On Monday, daily morning news show Fox & Friends heavily criticized Ohio State students for creating a flowchart depicting whether a Halloween costume could be considered racist.
Except there was an issue: Fox & Friends linked 1870 Magazine with Ohio State, saying in a video description that it was a magazine affiliated with the university and its administration, according to Chris Davey, an Ohio State spokesman.
Fox & Friends hosts falsely claimed the satirical flowchart published in 1870 magazine was published by a university-affiliated publication. Courtesy of Graphic Designs by Phoebe Davis.
However, this is not the case. 1870 Magazine is run by local media publisher, 614 Media Group. Davey said it is not affiliated with the university and 1870 Magazine's Twitter account also indicated this.
"Administrators have convinced students that it's not about who's right, who's factual, it's about who can say they're the most offended, who can claim offense to the most things, and that moves them up this hierarchy on college campuses," Cabot Phillips, media director of Campus Reform, said on-air during Fox & Friends.
According to Davey, the original report by Fox News Insider stated the flowchart was issued by Ohio State. That report has since been corrected.
The flowchart was initially published as a satirical piece, said Mitch Hooper, associate editor of 1870 Magazine and Ohio State alumnus. While he was a student, Hooper worked at The Lantern.
Nicholas Bellopatrick, a third-year in political science at Ohio State, had first published an article about the flowchart on the website Campus Reform, which describes itself as a "watchdog" for higher education that seeks to expose "bias and abuse" on campuses.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex attended a small event to mark the unveiling of a statue they commissioned of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace on July 1st, on what would have been her 60th Birthday. In addition to the two Dukes, Earl Spencer, Lady Fellows, and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, attendees included members of the sculpture committee, the sculptor Ian Rank-Broadeley, and designer Pip Morrison. The statue was commissioned by the brothers in 2017. Prince William and Prince Harry said:
Today, on what would have been our Mother's 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.
Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother's memory alive.

Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people. The figure of Diana, Princess of Wales is surrounded by three children who represent the universality and generational impact of the Princess's work. The portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion. Beneath the statue is a plinth engraved with the Princess's name and the date of the unveiling. In front of the statue is a paving stone engraved with an extract after the poem 'The Measure of A Man' which featured in the programme for the 2007 memorial service for the Princess:
"These are the units to measure the worth
Of this woman as a woman regardless of birth.
Not what was her station?
But had she a heart?
How did she play her God-given part?"
The bronze statue was sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley and is 1.25x life size. It was cast by Castle Fine Arts Foundry in the traditional "lost-wax" process with a patina of a bluish green over black. The cast is hollow and is supported by a stainless-steel armature. Ian Rank-Broadley said:
"Diana, Princess of Wales was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world, so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry on this statue which commemorates her life.
"We wanted to capture her warmth and humanity while showcasing the impact she had across generations. I hope that people will enjoy visiting the statue and the Sunken Garden, and taking a moment to remember the Princess."

Ahead of the unveiling of the statue of Diana, Princess of Wales at Kensington Palace, details of the newly redesigned Sunken Garden in which the statue will stand were released. The Sunken Garden will be the permanent home of the statue and was one of the Princess's favourite locations. The layout and planting scheme has been designed by Pip Morrison and created by the Gardens and Estates team at Historic Royal Palaces (HRP), led by Deputy Head of Gardens and Estates, Graham Dillamore. The Press Release states:
The new design for the garden by Pip Morrison retains the historic structures within a simplified layout of deeper flower borders and a more generous lawn around the pool to create a calmer and more reflective setting for the statue. The planting design features a number of the Princess's favourite flowers, including forget-me-nots, as well as many other spring and summer blooms in a variety of pastel shades.
Work on the garden began in October 2019, and since then five gardeners – led by Deputy Head of Gardens and Estates at Historic Royal Palaces, Graham Dillamore – have spent a total of 1,000 hours working on planting.More than 4.000 individual flowers have been planted, including:
• over 200 roses, of five varieties including Ballerina and Blush Noisette
• 100 Forget-me-nots
• 300 tulips, of three varieties including White Triumphator and China Pink
• over 500 lavender plants
• over 100 dahlias
• 50 sweet peas
More than 400m of fine, short cut turf has also been laid.
Pip Morrison, who designed the new layout of the garden, said: "This has been a very special project to work on, as the Sunken Garden was a favourite place of Diana, Princess of Wales. We have worked carefully to ensure that the new layout and planting scheme compliments the statue, providing a calming place for people who visit Kensington Palace to remember the Princess."
Graham Dillamore, Deputy Head of Gardens and Estates at Historic Royal Palaces, said: "While she was in residence at Kensington Palace, Diana, Princess of Wales regularly admired the changing floral displays in the Sunken Garden and would always stop to talk with me and the other gardeners who cared for it.
"Over three decades later, I'm honoured to have been part of the team preparing the garden for the installation of this statue. We've incorporated a number of the Princess's favourite flowers into the design, and I hope that visitors to the palace and gardens will enjoy its peaceful setting, and take a moment to reflect on the life and legacy of the Princess."
The Sunken Garden was created in 1908 at the instigation of King Edward VII, in an area of the palace gardens previously occupied by potting sheds and greenhouses. The layout of the garden takes inspiration from the 17th-century Dutch-style Pond Garden at Hampton Court Palace.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 2017, the garden was temporarily renamed 'The White Garden' and planted with flowers in white and soft pastel colours, which took inspiration from items from the Princess's wardrobe then on display in the palace. Designed to be viewed from the Cradle Walk, the garden and statue of Diana, Princess of Wales will be free to view during Historic Royal Palaces' opening hours.

CORONA, CA, May 11, 2017- TCL®, one of the world's largest and America's fastest-growing television brand, today announced pricing and availability of its 4K HDR TCL Roku TV™ models. The new U.S. portfolio, shown for the first time at the 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, includes two premium lines of TCL TVs that deliver Dolby Vision HDR technology and the Roku™ OS, merging superior picture quality with the industry's best smart TV experience.
TCL's C and P series meet the highest standards in HDR technology, supporting both Dolby Vision as well as generic HDR (HDR10). The C-series starts under $700 and will include 55" (55C807, $699), 65" (65C807, $1099) and 75" (75C807, $1999) 4K HDR TCL Roku TV models. TCL's P-series will be offered in 50" (50P607), 55" (55P607), and 65" (65P607) screen sizes with the 55" model available for a special introductory price of $599 via pre-order on Amazon.com starting May 26th.
Leveraging the HDR technology that powers Dolby's most advanced cinemas around the world, Dolby Vision transforms the TV experience in the home by delivering greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors. It is the preferred HDR mastering workflow for major studios and a growing number of creatives, so consumers will have access to more of what they want to watch in HDR, including a growing portfolio of movies and TV episodes. Dolby delivers spectacular experiences in broadcast, gaming, music and other genres, and this expertise serves as the foundation that will enable Dolby Vision to drive the future of entertainment tomorrow.
TCL combines superior 4K UHD picture quality with Dolby Vision in the P-Series, which offers the ultimate HDR imaging experience. With the popular Roku OS offering access to the most streaming content, including the growing collection of Dolby Vision and generic HDR titles, the P-Series gives consumers access to great content and the perfect TV to enjoy it. With HDR Contrast Control Zones, contrast is individually optimized across 72 zones to achieve highly localized areas of striking contrast between bright and dark areas of the image, providing an unrivaled sense of depth and reality. The series also features Wide Color performance with TCL's NBP Photon technology that produces a vibrant and rich color palette that is so advanced it covers nearly all the DCI-P3 color standard.
The C-Series marries stunning 4K high-dynamic range and super slim, elegant design for an upscale TV experience. Like the P-Series, the line supports Dolby Vision and features the popular Roku OS. The C-Series also features Wide Color performance powered by TCL's NBP Photon technology adding another vivid chromatic dimension on top of the striking HDR contrast and sharp 4K resolution to deliver a remarkable visual experience. Because the C-Series features TCL's HDR Dynamic Contrast technology, content is displayed with optimized brightness for each scene ensuring life-like reproduction of images from the brightest brights to the darkest darks.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Blake Bortles was poised in the pocket and nearly perfect in one series of work, a significant improvement from the way his preseason started a year ago.
Bortles completed 6 of 9 passes for 53 yards and scored on a short bootleg in Jacksonville's 24-20 loss to New Orleans in the exhibition opener for both teams Thursday night.
Bortles had a five-interception performance during a training camp practice in 2017 and continued to struggle during joint practices with New England. He was benched two weeks into the preseason and had to earn the starting job back.
A year later, his spot is as solid as just about anyone's on the team. It showed against the Saints.
Playing without two starting offensive linemen — left guard Andrew Norwell (calf) and right tackle Jermey Parnell (precaution) — Bortles led the Jaguars on a 15-play, 79-yard drive to open the game. He converted both third-down passes he faced and finished off the series by going untouched around the right side.
"It's a good way to start," Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said.
Saints star Drew Brees got the night off, allowing backup Tom Savage to play the first half. Savage completed 10 of 14 passes for 70 yards. Brees only played in one preseason game in 2017.
"Early in the game, offensively and defensively, we struggled," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "There's a lot we have to get cleaned up. We struggled the whole night, fundamental basic stuff. We had trouble with who's on the ball, where our split is. We've got to go back to square one with some of that because that didn't look good. It wasn't a smooth operation."
Mark Ingram, suspended the first four games of the regular season for violating NFL policy on performance enhancers, carried seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown. Ingram scored against Jacksonville's backups and after a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty kept the drive alive.
Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey, linebacker Telvin Smith, and running backs Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon remained in the locker room during the national anthem.
"It was a personal thing, man," Fournette said. "Don't really want to get into it. Everybody has their own beliefs and certain things. ... I'm not really trying to get into it. It's just something I believe in. I ain't really trying to go into details about it. Just more focused on my teammates right now."
Yeldon said he "just didn't want to come out" during the anthem. Ramsey was no longer in the locker room when reporters entered after the game.
Smith offered the most insight, but declined to answers specific questions.
The Saints overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win. Jayrone Elliott's strip-sack set up rookie Jonathan Williams' 4-yard touchdown run with 2:16 remaining. Elliott had another strip-sack late in the game, but the Jaguars recovered.
Jaguars backup quarterback Cody Kessler completed 14 of 17 passes for 139 yards, with a touchdown . Jacksonville acquired Kessler in a trade with Cleveland in March.
Saints backup cornerback P.J. Williams appeared to get the wind knocked out him while making a tackle. He jogged to the bench but later headed to the locker room. ... The Jaguars had 10 guys who didn't suit up, including All-Pro defensive end Calais Campbell (calf) and rookie defensive lineman Taven Bryan (abdomen).
Saints host Arizona next Friday night.
Jaguars travel to Minnesota on Tuesday for two joint practices with the Vikings before their exhibition game on Aug. 18.


When after many days of hiking you see Mt. Overlord you know that you are getting closer to the end of the trail. The memories of sweating (and even swearing) during bogs crossings are still coming to your mind, but they are starting to have a taste of a small victory rather than exhaustion. Frequently, you catch yourself smiling when you recall the evenings at campsites when every conversation was starting with a food-related theme and when potato chips tasted like an "au gourmet" dish. While you can still feel the sandblasting your face and cold biting your fingers you recall with satisfaction all these busy nights spent looking for compositions and taking photos. They provided you with breathtaking views seen during the trek and photos to remember them by. To me, the combination of these elements constitutes an amazing adventure.


This past April, the World Health Organization celebrated its annual World Health Day. Each year, the WHO highlights a different global health concern, and the focus this year is on controlling high blood pressure. They explain how hypertension is both preventable and treatable and provide guidance on how stakeholders can reduce hypertension and its impact.
"You can have any color you want so long as it's black," to paraphrase a quote from industrialist Henry Ford. It seems like only yesterday medical instrument colors were equally limited. Not so today. ADC's stethoscopes, sphygs, shears, and other core instruments are produced in a huge selection of colors and finishes, for departmental coding or simply personal preference.
Almost everyone knows that blood pressure is one of the most important measurements in medicine. Every time a patient visits a physician's office or hospital, blood pressure is one of the first vitals taken. Since blood pressure plays such a key role in maintaining overall health, we'll review the basics of blood pressure and some of the terminology used in its measurement.
You hear it on the news all the time, some product has been recalled from the market due to a defect or safety concern. It touches each of us, from concern over the foods we eat to the consumer products we purchase. One of the most effective ways of combating potential defects and non-conformities is with test protocols and equipment that ensures a higher level of quality.
Warranty coverage can, and should, be an important consideration when making a purchase decision, particularly on bigger-ticket items where replacement costs are relatively high. But, buyers beware: a warranty isn't always worth the paper it's written on. First and foremost, you need to know a little something about the company issuing the warranty.
May was established as National Hypertension Education Month and for good reason: the statistics are alarming. Nearly 1/3 of U.S. adults – 68 million of us – suffer from high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The good news is hypertension can be controlled and even prevented. But first we must understand what we can do to lower our values.
One of the most common questions we get here at ADC is how to choose the stethoscope that's' right for you. In general there is no one scope that's "right" for any particular healthcare professional. It's more of a well-choreographed dance, one that balances performance, comfort, technology, budget, and style. In the end, it really comes down to personal choice.
Welcome, thanks for visiting our site and the blog at adctoday.com. We envision our blog as a place to share information about all things related to core diagnostic and personal products for healthcare. Whether it be tips and tricks on getting the most out of your diagnostic instrument, to celebrating the latest developments in vitals monitoring, we want to hear from you.

Children at Mattakelle
Mattakelle Convent and Tea Plantations
Melville Priory
Residents at Chilaw, Sri Lanka
St Joan's, Ja Ela
The first home in Sri Lanka was opened in 1973 with one sister caring for a small group of elderly people. Eight years later a property was donated to the Archdiocese of Colombo and this was entrusted to the sisters to further their work and in 1983 Melville Home was formally opened with three sisters and eight residents. In 2009, Melville was designated as a Priory and in 2018 an extension of the old building was completed and provides 16 extra rooms, a new kitchen, washing-up area and laundry. Melville Priory can now accommodate more than 60 residents. It is also the Novitiate House.
A second house, St Joan's, was built in 1988 at Ja-Ela, a short distance from Colombo airport. There are about 24 residents here and the small community also help in the nearby Parish with Catechism and the distribution of Communion on Sundays.
Villa Maria Convent was opened in Chilaw in 2008 and this was only possible due to the kindness of a benefactor who gave us the land to build on. Likewise another donor has given us land at Horana where the building of our fourth home is nearing completion.
Two sisters are living at Mattakelle, in the middle of a tea estate, where they run a small pre-school. Through the children, the sisters are able to reach out to the local families, and they also help in the Parish with Sunday school teaching and Catechism.


When damage and misfortune strikes, insurance helps to provide financial recovery and assistance to people so they can move on with their lives as peacefully and completely as possible.
Speed, fairness (accuracy), and minimal waste or confusion in the process are extremely important for everyone concerned - for the insurance clients, the insurance companies, and the communities impacted by damage or injury.
This is why drones are rapidly becoming the must-have tool for insurance companies that value a fast, accurate, and cost-effective process to assess and process claims of property damage from their customers.
Drones also provide more safety for the insurance adjusters who benefit from a birds-eye view of property or an incident area. Roof damage from trees, hail, or storms can now be viewed in high definition video from the safety of a sidewalk, not a 20-foot extension ladder or an expensive cherry-picker lift.
Here are four notable examples of insurance companies that are now using drones for insurance. Click the link or the image to open a new window with more details.
Allstate Insurance uses drones to get a roof-top view of house damage.
This article from Dronegenuity in late 2016 (date not specified) describes how AIG, State Farm, and USAA have been using drones for property claims.
These examples prove that drones are now on the scene, delivering great service and value in the insurance industry.
Looking farther forward, when insurance companies learn how to share appropriate data and information with local public safety agencies (e.g. fire and rescue departments) and federal agencies (e.g. FEMA), this should help save more lives, improve emergency response efforts, and save money from every taxpayer who lives in a community where disaster strikes.
TAKE NOTE! Using a drone for insurance assessment and adjusting is not for amateurs or hobbyists. Before you fly your drone over any property that has damage, be sure you know your local laws and airspace restrictions. If you are a drone pilot in the USA, be completely familiar with the information on the FAA's website here: http://knowbeforeyoufly.org/.
EXTRA IMPORTANT! Flying your drone in the vicinity of public safety / emergency response efforts can lead to civil or criminal penalties and fines. It can also cost lives.
What if a medevac helicopter has been called to the scene to rescue someone with life-threatening injuries? If an unidentified drone is spotted near the incident scene, the helicopter will not be able to land. Don't put others lives or missions at risk by operating your drone in a careless or reckless manner.
If you DO see a drone flying over a property, especially one that is damaged, don't assume it has ill intent. It may be the latest and greatest tool to benefit your local insurance agency, thus helping your neighbor get compensated faster and better than ever before.
P.S. Are you a drone pilot looking for the best resources and partners to help you succeed? Check out our website for sections on Standards, Education, and Partners (many with discounts or special offers for DPF members).

The Strictly Come Dancing announcements are coming through thick and fast, with four announced in less than 24 hours.
But while the first three contestants (David James, Chris Ramsey and EastEnders actress Emma Barton) might be more widely known the fourth celebrity has left some people scratching their heads.
But while she may be unknown to many of us Saffron Barker is almost certain to appeal to a younger audience. The social media star has a huge number of views on YouTube (15million a month) and in 2017 was a best-selling author with Saffron Barker Vs Real Life .
Saffron is not the first YouTuber to take part, with Joe Sugg making it all the way to the final last year.

Speaking on Heart FM today she said: She said: "I am really excited to go on the Strictly journey and am feeling very grateful for the opportunity! I'm looking forward to learning all of the dances, finding out who my partner is, getting to wear the costumes and to just experience this once in a lifetime opportunity."
Stephen Mulhern spotted filming In For a Penny gameshow in Cabot Circus
Originally from Brighton the 19-year-old started her YouTube channel in 2016. Since then she has gone on tour with boyband The Vamps and ammassed more than four million subscribers.
Bookies currently have odds on speculative contestants including names like Jodie Comer, Una Healy, Michelle Visage and Chris Evans.
Radio DJ Evans revealed last year that he had spoken to Strictly show bosses, but more recent reports have suggested he may not be among this year's line-up.

Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg plays MID for the League of Legends Team Team SoloMid.
In the time on Team SoloMid Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg has an average KDA from 5/2/5 over 140 Games.
Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg entered the 2014 season as one of the most hyped players in the NA LCS. A former superstar of the European powerhouse, Ninjas in Pyjamas, his extensive champion pool propelled TSM to season-long dominance in the 2014 NA LCS spring split. Though ultimately falling to C9 in the finals, Bjergsen's talent and following elected him to the 2014 All-Star Challenge in Paris. Although Team Fire was unable to clinch the victory, it was not by any fault of Bjergsen -- his play was impeccable. Bjergsen brought that high level of play into the summer split and put on a clinic week after week, simply dominating his lane opposition. Its no secret that Bjergsen is one of the biggest reasons that TSM wins as much as they do. He is a force. Most of the time you cant kill him and you certainly cant ignore him. That sort of player is guaranteed to bring wins to his team. The question remains, however, is Bjergsen dominant enough to bring that same level of threat to bear against the best teams in the world? Hell have the opportunity to answer that question this year at Worlds 2014.


In a temporary settlement of a dispute that led employees to picket in front of the county courthouse last year, about 100 court reporters will get $2,300 each to help cover a huge jump in their health care costs.
But the payments aren't a permanent fix, and talks will restart in September between the reporters' union and court officials. Court reporters transcribe every hearing and trial.
The dispute started in 2012, when the court cut the reporters from 40 hours a week to 35 and deemed them part-time employees. That meant a 12.5 percent pay cut and a spike in health care premiums that took effect last year. One veteran reporter, Debi Pinkham, said her monthly payments went from $400 to $1,200.
The increase was so dramatic because the court pays 75 percent of health care premiums for full-time employees, but only half as much – 37.5 percent – for part-time workers.
In December, the court and the union representing reporters agreed to split a one-time health-insurance subsidy for reporters of $2,316 a person.
That will cost the court and the union, the Orange County Employees Association, about $115,000 apiece.
Jennifer Muir, assistant general manager for the union, said union officials and reporters hope the state restores some court funding between now and September when contract talks restart.
Orange County Superior Court officials declined to comment beyond the signed agreement, spokeswoman Gwen Vieau said.
State funding for Orange County courts in the most recent year was $13 million less than it had been two years prior. The court used $19 million in reserve funds to cover a revenue shortage in its 2013-14 budget.
But next year's revenue is expected to fall $40 million short of planned expenses, and court officials have said state rules will prevent them from using reserve money to cover that gap.
As they stood with protest signs, reporters said they understood the need for shared sacrifice at a time of budget cuts. They wouldn't have complained if everyone took furlough days or had to share a similar increase in health care costs. But they said they were singled out, perhaps because of a perception they made too much money.
An experienced reporter could earn $78,000 to $93,000 a year before the cuts, one said. Reporters said they've earned those salaries through state qualifications and years of experience.
At the time, Muir compared the court's move to corporations making workers part time to get out of paying benefits.
She contrasted the treatment of the reporters with that of the judges who are ultimately their bosses. Judges, who make more than $178,000, pay nothing toward their own health care.
Meanwhile, reporters said the changes forced them to cancel vacations or take out loans to send kids to college. One reporter said her take-home pay went down $21,000 a year.

The British-Iranian Hostages Iran Labels as Terrorists
Niloufar Rostami
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian charity worker for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has been sentenced to five years in prison
Aras Amiri, a student and an employee for the British Council, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison
Kameel Ahmady, a British-Iranian social anthropologist, was arrested on August 11 and is now under interrogation. The charges against him are unknown
Iran's judiciary has claimed that dual nationals currently jailed in the Islamic Republic are connected to "terrorism" and had been supported by foreign intelligence agencies [Persian link].
Speaking at a press conference on August 27, judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Esmaili indirectly defended arrests carried out by the intelligence ministry and the Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Organization, mentioning just one of the jailed Iranian-British dual nationals by name. He also mentioned Aras Amiri, an Iranian citizen who had been living in Britain prior to her arrest, and Ali Johari, an Iranian who has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for spying for Israel and two years for "illegitimate gains" by accepting money from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is one of at least four Iranian-British citizens currently held in Evin Prison. A charity worker for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, she was arrested on April 3, 2016 and sentenced to five years in prison in September 2016.
Kameel Ahmady, a British-Iranian social anthropologist, was arrested on August 11, 2019 and taken to Evin Prison. As of now, the charges against him are unknown.
Anousheh Ashouri, a British-Iranian retired businessman, has been sentenced to 10 years for spying for Mossad, and two years for "acquiring illegitimate wealth." He was one of the prisoners Gholam Hossein Esmaili mentioned by name during the press conference.
Aras Amiri is a 33-year-old Iranian national, a student, a permanent resident of the UK and an employee of the British Council, a British organization specializing in international cultural and educational opportunities. She was arrested on March 14, 2018 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison after confessing to espionage under pressure.
Amiri's was the first case Esmaili cited in his press conference. "A month ago, not in a formal press conference but in an [informal talk], I talked about individuals affiliated to the UK," he said. "Since the verdict at that time was not yet final I did not mention the person's name or specifics but — like the [Persian] expression says, if you just pick up the stick, the thieving cat knows that it must escape — relatives of this person understood whom I was talking about." Although he had refrained from naming her before, he mentioned Amiri by name during the August 27 press conference.
Funny but not Accurate
"In my view, we would have much fewer problems if Mr. Spokesman was as accurate in judicial matters as he is funny and witty," Aras Amiri's cousin Mohsen Omrani, who lives in the US, told IranWire. "First, there is no charge of 'espionage' in the indictment against Aras. She has been charged with creating and running an illegal group, which itself is also unfounded. Aras was an ordinary employee of the British Council and was not a manager. She has pointed this out many times herself. At the same time, her family and her lawyers have repeatedly asked the court to announce the name of the group that the judiciary claims has been created or controlled by Aras, but the court has offered no such evidence because this group does not exist."
In July, Aras Amiri wrote a letter to Ebrahim Raeesi, the Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic, calling for him to honor her human rights, describing how she has been unlawfully treated and stating that she and her family have both endured insults from Iranian authorities while she has been under arrest. She wrote that after being interrogated and posting bail, her interrogators contacted her and asked her to work for them. "I rejected their explicit offer to work with them and told them that I can only do an official job in my own specialized field and nothing else," she wrote.
Amiri concluded her letter by asking Judiciary Chief Ebrahim Raeesi to take action to ensure her rights are restored and justice is carried out. As of now, she has received no answer from Ebrahim Raeesi regarding her letter.
What is Iran up to?
"It is not clear what is going on in Iran and how many more are going to be arrested in this way by the Iranian government," said Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard Ratcliffe in reaction to statements by the judiciary spokesman. He said he was scheduled to meet with Dominic Raab, the new British Foreign Secretary, on Monday, September 2 to talk with him about his wife and other imprisoned dual nationals in Iran. "A committed government," he said, "would not abandon its ordinary citizens as state hostages to defend themselves without any support."
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a dual Iranian-UK national, was due to fly home from visiting family in Iran when Revolutionary Guards arrested her at the airport on April 3, 2016. Her daughter Gabriella, who was two years old at the time and who holds a UK passport, was with her, and is now staying with her family in Tehran.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe was held for some time at an unknown location in Kerman and was then transferred to Ward 2A of Evin Prison, run by the Revolutionary Guards. According to the Free Nazanin campaign, Zaghari-Ratcliffe was forced to confess while wearing a hood. She was kept in solitary confinement, which is illegal under Iranian law. She was then transferred to Evin Prison's women's ward, where she has been held since.
On September 6, 2016, a revolutionary court sentenced Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to five years in prison on the charge of espionage; the appeals court upheld the verdict.
Where is Kameel Ahmady?
Kameel Ahmady, a British-Iranian social anthropologist, was arrested on Sunday, August 11, 2109 and taken to Evin Prison. His wife, Shafagh Rahmani, told IranWire she still had no news about what ward he is incarcerated in at Evin, what authority had arrested him or what charges he faces. According to Rahmani, Ahmady's arrest warrant was issued by Branch 1 of Evin Courthouse, which is also reviewing his case.
She told IranWire that Ahmady became a British national about 25 years ago but he had been living in Iran except "for short visits to London for the last 15 years." The couple have a three-year-old son.
Since August 11, Rahmani says, she has gone to Evin Courthouse repeatedly to inquire about her husband and his health but, so far, her requests to meet him in person or for a doctor to examine him have been rejected. "The examining magistrate said the assistant prosecutor must agree with the meeting," she says. "However, the assistant prosecutor said that he has no problem with the meeting but it is the examining magistrate that must agree with it. In short, I have yet to meet my husband. On Tuesday, August 27, I asked the examining magistrate of Branch 1 to agree for my husband to be examined by a doctor that they trust and to give me the results, but I have yet to receive an answer to my request."
"During all this time," says Ahmady's wife, "he has called home only three times and has spoken with me and our little son. Of course, since he was calling in the presence of the examining magistrate, he could not speak freely, but he sounded good." She says that on August 28 the examining magistrate at Evin Court's Branch 1 rejected their choice of lawyers and told her that Ahmady can only choose from the list of lawyers approved by the judiciary.
The couple's son, Alan have a three-year-son by the name of Alan and Rahmani told IranWire that, Alan, their son, is restless. "We have told him that Papa Kameel is traveling but whenever he hears a noise from behind the door he thinks it is his father and rushes to the door. I am worried not only about my husband but also about the psychological condition of my child."
During the week of August 26, while Kameel Ahmady was under interrogation at Evin Prison on unknown charges, his latest book, The Story of Forbidden City — which examines the situation of the LGBT community in Iran — was published in Persian by Mehri Publishers based in London.
Kameel Ahmady was born in the Kurdish city of Mahabad in the Iranian province of West Azerbaijan. He studied publishing and economics and holds a BA from the University of London and an MA in Social Anthropology and Visual Anthropology from the University of Kent in Canterbury. Ahmady is the recipient of the 2017 Truth Honour Award presented by the London Law University and the Iranian Kurdish Women's Rights Organization. In 2018 he also received an award from George Washington University for his books and articles on sexuality, children and ethnic minorities.
Breaking Silence after Two Years
During his press conference, the judiciary spokesman announced the name of another British-Iranian man, Anousheh Ashouri, a 65-year-old retired London-based businessman whose arrest had not been reported by the media until then. Esmaili claimed that Ashouri worked for Israel's Mossad and has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. He has also been sentenced to another two years in prison for "illicitly acquiring money" and was fined $36,600. Esmaili, however, did not provide any details about the charges.
Ashouri's family told The Times that he had been arrested in August 2017 and was sentenced several months before Esmaili went public with the news. His daughter, Elika, an actress who lives in London, said the family was surprised that the authorities in Tehran had announced his sentence.
According to her, Ashouri had been traveling between Iran and the UK since he was 17 but he was arrested in 2017 when he was visiting his mother in Iran. "My father had nothing to do with politics and always told us not to engage in politics," said Elika. "He is a peaceful man. He was thinking of going on cruises during his retirement. We do not know why such a charge against him has been announced. This is a chess game and they have decided to move the pieces."
She said that her father has not been able to see a lawyer and that she has no way of finding out on what evidence he has been sentenced.
Ashouri's family was silent for two years about his arrest, as were both the Iranian and British governments, for unknown reasons — though perhaps because the Iranian government advised the family that the case would be dealt with quickly if it did not go public. After the announcement, a British Foreign Office spokesperson said the UK was supporting Ashouri's family and the embassy in Tehran was continuing to request consular access. "The treatment of all dual nationals detained in Iran is a priority and we raise their cases at the most senior levels," said a statement by the Foreign Office. "We urge Iran to let them be reunited with their families."
As an article published in the Guardian states, the verdicts were handed down amid tensions between Iran and Britain over the seizure of oil tankers in recent weeks. An Iranian tanker was seized off the British overseas territory of Gibraltar on July 4 on suspicion of shipping oil to Syria in breach of European Union sanctions. That vessel has been released but Iran continues to hold a British-flagged tanker it seized in the Gulf on July 19 for breaking "international maritime rules."

"...as a Chilean, having the privilege of hearing about my own country's history from someone who participated in the transition to democracy has been a very enriching experience."
What was your job when working under Ricardo Lagos?
I have been working for President Lagos since 2010. Throughout this period, I have assisted him in a wide variety of activities, ranging from doing research for his academic and policy papers to coordinating his daily responsibilities and schedule during his stay at Brown.
The best takeaway from assisting President Lagos has been having the opportunity to discuss relevant political phenomena taking place not only in Chile, but also in Latin America and other regions with him. Additionally, as a Chilean, having the privilege of hearing about my own country's history from someone who participated in the transition to democracy has been a very enriching experience.
How do you think your work experience has affected your career at Brown?
As a political scientist who studies politicians and policymakers, learning from the experience of such a renowned political leader has given me a different perspective on how to understand political processes. I have become more aware of the different dynamics, actors, and variables at play in the political decision-making processes, and the constraints and limitations politicians face on a daily basis. Learning the inner workings of governance from someone who has first-hand knowledge on the subject – not only in Chile but also at a more global scale – has certainly contributed to improve my own research.


The two key processes used at ABC are the preparation of the metal surface and the application of a durable protective coating to prevent corrosion. These processes are briefly described below.
Abrasive blasting is the first process used in providing corrosion protection to a metallic object. This process involves using high pressure air to deliver coarse grit to the surface. It is necessary in order to prepare the surface for coating. The blasting process has two main objectives: to clean the surface of all contaminants and to provide an "anchor pattern" for better coating adhesion. For heavy, industrial applications, the use of metallic grit has many advantages over other preparation options (like sandblasting) such as the creation of a better surface profile, fewer health risks, less waste, less dust, and the ability to be recycled and reused. For parts that requires a less aggressive surface preparation process, we have a booth configured for glass bead media. Both of our blast booths are set up in an in-door, controlled environment with state-of-the-art climate control, recycling, and dust control equipment installed.
The process of thermal arc metalizing consists of continually feeding two metal wires to the spray gun at a uniform rate of speed. At the gun, the wires, which are electrically charged, are brought together at an intersecting point and an arc is struck between them. The heat generated melts the metal and a stream of compressed air atomizes the molten metal and propels it to the surface. The molten metal bonds to the substrate, producing a high quality, high adhesion coating. Note that adequate surface preparation is critical to insure the effectiveness of the applied coating. The wire arc process results in high adhesive and cohesive strengths, low oxide content, high spray rates, low power consumption and high-energy efficiency when compared to all other available methods.
Compared to other techniques for corrosion control, thermal arc metalizing shows distinct advantages. Conventional paints and coatings (like powder coating and liquid zinc) do not provide the degree of protection that metalized coatings offer, both as barriers and sacrificially. Also, conventional coatings require frequent maintenance and repairs due to flaking, cracking, and inconsistent application. For products where weight is an issue, thermal arc metalized coatings can provide superior protection with less add-on weight. Metalized coatings can substantially decrease the re-coat cycle, and in many instances, completely eliminate it.
Another corrosion protection option is galvanizing. The nature of the galvanized coating is such that only a thin layer at the surface is pure zinc. Closer to the steel substrate, the morphology of the galvanizing changes as it alloys with the iron. On the other hand, metalized zinc coatings are pure zinc, which makes the metalized zinc coating much more efficient than galvanizing since the entire coating thickness is used for corrosion protection. Thermal arc metalizing again offers superior value and a lower life-cycle cost.
Thermal arc metalizing is a far superior material, system, and application method than the alternatives. It is used in high end projects which require a sacrificial coating system with an extended life expectancy and little or no repairs. While the initial cost of a metalized coating may be higher than a conventional coating, the life-cycle cost will be lower, bringing greater value to your business.
Liquid coatings are applied in our environmentally controlled paint booth. We apply all types of liquid coatings from single component alkyds and enamels to high end epoxy barrier coatings and ultra-violet protective urethane systems. All materials are applied in compliance with manufacturers' latest written data with quality control provided by a NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) certified inspector. ABC has two environmentally friendly booths for liquid coating application.
ABC's Spartanburg location now has powder coating capability. Powder coatings are applied electrostatically using dry powder and then cured using our temperature controlled oven. A hard, tough finish is produced suitable for lawn furniture, outdoor railings, automotive parts, storage racks, etc. We have two environmentally-controlled booths: one for the application of the powder and a heated booth for curing the applied coating.

Despite its caustic sounding name, acid reflux is not the newest rock band the young people are listening to. Acid reflux is sometimes referred to as heartburn; a condition where your stomach contents rises up into your esophagus. Like loud music, heartburn can be painful and irritating. Luckily, for most of us, we simply take an antacid and the pain goes away. For others, the pain can be quite intense and return frequently. This month, we shall learn what acid reflux is and what it isn't.
What normally happens when we eat or drink is the food travels down our esophagus and then into our stomach. There is a tight band of muscles at the top of our stomach called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which keeps all of your stomach contents where it should be. Sometimes the muscles of the LES can relax, allowing the acidic contents of the stomach to come up into the esophagus. This is referred to as acid reflux. The resulting irritation to the esophagus causes a burning sensation, which is usually felt just behind the breastbone and below the throat. The onset of this pain can be quite intense, but it usually goes away when a person takes antacids.
There is one thing that acid reflux is not: a medical condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD can be thought of as a persistent form of acid reflux. The symptoms of GERD are the same as for acid reflux, except that people who have GERD may also show symptoms of a dry cough or difficulty swallowing. GERD can also cause asthma-like symptoms. If you are having persistent acid reflux symptoms, more than twice a week, it might be wise to bring these symptoms to the attention of your Physician.
For many people, non-drug options work very well. The first thing is to avoid any foods or beverages that trigger your acid reflux. Some foods that can trigger heartburn are coffee, mint teas, spicy or fatty foods. If you must eat your trigger foods, take an antacid prior to or just after the meal. If you smoke, stop. Try not to lie down for at least three hours after eating a meal. If acid reflux is a problem at night, try raising the head of your bed. You only need to raise it by approximately 6-8 inches, about the thickness of a large phonebook. Some people find it helpful to eat smaller meals more frequently, about 5-6 meals throughout day.
One health tip that I feel is over looked is to eat slowly. People tend to eat their meals too fast, I feel this causes them to eat too much. This is an old weight loss tip that can be helpful for heartburn sufferers. Consciously eat your meals. As a parent, I am often at fault for this. I fill my plate and stuff my face so fast that I am done before my little one is done. The next time you have a meal; take reasonably sized bites, put your fork/spoon down between bites and chew your mouthful at least 20 times. This delay in eating may seem odd at first, but it can be very helpful. It allows your stomach to fill slowly and gives you the signal that you are full, before you eat too much and feel 'stuffed', which can lead to heartburn.
The other way to help treat acid reflux is to reduce stomach acid content. The best treatment for mild and infrequent heartburn is calcium carbonate tablets (Tums, Rolaids, etc). These products neutralize stomach acid and help to reduce that burning feeling caused by the stomach acid. They tend to work quite well and have few side effects. You can also get sodium bicarbonate products that act similarly to calcium carbonate tablets. Usually these products are effervescent (ie. Bromoseltzer). These products contain a lot of sodium and might be contraindicated for people with high blood pressure. Ask your Physician or Heart Pharmacist if these antacids would be right for you.
Another option for acid reflux relief is an alginic acid containing product (Gavison, etc). This is a natural product, as it is derived from brown seaweed. The alginic acid forms a layer of foam that floats on top of the stomach contents. This helps to protect the esophagus from the acidic contents of the stomach, and thus stops any burning sensation.
If these two options do not help your heartburn, you can try the group of medicines referred to as the H2 blockers. You might know them better as ranitidine (Zantac) or famotidine (Pepcid). These medications work by actually stopping your body from producing stomach acid. They are especially helpful if you know that a certain meal will cause heartburn. They are more effective than the antacids, but should be taken about ½ hour before meals. There are a few side effects with taking medications to help reduce stomach acid. The most common ones are digestive problems; bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. This is because your body needs some stomach acid to completely digest your food. With prolonged use, these medications can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The most common deficiencies include: vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium and other minerals. If you are taking acid suppressing medications you might want to consider taking a multivitamin. Make certain any mineral supplements you are taking are in the citrate form (ie. calcium citrate). The citrate form of minerals are not as dependent on stomach acid for adequate absorption.
I hope this article has answered all of your burning questions about acid reflux. If you do suffer from acid reflux, first try the non-drug ideas I mentioned above. These options will usually help to relieve your symptoms. Another worrisome issue is that the pain from a heart attack is similar to that caused by acid reflux. If chest pain appears suddenly, does not occur after eating or happens after physical exertion, you should seek medical attention quickly. Eat well and eat slowly; you should only have to experience your meal once.

What Is The Journey?
A Tool to Accomplish a Purpose
The Journey is a tool designed to accomplish a specific purpose. The purpose is to know God, to populate heaven, to see men come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to prosper the gospel of Jesus Christ in our generation. It's about accomplishing the Great Commission that Jesus gave us using the same plan and method He used when He came 2000 years ago—MEN!
He came into a fallen world that was much like ours today. It was in turmoil politically, culturally, socially, and spiritually. Men saw His power and supernatural authority and they all had their particular plan for His life. They wanted Him to be a guerrilla warfare general of an army of zealots, or to take sides with corrupt politicians, to be a religious guru, or to be their King.
He, of course, would have none of that. He told them His kingdom was not of this world, and that His ways were much different from their ways. He demonstrated that by choosing and calling 12 of the most ragtag, unqualified group of ordinary men together to accomplish the extraordinary mission you could ever imagine; he entrusted them with His great mission of redeeming lost mankind back to God. He commissioned them to be His emissaries in going after His men. What a plan! What a mission! What a life!
Jesus did this by starting the first men's ministry. He created men to be leaders, to take risks and to get things done. So, He took them on a journey to intimacy "with Him." After all, he was unlike any leader they had ever seen, and they were attracted to this Rabbi who seemed to know where He was going and who found a value and worth in them that no one else could or would. He took lots of risks and did things in unorthodox ways, and that attracted them to Him even more. He was bold, hard to threaten, tough, gentle, strong, loving and risk-taking in a way that gave them the idea that this man had nothing to lose. He was fearless, and He definitely got things done. Jesus recruited them, ate with them, traveled with them, modeled His life and values for them, and taught them how to live and how to die. Then He gave them the mission that would consume them for the rest of their lives, and that would see all but two die as martyrs for His cause.
The Journey is an attempt to do the same thing that Jesus did when He was hands-on ministering to His men. Its goal is to produce the same kind of men that He produced who basically, after the time they spent with Him, were equipped, ready and willing to spiritually turn an upside down world right side up.
Our world, nation, families, churches, and culture desperately needs men like these today.
The Three Main Components of The Journey
The first component is his personal "treasure hunt" during the days between sessions. This is the core of the Journey and the place where heart transformation takes place. This "treasure hunt" guides the participant towards the "Inner Chamber" where intimacy with Christ is discovered and experienced.
The second component is the one-on-one time between the guide and the participant. This individual time is critical to the participant's journey as the guide and the participant share their life stories.
The third component is the bi-weekly sessions. These sessions are designed for the group to discuss their journey with each other and share the discovered truth. Each session enhances the other two components and ties The Journey together.

House and time at Malvern: Sch, 1906 - 1910.
Died: 08 July 1916 aged 24 in France. Died of wounds.
Son of Horace Arthur and S. Kate Fisher, Arno Vale, Nottingham. b 1892.
Modern III - Upper Shell. House Prefect.
Trinity College, Cambridge; B.A. (Third Class Theological Tripos).
Great War, Inns of Court O.T.C. 1914; Captain Sherwood Foresters.D.S.O., Despatches.
'The fourth and youngest brother of a School House family, John Wilfred Fisher throughout his school career was a sound and trustworthy boy, full of quiet purpose. The following extract from the "Times" shows how he rose to the occasion, and what a loss he is to his country: "Captain John Wilfred Fisher, D.S.O., Sherwood Foresters, died of wounds on July 8. He joined the Inns of Court O.T.C. in August 1914, obtained a commission in the Sherwood Foresters, and went to the front a year ago. Captain Fisher won the D.S.O. in March for conspicuous gallantry, the official record of his conduct being as follows: 'When the enemy blew up a portion of the front trench he drove off their attack and skilfully organised the defence. He continued fighting long after he was wounded, and set a fine example to all around him.' Captain Fisher, who was mentioned in despatches in April, had been four times wounded within nine months—the last time fatally." ' (Malvernian, Jul 1916).
He was wounded at Sanctuary Wood, Ypres, Belgium, 30th October 1915 by a German sniper and rejoined his battalion 11th December 1915 at Ypres, when he took over command of "D" Company. He was wounded again 16th February 1916 at Ypres.
He was awarded the D.S.O. with the following citation: "For conspicuous gallantry on the 14th February 1916, near Ypres/Commines Canal. When the enemy blew up a portion of the front line trench, he drove off their attack and skilfully organised the defence. He continued fighting long after he was wounded, and set a fine example to all around him".
He was again wounded when in the Quadrangle support line near Contalmaison on the Somme, France, 7th July 1916, and died the following day.

The truth is, the airlines hardly notice that you're gone.
If that's the case, why did UA start a "surprise and delight" upgrade program last year? Why did they bump up the status one level for many MP members?
The modeling is not difficult, but you would have to want to do it. Pick a random sample of elites current/former and ask them what their travel patterns are, and who they are flying, and what they think of each airline. If they answer you are flying them less, ask a series of detailed questions as to why.
This. My annual spend on UA has dropped by half from what it used to be. In this data-driven era, running that kind of search for customers like me shouldn't be difficult.


In terms of overall gaming performance, the Intel Core i7-5820K 6-Core 3.3GHz is massively better than the AMD Opteron 6180 SE when it comes to running the latest games. This also means it will be less likely to bottleneck more powerful GPUs, allowing them to achieve more of their gaming performance potential.
The Core i7-5820K 6-Core was released over three years more recently than the Opteron 6180 SE, and so the Core i7-5820K 6-Core is likely to have far better levels of support, and will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Opteron 6180 SE when running the latest games.
The Opteron 6180 SE has 6 more cores than the Core i7-5820K 6-Core. 12 cores is probably excessive if you mean to just run the latest games, as games are not yet able to harness this many cores. The cores in the Core i7-5820K 6-Core is more than enough for gaming purposes. However, if you intend on running a server with the Opteron 6180 SE, it would seem to be a decent choice.
The Core i7-5820K 6-Core and Opteron 6180 SE are not from the same family of CPUs, so their clock speeds are by no means directly comparable. Bear in mind, then, that while the Core i7-5820K 6-Core has a 0.8 GHz faster frequency, this is not always an indicator that it will be superior in performance, despite frequency being crucial when trying to avoid GPU bottlenecking. In this case, however, the difference is probably a good indicator that the Opteron 6180 SE is superior.
The Core i7-5820K 6-Core has a 1024 KB bigger L2 cache than the Opteron 6180 SE, but on the other hand, it is the Opteron 6180 SE that has a 12273 MB bigger L3 cache than the Core i7-5820K 6-Core. In this case, the L2 size is probably what counts, so the Core i7-5820K 6-Core is likely superior in this area.
Both the Core i7-5820K 6-Core and the Opteron 6180 SE have the same TDP of 140 Watts, but the Core i7-5820K 6-Core has a lower lithography size, and so will affect your yearly electricity bills less adversely.
Its performance is overall identical to Core i7-4930K and is thus exceptionally good and enough for even the most demanding applications. Opteron is AMD's x86 server and workstation processor line, and was the first processor which supported the AMD64 instruction set architecture (known generically as x86-64). It was released on April 22, 2003 with the SledgeHammer core (K8) and was intended to compete in the server and workstation markets, particularly in the same segment as the Intel Xeon processor. Processors based on the AMD K10 microarchitecture (codenamed Barcelona) were announced on September 10, 2007 featuring a new quad-core configuration. The most-recently released Opteron CPUs are the Piledriver-based Opteron 4300 and 6300 series processors, codenamed "Seoul" and "Abu Dhabi" respectively.

Sara Gilbert Is 'So Excited' About The 'Roseanne' Spinoff 'The Conners'
Alyssa Fikse 06.25.18 1 year ago 4 Comments
ABCC
The ongoing saga surrounding the Roseanne reboot has been a cultural touchstone for much of 2018. The classic sitcom was revived and was met with high ratings initially, and was even renewed for a second season after a highly viewed premiere. However, its controversial star Roseanne Barr continued to tweet increasingly problematic things until a racially charged tweet about Obama advisor Valerie Jarret was a bridge too far for ABC, who canceled the show following the backlash.
However, in the wake of Barr's firing, ABC decided to spin off The Conners, focusing on Sara Gilbert's Darlene and John Goodman's Dan, without Barr's creative or financial involvement. This move dealt with the issue of Barr while also rescuing the jobs of many. It also fixed the potentially gaping hole in ABC's line up.
Gilbert went on The Talk on Monday to discuss the show's considerably brighter future, exclaiming "I'm so excited. Thank you so much." Gilbert previously went on The Talk at the beginning of June when Barr's racist tweets got the show canceled and many people were out of jobs. She expressed her support of ABC's decision but was obviously pained by the way things had shaken out. While it is still uncertain how The Conners will move on without its central star, it is said to occur following "a sudden turn of events."

Over the past few days, I had the pleasure of attending the Credit Union National Association Government Affairs Conference in Washington, DC. With over 4,200 attendees, the GAC is the largest credit union conference in the world with the largest exhibitor hall of any financial services conference in the world.
During my time in DC, I wrote four blog posts on the CU Water Cooler discussion blog.
I break down the major differences between Canadian and U.S. credit unions.
Elisabeth Leamy from ABC's Good Morning America outlined how to make your media pitches more effective.
Unite for Good is a new vision for the U.S. credit union system but will it be enough to elevate the under-the-radar credit union brand?
CUNA GAC: What Do You Think of Innovation in the Credit Union Industry?
I'd give innovation in the CU industry a 5 out of 10. There are pockets to be sure, but for the most part, CUs have outsourced their brains.
It was a fantastic conference and I am so glad that I attended. Thank you CUNA for putting on a great show!


Music is a part of everyone's life regardless of age. Even though music can be soothing and beneficial, a new study examined the "ugly" side of music. According to the researchers, music that mentions specific alcoholic brands could encourage teenagers to drink and abuse alcohol.
"Alcohol brand names are quite prevalent in popular music," Lisa Henriksen, senior research scientist at the Stanford Prevention Research Center said in the press release. "For example, hip-hop/rap lyrics favor luxury brands, such as Cristal and Hennessy, and brand references in rap music have increased four-fold over time, from eight percent in 1979 to 44 percent in 1997. It would be foolish to think that the alcohol industry is unaware of and uninvolved with alcohol-brand mentions in music. The strategy of associating products with hip culture and celebrities who are attractive to youth comes straight from a playbook written by the tobacco industry."
In this study, the team headed by, James D. Sargent, a professor of pediatrics at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, collected data on more than 3,400 young people between the ages of 15 and 23. The researchers interviewed the participants from 2010 to 2011 using U.S. landline and mobile numbers. The participants were separated into three levels, low, medium and high, based on how much they liked music that mentioned alcohol brands.
The researchers found that people in the high group were three times more likely than the people from the low group to consume one complete alcoholic drink within their lifetime. People from the high group were also two times more likely to participate in binge drinking.
"This is based on average exposure of 2.5 hours of music per day, with 3-4 brand mentions each hour," Brian Primack, an associate professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh, said according to Philly. "However, this is just an average. For some kids it will be more, and for others it will be less."
The study was published in the journal, Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.

For the last 18 years, Esperance Nyiramahoro, 34, had tried every job but without much luck in overcoming poverty. Life was hard; she was barely able to get enough to keep her family afloat. It is only five years ago when her life started to change - thanks to the government's social protection programmes under the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS).


I have added a new holding to my portfolio, Vodafone. The idea came from reading David Einhorn's quarterly letter. The stock trades at a valuation similar to other telecom companies and carries a nearly 6% dividend yield. The kicker is the company has an asset that is worth at least $10 a share by my calculation, in its 45% ownership stake in Verizon Wireless. That implies 50% upside to the shares if this value is recognized. There is minimal downside with the 6% dividend yield.
This asset has been sitting on Vodafones balance sheet for over a decade frustrating many value investors who came before me. However, there is reason to believe that the asset will start paying dividends. Verizon controls Verizon Wireless and has been using cash flows from the wireless division to pay back debt to the parent company. The parent company in turn used that cash to pay dividends. However, by midyear all that debt will be paid back. Verizon will need money from Verizon Wireless to pay its own dividends. That will mean that Verizon Wireless will need to start paying dividends and Vodafone will receive 45% of those dividends. It is also possible that Verizon will buy out Vodafone. I like this position because it has little downside and a lot of upside. It will require patience as it is impossible to know when Verizon will act.
Tsachy, do you see any reason for the recent weakness of vodafone (VOD) ?
Vodafone is actually up in Europe. The British pound is getting killed and Vodafone trades in pounds.
So do you think shorting the pound for a hedge against the long in vodafone is a good move ?
They have the VZ wireless stake which is in US Dollars. Most of their assets are across Europe and emerging markets. Their mix of earnings dont look that different than a large US multi national.
I think the fact that the stock is denominated in pounds is more of a short term volatility issue than a long term issue.
Hope all is well with your son by now.
Thanks. Hes doing much better.

Home Tech How To Connect To Free Google WI-FI in Nigeria
How To Connect To Free Google WI-FI in Nigeria
Admin ABK
In this Article, I will be discussing how to find and connect to Google free Wi-Fi Station and browse flawlessly.
Surprisingly, Nigeria is the first Country in Africa and the fifth country in the world to get Google Wi-Fi Station service. Google launched their Free Wi-Fi Service (Google Wi-Fi Station) recently in Nigeria and since it started Nigerians have been enjoying its benefits by downloading and using the internet at a high-speed rate for free.
For this Wi-Fi service to work, Google partners with numerous local technology Institute to ensure the provision of the needed software and hardware to actualize the "Free Wi-Fi for all". Some of these partners are Network providers, System Integrators, Large scale organizations, Fibre providers.
HOW TO LOCATE GOOGLE WI-FI STATION IN NIGERIA
HOW TO CONNECT TO THE GOOGLE WIFI
FAST MODE WI-FI
BASIC MODE WI-FI
Google Wi-Fi would be set up in places that attract large crowds daily like Markets, Airports, Sit-out Parks, Transport Parks (Bus & Railway), Public Schools / Universities, Large Malls etc.
In Nigeria, this Free Service is projected for 200 locations in 6 Cities (Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Kaduna, Ibadan, and Enugu) these Cities were chosen due to their popularity and Google might decide to increase the list of Cities in the Nearest future.
Once You find the Wi-Fi, tap connect and your device will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi without prompting for a password.
After connecting, you won't be able to browse with it until you Sign-In with a Valid Phone number.
For Android users, after connecting, open your notification panel and you will see a notification asking you to sign into the network.
Click on the notification and it will direct you to the sign-in portal where you will see the Partner's name and Google's Logo.
Click on continue and then put your mobile number (Make sure the sim card is Switched on because a code would be sent to the number to confirm that you are the owner of the Sim, Copy the code and type it in the space provided in the portal and that's all you are connected.
For iPhone Users, connect the wifi and you will be automatically redirected to the sign-in portal.
Follow the same procedure posted for Android users and you will be connected to the internet.
Laptop and Computer users can also connect too. once connected to the Wi-Fi a pop-up notification would come up asking you to open your browser and finish the connection.
Click on the notification and your default internet browser will open up and redirect you to the login page.
Note: When connected to A device, the device won't need phone number verification for three days (3) and after that, you will be asked to verify before using. A number can be used to register only 3 devices at a time (3 devices can simultaneously use 1 sim verification for 3 days).
The Wi-Fi comes in two types: Fast Mode and Basic Mode
Connecting to the Wi-Fi would automatically put the device in Fast Mode Wi-Fi and it allows users to surf and download at an amazing speed of 30Mb/Sec on all platforms (Android, iOS, Windows).
The only downside of this Fast Mode is that users are allowed to use its fast speed for 30 minutes which after that, you will be taken to the Basic Mode.
Unlike the time-cap placed on the Fast Mode, when you are connected to the Basic Mode the download and surfing speed of the Wi-Fi will reduce drastically but the good side of this is that you will be allowed to use the Wi-Fi for an unlimited time, meaning that you would continue to browse and download for as long as you want.
The Google Wi-Fi station was launched lagos since late 2018 and this service is till active in some station in Lagos State .
