Reports Claim Alan Dershowitz Allegedly Begged Trump To Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell
Alan Dershowitz seems to look guiltier and guiltier as time goes on regarding his alleged involvement with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
According to reports from The Sunday Times, Dershowitz asked former President Trump to pardon the now convicted sex trafficker and abuser Ghislaine Maxwell ahead of her trial.
Ghislaine Maxwell's brother, Ian Maxwell, gave an interview to the outlet claiming, "There was one phone call between Professor Dershowitz and a family member during which the generic issue of pardons was touched on," explaining that his family never once paid Dershowitz for his services nor asked him to talk about the matter with President Trump.
Dershowitz has denied lobbying Trump for a pardon.
"I have no comment on what anybody else said," he told Insider. "All I can tell you is that the [Times of London] story, the allegation of the story that I lobbied the president, is simply not true."
Alan Dershowitz 's Presumption of Innocence Out the Window?
There's no doubt throughout his career Alan Dershowitz has proven himself to be a genius in the field of law, but there is zero doubt in my mind that something looks rotten with his repeated involvement surrounding Epstein, Maxwell, their co-conspirators and their victims.
Alan Dershowitz is accused of sexual assault by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
Dershowitz has denied all claims he had inappropriate relations with the then-teenage victim. Giuffre has consistently claimed Epstein trafficked her to Dershowitz at least six times, the first incident taking place when she was just 16 years old.
Let's not forget Dershowitz is the man who got Epstein his controversial plea deal in 2008 regarding Epstein's sex offenses with underage girls. That plea deal would allow Epstein to come and go as he pleased for 13 months enabling him to continue his abuse and trafficking during his prison sentence.
Because how in the f*!" does a convicted sex offender get a deal that makes him a free man during his prison sentence? It takes people in high places who in my opinion have tons to lose to repay a debt to protect their own asses that's how, I mean Alex Acosta…I'll leave it at that.
According to CNBC, Dershowitz would visit Epstein in prison during his sentence chalking it up to, "I always visit clients in prison. We discuss legal issues. It was not a personal visit. It was professional."
Listen closely to the lawyer who drafted the original settlement, Alan Dershowitz, who has been accused of sexual abuse himself, desperately bully and trying to smear VG by unbelievably calling her a "prostitute". pic.twitter.com/bWhw5L9aRd
— McCarthy (@McCarth89713129) January 3, 2022
It clearly comes off as if Dershowitz is trying to use his name, skill and power to gain leverage at all costs to cover his ass, maybe he truly is guilty of everything Giuffre has claimed.
The BBC Royally Dropping The Ball!
Moreover, just weeks ago Dershowitz was asked to give impartial legal analysis on the BBC regarding Maxwell's trial and he did not do that, he attacked Giuffre.
The BBC did not look good either considering they intentionally did not inform their viewers he was suspected of the abuse allegations from an Epstein victim prior to giving his on air "impartial analysis" on Maxwell's conviction.
The BBC released a statement through its press team's Twitter after severe backlash from it's audience, stating that the Dershowitz interview "did not meet the BBC's editorial standards… Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst and we did not make the relevant background clear to our audiences."
Not a surprising response since the BBC rarely covers anything regarding Epstein, Maxwell, the co-conspirators or their victims. It probably has something to do with Giuffre who's also accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse multiple times in great detail, which doesn't help the image of the country or it's figureheads, Prince Andrew has denied all allegations.
This entire lineage of horrible events along with the company Epstein and Maxwell sought and kept with people from Dershowitz, Trump, Clinton, Barr and everyone who's known and unknown just oozes of evil filth.

Gen. John Raymond: U.S. Space Force Will Be Key to Defending the Ultimate 'High Ground'
On November 30, 2020 By Jim Garamone, Defense.gov
Space is a crucial domain, economically and militarily, and it must be protected'
Space Force Gen. John W. "Jay" Raymond, chief of space operations, walks off the flightline after a visit to the 21st Space Operations Squadron, Ka'ena Point, Oahu, Nov. 21, 2020. Ka'ena Point is part of the Air Force Satellite Control Network, which consists of seven remote tracking stations around the world. Raymond visited the 21st SOS detachment during his first official visit to Pacific Air Forces Headquarters at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. (Defense.gov image)
(DEFENSE.GOV) – The importance of space to the modern world cannot be underestimated, and the U.S. Space Force will be key to defending the ultimate "high ground," said Space Force Gen. John "Jay" Raymond, the chief of space operations for the new service.
Other nations are realizing the crucial role of space, as well, and the general is meeting with allies and partners to build on long-established military-to-military relationships.
He concluded a visit with Pacific allies Saturday and spoke about the need for such outreach, how the new service operates and how service members are responding to it.
Raymond gave the interview during his flight from Hawaii to Colorado. He was in an aircraft traveling 500 mph over the Eastern Pacific, and the reporter was sitting in Alexandria, Va.
The call's clear sound quality would not have been possible without space capabilities. Raymond's aircraft navigated using the global positioning system. The aircrew received weather reports based on satellite information.
Space is a crucial domain, economically and militarily, and it must be protected, Raymond said.
The new service is less than a year old, yet it has made tremendous strides.

"Space really underpins… all of our instruments of national power," Raymond said. "It provides huge economic opportunity, scientific opportunity and military opportunity."
Many people call Operation Desert Storm the first "space war." U.S. strategic missile warning capabilities were used innovatively to detect tactical scud missiles. GPS made possible the "left hook" blow into southern Iraq.
"It was the first war where we integrated strategic space capabilities into theater operations," Raymond said. "And it provided us a significant advantage."
Since then, the strategic environment has changed considerably. Space was a benign domain in 1991, but it is a contested domain today. This requires the U.S. military to adapt and change, Raymond said.
"We have to train our operators differently, we have to have different space architectures, and we have to have partnerships," he said.
China and Russia caused this shift in the strategic environment. The two countries seek to stop U.S. access to space, and they are developing capabilities that would negate the U.S. advantage
"I think there's a realization amongst nations that access to space is no longer a given," Raymond said. "We've got to make sure that we stay ahead of this growing threat."

China and Russia have exhibited threatening behavior in space. Their capabilities include reversible jamming of GPS and communication satellites.
The two nations are working on directed energy and kinetic destruction of U.S. assets via missiles on the ground. Raymond said that there are on-orbit capabilities which are very concerning. If people think the threat isn't real, the general points back to when the Chinese shot down a satellite in 2007.
This is why partnerships are so important to the United States and to the world. Space will be a trillion-dollar economy by itself over the next few years, he said, and "it offers us an opportunity to develop global partnerships that allow us to take a global perspective," he said.
During his Air Force career, Raymond served as the vice commander of the 5th Air Force based in Japan. He was there during the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear plant meltdown. U.S. forces based in Japan and in the Pacific came to the aid of the Japanese allies.
"I saw the value of that partnership, front and center," he said.
He saw the cooperation between the U.S. and Japan on land, sea and air and thought the two militaries needed to have the same cooperation and understanding about the space domain.
That is happening, not just with Japan, but with many close allies.
"We've really gone from partnerships that were just one-way data sharing arrangements — where we share space situational awareness information — to partnerships where we now operate together, train together, exercise together, wargame together, and where we're just beginning to develop capabilities together," Raymond said.
The United States and international partners are also talking about norms of behavior in space and how responsible nations act in the space domain.
Other nations are developing space commands. France stood up a Space Command in 2019. The United Kingdom has funds for a Space Command in their recently unveiled budget. Japan just stood up a new organization centered on space.
"Across the globe, there's a recognition that space needs to be elevated in importance to a level relative to everybody's security," he said.

Nicholas Evans, 613th Air Operations Center commander, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Nov. 20, 2020. Raymond visited space professionals working at the 613th AOC to gain first-hand insight into their daily operations. (Defense.gov image)
The American military space effort — both the U.S. Space Force and the combatant command, U.S. Space Command — are not large organizations, but they have a large footprint.
In addition to working with allies, Raymond has worked with the combatant commands to learn their needs, how they see the future and what sorts of capabilities they will need moving forward.
The Space Force is a global power, and the requirements have to be examined globally, as well. The force works with all the geographic combatant commands.
The Space Force celebrates its first birthday Dec. 20, 2020, and Raymond said the service has really been in the process of "inventing" itself.
"This service … has to be agile and lean to go fast," he said. "I think that's critical to our success in the space domain. I really believe that large organizations are slow, and I will do all I can to stay small."
Space itself is "fast." He noted that objects in space go 17,500 mph just to stay in orbit.
Inspired by the idea of traveling at the speed of space, the Air Force swiftly streamlined the creation of Space Force. It is not a numbered Air Force — a three-star position — and Raymond eliminated a series of O-6 commands.
"We wanted to reduce the decision space between the experts in the field and the decision-makers," he said.
The Space Force staff was estimated to need 1,000 service members. It will have about 600 and is not growing, Raymond said.
If the command gets new missions, they may revisit the manning situation, but the service will never match the Army, Air Force or Navy in size.
"This is a small, highly technical service that provides value well beyond the size of the force structure," he said.
One example he gave was a squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. It has about 100 personnel and operates the entire GPS constellation for the world.
"Small numbers of people can have a huge global impact," he said.

"Jay" Raymond, chief of space operations, administers the oath of office/enlistment virtually to 73 officer and enlisted space professionals as they transfer from the Air Force to the Space Force. The space professionals are part of the Peterson-Schriever, Colo., garrison. (Defense.gov image)
Raymond said he is seeing excitement once again in America about space.
"There's excitement across the nation I haven't seen since the Apollo days," he said.
There's talk of NASA moon landings again and eventual trips to Mars. The accomplishments of SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, United Launch Alliance and other private firms are also fomenting interest.
In the Space Force, "everybody in this service has an extra bounce in their step, because the nation and the world understand just how valuable space is to our nation," he said.
The force has had no trouble getting volunteers. The service had to have an application process for those wishing to transfer from the Air Force.
"If you look at the Air Force Academy two years ago, there were 13 cadets who came to the force," he said. "This last year, we had 86. This year, it'll be 100."
The same thing is happening in universities and colleges around the country, with many applicants studying astro-engineering.
"Ten years from now, we're going to reap the benefits of this," he said.
Raymond knows what he is talking about. On July 20, 1969, the general was a kid in West Point, N.Y.
"I remember sitting on the living room floor watching Neil Armstrong first walk on the moon," he said.
"And then I remember turning around and going to build an Apollo model rocket. I think the same thing is happening today."

Serial Killer Kermit Gosnell's Victims & Others Remembered in a Unique Way
Ann-Marie Murrell Send an email May 1, 2013
Pure, unadulterated evil manifested itself in the City of Brotherly Love. Forty-seven fetuses stored in cat food containers. Venereal diseases spread among patients because of dirty instruments. Fifteen-year-olds administering anesthesia. Live babies struggling in toilets, jumping as their spinal cords are snipped with scissors. Women dying with their organs perforated.
Most of us have shaken our heads and fists as horror story after horror story relayed the grievous atrocities perpetrated by abortionist Kermit Gosnell under the guise of "a woman's right to choose." If you can stomach more information, Fox News will air a one-hour special titled "See No Evil – The Kermit Gosnell Murders" on Sunday, May 5th at 9 PM to bring to light the mass murder trial of the century.
In one of the only bright spots of this gruesome saga, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life recently asked authorities for the bodies of the babies recovered from Gosnell's House of Horrors. The bodies of some 45 babies were recovered from the clinic, where they were kept frozen in a variety of containers in freezers, and Fr. Pavone hopes to give the babies a proper burial.
Inspired by this action, Citizens for a Pro-life Society, Priests for Life, and the Pro-life Action League have announced a "National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children" to be inaugurated on Saturday, September 14, 2013, to honor infants killed by abortion. The new national event is meant to honor the unborn at the gravesites where they are buried, and it will be the first time in the history of legalized abortion that such nationwide memorials will be conducted, and thousands of people from across the country are expected to participate. The date of September 14, 2013, was chosen for this event because it marks the 25th anniversary of the burial of several hundred abortion victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
As the press release explained, "At over 25 locations, babies have been buried after having been killed by abortion. Many of these were retrieved from the actual trash dumpsters of abortion clinics or pathology labs where the bodies of the aborted unborn were shipped. Some graves have hundreds of bodies buried in them. In the months between now and the memorial services, the public will be invited to learn more about the stories behind each of these sites and how the babies were killed and later honored by being retrieved and buried."
Fr. Pavone summed it up best, "Having a memorial service where these babies are buried reminds us that abortion is not merely about beliefs, but about bloodshed; not just about viewpoints, but victims."
So far, the National Day of Remembrance team has located 28 gravesites spread throughout the United States that will be sites for the solemn prayer vigils on September 14th. These identified gravesites dedicated to abortion victims are found in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Guam, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Eric Scheidler, Monica Miller, and Fr. Frank Pavone (the organizers of the event) emphasized that local leaders and activists are needed to help organize the memorial services. All that information can be found at www.AbortionMemorials.com.
St. Thomas Aquinas once said, "God allows evil only so as to make something better result from it." Let us hope and pray that this is a step to accomplishing that.

Die Hüsgen-Uhr ist eine astronomische Uhr, die 1746 nach Plänen des Hofrats Wilhelm Friedrich Hüsgen konstruiert wurde.

Geschichte
Ursprünglicher Besitzer der Uhr war Hofrat Wilhelm Friedrich Hüsgen, Autodidakt, der die Uhr nach eigenen Plänen von den Gebrüdern Kinzing in Neuwied erbauen ließ.

Er war ein guter Freund der Familie Goethe. Der junge Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lernte die Uhr in Hüsgens Haus in der "Allee" (dem heutigen Goetheplatz in Frankfurt am Main) kennen und war davon so beeindruckt, dass er sich noch rund fünf Jahrzehnte später in Dichtung und Wahrheit an die "für damalige Zeiten wenigstens wundersame Uhr" erinnerte.

Nach Hüsgens Tod war die Uhr Bestandteil der Sammlung seines Sohnes Heinrich Sebastian Hüsgen. 1780 druckte er in seinen "Nachrichten" ein Manuskript des Vaters ab, das die verschiedenen Besonderheiten des Mechanismus erläutert.
Nach dem Tode der Junggesellen Heinrich Sebastian wurde die Uhr, auf Grund des testamentarischen Wunsches, am 9. Mai 1808 von einer Nichte versteigert. Etwa im Jahre 1830 gelangte die Uhr durch weitere Versteigerung in den Besitz der Frankfurter Familie "Fleck". Am 8. Dezember 1933 konnte sie das Freie Deutsche Hochstift zum Preis von 2000 RM erwerben.
Die Uhr wird seitdem auf dem Vorplatz zum 2. Stock des Goethe-Hauses präsentiert.

Die Astronomische Uhr wurde im Laufe der Zeit mehrmals, teilweise auch nicht fachmännisch, repariert oder gewartet. Das führte dazu, dass die meisten astronomischen Indikationen nicht funktionierten und die Uhr oft stehen blieb. Im Jahre 1994 wurde eine komplette Restaurierung der Uhr beschlossen, und die großen Restaurierungsarbeiten folgten dann in den Jahren 1995 bis 1996. Die Astronomische Uhr ist ab diesem Zeitpunkt wieder in Betrieb.

Gleichzeitig mit der astronomischen Uhr war (vermutlich ebenfalls von Kinzing) auch eine zugehörige, separate Sonnenuhr angefertigt worden, die zur Einstellung der astronomischen Uhr diente. Sie ist heute allerdings verschollen, lässt sich jedoch anhand einer Beschreibung von Hüsgens Sohn rekonstruieren.

Beschreibung
W. F. Hüsgen hatte als Advokat zu seiner Zeit sicherlich eine gute allgemein-wissenschaftliche Ausbildung genossen, die es ihm ermöglichte ein mechanisches Werk mit Kalendarischen-, Astronomischen- und Äquationsanzeigen präzise zu berechnen. Was ihm jedoch fehlte waren "technische Kenntnisse". Die gesamte Konstruktion ist übermäßig und zu kompliziert. Dazu im Gegensatz waren die Gebrüder Kinzing hervorragende Uhrmacher und es war ihnen sicherlich klar, dass die Hüsgens Konstruktion nicht die einfachste ist. Die Zusammenarbeit führte jedoch dazu, dass das gesamte Werk, insbesondere die astronomische Indikationen und das Kalendarium, ein absolutes Unikat geworden ist.

Gehäuse
Das Uhrengehäuse der astronomischen Bodenstanduhr hat eine Höhe von 269 cm, eine Breite von 97 cm und ist 38 cm tief. Es besteht aus Weichholz, auf welches verschiedene Holzarten furniert wurden. Eine Schellackpolitur bildet die Oberfläche. Im oberen Teil ist das Kalendarium angebracht. Darunter ein Zifferblatt mit astronomischen Indikationen, ganz unten der Bärenautomat.

Baugruppen und deren Funktionen

Alle Baugruppen sind mit Gewichtsaufzügen (Darmseile und Bleigewichte) angetrieben. Das Gehwerk hat ein Sekundenpendel mit einer rückführenden Hemmung.

Kalender
Der Kalender ist als ein Gregorianischer, ewiger Kalender konzipiert und berücksichtigt daher alle Schalttage.

Die Anzeigen von oben nach unten:
 Tag der Woche
 Tag des Monats
 Monatsname
 Jahreszahl
Die großen Kalenderringe laufen von links nach rechts innerhalb einer Lünette, so dass das Datum bequem abgelesen werden kann. Während die drei oberen Ringe wie üblich graviert und schwarz eingelegt sind, ist der Jahresring nur mit wasserlöslicher Farbe gezeichnet, damit, nach Ablauf von 12 Jahren, neue Jahreszahlen aufgebracht werden können.

Im Bild rechts: "Heut Donnerstag Den 25ten August 2011"

Zeitanzeige
Das skelettierte Zifferblatt in der Mitte zeigt die Stunde und Minute. In einem kleinen zusätzlichen Zifferblatt oberhalb der Zeigerwelle wird die Sekunde gezeigt.

Die astronomische Uhr besitzt eine Äquation. Es kann zwischen der Wahren Ortszeit (WOZ) und der Mittleren Ortszeit (MOZ) mit einem kleinen Hebel oberhalb des Zifferblattes umgeschaltet werden. Am Präsentationsort im Goethe-Haus ist die "ungleiche Zeit" (WOZ) ausgeschaltet und die "gleiche Zeit" (MOZ) auf Mitteleuropäische Zeit (MEZ) bzw. Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit (MESZ) gestellt.

Sonne
Das Sonnenzifferblatt ist links angeordnet. Die Miniaturen der Sternbilder sind nicht mehr ursprünglich. In der Mitte dreht sich einmal im Tropischen Jahr eine hölzerne, vergoldete Sonne im Uhrzeigersinn, die mit einer blauen Scheibe und einem Zeiger fest verbunden ist.

Der Sonnenzeiger zeigt auf dem Zifferblatt von innen nach außen:
 Tierkreiszeichen in denen sich momentan die Sonne befindet
 Länge der Nacht
 Länge des lichten Tages
 Anzahl der Wochen bis zum Quartalsende
 Einzelne Tage des Jahres, je durch einen Punkt dargestellt
 Die vergangenen Wochen seit Jahresanfang, in Quartale eingeteilt.

Mond
Das Mondzifferblatt ist rechts angeordnet. In der Mitte dreht sich eine hölzerne, schwarz–silberne Mondkugel von rechts nach links zur Anzeige der Mondphase. Der Mondzeiger dreht sich samt dem stilisierten Sternhimmel einmal im Synodischen Monat im Uhrzeigersinn. Auf dem Zifferblatt sind vier bildliche Darstellungen der Mondphasen zu den jeweiligen Vierteln zwischen die Miniaturen angebracht. Die Miniaturen sind auch hier nicht mehr original.

Der Mondzeiger zeigt auf dem Zifferblatt von innen nach außen:
 Mondphase bildlich (Miniaturen)
 Anzahl der Tage bis zum Ende der Mondphase
 Verflossene Tage der gesamten Mondphase
 Noch vorhandenen Tage bis zum Ende des Quartals
 Verflossene Tage der Mondphase in Quartale unterteilt

Schlagwerk
Das Repetitions-Schlagwerk hat 4 Bronzeglocken und 5 Hämmer. Viertelstündlich wird ein Spielwerk mit der Tonfolge c'', g, c', e, c' ausgelöst, zur vollen Stunde anschließend das Stundenschlagwerk (c').

Bärenautomat
Der Tanzbär im Türausschnitt des Gehäuses hat eine Signalfunktion: Bevor das komplizierte Werk zum Stillstand kommt, legt er sich auf den Rücken und mahnt, dass die Uhr aufgezogen werden muss. Hinter der oberen Glasscheibe in der Tür befand sich ursprünglich ein zweiter Automat der anzeigte, dass das Uhrwerk in Betrieb war: Zwei Männer sägten einen Steinblock, eine sehr zeitaufwendige Arbeit, die wohl als Symbol für die Ewigkeit zu verstehen war.

Hebden Bridge Chess Club
"Imperfection is not the tragedy of chess, but its attraction" – Australian Chess Brilliancies
Bottom Boards Batter Brighouse
2013-14 Season Journal Add comments
This week our alliterative headline leads us into the second round of the Calderdale League 1 season. Last time out we mentioned that Hebden Bridge 'A', the reigning champions, did not play their scheduled derby match after the club was forced to withdraw the 'B' team due to a lack of players. This just meant that the 'A' team were chomping at the bit to get their first match under their belts and they traveled away to Brighouse for their first taste of combat.
Mmmm, tasty! Hebden's bottom three boards managed to run onion rings around their Brighouse adversaries on this occasion. Image used under Creative Commons terms and sourced from jypsygen's Flickr photostream
Having lost Matthew Parsons before the season started and then discovered that Pete Leonard was unable to play in this fixture as well, Captain Nick Sykes was forced to take drastic measures with the scanty resources available to him. Fortunately he was able to call upon the services of Andy Bak who stood in for Pete in one match last season. This meant that the two sides were pretty well balanced ratings-wise with Andy out-grading Brighouse's Dennis Breen on board 1 and Robert Broadbent outgrading Hebden's Andy Leatherbarrow by a similar margin on board 2. Boards 3 and 4 were more closely matched although Hebden had the stronger players on paper in both cases, and on board 5 Hebden's Josh Blinkhorn faced a completely unknown quantity in the form of Mike Brocklehurst who was returning to competitive chess after a number of years away from the game.
In the corresponding fixture both last season and the season before Hebden had come close to disaster only to win by the odd board in matches that saw all five games ending with wins for one side or the other. This time there was but a single draw! The night started well for Hebden as Nick Sykes won the battle of the Captains against Bruce Bendall on board 3. Nick always enjoys facing the Anti-Sicilian lines and has an excellent record against them. He confidently repelled Bruce's Grand Prix Attack set up and then went on the front foot to launch a devastating attack which was all the more effective due to Bruce still having his queen's rook and bishop parked up and out of the game.
Not long after this Andy Bak and Dennis Breen agreed peace terms on Board 1. Dennis deployed a King's Indian Attack and played it fairly quietly thus allowing Andy to equalise without any problems. However, Dennis always manages to find activity in his games and this was no different as he initiated some tricky middle game play. Andy navigated the tricks and reached a position which the computer suggests was much better for him but, seeing that there were still some murky waters to navigate and a favourable match score he steered towards a line that forced a draw.
Josh was playing his first game for Hebden Bridge 'A' and was left with the unenviable task of taking on a returning player of whom nothing was known prior to the game. This is always tricky. Mike employed the Four Knights Game and Josh chose to complicate the game early on rather than allow dull symmetry to emerge. This paid off handsomely as he soon developed a strong attack. Mike defended stoutly but eventually his position as overwhelmed and he started to haemorrage material.
Josh's win sealed at least a draw for the visitors but Robert Broadbent then gave Brighouse a chance as he complete a trade mark grind against Andy Leatherbarrow. The opening was typically obscure from both players but Andy lost a pawn in a multiple minor piece ending. It looked like he might have counter play but in the end, as Robert put it so apositely after wards "a pawn is a pawn". Yes, and Robert is not the kind of player that you want to give a pawn to. He tends not to give them back and then makes you suffer interminably.
That just left Dave Shapland's game against Paul Whitehouse to finish off the night. In fact, by the time Andy and Robert had finished this game too was all but over as Dave had managed to launch a king's side pawn storm against the enemy monarch that seemed certain to end in regicide. Earlier Paul's passive opening play had allowed Dave to achieve all the benefits of a King's Indian type-attack but without any of the usual draw-backs. It was a bludgeoning rather than a rapier like offensive in the end but it ended in entertaining checkmate none-the-less.
So, Hebden avoided a bloodbath but won more convincingly than in previous seasons as the bottom three boards carried them across the line. One suspects this will have to happen on a very frequent basis if Hebden are to have even the smallest hope of fighting for their title again this year. The final match score card was:
Brighouse vs. Hebden Bridge 'A'
D.Breen ½ – ½ A.Bak
R.Broadbent 1 – 0 A. Leatherbarrow
B.Bendall 0 – 1 N.Sykes
P.Whitehouse 0 – 1 D.Shapland
M.Brocklehurst 0 – 1 J.Blinkhorn
1½ – 3½
Elsewhere, Todmorden 'A' sat the round out having been scheduled to play Hebden 'B'. Whilst they did so their 'B' team suffered at the hands of the ferocious Halifax 'A' side who travelled with an even stronger team than had drawn with Huddersfield in round 1. Wins by Winston Williams and Darwin Ursal on boards 1 and 3 respectively where surrounded by three draws to ensure the visitors cruised to victory.
Meanwhile, back in Halifax, Huddersfield played away again (having played Halifax in round 1), this time against the new look Courier 'A' side. Courier clearly have aspirations to go for the title but their ambitions were thwarted as the visitors edged a tight match (Huddersfield always do this!) with wins for Mitchell Burke against Tony Slinger on board 1 and Tony Aguirre against Kevin Winter on board 5. In the middle of the tie was a nice consolation win for Dave Patrick over Greg Eagleton. Huddersfield look as difficult to beat as ever they were and they have started with three points from two matches just like Halifax. These two look like the teams to beat this season.

Loved playing through your game Dave very nice!
It's so nice to see these 1.d4 sidelines punished like they should be!
Nice to put the Anti-Sicilians in their place too.
As a London player I cringe at some of those early moves. Black is already equal/ better after 4. Bd3.

Pre-Modern & Modern
Rousseau, Melody, and Mode
Friday, May 17, 2013 by Ben Elton | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Though best remembered today for his political philosophy, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was also a careful student of music. But his conclusions are undermined by the liturgical music of Ashkenazi Jews.
Leaving the Ghetto
Friday, February 8, 2013 by Jacob Katz | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
"Was there any possibility," asks Jacob Katz in this 1996 Commentary essay, "that the Jews collectively might have been accepted in Europe on their own terms—that is, as a community, with a religion opposed to Christianity?"
Killing Rathenau
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 by Carole Fink | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Walther Rathenau was neither a typical German Jew nor a traditional German statesman. Born into a wealthy industrialist family that had disowned its Jewish beliefs and practices and gaining political office late in life, Rathenau was the quintessential outsider.
Catholics, Jews, and Jewish Catholics
Monday, June 18, 2012 by Daniel Johnson | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Jews and Catholics in the English-speaking world have so much in common that they ought to make common cause more often than they actually do. The friction between them that sometimes catches fire is, as often as not, based on mutual ignorance and mistrust.
At the Edge of the Abyss
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 by Elliot Jager | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
The striking thesis of a new work is that even before Hitler came to power, the prognosis for European Jewry was bleak: "The demographic trajectory was grim and, with declining fertility, large-scale emigration, increasing outmarriage, and widespread apostasy, foreshadowed extinction."
The Baron-Cohens and the Problem of Evil
Thursday, May 31, 2012 by Allan Nadler | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
The pervasiveness of evil and the suffering of innocents have confounded religious believers throughout history. Jews have produced a vast literature that attempts to reconcile God's justice with evil's apparent dominion.
Sending Mein Kampf Back to School
Tuesday, May 22, 2012 by Alex Joffe | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Important literature can't be kept under wraps forever. A case in point is Mein Kampf. The German state of Bavaria, which holds the German copyright, has blocked the book's publication within Hitler's homeland.
Scholarship and Anti-Semitism at Yale
Monday, March 26, 2012 by Ben Cohen | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Almost a year has passed since Yale University shuttered the five-year-old Yale Interdisciplinary Initiative for the Study of Anti-Semitism, known by the unwieldy acronym "YIISA," and replaced it with the Yale Program for the Study of Anti-Semitism, or "YPSA."
Hitting the Jackpot
Thursday, March 8, 2012 by Micah Stein | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
Who doesn't like Purim? Besides the costumes and candy, the story itself has all the politics, sex, and violence of a juicy HBO series. In case you missed it: "Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast a pur—that is, a lottery—with intent to crush and exterminate them."
Cyrus, Ahmadinejad, and the Politics of Purim
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 by Alex Joffe | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features
At this week's pre-Purim meeting in Washington between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss Iran's nuclear threat to Israel, Netanyahu gave Obama a present: the book (or m'gilah, scroll) of Esther, which tells how the Jewish heroine foiled Haman's plot to kill the Jews of ancient Persia.
Divided by Faith David J. Davis, Imaginative Conservative. "Where modern tolerance does not permit any rival to the authority of rationalism and secular humanism, pre-Enlightenment Europe was establishing policies that permitted worldviews which its rulers saw as heretical."
The Munich Files Gunther Latsch, Klaus Wiegrefe, Spiegel. Files just released on the PLO massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics show that the terrorists received assistance from German neo-Nazis—who were let off virtually scot-free.
S/Z Benjamin Ivry, Forward. Was Stefan Zweig's habit of sending each of his new books to Sigmund Freud an amicable gesture or an invitation to diagnose and cure?
Anti-Semitism without Jews Ben Cohen, Tablet. A prominent challenger to Venezuela's Hugo Chávez isn't Jewish, but his roots are—reason enough for the regime to launch a smear campaign.
The "Eikhah Problem" Dara Horn, ELI talks. Why do Jews persist in believing that anti-Semitism is their own fault? (Video)
Intellectual Guilt Jonathan S. Tobin, Contentions. The spate of attacks on French Jews since the Toulouse massacre flows from not just the anti-Semitism of Arab leaders but its legitimation by the European intelligentsia.
Jews of Yemen, Get Out! Lyn Julius, Times of Israel. The few dozen Jews who remain in Yemen—many incentivized against aliyah by the Satmar movement—insist that Jewish life is good in Tzanaa despite a death toll attesting to the contrary.
Sacha Baron Cohen Never Forgets Steve Sailer, Taki's. The comedian's four main characters have been parodies of present or past foes of the Jews. At this rate, he might even get around to making a movie mocking the Amalekites.
The Spirit is Unwilling Mary Pilon, New York Times. Why won't the president of the International Olympic Committee allow for a moment of silence, in "the Olympic spirit," on the tragic anniversary of the 1972 murder of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches?
The Reality of Race Jon Entine, Forward. Historical analysis now depends not only on pottery shards, flaking manuscripts, and faded coins, but on something far less ambiguous: DNA. And the study of Jewish DNA yields some surprising findings.


On Tuesday we went in to the local vet's office for blood work, which revealed that his bilirubin levels have come down further (originally "off the charts"–over 35–they had fallen to 16 after surgery and 6 on the day he was released), but still aren't at normal levels. His eyes and skin are sill a little yellow, but nothing like they were. And he just seems happier; he certainly enjoyed all the attention he got from the vet and the technicians, who called him their "miracle dog"–reinforcing for me just how close he came to dying.
>Great news. I had lunch with Ray Morrison, and he said you two had been chatting. I think he would agree with the Miracle Dog sentiment.
>Oh, I am SO glad your pup is on the mend! Reading your posts (this one as well as the initial one) brought tears to my eyes. I know that jaundice look only too well. I lost my cat 6 months ago when his liver failed. He was only 6 and his death was devastating. He was fading fast as we rushed him to the emergency clinic where he died in my arms.
>So glad to hear of Bhikku's miraculous recovery, Cliff. He's much too sweet and young to die, and if you're anything like me, you need him!


2014 NARI "PARADE OF REMODELING" Sunday June 1st – Time 2 Remodel, LLC.
The 2014 NARI "Parade of Remodeling" was the first Sunday in June. We had 2 locations in the parade this year, and had fun with both.
The 1st location was a kitchen remodel in a 1950's ranch where we removed a wall and opened it up to the living area. New white shaker cabinets, Zodiaq quartz counter-tops, and expanded oak floors made a great change to the space. It feels spacious and the floor plan flows with a modern family!
The 2nd location was opening up a 1970's kitchen to the formal dining room for entertaining. The frameless cherry cabinets and hand selected granite counter-tops blended beautifully with the natural wood tones of the home. Several walls were removed to allow entertaining to effortlessly flow from one room to the other. The best part was that the architectural character of the existing home now shines thru in the remodeled spaces!
We had almost 200 guests go thru each site. It was fun to share the details of both remodels with each of them.

Q: A model which belongs to more than one other model simultaneously With the following associations:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  has_many :comments
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  has_many :comments
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :post
end

I can do something like this in the controller:
@comment = current_user.comments.new(comment_params)
@comment.user

But to access the associated Post I need to manually set it's parent:
@comment.post = Post.find params[:post_id]

Is there a better way for doing this, when a new Comment is created?

A: I would use nested resources
resources :posts do
  resources :comments
end

Then I would build the comment through the post and merge in the current user's id so that you don't need hidden fields which can then obviously be manipulated.
class CommentsController
  def new
    @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
    @comment = @post.comments.new
  end

  def create
    @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
    @comment = @post.comments.new(comment_params)
  end

  private

  def comment_params
    params.require(:comment).permit(:content).merge({ user_id: current_user.id })
  end

end

You'd only really need to merge the current user on creating the comment so you could have a private comment_creation_params method that gets called on create
def comment_params
  params.require(:comment).permit(:content)
end

def comment_creation_params
  comment_params.merge({ user_id: current_user.id })
end

A: So, the main idea just to get rid of Post.find(params[:post_id]).
If I were you I would insert post_id in comment_params explicitly:
def comment_params
  params.require(:comment).permit(:text).merge(post_id: params[:post_id])
end

Just to ensure that post exists I would add validation to comment:
class Comment
  validates :post, presence: true
  #...
end

If you don't want to associate a comment with a post you may just skip this validation or write a custom one
validate do
  errors.add(:post_id, 'There is no post') unless Post.find(post_id).present?
end

One of the answers suggests solution with nested resources, which is another workaround.

A: If you wanted the comments object to be assoicated to either or, then a polymorphic association would work.
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#polymorphic-associations
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  has_many :comments, as: :commentable
end

class Posts < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  has_many :comments, as: :commentable
end

You'll not be able to use @comment.post, but you will be able to do @comment.commentable which will either be your Post or User object depending on which one is associated to that instance.

The Only Way is Gin: Essex's first gin school given the go ahead to open in Chelmsford
There will be a bar and retail story on the ground floor, and a school on the first floor where people can make the spirit themselves
Hannah BrownMultimedia Journalist
The gin school will be at 13 Moulsham Street
Essex's first gin school is to open in Chelmsford, offering people the chance to make their own bespoke bottle of gin.
Chelmsford City Council approved a planning application from The Only Way Is Gin Ltd to open the gin school in 13 Moulsham Street.
The site was previously Pause cafe and before that a Dunkin' Donuts.
The ground floor of the building is planned to be used as a bar and shop, with the gin school located on the first floor of the 19th century building.

If you're looking for a way to stay up to date with the latest breaking news from around Essex, the EssexLive newsletter is a good place to start.
The daily update will deliver the top news and features to your inbox every evening.
It's one of the many ways that you can read the news that matters to you from EssexLive.
At the school, people will be able to make their own bespoke bottle of gin, while learning about the history of the spirit.
In the design and access statement prepared on the applicant's behalf, it said: "The Only Way Is Gin Ltd has been founded by Nikki Mendes to bring a new gin experience to the vibrant city of Chelmsford.
"The Only Way Is Gin brand will bring to the market a range of boutique craft gins, with botanicals celebrating its home county and landscape.
"The High Street now needs more than shops to entice people to visit, it needs experiences.
"Millennials ignited the 'experience economy' and it is now booming with all age groups.
"The Only Way Is Gin Ltd is not just a bar [and] shop, it is a gin destination."
A licensing application at the venue was granted in May, despite objections from a neighbouring mosque concerned that worshippers would see an increase in Islamophobic comments from revellers leaving the building.
But the licensing committee heard that the Licensing Act was not concerned with religious or moral aspects.
Matt Bell, the agent for The Only Way is Gin, said that the bar was keen to be a good neighbour to the mosque and would work to minimise the amount of noise emanating from the premises or activities outside.

2019 Giro d'Italia: Simon Gerrans, GCN Team & Brad Wiggans Join Eurosport Giro Coverage
By Nat Bromhead | 9 May 2019
Eurosport will guarantee Australian cycling fans have every moment and kilometre covered at this year's Giro d'Italia thanks to an unrivalled 360-degree editorial offer with some of the sport's biggest names joining the broadcast team.
2017 Giro winner Tom Dumoulin. Image: Giro d'Italia.
The first Grand Tour of 2019 will be the first that Eurosport and the Global Cycling Network (GCN) have worked in collaboration at a live event since Discovery took a majority stake in the company in January.
Viewers won't miss a minute of the action in the race for the maglia rosa, with over 80 hours of coverage – from live cycling to post-race analysis – reaffirming Eurosport as the 'Home of Cycling' in Australia.
New for this year:
Eurosport and the GCN crew are collaborating to create brilliant content for cycling fans across Australia and the world
Behind-the-scenes access to some of the best teams competing in this year's Giro
60 Second Pro short-form series starring some of the biggest names in the sport
Eurosport's coverage will feature some of the best and biggest names in the sport including Bradley Wiggins who will be contributing his expert opinion to the Giro coverage.
"I am excited to be working for Eurosport at the Giro," said Wiggins. "Eurosport is the go-to destination for the best races throughout the season and I am looking forward to giving my own, unfiltered views during the Giro."
So far as favourites go, Wiggo said "at this year's race, with the three ITT, you think that would favour Tom Dumoulin."
"You obviously have Egal Bernal as well who is fresh on the back of his Paris-Nice victory – he is an immense talent who I am sure will win the Giro one day. It's going to be a fantastic race and it's probably the best race to watch of them all. I'll go for Simon Yates, with Bernal as the dark horse," the 2012 TDF victor continued.
Australian pro cyclist Simon Gerrans, who called time on his successful 15-year professional career at the end of 2018, will also feature in Eurosport's line-up of experts for the coverage; with popular GCN presenters Dan Lloyd and Simon Richardson contributing too.
In addition to ad-break free live stages, Eurosport's coverage of the Giro d'Italia will include Giro Extra – to re-cap the best of the day's action, along with 60 Seconds Pro – a short-form feature series breaking down key elements of the sport - featuring cycling luminaries Tom Dumoulin, Simon Yates and Matteo Trentin.
Giving fans an idea of the travails encountered by professional cyclists competing in Italy, Juan Antonio Flecha will once again offer his own insights throughout the coverage.
The 102nd edition of the Giro d'Italia promises a balanced but testing route that includes three individual time trials and five mountain finishes. The Corsa Rosa will start with an 8.2km individual time trial in Bologna May 11, featuring the tough Santuario della Madonna di San Luca climb. The winner will be crowned in Verona after a 15.6km time trial stage.
Eurosport will screen the first Grand Tour of the season LIVE to 89 markets and territories across Europe, mainland Asia, Australia and other Asia-Pacific regions. Last year, the Eurosport Australia recorded its best-ever Giro d'Italia audience.
Broadcast details for key dates:
Opening stage: Bologna-San Luca Sunday 12 May LIVE from 12:40am (AEST) on Eurosport
Final Mountain Stage: Feltre-Croce d'Aune-Monte Avena Saturday 1 June LIVE from 9pm (AEST)
Final Stage: Verona-Verona Sunday 2 June LIVE from 9.30pm (AEST)

core.resources.dll is one that VS2013 creates from a resource file - I didn't create it and have not tried to control it.
I'm using powershell scripts to control the build, to enable teamcity and git to handle some of the work, but i can also run the scripts locally in a powershell terminal.
The build succeeds and relevant .pdb files are created alongside the .dll files, then I'm using DotCover (2.7.2) to run the tests and analyse the results.
Can anyone tell me how I might persuade dotcover and xunit to work properly on my solution?
Bonus credit for anyone who can explain why the auto-generated project dll gets covered but my code doesn't.
It seems to me that the problem may consist in the filters that you have specified: string "-:Test.core;+:class=core*" means that your report will include only classes with fully qualified names starting with "core" prefix and won't include any classes from "Test.core" assembly. Could you please try to repeat coverage analysis without filters and tell me whether it helps or not?
You're correct. My filters were interfering.
I guess I had not understood the required filter syntax to make sure my dlls were covered while safely ignoring the auto-generated and third party dlls.


That immensely epizootic term is familiar in secondary children. Determine how to recognize and touch on impetigo.
(Q) My kids keep both had impetigo, many times shouted educational institution sores, but unified was aerated with unprejudiced pomatum whereas the otherwise unified was affirmed verbal antibiotics. Container you make clear how you hold impetigo, how it should be managed and when you demand verbal antibiotics to some extent than unprejudiced an embrocation? (A) Impetigo is a epidermis transmission caused next to the bacterium Cocci and Eubacterium. It is commonplace in kids, singularly those of pre-school and grammar discretion, which is reason it is usually famed as "high school sores". Impetigo is unusually everyday in not uncomfortable, clammy environments and incident tends to arise result of seal friend, specified as in concert or seance approximate, and and in connection exercises specified as rugger and tussle.
It is immensely epidemic as it container be distribute not solely on account of skin-to-skin acquaintance but along with on occasion from connection with article grazed alongside the putrid living soul's sores, much as towels or toys. The adjacency of breaks in the integument – much as cuts, ectoparasite bites, eruption or compromised hide uprightness approximately the nostrils from a water nozzle – tends to augment the risk. Typically at hand strength be ruddiness, or blisters that blackleg upward of with a characteristically honey-colored covering. Off the lesions possibly will be completely wrong on the side of herpes sores, eruption or separate derma situation. In few cases the stretch may possibly clasp a clean, which containerful be propel to a region to settle the definite being interested and thereby its antineoplastic sensitivities, but ordinarily the pronouncement is total on the infrastructure of the adulterate's chart estimate of the lesions and discourse drive be agreed in compliance. Championing calm, decentralized impetigo, the medico would in all likelihood set forward purifying lightly with brackish and an bactericidal unravelling, subsequently applying a medicament antibacterial embrocation a number of period a daylight. In the service of author wide or austere transmission, articulated antibiotics strength be essential. About cases counter in a infrequent years, and scarring should not chance.

One: Longboarding is a great way to get around!
Longboarding has always been seen as a sport or hobby- it's a way for people to have fun and enjoy themselves, get an adrenaline rush or improve their skills in their free time. In that sense, it's never really been seen as something that's practical for general day to day living. Usually, when someone picks up a longboard, their entire purpose is to push themselves out of their comfort zone and start a new hobby while getting some exercise; for many, it's the next step in introducing excitement and adrenaline to their potentially boring lives.
However, what many have come to discover is that longboarding is a prime way to commute around town in an efficient, comfortable way with the right setup. To start, longboarding is, with practice, surprisingly quick. As an efficient pusher, one can travel at running speeds, comfortably rivaling the cycles on the road and sharing cycle lanes. Longboards are also incredibly maneuverable, even more so than bikes and rollerblades- because they can be so small, they're able to stop in breakneck times and accelerate back even faster. They can make tight corners, jump curbs, weave in and out of people and ride more uneven pavements and sidewalks than bikes can.
Personal anecdote- most of my longboard riding has been done while commuting. It's a great routine to have on the daily; getting ready in the morning, hopping on my favorite commuter setup and beginning my morning with a ride down my local hill. The rest of the push is easy, energizing and motivating for my day. It's a great way to get your daily exercise, and forcing yourself to ride and push in the morning wakes you up better than any cup of coffee.
Two: Longboarding exists beyond just cruising.
Like I said before, many people begin longboarding to give themselves a challenge. Most people get good at cruising around boardwalks and skating their city sidewalks and neighborhoods and stagnate their skills there- they don't feel that there's any further to progress, both skill-wise and setup wise. Most new longboarders also buy simple, untuned completes for their first setups, not knowing that in the future, there's much playing around to be done with new parts, Longboard wheels, and whole new Longboard decks. Board setups may start at 200 dollars, but prices have no ceiling, and the more skilled you get, the more expensive and awesome your setup will be. Longboarding beyond cruising splits into two categories: freestyle/dancing, and downhill/freeride.
Freestyle and dancing involves longer, more nimble boards with kicktails. You use these kicktails to bust out flip tricks- tricks where you make the board fly into the air, do a variety of flips, and then land back on it in another variety of ways. As general as this sounds, people have made hundreds of longboard trick combinations that you can learn and chain together for impressive, flashy skill points.
Downhill and freeride are the gnarlier sides of longboarding- traveling at speeds higher than 60 kilometers an hour, speeding down a downhill track busting out sideways slides and drifting corners. This style of riding takes a massive amount of certainly draining practice, along with a large serving of guts and a hunger for adrenaline. It isn't for everyone, but it's definitely one of the most respectable things to do.
Three: Longboarding can be competitive!
Longboarding has been seen as a loved pastime for a very long time, but little did you know, there are large-scale competitions that happen in both freestyle/dancing and downhill/freeride! If you get really into either discipline of riding, there are both local and international events for you to go to and exhibit your developed skills. You might win anything from small to large prize pots to wheels and extra parts for your longboards. Events are usually sponsored by companies and attended by many of the bigger names in the community. Even if you can't skate very well, it's always a great experience to go, as you are able to do some networking, meet interesting people and see some awesome skateboarding!
In terms of freestyle and dancing, there are a few international competitions around the world, such as So You Think You Can Longboard Dance, and the Paris Annual Dock Session. In these events, you bust out cool lines and tricks, and judges from all different skate teams judge you based on style, consistency and creativity.
For downhill and freeride, there are a variety of races and slide events. The easiest to host and probably most common are slide jams, where many skaters gather with their slidey wheels and try to do the most stylish trick, or slide the longest. You should have a very large and versatile quiver of slides if you wish to do well in these events. Other events are races, where you race down fast hills to beat all the others in a heat system. These may take slides or not, but rider skill is definitely something to have. There are other things, like freerides and product demonstrations, which are run by companies to celebrate the launch of a new product.
Four: Longboarding is an enjoyable niche to earn money in.
Longboarding and skateboarding are some of the two most customer to business friendly niches there are. With every step of the way, both workers in the industry and riders socialize and are friendly in their exchanges. Because of this, finding a job in the industry, whether it be at a skate shop or at a board manufacturer, is one of the greatest decisions you could make in your young life (if you are a teenager). Starting a board company is also a viable option for older folks, as the longboarding scene is still fast growing and it is far from stalling.
At a job in the industry, you will find good wages and friendly interactions with customers. With your large base in knowledge, you will help someone who wants to get into the sport, daily. They may ask for help about a setup, and you will have an answer- and let me tell you, it's an extremely satisfying feeling, and thus it's something I urge all longboarders to look into.
Five: The Longboarding scene is one of the friendliest communities around.
It's been a rumor that the skateboard community is a very unfriendly neighborhood to hang around- how everyone drinks a lot and every skateboarder you see is bound to be a degenerate. And you know what? That is all lies- and I will prove it with a personal anecdote.
When I first started skating, I started learning alone- on a local neighborhood street with a very slight incline, and I'll be honest, it was a lonely but enjoyable time. However, I didn't improve much, seeing that I can't teach myself if I have virtually no knowledge on something- so I joined my city's longboarding club group on social platforms, and I met some people who invited me to a night skate on a Saturday. I was intimidated; I thought I needed to have some kind of basic skill in order to impress those who had invited me- but they insisted that they don't need to see anything, that they just want me to follow along and have some fun. That ended up being one of the greatest nights of my life- socializing and talking to fellow skaters who were in it with me to get me to be a better skateboarder.
And the truth is, the rest of the longboarding community is the same. If you skate alone, don't. Find a community near you and it will become part of who you are.
Last Friday myself and a You-Tuber called Ollie headed out for a skate on our Magneto electric skateboards.
What an awesome way to see London at such an amazing time of year, although the day did not start well!
Poor Ollies board got run over by a car at the very start of the day!
Literally at the very start of the day! So it kind of made the day less fun for Ollie! We're sending him new parts to get his Magneto Electric Longboard V1 repaired!
Having said that, the sun was out, the weather relatively warm and just riding around London or any city on an electric skateboard is a liberating experience. Such an amazing way to take in the sights, the smells, the sounds. Of course, the main benefit being you can just pull up anytime and walk into any shop or Cafe' with your board in tow.
We took an Amazing route for anyone who is interested.
We rode from the Tate gallery area, up past Big Ben then cut into St James Park to Hyde Park corner then through Hyde Park and finally finishing off around Covent Gardens!
Ollie was on great form and recorded the entire Skate albeit I'm sure he was tired pushing! Check out the video below.
That's about it! But here at Magneto, we would Love to hear your favorite skate routes and rides! Post below and share if liked this!
Peace and Love to all and of course, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Steven P. Treon, MD, PhD: In this particular case, the patient then relapses 2 years later. Now we're dealing with a patient who has a rising IgM [immunoglobulin M] level. His lymph nodes are no longer bulky. And so, this case has actually changed. When the patient now comes back to us, we no longer are dealing with an oncologic emergency. Now we have other options that we can consider in the care of this patient. What we would not want to do is add in alkylating agents because we don't want to potentiate any damage to his stem cells. So this is really where we have some time to think about what's best for this patient and to manage him with other treatment options.
In the second-line setting, where this patient does not need emergent therapy, we would still be mindful of using a proteasome inhibitor, potentially. I think the fact that he still has adenopathy might sway me against that. Ordinarily, proteasome inhibitors are really good at cleaning out disease in the marrow but are not so good at dealing with extramedullary disease.
I would avoid using alkylating agents in this particular case. I would also avoid a nucleoside analogue because, again, if he's young, we don't want to put him at risk for secondary malignancies or myelodysplasia. This is a particular patient who I would actually get very excited about using ibrutinib in at this point in time. We know he has the MYD88 mutation. We also know that he has the CXCR4 mutation, but we're no longer dealing with imminent disease control that would be required. One has to understand that if one has a CXCR4 mutation, you have to set expectations. You know this is not somebody who's going to respond overnight to a drug like ibrutinib. It may take a while. That's why it's important for clinicians to know about the mutation status of an individual. Then you can set expectations. You won't panic after a couple of months if you are not seeing a major response, understanding that it may take time in somebody who has a CXCR4 mutation.
The fact that the patient did well for 2 years would also suggest to me to use ibrutinib along with rituximab in this particular case. One could certainly use ibrutinib alone, but since the patient did have benefit with the 2 drugs together—the bendamustine and rituximab up front—I think it would be very reasonable to use both drugs together. We know from the iNNOVATE study that the patients who got ibrutinib and rituximab together showed improvement over rituximab alone. For somebody who has a CXCR4 mutation, I think the combination would be reasonable.


It was primed with Vallejo Surface Primer Grey then given an base coat of VMA Hull Red with an airbrush. I then added spots of VMA Rust and VMA Italian Red, also with an airbrush. I sponged on some GW Blazing Orange and VMA Camo Black Brown. To bring shift colors closer to an oxide rust and to kill the intensity of the orange chips, I used Vallejo Model Wash Rust sprayed through the airbrush as a filter. After everything was dried, I sealed the paint with a couple of coats of Liquitex Matte Varnish. When the varnish was dried, I applied three coats of Heavy Chipping Fluid from AK Interactive. If works similar the tried-and-true "hairspray technique" that AFV modelers have been using for years, with the benefit of not smelling like hairspray. After the chipping fluid was dry, I proceeded to work on the green using my normal method for Raptors, which is RMS Olive Shadow, RMS Olive Drab, and RMS Worn Olive for the shadow, base color, and highlight respectively. When that was completed, I got down to the chipping. Using and old brush, clean water, and a modeling tool, I went to town on the weathering. Using the brush with clean water, you lightly humidify the top coat of paint so that the water seeps down to the chipping fluid. After a couple seconds, you can use the brush (or a toothpick or modeling tool) to scrape away the top layers of paint, exposing the "rust" layer below. After everything was dry, I sealed the entire piece with a couple of coats of matte varnish.
Here is a Devastator Centurion from the Raptors space marine chapter and is my first completed miniature in almost a year. I tried some OSL (which is something I don't typically do) on the grav cannon and while I'm not completely sold on it, I think it looks passable. I'm not overly fond of the base either, but I think it will do for now. I have started working on a Land Raider Crusader that these fellas can ride around in.
I am in the process of renovating my basement where my hobby desk is but I had a friend of mine ask me what my setup looked like now. Right now, all those boxes are stacked on a mini-fridge but I am trying to come up with a more elegant solution to the storage of all these boxes. I will most likely move the mini-fridge into the garage and place an album storage shelf were the fridge is now. I am flirting with the idea of putting all of those boxes in my mechanical closet that is also in the basement but I am yet undecided. After the renovation, which will see my hobby "room" turned into an actual room because I am adding a wall and a door in the hallway leading the room, I would like to replace that black shelving unit with a lighted glass display case that can store my completed models and my football memorabilia.

PUBLISHED: August 23, 2001 at 10:33 a.m. | UPDATED: July 16, 2021 at 5:22 a.m.
Whoever said number seven is the luckiest number doesn't know Linda Lasmanis.
For Lasmanis, 12 seemed to be luckier Wednesday night when she slid the winning key – the 12th of 20 – into the Lake County YMCA Dream House's keyhole.
"I, I was just in shock," said Lasmanis, still shaking from the excitement. "I said my prayers – The Our Father – and it opened. I just couldn't believe it, then everybody started screaming and it sunk in."
Lasmanis and her husband Mark, Eastlake residents, said they don't normally enter the giveaway, but they thought they would try their luck at it this year and, apparently, one ticket was all it took.
"Three years ago I bought two tickets," Linda said, "but this year I only bought one."
Hambden Township resident Laura Diemer, who held the number one key, thought she might have better odds this year. An eight-year giveaway entrant, Diemer bought three tickets. She said this was her first year as a finalist.
"I usually buy two," Diemer said. "I'm dying to know which one got me to the finalists' round. I'll die if it was the third one!"
Tensions ran high throughout the evening for everyone.
"If it (my key) doesn't work, can I kick the door in?" heckled Dora Estrela from Mentor, the number three finalist.
Most finalists admitted to not sleeping much in the past few days, as they were notified on Sunday.
"I haven't slept in three days," Linda Lasmanis admitted.
This year's Dream House, located at 6709 Deer Haven Drive, is a 3,100-square-foot, custom-built, environmentally friendly structure. It is part of the Ellison Creek Development in Concord Township – a "conservation subdivision."
According to Ellison Creek Ltd., the subdivision's developer, the neighborhood is bordered by 85 acres of community conservation area earmarked as preserved green space.
Peggy Swanger, director of development for the Lake County YMCA, said the house is valued in the $350,000 neighborhood.
"It costs a significant amount to build a dream house," Swanger said.
Swanger said about 45,000 people toured the house between May, when it opened to the public, and Aug. 5, when the YMCA stopped counting.
Swanger said although the count has not been finalized yet, she estimates the project raised more than $200,000. She said the money goes toward enhancements and expansions to the various YMCA branches. She said it's like a "mini capital campaign."
As for the Lasmanises, they said they are not certain whether they will keep the house or sell it


But you are the best Mom wide world over.

Researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine found Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites with a mutation to the gene Ap2mu were less sensitive to the antimalarial drug artemisinin.
A study in 2013, also led by the School, suggested an initial link between a mutation in the ap2mu gene and low levels of malaria parasites remaining in the blood of Kenyan children after they had been treated. However, further research was needed to confirm if these genetic characteristics represented an early step towards resistance.
In the new study, researchers genetically altered the malaria parasite in the laboratory to mutate ap2mu in the same way that had been observed in Kenya. They found the altered parasite was significantly less susceptible, requiring 32% more drug to be killed by artemisinin. The genetically altered parasite was also 42.4% less susceptible to the traditional antimalarial drug, quinine.
Earlier this year a different research group discovered mutations in the gene kelch13 which were linked to reduced susceptibility to artemisinin combination treatment in South East Asia. Historically, resistance to antimalarial medicines has emerged in South East Asia and then spread to Africa. But these new findings suggest a different route to drug resistance may be developing independently in Africa.
Lead researcher Dr Colin Sutherland, Reader in Parasitology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: "Our findings could be a sign of much worse things to come for malaria in Africa. The malaria parasite is constantly evolving to evade our control efforts. We've already moved away from using quinine to treat cases as the malaria parasite has become more resistant to it, but if further drug resistance were to develop against our most valuable malaria drug, artemisinin, we would be facing a grave situation.
The World Health Organization estimates more than half a million people die from malaria every year, mostly children under five. Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly form of the malaria parasite.

Advancing the Ball: Race, Reformation, and the Quest for Equal Coaching Opportunity in the NFL
N. Jeremi Duru (Autor) Tony Dungy (Autor)
Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's two opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American-a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself.
As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League. Since the league's desegregation in 1946, opportunities had grown plentiful for African Americans as players but not as head coaches-the byproduct of the NFL's old-boy network and lingering stereotypes of blacks' intellectual inferiority. Although Major League Baseball and the NBA had, over the years, made progress in this regard, the NFL's head coaches were almost exclusively white up until the mid-1990s.
Advancing the Ball chronicles the campaign of former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman John Wooten to right this wrong and undo decades of discriminatory head coach hiring practices-an initiative that finally bore fruit when he joined forces with attorneys Cyrus Mehri and Johnnie Cochran. Together with a few allies, the triumvirate galvanized the NFL's African American assistant coaches to stand together for equal opportunity and convinced the league to enact the "Rooney Rule," which stipulates that every team must interview at least one minority candidate when searching for a new head coach. In doing so, they spurred a movement that would substantially impact the NFL and, potentially, the nation.
Featuring an impassioned foreword by Coach Tony Dungy, Advancing the Ball offers an eye-opening, first-hand look at how a few committed individuals initiated a sea change in America's most popular sport and added an extraordinary new chapter to the civil rights story.

Journalist Vladimir Kovačević: It was a classic fight to preserve my head, I did not even get to feel the fear
Tuesday March 5th, 2019 Tuesday March 5th, 2019 BHJAMain
Nezavisne novine
BANJA LUKA, 21.02.2019.- Journalist of BN TV Vladimir Кovačević said today, at the beginning of the trial before the Banja Luka District Court, that during the attack on him on the 26th of August last year, he though the attackers will murder him.
The trial for one of the attackers – Marko Čolić (37) started today, while the second-accused in this criminal offence Nedeljko Dukić in in the run. An international warrant after him was issued.
Murder attempt
In the courtroom Kovačević told that before he was attacked in front of the building he lives in, he spotted two persons, with hoods on their heads, but their face was visible when they started moving towards him.
– It was not until I heard the sound of striping the sticks, I realized what was happening. But then it was already too late – Kovacevic said.They hit him, he says, and while he was still on his feet, only in the head. During the attack, he tried to partially defend himself, and he did not, he said, even get to "feel" the fear, reports Fena.
– I just thought 'what's going on, they'll kill me.' It was a classic fight to save my head. I started screaming … I felt the blood. They entered the car. I tried to see the plates, but I do not succeed because my glasses fell, "Kovačević said.
He added his ear was almost broken, as well as that his head was sewed hospital on several spots, and that he still had headaches that he had not previously had.
Čolić was identified in the police, while the motive of the attack is not yet known.
The indictment alleges that Kovacevic was attacked on August 26 at around 20.40 in front of his building in Banja Luka.
Specialist for forensic medicine Milan Srdić confirmed that Kovačević had suffered a severe injury of the forearm of the brain tissue, as well as several other minor injuries on the body.
– He got at least four strokes in his head and three on the body, with a strong swing of arm in which the subject matter was – said Srdic.
Expert Zoran Obradovic, head of the DNA laboratory at the Institute of Forensic Medicine Banja Luka, spoke about the DNA traces found at the site of the event.
Čolic's trail was found, on the stick handle, and he underlined that, there is no possibility that Colic was never in contact with the object, and that his trail was transmitted by someone there.
The judges warned Colic's attorney Gordan Jovicevic, on several occasions for the way he talks to the witnesses and to the judges.
Jovišević and Čolić today requested his custody to be abolished and that he continues to defend himself from outside.
Čolić emphasized he spent several months in the Custody Institute Tunjice.
– I buried both father and mother while in custody. I didn't cause any problems. I do not feel psychic good. I don't sleep – said Čolić, who was ever warned by the President of the Judicial Council Branimir Jukić at one point "not to smile" while Kovačević testified, on what he answered saying that he was "constantly in good mood".
The Prosecutors objected to the request for termination of custody, and the Trial Chamber will make the decision on custody subsequently.

Four days after a group of NFL owners met with a group of players to discuss protests during the national anthem , Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett and at least nine of his Seattle teammates sat or kneeled on the sideline during the anthem before the Seahawks' 24-7 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadum on Sunday.
Schatz: With all the parity in the league, the Chargers are absolutely in the wild-card race at 3-4. They have a strong pass rush, and the passing game has improved since the decision to let Hunter Henry take over for Antonio Gates. Three of the Chargers' four losses came by a field goal or less. The Dolphins have the better record at 4-2, but notice that all of their wins have come by less than a touchdown, while their two losses were significant. They also have one of the five toughest remaining schedules in the league, according to average DVOA of opponent. Miami will come back to earth.
The Jaguars sacked Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett 10 times in a 27-0 victory in Indianapolis. It was the first shutout recorded by the Jaguars since 2006.
The Rams also had their way with the Cardinals offense, knocking quarterback Carson Palmer out of the game and holding the Cardinals to 193 yards of total offense in a 33-0 victory.
The Chiefs can't lose three in a row, can they? FPI doesn't think so, giving the Chiefs a 77 percent chance to win, but that also means a 23 percent chance to lose, or roughly 1-in-4.
The Chiefs' defense has been its Achilles' heel for most of the season and has Wholesale Jerseys given up a league-worst minus-32 expected points added (that's bad) over the past two weeks, by far the worst in the league (San Francisco and Indianapolis are both at -25). Kansas City will face a similarly struggling unit in the Broncos' offense, which has accrued minus-31 expected points Wholesale NFL Jerseys China added as a unit over its past two games.
Last year, under Kyle Shanahan, the Falcons led the league with 33.8 points per game and were top five in the NFL in passing yards per game (295.3). They were also top five in limiting turnovers per game (0.7). This season, under Steve Sarkisian, the Falcons' offensive numbers are down across the board, earning 21.3 points per game, 252.0 passing yards per game and 1.2 giveaways per game (1.2).
The good news for Siemian? The season isn't even half over, with plenty of time to rewrite the narrative. The bad? Denver faces a balanced and proven Chiefs team on Monday night before embarking on a vicious slate of games against the Eagles, Patriots, Bengals and Raiders.
The latest 31-page memorandum stems from Johnson's attempt to have his 10-game PED suspension from last season overturned retroactively, which would entitle him to collect lost salary as well as have guarantees reinstated in the five-year, $56 million contract he signed in 2016.
The players union and NFL responded separately to have Johnson's claim dismissed without prejudice. The latest filings from all three parties came Wednesday in the U.S. District Court of Southern New York.
Johnson's suspension was his second in four NFL seasons with the Eagles. Johnson, though, claimed this positive test stemmed from ingesting an NFLPA-approved Vancouver Canucks Cheap Jerseys supplement Texas Rangers Cheap Jerseys that contained a prohibited substance under the league's drug-testing policy.

At least 10 people were injured on Friday in a car bomb blast outside a restaurant in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, hours after seven people were killed by a suicide bomber near a strategic air force complex in Punjab province.
Witnesses said the blast occurred soon after a man parked a car outside a restaurant in Hayatabad on the outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of the North West Frontier Province.
The man, who had long hair, fled immediately after parking the car. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals and the condition of one of them was described as serious, reports said. They said the restaurant targeted in the attack belonged to the son of a senior leader of the Awami National Party, which is in power in the NWFP, and is part of the ruling coalition at the centre.
The walls and windows of the restaurant were shattered by the blast. The police fired in the air after the explosion to disperse people and launched a search for the attacker.
Earlier today morning, seven persons, including two security personnel, were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a check-post outside the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex at Kamra in Punjab province.
Pakistan has witnessed a wave of deadly bombings and suicide attacks over the past two weeks that has been blamed on the Taliban. Most of the attacks have targeted security facilities, including the army's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi.
