The United States said Tuesday that Russia was not complying with New START, the last remaining arms control treaty between the world's two main nuclear powers, as tensions soar over the Ukraine war. Diplomacy between the two powers has ground to a bare minimum over the past year as the United States leads a drive to punish Russia economically for its war against Ukraine and arm Kyiv with billions of dollars in weapons.
New French protests, strikes target Macron pensions plan
French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday faced a new wave of anger over his plan to reform pensions, with nationwide strikes and protests causing widespread disruption in transport, schools and other public services.Union-led protesters came out for mass demonstrations for the second time in less than two weeks, hoping to force Macron to drop his plan to raise the age of retirement from 62 to 64, a flagship reform of his second mandate in power.A police source said the authorities were bracing for up to 1.2 million people to take to the streets across the country.If confirmed, the number could exceed the 1.1 million who came out on January 19 against the proposed shake-up -- already the largest protests since the last major round of pension reform in 2010."We hope to be at least that many again," the boss of the hard-left CGT union, Philippe Martinez, told media Tuesday, adding there would be 250 protest marches.But Macron has shown no sign of stepping back, insisting on Monday that the reform is "essential" to "save our system" of pensions distribution.Some 11,000 police were mobilised, with 4,000 deployed in Paris where several hundred extremist troublemakers were expected, according to the interior ministry.The first marches kicked off at 10:00 am (0900 GMT), with several prominent opposition politicians taking part.- 'Certain to lose' -"Mr Macron is certain to lose," said Jean-Luc Melenchon, a figurehead for the far left and former presidential candidate, as he marched in the southern port city of Marseille.Millions had to find alternative means of transport Tuesday, work from home or take time off to look after their school-age children, with workers in transport and education sectors among those staging walkouts."This is about more than pensions, it is about what kind of society we want," 59-year-old university professor Martine Beugnet told AFP.Paris metro and suburban rail services were severely restricted, as was intercity travel.In the southwestern city of Bordeaux, Cheikh Sadibou Tamamate, 36, arrived at the train station in the small hours of Tuesday, hoping to catch a train to Paris after the one he was booked on around 5:00 am (0400 GMT) never left."Unfortunately it was cancelled," he said.Air travel appeared to be less affected, and there were only minor disruptions on international train services including the Eurostar. Around half of all nursery and primary school teachers were on strike. France's oil industry was mostly paralysed, with the CGT union at energy giant TotalEnergies reporting between 75 and 100 percent of workers on strike.- 'The less they support it' -High school and university students also joined the movement, with a few dozen students at the prestigious Sciences-Po university occupying its main building overnight."It's important to get young people involved in the pensions debate," Jean-Baptiste Bonnet, a student there, told AFP."Obviously this is young people's business," said Colin Champion, a student leader at the Lycee Voltaire in Paris, one of several schools blockaded by pupils in the capital.Even a prison, in the southwestern city of Nimes, was blocked by staff protesting, a union source said.Sixty-one percent of French people support the protest movement, a poll by the OpinionWay survey group showed on Monday -- a rise of three percentage points from January 12."The more French people find out about the reform, the less they support it," said Frederic Dabi, a prominent pollster at the Ifop institute."This is not good at all for the government," he told AFP.The most controversial part of the overhaul is hiking the minimum retirement age.But the changes are also to increase the number of years people have to make contributions before they can receive a full pension.France has the lowest qualifying age for a state pension among major European economies. The government has said the changes are necessary to guarantee the future financing of the pension system, which is forecast to tip into deficit in the next few years.But opponents point out that the system is not in trouble, insisting pension spending is not out of control.The government has signalled there could be wiggle room on some of the suggested measures, but Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has declared raising the age of retirement "non-negotiable".Parliament committees started examining the bill on Monday.Macron's centrist allies, short of an absolute majority, will need votes from conservatives to push through the new legislation.burs-jh/sjw/bp

It's obvious that Toyota's management and engineers are a bit sluggish when it pertains to the SUV lineup. Newest reports recommend that the redesign of this full-size high-end SUV will not come that quickly, certainly not prior to 2021, if we can count on our experts. For that reason, we are quite sure that the 2020 Lexus LX 570 will continue in the very same method. A decade-old SUV has actually been upgraded a number of times up until now and it is quite competitive, even nowadays when there is a lot of more youthful rivals.
Still, the LX still has a great deal of aces in its pocket, such as amazing off-road abilities, beautifully-crafted interior and so on. On the other side, the greatest issue is the bad fuel economy, in addition to a couple of more useful elements of the vehicle. In any method, the 2020 Lexus LX 570 will not include larger changes.
The 2020 Lexus LX 570 is a decade-old SUV. Nevertheless, it certainly does not reveal its age. A Land Cruiser-based SUV includes the very same mechanics. On the other side, it features an entirely various styling, which is adjusted to the Lexus' existing style language. The SUV looks appealing however has a little weaker off-road efficiencies, due to various bumper style which minimizes the reach angle. Nevertheless, this is still the most capable full-size SUV amongst exceptional producers.
On the other side, the interior decoration of this SUV looks magnificent. Although among the earliest models in the class, the LX features exceptionally trendy cabin appearance, integrated with incredible interior quality. On the other side, we might state that the powerlessness is a rather restricted legroom in second and 3rd rows, thinking about the vehicle's size. The freight location is likewise quite tight.
When it pertains to 2020 Lexus LX 570 setups, you can select either 2- or three-row versions. In both cases, you can depend on a single, fully-loaded trim with an amazing list of basic devices. A few of the basic features are things like LED lighting, tow drawback, automated wipers, windscreen wiper de-icers, running boards, power tailgate and so on. On the within, you get things like leather upholstery, sunroof, 4-zone environment control, warmed, aerated and power-adjustable seats, chauffeur memory settings and so on. In regards to tech features, things like 12.3-inch screen, navigation, 9-speaker audio system, Bluetooth and USB are all part of the basic devices.
There is likewise a lot of choices, like head-up display screen, cordless battery charger, 19-speaker audio system, coolbox under the armrest, rear-seat home entertainment system, larger 21-inch wheels and a lot more.
Providing the size of this SUV, it is simple to presume that there is a big V8 under the hood. It is a Toyota's familiar 5.7-liter system, which benefits about 380 horse power and 400 pound-feet of torque. Such quantity is ample to supply rather strong acceleration numbers. This substantial SUV requires around 7.5 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour. Likewise, the flight is quite smooth, thanks to a properly designed 8-speed automated transmission and advanced 4 × 4 system. On the other side, fuel economy is certainly the weakest point of this SUV. It is absolutely the thirstiest model in the class. A typical fuel intake walks around 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
It appears quite clear that a redesign is still far. For that reason, the 2020 Lexus LX 570 is coming without more vital changes. So, count for the last quarter of in the year, when it concerns the launch date. We likewise do not anticipate changes in cost. The existing model walks around 85.600 dollars.

The Best operating system for programming
When you tap into programming the operating system is an essential aspect you should not overlook. Even though an OS should not restrict you from using your preferred language it's useful to read the options before you make your move.
Over the years people are so confused with all sides of this argument, saying that, "<platform name> is the best or that or this." So this is an effort to clear the cloud abovve your what is best for your development purpose, this article poses the differences in each platform in relation to general web development.
The competing operating systems are these three: iOS, Linux, & Windows.
But first break down programming in following sections.
(i) Coding Language (C, C++, Python, Java and so on)
There are many languages to choose when you start coding, it can be any language and since there are a plethora of IDE platforms for Linux based distribution, Microsoft's Windows and Apple's Mac OS. It doesn't matter because people who used Windows for over 5 and more year are coding on Linux and don't yearn Mac. When your focus is on programming and code writing, you probably won't like the plethora of background services and multitasking makes it hard to focus on coding. When you use Linux the current app takes the whole place and somehow it manages to put all the focus on a single work; which is coding in your case. When you want a true, monolithic experience in programming, go for Linux. But why stick with Linux when you know coding is not dependent on operating system. You like Windows, use it. If you love Linux, chose any distribution. Do you have a Mac on your desk, nothing wrong to use it?
(ii) Operating System Level
For this category, you have to select dedicated Operating System.
When you're developing a Windows program (.exe) you must go with Windows as you can test it and more importantly you'll know how it will work.
Want to Develop Linux then go with Linux Distributions and there is also Many Distributions and their factors are different but target a distribution and learn all things and then Linux will be easy to use.
For developing Mac Apps, using Mac OS is advisable.
Choice That you have.
Windows use IDEs like Net Beans, Visual Basic, Code Blocks, Dev C++ (and plenty of more to choose from)
Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) use Code Blocks and Net Beans.
Android Development is very easy with Android Studio both in Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) no problem there, both are flexible.
Operating System doesn't matter for programming!
For example, you would be able to run all program including — whether it be C++, Python, Java, Pascal or anything else on every operating system. When you solely want to focus on programming you may want a simple lightweight Operating System and a compiler(or an interpreter) to run your program!
Cross-Platform Features
Most languages can be developed on any platform
Most IDE's and other developer tools are cross-platform (within reason)
All Platforms (that I know of) can use Git
Most platforms have the ability to run another platform along-side or within themselves, in some way. (Usually via a 3rd party application)
iOS Features
Almost everything is visually well polished
Things are not free, you've got to pay
You can use Photoshop
Is POSIX
Ability to install programs via GUI by default
Useful apps are pre-installed
Upgrades to major version every year
Not large portion of Web servers use this platform, but it is closely related to the most commonly used platform.
Linux Features
Most things are open source (aka free-for-developers)
Has a "sink or swim" learning curve (aka not typical-user friendly)
Has a dozen Photoshop alternatives, but no Photoshop
Typically installs programs via CLI by default (fast)
Some useful applications pre-installed with minimal bloatware, if any.
Typically upgrades major version every 1 or 2 years, occasionally less. (easily installed)
Most servers use some variation of this platform
Windows Features
Most products/services are designed for this platform
Has many security issues
Can use Photoshop
Is not POSIX
Installs programs via GUI by default (slow)
Few useful applications pre-installed. Unless you install the OS, it always has a lot of bloatware.
Upgrades major version two or three times in a decade, occasionally more/less. (pain in the *** almost every time)
Some servers use this platform
Features source.
Operating systems for programming
If you choose Linux as your programming operating system then some best Linux distribution is as follows. It's easy to setup C++ development environment to compile and run using Eclipse IDE. If you're interested check the following guide.
How To Setup C++ Development Environment In Linux
You've seen it's easy to setup Eclipse (pre-configured for Java) to work with C++ projects. Linux allows a wide range of IDE you can choose from, it all depends on your demands.
For that, you'll need a Linux Distro that can download from Ubuntu Software store, so the working Distro is Ubuntu, Pop OS, elementary OS, Kubuntu, Lubuntu and so on. Moreover, you can always sideload your favorite IDE on most of the Linux distributions.
1. Pop! OS: is developer focused
Pop OS is developer focused Linux based operating system. The interface is elegant and it's easy to get used to it compared to Ubuntu or other distributions. It comes preloaded with so many tools for programming and coding that you'll find yourself tinkering with. One solid pro is that the operating system is around developers, but in fact, anyone who can use Ubuntu would be happy to use this distribution as well.
2. Arch Linux: is the all-you-do type.
The Arch Linux has a wide fan base, it comes with latest Linux Kernel and package manager. It's easy to install apps using terminal from the app store. With arch Linux, you'll have to gather things and choose components. You can customize it to make an operating system for programming and development purposes. The Arch community is consist of people having experience in programming, you get the company and help them so no worries.
the operating system is a one-time installation with always up to date bleeding edge distro repository. On every month (first week) you get system update, and you can choose to install them automatically letting you work more on the development and worry less about system stability and security.
Penetration can also be done by converting Arch Linux into BlackArch installation with help of some instructions.
You should use Arch Linux because of its flexibility to adapt to your preference. Especially when you have used a Linux before, don't you think it'll be awesome to build a personal system?
3. Windows 10.. Errrr..
Windows is widely used, accepted and pirated operating system and you can use it for development and programming purpose. People who choose Linux over Windows always complain about the background process that it runs makes less resource available for programming apps. When you have to work with Visual Studio (Microsoft Azure) windows might be a better and suitable choice. A lot of developers first build Mac apps then make a version for Windows platform, so there is not a big learning curve when you shift from MAC to Windows, as Windows is widely available and you can install it on cheap machines, unlike MAC.
Learn programming with Windows using C++
An operating system should not limit you in your coding and compiling tasks. Rather, now you have a better understanding that Linux may offer you a better platform for sharp coding and programming skills. If you're a company or a team then you acknowledge building a cross-platform is essential for survival, in that case, divide your team to work on different operating system app versions.

Hand blown fine art glass Silver Leaf Rolled Lip Vases. Designed and made in Seattle by artist Dehanna Jones at her studio, Totally Blown Glassworks.
Approximately 13 inches tall, 8 inches wide, with the top opening about 5 inches in diameter. These vases have a solid opaque interior color (Chartreuse Lime Green) covered with the same transparent (Spring Green) outer color. The inside lip is then rolled back on itself allowing you to see the small contrast in the 2 different colors. The exterior is also layered in silver leaf and a trail of the same transparent glass 'lacing' over the silver. Also a speckling of 'scratch' which is a mixture of jewel tone glass chips the size of peas to add just a touch more pizzazz. There is also a dark, slightly metallic stripe on the lip finishing off the opening at the top. Each vase is ground flat on the bottom and signed by the artist.
Each vase is unique in the way the colors blend together. The art glass has a tendency to look completely different when rotated. I tried to show the most accurate photos possible. Each front view is the same vase rotated 30 degrees to show the different sides of the same vase. You will receive the vase in the photo.
These vases are available in Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Purple, Green, Teal, Blue, Golden Brown and so many combinations I have not tried yet. If you have any questions just ask. We do not accept any returns and only exchanges in person, so please ask for more pictures or information if you are not sure this is the perfect vase for you. They are heavy and with the rolled lip, more sturdy for flowers than most blown glass vases. The silver leaf is reflective and the vases look spectacular in low light situations.

DYFED-POWYS POLICE has launched its summer campaign, helping people who live in and visit the four counties they serve safely enjoy what's on offer over the summer.
The campaign, identified by the hashtag #EnjoyDPP, offers practical advice to help people enjoy our towns, beaches, mountains and events.
#EnjoyDPP is about giving people the safety advice that could prevent them from requiring police assistance this summer. They will be working closely with partner agencies who provide specialist assistance to keep people as safe as possible.
Head of Uniformed Policing, Chief Superintendent Vicki Evans, said: "Our area is home to a variety of fantastic attractions, and hosts locally and nationally renowned events. People come in their droves during the summer months boosting population numbers significantly.
"The influx of visitors combined with the diversity of our patch brings challenges for us as a police force and we're adept at flexing our resources to accommodate this. However, we appeal to our communities and visitors to help us out, so this summer we are offering some simple advice to help people enjoy our unique region, safely.
The force sees reports of domestic abuse rise over the summer months. They take a strong stance against the crime and are encouraging people to pass on information which will help tackle the issue.
Chief Superintendent Evans continued: "We understand domestic abuse isn't easy to talk about, so we have dedicated, specialist officers who can provide support.
"Domestic abuse is not only violence – physical, sexual, emotional or financial abuse, threats and damage are also methods used by perpetrators to control victims.
"We urge anyone concerned about a friend, neighbour or family member to pass us information so we can take action.

What Butler County's newest lawmaker has on her mind as her term begins
Ohio Rep. Sara Carruthers, R-Hamilton, represents the 51st Ohio House District, which includes, among other areas, Fairfield, Hamilton and Ross Twp.
By Michael D. Pitman, Staff Writer
As she begins her term as an Ohio Statehouse newcomer, Rep. Sara Carruthers, R-Hamilton, said she hopes to make an impact in several notable areas, including school security, the fight against opioids and overdoses and improvement in state education.
Carruthers won her seat this past November, earning just less than 60 percent of the vote against Democratic challenger Susan Vaughn. She beat the then-incumbent officeholder, Wes Retherford, in the May 2018 primary.

Next up for Carruthers and other legislators is joining committees. She has requested a seat on the House Health Committee.
"The opioid crisis is one of my number one problems," said Carruthers, whose family has donated millions to Fort Hamilton Hospital. "With the hospitals and everything, it is near and dear to my heart. I'm still a big part of Fort (Hamilton) and I'm still a big part of Mercy."
She also wants to see drug costs lowered.
Education and school safety are other issues she wants to tackle.
"I'm concerned about our children's education, and their safety, so there's a lot going on there that I want to start to push for," said Carruthers, who is a mother of twins.
Carruthers also said she doesn't think Ohio is "doing as well as we can for kids," and that includes having state-required tests for students.
"I think we are hung up with tests, and teachers agree to that," she said. "Teaching to a test is not teaching children what we need to."
Carruthers said she hopes to work well with Democrats in the House. As an example, she mentioned freshman lawmaker Rep. Jessica Miranda, a Democrat from Forest Park.
"Jessica Miranda and I get along great," Carruthers said. "We may not agree on some issues, but as a person we get along — and I think that's something that is missing in a lot of things."
Carruthers said she'd like schools spend more time focusing on life skills classes, like home economics and budgeting.
Carruthers also enters the Statehouse as a record number of women — 28 — were elected to a seat in the Ohio House, half of whom are first-time lawmakers.

"It's going to be interesting because they have a lot of women coming in," she said. "I think the men there are going to have to toe the line more than they ever have had, as far as what they say not coming off rude or disrespectful."

How sponsorship has (and hasn't) changed since the London 2012 Olympics.
Three months from the start of the Games and it feels like the calm before the storm. There's been such a low-key build-up to the tournament this year that it can only mean a wave of activations are imminent. A cautionary approach is somewhat expected given Olympic marketers have always been fearful of clashing with the Euros, but the immediacy of media may have convinced many they'll be able to resonate with fans at speed.
Look back to London 2012 when personalisation at scale was not as sophisticated as it is now and its clear why marketers might be feeling confident about delaying their activations. And yet there lies the rub; with strategies locked in from as early as 18 months out, the conundrum for Rio 2016 sponsors like Nissan and Skol, which don't have the experience of the likes of Adidas and Coke, is when to fire the starting gun. Does a marketer go out and set out their Olympic stool ahead of the Euros to deliver against objectives by the time the event comes, or is it better to wait and rely on a strong idea to rise above the clutter once it's all been pushed out online?
Time will tell whether it's better to stick or twist.
For P&G, the business has opted to stick, launching the latest iteration of its global 'Thank You Mum' Olympic strategy today (27 April) in the hope it can steal a march on rivals. Unlike others, the FMCG company's campaign has equity earned from the London 2012 and Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics it can lean on in order to drive whatever metrics it prioritises for the 10 to 12 brands it will activate under the master strategy in 30 markets.
Similarly, Visa, another top tier Olympic sponsor, sees its role as driving consumer engagement in the run up to the event. As the event gets closer, some of the financial firm's markets will push its Team Visa athletes to amplify their local activity. They will celebrate their performances throughout the Games as well as creating bespoke content in line with the campaign. During the Games, Visa will also be deploying NFC-enabled terminals to allow athletes, fans and cardholders to pay via their mobile phone.
It's no secret that senior marketers increasingly see sponsorships as a core part of brand strategy, enlightened by a London 2012 that demonstrated it could drive real business value. That value requires sponsorships to span a longer activation period, something that can only feasibly be done if marketers practise what they preach on the wider marketing strategies for their brands. When P&G, McDonald's or Coca-Cola finally unveil their campaigns, they will be built on wider brand plans, making it easier and cheaper to fulfil sponsorships because many of the internal processes – from newsrooms to referral processes – have been honed over time.
For all the sophistication around sponsorship, there will still be those brands that get it wrong this summer. However, sports marketing experts remain hopeful of the good examples outshining the bad in spite of their reservations. Speaking on The Drum's bus during Advertising Week Europe earlier this month (21 April), senior executives from M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment, BBH Sport, Copa90 owner Bigballs Films and New Balance's creative agency Zak all advised Olympic brands not to get seduced by the slick activations of those sponsors that have been doing it for years.
M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment chief executive Steve Martin continued on this point: "You're seeing a lot of these big brands rebelling a bit and being a lot stronger however you'll notice that they haven't suddenly dropped the sponsorship. There's a reason for that – it's that all these big ticket events like the Olympics have extraordinary reach.
"The sponsorship game is changing but it's not true that no one cares about the infrastructure of the game. Fans obviously have different issues that they care about like ticket prices and how they watch games, which are all fundamental to how they enjoy sports. But I think the way that brands interact with rights holders is still important," concluded Martin.
The World Cup in 2014 wasn't the overwhelming success for brands many had predicted, as evidenced by the likes of Coca-Cola and McDonald's failing to see big sales spikes in key markets around the tournament. That's likely to be playing on the minds of sponsors on the road to Rio, but the rewards to be reaped are many. There are huge fanbases, which, thanks to social media, are almost like movements now. They are ready to be engaged and are ready for a story. It amounts to a perfect storm gathering; only those marketers brave enough to enter will be able to prosper once the Games are over.

Morcombes, lawyer tell of disgust
Bruce and Denise Morcombe leave court after another harrowing day. Cade Mooney
by Rae Wilson
Rae Wilson
THE dark, brooding storms and the fierce thunder and lightning circling Brisbane during the Daniel Morcombe coronial inquest could be just a coincidence.
But the Morcombes won't discount it's Daniel's wrath, his lost spirit spurring them to find the answers, to find him.
Bruce and Denise Morcombe are realists who are pragmatic about what might have happened to their 13-year-old son seven years ago.
They know he is probably dead, most likely murdered, but they want to lay his body to rest and give him a grave that they can visit.
The vast web of lies spun during the inquest this week by career criminals means they may never know how he died.
But the Morcombes believe Daniel's spirit is compelling them to seek the truth amid these "disgusting, despicable" lies.
"They're just disgusting. It's like we've attracted every lowest piece of scum on the earth," Mrs Morcombe said.
"If they're going to make up stories, don't involve other people and family members and poor Daniel.
"Why do they do it?
"Just because P33 hates P32 or some other trivial reason.
"It's a waste of police resources for all this and it hurts everybody.
"I think they should be jailed for all their lying.
"But to these people it doesn't matter.
"If they need a car they'll just go grab one and dump it round the corner when they're finished with it.
"If they need drugs, they just go rob a house.
"Daniel seems to have been a magnet for these people.
"I've never been to court before so you don't know what to expect."
Mr Morcombe said the family would now look forward to their son Bradley's 21st birthday on Sunday and then Christmas.
"We're very happy with the week. We've seen four persons of interest as well as some more details on the investigative process on a number of POIs," he said.
"So we've got to the point we're at and we don't think it's been a wasted effort. We think progress has been made.
"We'll just wait for March now."
More POIs and their associates are expected to be called during March next year.
Morcombe family lawyer Peter Boyce has been by the Morcombes' side through the first 14 days of the inquest.
The father of six - who has been a lawyer for 33 years - said this week, involving the questioning of four of the 35 persons of interest in Daniel's case, was even tough for him.
"Having read all the material, they're more strikingly poor than I thought they would be," he said.
"Their demeanour, their presentation, their lack of respect for just common decency.
"Things you would take for granted, we couldn't with them.
"They are disgraceful people.
"The classic for me was when P1 was asked on day two (this week), 'do you place much importance on giving an oath?' and he said, 'not really'.
"P1 was adamant our murderer would be known on Thursday, so what are they up to, these guys, in jail?"
Yesterday Mr Boyce questioned a P33 who claimed he was involved in Daniel's abduction, rape and murder.
P33 has provided multiple versions that are inconsistent.
He yesterday admitted to lying about many details in his versions but claimed the version he gave during the inquest was true.
"You've done significant damage to Morcombes, haven't you?" Mr Boyce said.
"On your version you've killed their son and if it's a lie you've deliberately tortured the Morcombe family."
"It's not a lie, sir," P33 said.
Mr Boyce said the Morcombes had researched the process so they would understand how the inquest would unfold.
"For Bruce and Denise and the boys it's good to see these people and hear it first hand," he said.
"Bruce had seen P1, but Denise hadn't.
"The other thing that is really important is Bruce and Denise's dignity and the respect they command by their dignity.
"It would be easy to lose your cool.
"Even if they're lies, these people have said some dreadful things about their child.
"To lie and go into that detail about what they did to your child is horrific for any parent.
"It's worse because they don't know how he died.
"Thursday (P33's alleged confession to Daniels abduction, rape and death) has been tough on them. You can see it in their faces.
"But they are realists and they are really good to work with."
The respect for the family was no more poignant than yesterday at lunch when a woman handed Mrs Morcombe a bunch of mini red roses, told her she was a mother and wished her well.
Mr Boyce said he was involved in the Fitzgerald trial but the Morcombe case was "the worst by a long way".
He said looking at the criminal histories, the facts of that past criminal behaviour and their habitual lying was sometimes "overwhelming".
"The Fitzgerald trial took six months of my life," he said.
"That was the other one that was really tough.
"But this one is tougher because I've got children of similar age.
"You see what decent people (the Morcombes) are and it'd be just everyone's worst nightmare not to know.
"Yet they show up every day and they're going to see it through to the end.
"As a lawyer I don't think I've ever seen a collective group, 35 of them, who are at the lowest end of our society, some who will never be rehabilitated and will always be inside.
"That's as a lawyer. Then you get Bruce and Denise as parents who have no concept of what low lifes there are and they've got 35 of them all in a bunch.
"You can't believe they exist.
"I've spent days having to read this material and I just can't believe it that we have people like this in our society."
Mr Boyce expects two more people of interest to come before the coroner in March.
He said he hoped to help confirm or disprove the various versions people of interest had provided police.
"I think the police generally have done a good job examining P1-35," he said.
"It's unfortunate some things didn't happen earlier in moving the investigation forward.
"That first 13 hours with these criminals is a very long time (before police took action).
"Collectively they are by far the worst I have come across.
"This is by far the worst you could ever run into.
"The worst thing is if it's not one of them, where do we go from there?"

The Odyssey fundamentally consists of the account of Odysseus's actions as motivated by a desire to acquire Kleos. At the beginning of the narrative, he is despondent because he fears, having neither died an honorous death in the battle of Troy nor weathered all hardships to receive a glorious homecoming, that he will pass on in obscurity, un-remembered by his fellow men, leaving no mark upon the world. Kleos, as the hope and salvation from this fate, is manifested in a variety of types of action.
In the first kind, Odysseus attempts exploration. He individuates himself from the rest of man by going where others dare not go, and doing what others cannot do. A primary example of this is when Odysseus insists on exploring the Cyclops's cave, despite his men urging him to return home without such detours.
Connected, but not identical, is the Kleos earned in battle: this is the Kleos of proving himself superior to all men around him. When in the Cyclops's cave, Odysseus watches his men die while he devises an ingenious plan to both wound the Cyclops and escape. Later, when finally arriving at his home, Odysseus proves himself superior to all of his wife's suitors by accomplishing feats of strength nobody else can perform. He then proceeds to battle the suitors, killing every last one. This action of gaining Kleos is contingent upon Odysseus's ability to prove himself as an athlete. When challenged by those younger and more youthful than him, Odysseus resorts to a discus-throwing competition, knowing he can win such a competition and thus gain Kleos.
Another, entirely different way of gaining Kleos is through sexual action. Odysseus makes love with the immortal and beautiful sea nymph, Calypso, in such a way that everybody knows Calypso has captured Odysseus on her island. Moreover, Odysseus gains Kleos through telling his own story, rather than having others tell it for him. The times in the narrative in which Odysseus relates his own story are the times in which all the fantastical events including Cyclops, Sirens, nine headed monsters, and gigantic ocean whirlpools appear.
Lastly, Odysseus gains Kleos by one-up-ing his biggest contender. The hero of the Iliad, Achilles, died a glorious death in the battle of Troy, meriting him massive amounts of Kleos. Odysseus enters into hell and talks to Achilles, finding him pitiful, and then ascends back into the world with the security that he can have more Kleos than Achilles.
Odysseus, then, is just like the average Harvard student. Granted, we go to class rather than cyclops' dens, but nevertheless Harvard brims over with the desire for Kleos. We have faced this Kleos from the moment of our acceptance to the 'most prestigious' university in the world. Who of us could stand to go through four years at Harvard without having our accomplishments remembered by a single professor, peer, friend, or family member? The contentment of being "better than" motivates us so that we can feel this Kleos with every good grade, every good athletic performance, every confirmation by a professor or a peer, every performance, every goal reached. Like Odysseus who weathered hell in order to prove himself better than his competitor, we put ourselves through all-nighters and countless hours of work in order to have this Kleos. This Kleos is not only academic, but also social. Each of us has to answer the question, "what did you do last summer?" Our answers are filled with modern-day Sirens, cyclops, and nine-headed sea monsters:internships, shadowing, travelling, fellowships, service projects. Even the hookup culture, driven in part by sensual desire, is also driven by a desire for Kleos. Like Odysseus in Calypso's cave, there exists a kind of glory for being the guy who can hook up with that girl.
This desire for Kleos is incarnated a hundred different ways. But, to take a step back, why are we so obsessed?
We all want immortal glory because the original purpose of humanity is still imprinted on us. We were created to bring God Kleos. In severing our original relationship with God there remains the natural desire to propagate Kleos. We are deceived to turn this God-given desire into the selfish pursuit of our own glory, which is the goal of Odysseus and all too often myself and other Harvard students.
If you wanted your own page in the history books and a worldwide following, this is surely not the way to go about it. Yet, Jesus has received more Kleos than any other figure in world history. How could this be?
Jesus fulfilled the original purpose of humanity in regards to Kleos. Every act was motivated by a desire to bring Kleos to his Father and was an invitation for us to do the same. By giving up his own Kleos at the right hand of God the Father in order to humble himself as a servant among men, Jesus modeled for humanity what becomes of the desire for Kleos when we are in a relationship with God. However, Jesus did not end there. He did not merely set a moral example to be followed. He did not give us the option of treating him as simply a moral teacher. Jesus says that He is the way to restore the relationship with God necessary to fulfill the original role of humanity in regards to Kleos.
So how do we move from the perverted Kleos of Odysseus to the Kleos of Jesus? What does the original role of Kleos lived out in the human life look like?
The answer to this last question looks like a rather direct slap in the face of the average Harvard student. In Philippians 2:3 Paul commands us to "with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves" as we emulate Christ. In doing this, we will "appear as lights in the world" (verse 15). When we act out this attitude of humility and service, the opposite of that of Odysseus, we stand out, we are noticed in ways Odysseus could not be noticed. As 'lights' we do not shine the glory of our own selfish Kleos, but reflect the Kleos of the Almighty God.
To finish I will describe how the story of the rich young man in Luke 18 succinctly describes the struggle of the average Harvard student with Kleos. The rich young man comes to Jesus asking, "what shall I do to inherit eternal life". After some conversation, Jesus tells the rich man, "one thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." (verse 22) Luke tells us that the rich man responds to this command with deep sadness, for "he was extremely rich". Before him lay two paths: the counterfeit path of Odysseus in which immortality comes from self-propagation of his own wealth, his own glory, and his own Kleos, or the true path of Jesus in which eternal life comes from sacrificing his own wealth, his own glory, and his own Kleos in order to propagate and reflect the Kleos of God. But the desire for his own wealth outweighed his desire for true eternal life, and thus he sadly walked away at hearing the necessity of sacrifice in the path of Jesus, the path of the original role of Kleos.
As Harvard students we swim in a wealth of Kleos. Like the rich young man, before us lie two paths. At Harvard the danger of Odyssean Kleos ensnares many of us. We cannot sacrifice all we have done for our own Kleos. We cannot shake the feeling that we must inherit our own eternal life through our own actions. We ignore the call to true eternal life and instead embrace a counterfeit immortality. However, Jesus still offers us the same path to eternal life as he did the rich young man. In this path we must sacrifice our self-propagated Kleos in order to reflect the Kleos of God. In this path we fulfill the original role of Kleos as we aim towards true eternal life.
Christian Schatz hails from the sunny, hidden land of Escondido, California. Academically he is interested in Biology and Philosophy, and plans to attend medical school after college. He likes the imagination.
There is true genius here, and much of the best Kleos that you illustrate so remarkably; beautifully reflecting and enhancing the Glory of God; If it is possible to distribute to this to the classes there now as well as the Reunion Classes, possibly for Commencement, I would be delighted to sponsor, help arrange and underwrite that;; Congratulations on this~~!

Archaeologists unearth Buddhist artefacts in Kilinochchi
Daily Mirror, 4 June 2014
Kilinochchi, Sri Lanka -- Archaeologists have unearthed several Buddhist artefacts including slates, ancient bricks and Sri Pada symbols in excavations carried out in Kilinochchi, Sivanagar and Uriththirapuram, the army said.
Major General Sudantha Ranasinghe, Commander of SFHQ-KLN had requested a team of archaeologists to visit the site after an army troop came across the site a few days ago.
"Archaeologists have recovered stacks of ancient layers of bricks believed to be from a pagoda, slates with the Sri Pada symbol and stone posts with prints of the Sri Pada, confirming the existence of a Buddhist temple from the Polonnaruwa period in Kilinochchi," the army said.
The archaeologists have declared the site a sacred site, pending further excavations, extensive research and comprehensive evaluation, alerting the security forces as well as government authorities of the new discovery.
According to the residents of the area a small Pulleyar Kovil had occupied the site from the 1940s and been replaced by the Shivam Kovil which was built in 1980s and is still standing.
Some alleged that the LTTE had destroyed a large Buddha statue which a Kurukkal (chief priest) had found in 1965 while clearing the jungles around a Kovil at the site.
The priest had come across the ruins of a pagoda, some Buddha statues, stone carvings and a Bo tree in the area.
It was said that a 4 to 6 foot tall Samadhi Buddha statue and a statue of a lion plus a moonstone had existed at the site. The LTTE had however felled the Bo tree and later replaced it with a Palmyrah tree.
Major General Sudantha Ranasinghe, Commander, SFHQ-KLN, Colonel N.P Akuranthilake, 662 Brigade Commander and several senior officers visited the location soon after its discovery by troops serving there.


Word came from the Google Cloud Next '19 developer conference on Tuesday of new possibilities for cloud migration with the reveal of a hybrid cloud platform called Anthos. Google made the announcement, which was also transmitted via live stream, that the platform could help organizations with their transformation plans, especially for enterprises straddling the fence between on-premise and the cloud.
"Today, most of the world's enterprise computing still happens on premise," Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google LLC, told the audience. "It hasn't moved to the cloud yet because the path forward is daunting and full of difficult decisions." The difficulties he outlined include organizations that try to "modernize in-place" without fully committing to the cloud. Enterprises might also discover that the different architectures they work with are not compatible when migrated. There is also a desire among organizations to avoid vendor lock-in, according to Pichai.
Offering a bit of context, he told conference watchers that Google worked on its own experimentation with containers and an internal cluster management tool, Borg, which the company believed could be useful for other organizations. Borg evolved into the open-source container system Kubernetes, yet there was still the issue of organizations working across multiple cloud providers.
The lessons learned from that experience were channeled over the past year into Anthos. The hybrid platform is based on Kubernetes, runs on-premise, and supports multicloud and hybrid cloud environments, according to Pichai. "It lets you write once and run your jobs anywhere—in our cloud, in your data center, or with other cloud providers." Anthos is managed by Google but lets organizations choose their cloud partner.
Enterprises that use Anthos will be able to move on-prem apps to the cloud when they are ready, based on Pichai's statements, and continue to use technology they already have in-house.
Anthos might seem comparable to AWS Outposts but Gartner's Sanjeev Mohan, senior director analyst, says there are differences. "Outposts is a hardware-based solution that the customers can put in their data center," he says. "Anthos has a very broad vision that spans on-premises and any public cloud vendor using Kubernetes-based GKE."
Mohan says he intends to watch to see how Anthos develops over the rest of the year. "It looks very promising," he says. "The path to success will be in how easily the GCP team is able to message the benefits of Anthos to the vast number on enterprises that haven't fully internalized both the cloud and the containerization approaches."
The reveal of Anthos seems to be already opening more doors for some developers. Tigera, an enterprise software provider of security and compliance solutions for Kubernetes platforms, also announced on Tuesday it extended a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, embedding Tigera Calico as a component of Google's GKE On-Prem.
Andy Wright, Tigera's vice president of marketing, spoke directly with InformationWeek about what the unveiling of Anthos means for his company, particularly the flexibility it offers for supporting users who operate in complex cloud environments. "We don't have any customers that only use one cloud provider," he says.
Anthos clears the way for accelerated adoption of Kubernetes, Wright says, as well as for Tigera's software. Amazon EKS and Microsoft Azure AKS have already furthered some adoption of Kubernetes, he says, but software such as Tigera Calico could see greater exposure across varied environments. "Anywhere that our open software is running, our commercial software plugs right on top with the same security and network compliance," he says. This should increase customers' reach and Tigera's footprint along with them, says Wright.
The debut of Anthos allowed Tigera to make public ways its customers can leverage the platform. Tigera secretly conducted engineering work alongside Google, Wright says, in preparation for the launch of Anthos and its software integration.
Now that the prominent cloud providers have all cleared the way for multicloud and multi-environment operations, he sees potential for even faster adoption of Kubernetes. "There is going to be much more need within the industry to be able do this not just between clusters but between clouds," Wright says.
Multicloud has been building up over the years though in practice it has been difficult to implement. "It's still something that's on the CIO agenda to talk about," he says. Wright noticed a trend in the enterprise over the last 12 months where Google was increasingly paired with Azure or AWS compared with combinations of Azure and AWS, though he is not sure what drove the shift.
The presence of Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, who joined the company last November from Oracle, could be fueling Google's appeal among enterprises. "That's just in his DNA dealing with those types of customers," Wright says.
