Is Shaun White's Legacy Tarnished With Sexual Misconduct Claims?
"I don't think so," said Shaun White when asked if his past sexual misconduct case will tarnish his legacy. In truth, Shaun White was never found guilty in a court of law, so technically, he shouldn't feel that way, but reality is a little different. The now 3-time gold medal winner has seen his most recent victory stir up his sexual misconduct case from 2016 and he's had to backpedal after dismissing the claims as "gossip."
White's case comes in what has been a wave of sexual misconduct claims that has spread through pop culture in the last year. The #MeToo movement has taken off and highlights the high number of sexual misconduct instances. From notable actors like Kevin Spacey to other talk show personalities like Bill O'Reilly, it seems a new case pops up each week.
White's case was with former bandmate Lena Zawaideh, who alleges that White touched her inappropriately and sent several lewd messages to her throughout their time in the band together. The case resulted in the pair settling out of court. White was asked about the incident during his press conference after winning his third gold medal. White dismissed the question by saying he was here to talk about his victory, not about "gossip." That slip landed him in hot water and caused him to issue another statement. He has been accussed of minimzing the claims against him, which Zawaideh's lawyer states only maximizes the trauma inflicted upon his client.
Now begs the question: should the International Olympic Committee do anything about it? The IOC has taken steps to police all forms of abuse within the Olympics, but this reach should extend to all instances, even those outside of Olympic events. The IOC has a mission to build a peaceful world through education on anti-discrimination, however there doesn't seem to be much action taking place.
Putting athletes on pedestals is not the way to go about driving change. It minimizes sexual misconduct and creates a narrative of, "it's alright. Let's focus on the winning." In truth, it is difficult to create a perfect situation, because one could argue that someone should only be held accountable if they've been found guilty of something in a court of law. In the case of White, and other accused who settle, there is a gray area. White should be barred from participating in the Olympics if there was wrongdoing—he did admit to sending lewd messages—but does it technically count if not proven in the court of law?
This is not to minimize the seriousness of sexual misconduct in any way. It is a heinous crime that is all too common and people in power seem to get away from facing the consequences. There needs to be serious work done towards dealing with this offense in order to truly create a better world. White has established a legacy as one of, if not the best in the world, but this sexual misconduct case will follow him wherever he goes, as it should. It only seems right that this be officially noted along with his winnings.

HC notice to govt on PIL for revival of 'defunct' SHRC
By M A Parray on September 9, 2015 Comments Off on HC notice to govt on PIL for revival of 'defunct' SHRC
Srinagar: The J&K high court on Tuesday issued notice to state government on a Public Interest Litigation seeking revival of the State Human Rights Commission, which is completely defunct for the past more than 14 months.
The notice returnable within a week was issued to the government through secretary law and parliamentary affairs by a division bench of Chief Justice N Paul Vasathakumar and Justice Hasnain Massodi while hearing a PIL filed by an NGO, J&K Peoples Forum, through its secretary general MM Shuja.
"As at present, there is neither any chairperson nor any member in the commission. There is supporting staff comprising of the secretary and an inspector general of police who can't deal with more than 2000 cases pending disposal at present before the Commission," the petitioner said, while seeking direction from the court to the "non-serious" government to take "immediate and effective steps" for making the appointment of the chairperson and the four members of the commission.
The SHRC was left defunct on June 28 when its two members, among them Rafiq Fida who was also serving as its acting chairperson, completed their term. The other retired member was Amlok Singh who served it from June 28, 2011.
The state human rights watchdog is actually headless since October 2011 when Justice (Retd) Bashir-ud-Din retired as chairman. Month later, Abdul Rashid Khan, former Inspector General of Police, completed his term as the member while Javaid Ahmad Kawoosa attained superannuation on October 24, 2013.
Soon after the chairman and the two members (Khan and Kawoosa) retired, the law, justice and parliamentary ministry had announced on its official website that filling up the vacancies was under "active consideration of the government and the process has already been initiated."
While previous government did nothing to revive the commission, the ruling PDP-BJP government, which already completed six months and a week in office, too slept over the issue despite assurances of revving it on "priority basis."
On March 22, the law, justice and parliamentary affairs minister Basharat Bukhari told Kashmir Reader the commission will be revived "very soon".
The SHRC has been empowered to order investigations in cases of human rights violations and recommend measures for effective implementation of laws and safeguards provided by the Constitution to protect human rights.
It is for the first time since its inception in 1997 that the human rights body has remained defunct.
In 2006, the then Chairman, Justice (Retd) AM Mir had resigned in protest against "non-implementation of the Commission's recommendations."
As per the J&K State Protection of Human Rights Act, the chairperson and the members are appointed by a high-level committee headed by the Chief Minister. Its members include Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Chairman of the Legislative Council, Home Minister of the State, Leader of the Opposition in Legislative Assembly and Leader of the Opposition in Legislative Council.

Q: Custom layout with Slick Carousel I am currently using slick carousel.  At the moment, I have a very simple layout

And I have it set up to use center mode
$('.imageSlide').slick({
    infinite: true,
    centerMode: true,
    centerPadding: '60px',
    slidesToShow: 1,
    slidesToScroll: 1
});

That produces the expected result as seen here
The problem I am having is customising this.  I am after a layout like the following

So I am looking to have the main image as the focus, with an additional 2 image displayed to its right with a lower opacity.  When you click the nav, the focus image will disappear, and the next image becomes the focus.  Nothing should display to the left of the focused image, but always two to the right.
I have searched high and low for a plugin that can do this, but nothing is this specific.
Is it possible to achieve in slick, or is there some other way I can achieve this effect?
Thanks

"studio" I used the tent as a backdrop and natural lighting from the cloudy sunshine. This image gives me feminine power. Death is just a transition, nothing less nothing more.
Captured on Royal St. during a 15 min wash out. (If nobody told you the weather man is a liar). I was at the right place at the right time to capture this timeless image. This character on the bike is a New Orleans sword eater, if you will look closely you will find her sword and dog riding along with her.
I invite you to guess which on is which! Look for the musical instrument in the photo.If you want to guess on your own stop reading now! The musician is on the left with his music case behind his chair. The man on the right is not looking that happy either- hens " Pessimist ". The back round of this image is symmetrical and metaphorically represents a day just like any other. The musician on the left seems like life is treating him well- he has a nice suit on - coffee in one hand - a book in the other and he is IN the picture. The pessimist on the right is not having a good day - he's seems as if he is feeling sorry for him self and he is CUT OUT of the picture because he can't see the whole picture - because of his attitude. We make choices every day who we want to be and how we want to feel and this image is a reminder of the result when we choose to be a "musician" in life. Then we can enjoy all the melodies that life has to offer.

Burner Phone Bill Would Violate Privacy
This article originally appeared on Opposing Views.
There's a scene in the seminal police procedural show "The Wire" when Baltimore's detectives get schooled on burners.
Detective Kima Greggs, played by the excellent Sonja Sohn, is sitting in her unmarked car with Bubbles, a heroin addict who's also Kima's confidential informant. Bubbles produces a cell phone from his pocket, presses the call button, holds the phone up to his ear, then frowns and tosses the phone out of the car window.
"You too?" Kima asks. "What the [expletive] is up with these phones? I've been seeing kids throw them away all day. You've got cash like that to waste?"
Bubbles shakes his head and licks his lips.
"They're laying all over, man," he tells Kima. "Sometimes you get lucky and find minutes on them. Burners, Kima."
"Burners?"
In the show, the detectives realize the notorious Barksdale drug gang is using burners — cheap, disposable cell phones loaded with prepaid minutes — to avoid wiretaps and make it more difficult for police to track them.
That was 2004. Sixteen years later, a California congresswoman is treating burners like cutting-edge tech, and claiming they're used almost exclusively by criminals, to push a bill that would require customers to present ID when purchasing burners.
The bill, dubbed the Closing the Pre-Paid Mobile Device Security Gap Act of 2016 by its sponsor, Democratic State Rep. Jackie Speier of San Francisco, would deputize retailers by forcing them to collect identifying information about the buyer "and share that information with the cellular provider for that individual device."
Speier claims it's a necessary step to prevent terrorists, crime lords and human traffickers from duping investigators.
Speier's proposed legislation is unconstitutional and invasive.
First, let's get the obvious truth out of the way: Americans have good, legitimate reasons for using burners. Some people use them because they don't require contracts. For others, especially the nation's poor, burners are one of the few ways people can get their own cell phones without credit checks.
Others use them to protect their own privacy. That's their right. There's nothing in the constitution — and no legal precedent in the history of judicial decisions — that says a technology should be regulated, or privacy violated, simply because its existence is inconvenient for law enforcement.
As The New York Times' Jim Dwyer noted in a 2012 column, burners are also used by whistleblowers and media sources who wish to remain anonymous.
"There are reporters in New York who carry a half-dozen prepaid cellphones, loaded with minutes purchased in cash," Dwyer wrote. "The numbers are not registered to a real person, nor do they have to be under current law. They are peace of mind for confidential sources who have something to say but don't want to make calls to a phone associated with a reporter or a news organization."
Secondly, it's disingenuous to say that police and the feds can't track or tap burners. They've been doing it for years. The National Security Agency has software that analyzes network traffic, call times and contacts to track people who switch between burners, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
A little detective legwork can easily reveal the owner of a burner, as security blog B3RN3D points out — all the police have to do is pull security camera footage from retailers. It's also easy for law enforcement to triangulate the location of a burner device by using information from cell phone towers, as well as law enforcement "honeypots" that masquerade as legitimate cell phone towers, but exist for the purpose of collecting network information.
"If you think the government is after you, there's really not much a burner phone is going to help you with," B3RN3D notes.
Speier's proposed legislation isn't the first time a politician has tried to make it easier for law enforcement to track burners. Similar legislation has been proposed — and shot down — several times over the years.
But like any good politician, Speier knows that it's easier to slip legislation through when the public and fellow lawmakers are emotional. To that end, she's invoked the March 22 terrorist attacks in Belgium, as well as the earlier Paris attacks and even 9/11, to bolster her argument for approving the bill.
Passing legislation on emotion is like grocery shopping while hungry. It's not a good idea, and leads to often regrettable decisions. But with privacy in the balance, the stakes are higher. Let's hope Speier's fellow lawmakers recognize the legislation for the bad idea it is, and reject this attempt at further infringing on privacy.

Pepin, WI
Lake Pepin Campground
Arrived at the Lake Pepin Campground on Sunday, May 11.
Pepin House I Liked (not a shed)
This is a "seasonal" campground — most sites are occupied by people who have the site for an entire camping season. However, most of these folks just seem to visit on weekends, so Jan and I pretty much have the campground to ourselves during the week, except for a handful of people who are here full time.
The campground's web site says there are 130 sites, but the owner is adding another 50 sites which are already "pre-sold" to another batch of seasonal campers.
So every weekend the seasonals show up to boat, fish, and generally work on their places.
Another Pepin House I Liked
Sheds are big. Literally. My site neighbor, a full time seasonal and Burner (more on that later), said it all started when one of the seasonals put up a shed the size of a small house on his site. It took off from there. For example, this morning a large, loud vehicle dropped off a shed on the site behind us.
According to my site neighbor, someone is living in one of the large sheds. He figures this is true because there's a satellite TV antenna hooked up to it.
Seasonals are busy folks. A lot of them are building wood decks next to their campers. However, a lot of them don't like mowing the grass on their sites which annoys the management.
Back to my site neighbor . . . the Burner. He's a very congenial guy and very smart, but he's always burning stuff — morning, noon, and night — and he mostly burns garbage. Little fires that smolder and smoke.
Pepin Has Alleys
We love this place. Really.
When we first arrived, we thought staying a month in Pepin was a mistake, but upon further investigation and exploration, it's a great small town.
It's quaint and cute and all that, but it's more. Pepin has alleys. Though I grew up with alleys, I haven't lived in a place with alleys since then. Pepin has really nice alleys.
We know this because we've pretty much walked the whole town every day. That's what having dogs is all about. We've tried to take 8-month-old Flirt on a long walk each morning and afternoon because otherwise she'd bounce off our RV walls at night.
Anyway, the walks have been great. Jan says I'm getting tan and losing weight from these walks. The former is true.
Flirt and I have gone up and down First through Seventh Streets from the campground (which is at one end of town) to Dunn Street (the other end) where they're working on the sewage treatment plant down by the railroad tracks which are about 1/2 mile from the campground.
Pepin Marina
About those railroad tracks . . . I've heard that people who live close to a highway, airport, or railroad get used to the noise. We can vouch for that. Those trains roll through here day and night and the heavily loaded ones vibrate our motorhome.
Did I tell you that we love this place?
We do. Really.
Finally, the weather has been harsh. Mornings have been generally ok, but afternoons have been thunderstorm after thunderstorm.
We've been in a number of severe thunderstorm and at least one tornado watch.
Wisconsin was at the northern end of storms that devastated Oklahoma.
