Google Employees Discussed Search "Tweak" To Bias Trump Travel Ban Results
Tech reporters witnessed an incident where Google discussed censorship
By: Jack Murphy |@NeonNettle

It's no secret that Google's search algorithm is biased against right-leaning voices and media outlets question the official narrative.
President Trump recently slammed Google for entering this dangerous territory of censorship when he Tweeted a screenshot of the results shown results for "Trump news."
But according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, a couple of tech reporters witnessed an incident where Google staff discussed actively biasing the company's search algorithm to favor certain news sources offering the desired perspective of Trump's travel ban.
According to ZH, the list of suggestions included:
"Actively counter islamophobic, algorithmically biased results from search terms 'Islam', 'Muslim', 'Iran', etc."
"Actively counter prejudiced, algorithmically biased search results from search terms 'Mexico', 'Hispanic', 'Latino', etc."
"Can we launch an ephemeral experience that includes Highlights, up-to-date info from the US State Dept, DHS, links to donate to ACLU, etc?" the email added.
Several officials responded favorably to the overall idea. "We're absolutely in…Anything you need," one wrote.
But a public-affairs executive wrote:
"Very much in favor of Google stepping up, but just have a few questions on this," including "how partisan we want to be on this."
"To the extent of my knowledge, we'd be breaching precedent if we only gave Highlights access to organizations that support a certain view of the world in a time of political conflict," the public-affairs executive said. "
Is that accurate?
If so, would we be willing to open access to highlights to [organizations] that…actually support the ban?"
While these suggestions were being bandied about, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who moved to the US from the former Soviet Union as a child, was attending rallies in the Bay Area protesting the ban. Google also joined nearly 100 technology companies in filing a joint amicus brief that February challenging the ban.
"The order inflicts significant harm on American business, innovation, and growth."
According to the email chain, which was leaked to WSJ, employees responsible for search marketing said they were engaged in a "large brainstorm" about how to react to the search.
"Overall idea: Leverage search to highlight important organizations to donate to, current news, etc. to keep people abreast of how they can help as well as the resources available for immigrations [sic] or people traveling," the email says.
Some suggested ways to "actively counter" Google searches that produced anti-Islamic and anti-Hispanic search results.
Others focused on how the company could use its "highlights" function, the code name for an experimental project that allowed influencers like politicians and musicians to post text updates that would appear directly in Google's search feed.
A spokesperson for Google emphasized in a statement that none of these ideas was ever implemented, and that "Google has never manipulated its search results" - which is, of course, objectively untrue.
In fact, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is expected to meet with states' attorneys general next week to discuss possible criminal action against tech firms that bias their products against conservatives.
"These emails were just a brainstorm of ideas, none of which were ever implemented," a company spokeswoman said in a statement.
"Google has never manipulated its search results or modified any of its products to promote a particular political ideology - not in the current campaign season, not during the 2016 election, and not in the aftermath of President Trump's executive order on immigration. Our processes and policies would not have allowed for any manipulation of search results to promote political ideologies."
Because who could ever forgot how Trump's electoral victory caused such "panic and dismay" among top Google executive, after the company actively aided the Clinton campaign only to find that its vast influence on the culture still wasn't enough to push her over the line.

Today I'm presenting you the new condom-shooter kid in town: Privates, by a small game producing company called Zombie Cow Studios.
The concept of the game is easily explained: in Privates you're leading a gang of warriors outfitted with condoms (hats) and heavy weaponry. Their job is to get rid of all kind of grotty infections in people's private parts and blast away at all manner of oozy, shouty monsters.
The game that reminds me of the AIDS prevention classic Catch the Sperm is brought to you by Zombie Cow Studios and the British Channel 4.
The PC version will be available to download for free from Channel 4 and E4 websites this summer. The Xbox one will probably cost a little bit of money. At least that's what their press release says right now.
All picture credits: Zombie Cow Studios.
Great idea! Thrilled with Free downloads and conception overall.
Check out the actual trailer.

The final lead role in the 'Sopranos' prequel film has gone to a relative newcomer
Here's what we know about Michela de Rossi
Fans of The Sopranos have a very interesting cast to look forward to in the upcoming prequel to the award-winning TV series.
The 2020 film, which recently saw its title shortened from The Many Saints of Newark to the much simpler Newark, has already got the likes of Ray Liotta and Jon Bernthal attached, but they're being joined by less experienced names such as Michael Gandolfini.
And now, as those behind the film complete their major cast announcements, we've got another less familiar figure on board.
If you're not familiar with Michela de Rossi, you're not alone.
The Italian actor made her big-screen debut in 2018's Boys Cry and also had a recurring role in TV show The Rats, but Newark will be her first English-language film.
According to Deadline, De Rossi's character is understood to be an Italian immigrant who settles in Newark, New Jersey, though further details are limited.
Newark is directed by Alan Taylor, with David Chase and Lawrence Konner on writing duties. All three have connections to The Sopranos.
Other cast members include Vera Farmiga, Billy Magnusson and Alessandro Nivola.
IMDb has put together a guide to what we know so far, but we can expect plenty of extra information to follow as we get closer to the film's release date.

The Alumni/ae Association has developed the following survey to ascertain what they and we can do for you and do better for you. We hope you'll take the time to complete this survey. Your input is very important to us.
Have you attended a reunion over the past 3 years?
If yes, What made you decide to come?
What was great about reunion?
The reunion has currently been set as the weekend after Columbus day (every year). How is that timing working for you?
If the weekend after Columbus Day doesn't work well for you, why?
The Doane Stuart Alumni/ae Association meets every other month over conference call to steer the association's efforts. Some members also participate in focus groups that meet every other month in between greater association meetings to move specific goals forward. These focus groups set their own meeting times according to what works best for participants.
I might be interested in participating in Alumni/ae Association conference calls ?
I would be interested in finding out about other alums working in my field.
IF NO, What hesitations do you have about participating in the alumni association meetings?
Our Association is in need of class reps. Class reps are asked to help the Association connect with members of your graduating class regarding reunion, giving and other alumni/ae events. Would you be willing to be a class rep?
What is your professional field / role?
I would be interested in professionally mentoring a Doane Stuart student or recent graduate.
I am a young alum (class of 2009 – 2017) who would be interested in attending a young alumni reception at Doane Stuart around the holidays.
I am a young alum but would not be able to attend a holiday reception.
In what ways do you currently connect with the Doane Stuart school and fellow alums on Social Media?
If you connect with us on Facebook, which pages / alumni/ae group(s) do you follow?
Which social media platform do you think would work BEST for making alumni/ae connections?
The Doane Stuart School currently carries on a longstanding tradition of internal team competition. Students are assigned a team (blue or green) when they enter the school and remain on that team until graduation. The Alumni/ae Association conducts blue-green activities at reunion, and the winning team contributes points to the current year's student competition. Former Kenwood and St. Agnes teams have been assimilated into blue and green teams (Spartan / Red = Blue team, Amazon / White = Green team).
Which team were you on at Kenwood / Saint Agnes / Doane Stuart?
What might make you feel more engaged with blue-green competition?
Are there any other general suggestions you would like to provide?

Apophylia


Professor Julia Buckroyd is Emeritus Professor of Counselling at the University of Hertfordshire and works in the field of eating disorders, helping clients to break the habit of yo-yo dieting and regain control over their lives and relationships. She is an author, broadcaster and therapist who brings her personal research experience to provide her clients with evidence based interventions.
Julia specialises in understanding eating behaviour and she can teach you to manage your daily life without having to use food.
She can also show you how to return food to an ordinary source of pleasure instead of danger, an endless temptation or possibly a cause of guilt or shame.
Her therapeutic strategy is based on the research literature which suggests that poor attachment history, alexithymia, poor self esteem/body esteem and difficulties in self-soothing/emotional regulation and forming mutually supportive roles, are all huge on-going problems for this particular group.

It seems hard to believe that I have been at this therapy business for 30 years. It seems a very long time since 1984 when newly minted from Birkbeck Student Counsme. After 5 years at The Place, I spent 5 years in full time private practice adelling course (run by the late lamented Ellen Noonan) I stepped into a full time job as Student Counsellor at the London Contemporary Dance School. It was there, for obvious reasons, that I became interested in disordered eating and had my fair share of dancers surviving on an apple and a couple of tissues a day! But that experience created in me a huge curiosity about how we use food which has never left me.
After 5 years at The Place, I spent 5 years in full time practice and already attracted people with disordered eating and a fair number of dancers, musicians, writers and artists. In 1995 I went to the University of Hertfordshire to run the Counselling courses, but after 5 years moved into a research position. It was then that I really got interested in over-eating and developed the programme that is now Understanding Your Eating. In 2008 I was offered a golden goodbye and ever since have been continuing that same old theme – trying to understand why we do what we do with food. So now I run all kinds of training events for counsellors especially in the field of disordered eating and related subjects.
I continue to train people to deliver the Understanding Your Eating Programme and spend 3 days a week working one to one with clients. There is no substitute for 'going and doing it' to keep us counsellors humble. It is never as easy as we think.I am extremely happy that I found my way to therapy as a second career. It has provided me with endless interest and stimulus and I am sure will continue to do so. I will certainly continue for the foreseeable future.
Julia celebrating 30 years as a therapist in her gardens at home with family and friends.


He joined Southport from Cardiff City for a then record fee of �6,000. He had actually turned professional seven years earlier with Luton but, being homesick, was unable to settle down. He played in the West Midlands League for Dudley Town and Lower Gornal before being signed by Cardiff City for �750. He scored on his 'Bluebirds' debut and in all totalled 21 goals in partnership with Terry Harkin (with whom he also played at Southport and Shrewsbury) and a young John Toshack. Signed by Billy Bingham to replace the departing Jim Fryatt, he was particularly strong in the air, being one of the finest headers of a ball to have played for the club. Despite his casual appearance � bearded and with his shirt inevitably flapping outside his shorts � he was a thoroughly professional striker and will always be remembered at Haig Avenue for his winning goal against Southend which saw the club into Division III. Owing to Southport's perennial financial problems he was transferred to Shrewsbury Town for �10,000 where he scored 5o goals in 123 + I games. He ended his League career with Walsall where he made 156 + 3 appearances and scored a further 38 goals. He then spent 10 years in non-League football � his goals return being consistent wherever he played. He works on the parks and gardens for the local council in Tipton, where he still lives.

Discoursethiek (Duits: Diskursethik) is een ethische of morele theorie die de geldigheid van normen baseert op het argumentatieve consensus waardoor de norm tot stand komt. De discoursethiek vertrekt vanuit de idee dat achter elke morele discussie een zekere rationaliteit schuilgaat, die de discussie ook net mogelijk maakt, en de onder ideale omstandigheden gevormde consensus tussen de discussiepartners wordt beschouwd als het fundament voor een morele norm. Dit soort ethiek is vooral ontwikkeld binnen het werk van de Duitse filosoof Jürgen Habermas, maar is bijvoorbeeld ook terug te vinden in het werk van personen als Karl-Otto Apel en Seyla Benhabib. De Amerikaanse filosoof en socioloog G. H. Mead wordt als voorloper van dit soort ethiek gezien.

Inhoud
De Duitse filosofen Jürgen Habermas en Karl-Otto Apel worden beschouwd als de bedenkers van deze benadering van de ethiek. Habermas' zijn discoursethiek is vooral een poging om de implicaties van de communicatieve rationaliteit op het gebied van morele inzichten en normatieve geldigheid uiteen te zetten. Hierbij neemt Habermas de complexe taak op zich om de fundamentele elementen van Kants deontologie, waarop hij zich in hoge mate baseert, te herinterpreteren in communicatieve termen. De discoursethiek baseert zich dus op de eigenschappen en uitgangspunten die aanwezig worden verondersteld bij elke vorm van argumentatie en communicatie. Habermas ziet een sterk verband tussen de argumentatieregels en morele plichten. Morele plichten komen naar voren als geldig, volgens Habermas, net binnen zo'n discours. De universele geldigheid, typerend voor de kantiaanse ethiek, vloeit bijvoorbeeld voort uit de structuren eigen aan de taal zelf. Normatieve uitspraken claimen immers altijd universeel geldig te zijn en het persoonlijk perspectief te overstijgen. Het is daarnaast ook een cognitivistische ethiek, in de zin dat ze stelt dat morele uitspraken een cognitieve inhoud hebben en er op analoge wijze als in een discussie over feiten over gediscussieerd kan worden. Aan de andere kant pretendeert deze visie geen revisionistische theorie te zijn, maar slechts een descriptieve theorie over hoe mensen feitelijk moreel oordelen.

Vooronderstellingen
Habermas beweert in zijn werk dat de normatieve geldigheid van uitspraken niet losstaand van de argumentatieve structuren eigen aan de taal zelf, begrepen kan worden. Om dit punt sterk te maken verwijst hij naar de eigenheid van taalhandelingen in communicatie en de impliciete argumentatie die ze veronderstellen. Hij baseert zich hier sterk op het werk van John Austin en John Searle. Het basisidee is dat de geldigheid van een morele norm niet gerechtvaardigd kan worden binnen het denken van een individueel persoon. De geldigheid is net enkel te rechtvaardigen vanuit een intersubjectief argumentatieproces tussen de verschillende betrokken individuen binnen een maatschappij. De normatieve geldigheid wordt bepaald door het wederzijds begrip tussen de verschillende individuen in een discussie.

Terwijl bij Kant de categorische imperatief een noodzakelijk product was van elk rationeel subject die zelfstandig over de wereld reflecteerde, stelt Habermas dat de morele principes noodzakelijk voortvloeien uit de impliciete argumentatiestructuren die eigen zijn aan elke discussie. Het gaat hierbij om vooronderstellingen die door elk individu moeten gemaakt worden, wil hij ook maar kunnen overgaan tot communicatie en argumentatie. Enkele van deze vooronderstellingen zijn:
De vooronderstelling dat alle deelnemers van de discussie bepaalde linguïstische termen op dezelfde manier gebruiken.
De vooronderstelling dat geen enkel relevant argument onderdrukt of op voorhand wordt uitgesloten door de deelnemers.
De vooronderstelling van machtsvrije communicatie (herrschaftsfreie Kommunikation): geen enkele machtsverhouding, buiten die van het goede argument, mag een rol spelen binnen de discussie.
De vooronderstelling dat alle individuen waarachtig zijn in hun deelname aan de discussie: ze willen daadwerkelijk tot een juiste consensus komen.
De vooronderstelling dat alle deelnemers van de discussie evengoed in staat zijn om onderwerpen aan te dragen en ter discussie te stellen.

Universaliteit
Deze vooronderstellingen binnen elke vorm van communicatie drukken ook een universele verplichting uit die noodzakelijk is voor de vooronderstelde onpartijdigheid van elk soort moreel oordelen, waardoor alle betrokkenen worden verplicht de perspectieven van alle andere betrokkenen in acht te nemen. Hieruit concludeert Habermas tot het volgende universaliteitsprincipe (U), dat als voorwaarde voor de geldigheid van elke morele norm wordt beschouwd:
(U) De gevolgen en bijverschijnselen die vermoedelijk zullen voortvloeien uit de algemene naleving van de betwiste norm moeten door alle deelnemers ongedwongen kunnen worden geaccepteerd.
Dit moet verstaan worden als verankerd in de dieptestructuur van elke geaccepteerde morele norm, en moet niet verward worden met het discoursethisch principe (D), dat zelf veronderstelt dat er normen bestaan die voldoen aan de voorwaarden die door (U) zijn vastgelegd:
(D) Geldig zijn die handelingsnormen waarmee alle mogelijkerwijs betrokken deelnemers aan een rationeel discours zouden kunnen instemmen.
De implicaties van (U) en (D) zijn verregaand. (U) betoogt een rationele reconstructie van het onpartijdige morele standpunt te zijn zoals dat in alle cognitivistische morele theorieën terugkomt. Volgens zulke morele cognitivisten (bijvoorbeeld bij Immanuel Kant of John Rawls) kan men enkel vanuit een abstract en onpersoonlijk standpunt inzicht verkrijgen in de onpartijdige verplichtingen die elke mens moet eerbiedigen, omdat vanuit dit perspectief geen enkel onverantwoord of onredelijk persoonlijk belang meer meespeelt. Habermas' reconstructie van deze notie is uiteraard wel verschillend, voornamelijk doordat hij het intersubjectief interpreteert. Dit wil zeggen dat Habermas, in tegenstelling tot Kant en Rawls, het morele standpunt beschrijft als iets dat voortvloeit uit een verzameling van verschillende perspectieven, namelijk die welke met de norm die in vraag gesteld wordt in verband staan. Het gaat hierbij dus niet om een standpunt van één persoon, maar om dat van een hele verzameling personen.

(D) aan de andere kant is dan weer een principe dat vooral betrekking heeft op de manier waarop normen, die in overeenstemming met (U) zijn, gerechtvaardigd kunnen worden binnen een discours. Ook hier haalt hij dit gegeven uit zijn individualistische sfeer en plaatst het binnen een intersubjectief proces van communicatie. (D) stelt dat elke morele norm slechts zijn geldigheid verkrijgt binnen actuele discoursen en dat ook elk persoon die in verband staat met die norm, moet kunnen deelnemen aan de discussie betreffende de geldigheid ervan. Deze opvatting van geldigheid is er in feite een die onderhevig is aan verandering en vooruitgang en is dus fallibilistisch. Zowel (U) als (D) zijn volgens Habermas katalysatoren van het normatieve leerproces dat ondanks dat het feilbaar is, toch niet tot moreel relativisme vervalt.

»Sensory Analysis Center leads beef flavor training - College of Health and Human Sciences News
Sensory Analysis Center leads beef flavor training
The Sensory Analysis Center has received a $35,000 grant to train researchers from industry and academia on sensory evaluation of beef flavors.
The center is lead partner in the training, funded by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The first session will be May 13-15 at K-State Olathe.
Trainers will use a standardized beef flavor lexicon which the center developed. "We will help standardizes how we describe beef flavor so researchers around the world are on the same page," said Edgar Chambers IV, principal investigator on the grant and director of the center.
"Standardization is important because the flavor of beef changes when we change the way we process it to make it even safer in the food system. As beef production becomes more sustainable through different feeding regimens, flavors change, too. Cattlemen and processors want to understand what they are offering consumers and to understand what consumers want," said Chambers, university distinguished professor.
Sensory evaluation of beef includes such attributes as texture, flavor and aroma.
The sensory team includes Delores Chambers, professor and director of the Sensory Analysis Center; Koushik Adhikari, associate professor, and Marianne Swaney-Stueve, research assistant professor and manager of the Sensory and Consumer Research Center at K-State Olathe. They will conduct the training with a faculty member from Texas A & M University, the collaborator on the project.
Chambers expects up to 30 attendees, most of them from North America. They will return to their institutions or companies to train their sensory panels, he explained.
The College of Human Ecology Sensory Analysis Center on the Manhattan campus provides testing services to companies worldwide and maintains satellite centers in Olathe, Kansas, and in Bangkok, Thailand. It offers a master of science and a Ph.D. program in sensory analysis through the department of human nutrition.

So, my new mascara is Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara in black brown. I love this mascara more than LashBlast, and it is about the same price. The mascara contains olive oil that penetrates your lashes to make them thick inside and out. Sounds wonderful, right? My lashes were nowhere near clumpy, and they looked thick. This mascara is extremely easy to apply. I love this brush more than others, because it is very thick. If you get a little smudge on the top of your eyelids, it wiped off my skin with a lick of my finger. Wow! No complaints here!
Don't forget about the amazing contest we have going! Win a FREE beauty product! There is more information at the side of the page.
This mascara sounded good! I just saw it in a magazine add and just reading about it makes me wanna try it!
I love this mascara too! We seem to love it for all the same reasons.
I really love the soft but bold look it gives.
It does give you a great look for your eyes!

The global financial crisis and Great Recession have dramatically influenced the state of the world and the stability of the nonprofit sector, as we noted in the new Introduction. So as we prepared to research and write this updated edition of Forces for Good, we wanted to know how the twelve high-impact nonprofits we originally featured had fared during these tumultuous times. After all, the management genre is rife with books highlighting the best practices of particular companies at a moment in time, only to see a few of those firms fail mere years later. Such is the dynamic nature of commercial markets—reflecting Schumpeter's cycle of creative destruction.


The horse symbol is an icon of Hermes, because of its history. Let's see what Hermes has created for the Spring Summer 2019 season. The Hermes Lucky Bag, you have to collect one!
I love the Lucky Bag because of the horse shape that resembles a real horse. This little beautiful piece is actually a small bag or a coin purse. It's made from leather and it comes with a horse tack that can be used as a shoulder strap.
The size and prices are not known yet because it's a new bag. Details will follow later as soon as we know more.


I have been using CGPro since the 3.0 days and there has always been a small irritation when creating a new accounts.
and then put the domain as an alias. This means every new account has a default of <username>@grumpy.domain.com.
For years the create account process included going into the WebUser Prefs and resetting the return address. Now in the new interface I haven't found the equiv location. So what was a minor grumble has become somewhat of a pain as I have to log into the account and set it manually.
Could the account template please include a return address setting so that it could be pre-set.

One of by far the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a switch. Whilst employing switches in your house is kind of uncomplicated, wiring a person may well not be that effortless for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find different types of switches, but for this example, let us say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, a very frequent switch (as well as the easiest).
You will discover a few colors of wires within a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them to the terminal screws - one on top along with the other to the bottom screw with the swap. The white wire serves for a supply of uninterrupted power and is also typically connected to a light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the eco-friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These methods would generally be sufficient to generate a normal swap do the job with no difficulty. However, when you are not self-assured that you choose to can execute the activity correctly and properly you greater enable the professionals do it in its place. Just after all, you will find a motive why this undertaking is probably the most frequent electrical wiring thoughts asked by most of the people.
For some motive, how to wire a ceiling fan is usually amongst by far the most popular electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this activity, you should use a single switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it truly is just a issue of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan to the black wire on the swap. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be connected into the black wire on the swap at the same time.
You can find causes why they're by far the most frequently asked electrical wiring concerns. 1, several think it really is very simple to try and do, and two, these are generally the frequent electrical tasks at your home. But you then shouldn't put your basic safety at risk as part of your objective to save money. The stakes could even be much increased if you seek to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring job without having enough know-how or expertise.


Una nueva muerte golpea a la familia del Potro Rodrigo Con el éxito de la película, surgen viejas enemistades, como la que mantienen Betty Olave y Patricia Pacheco . Toda la fuerza del mundo que vos podés. " Falleció minutos antes de la medianoche de este sábado ".
Gillandeux suffered breaks to both the tibia and fibula of his left leg and was taken to the hospital by Sano, according to Duran. According to a translation of the newspaper's story, the officer "ordered Sano to stop at a checkpoint, but he continued (and) ran over the uniformed officer, leaving him with serious damage".
Their powerful third baseman, Miguel Sano, was arrested early Sunday morning after being involved in a traffic accident in the Dominican Republic.
Sano was questioned by police because his vehicle didn't have a license plate and he didn't have identification on him.
A team spokesman for the Twins said "we are still gathering information" but declined to comment otherwise. It was announced today that the third baseman would not face any criminal charges because the incident was not intentional and Sano never attempted to flee the scene. The two knew each other beforehand and Sano offered to pay his medical expenses.
The IPCC does not do any of its own research, so the report draws on more than 6,000 research papers to reach its conclusions. The summary backed the use of carbon pricing , and said governments needed to make a decisive shift towards renewable energy.
The Twins said in a statement on Sunday: "The Minnesota Twins have been made aware of a situation involving Miguel Sano recently in the Dominican Republic".
The accident was another bump in what has been a rocky road for the former All-Star, who was accused of sexual assault by a female photographer last December, although no charges were filed.
But Sano followed with perhaps the most disappointing season of what has been an underachieving career thus far. He batted.199 in 71 games with 13 home runs, 53 hits and 115 strikeouts for the Twins.
The 25-year-old was detained by police for several hours after the incident, but was released after agreeing to return on Monday to be issued a traffic court citation.


Four80East is an electro-jazz collective that's all about the groove. Mixing jazz with soul music and electronic production, the Canadian producer duo of Rob DeBoer and Tony Grace have created a signature bass-propelled sound that entrances listeners of their recordings and enthralls audiences at their live shows.
Since breaking out with their critically acclaimed first release "The Album," in 1997, Four80East has been a mainstay on contemporary jazz radio and touring circuits with hits like "Eastside" and "Noodle Soup" and five subsequent albums.
Although the "band" was born as a studio project, DeBoer and Grace have been able to transform their layered and captivating sonic productions into a high-energy live show with the help of many world class session musicians who join them on stage. DeBoer, a multi-instrumentalist who plays keyboards, guitar and bass, fronts the band on their live performances.
As a production team and as artists, DeBoer and Grace have had global success. They've won every major music award in their native Canada from a Juno to a MuchMusic Award to a Canadian Radio Music Award. Internationally, they've achieved commercial success and received critical accolades for their work as remixers, label owners, producers, and artists in the genres of R&B, jazz and dance. They've also migrated their talents to film and TV as composers for hit shows, films and commercials.
For 20 years as producers and songwriters and almost as long as Four80East, they've reinvented themselves time and time again. Whether pushing the boundaries of musical integration on their recordings or filling the dance floor at their concerts, Four80East is continually putting their unique twist on contemporary jazz's sound and style. For them music is all about being fresh and exciting and, most importantly, all about the groove.

When the Hydra VIII mission by Comex (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertises) set the world open-sea diving record at a depth of 534 metres in 1988, the watch that accompanied the divers on their mission was a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller chronometer. This model was standard equipment for the world leader in marine engineering.
It was the only watch the firm's elite divers fully trusted on their saturation dives to great depths – when precise timing is of vital importance at every stage – and the watch they had used on thousands of successful underwater missions in extreme conditions. Thanks to its Rolex-patented helium valve, this legendary watch was instrumental in the conquest of the deep. It is being reintroduced in an updated version that benefits from Rolex's latest technical innovations while remaining faithful to the iconic aesthetics of the original model.
Inspired by the vintage "Steve McQeen" Explorer, the 24 hour hand of the Explorer II has returned to the arrow shape and the orange colour of the original 1971 model. Diamond like carbon matte coating on a 42mm case and signed PROHUNTER in orange on the dial. Finished with an anti reflective coating and individually engraved case backs (001-100).
Fifty-two years ago Rolex made watchmaking history when it joined the bathyscaphe Trieste, crewed by Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh, as the Swiss-designed bathyscaphe descended to the then deepest-known point in the ocean.
An experimental Rolex Deep Sea Special wristwatch was attached to the exterior of the Trieste when it touched the very bottom of the Mariana Trench on January 23, 1960, reaching a depth of 35,814 feet (10,916 meters). It successfully withstood tremendous pressure that no submersible, let alone watch, had confronted before and that no human could ever survive. The dive marked the culmination of a long association with Jacques Piccard and his father, Auguste Piccard, the inventor of the bathyscaphe, as they stretched the boundaries of deep-sea exploration. It was also the fruit of decades of unrelenting development of the waterproof wristwatch, which was invented by Rolex.


Newcastle- the home of the 2p machines!
When the sun is shinning, there's usually one place on my wishlist to visit- Newcastle, County Down! Can't get enough of the place!!
Last Saturday we spent the day at Windsor Caravan site, where my boyfriend's brother has a caravan. Great spot! As the sun was shining (we've had a great few weeks!), we were able to BBQ and sit out and enjoy the class spring day.
Of course, we made the trip into the town too to go the amusements- Kent Amusements being my favourite! Happily wasted about £2 or £3 on the 2p machines- such a big gambler!

Cicoria is chicory that is sauteed and usually served as an accompaniment to the main course on an Italian menu.
Fagioli con le cipolle, beans with onions, are a contorno or side dish especially popular in the region of Tuscany, whose citizens are known as mangiafagioli or bean-eaters.
Fagiolini are green beens, which can appear in many forms, especially in Liguria, where they are combined with potatoes and pesto to make a classic Italian pasta dish.
Finocchio al Forno is simply roast fennel, served as a side dish or contorno as part of an Italian meal.
Friarielli is a bitter green grown extensively in Campania. It begs to be served with a simple sausage, so besides using it as a contorno or side dish, you'll see it in pasta and pizza as well.
Insalata Mista is a mixed salad to be dressed at the table and eaten with the main course of an Italian meal.
Patate al forno is a side dish or contorno of sliced potatoes with rosemary cooked in the oven, a classic Italian side dish not to be mistaken for an American style baked potato.
Peperoni are bell peppers, served grilled or roasted as a side dish, or used on pizza or raw in a seasonal salad, insalata mista on an Italian menu.

Q: how to print tab separated values of a python list of strings specifying a maximum line length and avoiding string break I am trying to write a function that takes dir(obj) as argument and prints out a perfect list of string tabbed in multiple columns. dir(obj) is a function that generates a list of strings where each string is a method available for the chosen obj. The output, however, is formatted as a single column. I would like to generate tabbed columns instead.
So far I managed to use
lst = dir(str) # naming the variable as lst and trying it out with 'str' object
print(*lst, sep='         \t') # note the amount of white spaces before \t

However, no matter how many times I tried separating them with different quantities of white space (sep='     \t'), the columns always break at some point. Please see below a screen clip from my Jupyter notebook:

I've spend the whole afternoon trying different alternatives, including pprint, columnar and tabulate, but these modules seem to work better with tables. Thus far I have not found a simpler and obvious way to do such a simple and obvious task. what am I missing here, please?

A: longest = max([len(l) for l in lst])
cols = 5
padding = 5

for i, a in enumerate(lst):
    print(a, end=" "*(longest-len(a)+padding) if (i+1) % cols else "\n")

will produce a result that looks like this
" "*(longest-len(a)+padding) will adjust the columns for the longest variable and add some extra padding.

Since the firing of their former coach, Jason Kidd, the Bucks have gone on a three game win streak. Those wins all came last week against the Suns, Nets, and Bulls. Though this was not very steep competition, Giannis took this schedule as an opportunity to showcase his abilities and add on to his potential MVP resume. He did not play in the game vs the Suns, but during the two game stretch he averaged a double double and did not miss a 3pt attempt. It is good to see that the loss of a coach he respected has not negatively impacted his on-court performance.
Last week was the stage for several excellent performances in the West. This was probably the hardest week to decide a winner for the POTW honors so far this season, but with his team going 4-0 and winning against the Nets, Wizards, Pacers, and 76ers, I had to go with Russ. As you will find out later in this post, this was a loaded decision and entertainment value was admittedly factored in. However you wanna slice and dice it, Westbrook is on a roll right now and so is his team, who has won their last 8 games and are the hottest team in the NBA right now. If you have been sleeping on them this season after a slow start, it's time to wake up and pay attention.
Late last week the news that Grizzlies' point guard Mike Conley would be shut down the rest of the season for ankle surgery was announced. This came as a sigh of relief for many of us who are looking towards the future and desire a high lottery draft pick this off season, combined with a healthy core next season.
First, on behalf of the players, coaches and the entire Grizzlies organization, I'd like to thank you for your continued support in standing by your team this year.
As MVP Season Ticket Holders, I wanted to make sure that you heard directly from me that unfortunately Mike Conley is going to need surgery to smooth a small bone protrusion in his heel that continues to cause pain and soreness. Although he will be unavailable for the rest of this season, Mike is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp next year. Mike has been extremely diligent as we pursued multiple different approaches to alleviate the pain before deciding surgery was the best solution.
So, what does that mean for the balance of this season, which to date has not gone as we had planned and hoped? Simply put, we are committed to playing hard and playing the right way night in and night out, while developing our young talent and instilling within them the winning culture we have built in Memphis.
Beyond our play on the court the rest of this year, we will remain aggressive in evaluating opportunities to improve our team, whether that's through player development, the NBA draft, free agency or trades.
I understand you may have questions and look forward to answering them in person. So please save the date and join me Wednesday, February 14th at 6pm in the Built Ford Tough Training Facility for an exclusive MVP Chalk Talk before our game with the Thunder. Details will follow, so check your inbox for the invitation in the coming days.
In the meantime, I deeply appreciate your continued support of the Grizzlies and look forward to speaking with many of you soon.
Take it for what you will, but it certainly got the rumor mill going in M-Town. A back and forth began on Twitter Sunday afternoon between the Grizz beat writer for the local paper and Grizzlies' most injury prone player, Chandler Parsons.
Should have tweeted several days ago what I heard about Mike Conley needing surgery… Not confirmed but hearing that Grizzlies have approached Chandler Parsons' people about injury retirement (of course, they will deny).
People seem to love to start rumors regarding Chandler (incorrectly in that particular case), so it will be interesting to see if there is any validity to Tillery's claim. Things are getting feisty in Memphis and we will be sure to keep you posted on how this story develops. Follow me on Twitter to stay up to date.
In what can be described as a classic Russell Westbrook performance (37/9/14), the Thunder defeated the 76ers by ten points on Sunday. The outcome of the game, however, was not the story of note. The main takeaway was the game inside the game, one between two "Princes of Pettiness", our guys Joel and Russ.
Less than 5 minutes into the game, Embiid caught the ball at the top of the key and gave a ball fake that threw Steven Adams off just enough that he opened up enough room for Embiid to take a stroll down the lane and throw down a monstrous dunk over Russ, complete with stare down.
Westbrook, tried to get the last laugh of the game as he dribbled out the clock to seal the Thunder's 122-112 victory at home. Of course he did this while locking eyes with Joel, complete with cold gaze.
But we aren't finished yet…not to be outdone…Embiid went to Instagram immediately following the game and posted a picture of his posterizing slam over Westbrook with the location of "Crime Scene Investigation". I have to hand it to him, that's pretty clever. Could this rivalry end up being one of the best superstar beefs of our generation? We have to get these guys in the same conference.
I can't wait until we get to see this story continue during the All-Star game this year, as these two play against each other.

I recently contacted my cable company via their website chat, to find out what it would cost to make a few changes to my existing service. As many of you have probably experienced, adding services with your cable company can be very frustrating. It always seems that it costs a lot more to upgrade, then it ever saves to downgrade. This was another one of those cases.
Now the rep was actually very nice, but clearly constrained by the script. The entire experience left me feeling like my cable company really didn't care about how they made their customers feel. I wondered if there was a lack of commitment to Customer Experience throughout the company, or if the problem was limited to interacting with the call center. I decided to turn to Social Media.
I posted a brief comment on Facebook, and also on Twitter, questioning if anybody really cares about customer experience at my cable company. Within 2 minutes I had a response from the company on Twitter, by someone very committed to doing all they could to resolve any issues I had. They were able to use good judgment and interact freely without following a script. At the end, she even encouraged me to contact her group directly for any future needs.
My Facebook posting led to a friend that connected me with one of their contacts, who was a director within the cable company's customer facing organization. This was really good, and led to the transcript of my original chat with the call center being reviewed and summarized to upper management.
I confirmed what an effective tool Social Media can be for consumers when a vendor's standard customer care channel is ineffective, and actually, how important it can be to the vendor.
I found that as a company, my cable provider really does care about their customers' experience, but they have not focused hard enough to assure things don't break down at the base level of customer interaction. It seems like it would be an easy fix to train their call center rep to immediately escalate a call or chat to a supervisor as soon as things start to break down following their standard script.
I love small business and am passionate about taking care of customers!
I've spent nearly 50 years in business, most of them running my own small companies. I now use what I've learned to help other small businesses and startups do what it takes to produce sales and develop loyal customers.
I also volunteer my time mentoring and teaching classes for SCORE and Starter Studio, two excellent non-profit organizations in Orlando.

EU on brink: How Germany fears 'euro may crash' as bloc cracks post-Brexit
The currency has been plagued by economic crisis since 2009, as countries such as Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Cyprus have been unable to repay debts without the assistance of other countries, the European Central Bank, or the International Monetary Fund. This has put strain on the stronger economies in the EU, such as Germany, France and the UK. But now that Britain has finally left the bloc, it appears many in Germany worry for the future of the currency as southern Europe continues to struggle with its national debts.
A spokesman for the Werte Union – a group within Chancellor Merkel's party which has been critical of her leadership – said that the euro and the EU could fall apart in the near future.
He said: "The general population are angry about Brexit and disappointed about it – it isn't just to do with regulation or economics but many people fear that the idea of the European Union is broken.
"They also fear that maybe it will break apart.
"We tend to look more at the internal policies in Germany, but what we have spoken about is that maybe there will be a euro crash and that the EU will fail.
"It really depends on how the EU will further develop. There's a lot of debt in Italy and other states of the euro, also in the banks who bought government bonds from these countries and now have a high risk.
"The UK, if the EU crashes and burns with the euro, the UK will sit there with a smiling face and say 'lucky we left'."
The EU's richer nations are feuding with the rest of the 27 member states over budget plans as the bloc aims to fill the loss of UK contributions.
The first European Council on 2021-2027 budget was a failure after lengthy talks ultimately ended with little progress.
Big differences remain between the frugal nations such as the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Sweden who don't want to spend more than one percent of gross national income, and the group of 17 countries opposing cuts to agriculture.
Chancellor Merkel called for compromise in the talks, also saying she is willing to increase her country's contribution to the budget to more than one percent if the other member states agree.
Her spokesman said: "Our goal has always been that this budget will also support a process of modernisation."
He added that to achieve this, it "will require a willingness from all sides to compromise".
Felix Schoenherr of the Werte Union highlights how Brexit could also lead to more strain on Germany in the EU budget.
He said: "One problem from a German perspective is of course money because the UK contributed quite a lot to the EU, money which now breaks away.
"Of course, politicians now ask 'who is going to step in for that?' And it's the Germans again.

"The Werte Union demands that the funding introduced for the EU is reduced – but we don't want to abolish the EU."
As for trade talks between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier – Mr Schoenherr believes a deal is in everyone's interests.
He said: "The question whether the UK will succeed or fail, it is always in relation to the EU. So we are worried the EU may go a long way without so much concern for the UK.
"What we acknowledge of course is that we support basic democracy. It was a referendum, the people decided. There is nothing to argue about.
"I think from a German economic perspective the UK is a very important trade partner, and we should try to get an agreement on both sides."

My wife, Tonya, and I are expecting our first child (a girl) in September. It is funny how brazen people can be when they know you are expecting. You commonly hear of people shamelessly touching your wife's stomach; even strangers. We know of people who have all the advice in the world to tell you; even when you never ask for it.
1. "Get all your sleep now, while you can." You know, we get it! You are not helping. I find myself in conversation mindfully avoiding any reference to sleep or being tired just so someone in earshot doesn't say this to me.
2. "Your whole world is about to change." I had not thought for one second that having a baby was going to change everything. I never thought of that once during every "pregnancy scare", every time an in-law asked when we would ever have a baby, or every time I heard A Baby Changes Everything during the Christmas pageant.
3. "Are you sure you want THIS?" This one is generally said to you while their child is throwing a tantrum, or producing a horrific diaper, or melting down in some other fashion. We are 8 months pregnant, it's a little late to have this discussion.
4. "Enjoy every moment; they grow up so fast." First, no they do not! The calendar year is and has been the same for a very long time. Aside from Benjamin Button (which is fiction btw), everyone ages at the same rate. Second, it's not helpful to tell a pregnant woman whose feet are swollen, face is broken out, and can never sleep comfortably to 'enjoy every moment.' The baby is not even here yet! Plus, we had planned on hating every moment.
5. "Do what's right for you and your baby; don't listen to all that advice." Relativism aside, we had hoped to do what was right for our baby, but why do people feel the need to unload advice on you after they've said this. It is almost like saying, "With all due respect..."
Honorable Mention: "Once you see the baby, you will forget all the pain." "Be sure to read to it..and spank it."
What other things should people just NOT tell an expecting couple?

Criminal life of Alphonse Gabriel Capone, full Facts
April 21, 2020 First person Bio Gossips
Alphonse Gabriel Capone (Al Capone) was one of America's most prominent gangsters, who rose to infamy as Chicago Outfit leader during the Prohibition period. He had accumulated a personal fortune valued at $100 million as head of the famed crime syndicate before being sent to Alcatraz Prison in 1934 for a tax evasion conviction. We are going to study about the Capone crime or we say Al Capone facts…Al Capone facts…Al Capone facts (voice echo).
1 AL Capone's family immigrant from Italy
1.1 The Capone family and his childhood
2 The rise of gangster from early ages…
3 Why Capone was famous for his crime? Al Capone facts
4 How and where did Al Capone died?
Capone met the gangster Johnny Torrio at age 14, which would prove the biggest influence on the boss of the would-be gangland. Torrio taught Capone how necessary it is to maintain a respectable front when running a racketeering company. Within the criminal industry, the gently developed Torrio reflected a new dawn, turning an aggressively coarse society into a corporate Empire. Capone joined the James Street Boys gang of Torrio, ultimately rising to the Gang of Five Points.
In 1909, Torrio moved to Chicago from New York to help manage the giant brothel company there and, in 1920, sent for Capone. It was rumored that, that year, Capone or Frankie Yale killed Big Jim Colosimo, the manager of Torrio, making way for the rule of Torrio.

Capone was born on 17 January 1899 in Brooklyn, New York. Many New York gangsters came from poor backgrounds in the early 20th century but for the Capone this was not the case. Capone came from a wealthy, educated family, away from being a poor immigrant from Italy who turned to crime to make a living. Gabriele, his father, was among the thousands of Italians who arrived in New York in 1894. He was thirty years old, educated, and from Naples, where he had received barber living. His wife Teresa was pregnant and had already brought up two sons: Vincenzo, a two-year-old son, and Raffaele, a boy.
The Capone family and his childhood
The Capone family had lived near the Navy Yard in Brooklyn. It was a tough place given over by sailor characters who frequented the nearby bars to the vices they desired. The family was a normal, law-abiding, if loud Italian-American clan, and there was little suggestion that the young Capone would move into a criminal world and become the number one public enemy. The relocation of the family to a more ethnically diverse region of the city undoubtedly introduced the young Capone to broader cultural factors, no doubt equipping him with the means to manage a legendary criminal empire.

Yet it was Capone's education that marred the remarkable young man, both insufficient and violent at a Catholic institution beset with crime. He was expelled at the age of 14 for assaulting a female teacher while he was a talented pupil, and he never returned. Since leaving school at the age of 14, Al Capone served as a candy store clerk, a pin-boy bowling alley, an ammunition plant worker, and a book bindery cutter while working in two "kid gangs" — bands of rebellious children notorious for vandalism and petty crime that were common in New York in the early 1900s.
The rise of gangster from early ages…
When Prohibition began in 1919 after the 18th amendment came into force, new operations of bootlegging opened up and pulled in enormous richness. Torrio retired in 1925, and Capone became Chicago's crime czar, overseeing gambling, prostitution, and bootlegging rackets and increasing his territory by gunning down rival gangs.

As Capone's reputation grew, he still insisted as a mark of his status that he was unarmed. But he never went anywhere without at least two bodyguards and when he was traveling by car he was even sandwiched between bodyguards. He tended to fly under the night cover, risking journeying only when absolutely necessary. Al became Torrio's partner with his business acumen, and took over as manager of the Four Deuces (Torrio's headquarters in the Levee area of Chicago). The Four Deuces worked under a single roof as a speakeasy, gambling joint and whorehouse.
Why Capone was famous for his crime? Al Capone facts
Capone abducted election staff from opponents and resorted to abuse against voters. He finally won office in Cicero but not before his brother Frank was killed in a shootout with police force in Chicago.
He was made money-man by Capone's bootlegging whiskey trail from Chicago to New York, but an incident involving Billy McSwiggin, known as the "hanging prosecutor," was to become a big setback for the un-attackable gangster. McSwiggin was shot and killed in error by Capone's henchmen during a shoot-out outside a bar between rivals. Capone was blamed but again he avoided arrest due to lack of evidence. Nevertheless, a major uproar toward gangster activity followed the assassination, and public opinion moved against Capone.
Capone played the role of peacemaker, calling on the other gangsters to sound down their aggression. He also managed to negotiate an amnesty among rival gangsters, and the killing and abuse ceased for two months. But Chicago had been firmly in the grasp of gangsters and Capone looked beyond the law's control.
He was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, and imprisoned. Capone was soon incarcerated in the Eastern penitentiary, where he lived until 16 March 1930. He was later released from prison for good behavior, but put on the "Most Wanted" list of America, which publicly humiliated a mobster who so desperately wanted to be considered a worthy man of the people.
The jury found Capone guilty on 17 October 1931 of multiple counts of tax evasion. Judge Wilkerson sentenced him to 11 years in prison, $50,000 in fines and an additional $30,000 in court costs. They refused Bail.
Capone is allegedly responsible for the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929 and attempted murder on Bugs Moran, head of the North Side Gang.
Just as powerful powers gathered against him, Capone indulged in one last gruesome act of revenge the murder of two Sicilian associates who he claimed had betrayed him. Capone welcomed his victims to a sumptuous banquet where, with a baseball bat, he violently pulverized them. Before executing them, Capone had observed the old tradition of wine- and dining-traitors.
How and where did Al Capone died?
U.S. following detailed inquiries Treasury agents may arrest Capone for failure to file a tax return on profits. Capone's testimony on his taxes, compelled to justify himself when being tried on a separate indictment in Chicago, did not suit prior claims he had made and he was found guilty of tax evasion. He was sentenced in October 1931 to ten years of hard duty, which he spent in a jail in Atlanta, Georgia, and in jail on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, California.

Capone suffered from syphilis, a condition which passed through sexual contact from person to person. If left unchecked the disease will affect the brain. Capone was frail mentally, and began to lose his mind. As a result, his influence within the organized crime network of the nation was terminated.
On 25 January 1947, at the age of 48, Capone died of cardiac arrest. During his final years in jail, tertiary syphilis aggravated Capone's deteriorating health, and he became confused and disoriented. After release, Capone deteriorated slowly at his palace on Palm Island. His wife Mae remained with him till the end.

INTERVIEW MIT MAL FANTOME
April 20, 2020 by Chris In Band Interviews , Uncategorized
10 Fragen / 10 Antworten
1. When and why did you become a musician
Charles : My dad played trombone in a bossa nova / jazz band when he was a student and he played the guitar and piano as far as I can think of. So music was always present, it was always part of my life. I picked up the guitar as my main instrument when I was 11 and started writing songs. Tom e that's when it all started.
2. What are your characteristics? What makes you special?
Charles : I consider myself a melodist first. I'm interested in melodies, I'm not a guitar hero so I focus on the harmonies in songs I play on.
3. Who and what inspired you??
Charles : Everything inspires me and I think I can say the same for the whole band. On the music side, we all grew up during the same period so we all like bands from the 70's up to new music made today, Jack and I are more influenced by darker bands – from Black Sabbath to Joy Division to Interpol to The Afghan Whigs (I also like Burt Bacharach, American Music Club, The National, Spoon and Beck) – and Ike (drums) is all over the place really.
As for our songs, I like writing about human condition, relationships gone bad, hopes and regrets, love and lust, etc.
5. How do you imagine listening to your music? Where do you like to listen?
Charles : I have recorded many songs in my life. Curiously, the only recordings I ever got back to listen to are the Mal Fantôme's songs. For the first time of my life I actually like listening to our songs.
Driving my VW Jetta alone on the highway, I love crancking up the volume, roll down the windows and sing along.
4. Who are your most important role models and why?
Charles : I don't have many role models but I sure am a huge fan of Paul Banks (Interpol), Johnny Marr (The Smiths, The The, Modest Mouse), Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), Paddy McAloon (Prefab Sprout), Paul McCartney, joseph Arthur, Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers), PJ Harvey. All these people have a signature in their songwriting. You can recognize them easily and they all find ways to reinvent themselves.
6. What role do social media play in your career? How important is YouTube or Instagram for you?
Charles : you can't expect tob e discovered if you're not using social media. We're using mainly Facebook but we also post some stuff on Twitter but not regularly. Facebook helped us connecting with people from all around the globe. And that's the best part. Some people like you Chris, are making a huge impact on us. We'll never forget that.
7. Do you actually do anything besides the music?
8. What has been the best performance you've seen so far?
Charles : I'm a father so family is taking a lot of my time. I want to be present as much as I can fort he development of my daughter. Our house is in a forest pretty high on a mountain about 20 minutes from downtown Quebec city so I love skiing and hiking as much as I can. In the summer making pizza on the BBQ is definately a regular activity.
Jack is a super competitive goaltender (hockey) he plays 150+ games a year. He's also an avid golfer. As for Ike, he is a very good sailor he's also into mountain biking (which I also am).
Charles : the best shows I've seen in my life were often from bands I didn't expect much. For instance, I've never been a Prince fan but I,ll never forget seeing him live in London in 1990. My daughter loves Bruno Mars and I must say, he is the best entertainer I've seen in my life. Spoon is a band I love that always put on a great show. On the other hand, I've seen Interpol many times and have been deceived most of the time. Same for The National and a few other favorites.
9. Who should play you when your life is filmed?
10. Last question: What do you want for the next 10 years, what do you need for it?
Charles : This won't happen. But if it were to happen I guess anyone could do it.
Charles : Mal Fantome has tons of songs. As a matter of fact, we are finishing album #2 at the moment and we have a pretty good idea of what #3 will be like. We easily have 100s of demos in the bank. Our main problem ist hat I take way too much time writing the lyrics, if I were better at it we'd already talk album #10…
So we'd love to stay healthy and focussed to release new songs regularly as we have been doing so far. A dream would be to open for a band on a tour in Europe and the UK. Most bands we love are either from Europe or England.
Also, it wouldbe very nice to meet in person, have a great dinner, a few drinks while listening to music we love! Thanks for all you do for us. It means the world to us.

Video Privacy Act (18 USC §2710): Records of sales or rentals of video tapes are confidential. As with all laws, Courts can be convinced to extend "old language" to protect new technologies (e.g., licenses to stream content could potentially fall under this law). Applications that stream entertainment content must be careful to provide a privacy framework whereby records of the content streamed by viewers remain confidential, or else require the user's permission to display such records.
Stored Communications Act (18 USC § 2702): Content of e-mail in public systems are confidential. This law mainly applies to ISPs and has been found inapplicable in cases where the emails are stored on private systems such as private company servers. While there is still a question of what constitutes a "public system" under this law, courts are increasingly extending this act to include any messaging services, such as public forums, that allow users to join indiscriminately.
Right to Financial Privacy Act (12 USC §3401 et seq.): Bank records are confidential. This one is a no brainer. However, applications with functionality similar to Mint should be careful to avoid exposure under this law.
Interception of Radio Communications (47 USC §605): Radio messages are private. While this may seem, at first glance to be dated and irrelevant (who uses radio transmissions?), providers should, once again, be aware of the courts' tendency to modernize old laws. For example, use of word "radio" in 47 USCS § 605 includes television transmissions. Hoosier Home Theater, Inc. v Adkins, 595 F Supp 389 (SD Ind 1984).
This list is by no means exhaustive and does not even touch on the various state laws dealing with the right to privacy. As always, consultation with a qualified attorney is strongly urged.


LOCAL EQUITIES declined on Tuesday as traders switched to profit taking ahead of the Holy Week break.
The bellwether Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) dropped 0.21% or 16.51 points to close at 7,601.40.
The broader all-shares index also declined by 0.19% or 8.69 points to settle at 4,532.92.
"We're near the resistance level, and then there's this Holy Week so the market will take some profit taking... The natural technical reaction on the long weekend is that some people would trade safe because there's nothing now for them to be very bullish [about]," Summit Securities, Inc. President Harry G. Liu said in a phone interview.
Local financial markets will be closed on April 13 and 14 in observance of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
"PSEi slid a few points due to a couple of factors, but mostly this is just traders trying to take some money off the table heading to the long weekend. We're still above the 7,600 line and we could sense the bullish tone," AP Securities, Inc. equity trader Frank Gerard J. Barboza said in a text message.
Regina Capital Development Corp. Managing Director Luis A. Limlingan pointed to local trade data released yesterday as one of the factors that affected the market.
"Locally, investors have taken into account the latest trade imbalance data as the difference between imports and exports has created a gap worth -$1.728 billion," Mr. Limlingan said.
The country's trade deficit for February was the lowest recorded since February 2016's $1.104 billion. This brings the trade deficit for the first two months of the year to $4.198 billion.
Three counters ended in negative territory. The property sector fell 1.19% or 39.85 points to 3,307.79, followed by financials which declined 0.40% or 7.59 points to 1,891.63, and holding firms which dipped by 0.02% or 1.84 points to 7,655.65.
Mining and oil, industrials, and services stayed in the positive, respectively rising by 0.61% or 74.77 points to 12,214.36, by 0.45% or 51.45 points to 11,271.11, and by 0.36% or 5.87 points to 1,614.28.
Decliners trumped advancers, 118 to 87, while 47 stocks remained unchanged.
Value turnover was logged at P7.13 billion as 1.47 billion issues changed hands, higher than Monday's P6.07 billion worth.
Net foreign buying continued to decline, falling to P80.53 million from Monday's P466.66 million.
Summit Securities' Mr. Liu said the market could continue its positive trend for the rest of the year.
"Expect investors to shed off a little exposure in equities to minimize unforeseen external catalysts from the global markets," AP Securities' Mr. Barboza added.

Engineering Department News and Events
Inspiring engineering students within a liberal arts environment
The mission of the Trinity College Engineering Department (ENGR) is to educate and inspire engineering students within the liberal arts environment so that they will possess the knowledge and vision to make significant contributions to the engineering profession and to society at large. Trinity College has been committed to engineering instruction for over 100 years, offering civil and mechanical engineering courses as early as 1856. Today, Trinity is one of just a few highly selective liberal arts colleges that offers two engineering degree paths: a Bachelor of Science degree, accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, and a Bachelor of Arts in Engineering Science degree. These degrees prepare students for careers in industry and for further study in engineering graduate programs or post-graduate schools of law, medicine, and business.
Engineering and the Liberal Arts
Consonant with its intellectual environment, the Trinity Engineering Program requires substantial study in the traditional liberal arts, encouraging students to examine critically a broad range of scientific, humanistic, and technological problems. The engineering program encourages interdisciplinary ties to other science departments including biology, chemistry, computer science, neuroscience, and physics. Additionally, engineering students benefit greatly from the College's proximity to area educational, technological, and biomedical facilities, many of which offer internship opportunities, including Northeast Utilities, Pfizer, Texas Instruments, and United Technologies Corporation. All in all, engineering students at Trinity are prepared to understand and employ emerging technologies while benefiting from the development of leadership, civic responsibility, academic achievement, and life-long professional relationships among Trinity engineering graduates.
The program educational objectives of the B.S. in engineering program are the following:
Trinity engineering graduates apply their broad liberal arts education and firm foundation in engineering fundamentals to diverse fields of endeavor.
Early in their careers, Trinity engineering graduates pursue varied positions in industry or graduate school in engineering and related fields.
Trinity engineering graduates demonstrate professional growth, provide leadership, and contribute to the needs of society.
