Previous / FIA rejects Mercedes' request to review Verstappen's Brazilian F1 GP move Next / Mazepin to miss Qatar GP FP2 due to Haas F1 chassis change
Full FIA stewards' statement on Mercedes' review request
The FIA rejected Mercedes's right to review Max Verstappen's driving at Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix. Below is the full statement from the stewards.
The Competitor provided the Stewards with a letter dated 16 November 2021 with Appendices setting out its arguments in support of the Petition.
Pursuant to Art. 14 of the ISC, a petition for review must be filed against a Stewards' decision and can only be granted if a Competitor successfully demonstrates "that a significant and relevant new element is discovered which was unavailable to the parties seeking the review at the time of the decision concerned." Provided that there is a Stewards' decision, the four key points that the Competitor must demonstrate are that the new element must be (i) Significant, (ii) Relevant (iii) New; and (iv) Unavailable at the time to the parties seeking the review at the time of the decision concerned.
Here, the Competitor points, in particular, to the forward-facing onboard camera footage and the 360° onboard camera footage from Car 33 (the "Footage"), which had to be downloaded after the race as the elements supporting the request for a Right to Review hearing.
It is important to note that the following is not an affirmation or review of the Stewards determination made during the race, but rather is an assessment regarding whether the Right of Review exists.
"The Decision"
With respect to "Incidents during the race", Art. 47.1 of the 2021 FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations (the "SR") states:
"The Race Director may report any on-track incident or suspected breach of these Sporting Regulations or the Code (an "Incident") to the stewards. After review it shall be at the discretion of the stewards to decide whether or not to proceed with an investigation. The stewards may also investigate an Incident noted by themselves." (emphasis added)
The stewards do not sit passively during a race and did not do so in this case. By the time the Race Director asked the Stewards for their view and stated that it was going to be "Noted" on the timing screens, they were already looking at the available footage. The subsequent discretionary decision of the Stewards not to proceed with a formal investigation is the motor racing equivalent of "Play-On" in other sports.
There will always be some angles of video footage, because of limits in both technology and bandwidth, that are unavailable at the time. Whether or not stewards' decisions are considered to be right or wrong, and just as with referees' decisions in soccer, it does not seem desirable to be able to review any or all such in-race discretionary decisions up to two weeks after the fact and the Stewards therefore seriously doubt that the intent of the Right of Review in the ISC is to enable competitors to seek a review of such discretionary decisions that do not follow on from a formal inquiry by the Stewards and do not result in a published document.
Despite the foregoing, Art. 47.1 of the SR applies to the present case as it explicitly states that it is up to "the stewards to decide whether or not to proceed with an investigation", whereas Art. 14 of the ISC refers to "the decision concerned" (small d). As a result, the Stewards in this very specific case determine that the "Turn 4 incident involving cars 33 (Ver) and 44 (Ham): no investigation necessary" constitutes a decision. Having said that and taking the four above-mentioned key points of the Right of Review in reverse order, the Stewards hereby make the following assessment:
It is undeniable that the Footage was unavailable to the Competitor at the time of the Stewards' Decision. Only a single channel of video from each car is available to the broadcaster and the Stewards at any given time and during the incident on Lap 48, the camera selected on Car 33 was the rear facing camera. This then means that it is also unavailable to the Competitor. While not available live, all the other cameras are recorded on-board the cars and are available for download post-race. This test is therefore met.
Many camera angles are not available live to the competitors but are to the Stewards. So, the Stewards considered whether footage that is simply not broadcast or not available to the competitors should be considered new. This is especially in light of the argument that this type of decision is the equivalent of "play on" in other sports.
The Competitor provided as an exhibit, Document 41 from the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix where the onboard 360° camera in that case, which was unavailable to both the team and the Stewards at the time of the initial hearing, was subsequently available and considered "new" by the Stewards at the time.
The Stewards consider this case to be similar and thus determine the test to be met.
The Competitor proposed that the Footage was relevant because it was the only footage that allowed the overall position of the cars, the steering inputs of the driver of Car 33, the heading of the cars and the proximity of the cars to be analysed together. While the Stewards often have to make a decision with a limited set of facts, it is true that in making their review, the front facing camera was one of the angles that the Stewards looked for. The Footage is a direct view of the incident, is not extraneous and is therefore, in the Stewards opinion Relevant.
Significant
Whether this Footage is "significant" is really a question of whether or not it is likely to change the initial decision of the stewards.
In the pertinent example brought forward by the Competitor from Austria in 2020, none of the footage available and viewed at the time of the decision, showed a yellow flag visible to the driver (Lewis Hamilton.) However, the new and previously unavailable 360° camera footage, which was downloaded the next day, clearly showed that the yellow flag was visible from the car and the driver was penalized for failing to slow down. In that case, the footage absolutely changed the decision of the stewards and was thus significant. During the hearing, the Competitor asked that if the Stewards were unconvinced of the significance of the Footage, to be given the opportunity to present its view in that respect. Following the initial part of the hearing, the Stewards gave the Competitor the opportunity to do so, there being precedent for this. The previously unavailable Footage was played, and the Competitor also presented the Footage in a side-by-side comparison with the previous lap.
As noted above, the Stewards often must make a decision quickly and on a limited set of information. At the time of the decision, the Stewards felt they had sufficient information to make a decision, which subsequently broadly aligned with the immediate post-race comments of both drivers involved. Had they felt that the forward-facing camera video from Car 33 was crucial in order to take a decision, they would simply have placed the incident under investigation – to be investigated after the race – and rendered a decision after this video was available. They saw no need to do so.
The Competitor's position is that this new Footage provides sufficient information for the Stewards to come to an altogether different conclusion than they did previously. However, the Stewards determine that the Footage shows nothing exceptional that is particularly different from the other angles that were available to them at the time, or that particularly changes their decision that was based on the originally available footage. Unlike the 2020 Austria case, in the judgement of the Stewards, there is nothing in the Footage that fundamentally changes the facts. Nor even, does this show anything that wasn't considered by the Stewards at the time. Thus, the Stewards determine that the Footage, here, is not "Significant."
The Stewards find, in their sole discretion, that:
- With the reservations raised above, the decision is subject to the Right of Review;
- That the Footage is New;
- That the Footage was Unavailable to the Competitor at the time of the decision subject to the petition for review;
- That the Footage is Relevant; but
- That the Footage is not Significant;
- The four key points required under Art. 14.1.1 are not met and the Stewards, therefore, deny the Competitor's Right of Review.
Competitors are reminded that, in accordance with Art. 14.3 of the ISC, this decision is not subject to appeal.

Stryper's Michael Sweet: "God Damn Evil Is A Prayer Request"
Andrew Catania March 18, 2018	No Comments all that shreds magazineAndrew Cataniajackson guitarsmichael sweetOz FoxRobert SweetStryperTim GainesWashburn Guitars
While being snowed in at his house in Massachusetts, Michael Sweet from Stryper and I discussed there new album, being dissed by Jackson Guitars and touring plans.
Tell me how having Perry Richardson in the band has affected the Stryper camp? Everything good?
MS: Seeing Perry's smile on his face all the time and he's just such a sweetheart. He's a killer player and singer. Now that he's in our band and part of our group were feeding off of his joy, and his energy is just spreading, and we're all so excited to do this.
Did Perry have any contributions to the new album?
MS: We would obviously have preferred that, and that was our first option, but sadly when he came out in an audition for the band, he got on a plane and the next day he was playing with Craig Morgan. He had to fulfill with Craig Morgan and to finish that out. When Perry came out here, we were in the middle of pre-production for the album. So just a few days later we went into the studio and started tracking, so it didn't work out regarding schedules. With that being said, we can't wait to get them on the next album singing and playing. And we're excited about it. It's going to be awesome, I mean we already know what kind of a bass player he is. We played with them here at the house and saw him play, and he's an excellent, fantastic player.
Does Perry's presence in the band bring a sense of relief? Are you happy with your decision?
MS: You know what we are. It's hard to describe. It's just the feeling that takes place in your heart and your mind and your subconscious. It's important to live it with a smile on your face and to live happily. We're delighted right now. I'm in a parish. We couldn't be more thrilled to have him. We're blessed to have this guy. He was a serious a catch and a serious find. We feel bad for the other bands that didn't get him.
What made you go with the album name you've chosen? Are you shaking things up?
MS: We didn't do it just to shake things up. We have a point to prove in a statement. A few years back we thought about using this title. We didn't go with it because we felt it was a little too much at that time. Now in 2018, with everything that we've seen on the news, the evil we're faced with on a daily basis to new levels and new degrees, it made perfect sense for us to have an album called God Damn Evil. It's a prayer request. It is what it is. It's not a swear, it's not just the shock statement, it's a prayer request, and we're asking God to damn the evil that we see. It should be a prayer for everybody. Some people are freaking out thinking you're taking the Lord's name in vain, and it's not that at all
What made you go with Washburn Guitars?
MS: I was with Jackson Guitars for many years. I loved Jackson back in the day. I don't like Jackson now. I'm not a fan. Not a fan for many reasons. First Jackson got absorbed by Fender. I loved the Mom and Pop feeling of it back in the day. Grover (Jackson) owned it, and you walked in there, and they would see you. It was a small little club. It was nice. So that's number one. I love that. I hate the fact that they're so big now that you can't get on the phone with anyone and I've tried multiple times over the years.
The other thing that I don't like is Stryper helped build Jackson. We were one of the bands that two of the guitar players that helped put them on the map along with many other people. Obviously Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee and even Steve Vai at the time. Stryper helped. We played Jackson, and we had number one videos, and all you saw was Jackson Guitars. They don't give us the time of day. Now they don't acknowledge that, and that's fine. The most important reason why I'm not a big Jackson guy, I don't like the quality of the guitars nowadays. If you pick up an old Jackson, there's no comparison to an original Jackson and a new Jackson. There's no comparison. I think that's because Grover Jackson built that company, and he was the talent there, and he's no longer there. So Washburn feels more like Jackson did to me back in the day than Jackson does now in the sense that it's a real tight relationship with them. They care, they go the extra mile to take care of their artists. They don't have a 1000 artists like Jackson. They're making the guitars that are incredible quality in their custom shop that take me back to the quality of Jackson back in 1985, 86 and 87.
What are the some of the specs on your Signature Model?
Easy to play fast. I've got the Floyd upgrade parts on the Floyd Roses have a guide. Seymour Duncan pickups on my import and I've got a Fishman Fluence pickups in my US models. 24 frets, ebony neck, lightweight, super comfortable to hold and play. No stress on your shoulders at all. I couldn't be more pleased with my Washburn's.
Have you and Sebastian Bach settled whatever beef he had with you?
MS: I've reached out to Sebastian a couple of times and emailed him. I have no beef with him at this time. I respect Sebastian, he's a great singer, and it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully, it is with him too. Those things happen in life, and it's all good.
What are your plans for the rest of 2018?
MS: I have an album the start on with Joel Hoekstra at the beginning of next year. Stryper is going to be hitting the road. We've got a lot of dates on the books already, and there's many more coming in. So by the, by the end of the year, we'll probably have 70 to 80 shows confirmed, and we're going to be touring a lot man going into next year as well.

God Damn Evil will be out on April 20th, 2018 via Frontiers Records.

These days, both small-scale and large-scale business people have realized the merits of good digital printing services. However, it is unfortunate that not all digital printing services providers meet their clients' needs as promised. This is often as a result of poor investment in the types of printing machines to execute customers' orders. Also, poor training of staff is a core reason for low-quality printing services; therefore, a good company should employ well-trained staff who are creative as well.
Businesses often approach digital printing companies for the production of various documents. The most common ones include; manuals, business cards , flyers and many others. In most cases, these documents are for marketing purposes. Surprisingly, your business card tells so much about you and your business. If it is well designed and printed on a good quality paper, it will show a desirable the level of professionalism. That said, the digital printing company to hire must show its superiority by presenting samples of documents printed in the past.
Apart from the presence of state-of-the-art digital printing machines, a good company should also offer full-color digital printing services. This comes a long way in the production of perfect documents in high definition. However, this has to be accompanied by the choice of high-quality paper stock whose price can be slightly higher. That said, it is important to note that digital printing services are not simply about having your business product printed. If you already have a self-made design, the printing services provider should help you make necessary adjustments where appropriate, and this should involve a seamless process of converting the files into full color. To know about their services you can visit this site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_printing .
Some printing methods are quite expensive. Luckily, digital printing is one of the pocket-friendly printing methods. However, you have to find a good company having reasonable prices. To start with, a reliable company must be ready and willing to process your order regardless of its size. It should accept your order for printing as low as ten business cards and it should also have the capacity to work on large orders for over ten thousand business cards.
Several digital printing services providers out there have modern machines for the production of high-quality products. However, most are slow. This results in slow turnarounds that make the process to be expensive since higher overheads are incurred. As such, your preferred digital printing services provider must have a fast turnaround time, and delivery services should be available to enhance your convenience and little print services can provide that.

Joseph has released his third book, On the Shoulders of Giants Vol: 3 South America. The continent of South America is home to the largest population of African people outside of Africa. Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador are four countries with the highest populations of African people in the world. Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, Guyana, and Suriname are the remaining countries that make up this continent. According to data collected by the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World and 10.7 million were able to survive the trip across the Atlantic. Of the 10.7 million Africans who reached the Americas, 90 percent of them were taken to various countries throughout South America. Through my research, I have learned that South America is rich in African history and culture. During the history classes we took while attending school, our teachers were rarely equipped to teach the history of African people inside and outside of the United States. Therefore, we were greatly deprived of the powerful stories of the many African people who opposed white supremacy and ensured the freedom for their people for generations to come. In this volume, I introduce you to the following heroes:
Victoria Santa Cruz
Edson Arantes do Nascimento aka Soccer Legend Pele
María Remedios del Valle
Quamina Gladstone
Juana Ramirez
Jose Olaya
The Ndyuka People
Zumbi dos Palmares
Dandara dos Palmares
Edgardo Orunto
Benkos Bioho
Tupac Amaru
These 12 heroes and the Ndyuka people risked their lives and careers for their people. These leaders promoted their cultures and helped ensure future generations are able to thrive. Our heroes understood the importance of the youth knowing their history; so they fought to protect their future. The Ndyuka People of Suriname are a group of African people who survived the Middle Passage, escaped slavery, waged war against their enslavers, and created settlements that still exist today.
This book gives you some insight into the struggles African people endured at the hands of white supremacy over the last 500 years. We have been led to believe that African people contributed nothing to humanity and were only civilized when Europeans enslaved them. The indigenous populations of South America were also subjected to slaughter and enslavement at the hands of white supremacy. Some of the indigenous populations aligned themselves with the Maroons (Africans who escaped slavery) and played a part in the many wars against Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese enslavement.

Every so often, when reviewing fmv clips in the Theater, I'd get a screenshot with moogles populating it, but only if I left the cursor on it. If I move the cursor once and then back, that vanished unless I do a bunch of cursor movement. I watch these clips, to see nothing spectacular or different.
Is there anything to this? If there is, I'd like to know. I do have all the clips unlocked (some of these were a MEGA PITA to get).
On another note...I think the secondary game ending is damn sad...anyone else?

O'Mara blasts move to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants: Says New York State becoming a haven for lawbreakers and putting law-abiding citizens at risk
Senator O'Mara strongly opposes legislation to allow the state to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
It puts overall public safety and security at risk, and imposes another unfunded mandates on counties.
Albany, N.Y., June 5—State Senator Tom O'Mara (R,C,I-Big Flats) today joined his Senate GOP colleagues to protest a move by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic leaders of the State Legislature to allow the state to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
"Governor Cuomo and the Democratic leaders of the Legislature are making New York State a haven for lawbreakers. It is a radical, irresponsible, and reckless agenda. I warned before this new legislative session even started that this state would be turned upside down at breakneck speed. Following outrageous parole releases and other questionable actions in the name of 'criminal justice,' the next step is to reward lawbreaking illegal immigrants with a government-issued driver's license. It puts overall public safety and security at risk, imposes another unfunded mandates on counties, and asks local, law-abiding public servants to break the law," said O'Mara.
The Democrat-sponsored legislation (S1747/A3675) is currently in the Senate and Assembly Transportation Committees. The Assembly plans to act on it next week.
The legislation would permit illegal immigrants to apply for a standard New York State driver's license using forms of foreign identification.
Among numerous concerns, O'Mara and other opponents argue that county clerks and employees at local Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV) are unable to verify the authenticity of foreign IDs.
The New York Association of County Clerks opposes the measure.
Only twelve states and Washington, D.C. allow illegal immigrants to obtain a driver's license.

Trevor Noah responds to Kanye West after the rapper called it racial slur and his Instagram account was suspended
Trevor Noah responded to racist slurs directed at him by Kanye West on Instagram.
the west had him Instagram account suspended for 24 hourss after using slander while responding to comedian comments about him in daily offer.
In his letter attacking Noah, West, now known as Ye, repeatedly referred to him as "k**n" after the comedian said the situation between the rapper and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson was "horrifying to watch."
according to TMZInstagram parent Meta said West's posts are a violation of the social media app's policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying.
The Urban Dictionary described the slur West style used as an "anti-black black person".
In response to the post, Noah shared a lengthy comment below the post, which has since been removed due to West's account suspension.
"Oh, as for K**n…obviously some people graduate but we're still idiots," Noah said, addressing the racial slur.
He added, "Never forget, the biggest racist trick racists ever played on black people was to teach us to strip each other of our blackness whenever we disagreed. They trick us into tearing ourselves into shrapnel so that we may never unite in a strong rod."
Trevor Noah responded to racist slander directed at him by Kanye West on Instagram
The comedian was praised for the comment, in which he acknowledged West's "impact" but added, "It breaks my heart to see you like this."
"There are few artists who have influenced me more than you," Noah wrote. I took samples and turned them into symphonies. You've taken your pain and turned it through the wire into perfect performance. I thought differently about how to spend my money because of you."
Noah said, "You are an indelible part of my life. That's why it breaks my heart to see you like this. I don't care if you support Trump and I don't care if you roast a house. But I do care when I see you on a path dangerously close to danger and pain."

Throughout the 2016 racing season Team Losi Racing Team and engineering staff was always evolving their chassis setups on the TLR® 8IGHT™ 4.0. All of this culminates into the 2017 TLR Tuning Kit for the 8IGHT 4.0 buggy. Using our racing team and development staff we have further improved the 8IGHT platform for a more reliable and faster race buggy. The key improvements allow the buggy improved the handling on bumpy tracks, enhanced braking, and improved durability. This TLR tuned kit allows the consumer to purchase all of the same parts that were used by our race team at the IFMAR 2016 World Championships and into the 2017 racing season. Here is why we came out with each part.
Lighter weight and more flex for a more responsive vehicle in bumpy conditions. With this chassis the gear box now has the ability to move 3mm forward, in conjunction with the included offset rear adjustable hinge pin braces, to give the rear end less bone angle for less mechanical bind which allows the car to adapt quicker to rough terrain.
Completely new 100% CNC design now keeps the brake disc true with the out drive and minimizes the possibility for it to skew. Now the brake plates have material glued in for a much more stronger and consistent brake feel after a hour long main event.
Reduce the mechanical bind in the drive train to allow the suspension to adapt to the surface quicker.
New front aluminum spindles are required with the front universals to allow for the correct bearing depth. These also add significant durability to the most vulnerable part of the car if it comes under heavy impact.
This new wing mount allows for the new polycarbonate or the standard plastic wing to be used by allowing 5-40 srews, aluminum support washers and nuts to secure it to the mount, but as an added feature you can install the new ( included) machined post to continue to use the body clip method for attaching the wing to the mount.
A new polycarbonate high down force wing is much lighter than the traditional composite wing, when installed it brings the buggys center of gravity creating a stable buggy around high speed tracks. This wing also generates more down force for more rear traction, but can be tuned out by simply opening holes to reduce the drag.
The new TLR wheel nuts include a steel screw and nut in the center which holds to our new magnetic TLR wheel wrench (wrench not included). This makes tire changes during main events much faster and minimizes risk of loosing a nut during a tire change.
This body is an all new design that compliments the new polycarbonate high downforce wing, while the cab and front side pods have more surface area for greater front traction and steering. The body, in combination with the wing, provides a more stable buggy.
This new nut directly replaces the stock nut and now uses a clamping feature via a screw. This removes the chances of the servo saver nut backing off during long main events.

From My Bookshelf: Mary Renault and the Greek Theater
4th century B.C.E., actors, Apollo, Euripides, Greece, Mary Renault, masks, Peter Arnott, Plato, Sophocles, Syracuse, theater, Tufts University
Review: The Mask of Apollo, by Mary Renault
Vintage, 1988. 371 pp. $17.
I was born to the theater. My parents met in a high-school play on the eve of World War II; they named me, their second child, for a famous Shakespearean actor. I majored in drama in college, thinking I'd be a playwright, where I had the good fortune to study classical Greek theater with the late Peter Arnott. When he recommended Mary Renault's novels as both scrupulously accurate and good fiction, I read The Mask of Apollo. I loved it.
Last week, I picked it up for another go-round, and again, I was enthralled. Nikeratos, an Athenian actor from the fourth century B.C.E., himself the son of an actor, tells his life story from the time he was a young boy, playing extras, to his career as a great tragedian. Since ancient Greek theater was religious rite, entertainment, social instruction, and political commentary rolled into one, that gives Renault a broad stage to work with, and she directs her drama with unerring skill. Fitting the religious aspect, Niko, as he's familiarly known, keeps a beautiful theatrical mask of Apollo wherever he goes, through which he communicates with his favorite patron god about important life decisions.

He needs all the guidance he can get. Greek theater is a demanding life, shaped by hardship, jealousy, low public taste, arrogant producers and stars, camaraderie, disappointment, temptations to alcoholism, gossip, and political intrigue. Has anything changed? When I first read The Mask of Apollo, I laughingly asked myself whether Renault had overheard my friends and me at our dining-hall conversations or visited our green room. Niko tosses off lines like, "Of course we were bypassing Corinth [on our tour]. Corinthians know what is due to them, and throw things if they don't get it." And when Plato, a character who appears often in the novel, wrinkles his nose at the character interpretations in Euripides, Niko can only reply, "But it's such marvelous theater."
If The Mask of Apollo were merely Niko's career path, it would be entertaining, though unremarkable. But Renault reaches for more. Through his theatrical interpretations and diplomatic missions, Niko plays a political role, on and off stage. As religious practitioners, actors were nominally protected from harm, but Niko can never be sure that a tyrant (or usurper) will honor that rule. So when he gets involved in the grand experiment to install a philosopher-king at Syracuse under Plato's tutelage, Niko must use his theatrical talent in various ways just to survive. The Mask of Apollo therefore grapples with a key question, whether philosophers should be kings (or vice versa); or, to put it another way, whether politics and ideal expectations can ever mix.
But the book also has much to say about art and who or what it must serve. As Niko tells a Syracusan leader he admires:
It means not setting oneself above one's poet, nor being false to the truth one knows of men. When one can see that the audience wants the easy thing, or the thing just in fashion, and even the judges can't be trusted not to want it too, for whom does one stay honest? Only for the god.
Niko understands that honesty in theater, as in life, is a precious commodity, and that it comes, when it does, in unexpected ways, sometimes. Peter Arnott taught me that, though not in his lectures–rather, on stage, of sorts. He performed Oedipus Rex (his translation, of course), using marionettes that he'd made himself. Imagine the artifice: a painted stage set scaled to puppets, obviously not human, and a black-curtained hood, behind which Professor Arnott spoke all the lines, in different voices.
Nevertheless, at the play's climax, when Oedipus realizes he's murdered his father, the hush that fell over us, the audience, brought awe, sympathy, and pity. And when the marionette Oedipus grabbed the scenery wall and gave it an agonized shake, a gesture daring us to laugh or break our belief in what we'd just seen, the pathos redoubled instead.
I'll remember that moment forever, if I live to be a hundred.

Lady Gaga took a break during her concert in Las Vegas on Saturday to chastise Vice President Mike Pence for defending wife Karen's decision to teach art at a private Virginia school that explicitly bans LGBT students and parents.
"You say we should not discriminate against Christianity; you are the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian," the singer said to the vice president while performing the song "Million Reasons" at her residency at the Park MGM. Her remarks were captured by audience members and shared on social media.
We need more people like Gaga to not be afraid and to speak up. What she says here, thank you for using your voice @ladygaga #ENIGMA ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖🖤 pic.twitter.com/kPmJim1VUp

"I am a Christian woman and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome," said Lady Gaga, a likely best actress Oscar contender for her performance in "A Star is Born."
"So you can take all that disgrace, Mr. Pence, and you can look yourself in the mirror and you'll find it right there," she added.

Gaga's comments followed a week of headlines about Karen Pence returning to teach art two days a week at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va. She worked at the school 12 years before her husband became vice president, according to USA Today.
The Huffington Post, Washington Post and USA Today, citing the school's online parent's agreement, said the school can "discontinue enrollment" of a student if they or their parents "are in opposition to the biblical lifestyle the school teaches." This definition includes "supporting or condoning sexual immorality, homosexual activity or bisexual activity."
Perhaps hoping for some good P.R., Karen Pence released a statement last week about how she was returning to her great love: being in a classroom and teaching.
"I am excited to be back in the classroom and doing what I love to do. I have missed teaching art," said Karen Pence, who has taught at public and private schools in Indiana, illustrated a children's book about a rabbit named Marlon Bundo and advocated for art therapy programs in her current role.
But then came news about Immanuel Christian's policies against LGBT students and parents.
Mike Pence tried to defend the school and his wife's choice to teach there in an interview with Christian television station EWTN: "To see major news organizations attacking Christian education is deeply offensive to us. … We have rich tradition in America of religious education. … The freedom of religious is enshrined in the United States."

— Lauren Ashburn (@LaurenAshburn) January 17, 2019
Pence's spokeswoman Kara Brooks also called it "absurd that (Karen Pence's) decision to teach art to children at a Christian school, and the school's religious beliefs, are under attack," USA Today reported.
But Rick Sutton, an LGBT advocate who co-founded Freedom Indiana, told USA Today that the Pence family's stance against LGBT rights is well-known, so he wasn't surprised by Karen Pence's decision to work at the school. Mike Pence also has long maintained that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Lady Gaga, who has long advocated for LGBT rights, called into question the vice president's concerns about criticism of the school's "Christian education" when weighed against the school's discriminatory policies.
"To Mike Pence, who thinks it's acceptable that his wife work at a school that bans LGBTQ, you are wrong," the "Born This Way" singer said.
In her brief break from singing, Lady Gaga, who real name is Stefani Germanotta, also took aim at Pence's boss, President Donald Trump, over the government shutdown, which entered its 31st day Monday, making it the longest in U.S. history.
Big plans for El Camino Real being considered: Roadshow
Also on the November ballot? Lots and lots of school bonds
She said she hoped "the (expletive) president of the United States could please put our government back in business (as) there are people who live paycheck to paycheck and need their money."
Lady Gaga then got back to her music by saying, "OK, I'm sorry, I got upset for a second there."

Home News Haiti 1000 Gourdes banknote of 1999-2009
Haiti 1000 Gourdes banknote of 1999-2009
15 Jul 2019 Mon
Haiti is a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic to its east. The region was originally inhabited by the indigenous Taino people. Spain landed on the island on 5 December 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic. When Columbus initially landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or China. The island was named La Espanola and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century.
Haiti has a rich and unique cultural identity, consisting of a melange of traditional customs of French and African, mixed with those from the Spanish and indigenous Taino cultures. Haiti's culture is greatly reflected in its paintings, music, literature and obviously through their currency!
The gourde is the currency of Haiti and it is divided into 100 centimes (French) or santim (Creole). The governments of Haiti issued paper money in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 gourdes. The banknote depicted in the image alongside is 1000 Gourde banknote issued from 1999 to 2009. The note specifications are as follows:
The Obverse: President Florvil Hyppolite to left; Stylized sailing ship in centre; Crawling flies or bugs in the background; Coat of arms of Port-au-Prince (lion lying on a crown, an arrow and a sailing ship).
The Reverse: Marche Valliere (Iron Market) in Port-au-Prince. This violet note has the portrait of President Florvil Hyppolite and reinforced cornerstones as watermark.

Dividends under Solvency II
As you will be aware, Solvency II will impose requirements as to the quality of the capital held by a firm. Core tier 1 capital is the best, and will typically be made up by ordinary share capital.
The Solvency II Regulations (otherwise known as the Level 2 measures) look set to take this a step further. From the latest draft that we have seen, an ordinary share would not meet the tier 1 criteria unless the firm is able - in certain circumstances - to cancel a dividend that has been declared but not yet paid. The circumstances in question are where the firm is in breach of its solvency capital requirement (SCR), or where the payment of the dividend would put it in breach. The PRA has in its latest Solvency II consultation adopted this with a draft rule, and associated Supervisory Statement. So far so good, and indeed it seems quite legitimate for the EU and the PRA to specify what may or may not constitute Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.
However, the PRA goes further. It goes on to say that: "The PRA considers that where a firm's articles of association do not prohibit the cancellation of a dividend at any time, including after declaration, then they may be said to allow such cancellation so that the firm may be able to declare a dividend on a conditional basis, allowing cancellation of the dividend at any time prior to payment, if the applicable conditions are not met. Firms should ensure that they review their own articles to establish the absence of any such prohibition. Firms should also consider whether it is appropriate to amend their articles to include a specific power for the firm to declare dividends subject to conditions or even for all declarations of dividend to be conditional."
This statement merits some careful consideration. Under English company law, a final dividend when declared and approved by shareholders becomes a debt of the company. Is it right that a company may declare a conditional dividend without express powers to do
One can imagine scenarios where problems in following the PRA's analysis may arise, particularly in the case of a delay between declaration and payment. For instance, where the firm suffers a material adverse change. Or where the SCR simply increases, e.g. where the PRA imposes a capital add-on. There may be additional considerations for a firm with publicly traded shares for which an 'ex dividend' date applies. These firms will likely have disclosure or other obligations arising from their listing arrangements in relation to possible non-payment of a declared dividend. How would shareholders/ buyers respond to being told that a declared dividend was to be pulled? Not well, one suspects.
The legal fix would be for a firm to amend its constitutional documents to expressly provide for payment of dividends to be conditional in this way. This should be a relatively simple exercise, although this may raise questions amongst the investor base. Alternatively a firm may choose to rely on the PRA's interpretation of company law. But it will need to brace itself for shareholder challenge if things turn bad. We would strongly suggest that a firm takes its own advice on whether such an approach will stand up in the face of this.

The WHO classification of haematopoietic tumours uses genetic markers to aid in the classification of Precursor Lymphoid Neoplasms. The identification of the t(12;21) (TEL-AML1 or ETV6-RUNX1), t(4;11) (KMT2A-AFF1 or MLL-AF4) and t(1;19) (E2A-PBX1 or TCF3-PBX1) are useful diagnostic tools and also have prognostic significance that allow for therapeutic stratification.
In this programme participants are provided with lyophilised cell-lines for t(12;21) (TEL-AML1 or ETV6-RUNX1), t(4;11) (KMT2A-AFF1 or MLL-AF4) and t(1;19) (E2A-PBX1 or TCF3-PBX1) analysis. Participants are asked to submit qualitative results, together with details of the methodology. All samples mimic diagnostic specimens and are therefore not suitable for MRD analysis; this may be subject to change dependent on participants' feedback. Instructions for storage, reconstitution and use of the lyophilised samples are included with the samples. Three send-outs are issued per annum, with each send-out consisting of two samples.


How to Get Rid of Ingrown Hairs Fast And Easy Created with Sketch.
Of course, we're far from the cavemen days, and we can now remove, or keep, or shape our body hair as we please. But even if you choose to live an au naturel, hair-filled life, ingrowns can still happen, warns Dr. Gohara, thanks to a combo of friction, sweat, and the natural coarseness of your hair. I know—there's no winning in the smooth-skin game.
So to make the inevitable a bit more bearable, I got Dr. Gohara to explain the absolute best way to get rid of an ingrown hair, fast.
Every time you shower (especially right before you shave, if you're a shaver), make sure to gently slough away dead skin with a scrubby mitt or a gentle body scrub to keep your hairs from growing inwards or getting caught in the follicle, she says.
If you're past the point of prevention and a red bump is already visible, don't try scrubbing it open. 'Once the ingrown hair is there, you need to treat it nicely, or you'll make it worse through inflammation,' she says. After gently massaging the bumps with your mitt or scrub in the shower, towel off, then dab the area with a salicylic acid–based spot treatment.
After your salicylic acid dries, you can 'dab a little bit of over-the-counter cortisone creamon the bump to settle down the inflammation and soothe any accompanying razor burn,' says Dr. Gohara. 'Cortisone cream shrinks swollen skin by constricting blood vessels, so you'll get some relief from pain and redness at once.' Apply a thin layer once a day until the bump heals.
And that's it! Easy, peasy, right? I know none of these steps are an instant fix, but there's only so much you can do when your skin is angry with you. Of course, heading to your dermatologist to get a quick extraction and a cortisone shot is an option if you're in a mad rush, but for the average day? Let the three simple steps above be your guide.


So, not to go all nostalgic on you, but before the days of careers, Instagram and even boys... we had one thing... our friends. Everything was a bit easier in those days. We had no bills, no real pressure and the only competition was who would have the darkest friendship bracelet tan lines and the coolest Trapper Keeper come September. I like mixing in that old school summer style around my wrists, as a reminder of how fun and simple things used to be and nothing looks cuter than the contrast of bright neon string against a fresh tan. I like to wear my friendship bracelets all summa (starting around Coachella time)... tie them super tight, watch them fade into a cool bleached-out situation (from the sun and salt water) and then cut them off in the fall. You obviously need more than one, as having one friend is not a good look, but any more than three starts to look aggressive as we are no longer 7 years old, and we most likely no longer have 15 best friends.
I am totally obsessing over Namah Bijou. The designer, Stephanie, is a spiritual sweetheart who delivers a quality product for a GREAT price (finally, I mean we are talking about tied strings after all) and offers custom EVERYTHING. You can add your initials to the mini gold plate which is placed in the middle of your fishtail friendship bracelet set, keep one for yourself, and give 2 away. I like to mix the friendship bracelets with my usual Dannijo and Eddie Borgo gold arm candy. Namah also offers cute little gold bars and I LOVE the thin gold strands with neon yellow Swarvoski Pearls.
She also does the beaded/leather pieces that Janete is rocking below which make you look tanner than Zoom teeth whitening ever will.

Dries: I am sure that there are festivals with a more famous line-up, more stages and of course a larger audience. But what I am also sure of is: none come close to the relaxed atmosphere, the balanced mix of new and known bands but most of all the "we are one big family" feeling. Progpower is not just a music festival, it is a happening. People from all over the world meet each other one weekend a year to enjoy some really great progressive metal (and all genres close to it). And during the years a group of people is formed that you meet there every year and consider friends even though you have little to no contact in between ProgPowers with most of them. The music is great and that is of course why we are all there, but just sitting outside discussing music with people that have a similar taste is also a very big plus. I said not so famous line-up but this year Jon Oliva headlined the sunday, so a very big name at the end of the weekend. Expections were high!
Dries: As I have a soft spot for these guys from Enschede I was very happy to see they them added to the ProgPower list on short notice. Mechanical Poet's cancellation bumped DGM up to the next day and opened an opportunity for POTM. My first chance to see them live, but it did not bring me much joy.
The sound was terrible at the beginning, a large blur of noises. During the first 2 songs it took me a while to actually recognise the songs which is especially strange if you consider up till now Picture Of The Moon had only released 2 EPs, not much to choose from. I don't think the band was to blame and they were sure doing their best although their performance was a bit messy too. So I really felt a bit sorry for them.
At the end of the set around the last three songs the sound was much better and the band had their act together. People were finally starting to enjoy themselves. But unfortunately the damage had already been done at that time.
Picture Of The Moon did not really impress and that is a pity because knowing their studio work, they should have. If everything would have been up to the level of Black Roses and Depressive Garden (one of their best tracks anyway) this performance could have been a surprise to a lot of people. Now it all seems to be a missed opportunity.

Sun Basket, the most popular meal kit service of 2017 according to our readers, keeps on adding new meal options for special diets to its already diverse menu. After introducing Lean & Clean meals, light, healthy, and low in calories and sodium, as well as heart-healthy meals with the Heart-Check certification, Sun Basket is expanding its offer by launching its own diabetes-friendly meals.
The reason behind Sun Basket's decision to introduce diabetes-friendly meal kits is twofold. First, 30 million people in America suffer from diabetes and more than 100 million Americans are at risk for diabetes. From a business point of view, this is a rather large market that Sun Basket can tap into. By offering natural and organic meal kits to individuals suffering from this chronic disease, Sun Basket can further expand its customer base and make diabetes-friendly home cooking far easier.
Second, experience has shown that customers on special diets are more likely to stick to their meal kit subscriptions than those who do not have special dietary requirements. If Sun Basket's diabetes-friendly meal kits manage to satisfy both the tastes and nutritional needs of individuals with diabetes, the company is sure to gain lots of loyal customers.
With 10 diabetes-friendly meal kits on its Classic menu and 5 diabetes-friendly kits on its Family menu, Sun Basket offers plenty of options to home cooks with diabetes. Chef-crafted, nutritionist-approved, and created with the help of the American Diabetes Association, Sun Basket's meal kits seem to be a perfect choice for diabetics across the nation.

Big Brother Exit Interview: Nikki Grahame
By Jeevan Brar on	 May 8, 2016 Exclusives
Big Brother Canada had a double eviction on the April 28th episode. Jared was the first houseguest to be evicted (read the exit interview here), and then wildcard U.K. contestant Nikki Grahame was next. While we were unable to send questions to Nikki ourselves, the team at BBCAN provided us with a great Q&A. Check it out below.
How shocked were you to be evicted?
I was half expecting it. I survived the first one, but before I could absorb that fact, I was back on the block! What did come as a surprise was Tim not voting to save me.
Do you think you could have gone all the way?
I think I could have lasted one more week, at least. I've come this far, so to fall at the last hurdle is a bit of a kick in the gut.
Who or what do you think was most responsible for your eviction, and why?
I think that little meeting Tim held in the backyard before the POV ceremony had a lot to do with it. I just sat on the sofas… I wish I'd gone out there. I trusted Tim and that was probably a big mistake.
What was the hardest thing to deal with in the Big Brother Canada house?
The brutalness of the people talking about you, in front of you, walking into conversations where people are talking about you, having to vote each other out. The sheer cutthroat parts of the game, really.
We saw you have a hard time with things that happened in the house — slop, for instance.
Slop was hell on Earth. I literally had to take each day at a time, because I just wanted to leave. I couldn't bear the whole idea of a week on slop. Luckily, we got pizza halfway through the week, so that was a good break.
What were the differences that surprised you between Big Brother Canada and Big Brother U.K.?
After Big Brother U.K., you have your friends and family waiting for you the minute you come out of the house, but in Canada you go straight to the jury house. Also in Big Brother U.K., you're strictly not allowed to talk about nominations. It's forbidden. It's crucial that your fate lies in the hands of the housemates.
What's your favourite memory from the Big Brother Canada house?
My favourite memory by far is the live kangaroo in the backyard, and the three cutest puppies I've ever seen in my life. Just being voted into the Big Brother Canada house was a huge achievement. I'm really grateful to Canada for being so welcome to me, and so lovely. I think that exit will stay with me forever and I think everyone that was there.
Going in as a wildcard, what did you expect from the Canadian houseguests?
Well, they were never going to be really happy to have two additions to the house but once they got to know us, we were alright!
Who do you plan on being friends with outside of the house?
I'm obviously going to be friends with Joel. I'd like to say Tim, but it's still a bit raw. He's upset me quite a bit, but I'll give him a chance to grovel. And maybe Cassandra, just because she's so funny. And Mitch, of course!
What were some of the biggest challenges you had in the house? Did you enjoy competing against the other houseguests?
I despised the challenges. It was the worst, ever. It was hard. I never ever won a challenge. I'm not going to miss those one bit.
You gave your fellow houseguests nicknames when they annoyed you. Which nickname was your favourite?
It would have to be "Hyena" for Raul and "Poison" for the poisonous one, Maddy.
Why did you call Raul a hyena?
Because he was always squawking, making noise and being obnoxious. Perhaps just like how I would imagine a hyena to behave. Maddy was poisonous. The name says it all, really. She was pure poison.
Do you have any regrets?
My only regret would be leaving my fate in Tim's hands, because it proved I couldn't trust him in the end. So yeah, that was a hard lesson to learn.
Big Brother Canada will continue to air this Sunday at 7pm and Wednesday at 8pm. The 2-hour season finale will be held on Thursday from 7-9pm.

On top of that, there are many hidden portals around the game world. Step onto the blue portal to enter the dark world which is a mirror of the light world with minor differences in layout. You can also use the mirror to warp from the Dark World to the Light World at any location.
Break out your hammer and smash the pegs, and finally lift the giant block over your head.
Its right after the Sanctuary too with all items collected up to that point, I played it through a tiny amount to check that it was working.
You can utilize the Magic Cape to make this experience much easier, but be careful not to slip off any of the edges.
You can use it on your computer or mobile device with an emulator, just as if it were being played on the Game Boy Advance.
Link can escort him back to his partner in the Light World to be rewarded with the Tempered Sword. The "Essence of the Triforce" talks to Link at the end. It only happened once again in the series at the beginning of the Oracle games ("Accept our quest, hero!") but, otherwise, the Triforce is silent and seemingly inanimate in all its appearances. According to the lore, it's because the swamp was overflowing with rainwater that threatened to flood the rest Classic Tetris – Play Game Online of the land, so a mountain range was put up to prevent that from happening. A tiny demon curses Link to only use half of his magic power per spell. In other words, the demon's "curse" turns out to be extremely beneficial.

While we hadn't seen a new installment within the franchise since Breath of Fire 6 was released on PC and mobile in 2016, the franchise still remains a well-known name among players. That was for the game fanatic in you or those who miss the 90's Super Mario and Pokemon games. No need to miss them anymore, but you can experience them in the entirety all over again. Just get them from any of these GBA ROMS sites and keep playing. If you click on the platform's option in the navigation bar, you can see the advanced GameBoy in there. It is a beautiful full-fledged website complete with graphics and everything.
Key and Visual Boy Advance will drop a screen shot into the same directory where your video game ROM resides. With all the emulator offerings as of 2022, should you use Visual Boy Advance (or VisualBoyAdvance-M)? RetroArch, a popular multi-system emulator, is a great option for bundling GBA emulation with 40+ other video game systems. These emulators are still in development, unlike Visual Boy Advance which has been abandoned.

@ThePizzaCheese …and if they were they would probably concede but that won't stop the wrath of PC gamers against Nintendo. Just not sure Nintendo is up to the task of pushback from PC gamers.. Also, I never "converted" to PC gaming as I started with that. It's just that there are legit reasons and nonsense reasons to do so. And some people obviously don't know what they are talking about and then use the nonsense reasons.
The zip contains two patches that need to be applied to week 3 and week 4 respectively. Means you'll have unlimited time to end a week and also play all the timed events. Master Quest indoors (take care to apply the correct patch!). Apply both versions on the Official roms (means, also the MQ versions must be applied on the !official! AST roms and not the MQ roms). The patch does not work properly with the Master Quest version. This base patch translates the japanese kanji into English .

The Stone Roses confirm two more festival shows for next summer
Ian Brown and co will precede Heaton Park gigs with Danish and Swedish shows
The Stone Roses have confirmed another two festival appearances for next summer.
The band, who announced their reformation in October, are already confirmed to play festival shows at Spain's Benicassim, Scotland's T In The Park, Japan's Fuji Rock Festival and have now added appearances at Denmark's NorthSide festival and Sweden's Hultsfred festival for next June.
NorthSide will take place in Aarhus in Denmark and will run from June 15 – 17, while Hultsfred takes place in the town of the same name from June 14 – 16
This means that as things currently stand, the band's first live appearance since reuniting will either be at NorthSide festival or Hultsfred festival.
The Danish and Swedish shows will precede the band's three huge homecoming gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park on June 29, 30 and July 1, which sold out just over an hour after going onsale.
To find out more information about the festivals and for tickets, visit Northside.dk or Hultsfredfestivalen.se.
The reunited band are also strongly rumoured to be announcing further UK festival gigs for this summer, with reports suggesting V Festival is another likely date.

The commentators 12-09-14

...on the Scottish referendum
If you travel beyond Britain's shores, the persistent question you hear is the simplest one. Why? How can one of the world's most successful multinational states contemplate such a wilful act of self-harm? These overseas observers – American diplomats, European politicians, Chinese scholars – do not see a phoenix rising from the ashes of the old. They see a Scotland toying with a future of obscure irrelevance and a fractured Britain rushing to embrace decline.
- Philip Stephens, Financial Times
The English, Welsh and Northern Irish have become voteless and voiceless in this debate about the survival of their country. The idea that they may want a say, and that they might care deeply, was seen as bizarre by most of those I spoke to yesterday: surely, they said, it's a vote about Scotland's future? How could it affect anyone else? This is perhaps Alex Salmond's greatest achievement: to persuade Scots that they can create a new country without also destroying an old one.
- Fraser Nelson, Daily Telegraph
It is time to study how we might make the best of what would be a profoundly disappointing outcome of the Scottish referendum, a victory for the Yes campaign. The pro-independence movement could easily move forward again, and on Thursday next week produce a majority in favour of leaving the United Kingdom. The major difficulty would be that a discredited political class would still command the Westminster Parliament.
- Andreas Whittam Smith, The Independent
Salmond has ludicrously compared the idea of Scottish independence with the end of apartheid in South Africa and made the future of the NHS the centrepiece of his message. If Scots vote No it will apparently be privatised which will come as news to Labour and indeed the Conservatives. As for oil he appears to pluck figures from the air regarding the remaining North Sea reserves. Yet with every passing day it looks as if once again his opponents have under estimated Alex Salmond
- Stephen Pollard, Daily Express
Religion has long been a potent force in Scottish politics — much more so than south of the border — and the shift of Catholic voters from backing the Union to backing statehood is another sign of Scotland's evolution as a non-partisan society ready to take its place in the world.
- Tom Devine, The Times
That was a strange tactic of the English party leaders, to try and convince Scotland not to vote for independence from England, by sending up all the English people they dislike the most, who have made them consider independence in the first place. If that doesn't work maybe Cameron will dig up Thatcher and send her to the middle of Glasgow as well.
- Mark Steel, The Independent
Nothing is going back in its box. Anxiety and excitement abound in equal measure, which is what happens when uncertainty takes over almost everything. Only one thing seems clear: politics as usual suddenly seems so lost as to look completely absurd.
- John Harris, The Guardian
There is a reason why the unionist case in Scotland has campaigned in prose rather than poetry. That is because there is no poetic case for the Union and, in truth, the loss of Scotland from Great Britain would matter too little to most of the people whose synthetic passion is now on display. The break-up of Britain would be a fiscal crisis, a political crisis, a constitutional crisis and an economic crisis. It would not, however, be an identity crisis.
- Philip Collins, The Times
Apart from the twelve referendum splashes of the past two days, the subject has made a front-page lead on only five occasions this year:Yes, it's been busy with Iraq, Gaza, Ukraine, the rise of Ukip, sex scandals, the hacking trial, Mr Cameron's holidays, floods and heatwaves. But one would still expect the potential break-up of the UK - or the liberation of Scotland, depending on your point of view - to be able to put up a better fight against the 30 house price splashes, the 25 on migrants and the 26 on Madeleine McCann. I stopped counting when I got to 60 soap opera and "reality TV" offerings.

These photos were taken some years ago. Just sharing the sentimental value of my collection. I am not interested in the 2015 pirates release and still prefer those released in 2009. The 2015 sets closely resemble those 2009 sets. One of the most disappointment over the 2015 pirates chess sets which the blue coat imperial soldiers came without their proper head gear….why Lego can screw up such details.
First up – combination collection of vintage and the not too old pirate series.
The Admiral with his daughter on board the flag ship, confident that some peace been restored with the captured of Captain Hook.
The port and outpost are populated with imperial soldiers.
Not Pirates but these Year 2003 – Emperor Ship are great looking.
Love those blue coats !!!!!
Hope you guys love the photos.
