Pentium and Celeron processors are dead – but the Intel N series may save budget laptops
At CES 2023, now taking place in Las Vegas, Intel took the stage to reveal the processors that will power the next generation of budget laptops, known as the Intel N-series processor.
This comes after Intel scrapped its Pentium and Celeron brands late last year, with the new chips coming to entry-level PCs, including laptops and Chromebooks.
The new series includes the Intel Core i3 chip, which is aimed at people who want a device that is slightly more powerful than the standard N-series, but still affordable – for example, students.
According to Intel, the new N-series offers up to 28% better performance and 64% better graphics performance than the previous generation – while the i3 processor provides an additional 42% performance boost and an additional 56% improvement in graphics performance.
Analysis: This could be good news for cheap laptops
Laptops with Intel N-series processors will apparently have up to 10 hours of battery life, which is impressive on paper, but Chromebooks using the competing ARM architecture have easily exceeded 10 hours of battery life for some time now.
PCs with the new Intel chips will benefit from the latest connectivity features, including Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as new high-performance "Gracemont" cores and support for LPDDR5, DDR5 and DDR4 memory.
Here are the following N-series processors that Intel has unveiled:
N-series processors
Processor name
Maximum turbo frequency
Intel Core i3-N305 8 8 3.8GHz 15W
Intel Core i3-N300 8 8 3.8GHz 7W
Intel N200 processor 4 4 3.7GHz 6W
In the current climate, it's good to see companies working on new products for the budget market (note, Nvidia).
A lot of people just can't afford expensive devices right now, but that doesn't mean they have to put up with poor performance, so we're eager to try laptops with new Intel processors to see if they live up to their promises. Intel's previous Pentium and Celeron processors were mostly associated with poor performance and a low price – which is probably why Intel decided to abandon these brands. However, the company will want to make sure that the new N-series processors do not suffer the same fate.
According to Intel, we should have plenty of devices to try, with over 50 Windows or Chrome OS products expected in 2023 from companies like Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Asus.

Hydrotalcites (HTlcs) or layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been used in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, electrochemical sensors, wastewater treatment, and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. In the current study, molecular dynamics simulation was employed to investigate carbon dioxide adsorption behavior on amorphous layered double oxides (LDOs) derived from LDHs at elevated temperatures. The thermal stability of LDHs was first examined by heating the sample up to T = 1700 K. Radial distribution functions confirmed the structural evolution upon heating and the obtained structures were in good agreement with experiments, where periclase was confirmed to be the stable phase in the recrystallized mixed oxides above T = 1200 K. Further, CO2 adsorption was studied as a function of amorphous HTlc-derived oxide composition, where static and dynamic atomistic measures have been employed to characterize the CO2 adsorption behavior. The simulation results showed that the CO2 dynamic residence time on LDH-derived LDOs was sensitive to the Mg/Al molar ratio and the average amount of residence time of CO2 on the surface of LDOs reached maximum when the Mg/Al molar ratio was equal to 3.0. Meanwhile, the activation energy for diffusion also showed local maximum when the Mg/Al molar ratio was 3.0, suggesting that this particular ratio of Mg/Al mixed oxides possessed the highest CO2 adsorption capacity. This is consistent with experimental results. Examination of the binding between CO2 and mixed oxides revealed that both magnesium and oxygen in amorphous LDOs contributed to CO2 adsorption. Further analysis suggested that the interaction between Mg-O and O(LDO)-C were the most important interactions for the physisorption of CO2 on amorphous surface and different CO2 adsorption behavior on different Mg/Al molar ratio surfaces was directly related to their amorphous local structure.

Viewers Turn to Xumo and Other Ad-Supported VOD Services
Despite the focus on successful subscription streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+, free ad-supported TV services have actually been growing at a faster clip. AVOD (ad-supported video on demand) or FAST (free ad-supported TV) is flourishing largely via large media companies. Fox's Tubi, ViacomCBS' Pluto TV and Xumo, now owned by Comcast, are all performing well. Xumo has skyrocketed 2.5 times, reaching 24 million U.S. monthly active users. Comcast acquired Xumo in February 2020 from Panasonic and Meredith Corp.
Variety reports that Tubi, which Fox purchased this year, now has 33 million monthly active users, up 65 percent year-over-year, and Pluto TV had 26.5 monthly active users by end of June, up 61 percent from the prior year. Other AVOD players include the Roku Channel, NBCU's Peacock and Amazon's IMDb TV.
Xumo chief executive Colin Petrie-Norris admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic was one factor behind the company's growth, but also pointed to "expanded content, new distribution partners, and a deeper integration of Xumo's on-demand catalog with parent Comcast Cable's Xfinity X1 and Flex." The latter "resulted in a nearly 40 percent increase in viewing sessions" on those platforms.
"For Comcast to decide this is a space worth investing in is real validation," said Petrie-Norris, who added the platform now has about 200 content partners. "If anything we have been busier than we've ever been." Comcast reportedly paid $100+ million for Xumo, which had almost 60 employees and is based in Irvine, California. Comcast Cable senior vice president of video and entertainment Rebecca Heap oversees Xumo, which operates as a unit of the division.
Variety notes that, while AVOD and subscription VOD services boom, "the loser has been traditional pay-TV," pointing out that "Comcast's residential TV subs totaled about 19.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020," a loss of 1.7 million over a 12-month period.
This year, "Xumo has expanded its distribution footprint to 75 percent of connected TV devices with the addition of Sony and Panasonic smart TVs … [and] added new marquee channels featuring content from beIN SPORTS XTRA and America's Test Kitchen." It has also "more than doubled its on-demand library of free movies to over 10,000 titles through pacts with Relativity Media and Broad Green Pictures and A24 coming on board soon."
Genres include "sports, news, kids and family entertainment, live events, comedy, lifestyle and movies." Xumo is available on "iOS, Android and Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and connected TVs.
Topics: A24, Android, AVOD, Broad Green Pictures, Colin Petrie-Norris, Comcast, COVID-19, Fire TV, Flex, FOX, IMDb TV, iOS, Meredith Corp., Movie, NBCUniversal, Panasonic, Peacock, Pluto TV, Rebecca Heap, Relativity Media, Roku, Roku Channel, Sony, Tubi, TV Show, ViacomCBS, Xfinity X1, Xumo

Q: How to get vBulletin last insert id I'm trying to get the last insert id from a plugin I'm in the process of creating for vBulletin in PHP. For some reason it doesn't seem to be working... Any ideas how I go about it?

*

*The query is inserting fine using the $db->query_write($sql_i);

*The documentation I have found states that I need to use $db->insert_id
Full Code:
$sql_i = "INSERT INTO classifieds_item (".$i_fieldnames.",`date_posted`) values (".$i_values.",NOW())";

$db->query_write($sql_i);

header("location: classifieds.php?class_act=add_img&id=".$db->insert_id);

This is using the standard vBulletin database class.
Any ideas?

A: insert_id() is a function, so
header("location: classifieds.php?class_act=add_img&id=".$db->insert_id());

should work. The crucial point is the difference between $db->insert_id and $db->insert_id().

A: Have you tried mysql_insert_id(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php
It will return the last id for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous INSERT.
Worth noting that the PHP documentation also suggests using alternatives as this method is now discouraged.

Scientists find genes that set into motion age-related macular degeneration
by Case Western Reserve University
Between 2010 and 2015, the number of people in the United States with age-related macular degeneration is expected to more than double. Credit: National Eye Institute
In one of the latest examples of precision medicine, teams of geneticists from nine countries, involving more than 100 scientists, analyzed the genes of more than 33,000 individuals in the hope of finding genetic variations responsible for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 or older. Their research, involving complex computational analysis of more than 12 million genetic variations across the human genome, identified 52 variations associated with the disease. By identifying these genetic variations, spread across 34 gene regions, scientists are a step closer to developing diagnostics that identify which patients are at high risk for acquiring the disease and formulating therapeutics either to prevent or treat the disease caused by these genetic variations.
Leading the coordination of the massive, multi-national research effort conducted by the International AMD Genomics Consortium was Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine's Jonathan L. Haines, PhD, whose team also helped guide the complex computational analysis of the data from those study participants with advanced AMD and those without AMD. Their findings will appear in the Dec. 15, 2015 edition of Nature Genetics.
"The enormity and complexity of studying the genetics behind AMD required a large-scale computational analysis study of the disease that could only be performed by bringing together the world's leading researchers," said Haines. Haines is the chair of Epidemiology and Biostatics and the Mary W. Sheldon, MD, Professor of Genomic Sciences, as well as the director of the Institute for Computational Biology—a joint venture between Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals Case Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic.
As part of their research, consortium investigators chose to study both common and rare genetic variations. Genetic variations are the DNA sequence differences between individuals. Genetic variations affect physical traits such as eye color or susceptibility to specific diseases. Because of the millions of genetic variations present in the genome, it took genetic computational analysis from multiple centers to pinpoint the variations specific to AMD.
Using sophisticated computer programs, scientists were able to sort and synthesize more than 12 million genetic variations culled from the study's more than 33,000 individual participants. Moreover, they applied another dynamic big data science technique—computational pathway analysis—whereby statistically significant variations are grouped together based on the genes they are associated with and the biological pathways those genes affect. Computational pathway analysis reveals how these gene variation groupings may affect biological events leading to AMD.

The combined computational analysis of the entire consortium identified, for the first time, a genetic variant specific to one subtype of AMD. The group identified one genetic variant located near the MMP9 gene region that is implicated only in the particularly damaging wet form of AMD.
AMD comes in dry and wet forms. Both damage vision by destroying cells in the macula, the small center of the retina in the back of the eye. It's the macula's job to focus images coming through the eye, which are then converted to electrical signals and sent through the optic nerve to the brain. Localized inflammation in the retina triggers the development of drusen, which are fatty, lipid-rich deposits that accumulate in the eye as a natural part of the aging process. Enough inflammation and drusen accumulation will destroy photoreceptors in the back of the eye that receive the electrical signals from the retina, causing vision loss.
Dry AMD causes loss of cells in the macula and progresses more slowly. The wet form progresses rapidly and causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels within the macula. These blood vessels impair vision by leaking fluid into the eye and are the result of uncontrolled vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) spurring development of new blood vessels. The consortium's big-data solution paid off when they found genetic variations in the region near the MMP9 gene that exclusively affect the wet form of AMD. What MMP9 does is trigger VEGF to produce blood vessel growth in the eye. The finding suggests an explanation for why anti-VEGF therapy is not as effective in many AMD patients whose genetic make-up with the MMP9 gene variation makes them more susceptible to the disease's progression. MMP9-induced VEGF production might overwhelm the anti-VEGF therapy's effect.
"Almost every study up until now has only looked at common variations that are pervasive in the population," said a lead author Jessica N. Cooke Bailey, PhD, a post-doctoral fellow in the School of Medicine's Department of Epidemiology and Biostatics. "Our robust big data techniques allowed us to look for the rare variations that occur, for example, in one in 1,000 individuals. In the genetics world, those really rare genetic variations are important because those significantly increase the risk of a disease such as AMD in individuals who have them."
Additionally, the consortium's study located 10 variations pointing to genes involved in maintaining the extracellular matrix within the eye. The matrix is made up of nonliving material among cells that provides structural support in the eye. Seven of these 10 variations affecting the extracellular matrix point to a wet AMD subtype with no early-stage symptoms and with rapid progression.
"The possible connection between AMD and these extracellular matrix genes may allow for predictive genetic tests and more effective therapies for people with this type of AMD," Cooke Bailey said.
As for future research, next steps will be functional mechanistic studies to determine why and how key gene variations activate to cause AMD.
"More than 10 million Americans are affected by AMD," Cooke Bailey says. "More than 2 million individuals over the age of 50 have the advanced disease. AMD also adds billions of dollars to health care costs. With more people entering their senior years, the AMD-affected population will only continue to grow, which makes this research particularly crucial."

Charlotte's not saying much. It's our fortnightly review meeting and our glamorous practice manager is not her usual bubbly self. Afterwards, I ask if she's OK and offer to buy her lunch but she shakes her head. "Tooffache," she mutters "appoingmeng this affernoon." Pregnant pause. "And in English?" I joke, but her only reply is a filthy look and a poorly-aimed desk jotter as I run away.
To get properly out of range I head out of town to take photos of a barn we're converting near Eymet. I've never had the chance to meet my client who lives in the Far East, but we've managed to get along pretty well by phone, Skype, email, text and HB pencil. The barn is typical of the area with a low roof over some impressive timbering and stone walls, but computer-generated plans don't give you any idea of the scale of the space. Hence the pencil.
I've laid out the conversion with the kitchen and dining areas either side of the old cattle crêches or mangers (also from the French mangeoir, eating place). These are being retained as a feature. The en-suite bedrooms are under the eaves, with ceilings lower and cosier than the impressive central pièce à vivre.
I need the photos for the Permis de Construire application so the Planners dealing with the project don't have to leave their desks, and take views from all directions close up, and also from further away to set the building in the landscape. I wonder if it's safe to go back to the office yet?
Barn conversions aren't as common as they were when I first started work out here eight years ago, most of our work is now refurbishments and individual new houses, so it's refreshing to work on one again. It used to be a foregone conclusion that conversion to a house would be granted, but now some Communes have policies restricting change to buildings specifically listed as suitable. In any event, we're OK on this one as a section of it is already a dwelling, so it's an extension rather than a change of use.
The Permis process itself has also become more bureaucratic to such an extent that I doubt if a lay person could actually make an application without professional help. Long gone are the days when some sketches on graph paper and a bottle of whiskey for the mayor were the only necessary formalities. I spend the entire morning filling in, formatting, collating, binding, signing and stamping the different forms, checklists, certificates, notices, drawings and impact statements that are now de rigueur. Charlotte's tooth is better, but she still doesn't want lunch.
Off to the Dordogne countryside near Montignac to quote for a refurbishment of a stone house, Roy and Eileen's holiday home for the last ten years, which they want to make their permanent home. I only get lost once, and Roy talks me in on the mobile over the last few kilometres.
They freely admit to knowing nothing about building in France, so we spend an hour discussing the big picture. I explain I can either just cover the Planning stage for them if they have builders they know and trust, or if not I can take the project through to completion. Unlike the UK, builders here usually ask for a deposit up front, sometimes 30%, so you have to be sure they're reputable. Builders also need to carry an assurance décennale to cover the client against faults for ten years.
I bang on about the pitfalls till I notice Roy starting to nod off, so we get down to the detail and talk through their needs. It seems a modest kitchen extension with a bathroom over is what they're hoping for, and their budget seems reasonable. They'd like a pigeonnier tower roof, the evocative steep tiled pyramid so typical of the area, and we agree to see how much it costs, and whether its the best way to use the money they want to spend.
As I leave I notice a little circular borie nearby. These dry-stone shelters have no roof timbers, but a vaulted stone ceiling under the conical tiled roof. Too small for houses, they were originally built for shepherds and hunters, and La Borie is a frequent house name out in the countryside. Locals just call them cabanes, cabins, but une borie just sounds better and more exotic to my ears.
Out in the car again. When am I ever going to get any work done? This time I'm down near Marciac in the Gers, famous for its annual international jazz festival. The job is a real challenge: to rebuild a ruined farmhouse on a very tight budget. The only remaining part is the facade, and I need to talk to the Mayor to get his backing for its rebuilding. While his graph-paper-and-whiskey power of approval may no longer exist, the local Maire can certainly still stop any project he doesn't like with just a well-placed phone call.
I arrive at the Mairie on time, and my client's already there, but the secrétaire apologises profusely and says the mayor has been called away at the last moment and won't be able to see us today. Frustrating? I should say so, but we make another appointment. This is France, personal contact is how it works and if it takes longer, so be it.
Jour Férié. Bank holiday. One of only four this month, so the phones are quiet but the street is not. There's a carnival parade passing the office, surprisingly big for Villeréal, a commune of only a thousand people, with papier mâché giants and the inevitable dad dressed up as the French cockerel. Charlotte and I watch it pass from the balcony and after we get back inside she blurts out that Antoine has dumped her.
Now I understand. Antoine is the ageing cad who I found in the boot of her car a couple of months back. A good-for-nothing, she's better off without him and I say so. I turn back to look at her just in time for the desk jotter to hit me between the eyes.

DealBook | Prada Is Cleared for Hong Kong I.P.O.
I.P.O./Offerings
Prada Is Cleared for Hong Kong I.P.O.
By Chris V. Nicholson
May 20, 2011 5:37 am May 20, 2011 5:37 am
8:19 p.m. | Updated
Prada, the Italian luxury goods maker, has received approval to go public in Hong Kong as the company seeks to sell a one-fifth stake in itself for about 1.8 billion euros ($2.5 billion), a person with direct knowledge of the matter said Friday.
The approval for the offering, which would be the first for a European luxury group in Hong Kong, came after meetings late Thursday between the company and the exchange, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
Prada, which makes handbags, shoes and clothing, is tapping the wealth of Asian investors, whose appetite for share issues is proving to be voracious.
Globally, Hong Kong was the most active exchange last year for the second year in a row, with companies raising $57.4 billion.
Prada said in March that revenue grew by almost a third to 2 billion euros ($2.8 billion) last year, while net profit hit 251 million euros ($358.2 million), two and a half times what it earned the year before. Sales in Asia expanded 63 percent last year, it said.
The joint global coordinators for the issue, first announced in January, are Banca IMI-Intesa Sanpaolo, Unicredit, Goldman Sachs and a unit of Credit Agricole, CLSA. Its legal advisers are Bonelli Erede Pappalardo, Slaughter & May and Davis Polk.
The company is planning to list around June 24, after a road show for potential investors set to begin in Singapore on June 6, the person said.

Josef Newgarden Wins at Gateway
Fastest33 Staff / August 21, 2021
Saturday in St. Louis was all about surviving. With a one-day show for the NTT IndyCar Series, the name of the game as the race started was attrition. Nine cars failed to make it to the finish, and a familiar name found himself on the top step of the podium by night's end. Josef Newgarden earned his second victory of the season, and the third win in the last four races for Team Penske.
Finishing second was Pato O'Ward, who had a mega weekend as he takes over the lead in the championship. It is the fifth podium of the season for the Arrow McLaren SP driver, as he aims to capture a championship in just his second season. Will Power joined them on the podium, just hours after earning his 63rd career pole.
Bommarito Automotive Group 500 Box Score
Rookie Scott McLaughlin gave Roger Penske three cars in the top four, and Sebastien Bourdais rounded out the top five on Saturday night, giving Chevrolet a clean sweep at the top. A pair of veteran Honda drivers finished 6th and 7th in Takuma Sato and Ryan Hunter-Reay. Simon Pagenaud rebounded nicely from some friendly fire from Newgarden early in the race and finished 8th while Marcus Ericsson and Jack Harvey quietly rounded out the top ten.
The biggest moment in this wild race came on Lap 65 when Rinus VeeKay took out the top pair of Ganassi drivers in Scott Dixon and current points leader Alex Palou. Heading into Indianapolis last weekend, Palou held a 42-point lead in the championship. After tonight, the Ganassi driver is ten points behind O'Ward. The move also took Dixon out of the race, who had been the only driver this season to complete every lap of competition.
The championship leader @AlexPalou is out after this incident involving teammate @scottdixon9 and @rinusveekay.

The race got off to a rough start with James Hinchcliffe having mechanical issues and starting the race three laps down. Just three laps into the race, Ed Jones and Graham Rahal tangled, with both drivers going home early. The two each blamed the other for the incident, with Graham taking a deep jab at the Dale Coyne Racing driver. "He ran out of talent," said Rahal. "I don't know what else to say."
With several contenders seemingly out of contention, it appeared as though it might be a night to remember for Michael Andretti's team. Colton Herta led 101 laps on the night, but after a late-race pit stop, the driver who was leading the race was suddenly out of it.
"We were so freaking fast."

As if that were not enough, more trouble awaited Herta's teammate Alexander Rossi. After his pit stop on Lap 201, Rossi slid up the track and into the outside wall, ending the pursuit of his first podium this season. It has been a dreadful year for the Andretti bunch, but especially the driver of the No. 27 machine. "Was looking like a pretty straight forward P3 until I threw it away," Rossi stated. "Nothing we can do except start over tomorrow and get back to work."
The series will have a couple of weeks off before they make the west coast swing for the final three races of the season. The next race on the schedule is the Grand Prix of Portland on September 12. NBC will provide coverage for the event, which begins at 3 PM ET on Sunday.

News STEP Malta Seminar: Trust Litigation & Disclosure
STEP Malta Seminar: Trust Litigation & Disclosure
Analise Sciriha | Published on 28 Jan 2014
"Trust Litigation and Disclosure mechanisms in Trust Deeds" was the subject of a CPD event organised by STEP Malta, the Malta branch of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
Held on the 21st of January, 2014, at Le Meridien Phoenicia Hotel in Valletta, the event was opened by STEP secretary, Ms. Tracy Lange, who introduced the speaker. Mr Andrew A. Martin visited Malta from Bermuda on STEP Malta's invitation to speak at this seminar. Mr Martin is a director MJM Ltd Barristers & Attorneys, a leading Bermuda law firm. His areas of practice include substantial trust litigation as well as international corporate dispute resolution, commercial litigation and arbitration, insolvency, corporate reconstruction and complex employment matters. Mr. Martin has been counsel to parties in a number of major international trust disputes before the Bermuda courts in the last several years.
In the first session, Mr Martin treated an aspect of trust litigation which has been developing practical importance for parties who find themselves before the court for the purpose of getting directions or authorisation from the court. The issue concerned the extent to which it is possible to protect the identity and the details of the trust and the parties concerned, and the details of the trust from the publicity normally required when applications are made to court in public. The trend in several offshore jurisdictions has been to balance the requirement for public justice with the legitimate interest of parties to keep their affairs private, except to the extent that there is a genuine public interest in the disclosure of relevant facts or matters necessary to demonstrate the application of legal principle, without damaging the confidentiality of the specific facts relating the case before the court. The principles applied in other offshore jurisdictions may be of relevance and interest to practitioners in Malta because of the close similarity in the principles of public justice and justifiable exceptions contained in Malta's own constitution.
In his second session, Andrew Martin reviewed a judgement recently passed by a Bermuda court which considered the extent to which it is possible for draftsmen of trusts to include mechanisms to restrict the availability of trust information to beneficiaries and others. The court decided that it was in principle possible to do so provided that the clause did not oust the supervisory jurisdiction of the court and enabled the beneficiaries to hold the trustees to account. The case was decided on its own facts. However, a number of general points of interest arose for consideration as to how the trustees might react in a situation of conflict between the parties, what the trustees duties might be and some of the practical realities of managing difficult situations when relationships between beneficiaries broke down.
The event came to a close with an address by STEP Malta's Chairman Dr. Jean Philippe Chetcuti inviting members and their colleagues to participate in two new technical subcommittees working on trust-specific anti-money laundering guidelines and another reacting to the European initiative on the registration of beneficial owners of companies and trusts. Practitioners local or foreign, practising in Malta in the areas of estate and succession planning are encouraged to participate actively on these committees as well as join as members of STEP's Malta branch.

continuing resolution daca DACA deal DACA fix deferred action for childhood arrivals nancy pelosi paul ryan pt Continuing Revolution short term budget resolution U.S. Senate video youtube
Trump Wants 'Dreamer' Government Shutdown? Nancy Pelosi's Got Something To Say. And Say And Say And
Everyone wants to fix DACA, you say? So let's fix DACA, dammit.
Nancy Pelosi is coming up on her sixth hour of a long long speech on the floor of the House of Representatives in an effort to make it clear Democrats have had it with putting off a fix of the Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Guess she wanted to show certain people in the White House that, no, Democrats are not lazy when it comes to protecting Dreamers and their families from the New Cruelty. It's not a filibuster, because the House doesn't have that, and for that matter, she's not holding up any legislation. Instead, she wants some legislation. Legislation that big majorities of Americans want, and that Donald Trump says he wants, at least when he's not trying to pretend Dreamers aren't those depending on DACA to keep them safe from deportation.
The Senate is preparing to send over another short-term budget bill. But it doesn't include anything to fix DACA, and that's not acceptable. So Nancy Pelosi has been standing -- in heels -- since 10:00 Eastern, reading profiles of and statements from young Americans who risk being sent away to countries they were born in but have no memory of, because they grew up in the USA, singing the National Anthem, going to school, and in many cases serving in the military. Like the Americans they are. Like the Americans they deserve to be recognized as. On their own merit, not at the cost of pulling up the ladder behind them like Donald Trump wants.
And unlike the Senate, the House has no firm commitment to an open, fair debate on an immigration bill. Paul Ryan has said he would be open to such a debate, but only in the vaguest terms. Pelosi ain't having it:
"Why should we in the House be treated in such a humiliating way when the Republican Senate leader has given that opportunity in a bipartisan way to his membership? What's wrong? There's something wrong with this picture," Pelosi said.
The Senate says it's reached a deal for a short-term budget extension. But Nancy Pelosi has something to say about that, and that's "Not without the Dreamers." Now that's something to stand up and applaud.
Update: OK, sorry about the autoplay ad. Let's see if this stream from Pelosi's twitter works:
We're demanding @SpeakerRyan commit to bring up bipartisan legislation to #ProtectDREAMers. https://t.co/BGnQEsMJaY
— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) February 7, 2018
Update (Yes another): Adding this bit of wonderfulness: At 3:40 PM Eastern, Pelosi said, "I have no intention of yielding back, Mr. Speaker." Brava.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) began speaking at 10:04am ET.
At 3:40 pm ET she says: "I have no intention of yielding back, Mr. Speaker."
Continue watching LIVE on C-SPAN https://t.co/uNLfEP8AKE pic.twitter.com/rhfKj11OLQ
— CSPAN (@cspan) February 7, 2018
Yeah, one more update, why not:
At 4:07pm ET, Rep. Nancy Pelosi says, "I'll do another, hour. OK?"
She then tells Democratic colleagues sitting nearby they're free to go see Former VP Joe Biden speak at Democratic Issues Conference.
Colleagues respond: "We want to see you."https://t.co/uNLfEP8AKE pic.twitter.com/QWzQ0OPRBx

Some people say that dreams are foolish. Some people say that you can search your whole life long and never find what it is you are looking for. But long ago when dreams were more real than they are today; there was a young boy who lived by the sea. He was called Wood Duck. His people had always lived beside the ocean. Its salty water flavoured their days. Its currents flowed through their nights. The power of the sea ran very strongly in Wood Duck. In his dreams, fish swam and sea birds flew.
Mi'kmaq translations by Helen Sylliboy.


At age 99, Billy Graham has finally gone to meet his friend, Jesus, whom he preached about for many decades.
So I'm not going to talk about that.
Nope. Instead, I'm going to look at Billy Graham the Tech Geek.
Billy Graham was very advanced in his thinking.
He used cutting-edge technology to share his life-changing message around the world.
Even in 1989, Billy Graham used satellite technology to deliver his message into numerous venues in the UK.
We even had a big screen right in a civic hall right in the centre of Wigan!
Cutting edge technology – especially for the 1980s.
In the early 1990s, Billy Graham planned another satellite broadcasting event.
So our church bought a huge satellite dish and kit.
I remember it well. The dish was about 2 metres in diameter.
Somehow I managed to get the dish on the roof and aligned, and ran the drop-cable into the large black receiver.
But the loud buzzing noise told us something was wrong.
They'd sent us the German version of the receiver.
Without getting too technical, in ye olde analogue days the sound in the UK TV broadcasting system was a bit further away from the vision than in the German system.
So our German box was putting the sound in the wrong place.
It was too late to have another one delivered.
The solution involved connecting up a trusty old video-cassette-recorder and using its modulator to create a useable signal.
Hey – we couldn't let Billy Graham down by having the technology fail on our side!
Over the next few nights, lots of people turned in Wigan up to hear Billy Graham speak all the way from America… via the miracle of satellite.
This was technology at its best.
Speaking at a TED Conference in 1998, approaching age 80, Billy Graham marvelled at technology's power to improve lives and change the world.
I watched it on the internet whilst researching for this article – and it suddenly occurred to me that, even after death, Billy Graham was still using bang-up-to-date technology to talk to us.
Something else which struck me was that the audience had not come to hear a preacher. But they gave Billy Graham a long applause after his talk.
Because he understood the importance of technology.
And he spoke their language.
So what can we learn from this Tech Geek called Billy Graham?
How can you use technology to do it?
Let's imagine for a moment that Billy Graham is still alive, has stepped into a Tardis, and has suddenly reappeared back in 2018 – but as a 30-year-old.
What will this energetic, enthusiastic, 30-year-old guy who loves to preach, do?
He'll post pictures and infographics on Instagram.
Maybe he'll even use SnapChat if he can get to grips with it.
"The problem is not technology," said Billy Graham.
The problem is not technology. The problem is the person or persons using it.
Let's not be the problem.
Let's use technology to bring the solution.
And make the world a much better place.
Just like Billy Graham did.
Heating on Continuously or Timed?

There were 10 participants at this two-day clinic, ranging from novice to experienced, with young horses, green horses, and horses schooling up to third level dressage. Each participant stayed the entire day, each day, and helped create a supportive atmosphere for the other participants as well as learning from each other and then focusing on their own work. Each day began with a morning discussion. Participants then broke into small groups that were staggered in and out of each other, using the various arenas. In this way, plenty of time was given to horses who needed longer to settle, soften and offer their attention before working. Horses that were already well-schooled received more private time but less time overall so as not to drill what they already knew. A variety of modalities were used to best enable each horse-human combination to start from where they were that day in order to arrive at the next step. The main idea was to create an environment where the person could learn what they actually needed in order to do better with their horses - not merely reenact information that had been dictated to them.

Mayor Anthony Williams on Red Cross Bond Approval
Press release Letter to City Council
GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS ONE JUDICIARY SQUARE
441 FOURTH STREET, N.W.,SUITE 1100
WASHINGTON, D.C. D.C.
Monday, October 25, 1999 CONTACT: LINDA GRANT
MAYORAL STATEMENT
MAYOR WILLIAMS DISAPPOINTED AT COUNCIL INACTION ON RED CROSS BOND APPROVAL AND URGES THEM TO RECONSIDER
Mayor Concerned about Message this Delay Sends to Business
Mayor Anthony A. Williams issued the following statement today on the District Council's inaction on approving the National Red Cross Revenue Bond Project Resolution of 1999.
"I am very disappointed that the District Council postponed action on a resolution to approve a revenue bond project for the National Red Cross. At stake are more than 1200 jobs over tune, the ability to attract more businesses to the city and chance to stop the attrition of associations based here and most importantly, our credibility as a city "Open for Business." I urge the Council to pass this resolution at their next meeting.
"This is the Council's second postponement of the project which is located on federal, not District, property. The National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission on Fine Arts both have approved the project using the same information provided to the Council.
"The Red Cross has applied for tax-free Industrial Revenue Bonds to be issued by the District. I approved the application for the bonds and, as required by law, forwarded the request to the Council for action, which chose not to act. I am concerned that the failure of the Council to vote for the resolution puts our industrial Revenue Bond program in jeopardy by discrediting this financing option Associations interested in the District for their headquarters instead may choose from among our suburban competitors.
"I applaud those members of the Council, particularly Chairman Cropp and Councilmember Jarvis for their leadership and support of the Red Cross resolution. And I urge other members of the Council to join with them in approving the Red Cross revenue bond resolution." During this year of numerous natural and man-made disasters, the American Red Cross has fought the effects of flood, drought and war worldwide, preserving a tradition of humanitarian assistance. I invite the Council to consider this: do we want to lose forever an institution with such stature?
Ms. Linda W. Cropp
One Judiciary Square, Suite 700
441 4th Street, N.W.
Re: PR 13-232, the "American National Red Cross Revenue Bond Project Approval Resolution of 1999"
Dear Ms. Cropp:
Last week, the Council of the District of Columbia determined, for the second time this month, it would postpone consideration of PR 13-232, the "American National Red Cross Revenue Bond Project Approval Resolution of 1999."
I am writing to convey my deep sense of regret that some members of the Council concluded the situation they believed they were facing was not yet in their collective view, "ready" for a vote -- months after I forwarded the request to you for approval.
I applaud those members of the Council, particularly you, Councilmember Jarvis, and several others, for leadership and support of the Red Cross resolution. While I understand the difficulty this resolution may cause for the other members of the Council. I urge them to join you in approving the Red Cross' revenue bond application.
Throughout my campaign and in the time since my election and taking office. I have been working to get out a new message about the District of Columbia — that we are "Open for Business." This means operating in ways that are predictable and understandable, knowing who is responsible for what, and holding Agencies and their officials accountable for their actions and the pace of their actions.
In the context of the proposed national headquarters for the American Red Cross ( (ARC) there are several distinctions from the "normal" building process. First, as it would be built on Federal land, approvals are made by duly authorized Federal agencies. Federal land is "unzoned," but ARC's development program was reviewed and approved by the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) as appropriate in lieu of normal zoning controls. Moreover, the overall design of the project was reviewed and approved by the Commission on Fine Arts (CFA). Each of those agencies was provided the data needed for them to evaluate the site and the plan, and to reach conclusions. Each approved ARC's plans under their respective delineated authorities and criteria, and processes that are predictable as to steps and timeframes. The General Services Administration (GSA) is positioned to review detailed construction plans to assure compliance with building and construction standards.
Second, the American Red Cross also elected to seek tax-free Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) that would be issued by the District of Columbia under authority we have been granted by the Congress under the Home Rule Act. Our laws provide that the Executive is to review those applications and pass those we approve on to you for approval, as I did in ARC's case much earlier this year. In the history of the IRB program. there has been over 100 packages presented to the Council for approval, involving over 60 different applicants. The bonds total over $5 billion dollars, providing critical, cost-effective capital for our city, its residents and institutions.
By its actions today and in the time leading up to it, the Council now seems to be indicating that it is prepared to operate as a kind of "appeals" board in instances where here project has been approved elsewhere but not to the liking of all involved or affected. I regret that this involvement may send a most unfortunate message to potential users of the IRB program — that they are "at risk" of being examined not only for compliance with the statutory requirements relating to the program, but also an open set of exogenous issues of a purely subjective nature that will be taken up — and decided at some later, but unspecified, time — when one or more members determine to do so.
On the immediate front, I cannot predict what the American Red Cross will do. They may be able to make some changes that would, soften the impact of their project without triggering a complete re-review of earlier submissions and approvals by NCPC and CFA. They may not.
They might also opt, despite significant investment in the site and the project, to reopen the question of whether to return their national headquarters to the District. of Columbia remain in Virginia, or locate elsewhere If ARC should fail to return to the District, we loose a sizeable employer many of whose employees were previously and would again become District residents (and taxpayers).
I will work with you and your colleagues, officials of the American Red Cross, relevant Federal agencies, and all others to do what I can to make sure ARC does return to the District at the proposed location.
As I indicated earlier, I want the District to be "Open for Business." Instead, right now, I feel ARC may have concluded that the District has "given them the business.''
Apart from its impact on the ARC, I am also concerned about the possible impact of your actions on the overall Industrial Revenue Bond program. This is an authority the District enjoys that was specifically granted by the Congress. We have tried to use it wisely and appropriately. It is a financing mechanism, for stated public purposes. It is not intended to provide a forum for design review whatsoever. Those who provided us This authority may look disfavorably on any action that has the effect of changing its purpose and scope. Loss of that program authority would be devastating to our overall well being and hobble our economic engine.


At Kanisa Fellowship, we believe the next generations are the one's who will carry the banner of both community, and global influence for the sake of the gospel.
With this in mind, we are passionate about raising children dedicated to the mission of the cross. Baby dedications are opportunities for you as a parent, to publically commit your child in the upbringing of Christian values and teaching. Not only is it an opportunity for the parent, it's also an opportunity for the church to join and commit with you to raising your child in the ways of the Lord.
Parenting isn't easy, and you need the help of the body of Christ in times when it's difficult. When you need encouragement, when you need insight, when you need help, the church wants to walk alongside of you to help you raise your children.
This is what baby dedication is all about.

Soda Stream, Bubbly Sip Soft Drink Partnership
Mattel Plans Monster High Game
Mattel has partnered with game developer Little Orbit for a video game based on its Monster High doll line.The characters of Monster High will skate through the crypts of their high school in the new racing game, "Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze
Mattel has partnered with game developer Little Orbit for a video game based on its Monster High doll line.
The characters of Monster High will skate through the crypts of their high school in the new racing game, "Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze."
The game will be available for the Nintendo Wii and DS systems for the holiday season.
"The Monster High universe that Mattel developed has a rich palette to create an amazing video game experience," says Matt Scott, president, Little Orbit. "We are very excited to be bringing the freaky-fabulous and beloved characters of Monster High to fans in a fun-filled racing game."


"Matt was the spark that ignited this organization," says Brian Abrams, president of the Presidential Scholars Foundation. Says John Knox, chairman of the Alumni Board, "Matt Anestis restarted our group over a decade ago and has laid the groundwork for everything that has followed. His steady leadership informs, either directly or by example, every decision we make."
Matt holds an undergraduate degree in economics, an MBA, and a JD—all from Harvard and all earned with honors. After college, he completed internships at Microsoft and in the Clinton White House. In 2006, the World Economic Forum honored him as a Young Global Leader.
Matt is now chief of staff to the president and COO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. He also leads BlackRock's Platform Innovation group, which prepares the company for possible financial crises worldwide. Prior to joining BlackRock in 2009, he was a partner and managing director with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Hong Kong.
In the early 2000s, he and college friend Avery Gardiner ('93, ME) breathed life into the Alumni Association, an idea whose time had come. Matt thinks that Scholars underplay the fact that theirs is the highest award that the U. S. government gives to high school seniors. "That's a really big deal!" he says, one not to be forgotten quickly.
Matt feels that the Alumni Association promotes collaboration among scholars over a lifetime, not just during National Recognition Program. National Recognition Program (NRP) is the first time that many Scholars interact with a community of young people from all over the country who have worked hard to excel in many different ways. "That experience is eye-opening and sometimes leads to lifelong friendships", Matt says. Because of Matt and Avery, the Alumni Association works to carry those connections forward and create new ones with Scholars from different classes.
Matt praises the progress that the Alumni Association has made since his initial organizational efforts. "I'm happy to see how this has become a continuously living organization that has outpaced what we did at the start", he says.

Kerala: Indian men jailed for rape and murder of Latvian tourist
Image source, Getty Images
The Latvian woman went missing from her resort in Kerala state in 2018
By Ashraf Padanna
Reporter, Trivandrum, Kerala
A court in India has sentenced two men to life imprisonment for the rape and murder of a Latvian tourist in 2018.
The 33-year-old woman, who was travelling with her sister, went missing from a resort in the southern state of Kerala on 14 March 2018.
Her body was recovered 38 days later from an isolated mangrove in the city of Kovalam.
Two men, one a tourist guide, were arrested for raping and killing her.
A sessions court in the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram (formerly Trivandrum), found them guilty on Tuesday.
The court, which began the trial six months ago, observed that Umesh, 32, and Udayakumar, 28, lured the Latvian tourist with marijuana and "drugged her heavily" before raping her.
Both of them were also convicted for the sale and abuse of banned substances under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
The court said that the men would remain in jail "until the end of their biological life".
Even though the police said the accused had admitted to their crime, the men denied it and pleaded not guilty in court.
Watching the court proceedings online from Dublin was the victim's sister who had launched an online search campaign after the police failed to locate her.
The sisters had travelled together to Kerala - a popular tourist destination - to seek treatment at a traditional Ayurveda healing centre.
On 21 April, two fishermen found the woman's decomposed body with her head severed at a nearby forest.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gangrape and murder of a young woman on a Delhi bus.
The brutal crime led to massive outrage in the country and forced the government to introduce tougher anti-rape laws, including the death penalty in rare cases.
But critics say that despite all the media coverage and new laws, there has been no let up in the number of sexual crimes against women.

Our House © 2018 IFC Midnight. The Refinery also stayed far away from horror-movie tropes, with a skyline face cropping up inside a ghostly apparition. Titling Gothic FB Skyline is just as narrow; Empire adds stylish contrast to the skyline model.
La nuit a dévoré le monde (The Night Eats the World) © 2018 Haut et Court Distribution. The upside-down image of the person falling upward towards the Paris cityscape, veiled in bluish mist, is quite spectacular—but nothing lets on that this French domestic poster is promoting a zombie movie.
The international one-sheet remedies this omission by adding a terrifying bouquet of zombie arms, contorted fingers grasping at the falling figure, and switching to a harsh red-and-black color scheme. The type also packs more of a punch: a bold, economic sans serif similar to Parka.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado © 2018 Columbia Pictures. LA amalgamated visuals from the movie to create a Día de los Muertos-like skull. Ironmonger's faceted features serve the design well.
Agency FB's square shapes make it a solid alternative.
McQueen © 2018 Bleecker Street Media. By foregrounding the Vanitas Skull Scarf, a design by Gary James McQueen (the late fashion designer's nephew), The Posterhouse created the second poster this month featuring a decorated skull on a black background.
Christian Audigier the Vif © 2017 Gravitas Ventures. The colorful intensity of the tattoos and the pose speak volumes in this gripping depiction of the dying fashion designer.
Skyscraper © 2018 Universal Pictures. Main star Dwayne Johnson said he made a movie that pays homage to films that inspired him (and his generation) with grit, guts, and heart— Die Hard, The Towering Inferno, and The Fugitive. A couple of posters reference these sources of inspiration.
Die Hard © 1988 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. The previous one-sheet is modeled after this iconic Die Hard poster. Skyscraper uses Agency FB; Die Hard sports Gill Sans. New Atten and Upgrade would have been excellent alternatives.
This second Skyscraper poster pays tribute to the 1974 disaster flick The Towering Inferno.
The Towering Inferno © 1974 Twentieth Century Fox. Brandon Schaefer revealed that the classic art for this one-sheet was painted by John Berkey.
