ASIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ENDORSE BARVE
Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus PAC
Hopes to Add Barve to Its Membership
Rockville, MD, October 12, 2015 - Leading Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Members of Congress have endorsed Delegate Kumar Barve in his campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland's 8th Congressional District.
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Leadership PAC (CAPAC Leadership PAC) recognized Barve as an historical AAPI leader and the candidate best suited to advance the values important to the AAPI community. Barve, the first Indian American to be elected to a state legislature in American history, would be the first Asian American elected to Congress from Maryland.
"Kumar Barve would be a great addition to the U.S. House of Representatives. He has a long record of leadership in promoting and protecting the civic and political rights of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities," said Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), Chair CAPAC Leadership PAC. "AAPIs are 6 percent of the U.S. population, but only 2.6 percent of the Congress. We need more AAPI lawmakers in Congress like Delegate Barve, who have the long-standing experience to lead."
"I am honored by the support of this group of national AAPI leaders in Congress. I look forward to working with them on issues of importance to the AAPI community and to engaging AAPI citizens in Maryland throughout this campaign." said Barve. Since his historical election in 1990, Barve has worked to increase the participation of the AAPI community in the civic and political life of their communities.
AAPIs, comprising about 8-9% of the population, represent a growing and increasingly active community within the 8th District of Maryland. Barve was also recently endorsed by the Asian American Action Fund, a progressive political organization that works to help elect AAPI Democratic candidates who have a demonstrated commitment to the community and engaging Asian Pacific Americans in the political process.

Open Market Review - Superfast and Gigabit Broadband Infrastructure in Scotland - Request for Information
The Scottish Government is developing a procurement approach for funding contracts to suppliers delivering gigabit-capable wholesale infrastructure in Scotland. This Open Market Review will be used to produce a draft intervention area that may be targeted for public intervention.
Introduction and Background
The Scottish Government last issued an Open Market Review (OMR) of broadband infrastructure in December 2016. The purpose was to help us define an intervention area for investment of public funds into Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband infrastructure in support of our 100% superfast broadband commitment, via the Reaching 100% Programme (R100). Since confirming the intervention area via a State Aid Public Consultation in July 2017 and further checking eligibility via a State Aid Public Consultation in December 2020, we have been operating a rolling OMR with NGA suppliers in order to take account of the latest commercial plans. This has been invaluable for the on-going delivery of the R100 Programme.
In March 2021, the UK Government announced an ambition to deliver nationwide gigabit-capable broadband as soon as possible, recognising that there is a need for government intervention in the parts of the country that are not commercially viable. They have committed a total of £5bn to ensure that all areas of the UK can benefit. This will be spent through a package of coordinated and mutually supportive interventions, collectively known as Project Gigabit, with an initial intervention of £1.2bn targeting at least 85% gigabit coverage of the UK by 2025 and nationwide gigabit-capable broadband by 2030.
As part of Project Gigabit, the Scottish Government is working with UK Government to develop a procurement approach for funding contracts to suppliers delivering gigabit-capable wholesale infrastructure in Scotland. This procurement approach will be a successor to the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme and work in parallel with the current R100 programme.
This Open Market Review will be used to produce a draft intervention area that will inform the Scottish Government of eligible premises that may be targeted for public investment in any future intervention exercise and replaces the current NGA rolling OMR.
We invite suppliers to provide us with information about their broadband infrastructure within Scotland as detailed below. This will allow the Scottish Government to identify the areas which are currently not commercially viable and/or where no infrastructure exists or is planned to be built within the next three years (and beyond, if available).
We intend to use this data as well as that available through Ofcom's Connected Nations publication and other sources available to the Scottish Government to allow us to carry out an assessment of existing and planned broadband connectivity.
Suppliers should also include in their Annex B data submission, any existing or planned infrastructure funded in part from public subsidy, for example UK and/or Scottish Vouchers, Superfast Broadband procured in line with either the National Broadband Scheme 2012 or 2016 and any other publicly funded initiative (including Local Full Fibre Networks and Rural Gigabit Connectivity Programmes).
In this way, working with suppliers, we hope to further enhance the comprehensive dataset we already hold across Scotland from the current rolling OMR process, noting that this OMR will repeat at regular intervals in the same way as the one it replaces.

This has been in the works for quite some time but we've kept it under wraps.
As sure as I had announced it early, something would have went wrong.
That's just the way things have gone lately.
In 2007, I became a good friend of Don Davis. Don has done much for the Free Software community, either initiating or participating in several films and documentaries about Linux and Open Source.
He is also the founder of REGLUE - Recycled Electronics and Gnu/Linux Used for Education.
Don's organization had almost exactly the same mission as HeliOS. Don is now a Doctoral Candidate at Texas State University and the requirements of his studies have left him little time to do little else.
Don came to us a while back and explained that he was going to have to give up his project but it wasn't all bad news. While HeliOS worked under the non profit umbrella of Software in the Public Interest, REGLUE is formed as a registered 501(C)(3). Since he knew our ultimate goal was to register HeliOS as a non profit, and we were no where able to afford doing so...Don graciously offered to "transfer" REGLUE to us.
Of course we looked into a name change when we stepped in but it entails way too much time and effort to do so...at least for now.
Don called a meeting for REGLUE, him and his two other directors voted our guys in, then in turn resigned from REGLUE.
That left us in the driver's seat. We owe Don way more than we'd ever be able to repay him. Thank you Don.
Now, why the change? Wasn't HeliOS doing OK as it was?
On the surface, yes....we were able to do many things under the SPI umbrella but the one thing we were not able to do is probably the most important.
We couldn't qualify for grants.
See, in order to qualify for the lion's share of available grants, the actual non profit has to submit the grant proposal. Precious few allow an "umbrella" to do so in the place of subordinate organization.
Most of you know that HeliOS has struggled financially from time to time. Now that we are our own non profit entity, we are free to apply for every grant available. And trust me....we will.
And as an aside, while "Executive Director" might sound like a leadership role, it is not. The Executive Director serves at the pleasure of the President and the directorship. There's a reason I did not accept a leadership role, and I will touch on that in a bit.
The HeliOS Project will still exist for some time, but as an associate project under REGLUE. HeliOS will take care of all the educational aspects, to include holding various classes within our facility. For you that help fund us with your donations, nothing will change for quite a while. We will post here should HeliOS officially fold into REGLUE. For now, HeliOS still exists and your continued support is appreciated.
Most of you know that I am battling throat cancer. At this time, we are looking pretty good as far as prognosis goes, but then again....It was looking good the last time as well. I don't plan on going anywhere for quite some time, but then again, I am not really in control of that. These changes are a simple preparation, should I not be able to help steer this effort in the direction it needs to go.
That direction is getting as many computers into the hands of disadvantaged children as possible. I've surrounded myself with extremely good and caring people. People that care enough to carry REGLUE forward should they need to.
The very best of luck with your new venture Ken and I also wish you the best for your personal circumstances.
No matter what the name, you (and the entire Helios Team) will continue to have my support 100%.
It sounds like this is a very big and important step, and I'm glad you could see it through. May Helios (and REGLUE) continue to grow and help many hundreds of children going forward.
This is great news Ken. I feel that you and the Helios project are in good hands.
Great news, Ken. Both Reglue and your health prognosis.
The non-profit has been a long time coming. I will resume scanning the federal grants postings for you immediately.
Let me know if there is anything else you need. I have a bit of time on my hands and can handle some small projects.
Congratulations, Ken! A really big step. I look forward to continued great things from you and the Helios team.
I am writing this message thousand of miles away from US. But distances does not reduce my respect to you who together with the team have done something great to influence your community and may be the world too. Best wishes to you and speedy recovery to health.

AllSearch Grows by Two in Q1 2019 - AllSearch Professional Staffing, Inc.
(York, PA) – AllSearch Professional Staffing, Inc., headquartered in Downtown York, PA, has made their first dual hire in Q1 of 2019! To support the growing hiring needs from their clients, AllSearch leadership decided it was time to expand their Recruiting Team by two. Hannah Kuhn & Kelsie Bivona stood out among other candidates during the interview process and bring sales & recruiting experience, respectively, to the team. Hannah & Kelsie will be recruiting on a variety of sales, management, engineering and project management roles, among others.
With these two hires, AllSearch has grown to a team of 21 employees, increasing their staff size by over 400% over the past 3 years. Adding two new Recruiters will also open additional internal leadership opportunities in the latter half of 2019. AllSearch prides itself on promoting from within the current team, giving opportunities to established Recruiters that understand the business, their client's needs and the exceptional level of customer service that is expected.
Hannah Kuhn is native to the York area and has returned to her roots after attending and playing college basketball in South Carolina and then coaching college basketball in Vermont at Norwich University while achieving her Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership. During her time in Vermont, Hannah found her passion for helping others through her recruiting of athletes and then developing those individuals into successful student-athletes. She also has a strong love for music after working in the industry as an Account Executive with iHeart Media. Outside of her profession, she spends most of her time with her boyfriend John exploring new places, attending BrewFests, or being competitive in a game of poker or a fun game of disc golf while enjoying the outdoors. Hannah decided to choose a career with AllSearch to work with people all over the world and try and bring them happiness by helping them find a career they can enjoy as much as she does!
Kelsie Bivona was born and raised in York, PA. She is an alumnus of York College of Pennsylvania with a Bachelors in Sport Management and a minor in Human Resource Management. Kelsie began her recruiting career 3 years ago, recruiting IT professionals in Central PA. When she isn't at work, she can be found enjoying newlywed life with her husband, snuggling with her dog, reading an excessive number of books, or out on a softball field somewhere. She is also a big University of North Carolina men's basketball fan. From a young age Kelsie was always inspired to help others, whether it be on a personal or professional level. She chose to come to AllSearch because of the culture and opportunity to further develop her recruiting skills in a different way, and to carry out the company's mission of positively impacting lives.
Founded in 2002 by Brian P. Connors, Jason E. Connors and Michael L. Bender, AllSearch is a privately held direct hire recruiting firm.

Battling Desire Discrepancy
In terms of time allotment, sex is not a huge part of how a couple spends their time. It is barely a sliver on the pie chart, but when sex is a problem it negatively affects a disproportionately large part of the relationship. The saying is: "Sex is 10% of relationship; but when it's a problem, it becomes 90% of the relationship." Such is the case when partners differ in the amount of importance each places on sex.
Consider the fictitious married couple, Rupert and Bertha, for whom the issue of sex has become a battleground. They both recall how early in their relationship sex was the source of pleasure and how the frequency of their sexual exploits put some rabbits to shame. Rupert, who highly values sex, lamented that "those were the days." He pointed out that because he initially experienced Bertha as a highly sexual woman, he considered himself a very lucky man at having struck sexual gold. As is the case for many men, Rupert felt deeply loved and connected with Bertha through their sexual play. During the recent past, as the frequency and passion of their lovemaking dwindled, he had grown distant and resentful. He had expressed feeling ripped-off. He and Bertha had been arguing often about sex. Due to their infrequent sexual encounters, he questioned Bertha's love since it was through their lovemaking that her love for him was confirmed.
Bertha, too, claims she enjoys sex, but never placed as high a priority on it as did Rupert. In the beginning of their relationship, she took great satisfaction in helping Rupert feel pleasure. The fact that he desired her really turned her on. Sex was not something she ever really did for herself. As the relationship aged, she found that she wasn't in the mood to be sexual nearly as often as she had been in the beginning. It wasn't that she felt less eager to please Rupert, but their lives had become more routine; she was more aware of his sometimes-annoying human eccentricies and did not enjoy that the timing of Rupert's desire for a sexual encounter, which often seemed ill-timed to her moods. She also noticed that he was making less effort to get her in the mood by being what she considered romantic, through cuddling and gestures of his love. When he expressed a desire for sex she didn't particularly like telling him "no," causing her over time, to increasingly avoid those situations that gave Rupert the opportunity to initiate. When she did say no, he would act hurt and angry. She had grown to resent the pressure she felt to share herself with him sexually. True, she did feel guilty sometimes, but it seemed to be the easier choice. Sex disappeared from their marriage, as did their emotional connection.
Over time, the spouses found that they were growing apart. Repeatedly each attempt at real communication deteriorated into sarcastic allegations traded back and forth, which never arrived at a resolution or change. Both spouses felt powerless to alter the downward spiral of their marriage. Without third-party help, their marriage would have ended. They came to learn that the difference in their sexual needs can threaten their marriage if not openly discussed; that sex must be an active component and that their emotional connection functions as essential nourishment to keep their sex life active.
This is an all-too-common tale of discrepancy of sexual desire, a small problem that can have devastating effects on a marriage over the long haul. Sex is a vital part of a healthy love relationship. When it is not the source of satisfaction for both partners it is just a matter of time before the relationship loses its lustre. Andrew Aaron, LICSW

Q: I'm able to assume AWS role in Console but not in cli I have AWS organization with users (id: 111111111111) and dev (id: 222222222222) accounts. Users first login to the users account, and then able to switch to the dev account.
The problem: Users are able to switch role via console (website), but NOT via the CLI...
This is how I switch via the CLI:
export $(printf "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=%s AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=%s AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=%s" \
$(aws sts assume-role \
--role-arn  arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/administrator  \
--role-session-name TestSessionName \
--query "Credentials.[AccessKeyId,SecretAccessKey,SessionToken]" \
--output text))

And I get the following error:
An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the AssumeRole operation: User: arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/gitlab-ci-user is not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/administrator

Made sure which user i'm logged in via cli:
> aws sts get-caller-identity
{
    "UserId": "...",
    "Account": "111111111111",
    "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/gitlab-ci-user"
}

The user gitlab-ci-user is member of the AdminsDevAssumeRole group, and the following policy:
{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/administrator"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "Version": "2012-10-17"
}

In the dev account (222222222222), I got role administrator, with the following trust relationship:
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:root"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
            "Condition": {
                "Bool": {
                    "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent": "false"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Any idea why i'm not able to switch role via cli (but do in console)?

Home City Services Departments Fire Department Fire Department History Rex Hook & Ladder Company
Rex Hook & Ladder Company
By the late 1800s, members of the existing York fire companies occasionally discussed the need of a ladder truck to help protect York from fire. The Laurel Fire Company had seriously considered purchasing a ladder truck, but a purchase was never completed.
On December 7, 1885, a fire at the York Collegiate Institute was instrumental in the formation of a hook and ladder company. Many at the fire felt that a good portion of the building could have been saved had a ladder truck been available for use.
A number of enthusiastic firemen, many from the Laurel fire company, began discussing the formation of a hook and ladder company. The group, led by Rex Stouch, called for a meeting of interested parties on March 26, 1886 for the purposes of forming the company. The company was organized and officers elected at a second meeting on March 30, 1886.
A suitable name for the new company was discussed, resulting in a meeting held at the Temperance Hall on North George Street. A motion was made by William Burnham to name the company Rex, in honor of Rex Stouch, generally regarded as the founder of the company. Mr. Stouch quickly objected, by was soon overwhelmed by the sentiment of the members in attendance. He then withdrew his objection, thanked the members and closed with "Let her go boys, the baby's name is Rex!"
A committee succeeded in collecting $1,200.00 toward the purchase of a hook and ladder truck, most of which was raised by Mr. Stouch. On April 28, 1887, a new hook and ladder apparatus, built by Gleason and Bailey of Philadelphia, arrived in York and was paraded through the streets of town. The apparatus was initially housed in the carriage house of the York County Agricultural Society, which was then located on East King Street.
The first truck house was built in 1887, a single story building in the 100 block of East Market Street.
A more permanent home for the company was desired, and a committee was appointed to acquire the use of a lot next to the Laurel's engine house. The Laurel approved the use of the lot for a home for the Rex, providing that the Rex build a station that complimented the architecture of the Laurel. A new station was built and was occupied on September 27, 1888. The two adjoining stations were matched so that from the exterior they appear as one building.
In 1918, the Rex purchased a Boyd ladder truck with a 65 foot aerial ladder. This was the first motorized unit for the Rex. In 1926, an American LaFrance service truck was purchased, carrying 225 feet of ground ladders. The Rex then became a two-truck company.
In 1941, the Boyd truck was replaced with an American LaFrance JOX aerial ladder truck with a 100 foot aerial ladder. On June 22, 1950, the service truck was replaced with an American LaFrance squad truck.
In 1957, an interior doorway was cut between the Laurel station, known as Station 1, and the Rex station, known as Station 8. Prior to then, someone wanting to travel from one station to the other had to go outside and walk around the buildings.
In 1959, the Rex station was selected to house the department's new base radio station for fire department radio communications. The radio was eventually relocated to the fire headquarters building next door, which continued in use until York County Control was established in 1970. A 100 foot tractor-drawn aerial ladder truck was placed in service in 1964, replacing the 1941 aerial truck. The "tiller" would remain in service until the turn of the century, when it was replaced by a modern tower ladder truck.

Photo Of The Day: Whirling Dervishes In Sudan
Mark Fischer, Flickr
Dervishes of the whirling variety are most famously associated with Turkey, where they've become something of a tourist attraction throughout the country. But the dervish tradition extends far beyond modern-day gawkers and Turkey's borders. Dervishes are Sufi Muslims who lead an ascetic lifestyle. Whirling dervishes spin rhythmically in order to reach a state of religious or spiritual ecstasy, and are found in many places outside of Turkey. In fact, the whirling dervish ceremony just outside of Khartoum, Sudan, where Flickr user Mark Fischer snapped this photo, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the capital. If you'd like to see your great shots on Photo of the Day, share them with us in the Gadling Flickr pool.
Egyptian Mummies Weren't Given Enemas, Study Shows
by Sean McLachlan on Mar 23, 2013
Ancient Egyptian mummies have been an object of fascination. The Greek historian Herodotus, who lived in the fifth century B.C., visited Egypt and wrote a description of the mummification process. Since no ancient Egyptian text survives, his account forms the basis of many descriptions in modern books and museum displays.
Now a new study by two Canadian scientists suggests Herodotus may have gotten it wrong.
Yahoo News reports that two of the key points in Herodotus' account – that the internal organs were dissolved with cedar oil enemas and the heart was always left in place – don't stand up to scientific scrutiny. Researchers have examined studies of 150 mummies and put seven through CT scans and found little evidence of cedar oil. Also, in three-quarters of the mummies the heart was missing.
Herodotus also said that the brains were removed with a hook pushed through the nose. The study shows brains in about a fifth of mummies.
So why did Herodotus get it wrong? The study's coauthor Andrew Wade of the University of Western Ontario says mummification was a lucrative business and its secrets closely guarded. In other words, Herodotus was handed a line. Imagine a bunch of mummy makers drinking wine by the Nile after a busy day at the office and laughing about that clueless Greek who showed up asking questions. "Cedar oil enemas? Yeah, save that for the tourists!"
Another possibility is that the mummy makers cut corners. In many animal mummies, used as offerings to the gods, researchers found only partial skeletons or wrappings that contained nothing. Temples made lots of money selling animal mummies to the faithful, and they created fakes to increase profits.
The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University has a longer account of Herodotus' writings on mummification here. The study was published in the latest issue of HOMO: The Journal of Comparative Human Biology.

You'd think archaeologists would have found all the pyramids of Africa by now, but two recent discoveries show there's a lot more discovering to be done.
A team of archaeologists working in Luxor, Egypt, have just announced they've discovered the pyramid of Khay, a powerful vizier of the Pharaoh Ramses II (ruled 1279-1212 B.C.). The pyramid was made of mudbrick and originally stood 49 feet high.
In the seventh and eighth century A.D. it was dismantled and turned into a Coptic Christian hermitage. Hieroglyphic writing on the surviving bricks told the archaeologists to whom the pyramid belonged.
Earlier this month, archaeologists announced they had found the bases of at least 35 broken pyramids at the site of Sedeinga in Sudan. They're about 2,000 years old and belong to the kingdom of Kush, which lasted from c.1000 B.C. to 350 A.D. before finally being conquered by the Empire of Axum in Ethiopia. For almost a hundred years from 747-656 B.C., the Kushites ruled Egypt as the 25th dynasty.
The Sedeinga pyramids really just pyramid-shaped tombs. The largest measures 22 feet to a side, while the smallest is only 30 inches to a side. Others in Sudan, such as those at Meroë, are much more grandiose. Those at the pyramid field at Nuri, shown here courtesy Vít Hassan, are up to 150 feet tall.
Last year, a satellite survey conducted by Dr. Sarah Parcak of the University of Alabama found 17 suspected pyramids.
So how could these pyramids go missing? Well, most pyramids were much smaller than the famous ones at Giza and Saqqara that we always see pictures of. Shifting sands and erosion helped hide them. In the case of the Sedeinga tombs, later people took stones from them to build other structures.
Even some sizable pyramids have all but disappeared because they were made of inferior materials. Some of the last pyramids of Egypt are barely visible today because of shoddy workmanship or having been made with mudbrick instead of stone.
My Year In Adventure Travel: A Look Back And A Look Forward
by Sean McLachlan on Dec 19, 2012
We're approaching the end of 2012, so it's a good time to assess what we've done and where we're headed. There's a whole year of adventures and opportunities awaiting us in 2013, despite what the New Age crystal clutchers say. The world is not ending and that's a good thing!
I've had some interesting adventure travel this year. My family and I spent a week on the rugged Orkney Islands north of Scotland. We visited Neolithic stone circles, a haunted island, and I had my first (bad) experience driving on the left.
I really clicked with Orkney. The people are wonderful and the scenery is breathtaking. I'm thinking of going back to do a writer's retreat there sometime if I can afford it. It's an interesting culture with its own distinct traditions and music and I bet it would provide lots of inspiration.
The big trip for this year was a 17-day tour of Iraq. This was the culmination of a lifelong dream for me and I loved almost every second of it. Nearly getting arrested wasn't too cool, but I got to visit the world-class National Museum of Iraq, archaeological wonders such as Ur and Babylon, see an Iraqi amusement park, and take a solo stroll through Baghdad.
Of course I wasn't the only Gadling blogger to have adventures. The ones that made me most jealous are Anna Brones' trip to Afghanistan and Dave Seminara's ongoing anecdotes about life in the foreign service.
So what's coming up in 2013? I'll be seeing that year in with my wife on a brief getaway in Tangier, but beyond that I have no set plans. I'm probably going to hike the Great Glen Way in Scotland this summer. There are some other possibilities too. Here are the three major contenders:
Sudan. I've always been intrigued by this desert nation. Sudan has its own pyramids, medieval Christian sites, and a beautiful desert landscape. An English teacher I know in Khartoum has nothing but good things to say about Sudan's capital.
Iran. I went to Iran back in 1994 and I'm interested in returning to see how things have changed. One of the sites I didn't get to see last time was Alamut, the fabled castle of the Assassins. My archaeology contacts have told me that Iran's government is restoring the castle in the hopes of turning it into a tourist attraction. My wife is interested in coming along on this trip and so we'd get both a male and female view of life inside this strictly Muslim country.
Lebanon. This nation on the Mediterranean is doing better than it has in many years. Lebanon has a wealth of archaeological sties, great nightlife in Beirut, and from what I've been told the best cuisine in the Middle East. It's also right next to Syria, allowing an insight into that country's bitter civil war.
So which country would you like to read a series about? Take the quiz and tell me!

Central African Ivory Wars Ravage Elephant Population
by Kraig Becker on Sep 6, 2012
An ever-increasing demand for ivory on Asia's black market is creating conflicts across Africa and having a devastating effect on the elephant population there. According to a somber and in depth report published by the New York Times on Monday, the high price of ivory has now made elephant tusks akin to blood diamonds, a natural resource to be plundered at all costs. As a result, elephants are now being killed by the tens of thousands on an annual basis with poaching at its most rampant in over thirty years.
According to the article, ivory is now sold on the illegal underground market for more than $1000 per pound. That kind of cash has lured in organized crime syndicates in China that work with rebel resistance groups throughout Africa who obtain the ivory by hunting down and slaughtering elephants in the wild. The tusks of the animal are then smuggled out of the country and shipped to Asia, where it is used in the creation of ornamental goods. Ivory has long been seen as a symbol of wealth and status in that part of the world and it has grown in demand with a rising middle-class, particularly in China.
It isn't just outlaws and mob bosses that are caught up in the ivory trade, however. The armies of some African nations are also likely being used in poaching operations as well. The Times says that armies from Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan have all been implicated in the poaching of elephants. The article even implies that Ugandan soldiers have employed the use of military helicopters to hunt down and kill elephants inside the neighboring DRC. Those soldiers are blamed for the slaughter of a herd of 22 elephants that took place in April.And where is all of this ivory going? For the most part it ends up in China. It is estimated that 70% of the ivory finds its way into that country and last year more than 150 Chinese citizens were arrested in Africa on charges of smuggling ivory. Experts feel that if China cracked down on the demand for ivory amongst its growing middle-class, the systematic poaching of elephants would drop off dramatically.
For their part, most of the African nations try to protect their elephant herds as much as possible. Those herds are generally found inside national parks, which are of course protected lands. But those countries don't have enough manpower, money or other resources to patrol those large sections of wilderness, thus poachers can come and go almost with impunity. When they are caught in the act, however, it often results in a bloody conflict between anti-poaching units and the outlaws, who are often very well armed.
Just how badly has the elephant population been hurt by the ivory trade? No one knows exactly for sure, but in the Congo's Garamba National Park the creatures once numbered in excess of 20,000. Today it is believed that just 2400 still freely wander that region, which was also once home to the white rhino. Sadly, that species has already been hunted to extinction within the park as poachers harvested rhino horns, which are also in high demand across Asia.
Reading the New York Times piece is both shocking and sad. Having seen elephants in the wilds of Africa with my own eyes I found it impossible to not be struck by the intelligence and nobility of those animals. It is hard to believe that in the 21st century man's greed could possibly see the last of these creatures roaming free.
How U.S. Travel Policies Change in the Biden-Harris Era


Mallard ducks have less than 500 taste buds, compared to the 10,000 of a human and 17,000 in the rabbit. Birds do have a sense of taste, and do show definite taste preferences, as we all know!
Does this mean they have less range of taste or less sensitivity ?
Or do they not know ?
No idea Rob. I wouldimagine they are tuned to flavours that relate to duck survival.
Paul, the one that told me about the Ceyenne pepper raises Old English Games that are in pens and open to visits by wild birds and in close to 40 years of raising them has never had a worm infestation and as I said he has them tested. Not a small feat either as there are over 100 roosters at any one time and probably close to 300 hens.
He is always working on new colors and defining his show stock and that is why he has so many birds.
Some zoos have taken to spraying their seed with diluted pepper juice as it keeps the rodents at bay.
Here are a few links but not the ones that I wanted, locked away in a crashed computer I'm afraid, so I will do more searching and add to them later.
Hi there, probably a stupid question but you say Flubenvet Intermediate is applied orally... does this mean you add it to the girls food??
That's right - as described in the article above !
This goes back to the early descriptions of the effects of cider vinegar and the comment that the tannin is important. Does anybody give (cold) tea to their birds? Could it cause a problem? I've only had birds for a month and it's a steep learning curve - I wouldn't have coped without this site. Thanks to all posters (& of course Sally) who have given me confidence and practical advice.
Hi ehs284. Welcome to the forums. You can introduce yourself to the wider membership in the Welcome forum.
Good question. I can't wait to find out the answer !

Q: MDM (not Intune) cannot report compliance status (to Azure AD) of a device currenctly being managed I have succesfully enrolled a Device (Windows 10 Pro Version 1803) to our own MDM by authenticating an Azure AD user. Next I have to tell Azure AD that the device is managed by our MDM and that is where the problem happens.
The patch that I do is the same like in the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/azure-active-directory-integration-with-mdm#report-device-compliance-to-azure-ad
The error I got is Resource 'xyz' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.
What I have done so far is:

*

*On Azure AD Portal I added an MDM OnPremise App, set its Terms Of Use URL, Discovery URL, generate a secret. Also configured  MDM User scope to Some  and selected a group where my users are member of.

*On Required persimision I verified that "Read and write devices" under "Application Permissions" is checked.

*The user authenticates (using Azure AD crendentials), accepts Terms of Use (of the MDM) and voilá all fine. That is done on the device under Settings => Accounts => Access work or school => + Connect.

*During the enrollment, I parse the Bearer Token and extract the Device ID (e.g. xyz), which is the same as the one on the Azure AD portal once the device succesfully managed.

*To report compliance status I do a patch like this

PATCH https://graph.windows.net/mytenant.onmicrosoft.com/devices/xyz?api-version=1.0 HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiO………
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{  "isManaged":true,
   "isCompliant":true
}
But I got the error described above.
I have tested as well different Device Ids such as

*

*the one Windows 10 shows on Settigns => System => About.

*Or the one that is present on the element ContextItem attribute DeviceID on the Request Security Token request during enrollment.
The bearer token I use on the patch above is retrieved from microsoft graph when the registered MDM app (using its credentials such as appid, secret, etc) authenticates it self to Azure AD.
Whould you please help me to find the source of this error, or maybe give me some hints in order to solve this. I'd apreciate it a lot.
Thanks in advance.

A: The deviceId of a Device object in Azure AD is often confused with the object's objectId attribute. (The latter is known as objectId in Azure AD Graph, and as id in Microsoft Graph. In both cases, deviceId is a different property.)
In a GET request for a single Device object with Azure AD Graph:
GET https://graph.windows.net/{tenant-id}/devices/{object-id}

The field identified by {object-id} is not the deviceId attribute of the Device object, it's the objectId attribute.
If you don't already have the Device object's objectId value, but you do have the deviceId, you can use either Azure AD Graph or Microsoft Graph to do the appropriate lookup. With Azure AD Graph:
GET https://graph.windows.net/{tenant-id}/devices?$filter=deviceId eq '{device-id}'

With Microsoft Graph, you would use:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/devices?$filter=deviceId eq '{device-id}'

MindMed To Evaluate Ayahuasca's Active Ingredient DMT In Phase 1 Clinical Trial Collaboration
NEWS PROVIDED BY Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc.
Jun 18, 2020, 07:00 ET
Phase 1 Trial to experiment with dosing methods to better understand how humans react to DMT, setting stage for future potential Phase 2a proof of concept trials
BASEL, Switzerland, June 18, 2020 /CNW/ — MindMed will now pursue N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the principally active ingredient in Ayahuasca, as part of its R&D collaboration with the University Hospital Basel's Liechti Lab. MindMed is providing startup funding for a Phase 1 clinical trial testing various intravenous dosing regimens of DMT, expected to begin in Q4 of 2020.
DMT is a naturally-occurring psychedelic substance and is the active ingredient used in Ayahuasca ceremonies by indigenous Amazonian shamanic practitioners. DMT causes a rapid onset and offset of action compared to similar psychedelic substances such as psilocybin or LSD. When administered as an Ayahuasca brew, natural substances are mixed with DMT to prolong its experiential effects and slow the metabolism in the human body.
MindMed Co-Founder & Co-CEO JR Rahn said: "There is a growing trend in Western society to use Ayahuasca and DMT to facilitate a healing process for one's mind. However, there is very limited safety data and clinical trials evaluating DMT as a potential medicine so we are going to double down on understanding the therapeutic opportunity and more effective ways to administer DMT in a controlled setting to achieve this healing process."
Through this Phase 1 clinical trial, MindMed and the Liechti Lab are exploring how DMT can achieve experiential effects similar to Ayahuasca by testing a more controlled intravenous dosing method.
There is non-clinical, anecdotal evidence which suggests DMT and Ayahuasca's experiential effects are powerful healing tools for addiction disorders. The human safety data and associated knowhow gathered in this Phase 1 clinical trial will better enable MindMed's clinical team to design future potential commercial drug development programs based on DMT sessions.
DMT is rapidly metabolized as it enters the body if taken orally and therefore it only has a very short duration of action. In contrast through a continuous intravenous perfusion application the effect is longer but can be stopped rapidly. In order to potentially induce a stable DMT experience lasting 1-2 hours, an intravenous dosing regimen including a starting dose and then a maintenance dose will be evaluated in this Phase 1 clinical trial. This intravenous administration may also allow therapists to induce and to end an experiential state safely and more quickly as required.
Currently, no study has validly determined the elimination half-life of DMT and other pharmacokinetic parameters and there is limited known data on dosing regimens of pure DMT. This Phase 1 double blind placebo controlled 5-period crossover design study will provide a well controlled study setting to illuminate these shortcomings in the current clinical understanding of DMT and pave the way for future Phase 2a proof of concept efficacy studies in various indications.

Record Review
Woodstock 2 features Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Butterfield Blues Band, Canned Heat, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jefferson Airplane, Melanie and Mountain.
It's more than just the leftovers from the first album. For a start the is a whole side, over 17 minutes of Hendrix; three tracks from CSN&Y, two from Melanie and Airplane and one from Baez. But is any of it REALLY worth over £4?
The star of this double set is undoubtedly Hendrix, sounding like at least two guitarists as he blazes through "Jam Back at the House", "Izabella" and "Get My Heart Back Together".
Airplane's "Saturday Afternoon Won't You Try" is a bit indifferent and "Eskimo Blue Day" is their best effort.
Joan Baez sings "Sweet Sir Galahad" beautifully while Melanie, sounding like a female equivalent of an early Dylan, wails through "My Beautiful People" and "Birthday Of The Sun"…….
Woodstock: The Lost Performances.
Entertainment Weekly, Feb 14, 1992, by Mark Fleischmann
Three days of peace and music and squalor are a lot to fit into one movie. Among, this collection of performances that didn't make it into Woodstock, the movie, are four that did appear on Woodstock, the two albums: excruciating numbers by Canned Heat and Melanie, the infamous rain chant, plus a worthier reprise from. Crosby, Stills & Nash (too bad they blow the lyrics on Lennon-McCartney's "Blackbird"). The real finds are Joe Cocker's "Let's Go Get Stoned," Arlo Guthrie's whimsical cover of Dylan's "Walkin' Down the Line," in which he seems to have taken Cocker's advice, and Janis Joplin's torrid "Work Me Lord."

Societe´ Generale Customer Says Bank Stole Millions
October 16, 2010 by JP
Two Societe Generale Bankers Admit Misconduct Yet the Bank Doesn't Want to Pay?
[Updated Nov. 2018] Two Societe Generale Singapore bankers have been accused of losing almost $10,000,000 in a client's account and then attempting the hide the losses with phony statements. An Australian resident, Chan Leong Cheng, sued the bank and two of its private bankers for fraud. According to the suit, "the defendants' management of the assets in the account created massive losses." That appears accurate; according to the victim, the account went from about $10 million to $250,000 in just a few years.
While bank frauds are nothing new, Societe Generale is the second largest bank in France. It is known for its private banking. According to the bank's website, Societe Generale has 2,900 private bank employees in 21 countries managing over $90 billion. For a bank that large and sophisticated, it has continued to be plagued by internal fraud and theft.
In April of this year, the bank admitted "anomalies" in its Singapore operation, the same location currently being sued by Mr. Chan. The bank announced an internal audit and later reported that the affected clients were informed. Apparently that did not include Chan. Although his account had dwindled to just $250,000, he continued to receive statements – phony statements – showing his account with an $8,000,000 balance.
In early October of this year, a French court sentenced Societe Generale trader Jerome Kerveil to 3 years in prison and ordered him to pay a record high fine of almost $7 billion after being convicted of forgery and breach of trust.
What is especially shocking is that despite its already tarnished reputation and bad publicity, the bank has refused to make good on Mr. Chan's account. According to a published report, one of the two account managers, Jenny Liew Marn Leng, Mr Chan's relationship manager, has already confessed.
The second participant, Lilian Ang, Ms. Liew's direct supervisor, admitted she withheld the losses from the bank's management.
According to the lawsuit, Ms Ang told Mr Chan that although she had known about out Liew's conduct for months, she decided not to inform him, and instead made further trades on his account 'in a vain attempt to recoup the massive losses."
Not only were the defendants unable to recoup the losses, the lawsuit says Ang made the problem worse by electing to withhold the matter from the bank's management. Apparently she was afraid of losing her job.
With all these confessions, did anyone bother to pay Mr. Chan back for his lost millions? NO! For the bank's part, they claim that Mr. Chan was negligent and responsible for the criminal conduct of the bank's employees. Manager Lillian Ang apparently threatened to sue Mr. Chan!
The real losers in this case are Mr. Chan and his kids. He had set aside the monies in that account to fund his kids' future needs. All of that is now in doubt unless the bank makes good.
Can I Hold a Bank Liable for my Losses?
Not every loss by a bank is the result of fraud. Most are not. For every winner in the investment world there is someone who loses money. Blaming the victim, however, does nothing to enhance the bank's already damaged credibility. Remember, one of the two bankers has already confessed and according to the lawsuit, the bank statements were complete fabrications.
Where did the money go? Early speculation is that the two bankers made a series of unauthorized trades in the account, each one losing money. As the account's balance rapidly dwindled, the two made increasingly risky trades trying to recoup the losses. To compound the problem, the two altered bank statements sent to the client.
Societe Generale's website notes, "To maintain your standard of living and meet your future needs… we take everything into account." Perhaps after this latest investment fraud scandal that should now read, "We take everything IN your account."
Chan Cheng is a resident of Perth, Australia. Societe Generale is headquartered in France. And his particular account was in Singapore. U.S. law probably doesn't apply to his account.

This year, in fact, Italy celebrates its 150th anniversary as a country: it was 1861 when the unification was officially proclaimed after more than forty years of rebel movements and Wars of Independence.
Prior to that, a map of the peninsula looked like a patchwork of smaller states as a result of the Congress of Vienna, where European leaders renegotiated national boundaries and spheres of influence after the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars (a significant part of Italy went under direct control by the Austrian Empire). It wasn't long, however, before the wind of nationalism blowing throughout Europe touched Italy. The idea of a united Italy grew at first particularly among intellectuals, and soon revolutionary groups, like the Carbonari, began to form.
The very first insurrections started in the early '20s, gradually grew in the '30s and, finally, by 1848 the sentiment toward unification was ripe enough to provoke revolts in many states in a very short time. In Lombardy, tensions against the Austrian domination blew up as, after five days of barricades (le Cinque Giornate di Milano, from March 18 to 22), the Milanese people managed to expel the Austrian garrison. It was a crucial moment in the Italian Risorgimento and finally prompted the King of Sardinia (whose kingdom actually centered around Piedmont) to wage war against the Austrian Empire. The First War of Independence, however, ended unsuccessfully in 1849.
A decade later, things were brought to the next level by Piedmont Prime Minister Count of Cavour, who engaged in war against the Austrians, at first with the help of Napoleon III. When the latter broke his alliance, the Piedmontese fought on until they succeeded in creating the Unified Provinces of Central Italy and later on annexing them to the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860.
That same year, to support the riots occurring in Sicily against the sovereign Francesco II, Giuseppe Garibaldi organized his famous Spedizione dei Mille. At first, the volunteers who landed in Sicily to help the rebels were really about a thousand; but as their insurrections succeeded more people joined in and finally took also the kingdom's capital, Naples. When he joined Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Sardinia, Garibaldi greeted him as King of Italy—a title which, on March 17, 1861, was finally made official by the first Italian Parliament assembled a month earlier.
Official celebrations
Every year Italy celebrates two major events as national days: Liberation Day on April 25 (1945, from the nazi fascist occupation), and Republic Day on June 2 (1946, birth of the Republic after World War II). This year only, in addition, March 17 will be an extra 'National Day' with country-wide official ceremonies and celebrations.
In Milan, a number of events has taken place since fall 2010, and a lot more are to come until the end of 2011. Here follows a quick guide.

M7 In Nairobi For AU Security Summit
September 2, 2014 Staff Writer
President Yoweri Museveni and Tanzania's Jakaya Kikwete at the Peace and Security summit on terrorism.
President Yoweri Museveni and Tanzania's Jakaya Kikwete at the Peace and Security summit on terrorism.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is among six Presidents meeting in Kenya for the one-day African Union (AU) Peace and Security summit on terrorism.
The Presidents of Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanzania and Burundi's Vice President as well as the Prime Ministers of Namibia and Algeria, will lead their countries' delegations.
The delegations of The Gambia, Ethiopia, Libya and South Africa will be led by ministers, while Ambassadors from Equatorial Guinea and Mozambique will represent their countries, the ministry said.
The AU has expressed deep concern over the threat posed by terrorism in Africa, particularly in the Sahelo-Saharan region, Horn of Africa, including Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti, as well as in the Central African region, with attacks carried out by the Lord Resistance Army (LRA).
The concerns were captured in the AU's decision on the Report of the Peace and Security Council (PSC) on its Activities and the State of Peace and Security in Africa during the 23rd AU Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, June 26-27, 2014.
The Assembly strongly condemned the attacks carried out by various terrorist groups and expressed its outrage at the cowardly kidnapping, by Boko Haram, of over 200 school girls in northern Nigeria.
The Ministry said the objective of the Nairobi meeting is to undertake an in-depth review of the situation and the ongoing AU's efforts to combat terrorism in Africa within the framework of the AU normative and operational instruments.
"In view of the seriousness of the threat posed by terrorism on the continent, the Assembly stressed the urgency of renewed efforts towards the effective implementation of the AU counter-terrorism framework," the statement said.
This includes the signing and ratification of the relevant instruments, notably the 1999 Algiers Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism and its 2004 Protocol, which entered into force on Feb 26, 2014.
In this respect, the Assembly requested the PSC to devote a meeting, at Summit level, to consider the issue of terrorism.
It is against this backdrop that the Republic of Chad, as Chair of the PSC for the month of September 2014, planned the PSC Summit on terrorism in Africa taking place in the Kenyan capital.
The meeting is expected to agree on concrete steps to enhance the ongoing efforts to effectively address the threat of terrorism.
The meeting is open to all AU member states, regional economic communities, the Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa (CISSA), the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the League of Arab States and the five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council.
It is also open to representatives of the World Bank, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as well as Spain and Germany.
Turkey and the United States will attend the meeting as the co-chairs of the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (GCTF).

The Sebi order did not go into details of Vishvapradhan's ownership. However, the regulator observed that the firm had a revenue of only Rs 60,000 in financial year 2017 and Rs 400 crore of long-term loans and advances.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Tuesday issued an order directing Vishvapradhan Commercial Pvt Ltd (VCPL) to make an open offer within 45 days to acquire shares of NDTV Ltd because it had indirectly acquired a 52 per cent controlling stake in the television company in 2009. The market regulator also directed Vishvapradhan to pay 10 per cent interest along with offer price to shareholders who were holding shares in NDTV when the stake was acquired. Vishvapradhan, according to Sebi, has violated the regulator's takeover norms, when acquired the stake via a convertible loan of Rs 350 crore given to RRPR, the promoter of NDTV Ltd.
"In the current set of facts and circumstances, it is clear that the noticee and its associate companies had neither the history of advancing such loans nor do they appear to have had the financial wherewithal to advance loans on such liberal terms, " the Sebi order added. "The elaborate mechanism adopted by the noticee and its associates appear to be solely to deflect attention from this acquisition and thus covetously overcome the obligations imposed by the takeover regulations." A Reliance spokesperson said that Vishvapradhan doesn't belong to Reliance Industries anymore. According to the Press Trust of India, Vishvapradhan was sold to the Nahata group by Reliance Industries in 2010.
Sebi said the NDTV promoters had made an open offer in 2008, and had taken a loan of Rs 540 crore from Indiabulls Financial Services Ltd. To repay this loan, another loan of Rs 375 crore was taken from ICICI Bank, which in turn was repaid in 2009 by taking Rs 350 crore loan from Vishvapradhan through an agreement of July 21, 2009.
Sebi said the loan, according to the agreement was an unsecured loan without any interest payment. Sebi said the agreement helped Vishvapradhan to acquire 52 per cent of NDTV shares in two ways — indirect acquisition of convertible warrants of the holding company; and by purchase of a freely exercisable call option to buy 26 per cent shares of NDTV.
New Delhi: Sebi is learnt to have issued a show cause notice to the promoters — Prannoy Roy, Radhika Roy and RRPR Holding Pvt Ltd — for non-disclosure of loan agreement with VCPL to the stock exchanges.

Timeless 1×10 Review: The Things We Do For Love
Home » Timeless 1×10 Review: The Things We Do For Love
We do a lot for love. In fact, you could even say we do everything for love. Sometimes it might be the love we have for ourselves, or the love we have for our significant other, or family, but feelings play a big part in every decision we make, every step we take.
Love can make us discover a part of ourselves. Love might make us brave. In some cases, love can even leads us to make questionable choices. And, when that happens, what do we focus on? The love or the choice?
In a midseason finale filled with moral ambiguity, our characters face the ultimate choice between saving the people they love and doing what's "right" – and the funny thing is, we can't really blame them for the decisions they make.
Wouldn't we make the same ones if we were in their shoes?
So let's explore the choices, the relationships and, of course, the shocking ending to "The Capture of Benedict Arnold"
Well, that was sufficiently creepy, wasn't it?
Rittenhouse has been our elusive bad guy for a while, and though I'm pretty sure none of us expected that to be an actual man, the fact that he is – and the fact that he's gone – probably won't have the effect Flynn (or Rufus) would like.
But it's a masterpiece of a move for a show that has always had trouble with just Flynn as its bad guy. Why? Well, because Flynn is not really a bad guy. He's a villain in a sense, yes, and our heroes are tasked with stopping him every episode, but his background makes it so we can't really blame him for all he's doing. And every story needs a bad guy. A real bad guy.
This episode plays the Rittenhouse card perfectly, with Flynn, and our Time Team realizing that if they want to get rid of him, they have to work together. Of course, that goes wrong rather quickly, because the fact of the matter is Flynn is willing to do anything and everything to stop this evil, and our team just isn't.
Does that mean that their end goals don't align? Not really. I'm not naïve enough to believe this is really the end of Rittenhouse, after all. But the enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend, especially if the methods differ as much as they do. Will our team get to the same place Flynn is? Debatable, but always a possibility, especially because this episode gives Rittenhouse a face, yes, but it also lays the foundation for it to be so much more.
Clockmakers. The guys pulling the strings of history. All the strings. And what's more scary than that?
Garcia Flynn is, as we've previously surmised, willing to do anything and everything to save his family. But, in a way, so is Rufus. So is Wyatt. And though Lucy hasn't been faced where a situation where she had a choice between doing the right thing and saving her sister, what would she do if she were? What would we do?
The striking thing about Flynn, the one that makes him even less of a villain, is that he clearly recognizes what he's doing is wrong. He just thinks the end justifies the means. And he'd be willing to walk away from his family not to taint them, as long as he gets them back.
But that also proves that Flynn doesn't really get it. He's not a bad guy, and he'd do everything to save his family, but he wouldn't do anything to make his family happy. Because, if he did get them back, would they want to be without him? Would they be proud of the man he's become in their name?
Moral ambiguity is the name of the game this episode, as just about everyone makes a questionable choice in order to protect the people they love. In fact, you could even say the people that don't just haven't been faced with the choice yet. But knowing Timeless, the choice is coming. For all of them.
After all, what could be more devastating than this midseason finale? Well, maybe Wyatt having to make a choice between getting his wife back and saving Lucy and Rufus. Maybe Rufus having to decide between his family and Wyatt and Lucy. Maybe Lucy having to decide between her sister and Rufus and Wyatt.
What? You don't think it's coming? I do. I'm prepared. Or, as prepared as I can be for something that's going to rip me apart. And it might seem like a long ways off, but they changed a lot of stuff in this episode. A lot. Who knows what the present they go back to will look like? Who knows if everyone they love will still be there? Who knows if some of the people they lost might be back?
One of my favorite things about Timeless it's that it hasn't become so enamored of one dynamic – even one that works as well as Wyatt/Lucy, for example – to neglect all the other relationships. Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus, in particular, are a team. They're not a couple and a sidekick, no. They're a team of three and they make the decisions together. They care about each other. They protect each other.
They're each other's people, as simple as that. Doesn't mean they don't get to have other people – though Wyatt clearly doesn't and Lucy is struggling with realizing she doesn't have to be the person her other self was – it just means that they're family.
And hey, just as Wyatt and Lucy had clearly discussed the Rufus/Jiya situation, and maybe even placed bets on it, are we thinking Rufus and Jiya, hell, maybe even Agent Christopher and Connor have had a "You see what's going on between Wyatt and Lucy" talk? Because at this point, if they don't see it, they're blind.
Wyatt and Lucy have always liked each other, and they've grown to both respect and care for the other, but it's not till now, after their adventure with Bonnie and Clyde, that you can see there's an awareness that pulsates between them, a sense of possibility that neither of them wants to admit.
For Wyatt, because admitting that, committing to it, means letting go of Jessica and the things he thinks he can get back. For Lucy because actually feeling the things she could feel for Wyatt means a loss of control that she's never experienced and she's not sure she wants to.
But it's coming. There's no escaping it. It's as clear as Wyatt's look of annoyance at Lucy and Flynn's private conversation. It becomes even more obvious when you consider that Lucy whispers Wyatt's name as soon as the knife goes to her throat and she screams his name when Flynn is taking her away, even if she has no way of knowing if Wyatt is close.
And hey, if you had any doubts after that, consider Wyatt's strangled Lucy in response. She says his name because when she's scared Wyatt's the one she thinks of. He responds like he does because he can't bear to see her hurt.
This is OTP material right here. And yes, it might take a while – we might have to put up with sort-of-fiancé and obviously-returning-wife before we get it. But it's there. It's not going away. And we don't ever want it to.
Other things to note:
The development of Agent Denise Christopher was not just long overdue, it was perfectly done. It made sense for her to ask Lucy to help her preserve, if not her family (no one can promise that), her memories of them.
"Before the time machine my worst fear was losing them. Now it's that I could lose them and not know they were ever here." – Isn't that the scariest thing?
Riya continues to be goals. VIDEO GAMES. Also, Jiya's apartment seems like the kind of place I'd want to hang out in. Plus, she can get the pizza.
"These are idiotic, unenlightened times." – Spot on, Flynn. Spot on. But we're all glad that Rufus had to stay behind. VERY GLAD.
