Survivors Lead the Fight Against Millionaire Jeffrey Epstein
read • Written by Amanda Richardson • Jul 10th, 2019
In a shocking, yet relieving turn of events, multi-millionaire and notorious buyer of sex, Jeffrey Epstein, has finally been indicted in the state of New York for his involvement in the sex trafficking and exploitation of teenage girls. He was arrested on Saturday, July 6 and soon after, investigators searched his Upper East Side townhouse only to uncover additional evidence of his sexual obsessions with young women.
It is reported that hundreds, and possibly thousands of "sexually suggestive" photos including content with nude and partially nude underage girls have been salvaged. Found within a locked safe, it appears that Mr. Epstein also maintained digital copies of these items on various CDs with titles like "Girl pics nude", further implicating his lack of innocence and lack of repentance in the area of sexual deviancy.
Epstein's questionable extra-curricular activities were first examined by federal prosecutors in Florida in 2008, however, Epstein remained practically unscathed by the original 53-page indictment that involved multiple illegal ventures like persuading minors to engage in prostitution, conspiring to transport minors across state lines for the purpose of sexual solicitation, and the recruitment of a minor across state lines to engage in commercial sex acts, ranging from 2001 to 2007.
With the help of Alexander Acosta, Trump's current Secretary of Labor, Epstein served a mere 13 months in jail, where he reportedly spent six days out of the week in his downtown office as part of his "work-release privileges". In addition to protecting himself, the deal arranged in 2008 also protected his unidentified accomplices who reportedly planned, executed, and sometimes participated in many of his sexual excursions.
His victim count is close to the hundreds and continues to rise, and while many of his victims choose to remain anonymous, one survivor has voiced how this corruption of justice has impacted her life.
Michelle Licata, who was sexually abused by Epstein at 16, expresses frustration about how his previous indictment was handled, saying, "How come people who don't have money get sent to jail—and can't even make bail—and they have to do their time and sit there and think about what they did wrong? He had no repercussions and doesn't even believe he did anything wrong.''
Most of Epstein's victims, likely between the ages of 13 and 16, were procured maliciously, promising many of the young girls that they would be paid cash for massages. Once in his grasp, most women report that sensual massages were only the beginning of their abuse.

Jena Lisa-Jones was molested by Epstein at the age of 14 and expressed that she beats herself up mentally and physically when she thinks about what happened to her. "You can't ever stop your thoughts. A word can trigger something. For me, it is the word 'pure' because he called me 'pure' in that room and then I remember what he did to me…"

Epstein would typically give the women a few hundred dollars and in return, they faced objectification, indecent exposure, nonconsensual touching, molestation, oral sex, and sometimes rape. It's also noted that Epstein especially targeted young women from low-income households, making the ploy for money nearly impossible to resist. He also made unfair promises to a lot of his victims, stating that he could help them get into certain colleges or modeling schools.
One victim in particular, Jennifer Araoz, who was recruited for Epstein outside of her performing arts high school at the age of 14, stated that she was preyed upon after her dad's death. Araoz said that Epstein provided her with money and empty promises about a future acting career. She expressed that she didn't want the sexual advances but felt powerless to stop him. "I didn't know if he would get angry or if I didn't listen what the repercussions would have been … So, I kind of just followed. I was so young, so I didn't know better."
Epstein explicitly used his social status, well-connected colleagues, and unlimited financial resources all to feed into his insatiable obsession with underage girls. His perverse desires in combination with his wealth and power elevated him from a neighborhood predator to a despicable, ravenous monster.
This is a man who was willing to do whatever necessary to satisfy his need to sexually manipulate children. His obsession eventually transformed him from a purchaser of sex to a wealthy, privileged pimp when he began convincing the young girls he purchased to sell out their friends, as well.
He began convincing the young girls he purchased to sell out their friends.
In addition to the money the girls were given in return for their abuse, Epstein also promised a "finder's fee" to any of his victims who were willing to recruit. The middle school and high school girls were highly encouraged and generously compensated for providing other underage victims to Epstein to use at his disposal, creating an "ever-expanding web of new victims".
Courtney Wild, who was first introduced to Epstein at the age of 14 said, "By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15 years old. He was involved in my life for years."
She later elaborated on his constant need for sexual attention from underage girls stating, "If I had a girl to bring him at breakfast, lunch and dinner, then that's how many times I would go a day. He wanted as many girls as I could get him. It was never enough."
By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15 years old.
The story of Jeffrey Epstein is unfortunately further proof that if you are powerful enough or rich enough, you can do and say just about anything and somehow remain untouched by the justice system in America.

If it weren't for the brave and resilient survivors of Epstein's abuse and their relentless determination to expose him, the full story might never be heard, and justice might never be served. One of the main factors of this case being reopened is due to the Criminal Rights Act that most believe was intentionally violated in order to protect Epstein.
In their conniving efforts to protect a sexual predator, legal officials, like Alexander Acosta, kept the details of Epstein's highly generous 2008 plea deal under wraps as long as possible to avoid media coverage and ultimately to prevent his victims from fighting back. As if abusing and manipulating children wasn't enough, Epstein, his entire legal team, his long list of accomplices, and every official involved have collectively chosen to silence these women.
Epstein, his entire legal team, his long list of accomplices, and every official involved have collectively chosen to silence these women.
This unlawful decision robbed every single one of the 30 identified victims (at that time) the chance to face their abuser in court, only further inflicting the abuse and trauma that was caused by Epstein in years past.
"We were purposefully misled into believing that his sentencing [in state court] had nothing to do with the federal crimes he committed against me or the other girls," explained Courtney Wild.
Jeffrey Epstein is a ruthless monster with no regard for the criminal decisions he's made, and he must be stopped. With new evidence being uncovered and currently 80 victims identified, it's hoped by many that Epstein will finally pay the price for the sexual crimes he's committed. If given the maximum sentence, he could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted.
"It takes so long until you are able to speak about it. It took me having a daughter and looking at this young, beautiful innocent baby to say I want to speak out about it now. I'm hoping that this will bring out more girls so that they say, Me Too," said survivor, Virginia Roberts who continued to fight for justice years after his unmerited plea deal in 2008.
Privilege and power have protected this man for far too long. The time has come to speak up and speak out about the harm that Jeffrey Epstein inflicted on innocent children. It is never too late to serve justice and show these women that their stories matter. We must say their names and speak their stories. They are the real heroes in this tragic story of sexual exploitation.

Bring Freedom to Sexually Exploited Women


As we reach the last few hours of 2016, it is important to look back and see how far we've come, reflect on the goals we accomplished or failed in and look within on ways to improve in the coming year.
I don't know what might be running through your mind right now, you might have had a horrible year and are just waiting for a fresh start. But in life I say let's be thankful for the little things.
So you didn't reach your goal, or get that opportunity you've been waiting for. Maybe your prayers were not answered (God knows why, Isaiah 55:8). Perhaps you failed in sticking to your resolutions. There's no point crying over spilled milk, let's try to be thankful for the little things. No matter how bad everything might be, there must be something right or good happening, so let's focus on the positives.
I'm thankful that I successfully completed my NYSC service year in Calabar, Cross River State (post here). Though I may not be rich yet, I'm thankful for a new business idea. I'm thankful for new friendships and relationships. I'm thankful for you guys, my awesome readers. I'm thankful for life and an opportunity to try again.
What are you thankful for this year? No matter how small, write it down below.
Hope you all enjoy your New Year's celebration. Please be safe and careful, things tend to go wrong around this time. Also, I encourage everyone to go to church, let's start 2017 with God.
Friends that inspire are a must. Thanks for stopping by hun.
I'm thankful for life in itself, my blog journey, the ups, downs and everything in between. It's really easy to concentrate on things we don't have enough in this digital age but then a conscious effort and God's grace is all that's needed. Ah, I must be in Church on Sunday. Nothing is stopping me. Happy New Year in advance dear.
A Retrospective Account of 2016!
Yes girl, social media has a way of making you focus on the have nots but thank God for his Grace. Happy New year in advance. I look your determination, we must go to church oh.
Happy new year Sarah! 2016 was a very trying year for me but I'm indeed grateful for the little things and small victories. I'm grateful especially for family and good health. Cheers to an amazing 2017!
Hoping for a better 2017 for you and me. Happy new year dear.
Such a pretty smile. 2016 was a great year. I'm thankful for the several opportunities, new friends and family. I hope 2017 is better.


Register Log In Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums General Petroliana Discussion What pump is it ?
Friend of mine was showing me a pump that he has. Not sure what it is. It looks like a G&B 176 but it is different in several ways. It has stops inside the pump similar to a Fry. It takes a five gallon cylinder.
Here is a G&B 176 for comparison.
We have a 177 with these stops. They are usually missing for some reason.
The cut out in the sheet metal and the stops look the same to me. Thanks for the pictures, ABCTrip. Hope your looking Norm. Norm take a few minutes and join the group ! Great bunch of people and a wealth of knowledge.
I believe the one I posted was a model 6, but I will check.
It is a 5-gallon G&B T-177. I had a 10 gallon T-177 with the same type of gallon selectors. John, any idea what the attachment mounted to the inside of the hinged access door is for? My T-177 did not have it.
I can see that the 5 gallon T-177 had a completely different pump than the 10 gallon. The 10 gallon pump was the same style as a Fry pump and probably others.
Could the attachment mounted to the inside of the hinged access door be for storing the pump nozzle with hose to lock up the pump at night?


"Thirty-one teams passed up (taking me) so I've got a chip on my shoulder coming in already," Whitehead said.
"I feel great," he said. "I'm real close to 100 percent. I think by the time I get down there for minicamp and OTAs I'll be 100 percent."
"We feel great," Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht said. "There's more of a better vibe, not that it was ever bad, more high-fives and more positive energy with all the coaches and scouts this year than I can remember."
Bucs coach Dirk Koetter knows that 6-foot-6, 304-pound guard Alex Cappa, taken in the third round from Division II Humboldt State, will be facing a major step-up in competition. "That's a different level of football," Koetter said. "Right when his season was over, he goes down to Phoenix and works out at an O-line place with a bunch of NFL guys. He's the right kind of guy but there's definitely a transition."
"He's got track times, the ran guy 10.3-something 100-meters and multiple 10.5's," Koetter said. "He runs hard. He's going to bring something."
"I didn't have a lot of I-A offers, in fact the only two offers I had at the I-A level were Buffalo and Akron out of the MAC," Watson said. "For me, Penn was just the best fit for both football and academics."

Q: How do i shorten the code in Pascal if I have one part repeating in multiple if functions? i started learning Pascal on my own and i want to create a program where i will calcualte the number of possible moves for a horse to make in 2 moves if i know it's starting possition. So i know how to do it, first i calcualte if it's possible to move on all 8 sides (2 up and 1 left, 2 up and one right, 2 left and one up...) and if it is possible then i do it again for the second move, but then i would have the same code i used to calculate the possible moves the first time repeating for 8 times. Sorry if it's a dumb question, if you can give me some tutorial on this matter, i just started learning, i don't even know if it's possible to do this.

A: You can create a Function for your calculation. It could return the number of possible moves from a given location.
Something like this:
Function calcMoves(pos : Position) : integer
Begin
    ...logic...
    calcMoves := theNumberOfMovesThatAreLegalFromPos
End

Sorry if the syntax is off, it's been a while since I did stuff in Pascal.
However, the idea is that you can now reuse the calculation.
What might be even better is to have a function that calculates not only the number of allowed moves, but also the position. You will need to return some kind of Array or collection. This way you could call the function once with the starting position as argument and then iterate through all possible positions after that move, using the end position of the first move as start position for the second move. That's what I would do, but I really cannot remember how collections were working in Pascal.

Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has hiked the price of its most affordable bike, the 125 Duke. Dealers have confirmed that 125 Duke's prices have been raised by between a minimum of Rs 7,000 (Delhi) depending on the state, with the increase being as high as Rs 8,390 (Karnataka).
The 125 Duke is the entry-level motorcycle from KTM for the Indian market and was launched late last year in November at an introductory price of Rs 1.18 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi). The price hike, which came into effect on April 1, at the start of the new financial year 2019-20, has seen the price of the 125 Duke rise to Rs 1.25 lakh ex-showroom, in the nation's capital of Delhi. Prices in Bangalore, on the other hand are now over Rs 1.26 lakh before taxes.
The KTM 125 Duke is powered by 124.7cc liquid-cooled single cylinder engine that produces 14.5bhp and 12Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. The KTM 125 Duke has a dry weight of 148 kilogrammes and is the most powerful 125cc segment bike currently on sale in India. The 125 Duke has a claimed mileage of 46km/l (ARAI).
The KTM 125 Duke bought with it quite a few first-in-class features when it was launched back in November. These features include the trellis frame chassis and the 43mm upside down forks up front along with the aluminium swingarm. The KTM 125 Duke features a 10-way adjustable monoshock at the rear.
Braking on the smallest member of the KTM Duke lineup is provided by a 300mm disc brake with radial fixed four-piston callipers up front. At the rear, stopping power comes in the form of the 230mm disc brake with a floating single piston calliper. The brakes on the KTM 125 Duke are helped along by single channel ABS from Bosch. The baby Duke also features rear-wheel lift protection, which stops the rear wheel from lifting up when the front brake is pressed hard.
The KTM 125 Duke sits on 17-inch alloy wheels which are shod with 110/70 (front) and 150/60 (rear) tyres. The fuel tank of the KTM 125 Duke can hold 10.2-litres of petrol and the seat height of the naked motorcycle is 818mm.


Sciblogs | The robot – can it help out at Pike River?
The robot – can it help out at Pike River?
UPDATED: This evening's press conference on the rescue effort underway at the Pike River mine had much discussion of the military robot that is being prepared for deployment into the mine entrance.
Tasman District police area commander Superintendent Gary Knowles said the robot being supplied by the military would progress up the entrance of the mine and carry four video cameras. It could also carry sensors for detecting gas. Is it a robot specially designed for mining rescue missions? No, it isn't. But there also isn't such a device in deployment anywhere.
He added that the robot, which is a multi-use device used for everything from bomb disposal to traversing disaster zones, could only be deployed in fresh air, because it is not "intrinsically safe". That means it is not designed from the ground up to prevent electronic charges or sparks that could trigger an explosion in the presence of certain mixtures of gas. It has 1000 metres of fibre optic cable which it will trail behind it, sending video back to the outside world and allowing its controllers to steer it. Knowles said it would carry in its mechanical hand a rag or piece of paper as a visual aid to gauge if there is airflow in parts of the shaft it can reach.
The limit in the length of the existing cable available for the robot and its battery life will limit the extent to which the robot can explore the mine – though the cable is apparently being extended up to 2.5km to reach the full length of the shaft. It will also have to manoeuvre its way around a large mining vehicle abandoned in the middle of the shaft. The robot's military handlers are apparently completing a risk assessment to make sure introducing the robot to the mine isn't likely to trigger an explosion. But that prompted an interesting question from one of the journalists attending the press conference – if the robot will only be deployed in fresh-air scenarios, why not just send a person down? Pike River's Peter Whittall suggested its a matter of relative risk – sending a robot down is risky, but sending a person down is even riskier, given the increased potential for loss of life if something goes wrong.
V2 is approximately 50 inches tall and weighs over 1200 pounds. It is propelled by explosion-proof motors that drive rubber tracks similar to a military tank. It is equipped with navigation and surveillance cameras, lighting, atmospheric detectors, night vision capability, two way voice communication, and a manipulator arm.
The manufacturer is Remotec, Inc. of Oak Ridge, TN, a world leader in hazardous duty robotic vehicles. Remotec has designed and developed robots for applications such as bomb squads, hazmat, military, swat team, remote inspection of nuclear facilities, etc. MSHA acquired the specially designed robot at a cost of $265,000.
Unable to provide the rescuers with much information, the robot was left down the borehole overnight. Unfortunately, when the crew returned to retrieve it the next morning they discovered that the hole had shifted and the robot could no longer make its way back to the surface. Despite several attempts to remove the robot, including using a 400-pound chisel to break up the ground blocking its escape, the $35,000 robot became permanently trapped 52 feet below the surface.
The above description appears to actually be based on the report Mobile Robots in Mine Rescue and Recovery by Professor Robin Murphy et al. Professor Murphy runs the Centre for Robot-assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University , and is a world-leading expert on the deployment of mobile robots in disaster zones including mines. She is quoted in the Science Media Centre update above.
'Robots in general in the past have seldom worked — they are not able to cope with the level of damage found in the mines and are not flame proof or intrinsically safe. A robot was used in the USA at Sago with limited success.
Still, several experts are confident robots have a useful role to play in mine disasters with further refinement. William L. "Red" Whittaker is director of the Field Robotics Center and founder of the National Robotics Engineering Center at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. In this interview, he expresses optimism that robots are close to proving their worth in challenging mine search and rescue operations.
In a mine there are corridors and intersections and walls and floors and a roof — for a robot's navigation and reasoning that's a lot of information. But it's still a lot different than sending a robot into rush-hour traffic, for instance, to head two miles across town. A mine is a relatively simple world for a robot because it is uncluttered by many unanticipated items. In an office building there is far more complexity and clutter — desks, water coolers, signs, and people. So a mine is an amenable environment for a robotic device designed for simple navigation.
There is no fundamental barrier to good locomotion or moving through mine conditions or getting command and control via that robot or appending sense detectors or illumination devices or scanners. So useful rescue response robots could be specialized and deployed in the near term — there's no leap of physics or big missing piece of technology for machines that could move quickly and effectively in mines.
Other technology that would aid search and rescue teams in the event of mining disasters is also being developed. RFID tags could be carried by miners, transmitting data continuously about their location. But the range of these tags are limited. Inertial portable navigation systems and underground GPS devices are in development to get around the limitations of RFID.
Given the patchy track record of robotic devices in aiding in mine search and rescue operations, its important not to invest too much hope in what the New Zealand military's robot could achieve. Still, robotics experts will likely be watching with interest as the robot is deployed as each mining incident gives them valuable information about the limitations and potential of the technology.
any progress on mine rescue robots since 3 years passed?

Draftee Profiles:
At number 16 the 49ers drafted an outside linebacker who is always around the football. Julian Peterson (JP) of, Michigan State was, 6-4, 240. Julian is a big play man that can also play defensive end. He is aggressive and quick. His size allows him to make an impact on a defense, and is a great asset in breaking up runs. Peteson can drop into coverage and is a huge asset in the pass rush. Peterson will likely start for the 9ers, as he rounds out just four LBs on the current squad - Ken Norton JR., Winfred Tubbs, Anthony Peteson and now Julian. JP will likely be the man outside as Tubbs moves into the middle. This pick means Chad Pennington will likely not be a 9er, unless he falls into the second round where the 9ers may find it to hard to pass him over. Peterson runs a 4.6/40 with very good football instincts. He recorded 72 tackles, 25 for losses and, 11.5 sacks. JP is a little raw, but will benefit from full play time and will be a good asset to our defense. Many draft guru's were surprised to see Peterson fall this far and, Terry Donahue had this to say on Peterson: "It's a good start to help rebuild our defensive team".
With the 24th overall selection in the draft, and the 49ers second pick in the first round the 9ers elected defensive backAhmed Plummer. Plummer is 5'1" and weighs in at 191 lbs. He is the shortest CB the 49ers would consider, but has been measured up to 6'1" The addition of Plummer will allow the 9ers to solidify a defensive backfield that gave up 36 touchdowns last season. Plummer will likely start opposite Anthony Parker who was drafted last season. The 49ers are hopeing that Plummer will foollow in the footsteps of Ohio State alumnists, Shawn Springs and Antoine Winfield. Plummer is the type of player that wants to contribute and does so consistently. He had 14 intereceptions in his college career. This move shows that the 9ers serious about re-grouping on defense. Plummer is by many regarded as the top rated corner in the league, and will surely help the 9ers as they attempt to stop the strong passing Rams, and a Saint team that just aquired Jake Reed. Plummer is smart and athletic. He is a student of the game and posseses the intangibles necessary to make it at the next level. Plummer has above average speed, running a 4.5/40.
With their first pick in the second round the 49ers selected Virginia Tech defensive end John Engelberger. Engelberger is consistent and plays hard every down. Engelberger has the physical skills to be a good player at the NFL level but may not ever be a star player. Engleberger needs to improve foot work and make a conscience effort not to play up right. Engelberger has 4.5 speed and needs to show he can play at that speed, however he provides a solid rush off the end and may force Gabe Wilkins out of a job. ``This guy's got one of those motors you're looking for,'' 49ers Coach Steve Mariucci said. ``He flies around and works real hard.'' The 49ers continue to pick defense as they have one more pick in the second round.
With the 48th selection in the 2000 draft, the 49ers drafted their second defensive back, Jason Webster. Webster is small at only 5'9" but has blazing speed running a 4.4 / 40 and though the 9ers were not interested in someone so short Webster's special teams skills may have caught the 9ers eye. The 9ers will likely have Webster work hard on returning kicks, but Webster could see action in nickel and dime situations. Webster plays much bigger than he is, is a hard tackler and rarely misses a tackle, he also had 4 interceptions last season, and will compete for the nickel back position on the 9ers defense. Webster has a great work ethic and really good instincts, he is a good fit for corner, only a little short. This selection will help the 9ers defensive backfield, and raises more issues regarding current 49ers DB R.W. McQuarters.
After selecting 4 defensive players the 49ers opted to select only the second quarterback chosen in the 2000 draft, Hofstra QB, Giovanni Carmazzi. In Carmazzi the 49ers get a mobile QB, (4.7/40) that is big and has a strong arm. Carmazzi is a winner can make things happen. He is a student of the game, with high intelligence and smarts. He makes good decisions and leads the receiver with the ball. The 65th overall selection will surely help the 9ers in an area that has so much question, especially with the possible retirement of Steve Young. Carmazzi had 164 completions for 9371 yards and 71 TD's at Hofstra, and comes to a team that is strong in quarterback development. Carmazzi will not likely make an immediate impact but may see some action this season, and will push Jeff Garcia. The 49ers needed to draft a QB this year, and they drafted a good one in Carmazzi. Carmazzi has shown that he can have a quick release (1.9 seconds) but needs to make that a consistent time. He also has the ability to play in the shotgun or under centre, and should be a great pick for the 9ers. Carmazzi also had a 64% completion percentage. Barring a trade back into the third round, the 49ers should be done until tommorow morning.
The 49ers traded the 4th and 5th pick they aquired from Washinton earlier this off-season. With the 86th pick, their second in the third round the 9ers selected Jeff Ulbrich. Jeff is a 6 foot linebacker with 4.7 speed in the 40. All in all a very athletic linebacker with an eye for the quarterback. He's hard hitting and has a nose for the ball. On the down side he has a hard time getting to the quarterback. Nevertheless he does well in coverage, and will be a nice addition to the 49ers special teams, and when they rotate in a linebacker. A little stiff, but could be coached to eventually start in the league. ``He's 250 pounds of high-energy,'' said Mariucci. ``Who knows? Maybe he's another Matt Millen.''
After trading down to the 14th spot with Green Bay, the 49ers picked up another defensive back, John Keith. Keith has the size at 6'0", 210 lbs to make it in the NFL. He played well in '99, showing some big improvements. Keith seems to have lots of potential especially with his 4.5 speed. Keith missed most of the '98 season with a broken foot and hence should be able to improve given more time and coaching. Keith really does well against the run using his strength to break up plays. Last season he had three intereceptions. The 49ers continue to pick defensive backs after giving up 36 passing touchdowns last season. Keith played mostly safety in college, but the 9ers may be looking to move him over to defensive back. It looks like there will be lots of competition in this spot as training camp begins.
With the 132nd pick in this draft the 49ers opted for only their second offensive player, Paul Smith. Smith can be used at running back or fullback, and has shown good vision, and strength. He is a true North/South runner, and will help shore up a spot on the 49ers roster that has Garrison Hearst in doubt. Smith does a good job picking his hole, and exploding through it. Not used much in the passing game, but has shown good hands. If the 9ers are looking for him to play full back he will need to work a little on his blocking where he gets upright. Smith is a good player that has improved steadily over his college career. Smith has a slight history of knee injury (right medial collateral ligament sprain) that hindered him at the begining of the 1999 season.
In a trade with Chicago the 9ers aquired another fifth round pick, sending Chicago a 6th and 7th round pick. The 9ers went for yet another deffensive end with this pick, John Milem. Milem is a project at deffensive end. He is a strait rusher, and can clobber a quarterback but needs lots of work on his technique. Milem will likely serve as a backup in his first year, and does have the size to play any position along the line. He size also makes him tough against the run. Milem has a chance of making the squad, and though a project, could be rotated into the line to keep the defensive players fresh. Milem was the defensive captain of the Lenoir-Rhyne College football team, had 14 sacs and 22 tackles for losses.
The 49ers pulled off a trade with New England that allowed the 9ers to select their second quarterback of the draft, Tim Ratty. Ratty was rated quite high as a passer, and the 9ers drafting him signals that signing a veteran QB is almost completely out of question. Ratty has decent speed, and is quite poised as a QB. He will make the throw under pressure or on the run. He has the nice touch on the ball, and shows good judgment, smarts, and intangibles. Ratty is quick to pick up on defensive schemes, and is a good decision maker. In 1999 Ratty amassed 342 completions in 516 attempts for 3,922 yards 35 touchdowns and 12 INTs. Ratty is a little small of the QB position, and has needs to work on his deep ball, nevertheless can manage a team running a "West Coast Offense". Ratty will compete with Carmazzi as the two rookies enter training camp. The 49ers will likely carry 4 QBs on the roster this year, unless Steve Young retires. The drafting of two QBs puts the Rick Mirer rumours in question.
The 49ers final draft pick, their 10th of the 2000 draft, was tight end Brian Jennings. Jennings is only the 4th offensive player the 9ers chose in this draft. Normally this pick is considered irrelevant, but the 9ers needed to add depth to the tight end position, and Jennings should be able to help. Jennings is a good blocker that showed improvement in 1999 when he saw more playing time. He can also serve as a long snapper, but likely wont given the 9ers resigning of Joe Zelenka.

Elías Santos Abreu (Los Llanos de Aridane, 1856 - Santa Cruz de La Palma, 1937) fue un científico, médico, entomólogo y músico español.

Biografía

Santos nació en Los Llanos de Aridane y desde edad bien temprana, mostró interés por la música, con sólo 11 años, en 1867, y hasta al menos 1874, fue componente de la Banda de Música La Filarmónica, hoy Banda Municipal de Música de Los Llanos de Aridane. La cultura y la educación ocupaban parte de su vida. En 1871, era profesor titular de la escuela nocturna de adultos de la sociedad cultural y recreativa "El Siglo" de Los Llanos de Aridane, y en 1873 era secretario de la misma. Fue, junto al lanzaroteño Blas Cabrera Felipe, también de ascendencia palmera, una de las personalidades científicas más importantes del primer tercio del siglo XX en Canarias.

Se trasladó a La Laguna para cursar estudios de bachillerato, y a Sevilla, donde se licenció en medicina y en cirugía, y después se estableció como médico en Santa Cruz de La Palma. Santos Abreu prefirió vivir en su tierra y ejercer la medicina domiciliaria antes que alejarse de La Palma, como bien hubiera podido hacer, pues no le faltaron las ofertas. El 29 de julio de 1898 participa en la primera operación de ooforectomía hecha en La Palma, que se practicó en la villa de Los Llanos.

Su afán investigador le llevó al estudio de los insectos y las plantas con herbarios de La Palma y La Gomera. Por su trabajo "Ensayo de una monografía de los Tendipédidos de las Islas Canarias", obtuvo el premio Agell de la Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes de Barcelona en 1916. A partir de aquí comenzó a ser conocido internacionalmente como entomólogo y continuó con sus trabajos y sus publicaciones.

En 1892 organizó un pequeño laboratorio de análisis, el primero que se conoció en Canarias y uno de los primeros de España, destinado a estudios bacteriológicos y clínicos. En el archivo de sus investigaciones, figura el examen de cinco muestras de queso con hongos en los que encuentra el Penicillium, hallazgo este anterior al que casualmente diese la fama a Fleming en septiembre de 1928. La lejanía respecto de los grandes centros de investigación y la falta de un adecuado equipo privó a la humanidad de los beneficios de la penicilina, descubierta por Santos a finales del siglo XIX.

How Do I Get My Web Traffic Back?
The conference call came to life with a familiar ding! And after the quickest of introductions our prospective client jumped to the heart of the matter, with concern in his voice.
In this particular case, not unlike a handful of other recent calls, the team we were consulting with is responsible for a technology blog. The urgency in the callers voice was not a simple loss of pride in their Web traffic numbers, but a real loss in potential revenue.
You see this particular website was not simply a brand building, humanizing blog. This blog has historically been the top of their sales funnel–a real lead generation platform–for multiple business units.
They needed their traffic back, and fast!
In this case, the diagnosis was a lack of editorial strategy–lots of relevant content with little or no intentional construction. The result was lots of long tail search traffic, but their haphazard content creation has done little to secure any core keyword market share. And, probably in Google's estimation, doesn't provide a quality user experience or the necessary depth of content.
How, then, do you fix this problem?
It starts with a well planned content marketing strategy, but if you are losing traffic or took a big hit from a Google algorithm update, you're going to need quick fixes as well as long-term forward planning and processes.
If you're thinking: "Bill, this is already hurting my head. Can't I just call you and pick your brain for 30 min?" Yes, you can! Schedule a Pick My Brain session and we'll talk about your specific problem.
Depending on your business objectives and content production capabilities, how you mix these can vary greatly. I've ordered them top-to-bottom by what I have experienced as having the highest buying intent and subsequent lead conversion rate.
That's the basic short-term content marketing framework. Let's put this program into action!
The first step is to inventory (in the short-term you don't have time to produce more content–use what you have) your content and find your gems. Generally, these are going to be pieces of content that are already or should be providing value to your prospects and clients.
These content gems are typically articles, eBooks, presentations, or other content that is already getting a large share of your organic Web traffic or answers questions you get over and over from prospects and clients.
For blog posts or website articles: dress them up a bit with compelling images and ensure they have calls to action in the articles. Then pay to syndicate it out through a platform like Outbrain or Taboola.
For eBooks and presentations: your best strategy is a combination of landing pages and Facebook or Google ads. These venues are very responsive to free content offers and done correctly can send you reasonably inexpensive, highly targeted Web traffic.
I'll reiterate: short-term traffic recovery should involve a quickly organized but well executed paid media plan.
Whether it is a core element of your digital marketing program or not, you should be learning and perfecting a paid media plan that you can pull out if (really win) your traffic tanks because of external forces of digital nature.
Moving on to the permanent solution requires a more strategic approach.
Construct your long-term traffic recovery plan with consideration to not only the source of the Web traffic loss, but also what can defend your traffic against future dips.
These objectives have been clearly represented in Google's most recent algorithm updates and data refreshes.
Google's search quality objectives become our starting point. Long-term traffic building should address these fundamentals to gain favor from their search engine.
Keyword Research – It's the easiest and most overlooked tactic for recovering lost or simply getting more Web traffic. I recommend a slightly different approach than the average advice on keyword research. Don't look for words to stuff into page titles and copy. Instead, literally study and learn the language of your online customer. I guarantee you discover that your customers are searching with words that are much different from the words you are accustomed to using to sell your product or service. Get into Google's Keyword tool or other favorite keyword research tool and start looking at the types of searches people are actually doing in your market.
Increasingly Complex Content – The once-ubiquitous 400-500 word blog article is no longer cutting it for Google. You're going to have to start creating content that is worthy of publication in the most reputable of publications, meaning your content must have shades of true journalism, integrated custom design elements, or interactive data and content that makes it wholly unique.
Email List Acquisition – This isn't entirely consistent with the theme of recovering lost Web traffic, but it is. Wise counsel once said, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." This simple mantra dictates that we don't sit around waiting for Google to catch us on the chin again. Instead we build Web traffic engines that are independent of Google, the most significant of which should be an in-house email list. If you're not already actively capturing email subscriptions on your website–drop everything and do it today!
Disciplined Editorial Calendar – And for the last critical element, I recommend developing a highly intentional editorial calendar. Your calendar should carefully plan and drive the production of high quality content with sufficient density and user value, making it impossible for Google to miss or ding your search engine rankings.
Still a little nervous about getting your Web traffic back on your own?
Schedule a one-on-one consultation if you just want to pick my brain.

Eligible Westar Energy customers have received credits related to savings from the Westar Energy-Great Plains Energy (KCP&L) merger and from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
Credits were applied to accounts for residential customers with active service as of Dec. 1, 2018. For residential customers the credits are about $50 – about $15 related to merger savings and about $35 related to tax savings. The credit amounts for commercial and industrial customers varied based on their electricity use between November 2017 and October 2018. Credits will appear on WestarEnergy bills in December or January, depending on when a customer's bill is issued.
The credits resulted from agreements reached in proceedings at the Kansas Corporation Commission this year approving the merger and setting Westar Energy rates. The merger savings credit is the first of five annual credits. The tax savings credit is a one-time credit, as ongoing tax savings were calculated into prices with the recent price review.

Not Without My Daughter Cast
Amazon Digital Services LLC. Two- time Oscar- Winner, Sally Field plays suburban homemaker, Betty Mahmoody. Betty is the typical American woman: educated, intelligent and very determined. When her husband (Alfred Molina plays the corrupt, Moody) tricks her into going back to his homeland, the oppressive and desolate Iran, she validly has her trepidations. Eventually, Betty agrees to go on a short trip to Iran with Moody and their young daughter because her husband was able to convince her that no harm would come to them.

Keep in mind that this took place during the mid 8. Iran- Iraq War and right after the harsh sanctions of the Iran Revolution. Betty abruptly learns that they're no longer in Kansas when Moody's old- maid spinster- sister orders him to have her put on a chador (this is that very dismal looking cloak that Iranian women are forced to wear against their will because their society is terrified of anything that is remotely sexual.) Moody's sister, Ameh Bozorg, was played by the very talented Mony Rey.

RIP BOL
The founder of the Little Free Library has died
Courtesy the Little Free Library
Book box.
In an age of information overload, we all need strategies and recommendation to navigate humanity's vast cultural output.
By Thu-Huong Ha
October 19, 2018 This article is more than 2 years old.
You may have seen them: Quaint, sturdily built wooden boxes shaped like houses, stuffed with esoteric books about birding and worn novels by Danielle Steel. Todd Bol, the founder who started the vast network of these tiny, volunteer-built book swap boxes, passed away yesterday (Oct. 18).
Bol built the first such box on his property in Hudson, Wisconsin in 2009 and hoped someday there might be 2,000 such boxes installed in the US. Today there are more than 75,000 in 88 countries. He started the nonprofit Little Free Library, which builds and sells boxes to hold books for exchange, provides resources and books to DIY library-builders, and promotes literacy programs.
Bol was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early October and died at 62 years old.

A library in Richmond, Virginia.
"We are a 'book family,' and we always have a stack of books to pass along," writes Brett Barry, an audio producer who built one library from reclaimed building supplies in the Catskills region of New York in 2015, in an email to Quartz. His daughter helped paint it. "It's always fun to see a car pull to the side of the road to discover the library and browse the books inside," he adds.
Seeing—if not actually using—the Little Free Library is a romantic reminder of the simple pleasure of swapping a book with a stranger. A cross between world-weary pages stacked on a shelf in a hostel, and the little thrill of realizing a book you want to read is available for free, it's a physical manifestation of book-loving neighborliness. The notebooks kept in some libraries—catalogs of people's borrowings and their notes of enthusiasm—remind one of the pencil-scribbled smiley faces in hiking trail register books, physical mementos of transience and global movement.

Settlement of Sixties Scoop Class Action Français
Koskie Minsky LLP
TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - The courts have approved a settlement between representatives of certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop and the Federal Government of Canada ("Canada") that provides compensation for loss of cultural identity to certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop. Please read this notice carefully.
Settlement of Sixties Scoop Class Action
This lawsuit argues that Indian children who were victims of the Sixties Scoop lost their cultural identity and, as a result, suffered psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and physically. They were also deprived of their status, their aboriginal and treaty rights and monetary benefits to which they were entitled pursuant to the Indian Act, RSC 1985, c I-5 and related legislation and policies.
The representatives of certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop and Canada have agreed to a settlement. By agreeing to the settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial and delays in obtaining judgment, and certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop receive the benefits described in the settlement agreement. By settling this class action, the representatives of certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop and Canada have also been able to create a Foundation to enable change and reconciliation.
HOW DO I GET THIS MONEY?
To make a claim for money, you must fill in a Claim Form and send it to the claims office. Copies of the Claim Form are available here: sixtiesscoopsettlement.info.
Your payment will depend on how many Eligible Class Members submit claims in the settlement. The details are explained in the settlement agreement. The range of compensation will likely be $25,000 - $50,000. A copy of the settlement agreement is available here: sixtiesscoopsettlement.info.
WHAT IF I WANT TO EXCLUDE MYSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT?
If you want to exclude yourself from the settlement, you must opt out of the class action by October 31, 2018. If you opt out, you will not be entitled to any benefits or compensation for the settlement and your claim against Canada in respect of the Sixties Scoop will not be released. A copy of the Opt Out Form is available at sixtiesscoopsettlement.info.
If you have commenced a legal proceeding against Canada relating to the Sixties Scoop and you do not discontinue it on or before October 31, 2018, you will be deemed to have opted out of the settlement.
WANT MORE INFORMATION? Visit sixtiesscoopsettlement.info, call 1-(844)-287-4270, or email [email protected].
DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER SURVIVORS OF THE SIXTIES SCOOP?
Please share this information with them.
This notice was approved by the Federal Court and the Ontario Superior Court.

Not that I write a lot in mobile, but since it's part of the features offered, I thought I would make use of it. But I can't seem to change header size with any consistency. I select the dropdown heading menu and then when selecting a header size (other than Header 1) it continually pops back up to Header 1. I did get Header 2 to work once. It's as if the dropdown menu isn't long enough or "sticky" in mobile. And thus the selection doesn't stick.
There are a few other issues in mobile too like the + icon for the heading menu showing up on the wrong line and such.
I am using a brand new iPhone X and this happens on both Safari and Chrome.


Was just thinking about how strange it was to be sitting in an IS300 full of car enthusiasts when the only thing I seem to know about cars is how to wreck them.
Aaron offered up the keys to his new BMW and I hope it was with the knowledge that I would say no because if he seriously thought that I might say yes I would seriously question his sanity.
My life has turned upside-down in a matter of weeks. I feel like I'm in a time warp (a slightly offset time warp) except I'm a little older and perhaps even a little wiser. Everything is coming back to me as a result of my newfound free time, everyone's newfound singleness (99 billion breakups and counting), random phone call from a lost friend to an old friend, drunk dialing (which was perhaps a good thing) and IMing (sorry sorry sorry to all of you), and a million other bizarre happenings.
Hm. Get your mind around that. I'm still having trouble.


For the next year, I will be rotating around New York City, interning with registered dietitians (RDs) at various organizations, businesses, and clinics. I must complete this internship year and pass an exam in order to obtain my license as an RD.
As a dietetic intern, I have to complete a certain number of hours in a community nutrition setting, a clinical nutrition setting, and a food service nutrition setting. From September through December, I intern at three different community nutrition sites for five weeks at a time. In the spring, I do a 15-week clinical rotation, and next summer, I do a food service rotation.
I come home from a good sweaty yoga sesh only to find myself munching on a frosted chocolate cake. Oh, living in a co-op. Food is EVERYWHERE at every hour of the day. I come home to a huge hotel pan of chocolate cake, to the smell of homemade granola just out of the oven, to waffles wafting throughout the house, to cookies and flan and pie.
Aside from all of the sweet stuff, I come home to dinner every night at 7pm. Salads and roasted veggies and grains and beans and meats and cheese. To something new and exciting. To soups, stews, and casseroles. Comfort food, health food, vegan food, ethnic food.
Fresh baked bread. Fresh baked bread made with wheat gluten instead of flour: an accidental miracle. Snack shift. Oh, snack shift. Brownies, salsa, midnight madness.
Mini grilled cheese bites (with a rosemary butter), balsamic roasted asparagus with sautéed chard, couscous salad with chickpeas, roasted bell peppers, olives, onion, and peas, and a spring mix salad with citrus (blood oranges, cara cara oranges, and grapefruit), cranberries, and feta cheese. Oh yes, and lemon ginger molasses pinwheel cookies as well as vegan sugar cookies for the vegans.
With the gargantuan amount of food that a cook makes for the house (I live with 60 people, some other co-ops have only 20 people, and some 160 people), it can be difficult to take nice photos because everything is made in large, industrial pots and pans, and I am usually rushing to finish cooking so I do not have a moment to photograph in nice lighting before someone devours the food.
What a rewarding experience it is to cook here. I get everything delivered (no grocery shopping necessary) and I get to cook with a variety of ingredients that come in seasonally. I can experiment and people will eat my experiments and compliment me, yay!
We even bought and entire cow to be more "green" and to save money for the house. We also recently switched to having all-organic Straus milk and yogurt in the house. Our eggs are organic, too.
While cooking for and living with 60 college students can be tough at times, it is nice to have a "family" to eat dinner with every night.
Oh, and here is the recipe for the Lemon Ginger Molasses Pinwheel Cookies. These cookies require a bit of time just because the dough has to be refrigerated a few times and rolled out and rolled up and cut. Worth it. I taste real ingredients and I taste something sweet, satisfying, and soothing for my body.
Alice in Wonderland, the movie, is coming out next weekend, and these cookies would be great to make if you are hosting a "mad hatter" themed party in honor of Alice. They've got that Treshire Cat vibe going on.
1. To prepare ginger dough, place 1/4 cup butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes). Add molasses and egg yolk; beat until well blended. Weigh or lightly spoon 6 ounces (about 1 1/3 cups) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 6 ounces flour, ginger, and next 4 ingredients (through allspice); stir with a whisk. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.
2. To prepare lemon dough, place 5 tablespoons butter and granulated sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended (about 3 minutes). Add egg white; beat until blended. Beat in rind and vanilla. Weigh or lightly spoon 6 ounces (about 1 1/3 cups) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 6 ounces flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.
3. Unwrap ginger dough. Roll ginger dough between sheets of plastic wrap into a 13 x 8 1/2–inch rectangle (3/16 inch thick); chill 10 minutes. Unwrap lemon dough. Roll lemon dough between sheets of plastic wrap into a 13 x 9–inch rectangle (3/16 inch thick); chill 10 minutes. Carefully stack ginger dough on top of lemon dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one long edge. Starting with the long side without a border, roll up dough, jelly-roll fashion. Seal edges (do not seal ends of roll). Cover with plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes.
5. Unwrap dough. Cut with a sharp knife into 40 slices (about 1/4 inch thick). Reshape rounds, if necessary. Arrange slices 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake, 1 batch at a time, at 350° for 8 to 9 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
