Elizabeth Black: If I were a foreign spy, this is what I would do
By Elizabeth Black |
If I was a foreign spy charged with wrecking the United States, I would try get elected president. That accomplished, I would set about destroying Americans' faith in the CIA and the FBI, the two agencies most likely to figure out what I was doing. I would also malign and slander the mainstream media. Those pesky investigative journalists have a knack for digging up dirt, and might find out who I worked for.
I would immediately promote deeper divisions between Americans, so that the United States would focus only on its own problems, ignoring distant power grabs by other nations. I would push big tax cuts for corporations and the very wealthy, to deepen resentment between rich and not-rich Americans. I would vilify non-whites and non-Christians, to stoke racial and sectarian fears. I would stop defending — and further disenfranchise — racial minorities, to deepen bitterness and prod them towards violence.
After that, I would demolish faith in government's competency and cultivate cynicism, so that Americans would view their government as inept and thus oppose government intervention against other countries. I would appoint to power the unqualified or those who were overtly hostile to the agency they were running, who would work to dismantle their agency. I would direct agencies to protect corporations rather than the little guy, and normalize kleptocracy, where those in power line their pockets as a benefit of their office.
Then I would weaken U.S. economic prowess so that the country would become a second-rate power. I would destroy trade pacts, start trade wars, impose tariffs, subsidize the industries of yesterday and penalize the industries of tomorrow. I would balloon military spending as I cut taxes, to run up huge government debts, which would eventually devalue the dollar, stoke inflation and jeopardize popular social programs.
Next, I would isolate and alienate the United States from the rest of the world, so that U.S. influence would be ignored, and so the United States would be sidelined by rising powers like China and Russia. I would back out of treaties, vilify loyal allies, and feed fear of the foreigner. I would fawn over tyrants, tweet insults and act erratically to encourage other countries to disregard the United States. I would lie constantly, so that no country would trust America's word.
Finally, I would attack the foundations of U.S. democracy so that it might morph into something I could more easily control. I would discard compassion and the truth, ignore the rule of law, support the supremacy of whites over other races, and disrespect other races and religions. I would portray the media as enemies of the people and purveyors of fake news, so that I could create whatever truths I wanted. I would mock compromise and past presidents, and call my loyal opposition names. I would divorce the unum from the E pluribus, and pledge allegiance only to whatever made me great.
But if I was a foreign spy charged with wrecking the United States today, I could just sit back and enjoy the show, because someone else is already doing my work for me.

La princesse Elizabeth Bibesco, née Elisabeth Charlotte Lucy Asquith ( - ), est une poétesse et femme de lettres anglophone, épouse du prince Antoine Bibesco, ami de Proust et cousin germain de la comtesse Anna de Noailles. Elle publiait sous le nom d'Elizabeth Bibesco.

Biographie

La princesse Bibesco est la fille de Lord Asquith, Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni, et de sa seconde épouse, née Margot Tennant. Son enfance en tant que fille de Premier ministre l'expose aux yeux du public et l'habitue à l'adolescence à la vie dans la haute société. Elle poursuit ses études comme pensionnaire dans le fameux pensionnat de Marie Souvestre, Les Roches, près de Fontainebleau.

Elle épouse à l'âge de vingt-et-un ans le prince Antoine Bibesco, diplomate roumain en poste à Londres, qui en a quarante. Le mariage a lieu en présence de la reine Alexandra en l'église Sainte-Marguerite (Westminster) et constitue l'événement mondain de l'année en Angleterre.

La princesse donne naissance à une fille, Priscilla (1920-2004), dont Marcel Proust est le parrain. Entre 1921 et 1940, elle publie en anglais trois volumes de nouvelles, quatre romans, deux pièces de théâtre et un livre de poésies. Son mari écrit aussi. Elle habite à Paris, au 45, quai de Bourbon, à la pointe de l'île Saint-Louis, demeure des Bibesco, dont les murs sont recouverts de toiles de Vuillard. Marcel Proust, qui l'apprécie, trouve qu'elle a le visage d'une madone de fresque italienne, et une intelligence supérieure à celle de ses contemporains. Elle écrit une nécrologie émouvante de l'écrivain dans le New Statesman .

Ensuite, selon les affectations de son mari ambassadeur, la princesse habite à Washington, puis à Madrid, avec des séjours parisiens quai de Bourbon.

Elle a eu une liaison avec le mari de Katherine Mansfield, John Middleton Murry, ce qui la fait détester de la femme de lettres . Virginia Woolf ne l'apprécie guère non plus . Son style aristocratique et léger témoigne d'une écriture à la mode avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui n'est plus guère lue aujourd'hui.

Son dernier roman, The Romantic, publié en 1940, est dédié à Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera qu'elle avait connu à Madrid où son mari était ambassadeur (1927 - 1931). Elle resta liée à Rivera jusqu'à sa mort, exécuté par les républicains espagnols.

Suivant Antoine Bibesco en Roumanie où il a été rappelé en 1939, elle y meurt de pneumonie en 1945. Elle est enterrée dans la nécropole familiale des Bibesco, dans leur ancien palais de Mogosoaia, en-dehors de Bucarest. L'épitaphe , qui est un vers composé en 1927, et la dernière ligne de son œuvre poétique, se lit sur sa tombe.

Skull and Bones Pre-Orders Refunded, No Longer on Sale in PS Store
Skull and Bones pre-orders are being automatically refunded by the PS Store. In particular, those who have pre-ordered the $100 Deluxe Edition for Ubisoft's upcoming pirate game report that they have received a full refund from PlayStation today. This could be due to the fact that, at the time of this writing, Skull and Bones is no longer available for sale in the PS Store, likely because of the release date being pushed to the vague release window of 2023.
No email on the refund was reportedly sent to users
As noted by a user on the Skull and Bones Reddit as well as another user on Twitter, Skull and Bones pre-orders have been refunded on PlayStation platforms. Ubisoft Support responded to the Twitter thread by asking for additional information, though the user says that an email or a warning should have been sent first before a refund was authorized. The Reddit user corroborates this, stating that an email about the refund was never sent.
Checking the PS Store, Skull and Bones can not be purchased or pre-ordered at this time. Information on the Deluxe Edition of the game also isn't available through the storefront. The only options available on the game's page are to wishlist and follow the game.
These auto refunds are likely due to Skull and Bones being delayed from its March 9 release date, which is just one of many, many delays, to an unclear date of "early 2023-24" according to Axios. The release window for the game on the PS Store now reads just "2023."

A University is bringing back a scholarship named after Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan is one of India's best-known actors around the world,
He started out with small roles on TV, but in 1992, with the movie Deewana, he quickly moved into movies.
After that, there was no turning back because he became the most bankable star of his time.
Shah Rukh Khan is one of India's best-known actors around the world, and he just finished his 30th year in the Indian film industry. He started out with small roles on TV, but in 1992, with the movie Deewana, he quickly moved into movies. After that, there was no turning back because he became the most bankable star of his time. After taking a break, the actor has started making movies quickly, with three major ones coming out in 2023 alone.
During his time off, the actor went to Australia to see the campus of La Trobe University. A girl from India who wanted to go to college at La Trobe University was given a scholarship. They also praised Shah Rukh Khan's charity work through the Meer Foundation, which helps people who have been burned with acid. The scholarship was worth $225,000, and the university has just started giving out this special scholarship again. It is named after the Baadshah of Bollywood. The fact that an Australian university did this shows how much respect SRK has around the world and how well known his charitable work is. It should be noted that the foundation has helped more than 120 people who were hurt by acid attacks. It has also helped Amphan victims and given a lot of money when Covid-19 shocked the world.
On the occasion of SRK's 30th year in Bollywood, he showed the first look of his long-awaited movie, Pathaan. Pathaan's first look poster blew up social media, and the movie is already one of the most anticipated of 2023. After four long years, this movie is SRK's first big-screen role in four years. The actor will also be in Jawan and Dunki. This is the first time in 18 years that his fans will be able to see three of his movies in the same year.

Especially now that the Zika virus has officially arrived in the United States (via Florida), pregnant women across the country are worried about the possible effects that contracting this mosquito-born virus might have on their unborn children. Many health organizations like the Center for Disease Control (CDC) have concluded that the Zika virus is responsible for microcephaly (a condition where a baby is born with a smaller than normal head and can have long-term cognitive problems because of it). However, a new study raises some questions about these conclusions.
The New Study: does Zika Really Cause Microcephaly?
This new study was undertaken by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) and recently published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. In it, researchers did a large study of 12,000 pregnant Columbian women who showed signs and symptoms of the Zika virus. What is interesting about this study, though, it that none of these 12,000 women gave birth to babies with microcephaly.
At this time, there were four cases of microcephaly reported, but this would considered to be at the normal rate of this birth defect, which occurs in approximately 2 out of every 10,000 births even in unaffected populations.
The researchers estimate that, throughout Columbia, there are or have been around 60,000 pregnancies affected by the Zika virus, so the absence of microcephaly births raised the inevitable question: if the Zika virus is not causes microcephaly, then what is?
So if the Zika virus is not causing these birth defects, what is?
The NECSI believes that the real culprit might well be a pesticide called pyriproxyfen, which, ironically, is widely used in Brazil to help control the mosquito population. The chemical is used in areas which have been particularly affected by microcephaly — and it has been used in the public water supplies at unprecedented levels.
Pyriproxyfen works to control the mosquito population by interfering with the development of larvae — and might well interfere with the development of human babies.
Its chemical structure is similar to a form of vitamin A known as a retinoid. The use of retinoids with women during pregnancy has been linked with a variety of serious birth defects, including microcephaly.
Pyriproxyfen has been used in Brazil in the public water supply at unprecedented levels — and this usage happened just before the outbreak of microcephaly in this country.
The fact that other countries who have suffered from Zika virus outbreaks have not suffered from large numbers of microcephaly is suspicious.
This study should be looked at in context in order to really appreciate its importance. To begin with, the manufacturer of pyriproxyfen has denied any link between its pesticide and birth defects. However, this has been belied by a neurodevelopmental psychologist from the Harvard School of Public Health whose research found a link between this chemical and smaller skull size in laboratory animals.
In the meantime, the use of this pesticide remains widespread in Brazil despite worries that it might be causing these defects in unborn children. The good news is that some countries are exploring alternatives to mosquito control, that does not harm the human population in any way. This includes the use of larvae-eating fish and mosquito traps.
The long and short of it is that the Zika virus, while certainly a threat to public health, may not be the culprit behind the outbreak of microcephaly — and alternatives to the use of pyriproxyfen should be investigated in order to reduce the potential health risk to pregnant women and their developing babies.

Moderator for 6.5-284...............what do you use?
Hi, I now have a 6.5-284 barrel for my Blaser rifle, the Mae mod on it is so much more noisy than the T8 on my .3006 could anyone suggest a replacement that's as good as a T8?
There seems to so many out there but how do I know what's going to work!
Is it 15x1 spig ?
I have used an Atec on mine and it works very well I also use it on my 30-06 and it does the same job.
It's not a 6.5-284, but on a .260AI I use a Jet-Z compact. I also use this on a .308 and .300, it works equally well on all the rifles.
I've shot using the three of them and to my mind they are as good as moderators get.


The ladies from our Thursday night couples group decided to workout at Elorde Gym to do HIIT. I had only heard of High Intensity Interval Training from friends but avoided it because it sounded tough. Plyometrics is not fun to me and neither is weight training (which are both part of the entire session). But since the plan was to do this as a group, I decided to try it to enjoy bonding with friends.
The HIIT workout was definitely challenging but I felt great afterwards. A little dizzy and dehydrated from the heat but the endorphins were surging through my body which has been really sluggish as of late. I have been trying to figure out why I wake up tired. I think it is a combination of factors — like I need to be more intentional about eating probiotics and more vegetables. Even though I don't eat a lot of junk food, I think my body is fighting against the gravity of age.
Today's workout felt like I jump started a rusty old engine that needed to become useful again. Plus, being with girl friends made it fun.
As moms we need to stay fit or get fit, whichever is our chicken or egg. It's easy to hide behind our activities and busy-ness and become complacent about our physical fitness level. After all, we have good and valid excuses — so many needs around us that consume our time. But this is exactly why we need to be in te best shape of our lives, as soon as we can, after giving birth. People are depending on us, in particular, the little adorable people we call our children. Plus, the longer we wait, the harder it is to start doing something about the pounds and the increasing fat percentage.
On the one hand, eating properly and getting enough sleep makes a big difference, but I also have to be proactive about building tone and burning fat, especially at my age. When I was younger, I could breastfeed, cut down on calories, do a little bit of exercising and then presto! My body would come back and shed its maternal appearance. My belly would melt away.
After my fifth, oh me, oh my, the body of my youth has gone bye-bye. So I am considering this HIIT-ness for my fitness. It's time, baby, it's time! No more excuses! The only way to battle the entropy is to push myself harder. Whether it is HIIT or something as extreme, I have to put in a whole lot of effort to get the results I want. I don't want to but I HAVE TO if I intend to give my 110% to being a wife, mom, and homeschooler.
The look of victory and total fatigue! We survived!
I guess it's high time to start exercising. Argh! I have been putting this off for months now.. Ok, I'm ready! Thanks for the inspiration!

Catacombs - La prigione del diavolo (Catacombs) è un film del 1988 diretto da David Schmoeller.

Pellicola horror girata sulla scia del successo de L'esorcista, che se ne distacca dallo stile nello scarso utilizzo di scene troppo esplicite puntando molto sull'atmosfera. Il regista Schmoeller è stato a lungo uno stretto collaboratore del regista di horror movie a basso costo Charles Band.

Trama
Nel XVI secolo un monaco viene posseduto da una entità diabolica e per questo motivo viene seppellito vivo nelle segrete dell'abbazia. Tuttavia egli getta sui suoi confratelli una maledizione che rimarrà appesa su tutti i loro discendenti. Quattrocento anni dopo, l'attuale abate Fratello Marinus deve fronteggiare una nuova minaccia che si cela negli scavi fatti nelle catacombe da una studiosa statunitense che scopre la cella sigillata del prigioniero indemoniato. Non appena il sigillo viene rotto la creatura diabolica si scatena abbattendosi contro i poveri monaci. Particolarmente raccapricciante la scena in cui, in un'angusta cappella, un monaco intento a far merenda con uno snack assiste alla discesa dal crocifisso di un Cristo che funge da corpo ospite del Maligno.

In an unusual unanimous decision, the US Supreme Court Wednesday ruled that police in almost all cases must obtain a search warrant before searching cell phones or other mobile devices. The ruling brings the huge amounts of data Americans store on cellphones, smartphones, and other mobile devices under the umbrella of constitutional privacy protections.
The decision came in two cases, one involving a drug bust and the other a weapons charge. The two cases were consolidated in the court's opinion in Riley v. California.
In ruling in favor of Americans' privacy, the high court rejected law enforcement arguments that cell phone searches did not require a warrant under an exception that allows police to search the contents of arrested people's pockets to ensure that they are not armed or do not destroy evidence. While that may be convenient for law enforcement, the court held, constitutional rights trump convenience.
The court was clearly aware that modern hand-held devices contain both the quality and quantity of information deserving protection as much as that afforded to people's personal property and effects in their homes.
"Modern cellphones aren't a technological convenience," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the unanimous opinion "With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans 'the privacies of life,'" he wrote.
As for law enforcement concerns that the court's ruling would prove an obstacle to some police investigations, Roberts had a pithy retort: "Privacy comes at a cost," he wrote.
And if police have reason to believe such devices may contain relevant evidence, they have recourse, Roberts wrote.
"Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cellphone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple—get a warrant."
Of course, that means police must convince a magistrate they have probable cause to seek a search warrant.
"By recognizing that the digital revolution has transformed our expectations of privacy, today's decision is itself revolutionary and will help to protect the privacy rights of all Americans," said ACLU legal director Steven R. Shapiro in a Wednesday statement. "We have entered a new world but, as the court today recognized, our old values still apply and limit the government's ability to rummage through the intimate details of our private lives."

Peters honored for 100% pro-environment voting record
Published: Monday, September 21, 2020 03:18 PM
CHICAGO – The Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) released its first ever Lifetime Environmental Scorecard Monday, chronicling the average score of all votes cast on bills affecting the environment by each sitting legislator over the course of their entire legislative career. Senator Robert Peters (D-Chicago) has been honored with a perfect voting record.
"I will always support legislation that leads to a greener, more sustainable future for our communities, state, country and planet, and it;s an honor to be recognized by the Illinois Environmental Council for my dedication to this cause," said Peters. "Climate change continues to pose an existential threat, and I vow to continue fighting alongside the IEC until the climate change crisis has been dealt with, no matter how long that may take."
Legislators in their first term were only scored on their votes in 2019, the first and only year they were able to vote on bills impacting the environment due to the disruption of the 2020 regular legislative session by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Senator Peters earned a 100% for their voting record on bills impacting the environment, using their power as a state legislator to protect and defend the people and environment in the district they represent," said IEC Executive Director Jen Walling. "Senator Peters is an emerging environmental champion in the General Assembly, and the Illinois Environmental Council applauds their work protecting our environment in Illinois."
A total of 64 state legislators received recognition for scoring 90% or higher over the course of their legislative careers, and 21 legislators scored a perfect 100% in their first year of recorded votes. IEC releases its scorecard in late summer of each year, and the 2020 version can be found here.

The most prominent…
The most prominent human rights violations in Syria.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights issued its special monthly report that monitors the situation of human rights in Syria, in which it reviewed the outcome of the most prominent human rights violations by the actors of the conflict in Syria in January 2020, indicating the continuation of displacement movements in northwestern Syria under humanitarian conditions. The worst since the beginning of the popular uprising.
The 27-page report reviewed the outcome of the most prominent violations documented in January from the number of civilian victims killed by parties to the conflict, as well as the number of arrests and enforced disappearances, and the report highlights indiscriminate attacks and the use of illegal weapons (ammunition) Cluster, chemical weapons, barrel bombs, incendiary weapons) and civilian assaults.
The report included a distribution of the outcome of these violations according to the actors, indicating that in the event of joint attacks, and when the task force was unable to assign responsibility for specific attacks to a specific destination, as happened in air strikes carried out by Syrian or Russian warplanes, or Syrian-Iranian attacks or forces Democratic Syria and the forces of the international coalition, it is indicated in this case that this attack is a joint responsibility of a coalition until one of the two parties is responsible for the attack,Or, it is proven that the attack was actually a joint one by coordinating the two sides together. In the event that it is not possible to assign the violation to one of the two conflicting parties due to the proximity of the area to the clashes or the use of similar weapons or other reasons, the incident will be classified among other parties, until sufficient evidence has been reached to attribute the violation to one of the two parties.
The report relied on continuous monitoring of incidents and news and on a wide network of relationships with dozens of diverse sources, in addition to analyzing a large number of pictures and video clips.
In January, the report recorded the killing of 286 civilians, including 73 children and 30 women, the largest proportion of whom were at the hands of the Syrian-Russian alliance forces, among the victims were 1 medical personnel and 3 women. Civil defense cadres. The report also documents the killing of 7 people who died as a result of torture. And at least 11 massacres.
The report documented in Kano II at least 161 cases of arbitrary detention, including 2 children and 1 woman at the hands of the main actors in the conflict in Syria, the largest percentage of which was at the hands of the Syrian regime forces in the governorates of Damascus countryside and then Deir al-Zour.
According to the report, last month, there were at least 111 incidents of attacks against vital civilian centers, 105 of which were at the hands of the Syrian-Russian alliance forces, most of them in Idlib Governorate. Among these attacks were 14 accidents on schools, 3 on medical facilities, and 33 on places of worship.
According to the report, in January the Syrian regime forces carried out at least 3 attacks in which cluster munitions were used, all in Idlib governorate. These attacks killed 9 civilians, including 6 children and 2 women, and wounded 22 people.
The report added that the Syrian regime's helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft threw at least 353 barrel bombs, targeting the governorates of Idlib, Aleppo, and Hama, and killed 5 civilians, including 1 child, 2 women, and 1 civil defense cadre, and at least 21 assault incidents On vital civilian centers. Pointing to the Syrian regime using explosive barrels in Aleppo Governorate this month for the first time since February 2018.
The report stated that the evidence it collected indicates that the attacks were directed against civilians and civilian objects, and the Syrian-Russian alliance forces committed various crimes from extrajudicial killings to detention, torture and enforced disappearance, and their attacks and indiscriminate shelling destroyed the installations and buildings, and there are reasonable reasons It led to the belief that the war crime of attacking civilians was committed in many cases.
The report confirmed that the Syrian government violated international humanitarian law and customary law, and the decisions of the UN Security Council, in particular Resolution No. 2139, Resolution No. 2042 regarding the release of detainees, and Resolution No. 2254, all of this without any accountability.
The report did not record the warning of the Syrian or Russian regime forces before any of the attacks, according to the requirements of international humanitarian law, and this has never happened since the beginning of the popular movement, and clearly demonstrates a total disregard for the lives of civilians in Syria.
(C)LibyanExpress
According to the report, extremist Islamic organizations have committed extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and torture. The report added that the indiscriminate and indiscriminate shelling carried out by NATO forces, "the international coalition forces, and the Syrian Democratic Forces with Kurdish leadership," is a clear violation of international humanitarian law, and that indiscriminate killings amount to war crimes.
The report called on the Security Council to take additional measures after the issuance of Resolution No. 2254, and stressed the need to refer the Syrian file to the International Criminal Court and hold all those involved, including the Russian regime, to account after it was proven involved in committing war crimes.
The report recommended that the Security Council pass a resolution to ban the use of cluster munitions in Syria along the lines of the ban on the use of chemical weapons and include points on how to remove the remnants of these dangerous weapons.
It also called on all specialized United Nations agencies to make more efforts in terms of humanitarian food and medical assistance in areas where the fighting stopped, and in camps for internally displaced persons and the follow-up of countries, which pledged the necessary contributions.
The report called for the application of the principle of the responsibility to protect (R2P), especially after political steps have been exhausted across all agreements and statements of cessation of hostilities and Astana agreements, stressing the need to resort to Chapter VII and the application of the principle of responsibility to protect, which was endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly.
The report recommended both the Independent International Investigation Commission (COI) and the Independent International Impartial Mechanism (IIIM) to open investigations into the incidents contained therein and previous reports, and affirmed the willingness of the Syrian Network for Human Rights to cooperate and provide more evidence and details.
The report called on the UN envoy to Syria to condemn the perpetrators of crimes, massacres and the main culprits in destroying the de-escalation agreements and to restore the peace process in its normal form after Russia's attempts to distort it and present the constitutional committee in the transitional ruling body.
The report stressed the necessity of the Russian regime to open investigations into the incidents mentioned therein, inform the Syrian society of its results, and hold those involved accountable, and demanded that the Russian regime, as a guarantor party in the Astana talks, stop stopping the failure of escalation agreements, achieve a breakthrough in the issue of detainees, and reveal the fate of the enforced disappearance in the system Syrian and stop using cluster munitions and incendiary weapons.
The report also stressed the need for the Syrian regime to stop indiscriminate shelling, target residential areas, hospitals, schools, markets, the use of forbidden ammunition, and barrel bombs, stop the torture operations that caused the death of thousands of Syrian citizens in detention centers, and reveal the fate of nearly 83,000 Syrian citizens arrested by the security services and hidden their fate To date and comply with Security Council resolutions and customary humanitarian law.
The report recommended that the international coalition forces explicitly recognize that some of the bombing operations left innocent civilians dead and demanded that they open serious investigations, compensate the victims and those affected, and apologize to them. It also stressed that the countries that support the SDF should put pressure on them to stop their excesses in all the areas and towns they control, And stopping all forms of support with weapons and others, unless the Syrian Democratic Forces stop all their violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.
It recommended armed opposition factions to ensure the protection of civilians in all areas and to open investigations into attacks that caused civilian casualties, the need to distinguish between military targets and civilian objects and to refrain from any indiscriminate attacks.
Finally, the report stressed the need for humanitarian organizations to put in place urgent implementation plans with the aim of securing decent shelters for internally displaced persons.

BBC Asian Network DJ Tommy Sandhu has released a video statement in which he denies any allegations against him of racist, homophobic and sexist remarks.
Whilst the BBC has not confirmed it, Sandhu was reportedly fired from his role as host of BBC Asian Network Breakfast Show after allegedly being part of a WhatsApp group, alongside three others, in which the derogatory comments about colleagues were made.
The BBC said it takes allegations of inappropriate behaviour extremely seriously.
Reportedly, amongst several allegations, the group involved sharing sexist messages about radio producer Amy Elizabeth Childs, who had aspirations of becoming a presenter. There were also reports that the men spoke about their refusal to play music by Pakistanis, referring to them as 'pakis'.
Sources also claimed that the men in the group made homophobic comments, calling one colleague a 'batty boy'.
Though the WhatsApp application is encrypted meaning messages stay within chats and groups, the men's messages were accidentally linked to a BBC laptop where they were found by assistant producer Amanpreet Kaur, about whom the men had also allegedly made sexist comments.
Producer Kejal Kamani was sacked last month. Fellow producer, Asheesh Sharma has been given a final warning. Sandhu himself has initially been suspended.
Sandhu is now seeking legal advice as the BBC prepares for an unfair dismissal case.
"I'm not racist, I'm not a homophobic and I'm not lewd towards women," said the 40-year-old in the video, captioned "after 7 weeks of having to stay silent … you can hear it from me directly".
"Anyone who knows me and knows my show, you'll know that we celebrate people. We bring everyone together and we have a good time.
"I'm sorry that I won't be presenting that show [BBC Asian Network Breakfast] anymore and I'm baffled as to why I've been asked to not present it," he continued, before thanking those who supported him.
The BBC has not yet released a statement on the issue nor confirm a replacement for the position on the show. Up until now, presenters Yasser and Harps Kaur have been filling in.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has said a group of Chinese state-sponsored threat actors compromised the computers of U.S. government agencies, firms and other organizations worldwide to steal large volumes of confidential business data and intellectual property.
Wray made the remarks during a recent press conference announcing the indictment of two members of the APT 10 cyber hacking group – Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong – linked to the Chinese state security ministry.
He mentioned APT 10's involvement in the theft of personally identifiable data from over 100K service personnel of the U.S. Navy and cyber attacks against health care, agriculture, oil and gas and biotechnology firms.
Wray also cited the bureau's collaboration with colleagues at the departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Defense as well as the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to conduct an investigation into the group.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen have called on China to stick to its 2015 commitment to refrain from carrying out cyber-based IP theft that threatens the national security and economic competitiveness of other countries.
"We will continue to hold malicious actors accountable for their behavior, and today the United States is taking several actions to demonstrate our resolve," Pompeo and Nielsen said in a joint statement released Thursday.

Roles and Duties for Military Working Dogs
Over the centuries dogs have had many roles with the military, but in modern times specific duties have been defined where dogs can give the best service. While in the past they have done everything from catch rats to draw fire to expose enemy positions, today dogs are given humane tasks where their special skills do the most good.
On this page, the most common duties for Military Working Dogs are defined.
Sentry Dogs
These dogs worked on a short leash and were taught to give warning by growling, alerting or barking. They were especially valuable for working in the dark when attack from cover or the rear was most likely. The sentry dog was taught to accompany a military or civilian guard on patrol and give him warning of the approach or presence of strangers within the protected area.
Sentry dogs are trained to warn their handlers of the approach or presence of strange persons and are utilized for garding supply dumps, airports, war plants, and other vital installations. Their use has proved them to be valuable in any place where security against intruders must be maintained.
Of the 10,425 dogs trained in WW II, around 9,300 were used for sentry duty. Sentry dogs were issued to hundreds of military organizations such as coastal fortifications, harbor defenses, arsenals, ammunition dumps, airfields, depots and industrial plants. The largest group of sentry dogs (3,174) were trained in 1943 and issued to the Coast Guard for beach patrols guarding against enemy submarine activities.
Scout or Patrol Dogs
In addition to the skills for sentry dogs, scout or patrol dogs were trained to work in silence to aid in the detection of snipers, ambushes and other enemy forces within a particular locality. Only dogs with superior intelligence and a quiet disposition were selected for scout dog training. The scout dog and his Quartermaster handler normally walked point on combat patrols, well in front of the Infantry patrol.
Scout dogs could detect the presence of the enemy at distances up to 1,000 yards, long before men became aware of them. When a scout dog alerted to the enemy, the dog would stiffen its body, raise its hackles, prick its ears and hold its tail rigid. The presence of the dogs with patrols greatly lessened the danger of ambush and tended to boost morale.
Messenger Dogs
The most desired quality in these dogs was loyalty, since the dogs must be motivated by the desire to work with two handlers. They learned to travel silently and take advantage of natural cover when moving between the two handlers.
Mine Dogs
These dogs, also called the "M-Dog" or mine detection dog, were trained to find trip wires, booby traps, metallic and nonmetallic mines. Units were sent to North Africa in World War II. However, the dogs had problems detecting mines under combat conditions.
Casualty Dogs
Casualty Dogs, like search and rescure dogs, are trained to search for and report casualties lying in obscure places, casualties that are difficult for collecting parties to locate. In cases of severe shock or hemorrhage, minutes saved in locating such casualties often mean the difference between life and death.
Tunnel Dogs
In Vietnam there was a specialized requirement for tunnel dogs to detect amd explore the tunnels exploited by the Viet Cong. The tunnel dwellers feared the dogs and used tactics to confuse the dogs. For example they washed with GI soap and covered air vents with shirts taken from Americans so the dogs' sense of smell would not be alerted.
Explosives Detection
In the War on Terrorism a common threat is explosives hidden on a person, in a vehicle, or roadside location. Explosives Detection dogs are trained to alert on the scent of chemicals used in explosives. With their superior sense of smell it is very difficult to package explosives in a way a dog cannot detect. Explosives dogs are deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and in many other CONUS and OCONUS locations for this purpose.

University funding
Labour has started a welcome debate on higher education funding

You are right to highlight how our universities are under threat from Brexit, creeping privatisation and the government's dogged determination to reduce net migration (Editorial, 30 May).
Higher education makes an invaluable contribution to our economy and society, and has a crucial role to play in developing the highly skilled workforce upon which future growth depends.
By its very nature, higher education is international, and the exchange of knowledge across borders is critical to its success. If we are to preserve our global reputation for excellence, our institutions must be unencumbered when it comes to attracting and retaining overseas staff and students.
The government's refusal to remove international students from the net migration target and guarantee the rights of EU staff and students after Brexit is therefore frustratingly counterproductive. It sends a deeply damaging message that international talent is not welcome in our universities.
The damage caused by limiting the recruitment of international students is further compounded by recent legislation paving the way for unscrupulous for-profit providers to crowd out established institutions.
Theresa May is the self-styled strong and stable candidate, but her stance on these issues is creating a huge level of insecurity in the higher education sector.
In its manifesto, Labour has started a welcome debate about alternative ways to fund education that would provide much greater funding stability to institutions, ensure that business pays its fair share for a skilled workforce, and wouldn't leave students facing a lifetime of debt.
Providing the right conditions for our universities to flourish must be a top priority.
Sally Hunt
General secretary, University and College Union
Your leader is misleading in saying that graduates on lower incomes are exempt from repaying their loans. While it is true that this applies to those earning less than £21,000, a nurse or teacher on, say, £30,000 – hardly "high earners" – will never repay their loans but incur a 9% tax surcharge throughout their careers, which will just about cover the interest charges, for the privilege of being educated to degree level. In the meantime they will carry the psychological and practical burden of an unpaid debt of around £40,000.
Even for high earners who will eventually pay off their debt there are unfairnesses. Very high earners will pay off their debt more quickly than those earning less, who will therefore have to pay more over their lifetime. (The rich, of course, will simply pay off their debt with a lump sum and pay no interest.) So the policy is severely regressive. If it is true that graduates earn more then they will pay more income tax anyway, and by that means contribute to the cost of their education through an efficient method of tax collection. The arguments for abolishing tuition fees are strong, but if the argument is lost then a compromise might be to make the loans interest-free.
Professor Emeritus Norman Gowar
Labour's £11bn bribe to teenagers and their parents is just the latest example of the majority poor subsidising the better-off minority. Apprentices, FE students and those returning to education are far more deserving of state aid. Where action is needed is in cutting the usurious rates of interest charged, to just a few points above minimum lending rate.
As academic and related staff across 80 UK higher and further education institutions, we are appalled at the proposed staffing cuts at the University of Manchester (Report, 13 May) including but not limited to the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, and Alliance Manchester Business School. The proposals mean that 171 members of staff are set to be axed despite annual income from tuition fees exceeding £423m (2015-16). The way in which these cuts are being made and the treatment of these committed teachers and respected scholars is abhorrent.
Unfortunately these plans are resonant of a higher education system now rooted in the market and underpinned by rampant managerialism that has little interest in critical public and inclusive education and a general disregard for the views or experience of academic staff. At the same time as cutting 171 jobs, the university plans to create 100-plus posts for early-career academics. In our experience these positions are unlikely to offer security in contractual terms or opportunities to pursue scholarship.
In the context of Manchester University's plans and our own current experience in universities, the necessity for a government committed to an alternative model of higher, further and adult education which will abandon a system based upon crude market competition and league tables and abolish student fees and debts has never been more urgent.
Prof Paul Brook University of Leicester, Prof Sian Moore University of Greenwich, Prof Phil Taylor University of Strathclyde, Prof Catherine Pope University of Southampton, Prof John Holmwood University of Nottingham, Prof Shirin Rai University of Warwick, Prof Richard Hyman LSE and 211 others
You highlight shocking findings by the IFS on education spending (Schools will face real-terms cuts for years under the Tories, thinktanks say, 26 May). Conservative plans will see a 3% reduction, while Labour pledges a 6% rise over the next parliament.
As a parent with a keen interest in education spending over the coming years, I find this difference staggering. We must infer that the Conservative party is both shameless and fearless in its commitment to ongoing austerity at the expense of our children.
Following the heartbreaking terrorist attack in Manchester, it is imperative that adequate resources are in place to nurture our young people growing up in such challenging times. So why are the Tories ignoring the pivotal role that our education system has in this struggle to build a tolerant society where hatred is dealt with at the earliest opportunity before it is too late? Time for another U-turn, Mrs May.

This paper discusses the characteristics of the nonlinearly amplified spread–spectrum (SS) signals. We evaluate the symbol error–rate performance with the conventional receiver, changing the length of the spreading sequence. In addition, we also propose the receiver with MLSE. The configuration of the MLSE for the nonlinearly amplified signals is generally complicated; however we show that the complexity of the MLSE receiver can be reduced, as the number of required reference sequences in the receiver for an SS signal is small. As the result, it is shown that the error rate performance of the nonlinearly amplified SS signal can be improved by this proposed receiver and that the degradation caused by the nonlinear amplification can be made negligibly small with a sufficiently long spreading sequence.

It was Roosey versus Bishop, and wouldn't you know it, the girls had themselves a CIF game. It was a real turn out. Any and all Basketball games this were $10 General, and $5 with a student ID, but believe me, it was worth the price.
Today there will be a boys CIF Basketball game, Roosey versus JSerra at 7 p.m. Let's hope the boys rock the house just like or girls yesterday at Bishop.
This Saturday there will also be a Wrestling CIF Individual match, goodluck to our Mighty Mustang wrestling team. Next Wednesday there will be a Girls CIF 1st round play off versus Pacifica at 3 p.m.
This week's sports highlight goes to our Mustang girls Basketball team. I tell you it was quite a turn out, the audience was filled with cheer and overall, it was a thrilling experience.
There were teachers, students, and our very own principal, Dr Goins. Our Song team was also there to fully support and motivate our mustangs.
The fundamental skills of passing, dribbling, defense, and rebounding are a huge factor to getting a high percentage shot, but you must still be able to make the shot. Our girls Basketball team performed all with integrity and endurance displaying great sportsmanship while keeping a positive mental attitude throughout all four periods of the game. With each period, the girls played amazing offense and defense displaying their defense more so in the fourth period where the girls lead Bishop 80 to 61 leading into the finals.
Nolan Amkhong, a junior on campus had to say, "I knew right after the 1st period that the girls had already won it. There were a lot more people at the game than I thought there would be too. The following periods, the girls had an amazing offense and defense which I think is what really won it for them, that and the girl's teamwork.
Great article, but there is no mention of our Track & Field Sports and upcoming events. I would like to see them mentioned.


Summer can be a killer. Every year people die from too much sun or heat. A simple sunburn can escalate into heatstroke in a matter of hours. Heatstroke can be fatal. Keep summer fun by avoiding too much sun.
Sunburn can turn deadly in less than 24 hours. Detecting and treating sunburn, sun poisoning, and heat cramps is important. However, recognizing heat exhaustion and heatstroke is critically important. Early detection and prompt intervention can save a life.
Sunburn is a first-degree burn that causes redness, swelling, and pain. Fair-skinned people can burn in less than 15 minutes. Sun damage can cause wrinkles, premature aging, and darkening of age spots. Sunburn can cause cell damage that later leads to skin cancer.
Usually, sunburn is more of a pain than a true medical problem. When sunburn sizzles, no treatment seems fast enough or effective enough. However, moist and cool compresses, topical treatments, and NSAIDs such as Motrin® are still commonly recommended treatments.
Sun poisoning is just another name for severe sunburn. While this is not quite as serious as it sounds, sun poisoning needs to be taken seriously. It can cause intense burning, blisters, fever, chills, dizziness, nausea, or rapid pulse. Avoid self-treatment when sunburn is severe. See a doctor to prevent complications such as dehydration and infection.
Belly or muscle cramps can occur during strenuous activities in sweltering temperatures. Heat cramps sound harmless but they actually indicate a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. If the usual treatments of drinking juices, replacing electrolytes with sports drinks, cooling down, and rest don't relieve the problem promptly – seek medical attention. Many people (especially athletes) ignore these symptoms… don't. Left untreated, heat cramps escalate into a more serious problem – heat exhaustion.
Heat exhaustion can cause profuse sweating, rapid breathing, rapid pulse, weakness, or dizziness. If these symptoms occur, call 911 immediately. Left untreated, a person with heat exhaustion can deteriorate rapidly. While awaiting an ambulance, keep the person cool and offer them decaffeinated and non-alcoholic drinks. Heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke in a matter of minutes.
Every summer people die (unnecessarily) from heatstroke. People usually have the warning signs of heat cramps and heat exhaustion before reaching the deadly stage of heatstroke. So, getting help at the heat cramp and heat exhaustion stages can prevent a heatstroke. Remember, heatstroke can be fatal, so know the symptoms and act fast.
One distinguishing symptom of heatstroke is that the skin is usually dry. A person with heatstroke may become confused or faint. The pulse may be slow or fast. And the body temperature can go very high, very fast. Call 911 immediately! While waiting for the ambulance, have the person lie down in a cool place. Offer them a cool, decaffeinated, non- alcoholic drink. Heat stroke can cause brain damage, organ failure, coma, or death.
The smartest thing to do is prevent sunburn in the first place. Learn to use the UV index. To find a rating, type NOAA into a search engine. Then type UV index. Look up any location.
Here are five easy steps to preventing sunburn.
Apply sunscreen SPF # 15-30 (or higher) to all exposed skin.
Always apply it 15-30 minutes before going outside.
Avoid too much sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Here's the sunburn protection tip that most people forget...re-apply sunscreen at least every two hours.
Now go outside and have some fum in the sun!

MIX: SEPTEMBRE 2008
10 September, 2008, 655 pm
Filed under: Barrels of Fun, Mixtapes, Music, Nouvelle Musique | Tags: Ben Gibbard, Brazilian Girls, Bright Eyes, Calexico, Caribou, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Fujiya & Miyagi, I Blame Coco, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Maximo Park, Melpo Mene, MGMT, Mixtapes, mp3, music, Mystery Jets, Of Montreal, Sigur Rós, Soko, The XYZ Affair, Van She
Derek has a CD player in his car. He kept spinning the same CD every time he drove me places. He told me that these were the songs that were constantly stuck in his head.
Since it was the same CD over and over again, I volunteered to make him a new CD with the songs that are constantly stuck in my head. He thought that was a good idea because his sister allegedly makes him listen to very bad music sometimes.
This CD was only semi-hard work because I had to hunt down the MP3s online via the Hype Machine and then cut two at the end because a CD only holds 80 minutes. The rest of the work was easy peasy, just picking out songs that I can't get enough of lately.
The songs are in no particular order because it's just a bunch of songs that blitzkrieg my brain in no particular order with no warning. Because of this random order, I am an advocate of putting this mix on shuffle whenever you want.
And here's my reasoning for each track in no particular order (main reasoning = catchy). There are also download links over yonder.
Virgin Suicides [ysi] | Van She
Okay, I've already written about how awesome this song is, but I honestly don't see how anyone could dislike it. It's upbeat and happy. Think "Look Up" by Stars, except without all the encouraging parts.
Two Silver Trees [ysi] | Calexico
"Two Silver Trees" is what "Young Bride" by Midlake was to me about a year ago. I take this song seriously.
Kids [ysi] | MGMT
The first time I heard "Kids," I wasn't paying attention. And then I ended up downloading it, and for the first two weeks of school, it was my silly anthem for walking around campus. I felt so MGMT.
Little Monsters [ysi] | Charlotte Gainsbourg
I love bells and I love her whispery Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg-inherited voice. This song is small furry mystical creatures on the beach on a fall night night during a meteor shower. Charlotte Gainsbourg could make death by bubonic plague sound good.
Af607105 [ysi] | Charlotte Gainsbourg
What I also love about Charlotte Gainsbourg is that most of her songs are night songs with an accent, for when you're warm and comfortable and relaxed and in some kind of indescribable state of bliss. Maybe naked.
Irene [ysi] | Caribou
I think I picked this one up from AllThingsGo once, but disregarded it for the most part. However, upon moving into college, I discovered that I had a snoring roommate. My methods of coping during the wee hours of the morning included turning the AC on high, turning on the TV, making banging noises and pretending I couldn't help it, using earplugs, and listening to my iPod. During one of the iPod nights, I was able to sleep, but was roused not by loud, unsettling music like the Fall of Troy, but in fact by some of the most peaceful and beautiful music I had ever heard. In my heavy-lidded, half-conscious state, I noted that the song was "Irene" by Caribou. It's been constantly replaying since.
St. Petersburg [ysi] | Brazilian Girls
I lurk the Hype Machine frequently and actually found this track in the "Popular" section. I downloaded "L'Interprete" because it looked like a French name. "St. Petersburg" was a tagalong, but I actually like it more because while it's very chill and catchy, it also soars at some parts and comes down from those orgasms appropriately.
Evening Life [ysi] | The XYZ Affair
While this is a summer song, um, hello? Most of September is still summer. We just don't consider it summer because it's a transitional month, and we have school and work again. Well, work for teachers. It's the same as June being spring, December being fall, and March being Winter. I know they're out of order. Anyway, I just like the melody, I think, and the singer's fairly high voice.
Id Engager [ysi] | of Montreal
We all know that of Montreal is crazy fun. I just think this a subtle improvement on their old stuff. Less senselessness, but still enough. Still high-quality, same genre, same Kevin Barnes, same play on words. Of Montreal is still creepy sex.
Parisian Skies [ysi] | Maximo Park
This one's an Ali. You can always tell Alis because they're British. Much like "I Adore You" by Melpo Mene "Parisian Skies" floats like clouds. But they're more aggressive, passionate clouds. I have enjoyed this track all summer at the beach, in the car, in bed, walking. It sounds like I'm a sex addict. Oh, also, I'm a francophile, so of course I love an amazing indie rock song called Parisian Skies. Come on, guys.
Gold Mine Gutted [ysi] | Bright Eyes
I used to listen to the Metronomy remix nonstop, but I've begun to reappreciate the glory of the original now. It's a lot sadder. In many ways, I think that's a plus. It more accurately represents Bright Eyes. There's something so chill and spacelike about the original. It feels like floating.
Two Doors Down [ysi]| Mystery Jets
Yet another fabulous contribution from Ali. While I initially disliked the eighties touches, now I know I'm in love. I guess it depends on how you listen.
Gobbledigook [ysi] | Sigur Rós
While a lot of Sigur Rós' other material is often floaty and dragged out, Gobbledigook is a definite rock piece, all business, no nonsense. But the percussion makes me want to skip around gleefully.
I'll Kill Her [ysi] | Soko
She said, "Please can you make some beautiful baybeeez?!"
Little angry Frenchwoman who has her entire life planned out. I definitely don't mean any harm to blondes, ever, by putting this song up here. "All she's got is blondeness, not even tenderness!" If I had the space or the patience, I'd put all the lyrics here.
I Blame Coco [ysi] | I Blame Coco
I am a fan of delicate, pretty voices, which is one of my problems with a lot of French music. A lot of them have deep, raspy voices. Not a fan. Coco's not French, but she is Sting's daughter and she is my age, and she does have a deep voice. But her song's fun, and her voice is a classy addition to this very low-key chanson.
Dishwasher [ysi] | Fujiya & Miyagi
My main obsession with this song is the low-key nature. Then there's the percussion. Then there's the "raspberry rrrrripple ice cream" part.
Complicated (Avril Lavigne Cover) [ysi] | Ben Gibbard
Shut up! This is serious!
Wanna know my secret? I listen to Avril Lavigne to fall asleep some nights. IT'S OUT. And while Ben points out that her life isn't very complicated, man…this is a good cover, especially with the talking at the beginning and at the end. Those parts make the song.
Hello Benjamin [ysi] | Melpo Mene
I've already declared that I'm in love with this band. But there's something about the melancholy tone of this one that just gets to me. That, and it's always moving.
Broadripple Is Burning [ysi] | Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
I will haunt you like a ghost
I keep running into this song. It's more delicate than a Bright Eyes song.

REMEMBERING ONE OF OUR OWN
by Scott Santarella, CEO of Global Lyme Alliance
Kasey Passen was driven to help others in the fight against Lyme disease
Some people have dreams about changing people's lives but, through no fault of their own, never have an opportunity to carry them out. By contrast, Kasey Lynn Passen, 37, filled with love and the power for doing good, was determined to make people aware of the escalating incidence of Lyme disease in Chicago and outlying areas. Her passion stemmed from her own experiences with the disease and her wish to prevent others from going through the suffering she had. "Too many people are unaware of the risks they face," she said.
Sadly, the disease took her life yesterday, September 4. We at Global Lyme Alliance condole with Kasey's family and friends on the passing of such a vibrant, creative and loving individual.
Scott Santarella with Kasey Passen at their first Chicago GLA Event: An Evening of Art and Education
I met Kasey a few weeks into my tenure as CEO of Global Lyme Alliance. We discussed her desire to hold an event in Chicago to raise money and awareness for tick-borne diseases. GLA had never done an event in the midwest before, but Kasey made that conversation a reality— first with an "Evening of Art and Education"in March 2017, followed by the highly successful "Sublyme Soirée" fundraiser later that summer.
Kasey Passen speaking with co-chair Alex Moresco at the 1st Annual Sublyme Soirée
Thanks to the incredible efforts of Kasey and her fellow committee members, the second annual Sublyme Soirée was held two weeks ago. It was an huge success attended by 300 individuals who enjoyed healthy food (another of Kasey's passions) while also receiving crucial information about the risk, symptoms and prevention of Lyme disease and other transmitted co-infections.
2nd Annual SubLyme Soirée co-chairs with GLA Staff and special guests, Jesse Ruben and Erin Walker
Kasey once told me she suspected that she had suffered for many years before being accurately diagnosed, but had been told that her full body pains were due to fibromyalgia. Despite this "diagnosis," she felt progressively worse, suffering from extreme exhaustion, alarming night sweats and cognitive problems such as brain fog and severe headaches. She sought medical help, but with very few Lyme-literate doctors in Chicago, she was only diagnosed about three years ago.
"It took me a long time to find answers to my own health questions," Kasey said. "My hope is to spread awareness and education of Lyme so that people will be able to recognize the common signs of symptoms and know the right questions to ask their doctors. Lyme is very misunderstood by the medical community and we must advocate to get the right diagnostic tests and treatments."
Kasey Passen and Family
With the tragic loss of Kasey Passen, GLA finds further motivation to cure Lyme disease and reduce the collective suffering. We can never replace such a zealous and compassionate member of Team GLA, but let's hope Kasey's stellar example will be emulated by others with their own tales of Lyme to tell.
