Dancers performing in the special China Exchange and Goldsmith's Confucius Institute of Dance and Performance were given a surprise last Friday when it was revealed that acclaimed dancer and choreographer of this year's Big Dance Pledge routine, Akram Khan watched them as part of the audience.
The performance was part of the Big Dance Pledge Performance day, where over 40,000 people perform the same routine on the same day from wherever they are in the world. The dancers performed a unique Chinese interpretation of Akram's original routine to an invited audience of their friends and family.
The short show was the culmination of their participation in four weekly workshops where they learned the choreography and developed a better understanding of Chinese dance. Many of the group had never danced in front of an audience before.
So as not to make the group nervous, China Exchange CEO, Freya did not mention the VIP guest until the performance was over. Akram then took the chance to congratulate each of the dancers before posing for photos and joining the celebration of the group's achievements.

President Trump Had Every Right To Call Out Judge Robart – He Used The Law To Kill The Law – Putting NATIONAL SECURITY AT RISK.
February 9, 2017 by IWB
by Pamela Williams
What is done is done, and there can be no going back. I do want to go over some points that are outstanding in President Trump's "immigration ban." Number one is that President Trump had the right to issue and Executive Order on National Security without being questioned. No other President in history has been treated as unfairly as Donald Trump.
Number two Donald Trump had every right to criticize liberal Judge Robart, who used his power of the law to kill President Trump's power of the law in placing an Executive Order to protect National Security. President Trump's power of the law trumped Judge Robart's power of the law. Judge Robart is not privy to the National Intelligence President Trump is privy to. No other President has been ignored and treated in such an unruly manner.
Number three when President Trump fired Sally Yates, he fired a traitor in the US Government. She clearly told on herself by replacing the laws passed by the Representatives of We The People and the Constitution WITH HER OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCES. In her own words, she refused to defend President Trump's executive order, because she did not think it was "right"…with no regard for the Constitution. It would not surprise me if Yates was put in her position in the DOJ by someone who owned someone a favor. When we got rid of Loretta Lynch, we were hoping for a better representative of the DOJ. Now that Jeff Sessions has been sworn in, I am sure we will start to see a much needed change take place in the DOJ.
Number four the Liberals are stepping on a Conservative President who was chosen by the American people who were clearly sick of Liberals controlling the Country. Nevertheless, we are being pushed around by Liberals all over again.
www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/02/when_trump_fired_sally_yates_he_fired_a_traitor.html
What makes these liberal rejections of the rule of law even worse is their massive hypocrisy. The same liberals who say A.G.s don't need to defend laws they don't like tell us that in private practice, lawyers are required to use every legal technicality they can to ensure that child rapists get off scot-free. During the election, liberals told us Hillary had a moral obligation to use legal chicanery to ensure that a 41-year-old man who raped a 12-year-old girl had to serve only a few months in prison.
Yet those same liberals tell us that lawyers in the government are morally obliged to not defend laws they don't like. That's right: in the minds of liberals, lawyers have an obligation to help murders and rapists but not to defend laws they personally don't like. That's either telling us liberals really like child rapists, which seems unlikely, or that they're hypocrites when they say people like Yates are doing the right thing.
The liberal hypocrisy also shows through in the case of Kim Davis, a government clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Liberals told us she was a monster. But when "sanctuary" cities refuse to follow the law, those same liberals commend them. Clearly thinking they are able to pick and choose what laws to follow but others aren't shows the tyranny at the heart of modern "liberalism."
Further review of the fact that President Trump had every right to declare his Executive Order due to National Security the following makes very clear. It, also, makes it very clear that Judge Robart and Sally Yates failed the President and the American people. Unfortunately, this cannot be corrected, and our Country may pay the consequences.

President Trump acted well within his constitutional and statutory authority to issue his executive order. "The exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty," the Supreme Court concluded in a 1950 case. "The right to do so stems not alone from legislative power, but is inherent in the executive power to control the foreign affairs of the nation. When Congress prescribes a procedure concerning the admissibility of aliens, it is not dealing alone with a legislative power. It is implementing an inherent executive power."
Congress reaffirmed the president's power with respect to decisions excluding aliens in the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), which was originally enacted in 1952, and has been amended several times, including in 1996. The following language has remained intact: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." (8 U.S.C. § 1182(f)).
President Trump's executive order, in the interest of protecting national security, directed changes to the policy and process of admitting non-citizens into the United States. It was intended to provide a period of review for relevant agencies to evaluate current procedures and to propose and implement new procedures. The purpose falls squarely within the president's constitutional and statutory authority and responsibility, as stated in the executive order, "to ensure that those approved for admission do not intend to harm Americans and that they have no ties to terrorism."
Judge Robart exceeded his judicial authority and has potentially put Americans at needless risk. If the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals does not promptly reverse his reckless decision, the Department of Justice will need to take this case directly to the Supreme Court.
In conclusion, I feel that I have proven that Judge Robart improperly used the law to kill the actual rule of law. He should be disbarred, and President Trump and the American people are owed a great apology, especially by Sally Yates and Judge Robart.

Sophos: Facebook to terminate its old look, makes Timeline mandatory for users
Sophos has revealed that Facebook is phasing out its old look in next few weeks and making the new profile format mandatory for all users – known as 'Timeline' – which presents a scrapbook of all past status updates and photographs. Sophos research claims that more than 50 percent of internet users are concerned about the Facebook profile update.
The online Sophos poll surveyed more than 4,100 global respondents on their opinion of the Facebook Timeline. Key findings from the research include- 51 percent are worried by the Facebook Timeline; Only 8 percent like the new Facebook Timeline; 8 percent say they will get used to it; and 32 percent still don't know why they are on Facebook.
Graham Cluley, Sr. Technology Consultant, Sophos said, "The Facebook Timeline will be a wake-up call to some that they have shared too much in the past, too freely. In my case, the Timeline was the catalyst to reassess my relationship with Facebook – and so I've killed my account. If nothing else, Facebook users should take this opportunity to re-evaluate what they share online. It is time to spring clean your Facebook account and online friend relationships, and ensures that you are only sharing what you want to share, with who you want to share it with. After all, a website which holds details on your entire life, likes and loves, is gold dust to scammers."

Oracle utilities Meter-to-Cash Applications demonstrate Unprecedented Throughput
Oracle has announced the unprecedented ability to process more than one billion records and generate 500,000 customer bills within an eight-hour nightly window using Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing, Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management and Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway – integrated using Oracle Application Integration Architecture and running on Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud X2-2. The test data was a subset extracted from 30 billion interval meter reads.
The test, designed according to real business scenarios, processed data reported from 10 million smart meters, each reporting nearly 100 reads per day, which is representative of the daily processing needs for a typical utility service provider.
The test used one month of historical meter data via Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (30 billion meter readings) and a six-month billing history on Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing (60 million bills). The test billed each account using three different rates (simulating "peak," "shoulder" and "off-peak" rates).
"New technologies and business processes are dramatically increasing the volume of data utilities handle during the meter-to-cash process. This test – the only one of its kind to date – proves that Oracle's complete, integrated mission-critical software solutions running on Oracle's engineered systems help utilities correctly size their data warehouses to process the high volumes of consumption data generated by smart meters. That data, in the end, helps utilities help their customers to monitor and manage energy use with greater flexibility and control," said Rodger Smith, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Oracle Utilities.

ISB Alumnus, Athletics Star and Record Breaker
Stories ISB Alumnus, Athletics Star and Record Breaker
Academics (22)
Amanda Giles is an International School Bangkok (ISB) graduate from the Class of 2013. As an ISB Panther, she was best known for her prowess on the athletic fields, staying active in football (soccer), touch rugby, and track & field. A five-time IASAS champion as well as an IASAS track & field record holder, Amanda was part of a group of female student-athletes at ISB who won three championships in one school year – the first time this had ever been accomplished at our international school in Bangkok, Thailand.
After graduating from ISB, Amanda attended the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado from 2013-2018. Initially majoring in mathematics, Giles discovered computer science along the way, and she ended up graduating with a double major in these two disciplines.
Amid this busy schedule at the Colorado School of Mines, Amanda found the time to continue her athletic career, competing in the school's track & field program. She specialized in the heptathlon, a combined event where each athlete participates in seven different running and field events. Amanda found her university track experience to be a welcome break from academic demands. As she put it: "Showing up to college can be isolating, so finding networks and community through extracurriculars is incredibly important."
After graduation, Amanda started her career in a rotational program for software engineers, at the media company Comcast NBCUniversal. This job allowed her to work with different teams across the United States, using a variety of new technologies. The first rotation found Ms. Giles working on the coast in Silicon Valley, while her current position has her living in New York and working on a data science team that forecasts TV viewership in order to assist the part of the company that sells TV commercial time. Amanda's journey will continue and her career is only beginning.
Value-Driven and Globally-Minded
Amanda Giles's athletic career is also going full speed ahead, most recently with an impressive run in the New York City Marathon. This was Amanda's first marathon, which she completed with a time of 3:37.07 – finishing in the top 15% of the 50,000+ runners who competed in the event. Amanda fundraised some US $3,000 for The Arthritis Foundation, ensuring that her memorable run would help this worthwhile cause.
Here at International School Bangkok, we are immensely proud of Amanda and what she has accomplished thus far. We applaud her value-driven efforts, and globally-minded spirit, as she presses onward to reach her true potential in her career, as an athlete, and as a global citizen. We believe that these and other ISB attributes provide an important foundation that guides our students through their day-to-day lives, long after they graduate.
Amanda Giles continues to push the envelope so that she can be the best possible version of herself. We are incredibly proud of you, Amanda. You are a true ISB Panther!

Insurgents inciting Kurds in Mosul
Insurgents battling in the northern city of Mosul have been trying to drag the Kurdish minority into their fight and set off a sectarian war, Kurdish and Arab officials say.

Insurgents battling U.S. and Iraqi forces in the northern city of Mosul have been trying to drag the Kurdish minority into their fight and set off a sectarian war, Kurdish and Arab officials say.
Violence against Kurds has escalated in recent days, officials say. The offices — and officials — of Kurdish political parties have been attacked. Insurgents fired on a truck carrying Kurdish peshmerga fighters. And at least one Kurd was said to have been beheaded in Mosul, a largely Sunni Arab city.
"They are trying to ignite the flames of sedition between Arabs and Kurds," Khasro Gouran, Mosul's Kurdish deputy provincial governor, said by telephone from Mosul. "They want the Kurds to react and the peshmerga to come in (from outside Mosul) so there would be sectarian strife in the city."
"They won't succeed because the Kurdish leadership is aware of their plans," Gov. Duraid Kashmoula, an Arab, said of the insurgents.
The Kurds are not the only ones under attack. During the latest bout of violence, masked men have stormed police stations, looting and burning some. They've also set up their own checkpoints and set cars ablaze, prompting the Americans to launch military operations to oust fighters from their stronghold in the city.
Gouran said that in recent days three Kurds were killed, including at least one whose decapitated body was discovered with the head placed on the back.
Secular parties vs. Islamic, Baath extremists
The two main Iraqi Kurdish parties are mostly secular U.S. allies that have a bloody history of animosity with some militant Islamic groups and Baath Party loyalists, both believed to be active in the Mosul insurgency. The parties have long been targets.
The Kurdish minority generally lives in peace with Mosul's Arab majority, although land and property disputes have in the past created some tensions.
When the militants overpowered Mosul's police force, which U.S. and Iraqi officials say is infiltrated by insurgents, the local government called in reinforcements, some of which came from the mostly quiet Kurdish region.
Gouran said some of the Iraqi National Guard reinforcements rushed to the city came from the Kurdish provinces of Dohuk and Irbil. He said many of their members were former peshmerga, a term that refers to the Kurdish militia that fought former Baghdad governments.
In addition, Kurdish political parties called in peshmerga fighters to guard their offices. The Kurdish militia proved harder for insurgents to overpower than the police — in some cases killing or capturing their attackers.
The solution offered its own problems: The fact that many of the National Guardsmen were Kurds and former peshmerga members didn't sit well with some of the city's Arab residents.
Kurdish and Arab officials took pains to stress that National Guardsmen were members of Iraq's security forces regardless of their ethnicity or their religion and that no peshmerga fighters were patrolling the streets.
"The Kurds have no intention to take over Mosul or to 'Kurdicize' it," Gouran said. "The relationship between Kurds and Arabs in Mosul is strong."
'We don't accept strangers'
Such assurances fail to ease the concerns of some.
"There has been an escalation in armed attacks against the Kurds and this proves that the Arabs don't agree to let the Kurds control the situation in the city, " said Salem Ghanim Aziz, an Arab resident.
He said that having Kurdish forces could complicate matters, arguing that Arab residents might want to take revenge against the Kurdish fighters from the north that some blame for taking part in the looting that swept through Mosul when it fell during last year's U.S.-led invasion.
"This is an Arab city and we don't accept strangers," said another Arab resident, who identified himself only as Abu Omar. He said he doesn't accept the presence of Kurdish National Guardsmen any more than that of the militants.
Some Kurdish residents said they heard Arab neighbors gloating over recent attacks on the Kurdish parties.
Officials say such sentiments are not widespread and mostly come from Arabs who belonged to the former regime, pointing to Arab-Kurdish intermarriages and amicable relations in the city.
"People say that the Kurds have ethnic designs on the city," said an Arab provincial council member who didn't want his name used for fear of retaliation. "But some of these people have Wahhabi thoughts and others are the disadvantaged members of the former regime who wear the mask of Arab nationalism."
Avoiding another Fallujah
Similarly, he said, some were circulating rumors that other security reinforcements dispatched from Baghdad were Shiites coming to rule over the Sunni majority.
He said the reinforcements were only trying to "prevent Mosul from becoming another Fallujah."
Many in Mosul say they are tired of the violence that has shattered the normalcy of their lives and restricted their movement under a curfew imposed on the city.
One Arab resident who asked that his name not be used said he wanted calm to return to Mosul, be it at Kurdish or Arab hands.
"Don't they say this is a unified Iraq? Let them come from the north or the south as long as they restore security," he said. "Let's forget this talk about ethnicity and religion."
"We're living in hell," he said. "We want to able to go out to the market. We're sick of this."

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota ask victims of…
Federal prosecutors in Minnesota ask victims of 'porn troll' attorneys to submit claims for possible restitution
By Mara H. Gottfried | mgottfried@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press
PUBLISHED: April 29, 2019 at 4:39 p.m. | UPDATED: April 29, 2019 at 4:42 p.m.
Two lawyers accused of "porn trolling" are due to be sentenced in Minneapolis next month and people scammed by them may be able to get money back, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office of Minnesota.
Paul Hansmeier and John Steele were convicted of orchestrating a multi-million dollar fraud scheme.
They baited Internet users with porn movies, some they filmed themselves, in order to sue them for copyright infringement when the user tried to download the movie, according to court documents.
When Hansmeier and Steele are sentenced on June 4, the court could require them to pay restitution to the people affected, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Federal prosecutors are asking people who paid Steele Hansmeier Law, Prenda Law, Alpha Law, Anti-Piracy Group, AF Holdings, Ingenuity 13, Guava LLC, Livewire or LW Systems as part of the scheme to file a claim at hansmeier.usaocrimevictims.org. They said victim information will not be released to the public.

I went to Tallinn City library this afternoon. It's small, but a nice place, good fancy ceilings, some nice rooms with nice chairs and old books, the wifi is good, lots of power sockets, very quiet. I hung out with my laptop for about an hour and a half. Just before 5.30pm I realised I had thought the library closes at 5, but hey I guess not. A short while later I packed up my stuff and went downstairs.
The front door was locked. All the lights were off. Not a soul was in sight.
I went back upstairs to ask the other person sitting on her laptop there if she this was normal and she knew another way out. She did not. We wandered around and tried a few doors.
Haha. We were locked in the library. It didn't open again until Monday.
We proceeded to call and email every contact number on the library webpage we could find. She also called the 24h Tallinn city general helpline, and they promised to call back. She called her mother, who called someone she knew who worked at a different library, who also promised to call back.
Meanwhile we found a window that was big enough to climb through and not too far off the ground to jump out if necessary. We decided this or calling the police would be an absolute last resort.
We made an effort to get through to the pub next door, in case they either happened to have a spare key or the library employees had gone there after work.. but no answer.
M and I introduced ourselves, and bonded over veganism (<3!) and travel and chocolate and the small art display in the library we would not have bothered to look at if we weren't trapped there.
M's family members turned up outside the window, and went to see if anyone was in the pub who could help.
The city helpline called back and said the director had been contacted and was on her way, but lived 30 minutes away.
She eventually showed up, and turned out to be a distant relative of M, and the daughter of the person M's mother had called earlier! It's a small country. She was accompanied by a surly security guard who took photos of our IDs. Apparently we'd set of a silent alarm when we opened the window earlier and security were already quietly surrounding the building.
Then they let us out and I had dinner with M and her family at a nearby veg*n buffet.

Sonja Morgan's riches to rags story absolutely rocked The Real Housewives of New York. The star found herself embroiled in a devastating bankruptcy case following her divorce from J.P. Morgan heir John Morgan. It lasted nearly five years, and as fans of the show know, the star's decision to move out of her townhouse was a painful plot point.
According to E! News, Sonja filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010, and somehow, actor John Travolta was involved. Why? Her production company, Sonja Productions, reportedly took a major hit after she backed a Travolta flick called Flash Flash to Bang Time in partnership with another company called Hannibal Pictures. The film never happened because she allegedly couldn't meet Travolta's demands. Hannibal Pictures ended up suing her and winning a cool $7 million.
In June 2015, Sonja clawed her way out of her massive debt. According to Enews, she wound up paying about $9 million — significantly less than the nearly $20 million she initially owed. However, she was reportedly sued by her bankruptcy attorney in 2017 for about $350K, so that doesn't bode well.

'For Me, From Me' Diamond Ad Campaign Debuts During E!'s Oscar Coverage
The Diamond Producers Association's "For Me, From Me" ad campaign made its debut yesterday during E! News' highly rated coverage of the 91st Academy Awards.
"For Me, From Me" is a campaign inspired by the ever-growing segment of the market represented by women who buy diamonds for themselves. The group now accounts for one-third of the $43 billion diamond jewelry market.
E! viewers were introduced to the new lifestyle videos via an innovative picture-in-picture presentation. This is a technique where — just before scheduled commercial breaks — the show coverage and DPA video were shown on the screen simultaneously.
In addition, elements of the campaign were seen in photo gallery takeovers on E!'s Instagram page and at EOnline.com.
Kristina Buckley Kayel, DPA's managing director for North America, noted that "For Me, From Me" represents the third wave of the Real is Rare, Real is a Diamond campaign. The previous campaigns helped establish diamonds as the ultimate symbol of realness and authenticity in love and in life.
"Our latest campaign celebrates the distinct pride and joy women feel in purchasing a diamond for themselves, a celebration of self that is beautifully embodied by the enduring qualities of a natural diamond," she said. "It's timely for the diamond industry to acknowledge the different needs and mindset of the female self-purchaser, and position itself optimally to service her."
Kayel explained that the qualitative research conducted by DPA in 2018 uncovered the key reasons why women consider natural diamonds the ultimate self-luxury: They can be worn every day with any outfit, they last a lifetime and can be passed down, and they are a good investment because they retain their value.
The $10 million to $15 million campaign is set to run through September and will include TV, digital and print components.

Waiting For Martin's Next (Big) Steps
By Ted Hearn
In December, a politically divided Federal Communications Commission adopted rules that give franchising authorities 90 days to act on cable entry petitions filed by phone companies and others with pre-existing access to rights of way.
But pressuring local governments to act swiftly on the cable franchise applications of companies like AT&T and Verizon Communications could be just a baby step in FCC chairman Kevin Martin's ongoing march to overhaul cable competition policy.
The biggest step would be a ruling by the Martin-led commission that AT&T's Internet Protocol-TV offering is an interstate service. That would have the effect of sweeping aside any actions taken by the 50 states — including the ones that have gone to statewide franchising to appease the deployment schedules of AT&T and Verizon.
Another big step: the FCC could declare that IPTV is an information service, just like digital subscriber line, cable-modem service and dial-up Internet access. That would be a gamechanger because, as a rule, the FCC doesn't regulate information service providers. Nor do the states.
If either step were to be taken, the FCC would effectively be saying that IPTV isn't a cable service within the meaning of federal law. If IPTV isn't a cable service, then none of the key cable provisions found in Title VI of the Communications Act would apply, including franchising requirements; franchise fee obligations; mandatory carriage of local TV stations; program access rules; public access and leased access channel set-asides; and local approval of IPTV system sales. In short, regulatory nirvana for IPTV providers.
AT&T (when it was SBC Inc.) mentioned in FCC filings just three cable rules it thought would apply to IPTV: closed captioning mandates, retransmission consent from TV stations and equal employment opportunity standards. As to buildout requirements, level playing field laws and the like, AT&T's view was this: Forget about it.
After almost two years in office, Martin has said very little on this subject. Last month, he indicated in a talk at a legal education forum that any action would await judicial review of the FCC's November 2004 order that held Vonage's voice-over-Internet Protocol service was interstate in nature and not subject to various state codes.
"There is still a question about whether IP video should be treated as a traditional cable service subject to local franchising authority or whether it's not a service subject to Title VI in the same way that voice-over-IP isn't traditional telecommunications subject to all of the [common carrier] regulations," Martin said.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit is expected to hand down a ruling in the Vonage case any day.
Of course, that's after it's been under review for more than a year, an unusually long time even for the notoriously deliberate federal bench.
"I think that the decision [that] will come out of that [Vonage] case will be critical in trying to craft whether or not the commission's authority to deal with all these IP services will continue to be affirmed," Martin explained.
In any IPTV ruling, the FCC would likely need to define IPTV so that cable incumbents would know just how much IP-formatted traffic there needs to be in a network for it to be able to have regulatory parity with AT&T and its U-Verse service. Also hazy at this point is whether IPTV providers would, like cable companies, be eligible for compulsory copyright licensing, which creates legal rights to carry local TV stations without fueling copyright disputes with Hollywood studios and sports leagues.
Like the 90-day shot clock just created by the FCC, regulatory exemptions for IPTV service will spawn law suits, meaning the courts get to decide whether the Martin FCC has pushed the law beyond reason.

West Sacramento Family To Sue Lyft After Deadly Crash

Lyft Drivers, If Employees, Owed Millions More – Court Documents
by Dan Levine and Heather Somerville, Reuters
Drivers who worked for ride-hailing service Lyft in California during the past four years would have been entitled to an estimated $126 million in expense reimbursements had they been employees rather than contractors, court documents show. … The judge asked for the estimates as part of his oversight of a proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit filed by California drivers. … Lyft agreed to settle the class-action lawsuit in January. Under the proposed deal, Lyft would pay $12.25 million, with drivers receiving an average of $56 each after attorneys' fees and other expenses, documents show. Read More ›
Garcetti Pushes Fingerprint-Based Background Checks For Uber And Lyft Drivers
Last year, The Times reported that four Uber drivers ticketed by [Los Angeles] airport police had criminal histories that would have barred them from becoming city taxi drivers.

Uber Agrees To Settle Class-Action Suit Over Safety Claims
by Mike Isaac, New York TImes
Uber has agreed to pay $28.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that took issue with the company's claims that its driver background checks were "industry leading." The terms of the settlement, filed on Thursday in the United States District Court in the Northern District of California, require Uber to pay roughly 25 million riders across the United States … Uber passengers who used the service in the United States between Jan. 1, 2013, and Jan. 31, 2016, will be notified by email and have the option to accept a refund in the form of a rider credit or a charge back to their credit card on file.

State Legislators Call For Drastic Overhaul Of California's Utility Regulator
by Melanie Mason and Jeff McDonald, Los Angeles Times
Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) said his measure would decentralize the California Public Utilities Commission's oversight of myriad utilities, including electricity, railroad safety and ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. … Gatto, chairman of the Assembly's utilities committee, would give the Legislature two years to divvy up the functions of the commission among other agencies, which Gatto said would result in a more logical assignment of responsibilities.

California regulators slapped Uber with a $7.6 million fine Thursday, voting unanimously to affirm an administrative judge's ruling that found the ride service company in contempt for failing to meet reporting requirements. … The detailed information that Uber failed to provide in 2014 had to do with driver safety, access for people with disabilities and how it was serving neighborhoods by zip code. Regulators have said Uber defied the reporting requirements and that the zip code information the company initially submitted was "useless." Read More ›
Uber Drivers Get Big Boost In Lawsuit Against Company
by Carolyn Said, San Francisco Chronicle
U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that even drivers who accepted mandatory arbitration in their Uber contract should be included in the [class-action suit], saying that clause was unenforceable. That means the majority of the 160,000 people who have ever driven for Uber in California are now part of the class. … If the drivers win, [their lawyer] has said she'll next seek a nationwide class-action. … The Uber class-action is the furthest along of a bevy of lawsuits against companies such as Lyft, Postmates, Instacart, Caviar and Handy in which gig workers are seeking the protections and rights of employees.

Uber Drivers Granted Class-Action Status In Legal Battle
by Tracey Lien, Los Angeles Times
Uber now stands to lose far more than if the case had proceeded as a suit involving only three plaintiffs. In addition to potentially being on the hook for back wages, sick leave, expenses and benefits, the company could be ordered to pay gratuities owed to thousands of former drivers. "We're talking about millions of dollars," said Lonnie Giamela of labor and employment firm Fisher & Phillips. And that doesn't even touch on what a loss would mean for Uber's independent contractor-reliant business model, which has earned the company a $50-billion valuation. Read More ›
Uber Unleashes Lobbyists In California To Reshape Driver Rules
by Alison Vekshin, Bloomberg
Uber has spent almost a million dollars since 2013 on lobbyists in California. … Lyft, also based in San Francisco, has spent $362,000 on lobbying the legislature since 2013. … Some lawmakers say Uber is skirting rules that apply to similar businesses. "In California, we allow them to operate for free while we require many other businesses to pay for permits, franchising fees and licenses," said Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian, the sole vote against Low's measure in May. "It's beyond ridiculous what they're getting away with." Read More ›

Polymorphism is a mechanism that we have in static and strongly typed languages to reuse algorithms or computation on different types. These types must have a type in common by either deriving from a shared base class or by means of implementing the same interface.
And then find out that not only has he goblins, but also orcs, trolls, wargs and wyrms.
In summary, in this example we rewrote the Attacks method to take advantage of polymorphism so that our Skeleton can attack anything that implements that IAttackable interface.
From being able to attack only Skeletons, we went to attacking many types of monsters implemented with many many functions, to reduce that to a single function thanks to polymorphism. The benefits don't come only from the fact that we have a single function instead of many, but from the increased extensibility of this new solution. Thanks to polymorphism this Attacks function will work with new creatures, defensive structures, and virtually anything that hasn't been thought of yet as long as it implements the contract defined by the IAttackable interface.
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call it a duck.
In this article we did a short review of the concept of polymorphism in C# and how you can use it as a mechanism of code reuse and as a means of creating extensible applications.

Sunderland Soccer CEO Resigns Over Defending Pedophile Player Johnson
Alan Ewart
Just a few short years ago, Sunderland soccer player Adam Johnson seemed to have the world at his feet. Johnson was feted for a long and glorious career after winning the premier league championship and making his debut for the England international soccer team. Now, Johnson's career is in tatters; he is a convicted pedophile and faces a lengthy term in prison for his crimes. Johnson has been sacked by Sunderland, his premier league soccer club, and awaits sentence. The judge in the case told Johnson to expect a term of between five and 10 years in jail.
The Johnson case has also cost Sunderland CEO Margaret Byrne her job; she resigned in the wake of the Johnson pedophile scandal. As a result of Mrs. Byrne's resignation, both Sunderland and the British premier soccer league have lost one of the very few women in a senior position at a British Soccer club.
BREAKING: Sunderland CEO Margaret Byrne resigns over Adam Johnson case. pic.twitter.com/2uDmo0IL81
— TheSPORTbible (@TSBible) March 8, 2016
According to the Mirror. Mrs. Byrne, a fully qualified lawyer, was aware that 28-year-old Johnson had admitted grooming a 15-year-old Sunderland fan and had told police that he had kissed the girl in his car. Despite this, Byrne decided to allow Johnson to keep playing for Sunderland.
Sunderland had initially suspended Johnson when he was arrested, but he was reinstated after just 16 days as Sunderland fought to avoid relegation from the premier league. Johnson was allowed to continue playing for Sunderland until he changed his plea on some of the charges he faced to guilty at the beginning of his trial last month. At that point, he was sacked by Sunderland.
Johnson played 28 matches for Sunderland between his reinstatement and the beginning of his trial last month. It is estimated that Johnson earned some $4.5 million from Sunderland and from endorsements during this period.

Many Sunderland fans were outraged when Johnson's pedophile behavior came to light, and that anger grew when it became clear that Mrs. Byrne was fully aware of the extent of Johnson's behavior. According to BBC Sport, the anger felt by Sunderland fans eventually made Byrne's position untenable.
In a statement to the press, Sunderland accepted that not only had fans been let down by Johnson, Sunderland football club let them down as well.
"Johnson's victim was very badly let down first and foremost by the player and his despicable actions, but also by the club they support.
"Mr Johnson lied to the club; he also lied to our fans and they have every right to feel aggrieved by this."
According to the Guardian Byrne had been sent a six-page memo by Johnson's legal team. where it was made clear that Johnson had admitted that he had sent suggestive messages to the girl involved and that he had kissed her. Despite this knowledge, Byrne reinstated Johnson, allowed him to play for Sunderland, and failed to notify the Sunderland board of directors of what she knew. Apparently, Byrne also told Johnson that Sunderland would fight to clear his name.
Sky Sports reports that Margaret Byrne accepts that she made a serious error of judgment and apologized to those affected by her decision to reinstate Johnson.
"I recognise that, as CEO, my involvement with Mr Johnson and the decision to allow him to continue to represent Sunderland was a serious mistake.
"I accept that Mr Johnson should not have been permitted to play again, irrespective of what he was going to plead. It was a serious error of judgment and I accept full responsibility for this."
Johnson was convicted last week of "sexual activity with a minor" and had previously admitted two less serious charges. Johnson will be sentenced later this month, and it is likely that his soccer career will be over before he is released from prison.

Insomnia: How new moms can cope
The baby's finally sleeping through the night, but now you can't drift off. How long does "momsomnia" last?
By Colleen Seto July 11, 2020

Tick-tock. While my baby was snoozing soundly, I'd lie awake at night. Crushing exhaustion permeated every inch of my body, yet I'd be unable to fall asleep. It was torture. I dubbed it "momsomnia," and it plagued me on and off for months. I'd been a prize sleeper pre-baby, crashing easily anytime. The momsomnia began suddenly when my then-nine-month-old daughter, Annabel, started sleeping for a miraculous eight—if not 10 to 12—hours continuously. At last, I could catch up on my zzzs, I thought. But it was not to be. I'd wake in the wee hours of the morning, and to-do lists and scenes from the day ran through my mind. I was hyper-alert to every whimper and rustle Annabel made. As a new parent, I knew I'd signed up for sleep deprivation, but I didn't know it'd be due to my own inability to turn off my brain. I'd obsess about not sleeping, then I'd worry about all the things I had to do the next day, and how I would get them done on no sleep.
Calgary mom Stacey Polet was afflicted with momsomnia from day one of parenthood. "What I was most worried about was not hearing the baby. So I would lay there and listen," she recalls, describing her experience with her first daughter, Amy. "I was so worried about keeping her alive. It was crazy anxiety." When her second daughter, Phoebe, came along, momsomnia struck again, but even worse. "I worried about being able to function the next day. I knew I wouldn't be able to nap like I did with Amy. I'd lie there thinking, 'I'm really going to be screwed tomorrow.'"
Physician Charles Samuels, medical director at Calgary's Centre for Sleep and Human Performance, and a vice president in the clinical division of the Canadian Sleep Society (CSS), says that insomnia is common among women — more so than for men. It occurs when normal sleep is chronically disturbed by an emotional or stressful event, which can include child rearing. Parents often have poor sleep patterns, due to night feedings. Behaviours that can worsen the sleeplessness include watching TV and using laptops or iPads in bed — anything that leads to hyper-arousal. "Perpetuation is the issue," says Samuels. He says that those who suffer insomnia often have a predisposition for it, such as having a Type-A personality or growing up in a stressful environment. While over-the-counter sleep aids are available, Samuels believes that popping a pill is not the solution. "Medication should not be the first approach," he says. Instead, he asks patients to counter their anxious thoughts with meditation, yoga and other relaxing activities at least an hour before bed. Try simple things like meditative breathing and turning off your phone at night.
If no amount of yoga or meditation provides relief, consult your doctor about a treatment plan. Depending on the situation, you may be able to find respite through use of short-term sleep medication. A Motherisk study of nursing infants exposed to benzodiazepines — the kind of medication that's often used to treat anxiety and insomnia — found that the risk of adverse effects for the baby is very low. "Our study shows that the use of benzodiazepines during breastfeeding does not result in increased risk of central nervous depression in the infant," says Toronto physician Gideon Koren, director of Motherisk.
Polet's momsomnia lasted about a year with each of her kids, slowly subsiding, without medication, as her confidence as a parent grew. "What it comes down to is that I like to be in control," she says. "With a newborn, I had no control."
For me, a combination of yoga, deep breathing, limiting time on my laptop and turning off the baby monitor has helped with my momsomnia. I had to quiet both the inner and outer chatter. I still have the odd night when my mind races, but for the most part, I'm sleeping well again.

In search of Thomas Smith Grimké's portrait
American National Biography Online
By Louise W. Knight
October 22nd 2015
Most biographers would agree that it is difficult to write about someone whose face you have never seen. When I set out to write a biographical entry on Thomas Smith Grimké (1786-1834) for the American National Biography Online, I confronted that challenge. Then I learned that the editors at ANB wanted an image too. Now I had two reasons to find one.
Thomas Smith Grimké was certainly wealthy enough, and for that matter prominent enough, to have a portrait done. The son of a South Carolina state judge and the brother of Charleston's famous abolitionists Sarah and Angelina Grimké, Thomas was an accomplished lawyer, state legislator, orator, and reformer. In his speeches (which he frequently arranged to have printed as pamphlets and sent to prominent citizens and libraries around the country), he advocated for educational innovation, temperance, and peace. He also led the Unionist side in South Carolina's intense debate over the state's right to nullify a federal law (foreshadowing the Civil War to come) and corresponded with James Madison on the history of the Constitutional Convention. Though a Southerner, he was most famous in the North, and, though a slaveowner, he might have—or so his sisters later believed—become an abolitionist if he had not died of cholera at the age of 48, while in Ohio on a lecture tour.

Though it was possible that the only portrait of Thomas might be in private hands and therefore difficult to locate, I hoped I would come across a publicly accessible image while doing research for the entry. And I did. In 1924, a historian who specialized in Ohio history published an essay about Grimké in The Ohio Archaeological and Historical Quarterly. Underneath a picture of Thomas were the words, "From a photograph of a painting in the Library of Miami University." Bingo!
And it made sense. I already knew that Grimké, while on his lecture tour, had given a speech to a student literary society at Miami University of Ohio. According to the 1924 essay, the painting had been commissioned by the society to commemorate his inspiring visit. Learning that the painting was now at the university's art museum, I spoke with the director, Dr. Robert Wicks, who said he would be happy to show it to me. Luckily, I was already planning to drive from Chicago, where I live, to Charleston, South Carolina to do research on the biography I am writing about the Grimké sisters. I decided to swing by Miami University on my way home.
Thus I found myself one day in October 2014 standing with Dr. Wicks in front of a large and fascinating portrait of Thomas Smith Grimké. The first thing I noticed was that this was not the traditional image of a forceful, successful man. Grimké had a kind face. In capturing this, the artist had done well. I had read enough obituaries by then to know that Grimké was much beloved for his gentle spirit. Now I could see it.

I also noticed that his collar and his cravat were askew, as if he was too distracted to pay much attention to his appearance. Fascinatingly enough, this too fit with what I had read in the obituaries. Though a very wealthy man, he was famous in Charleston for walking down the street looking quite disheveled. Just as I had hoped, the picture brought the man to life for me and hopefully it would do the same for readers.
But who was the artist? Dr. Wicks told me this was a mystery since the painting was unsigned front and back. We then looked in the painting's "object file" to see if I could learn more about when the portrait was painted and, to our surprised delight, found a $25 receipt signed by the artist, Abraham G. D. Tuthill, an itinerant painter. The receipt, it turned out, had found its way into the file in the 1980s, long after the museum had concluded the artist was unknown. The official records had just not been undated.
A few weeks later I located in the general print collections of the Indiana Historical Society an etching of Grimké based on the same painting. But here is what is interesting. While the painting shows Grimké as a tender soul, the etching does not. Doolittle and Munson, early Cincinnati engravers, had enhanced the squareness of his jaw and given his mouth a new firmness. They also straightened his collar a little. Thus does culture insist on tidying up the truth to conform to its own expectations! So I am very glad I have an image of the painting itself, and that Abraham G. D. Tuthill was a good enough artist to accurately capture the character of Thomas Smith Grimké. And I am especially glad to share the fruits of my search with the readers of the ANB.

Do Medicines and Antibiotics Interfere With Digestion and Nutrient Absorption?
Medicines, antibiotics and other drugs can interfere with the digestion and absorption of nutrients e.g. antibiotics destroy the intestinal micro flora (bacteria) that assist in digestive and absorptive processes, as well as affecting how nutrients such as vitamin B12 are created. Certain antibiotics can cause malabsorption of fat, protein, sodium, potassium and calcium. Taking antacids containing calcium could also interfere with the absorption of other minerals, as high amounts of calcium in antacids can take up most of the absorption site; therefore leading to the malabsorption of the minerals. Athletes should take care when taking any drugs or medicines; over the counter or not, as they are likely to have a digestive, absorptive or metabolic impact that could be detrimental to performance. Always consult the necessary healthcare professional.
It may well be that you can reduce the chances of a trip to the chemists for certain medicines, by not over training. Over training can lead to increased illness frequency and a whole host of other problems. A loss of appetite common in athletes who are over training will result in a negative impact on nutrition status and energy intake, which in turn will lead to low immunity and illness.

The New York Knicks lost in the race to Giannis Antetokounmpo
19/05/2020 19/05/2020 BASKETBALL
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee Bucks's contracts did not expire until 2021, but the New York Knicks could soon find another target at the Free Agency.
The New York Knicks no longer had any chance
Antetokounmpo has more chances in other options
In 2021, Giannis Antetokounmpo will become the hottest name in the transfer market when the contract with Milwaukee Bucks expires. The reigning MVP is definitely in the pursuit of any team. However, the New York Knicks' plan was soon torn before the year because they upset the Greek demigod.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo played only two matches for the New York Knicks before being liquidated
The owner of Madison Square Garden did not give Antetokounmpo enough opportunity when he was playing for this team. Of course, we do not talk about Giannis, but about elder brother Thanasis. Thanasis Antetokounmpo spent two years playing for the Knicks G-League team. As a result, he only got a 10-day contract, played 2 NBA matches, and was fired.
The 51st pick in the 2014 Draft of the New York Knicks moved to the Andorra club in the Spanish league. In 2017, Thanasis returned to Greece, winning 2 times and winning the title of the best player in the Panathinaikos shirt twice. That impressive performance gave him a foothold in Milwaukee Bucks this season.
Being an affectionate person, Giannis Antetokounmpo certainly cannot ignore the attitude that the New York Knicks has for his brother. In 2015, the star publicly expressed his frustration at not facing him at the London Game match between Bucks and Knicks.
At the age of 25, Giannis Antetokounmpo is already the top basketball star in the world. Not only excellent in attack, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is also one of the leading defensive walls of the American Professional Basketball League (NBA). "He is a comprehensive NBA superstar in the current NBA," ESPN said.
Antetokounmpo received the title of MVP (best player) with an average of 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds (catching the ball on the table), and 5.9 assists after 72 matches in the 2018/19 season. In 2018, Antetokounmpo was favored by ESPN as the demigod in the video analysis of the player himself through the comment of the late Kobe Bryant: "He is a demigod."
Giannis Antetokounmpo become stardom at a young age
Milwaukee Bucks chose Antetokounmpo at 15th place in the 2013 NBA Draft. Antetokounmpo was then 2.05 m tall, physically rare, and commented to have development potential to play multiple positions. Bucks see Antetokounmpo as a small investment, but the result they bring is extremely satisfactory.
Still, it is not too late to correct it. The youngest brother of the Antetokounmpo family, Alex, will participate in the Draft that takes place in 2021. If you choose this player, the image of the Madison Square Garden team will probably be better for Giannis. However, in case Alex does not fit the play that the team built, this will be a big gamble.
Besides, there are still many other teams that are turning their attention to the Greek Gods. Of course, MVP has a lot of options on hand and perhaps the New York Knicks will have to express greater intentions than that. If he leaves Milwaukee Bucks, Antetokounmpo will definitely choose a Championship candidate. This feeling, New York fans have not enjoyed since the 90s.
