2 California Men Have Been Charged With Plotting To Bomb A Democratic Party Building

Two men have been indicted over what authorities say was a plan to attack the Democratic Party headquarters in Sacramento, Calif.
Updated July 16, 2021 at 12:37 PM ET
Two California men who were angry about former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss have been indicted on charges they plotted to firebomb the Democratic Party's headquarters in Sacramento.
The defendants, 45-year-old Ian Rogers and 37-year-old Jarrod Copeland, are both facing one count of conspiracy to destroy a building by fire or explosives. Rogers has also been charged with firearms and explosives offenses, while Copeland is facing an additional obstruction of justice charge.
Prosecutors say the two men were upset about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and wanted to jump-start a "movement" to overthrow the government. They hoped to recruit others to their cause and even reached out to the Proud Boys to try to rally support.
Prosecutors also say that Copeland and Rogers understood that their actions would be viewed as domestic terrorism.
The two men began plotting, court papers say, three weeks after Joe Biden's election win with discussions about attacking targets they viewed as linked to Democrats.
In one exchange of messages from late November cited in court papers, Rogers tells Copeland, "We need to hit the enemy in the mouth." He goes on to say: "I think right now we attack democrats. They're [sic] offices etc. Molotov cocktails and gasoline."
The two men initially discussed attacking the California governor's mansion but quickly shifted their sights to the Democratic headquarters building in downtown Sacramento.
By Dec. 1, court papers say, the men had settled on a plan. Rogers wrote to Copeland: "Do you think something is wrong with me how I'm excited to attack the democrats?"
Prosecutors say the plans advanced over the next several weeks.
According to court papers, on Jan. 4 Copeland told Rogers that if Congress certified the 2020 election results as scheduled on Jan. 6, the two men would "become outlaws for real."
Two days later, Congress did indeed certify the vote, but only after a significant delay because the U.S. Capitol had been overrun by a violent mob of Trump supporters.
The attack on the Capitol left Copeland elated, prosecutors say. He allegedly sent Rogers a string of texts, including "REVOLUTION" "I'm f***ing juiced!!!!!" and "I'm bout to throw my gear on and drive around and punish sombitces [sic]."
On Jan. 11, Rogers messaged Copeland: "I'm thinking sac office first target. Then maybe bird and face offices," which prosecutors say is a reference to the Democratic headquarters in Sacramento, Twitter and Facebook.
"Sad it's come to this but I'm not going down without a fight. These commies need to be told what's up," Rogers adds.
"I agree," Copeland allegedly replied. "Plan attack."
He later added: "Let's see what happens after the 20th we go to war," referring to the date of Biden's inauguration.
Days later, Napa County Sheriff's deputies arrested Rogers and seized between 45 and 50 guns, including assault rifles and three machine guns. They also confiscated five pipe bombs and around 15,000 rounds of ammunition.
An attorney for Rogers declined to comment. It was not immediately clear who was representing Copeland.
Court papers say Copeland tried to delete the records of his messages with Rogers after learning of his friend's arrest. Copeland contacted a militia group leader to let him know. The leader told him to switch messaging apps and to delete everything.
FBI agents arrested Copeland this week at his home in Sacramento.
The government says Copeland poses a danger to the community and is asking that he be detained pending trial.
According to prosecutors, Copeland joined the U.S. military in 2013 but was twice arrested for desertion before receiving an "other than honorable" discharge in November 2016.
After he got out, he joined an affiliate of the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia group, according to the government.
"Copeland's membership in an anti-government militia, and his motivations for planning these attacks are relevant because they are not fleeting or the product of a single, but past, perceived affront," prosecutors say. "His sentiments are deeply felt and long-standing and reflect a believe that the government is illegitimate."

How to become a good leader? Secrets of success
So, you have successfully overcome several stepscareer ladder, and now you have a very real prospect of becoming the leader of a team. This pleases and frightens a little, because now it is necessary to answer not only for their own actions, but also for the actions of other people. How to become a good leader? What are the general rules for managing people today? Is it possible, following these rules, to lead a firm without encountering the same problems all the time? Let's try to understand this question.
How to manage a team
Current level of production developmentcontributes not only to global changes in business, but a colossal coup in the socio-economic environment of society. The old mechanisms of managing this production, when the staff was perceived as a kind of faceless and asexual mass, fulfilling a certain goal, are now safely forgotten. Today the management of any, even the smallest organization, requires a completely new tactic and strategy. There are new psychological aspects of team management, which are the main tools of the current leader. The classical, time-tested theory of management is based on three pillars: people, financial policy, technical issues. In the first place, of course, is the human factor. Thin, wise use of the creative potential of each employee, adjustment of relationships in the team increases the productivity of the work not only of the subordinates, but of the firm as a whole. Effective management team primarily provides guidance on the human factor.
Knowledge of psychology is the tool of a good leader
It is now impossible to become a good leader withoutstudying psychological aspects of communication with subordinates. We can say that the work collective as an object of management is a kind of living being with its own character and habits. Knowledge of the characteristics of people's perception of each other, orientation in the nuances of the relationship between the collective and the administrative apparatus are the fundamental components in the management of people. Only considering them, you can know exactly how to become a first-class manager. This requires an understanding that any employee is primarily a person. This serves as an excellent incentive for the coordinated work of the organization and gives an almost complete answer to the question of how to become a first-class manager. To treat subordinates as mechanical executors is very dangerous. For example, to everyone, even having tremendous creative potential, a person is characterized by stages of decline in psychological activity, when excessive stress only reduces overall productivity. To demand from him in such periods of maximum devotion is impractical. Quality work is involuntarily replaced by a surrogate, which instead of the expected benefits can cause significant harm to the production process, and the performer himself. Feelings of people can be not just their subjective experiences, but also an excellent indicator of the overall psychological mood of the team. A good leader should be open to emotional exchange in order to correct his own actions in case of negative situations. And such situations, as a rule, from time to time ripen in any organization.
Be attentive to employees
Another important rule of successmanagement team - attention to the interests of employees. Each person is unique, unique and motivating, and goals, so trying to impose public interests to the detriment of personal interests can be fatal: the company will lose a valuable employee, which will not be easy to replace. But the unification in any form of personal interests to the benefit of the public will benefit both the atmosphere in the team and the overall productivity of employees. With the coincidence of personal goals, it is quite easy to create human groups that are much easier to manipulate than each individual employee. Within such a grouping, as a rule, there is some competition, from which a competent director can derive significant benefits for the organization. However, it should not be forgotten that competition often turns into a conflict, when everyone aspires to destroy the competitor first. This situation, of course, is destructive, and it must be able to stop at the very beginning. It will require emotional openness and psychological flexibility, based on close attention to the internal state of employees. Such a management tool is quite effective, but its danger lies in the fact that the work of the head will reduce to control and maintain a balance of power. The collective involuntarily can be formed a kind of dual power: the control of the head over employees - on the one hand, and its dependence on the behavior of these employees - on the other. To avoid such a dead end, it is necessary to learn how to maneuver between loyalty towards subordinates and authoritarianism. One of the methods of such maneuvering can be an unobtrusive orientation of the interests of groups of subordinates on the organization's goals. And then providing solutions to the achievement of these goals by the subordinates themselves. This situation in the team is quite favorable. The task of the head in this case will be the delivery of necessary information and the regulation of administrative matters. Therefore, in order to know exactly how to lead a team of one kind or another, you need to look at each of its members and determine exactly what role it can take. But first you need to learn how to choose the best employees, while adhering to certain conditions.
Advices for a novice manager
The beginning manager inevitably encounterssuch problems as the selection of personnel and the creation of the most favorable situation in the team. Unfortunately, there are no universal tools for solving these problems. Nevertheless, there are certain rules, adhering to which, you can achieve significant success in leadership. How to become a successful leader? Some managers try to apply proven "good" techniques: the selection of a team of like-minded people or the introduction into the organization of a leader - a professional who sets his example to others. However, "good" techniques in fact may not be so kind. No professional leader can replace an entire organization, and the most committed adherents always remain separate, self-thinking people. And their goals, in the end, can be different. In addition, for the successful development of any business requires an established mechanism, where each part performs a certain function. And in the case of like-minded people, it's rather difficult to distribute these functions. After all, each of them strives to perform exactly the work that he considers most suitable for himself. Willy-nilly will ponder how to properly manage a team of this kind. In other words, the main thing for a novice leader is the ability to determine the place of every subordinate in the system of the labor mechanism. Someone will be most useful, as the generator of ideas, someone - as the executor of routine work, and someone - as the inspirer creating in collective necessary for productive work an atmosphere. In general, this is precisely the psychology of team management. This task is not simple, but it is completely solvable if people are not chosen subjectively, from the position "like - do not like", but in accordance with the task. Coexistence in the organization of people of different, with all kinds of tastes and habits, is one of the most important stimuli for its development. The unity of opposites always implies progress. There is a lot of advice on how to become a leader, but they are based on one principle: the modern manager should remember that an organization is an association of people, and its goals are achievable only if their cooperation is successful. Plus, you need to learn to appreciate the employee, even if you do not like him as a person. Can you leave personal preferences behind the cabinet door? Become an excellent leader. And learn to restrain yourself. Sometimes we really want to disrupt our anger at those who depend on us. Scream at one employee, scold another subordinate. But before doing this, think about what you are running? Dissatisfaction with the work done or just a desire to release steam? We advise you to read:
How to change your life for the better? Business relationship. Little things do not happen Family or career? Looking for a balance What if I do not like the new job? How to conduct an interview when hiring? How to tune in to work after the holidays and a long separation from the office

that the Captains do exercise their power to deviate whenever they think it necessary for any purpose whatever. 19775. I do not want to argue with you as to what the effect is, but they show clearly that when they report to you they have deviated for derelicts, or on account of heavy labourings - I see that is one of the reports - and that the explanation has been accepted by the Company? - Yes. 19776. It shows that, I agree. What I wanted to know was whether there were any reports of deviation on account of ice being encountered or reported on the track from Queenstown to New York? - I have no others to put forward than those. The only ones that I see are these two, and they are both after the event, the 24th April, 1912, and the 27th April, 1912. Sir Robert Finlay: You see the ice has been coming so much further South. 19777. (The Attorney-General.) I understand, of course, that there is more ice this year. That is quite right? - May I put it this way, Sir, that we have issued no fresh instructions in regard to deviating from the track since the "Titanic" accident. 19778. I only want to get the fact; the argument will be of interest later on to the Court. Am I right in this, that you can only find reports of deviations from the track since the "Titanic" accident? - I take your word for it. I have not looked at them very carefully. 19779. It is quite clear that there are no others here? - I simply handed in the bundle as I got it from Liverpool. The Attorney-General: The first, my Lord, is on the 24th April, 1912, and it is this: "Track. Owing to the numerous ice reports received, I deemed it prudent not to go North of latitude 40° until in the vicinity of longitude 55° W. Trusting that my deviating from the usual track will meet with the approval of the management," and that is commended. The Commissioner: What vessel is that? The Attorney-General: The "Canopic," I am told. It is dated from Boston, the 24th April, 1912. The Commissioner: And the Master of that vessel, of course, had heard of the loss of the "Titanic." The Attorney-General: Quite. This is sent by him from Boston on the 24th April, and the "Titanic," as your Lordship knows, was reported on the 15th April. The other one is the "Laurentic," on a voyage Eastward, according to this. The Commissioner: These are not of much value. The Attorney-General: I think none. The Commissioner: For two reasons. In the first place they relate to a time when an extraordinary quantity of ice was apparently about; and secondly they relate to a time subsequent to the loss of the "Titanic." The Attorney-General: Quite. I do not think they are of any importance, for that reason. The Witness: I understood the Attorney-General to say, my Lord, that there is one there from the Canadian service. 19780. (The Attorney-General.) Yes, there is one in September, 1911? - Is it fair to ignore that, because the Canadian service is under the same Regulations in regard to tracks, but they have different tracks. I mean the same authority is given to the captains. The Attorney-General: That is quite right; there is one on September 24th, 1911. 19780a. (The Commissioner.) That, of course, relates to a different track? - It is a different track, my Lord, but the discretion in both cases is the same. 19780b. (The Attorney-General.) Again, you know, I do not agree with that - that the same instructions are sent. Upon the evidence the same instructions are not given? - I beg your pardon; I did not mean to say that; I said the same discretion. The Attorney-General: Discretion, yes, of course. Your Lordship will remember we had this yesterday.

Accident and Health Insurance: What Schools, Colleges and Universities Looking to Bolster Their Coverage Need to Know
Accident and health insurance can provide the additional coverage schools and other education institutions need for their students both on the athletic field and in the classroom.
By: Philadelphia Insurance Companies | August 2, 2022
When it comes to choosing the right accident and health coverage for a school or higher education facility, there are several components to review. That's because accident and health can refer to a number of different things.
"It can include employee benefits, health insurance, disability, dental and vision. It can include accident insurance for a whole host of different types of groups that are not employee/employer related," said Michael Flood, Vice President, Accident & Health Division, Philadelphia Insurance Companies.
Within that non-employee/employer related bubble, accident and health can be broken down further into three major categories: participant accident, student accident and intercollegiate sports accident.
Participant accident pertains to coverage offered to nonprofit organizations that employ volunteers who don't fall under a traditional workers' compensation policy as well as a host of other non-school based organizations that sponsor activities such as camps & clinics, childcare facilities and special events. Student and intercollegiate sports accident both provide a level of coverage for students injured while participating in school-sponsored activities and sports.
"That first category, the participant accident category, is a highly profitable niche. The loss ratios tend to be quite low." Flood explained. "For the K-12 and college and university student accident segments, claim frequency is higher. The seriousness of claims, especially for high school and college sports, also tends to be more serious. Due to the higher frequency and severity, the margins are tighter."
The intercollegiate sport accident exposure is the most difficult to underwrite. Claim activity is the most volatile and loss ratios can be exceedingly high.
For schools and higher education facilities looking for accident and health products, here's an overview of where the market stands and how organizations, especially schools, can benefit.
An Overview of the Accident & Health Insurance Market
Michael Flood, Vice President, Accident & Health Division, Philadelphia Insurance Companies
Looking at the accident and health market, Flood said capacity tends to fluctuate every five years.
"Carriers get in and out of the business," he explained. "There are a few hardcore mainstays that have been in the business for many, many years, and then there are new entrants and a few exits every four to five years."
Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY) has been in the accident and health business for seven years, with plans on staying for the long-term.
"New entrants and carriers that exit within that five-year bracket tend to leave the market because they don't understand the business well," said Flood. What has helped PHLY stand strong is its deep roots in property/casualty and general liability insurance.
"The basis for the purchase of this product is linked to property and casualty and, specifically, general liability," Flood said. "Within our property and casualty company, we insure private schools on the K-12 level and then small- to mid-size colleges and universities. Along with that property and casualty offering, we can incorporate the accident and health business as well, as well as a very robust risk management process."
"We can rely on and take pride in our suite of risk management services. PHLY's strong property and casualty background complements our A&H offerings," Flood said.
The Risk Areas Where Accident and Health Come into Play
As mentioned, team sports are one of the biggest claims drivers for accident and health in schools.
Flood said this can be even more pronounced for grades K-12: "although we see very serious injuries in the college sports segment, we tend to see an even greater frequency of very serious accidents on the high school sports level, because the athletes' size and weight can vary more."
For example, a high school footballer who is a senior could easily outweigh a high school freshman by as much as 100 pounds. In college, there tends to be more uniformity, because the athletes are all past the age of maturity.
"That size differential in high school can really create situations where you have serious injuries," Flood explained.
Off the field, students can fall victim to other risks. While less frequent, non-sport extracurricular activities are an important exposure to consider. Regrettably, fighting amongst students can lead to physical altercations and school shootings are also terrible events impacting the overall school safety environment. Accident and health insurance can aid in the costs associated with medical treatment and accidental death benefits that might be necessary.
"Parents often look at the school as the responsible party when a child is injured," said Flood. "And because of this, it's all the more important for these organizations to have not only adequate liability insurance but also accident insurance coverage.
Why Partnering with Educated Agents Is a Must
One key aspect schools and other educational institutions should be on the lookout for when it comes to their accident and health needs is partnerships with agents who know exactly what they require.
"For a cover like this, it's all well and good to have agents who can talk about and sell accident insurance," Flood said, "but there is a need that I've seen, in the last 10 to 20 years, for more education on this type of insurance."
It's key to find agents not only willing to discuss the product, but also ones who are willing to dive in and understand the ins and outs of the product and how they align with their clients' needs.
At PHLY, "our underwriting team has worked hard to be available and can spend extensive periods of time on the phone with agents in order to make sure they can relay the most accurate and helpful information to their client about our coverage," Flood said.
It is in this practice that Flood and the PHLY team are able to not only underwrite accident and health for clients but also ensure what they are providing is the best fit as well.
Once an educational institution decides on procuring accident and health coverage, the next question should be which insurer is the right fit.
"PHLY does not go through the wholesaler distribution channel. We work directly with the retail agent, and I think it brings some unique benefits," Flood explained. "First and foremost, it delivers a less expensive cost structure."
The insurer's team of underwriters is also a huge asset for partners. A team of seven, the PHLY underwriters are knowledgeable in accident and health coverage and know the business inside and out.
"This is an important facet of the business, because, in many cases, agents are very focused on placing the property and casualty business. Accident insurance can become a last-minute thought. We come in and fill the gap and turn that quote around many times the same day or next day."
The team has worked hard to round out its book of business and strives to be as knowledgeable in the three areas of accident and health for its clients.
At the end of the day, Flood said, "when an organization is equipped with an accident policy and is able to cover all its members or participants and is in the position to help pay medical bills incurred as a result of activities sponsored by that organization, it reduces the chances of litigation and instills confidence in the organization.

The Smirks are Simon Milner (lead vocals and guitar), Neil Fitzpatrick (lead guitar and vocals), Ian 'Mog' Morris (bass guitar and vocals) and Mike Doherty (drums). The band owes a great deal of its highly individual style of music and presentation to the streets of Paris. Simon and Neil ran out of money in Paris (on their way to Australia!) aarly in 1977. They then took to busking on the streets, metros, clubs and in trains. If you listen carefully to Streets which is the flip side of 'OK-UK' (BZZ17) you can hear the full story.
They finally left Paris after having established themselves as the richest buskers in Paris, and returned to Manchester. October 1977 and the Manchester music scene had dramatically changed. Ian took them to see some of the new groups most of them imnressing them tremendously (esp the Clash) since they all had the same thing they had - loads of energy. They immediately bought electric guitars, recruited Mike (who had been drumming with the Nosebleeds) and Mog of course provided bass. They did their first gig together as The Smirks at the Globe Inn in Salford on 10 December 1977...supporting a fire-eating stripper!
They were in great demand from then on and were invited to perform at the Stiff Records Talent Competition on Jan 5, 1978 at Erics club in Liverpool. They were offered several contracts immediately and finally went for Beserkley, to whom they signed in March 1978.
They then did their first tour sunporting Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias in March and then another tour in May supporting John Otway and Wild Willy Barratt. Their first single OK-UK was finally released in June. In August they went to Holland with Greg Kihn's band and played at Gronigen and then with The Boomtown Rats and The Darts at the Rotterdam free festival.
In September the Smirks began their first national tour which took them through to November and the release of their second single 'Rosemary'. That brings up to date, with the band at the Workhouse Studio in London recording the first album. It will have "about 14 tracks" and is scheduled for a February release. They are co-producing the album with Laurie Latham who works on the Ian Dury recordings.
Unfortunately a last minute change in recording plans meant that a planned Xmas tour had to be scrapped and rescheduled for Feb. Sorry! But next time we plan to take in Scotland, Wales and hopefully Ireland. If you know anyone who wants to book the band get them to phone Bob or James on 01 439 9096.
No final date allocated for 4 tracks which have just been recorded for the Kid Jensen show, see Radio Times or listen! Tracks include Rosemary, Up eh Up, Julie and Streets.
Features in Melody Maker and Record Mirror.
Radio 4 on Jan 2, 1979 Yes Radio 4 have done an hour long documentary on the Smirks under the title "It's Hard Work this Rock 'n Roll". Just heard that it will go out at 8pm on Jan 2.
Well, well, lots of activity here. As you will all know by now the band went down to London to stage a protest about the presence of Travolta at the premiere of Grease at Leicester Square. Travolta in a word sums up the blight of non-live disco music which is unfortunately still running amok in this country (and elsewhere). The man couldn't do a live gig or even sing for that matter. And he was challenged to do so at Leicester Square, to no avail. The Smirks played live music, danced, gave out badges and Smirks Against Travolta manifestoes. Simon was arrested by the police and charged with 'wilfully obstructing the free passage of the highway'. On the day of the hearing the police didn't even turn up to defend the charge so it was dismissed!
The costs were high though (legal fees, expenses for witnesses etc) and we are recouping some of these through the sale of badges. Still available from us at SAT, 182 Oxford Road, Manchester 13 they are 10p each plus sae; or from Better Badges, Box 99, 286 Portobello Road, London W10.
The other way to help is..no don't just boycott Grease etc...go to gigs, Keep Music Live!
(i) checking if Rosemary is stocked in your local shop. If not, ask them to order it. Its catalogue number is BZZ 23 and is distributed by Phonodisc. Please let us know if shops are having difficulty in obtaining it, we can then sort out the problem.
(ii) can you help get the record on the air by requesting it by either phoning in or writing to your local radio station and Radio 1. Again let us know if you have any success.
(iii) get local papers/magazines to do a Smirks piece. If any local press is done can you send us clippings?
(iv)spread the word, and hope to see you the next time the Smirks play near you! 1979 is going to be another busy year for the Smirks and hopefully even more successful - but we'll still need all the help we can get. Tell us if you think there's anything else that we could do to get the word around.


This October was pleasant temperature wise. Since temperatures were still in the 40s (5oC), I saw no reason to say good bye to some of my summer favorites. Thus, I wore my white leather pants with a nautical sweater and a jeans jacket.
Do you try to wear your summer clothes as long as possible into the fall? How do you style them fall appropriate to stay warm? Let me know by sending me an email. I am curious.

This commentary highlights the findings by Kessinger et al. (Theranostics 2011; 1: 263-275) that dynamic T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cyclic RGD peptide-encoded superparamagnetic polymeric micelle (SPPM) nanoparticles allows quantitative analysis of tumor integrin αvβ3 expression, which can exclude the effect of blood volume and extravascular signal components and thus provide less biased tumor contrast and receptor specificity of probes.

Millennials are the talk of the year with more brands opening up new specialized concept stores to satisfy this market niche. Its not really news that the 19 to 29 year olds differ from their older counterparts but what does it really mean for physical retail stores?
The 25 year old millennials look to technology to collect information online but hopes for personal touch in making the actual sale in comparison to the 35 year old that prefers online shopping more if possible.
"Gen-X and Boomer shoppers may buy online more, but Young People (a.k.a Millenials) actually use interactive technologies more for utilitarian/information gathering purposes and entertainment" - Wayfind.
Retailers need to ask themselves how to satisfy shoppers emotional experience both offline and online. This has created an interesting mixture of apparel, food and other retail brands opening flagship stores that compete with activities specifically catered for leisure times.
Online shopping has set standards that have, for better or worse, spoiled the consumer to take for granted seamless service and fast delivery without needing to pay extra price for it. Bridging the gap between comfy and fast online purchasing with the real world's ruggedness (in the real world we are humans after all) is a challenge to be overcome in the upcoming years.
Physical locations aren't anymore about "brick" and "mortar" but also about the technology seamlessly integrated into consumption. Stores themselves need to continue the communication that has been happening online when consumer steps into the store.
Qminder helps physical locations make consumer experience more personal and gives customer insight through a simple cloud based queue management system.

HELLO! Highlights XFE Founder
Former Sniper Opens UK's first Sniper Activity Centre
From Seaman to Seafood
After training as a chef in the Royal Navy, Jamie Savage (33) has now launched his first pop-up restaurant in Macclesfield, specialising in mussels.
In 'Savages Mussels', Jamie combines mussels with modern flavours and is attracting quite a following from food-lovers. The restaurant has a permanent pitch at Altrincham Market and can pop-up anywhere in the region, from markets to festivals.
Jamie joined the Royal Navy in 2005 and served as a Chef on board HMS Northumberland for the most part of his career which included four deployments. The type-23 frigate was engaged in the intense anti-piracy operations in the gulf of Aden, years during which Jamie enjoyed the challenge of cooking for the ship's 180 crew members.
"I joined the Royal Navy as a Chef as I wanted to test my ability to cook in an environment I wasn't used to and gain experience from some of my superior chefs".
Leading Chef Savage receiving his Certificate of Advancement from Cdr Paddy Allen, July 2010
Jamie rose to the rate of Kilick Chef and began to consider new culinary challenges that may lie for him in hotels. Redundancies were on the table and in 2011, Jamie took the opportunity to try a new path.
"I didn't fancy furthering my career as a Petty Officer, being constrained to an office. I continued to grow my skills with a few Head Chef roles in the interim years but I'd had the idea of a pop-up restaurant in mind since the Navy. I wanted to showcase my own work, getting the praise myself rather than my bosses."
Setting up 'Savages Mussels' in early 2018 – his multi-faceted owner role being to combine designing menus, ordering, cooking, serving customers and financial management – hasn't been without it's challenges. Jamie admits he is learning every day.
"Being a pop-up format, operating from markets and outdoor sites, my biggest challenge so far has been the provision of electric and gas. Power going during service, gas on the fryer running out, not noting customer's location, forgetting to order change from the bank; these things can make the difference between a good and bad day."
X-Forces Enterprise helped Jamie with financial planning and initial set-up funding for the business, via the Start Up Loans Company, enabling him to leave his job with a private jet dining operation.
"Although I was mostly set up for my pop-up events the opportunity arose to take on a permanent stall at Altrincham Market and Macclesfield's Treacle Market. It was a risk to leave my job and go for it. This is where X-Forces has really helped me. I can pay my stall fees and buy my produce without having to worry about cashflow. Being part of the XFE network has also helped to raise awareness of the brand, and attain further pop-up event opportunities."
'Savages Mussels' can be found at Altrincham Market every Saturday and Sunday, as well as pop-up locations around Macclesfield and Manchester.

A cool functional look and heading towards the mountains…that is music to Sven Kueenle's ears. The German free-skier legend shares his thoughts with Bogner about his passion fof skiing, his true calling.
"We free-skiers care that everything looks cool and relaxed when we're headed to the mountains," Sven explains of his style. "At the same time, every piece has to function perfectly." It makes sense: the photos taken of Sven during his legendary expeditions would not be the same were it not for the cool Bogner gear he was wearing.

Q: Interpret residuals in random and fixed effects models in meta-analysis How to interpret residuals in random and fixed effects models? I am a medical doctor. Kindly explain in simple words.
Updated Here is an example:
Weight (Fixed)      Weight (Random)    Residual (Fixed)      Residual (Random)
Relative weight    Relative weight     Std Residual         Std Residual

32.27                21.56               -4.61                -1.62
25.14                21.02               -0.41                -0.46
18.52                20.21               2.16                  0.52
14.39                19.39               2.10                  0.62
 9.68                17.81               2.56                  1.04

A: As @suncooolsu has already pointed out, we need more information. Residuals are often used when it comes to identifying outliers and to gain a better understanding of the appropriateness of a certain model (here: FEM vs REM). Given your "Std Residual", I would say that a REM seems more appropriate. However, you definitely might want to check other heterogeneity tests (e.g., Q, I^2).
Recently Viechtbauer/Cheung (2010) have published a really nice article on "Outlier and influence diagnostics for meta-analysis" (see esp. section 3).

Q: Average case complexity - calculation for linear algorithm Just a quick question:
If I have a linear search algorithm (which will go through every element once up to a certain condition), how can I calculate the average case complexity for n = 500? The worst case and best case is easy.

A: The average case is similarly simple: as long as the items you're finding are unique, on average you will have to look halfway through the list + 0.5.
Let's assume that you look up every item in the list once.  When you look up the first item, you will have to inspect 1 item.  When you look up the second item, you will have to inspect 2 items, and so forth.  The total number of inspections is
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 500 = 125250

So with 500 lookups, you will total 125250 items inspected.  On average, that is 250.5 inspections per lookup.
If your lookup patterns are nonuniform then that will skew your average case (for example, if you look up items at the beginning of the list more often, or if some items are repeated and finding any of them is sufficient)

A: The average case complexity of a linear search algorithm is n+2
where n is the number of elements in the list.


Kaelyn: Mine no want eggs. Mine want cake.
Me: Eat your eggs and tomorrow you can have another donut.
Kaelyn gets down from the table. Bryce, in the mean time is on his third donut. They are only the mini kind from the bag at the grocery store, and he likes a big breakfast. He had already eaten pancakes, eggs, and yogurt. So Kaelyn is mad that Bryce got 3 donuts, and she only got 1, plus Adam took Bryce to school without letting her come along since it was 18 degrees outside this morning, so we did not get off to a very good start.
2 hours later. Adam is gone. I'm cleaning out the girls' closet.
Kaelyn gets her stool, climbs up, and gets down the donuts. As most of you know, Bryce is REALLY freaked out about eating or drinking after another person. He refuses to eat anything if Kaelyn so much as touches it. So... being the clever little thing that she is... she proceeds to line the donuts, one by one around the coffee table. The ENTIRE bag! And no, she wasn't finished yet. After lining them up, she decided to take just ONE bite out of each and every one. That's Kaelyn. Silent but deadly.
An unsuspecting me comes walking down the hall, only to find the trail of powdered sugar, and the organized mess in my living room.
Me: KAELYN! What are you doing?
Kaelyn: Mine eat cake. Bubba no eat cake.

The Green Party needed nearly 50,000 signatures to make it onto the November ballot in Texas. It got about 500.
The Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians were the only three parties that secured statewide ballot access this year.
by Alex Samuels May 30, 2018 9 AM
Primary election day at a polling place in South Austin on March 6, 2018. Bob Daemmrich for The Texas Tribune
When Texans head to the ballot box this November, they'll be able to vote for Republicans, Democrats or Libertarians.
If they want to choose a candidate affiliated with another political group, they might have to write in the name of their chosen candidate. That's because five other political parties seeking to get on the ballot — America's Party of Texas, the Christian Party of Texas, the Green Party of Texas, None of the Above and the Texas Independent Party — didn't secure the 47,183 valid signatures needed for ballot access this fall.
"We only got like 400 or 500 signatures out of the 50,000 that we need," said Jan Richards, a Green Party of Texas candidate who's running for governor.
"It's a challenge. There's really no other way to describe it — and they definitely don't make it easy," said Andy Prior, the former state chairman for America's Party of Texas who's also the party's nominee for land commissioner. According to its website, America's Party supports a pro-life and pro-liberty platform. It collected fewer than 250 signatures.
All five of the parties that missed out filed the necessary paperwork with the Texas Secretary of State's office to gain ballot access this November, spokesman Sam Taylor said. That kicked off a 75-day period that began March 13 to get the signatures needed. But when the deadline passed at midnight Wednesday, none had collected enough.
Getting the nearly 50,000 signatures is an uphill battle for most parties outside the mainstream because they're essentially competing with each other for ballot access, said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University. The signatures must come from registered voters who didn't vote in either the March 6 Republican or Democratic primaries or participate in another party's 2018 convention.
"You've got to dragoon them as they're on their way into the grocery store or the shopping mall," Jillson said. "[The parties] are competing for the same team of voters to sign their petitions, and because Texas has such low voter turnout, it's a big pool of people — it's just that those people are not closely connected to or don't care much about politics."
And getting the names can be costly. Both Richards and Prior said they collected names through volunteers and one-on-one outreach. Had Prior hired a company to get the required 47,183 signatures by the the May 29 deadline, it would've cost his party upwards of $300,000 — around $5 or $6 per signature, he said.
"People who donate to political things want to donate based upon an actual candidate on the ballot," Prior said. "Most people don't really think about spending money to get ballot access in the first place."
In order to get their candidates on the general election ballot without a petition, parties must have at least one candidate win more than 5 percent of the vote in a statewide race during the previous election cycle. Libertarian petroleum engineer Mark Miller barely cleared that hurdle for his party in 2016, winning 5.3 percent of the vote in the race against Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian.
The two parties other than the Democrats and Republicans that often collect enough votes in the previous election to secure ballot access for the following cycle are the Libertarians and the Greens.
But the Green Party, which runs on a liberal platform and is sometimes blamed for siphoning off votes from Democratic candidates, fell short in 2016 after Democrats fielded candidates in every statewide judicial race for the first time since 2010. The Green Party typically has relied on judicial races that lack Democratic candidates to reach the 5 percent threshold.
There's a last-ditch effort parties can utilize to get elected into office next year: filing a declaration of write-in candidacy with either the secretary of state's office or with the county judge, depending on the offices sought.
The window to file declarations is from July 21 through Aug. 20, Taylor said. A representative from the Greens confirmed to The Texas Tribune that they plan to file the necessary paperwork to have at least one of their candidates eligible as a write-in this fall. Spokespeople from the Christian Party of Texas, None of the Above and the Texas Independent Party did not respond to requests for comment.
"It's really important to me that we offer an alternative solution to what's already going to be on the ballot," said Richards, the Green Party gubernatorial candidate. "I want to try to speak for people who might not already have a voice on the ballot."

I applaud Day's attempt to remove belief from the realm of the mind and to reconstitute it in terms of social pragmatics. However, Day's emphasis on belief presentation remains problematically psychologistic. To escape the Machiavellian implications and to restore dignity to belief, a relational formulation is invited.

Zombies, Trolls, and Things Under the Bed – My Favourite Book Monsters
April 1, 2018 By Dawn Burdett
Are you afraid of monsters? Common sense tells us that we should be if they were real, but luckily, they aren't! Because of this, we can enjoy stories about these fictional creatures, even if they make our hearts stop at times. Many great children's authors have tales about monsters, and we've taken the time to pick out some of our favorite characters from these stories.
Below are a few of the stories that inspired my children's tale of a group of friends overcoming a mini-zombie apocalypse. Mommy Zombie Apocalypse by DM Burdett
The Wild Things – "Where the Wild Things Are"
By Maurice Sendack
Technically, this is a group of monsters rather than a single character. Still, the Wild Things are a fun-loving outfit that take a young boy, Max, under their wing after he mysteriously ends up in their magical habitat. We love these monsters because they started as scary beasts but eventually learned to love Max and treat him as a friend. Where the Wild Things Are has some of the most unique illustrations of any children's book, and the monsters are a major part of that.
The Goon – "Goodnight Goon"
By Michael Rex
If you grew up reading Goodnight Moon, you'll adore this hilarious parody. The goon runs rampant across the black lagoon, causing mischief and making for a wild night for all of the monsters. This is an energizing monster parody that can be enjoyed by lifelong fans of the original book, and parents and children will be laughing throughout the night as the Goon endears himself to them.
The Grinch – "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
By Dr Seuss
Dr. Seuss has plenty of whacky characters in his repertoire, but the Grinch is our favorite of the antagonists. A grumpy green jerk, the Grinch makes plans to ruin Christmas for all of the residents of Whoville. After many foibles, mistakes, and hilarious embarrassments, the Grinch has a change of heart and becomes less of a scary character.
Bunnicula – "Bunnicula" series
By Deborah Howe and James Howe
Based on the much scarier Dracula, Bunnicula is a rabbit whose reign of terror is based on him sucking the juices out of vegetables. This hilarious series of books follows Bunnicula and his family as he wreaks havoc on all the veggies in the land, terrifying cat and dog who think he is, in fact, a vampire.
Shrek – "Shrek"
By William Steig
You may know him from the movies, but this famous ogre actually first appeared in a book of his own. It tells the same tale as the original film, but with some differences throughout the course of the story. In the big, Shrek is still a goofy, lovable ogre with a heart of gold.
The Gruffalo – "The Gruffalo"
By Julia Donaldson
The Gruffalo was supposed to be a make-believe character made up by a meek little mouse who was just trying to scare off his attackers. When he finds out that the Gruffalo is real, he's in for a treat! The Gruffalo is a hilarious and heartwarming tale about friendship and courage, and the monster created in the story is not so much scary as he is innocent and hilarious.

Q: Is there a trick to pressing the "u" button in the Surface Pro 2 on-screen keyboard? I find it exceedingly difficult to hit the U on the on-screen keyboard on my Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1.  Here are the specific symptoms:

*

*very carefully tapping directly over the on-screen U usually results in a "y" character

*compensating by tapping slightly further to the right on the screen usually result in an "i" character

*starting over the Y and successively tapping my way over to the P a constant 1/4 of a key width at a a time yields this string: "yyyyyyyyiiiooooppppp" -- note that u was not pressed once and Y is much wider than the others.

Things I've tried with no noticeable difference:

*

*calibrating both pen and touch

*turning tablet 180 degrees

Is there something I can do to make my on-screen U usable?

A: Update the Wacom Enhanced Tablet Driver
Upgrading to the Wacom-distributed driver for Surface Pro 2 "Enhanced Tablet Driver 7.2.1-24" seems to have fixed this problem.  That drivers seems to work better than whatever driver was coming through the automatic Windows Updates.

Produced and directed by filmmaker Bill Morrison, "let me come in" features a new song by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang performed by soprano Angel Blue, one of opera's brightest stars. The short film incorporates rediscovered (and heavily damaged) footage from the lost 1928 silent film Pawns of Passion to astonishing effect. Filmmaker Bill Morrison, director of the highly acclaimed films Decasia and Dawson City: Frozen Time, has long been fascinated with ancient, decayed nitrate film stock from long-forgotten films—what he describes as "goopy, sticky films deemed not worth saving." For "let me come in," he has resurrected footage from what may be the last surviving reels of the 1928 German silent romance Pawns of Passion, discovered in a Pennsylvania barn in 2012. After decades of expanding in hot summers and contracting in freezing winters, the deteriorated nitrate film stock now reveals, in Morrison's words, "imagery that seems to be pulled from a state of semi-consciousness, asleep but dreaming." Morrison describes Lang's song as "a rumination on love and the borderline separating two souls, seemingly from the precipice of consciousness. When I heard Angel Blue's incredible interpretation, my mind immediately recalled the ambiguous tension in this scene from Pawns of Passion.Left to rot in a barn, and then scanned and archived again for another eight years on my own personal hard drive, it has found a new life through David's words and music, and Angel Blue's voice. It was very exciting to see how quickly it came together and how perfectly the image, words and sound meshed." Director Bill Morrison joins us for conversation on his inspired interpretation of hauntingly beautiful film fragments.
http://www.kuci.org/podcastfiles/683/FS-5-6-21%20Morrison%20-%20Let%20Me%20Come%20In.mp3
"let me come in" will receive its broadcast premiere as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival on May 7.
About the filmmaker – Bill Morrison makes films that reframe long-forgotten moving images. His films have premiered at the New York, Rotterdam, Sundance, and Venice film festivals. In 2014 Morrison had a mid-career retrospective at MoMA. His found footage opus Decasia (2002) was the first film of the 21st century to be selected to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. The Great Flood (2013),was recognized with the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award of 2014 for historical scholarship. Dawson City: Frozen Time (2016) was included on over 100 critics' lists of the best films of the year, and on numerous lists ranking the best films of the decade, including those of the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times and Vanity Fair. His work has previously been seen at LA Opera in productions of David Lang's "anatomy theater" (2016) and David T. Little's Soldier Songs (2019). Co-presented by Los Angeles Opera with composer David Lang and soprano Angel Blue. Special thanks to the Library of Congress National Audio-Visual Conservation Center.

Significant development has been made within the research of third-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D QSAR) because the first e-book by means of Richard Cramer in 1988 and the 1st quantity within the sequence, 3D QSAR in Drug layout. conception, tools and functions, released in 1993. the purpose of that early ebook was once to give a contribution to the knowledge and the additional program of CoMFA and comparable methods and to facilitate the right use of those tools. because then, enormous quantities of papers have seemed utilizing the speedy constructing concepts of either 3D QSAR and computational sciences to check a large number of organic difficulties. back the editor(s) felt that the time had come to solicit stories on released and new viewpoints to rfile the state-of-the-art of 3D QSAR in its broadest definition and to supply visions of the place new suggestions will emerge or new appli- tions could be came across. The purpose isn't just to focus on new principles but in addition to teach the shortcomings, inaccuracies, and abuses of the tools. we are hoping this ebook will permit others to split trivial from visionary methods and me-too method from in- vative suggestions. those matters guided our selection of participants. To our satisfaction, our demand papers elicited a superb many manuscripts.
