Q: Anybody using detrusion.com, web application firewall for ruby on rails PS: I was doing to some random search and then I got detrusion.com.

*

*Whats this web application firewall ?

*How it works ?

*Any performance hit, if yes then how much?

*Should I use this destruction.com or anything else better available.

Anybody??

A: I quickly glanced at the code and it doesnt appear to be doing all that much. Basically it maintains a white and black list of IPs. While it cannot be that much of a crazy performance hit you'd probably be better off doing this kind of request analyzing in a Rack middleware, that is before it even gets to the Rails request handling.
That being said, I dont like the fact that it will re-sync every 5 minutes DURING processing a given request. That is, it will block the current request while it re-syncs its ruleset / and lists. Which means that you're at the mercy of the Detrusion.com team to keep their site/API up. So when they go down you go down.
While its not as real-timey, I'd feel more comfortable to have the updating process be out of bound. Maybe you store the rules/lists in a flat file or a local DB (Redis would be perfect) which you load on app start. Then you have a frequent cron which reloads the ruleset from Detrusion and writes it locally.
Something like that. Just anything to de-couple your request handling from a Detrusion API check.


Spiritual Healing Crisis begins when we begin our Spiritual Search. More we search more confused we get.
We realise how vulnerable we are to all suggestions and to what is popular. The danger is that we just go to the nearest spiritual center. Just as you would go to nearest shopping centre. Nothing in that decision changes your life.
There is no transformation in just joining another group. This is the start of our Spiritual Healing Crisis. For true healing to be experienced there needs to be a transformation from our thinking process. A complete turnaround from every other human on the planet. Not just turnaround in belonging to another group.
We are in a Spiritual Healing Crisis when we begin our search. All we seek is a safe place to belong. A place in this world that is safe from judgement. A place where we are not exploited. Sexual exploitation is first thing to look out for. In deep Spiritual Healing Crisis we need direction. A path that leads us beyond this life. A place beyond just instant gratification. A path of honor, self respect and self worth.
There are many teachers who take advantage of the vulnerable by saying "if you have nothing to hide – then take your clothes off.
We are so vulnerable that our critical mind that is designed to keep us safe is suddenly at the mercy of their persuasion. Everyone else is doing it mindset sets in. And before we know it, we are one of the sheep following the rest of the vulnerable broken souls gathered together to comfort each other in the very trauma that is recreated in this group. But we are in this Spiritual Healing Crisis. In a crisis we cannot think for ourselves. Sadly, only years later you recognise the abuse of power.
Be careful, stop. Don't just go for what the masses are doing. That is never the right path. We need to have someone who can help us change our feelings. One who has come through this maze of broken . One who identifies the Elephant in the Room immediately.

BPD cop suspended after Rhode Island strippers steal his gun
By adamg on Thu, 02/07/2019 - 10:12pm
The Providence Journal offers details on how the offduty Boston officer came to lose his gun in Pawtucket. The Herald reports the unnamed officer was suspended while police investigate.
Boston Police Department
ummmm, well....
By Rob on Thu, 02/07/2019 - 10:36pm.
At least he didn't fool around once he realized it was missing - he called the local police.
Credit to Pawtucket Police, too - looks like they did this by the numbers instead of getting him the gun back and sweeping the rest under the rug.

What response to incentives was he expecting from the woman who gets naked to earn her living? If I dealt with half the harassment she probably faces, I would seek access to a firearm too. If it were inside a locked vehicle to which the owner HANDED ME THE KEYS, I would think "free lunch."

Some questions for 'Officer
By PeterGriffith5 on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 7:50am.
Some questions for 'Officer John'.
Do you always leave your phone charger in your BMW SUV when you go into a hotel room?
How did you learn the identify the dancers who were aspiring sex workers?
Can Police legally bring their city issued weapons to another state?
Do you always hand out your car keys to people that you just met?
When you hand out your car keys, do you regularly also hand out the key to unlock the cable gun lock?
Given the fact that you consort with known criminals, by your own admission give them access to your city owned fire-arm, why should the city not fire such a dumb person as a police officer?
I can answer at least a few.
Police in the United States can legally carry their department issued firearms in any state. (Whether they should or not when they're off duty is another question.) This is beneficial to our fugitive units who must travel to other states during the course of an investigation.
I'm not entirely convinced the gun was really secure in a cable lock and if that's true, he should be charged accordingly.
The department should, and will most likely, fire him. He's a new recruit and according to union and department rules, can therefore be fired any time during that. And I have faith they will get rid of him because clearly he has no business being a cop. It might take a little bit, but most of us agree that he's all done.
On a personal note, I have been with the BPD for well over a decade now and I sincerely believe the quality of the people becoming police officers has detiorated in the last few years. I'm not sure if it's the protests that discouraged qualified applicants from going through with it, or the increasing assaults in the country on law enforcement, or what exactly is happening. It's getting scary, people who have no business becoming cops are getting our job and I think stories like these are going to become more common.

Recruitment problems
By SamWack on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 10:05am.
So you're saying that public intolerance for criminal actions by cops is leading to difficulties in recruiting cops not prone to such actions?
I suppose it's not entirely implausible. If cops get away with killing innocent civilians, which is what happens in most of those cases, a certain kind of low-life will probably see that and say, "wow, that's the job for me. You can get away with anything. If somebody scares you, you can kill them, and you get a few days off with pay. If that's true, you probably get away with a lot of other things too."
I thought someone would would
I thought someone would would jump on that.
Recruiting all kinds of cops. So with a shortage of recruits in general, a lot of mediocre candidates have been slipping through the cracks during the background checks and allowed into the academy.
This is happening nationwide. Everyone from NPR to Fox News has written about this, with NPR specifically mentioning the protests.
https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675505052/shortage-of-officers-fuels-poli...
No he is saying people like SamWack can't handle it.
People like you can comment on the internet with no name and never have to make a difficult (or simple) decision on anything involving things police are forced to deal with. It is quite nice actually, I don't blame you, you can call people killers and racists, and never have to deal with a situation that involves race or violence. Good for you.
Is everybody required to lick
By ZachAndTired on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 11:34am.
Is everybody required to lick your boots?
Although if that is all you have that is pretty pathetic. People like you are the reason we have Trump as president.
If you want to have a serious conversation, ask yourself why you couldn't be a police officer. I know the answer, and it probably makes you feel real small knowing that.
Ah yes, that classic Trump
Ah yes, that classic Trump voter who also doesn't respect the police.
This was a serious conversation
Then you came along with your I AM COP BLAH BLAH BLAH THUG BLAH ME IMPORTANT!!!!!

By ZachAndTired on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 7:09pm.
No, this stopped being a serious conversation when you went on your self important rant about how hard and dangerous your job is and everybody needs to respect you. Everybody has a hard job and police work isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the average cop advertises it to be. Garbage men are 8 times more likely to get killed on the job. Just because you were a C student in high school and decided to be a professional bully doesn't mean anybody has to kiss your feet. Get over yourself, you entitled jackass.
Never said anything about danger or respect.
By Pete Nice on Sat, 02/09/2019 - 9:09am.
And you always seem to be stuck on that for some reason. Face it, it hurts you to know why you wouldn't do the job either. You couldn't handle it. And probably not because of the "violence" you seem obsessed with. 99% of the job is dealing with people, and I bet people don't like you or respect you.
Hey, I make about 5X as much in real estate than I do working in the public sector, and I would bet my kids lives that I got better grades than you and went to better colleges after that.
Keep on being the internet hero, and yes, it is because of people like you (white man you brags on the internet) why Trump got elected. Because people don't like you and you know it. And it hurts.

By ZachAndTired on Sat, 02/09/2019 - 11:49am.
Face it, it hurts you to know why you wouldn't do the job either. You couldn't handle it.
Why do you keep saying things like this? I don't want to do your job, because I don't believe in your objective or your methods. Like I said before, everybody has a hard job. What difference does it make whether I could do your job or not? You probably couldn't do mine either. I have a masters degree and I'm one of the least educated people on my team. Who gives a shit? That doesn't make what I do noble and the fact that you also have a difficult job doesn't entitle you to the lionization that you think everybody owes you. GET OVER YOURSELF.
Nice deflection
By SwirlyGrrl on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 7:41pm.
Didn't work, though.
Your comment was intended to derail the conversation about accountability. You will deny it, in a testalying sort of copsplaining way, but it is the truth.
Accountability to the citizenry is important. You are merely underscoring exactly why it is important with your little slimy conman rhetorical tricks.
You are the biggest trick on this site. And sadly you are the only one who doesn't realize it yet.
9 Upvotes for that nonsense?
9 upvotes for that paragraph of nonsense I just read? seriously?
"If cops get away with killing innocent civilians, which is what happens in most of those cases..."
This is what people are getting out the (anti-police, soft on criminals) agenda being pushed by the (mainstream) media since around 2014 or so, and now they have heard it so many times, they come on small websites and post it themselves as fact! It's brainwashing, and I feel bad for the disillusioned souls who live their lives and form opinions based on what the news tells them is "true".
Nonetheless, fire this idiot who doesn't know how to properly secure a firearm.
You think people just started hating cops in 2014???

By PeterGriffith5 on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 4:49pm.
Thanks for your comprehensive answers.
Regarding your observations about the quality of new police recruits. I'm old enough to have interacted with Police since the 1970's. My purely anecdotal impressions are that the overall the quality of police is much better than officers who were hired in the 50;s and 60's. Today there is much more more and bettter training as well an overall commitment to officers thinking about how they interact with civilians.
Having said that I met some great cops (WWII and Korean War vets) back in the day, and have also met some present day cops who have power issues and don't belong in the job. Given your repsonses (and Pete Nice's regular responses), I can easily imagine that you;re one of the good guys.
You are right Peter....
Probably up until the 1980's, police violence was pretty bad. I heard stories of cops just punching people in booking, on the street or lots of other places for various reasons. Then there was the corruption as well. Probably less than 10% of the cops had college degrees, and the pay wasn't great either.
Although you still see it (corruption and violence) at some level, you never see the things that I heard about in the 1970s.
Oh, I can answer one of these

Apparently our understanding of Florida Man's psyche and behavior stems from observation bias. Florida laws make police arrest records much more easily available online, which makes Florida a rich trove for reporters looking for bizarre human interest stories. Florida Man... he's a lot like you and me.

Florida laws make police arrest records much more easily available online
Say what you will about Florida, but there's another reason it's called the Sunshine State: Florida has some of the most liberal public records access laws in the nation. It's very easy to get records of all types from government agencies there. They are a model for the rest of the country in that regard.

Massachusetts ranks among the lowest states in the nation when it comes to giving its citizens access to records [...]

On Cops
By Kapil on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 9:52am.
Some cops are very blue collar with families and they stay in line with the typical prole values. Others are pretty much small-time criminals that have obtained a gun and badge.... roided-out meatheads, habitual #metoo violaters, etc. The female cops are the rough-around-the-edges types that prefer to date guys like this. Pretty much all cops are rough customers when they want to be.
This is how it has to be in our society. You aren't going to have an effective police force with craft beer drinking yuppie Bros that work in Finance or vegetarians posting on the internet about child laborers harvesting cocoa in Nigeria.
How much do you really want to punish a dog for peeing on the rug? Give the guy a week suspension without pay for being careless. Any more punishment and we are compromising the effectiveness of the police.

I-TEAM REPORT 2011
Back in the day the I-Team did a story on a Transit cop who used his police car to transport strippers and hookers to their destinations. When one of the customers refused to pay the officer mailed him dead rats which somehow got sent to the Milton Hospital which was forced to shut down as a hazards scare. The officer was never charged with a crime nor disciplined. He did resign later as his other job as a pimp paid better.
Well I think
By Luke Warm on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 11:52am.
as long as Officer Redacted didn't give that young women her black eye (which he is apparently not accused of), then he should just be slapped on the wrist. A big, painful, shaming slap, yes, but he should be allowed to retrain to be a police officer, with particular attention to the risks he undertook that he was apparently too dumb to mitigate, and, as well, some sensitivity and awareness training about the social and emotional stressors of the population he engaged to "hang out" with.

Slap on the wrist? Haha. Police,Doctors,Nurses,construction,etc are jobs you can't be careless in. Had they not been caught that gun would've eventually been used on someone. Firing him will in no way change people wanting to be cops but there's too many idiots in the police force. As far as the quality of police that depends on who you ask. I've had more cops than I can count tell me about how so n so is planning to do harm to me or a family member and how they "don't give a shit". This was in my early teens longgg time ago lol. There's also been times that bpd has watched a guy or two getting ready to shoot someone n didn't do anything until after the shooting. Before the "cop hater" comments roll in I don't hate police or even dislike them even tho I've had some bad experiences with them. I've met great people who are cops/c.o.'s.

The ADEX (Aerospace and Defence Exhibition) takes place at the Sinchonri (K-16) Air Base East of Seoul and serves mainly as a showcase for the local defence industry. It is one of the few chances to see Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) jets in the air and take a closer look at them on the ground.
On the first day the official opening ceremony with high-ranking military ranks and officials takes place and is highlighted by a big formation fly-by of several RoKAF aircraft.
Starting with a CN-235 and six KT-1 trainer aircraft a similar composition of a C-130 Hercules with six KA-1 light attack aircraft followed. The parade was concluded with 5-ship formations of fast jets: F-15K Slam Eagle, (K)F-5 Tiger II and (K)F-16 Fighting Falcon flew by, the latter two trailing a huge veil of blue, red and yellow, thus representing the Korean-style "Sam-Taegeuk", which stands for the relation between heaven, earth and humanity.
The RoKAF was furthermore proud and strong to show solo displays of their aircraft, namely the KAI KT-1 Woongbi turboprop training aircraft and T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic advanced trainer and future multirole fighter.
Frontline aircraft were represented by solo displays of a KF-16D Fighting Falcon as well as the F-15K Slam Eagle. Though not as dynamic compared to some other jet displays, both jets gave some nice opportunities to get decent photos during their routine which did deserve many thanks due to their rareness.
The stars in the sky were of course the local heroes, RoKAF's display "Black Eagles". Adorned with a gorgeous high-contrast scheme in white/black/yellow that fits very well to their T-50 Golden Eagle jets, the 8-ship formation in the sky above Seoul was certainly a show- and business stopper. Their display routine for sure does not have to fear the competition of other comparable display teams and their pilots were treated as heroes during their autograph session after having completed their display. It was a nice sight indeed and it would be nice to see them one day in the sky around Europe!
All this was completed by a very extensive static display presenting the large variety of different aircraft types in the RoKAF. This was completed by a small selection of civil aircraft, clearly showing where the focal point of the Seoul airshow is to be found.
Disregarding the airshow flying it was of course also of interest to see the regular traffic at Sinchonri, mainly home of the VIP-transport wing flying many different assets such as the newly acquired S-92 helicopters up to the B-747 for overseas visits. Not to neglect were also the Raytheon Hawker 800SIG aircraft, which were sometimes seen departing for or returning from a mission. Combined with the airshow this aircraft traffic made up for an excellent presentation of the variety of this highly efficient Air Force.
In the far end of the apron three propeller aircraft from the 1950s/60s could also be seen. Fortunately they were not in a derelict condition, but quite well preserved and their gloss coat shimmered in the sun.
Apart from the high Korean presence the PACAF did also support the show and demonstrated their strong presence in this region by showing the solo demos of the A-10 Thunderbolt II as well as the F-16 from Misawa, Japan. A seperated area on the ground furthermore presented some US hardware in the static display as well as some local traffic of the US Army could be observed.
The AH-64D Apache helicopter was one of the very few items presented by the industry in the flying display. Though borrowed from the US Army it was flown by a Boeing crew in order to enhance sales to South Korea.
Last but not least the same goes for the KUH Surion (Korean Utility Helicopter), developed by KAI with the strong support of Eurocopter. Planned to be adopted by the Korean Army a white painted example was presented during the flight display.

The common language of all layout tools is the Gerber format.
If there is no native way for layout transfer, you can always use Gerber file format (preferred: RS274X "Extended Gerber"). This will create multiple files: one file for each copper layer, and another file for each via/drill layer.
From the ADS layout windows, you can then import the Gerber files. Have a look at the ADS online help on this topic, and try with a simple example first, to get a feeling for the import procedure. Good luck!

Today I'm just hanging out with my favorite Golden Girls- Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose. (If you know who they are, we can totally be best buds!) For me, in the midst of the summer heat, there's nothing better than watching reruns of The Golden Girls while eating chips and lychee sorbet, with a glass of sweet tea in my hand . . . but until I can kick up my heels and relax, I'm just gonna sport this awesome t-shirt as I run a few errands.
If you're a fan like me, you know how amazing this Golden Girls tee is. And can you believe that I purchased it at Macy's in the young men's department? Yes, in the young men's department! I don't even think teenage boys know who these ladies are, let alone, wear them on a t-shirt, but I definitly felt as if I hit the jackpot that day. I decided to style it with cropped jeans and a pair of rose gold heels. For a bit of sass, I glammed this look up with statement earrings, gold rings, and a pair of retro-inspired sunnies. Finally, I threw on a blush blazer to polish off this casual chic ensemble because nothing says sophisticated like a blazer. I don't know why or how, but a blazer can elevate any casual look in an instant.
Well, that's today's ootd! Let me know in the comments below if you're a Golden Girls fan because I'd love to know and chat about our favorite episodes. However, if you have never watched it, you must give it a try! Blanche's charm, Dorothy's wit and sarcasm, Rose's optimism and good heartedness, and Sophia's sassy remarks are all woven into beautiful stories of the friendship between these four ladies. I promise that it will touch your heart and keep you rolling on the floor laughing. So, until my next post, stay golden fashionistas! And as always, I'm sending you all lots of love from my heart to yours!
Hi Biki! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I have been absent from the social media scene as well, but I am happy that I'm starting to create new content. Also, I LOVED your latest outfit post! So chic!
What a stunning look darling! Love everything about this look!
Thank you so much, Len, for your lovely comment! I love your style!
You look absolutely amazing!!! Love this look on you babe!
You are such a sweetheart! Thank you, Natassia!

I bought my first camera at age 11 with my pocket money.
Unfortunately I soon found out that the price of a film roll and the price of developing the photos was more expensive than the camera itself.
After that I almost forgot completely about shooting and working with film.
In 2007 I bought a small digital camera and started to get interested in shooting photos and editing them on my computer.
I bought my first raw editing camera in 2011 and also started to work with models.
The main themes of my work are model photography, abstract architecture and kinetic scenery.


Should equality be valued as the highest ideal?
Casting my eye over the blogs as is my now occasional dirty pleasure I stumbled upon a whole closet full of articles about feminism and abortion. As I read the entry above by Alex and the intensity of the comments following in favour of equality; I couldn't help but be put in mind of Nietzsche. Fairly unsuprising as he is my personal favourite philosopher, but in this case his thoughts are particularly interesting.
Nietzsche detested communism precisely because of its emphasis on equlity as the highest ideal, he believed that to force everyone to become equal would crush individuality and destroy that which is essential for greatness and excellence in all fields – namely difference. His argument runs roughly that the great artists, the great musicians, great statesmen; the heros in every field are known as heros because they were outstanding people. In other words they were not equal, they were not the same, they were, to use a loaded vocabulary, superior.
Slave morality begins in a ressentiment that turns creative and gives birth to values. (Ressentiment was a term coined by Nietzsche to describe the feeling of the weak, unhealthy and ugly towards those who have fared better in life.) The slave regards the virtues of beauty, power, strength and wealth as 'evil' in an act of revenge against those who have them in abundance. (On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay, Section 10) Slave morality is therefore a reactionary morality because 'good' does not spring creatively from the individual but develops as a negation of the values of the powerful. The noble person conceives of goodness first and later determines what is 'bad' while the slave conceives of 'evil' first and fashions his own conception of 'good' in opposition to this.
For Nietzsche, equality is an ideal of the slave morality, and here I must bring up an important point that is often lost, Nietzsche does not condemn the slave morality as wholly bad and the master morality as wholly good. He is often misinterpreted as doing so as he argues points against the dominant christian morality of his (and arguably our) time. For Nietzsche though the ideal of equality was one of the worst of these slave morality values because it directly attacked the noble morality which he believed was sometimes necessary for the advancement and survival of the human race.
And isn't Nietzsche right to say that we need leaders? We need heroes? We need the great and noble among us? As members of the herd we may dislike them but everywhere we look we see societies organised in pyramids – from the most basic tribal structures to the political and economic structures of today. Just as the herd needs the great the great also needs the herd or what is he able to measure his greatness against?
Even the great thinkers of equality engels and Marx were unable to think up what a society might look like without pyramids, no clear description for the communist utopia ever appeared in their writings – all the socialist parties, commities and such like that Marx was a member of had leaders and Marx himself has clearly become a hero and Icon of equality. Which of marx's devotees wouldn't have taken a bullet to save the life of the great man?
All difficult and interesting questions for someone who want to defend the ideal of equality at all costs.

1. Less abnormal uterine bleeding with dabigatran than warfarin in women treated for acute venous thromboembolism
Less abnormal uterine bleeding with dabigatran than warfarin in women treated for acute venous thromboembolism Essentials Factor Xa inhibitors cause more abnormal menstrual bleeding (AUB) than vitamin-K antagonists (VKA). We analyzed data of AUB in women, evaluating dabigatran versus VKA. We observed a 41% lower risk of AUB in women on dabigatran compared to those on VKA. Our findings of lower AUB risk on dabigatran should be corroborated in future studies.Introduction Although direct oral (...) anticoagulants (DOACs) are associated with a better safety profile than warfarin in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), direct factor Xa inhibitors involve a higher risk of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). We aimed to determine the risk of AUB during anticoagulation with dabigatran compared with warfarin. Methods Post-hoc analysis of the pooled RE-COVER studies and the RE-MEDY trial.

Dabigatran in patients with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MANAGE): an international, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) increases the risk of cardiovascular events and deaths, which anticoagulation therapy could prevent. Dabigatran prevents perioperative venous thromboembolism, but whether this drug can prevent a broader range of vascular complications in patients with MINS is unknown. The MANAGE trial assessed the potential (...) of dabigatran to prevent major vascular complications among such patients.In this international, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, we recruited patients from 84 hospitals in 19 countries. Eligible patients were aged at least 45 years, had undergone non-cardiac surgery, and were within 35 days of MINS. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive dabigatran 110 mg orally twice daily or matched placebo for a maximum of 2 years or until termination of the trial and, using a partial 2-by-2 factorial

9. Bleeding-related hospital admissions and 30-day readmissions in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran versus warfarin
Bleeding-related hospital admissions and 30-day readmissions in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran versus warfarin Essentials Bleeding is a common cause of hospital admission and readmission in oral anticoagulant users. Patients with dabigatran and warfarin were included to assess hospital admission risk. Dabigatran users had a higher risk of 30-day readmission with bleeding than warfarin users. Close monitoring following hospital discharge for dabigatran (...) -related bleeding is warranted.Background Reducing 30-day hospital readmission is a policy priority worldwide. Warfarin-related bleeding is among the most common cause of hospital admissions as a result of adverse drug events. Compared with warfarin, dabigatran achieves a full anticoagulation effect more quickly following its initiation; hence it may lead to early-onset bleeds.

Citizens may join Wilmington audit panel
The people who currently review Wilmington's audits are city employees.
Christina Jedra
Audits of Wilmington's city government are intended to examine the city's effectiveness and efficiency -- but the committee members who review those audits are city employees.
City Councilman Bud Freel wants to change that.
"It creates a conflict of interest," he said.
Freel sponsored an ordinance to restructure the audit review committee.
The group now has seven members, all of whom are city officials: the administrative assistant to the mayor, the finance director, the budget director, the chair of the City Council finance committee, the City Council chief of staff or a designee, one member of council appointed by the president and the city treasurer.
Freel is proposing a five-member committee: a member of the public appointed by the mayor to be the chairperson, the chair of the City Council finance committee, a City Council member appointed by the president and two members of the public appointed by the president.
The city auditing department examines the city's internal control systems. Audits in recent years include reviews of the police and fire departments, one of parking meters and another of city credit card usage.
The appointed members of the public will require the "skills necessary to oversee the technical and complex financial reporting and audit process," the ordinance states. It suggests certified public accountants, certified internal auditors and those holding a master's degree in business administration. Those public members may not be city employees, engaged in a city contract nor holding or seeking public office, the ordinance states.
Wilmington audits to be posted online
The public members should live in the city, but if no qualified or willing candidates are identified, members may live within New Castle County, the ordinance states.
None of the audit review positions are paid, said Freel, who is chair of the finance committee.
If the legislation is passed, the chairperson will serve a term of five years. The other two members of the public would serve for three years.
Freel said the idea to overhaul the committee came up during a peer review by The Association of Local Government Auditors.
City Auditor Earl T. Jeter declined to comment about the legislation.
Jeter said last month that new audit reports will be published in full online within the next six months.
Freel said a fresh review committee is "another step in trying to be more transparent."

Oceania. Courtesy of Musée du Quai Branly
Not a single exhibition anywhere in the world has encompassed the cultures of Oceania in their entirety for thirty-five years. Oceania pays homage - two hundred and fifty years after the first voyage of James Cook in the Pacific - to the artistic creations of a continent composed of 25,000 islands. In bringing together 170 works from public and private collections, featuring several masterpieces that have never previously been Artwork to the general public, the exhibition charts the history, from Antiquity to the contemporary era, of a corpus of art that serves as a custodian of traditions and identities that have been shaken by trade, colonisation and forced evangelism.
Across this vast, scattered territory, in which each archipelago, island and land has managed to preserve its own unique characteristics, artists nonetheless share universal questions, issues and reflections.
Featuring painstakingly sculpted canoes, jade ornaments, ritual figures and contemporary videos and installations, Oceania reveals how tradition and ancestral memory coexist with the visionary and sometimes critical perspective that these artists have of their society and the rest of the world.
Research towards this exhibition was supported by a research grant, 'Pacific Presences: Oceanic art and European museums', which received funding from the European Research Council (ERC).
Exhibition organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London, with the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology of Cambridge.
Located on the banks of the Seine at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac strives to give full measure of the importance of the Arts and Civilizations of Africa, Asia, Oceania and Americas, at the crossroads of multiple cultural, religious and historical influences.

If you're somebody that likes wagering, then the times have never been better. Today you may play black jack, craps, or even live roulette without ever leaving the comfort of your own home! Online casinos have affected the wagering world greatly, starting with the benefit they provide. Another way online casinos have influenced betting, nevertheless, is the fact that today casinos are battling for one's business in an unprecedented way.
Online casinos have grown to be especially notable within the last decade. Due to their fast development, however, it has made a market where you can find too many internet casinos and not enough players. Thus, to be able to draw your business in, internet casinos have begun providing great offers to attract customers. Often the best way to access these deals is through using casino bonus codes, which you'll find if you are looking in the right spot.
Casino bonus codes consist of a promotional code which you can use once you make a deposit in an online casino. The promotions associated with them could be big incentives to help you get to gamble. For instance, a casino may offer to pay a bonus onto virtually any deposit you make with them if you use their own casino bonus codes. Sometimes their bonus could be upwards of 20%, which can be a nice addition to any deposit you make. Additional casinos offer the capacity to throw out a loss if you use their bonus codes. Put simply, you can trade in your promotion to be able to eliminate any loss (and the financial deficit associated with it) out of your account. The range of promotional offers out there is truly astonishing. You just need to know where you can search for the codes.
Numerous internet casinos will not offer promotional codes worth having right on the main page of the web site. The actual purpose of these promotional codes is usually to draw clients into visiting your site. You must remember that each and every time a casino enables you to use a promotional code, they risk losing a certain amount of money. Thus, they will be judicious with how much access they provide to casino bonus codes. If you are already on their site, it's most likely not worth wasting a promotional offer on you that's meant to attract you to their website.
Therefore, you may have to search somewhere else to locate casino bonus codes for your favorite online casino. Often, if you simply search for the name of the casino and also something about special offers into Google (or even the search engine that you pick), you'll come up with several results. Make certain you are using a reputable source to get your codes and never pay another website for casino promotional codes. These codes are always offered free by the casino and if someone else is trying to get you to pay for them, they're basically trying to swindle you. Once you enter the promotional code in at the website of interest is the true test of the validity. If it works you're all ready to begin betting!

Jeff Broomfield, on the deck of his Watts Pond Road home, says he is worried about the future of the area's drinking water supply. Vincent Ball / The Expositor
PARIS Jeff Broomfield has a scenic view from the deck of his Watts Pond Road home, just outside of Paris.
The view extends from a heavily forested area to a farm field. In the distance, he can see the Sobeys grocery store in Paris.
"Over there, beyond those trees, is a gravel pit and that farmer's field has been sold to become a housing development," Broomfield said. "Then there's this green space, a wetland right behind me.
"I'm on a well system and I really wonder how this development and future developments will affect my drinking water supply."
That's the same question Broomfield and about 300 Brant County residents had back in 2012 when they learned about Dufferin Aggregates plan to extract gravel and wash the extracted product on a 600-acre site straddling Watts Pond Road.
At that time, residents were worried the operation would be so disruptive that atrazine, a herbicide previously used on nearby farms, would be disturbed and seep into the groundwater. contaminating the local drinking supply. Enlisting the help of the Canadian Environmental Law Association, Broomfield and a group call Concerned Citizens of Brant County, were able to contest the proposals and have their issues addressed.
The association is the only legal clinic that works to protect the public and the environment on behalf of low-income and vulnerable communities across Ontario. It is one of several legal clinics that saw its provincial government funding cut as a result of last April's Ontario budget.
The association, like other community clinics is funded by Legal Aid Ontario. The government cut Legal Aid Ontario's funding by about 30 per cent in its April budget. Legal Aid Ontario, in turn, cut the funding it provides to community legal clinics across the province.
As a result of the cutbacks, the association this year, will lose $239,000 of its $1.5 million in provincial funding it receives through Legal Aid Ontario. Next year, the cut will be in effect for the association's full fiscal year and will amount to $478,000.
Broomfield said he wonders what that will mean for citizens' groups, such as Concerned Citizens of Brant.
"They represented us during a lengthy environmental review tribunal hearing in relation to a proposed gravel pit operation," Broomfield said "Without CELA'S assistance, we could not have mounted a case to ensure the issue of drinking water protection was thoroughly considered at the hearing.
"With CELA's help we were able to win precedent-setting protections for drinking water sources and created awareness where there was none before."
The tribunal ultimately decided in favour of the gravel company but Broomfield said CELA's work was important.
"Citizens need to be able to have their concerns addressed and they need a group like CELA to do that," he said. "Without proper funding, the law association's ability to help out groups like ours will be greatly diminished."
"Right now, we're looking at a major housing development on Pinehurst Road, we have the gravel pit and there's another development slated for the (former) Paris golf course," Broomfield said. "That's a lot going on and there will be roads built to accommodate all of it.
"All of that's going to put pressure on the groundwater supply and I wonder how we can be assured that everything is being done properly."
Without the help of CELA, residents face hiring their own lawyers to contest developments that might have an environmental impact, said Broomfield.
But Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma questioned the concerns raised by Broomfield.
"It sounds like fear mongering to me," he said.
Bouma said all levels of government pay close attention to drinking water.
"It has been that way since Walkerton," he said, referring to the contamination of Walkerton's water supply in 2000, which resulted in six deaths and more than 2,000 people becoming ill.
Bouma defended the government's decision to reduce funding to legal aid, noting costs were going up disproportionately to the number of cases being handled.
The costs had to be brought in line to ensure legal aid continues to be available for those who truly need it and to make sure Ontario taxpayers are getting the best value for their money, said the MPP.
Theresa McClenaghan, executive director and counsel at CELA, said lawyers at the clinic often have represented groups of Ontarians, in addition to individuals, whose problems are symptomatic of wider environmental concerns.
It is common for CELA to help organizations, such as Concerned Citizens of Brant, as well as First Nations communities, she said.
"Environmental problems, such as air pollution, drinking water safety, contaminated lands, the location of landfill sites and climate change disproportionately impact poor and vulnerable populations," McClenaghan said. "That's why CELA is so important to communities across the province.
"We remain focused on, and committed to, our priority mission – seeking justice for those harmed by environmental pollution and advocating to advance policies for the betterment of the environment."

I am a Recovering Self-Hating Asian:
How American Media Warped my Opinions on my Community
– Me begging my parents to let me play my "Blues Clues" game, resonating with media very early on in my life.
During Labor Day weekend, I saw "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in theaters. Like many Asian Americans, remembering how big of an impact "Black Panther" had on the Black community, I was nervous about having high expectations as I entered the theater. I walked out with my expectations blown away. It was so jarring to see "Shang-Chi" represent such nuanced cultural aspects of Asian American life on the big screen, without being overly stereotypical or alienating to the non-Asian audience. In that moment, I felt so proud of being Asian American. Unfortunately, pride for my race was only something I'd began to feel in recent times, because the media I consumed growing up was a very different experience.
In the early 2000s when I was just a kid, mainstream media was still predominantly white-centric. The stereotypes of Asians being the nerds who can't get a date were still widely strengthened by movies and TV shows. The main cast of high school teenagers would seldom have an Asian representative, and, at most, have a side character with a couple of one-liners that only perpetuated the stereotypes. Thinking back now, whether or not my peers had been influenced by the media, it had defined the perceptions I had of myself and my fellow Asians at large, without me even realizing it. I had always been easily influenced by media growing up; from growing my hair out like Anakin Skywalker to being obsessed with suits because of Barney Stinson. And with over a decade's worth of media taken in, it's not a surprise that what I considered life "should be like" became the white-dominant culture that was portrayed on the big screens.
– The influences of media on me were very clear growing up, as I would want to dress up as whatever I saw on the big screen.
Before I dive deeper, I want to preface by saying that my childhood was a good one. Many Asians have had to live through levels of racism that I've never even come close to experiencing. I wasn't ever bullied outside of some mutual teasing amongst friends and I got along with most of my classmates. At worst, people would say my full name "Shane Shen Kuo" with a racist accent as a greeting. I would also receive perfect scores on the weekly math quiz, only to hear classmates dismiss my accomplishments by saying "Oh, Asian". This reaction was common, despite my parents being artists that failed their math classes in college and are the furthest thing from tiger parents. These types of microaggressions were the extent of the racism I had to deal with. But microaggressions cut after a while.
I remember standing at a bus stop with classmates when one pointed out, "Your nose isn't great, it's too flat." This led me to spend countless nights massaging, pinching, and pulling my nose in an attempt to sharpen, or "fix", it. I remember a student trip to Barcelona where I and my non-Asian classmates sat around a lunch table eagerly sharing our knowledge on adult film actresses, but when my turn came to name one, I was skipped over. No one seemed to care or notice, so I decided to ignore it and continued to laugh along, but I'll never forget the feeling. The feeling of realizing that, when it came to anything romantic or sexual, Asians didn't belong.
Even if microaggressions hurt sometimes, to my teenage eyes, it was just "how things were" and it only made me assimilate more. Eventually, trying to not be the typical Asian stereotypes became a major driver for my personality:
"Asians are shy and not social" — I became a social butterfly.
"Asians are the 'model minority'" — I became the rebel.
"Asians are pushovers" — I became the pusher.
In a lot of ways, I succeeded in doing what many Asian Americans are taught to do, which is assimilate into the dominant culture. But during my quarantine over the pandemic, I've had ample time to reflect on my childhood, and I've come to realize that it was BECAUSE I assimilated so well that I had become what many in the Asian community refer to as a "self-hating Asian".
Since the 10th grade, I've repeated the same excuse when matchmaking friends attempted to pair me with Asian counterparts. "I am not attracted to Asian girls." This line was something I would always say when the topic of relationships came up. The worst part was that I would say it with a sense of pride, as if me being an Asian and feeling this way would prove how worthy I am of fitting into white culture. Just thinking about it now makes me repulsed at myself. But at the time, I truly didn't find Asians to be attractive. In my mind, it was like being Asian instantly put you below every other race when it came to looks. When people asked why, I would give reasonings like "they aren't social enough for me to connect with them" or "they're never inviting towards me". All of which were just excuses because I hadn't realized the truth about how I felt about my race. It wasn't till the end of high school when I was dating an Asian girl, that I learned it wasn't right of me to put all Asian girls into a box (and yes, aware of the meta-irony of this in retrospect). Even then, however, I didn't consider why I felt the way I did originally.
Of course, I didn't just feel this way about Asian women; I felt the same about Asian men, especially myself. I remember staring in the mirror every morning, thinking about how unattractive I was solely because I was Asian, internalizing that "this is the way it was" and that there was very little I could do about it.
The scariest part of being conditioned to think less of yourself just because of your race is that you'll also feel the same towards others of your race as well.
I never wanted to admit it at the time, but because I felt I was unattractive simply for being Asian, I never felt any of my Asian guy friends were attractive either. I remember 6 of my Asian friends heading to a Bar Mitzvah, all in suits, walking down the street feeling like we were dashing young men taking over the town. For a moment, I had forgotten about how big the pond was, and when the pond was just us, I felt at ease with myself. But the second we walked into the party, I saw dozens of our non-Asian classmates all dressed up, dancing and chitchatting, and that feeling immediately went away. After that day, I continued to feel like we were all doomed to live an uphill battle when it came to finding love in America.
It wasn't just the people that I had mentally pushed away; it was also the culture. I visited Taiwan every year with my family. While I was there, we would do all kinds of cultural activities with our extended family that lived there; gambling with dice on Lunar New Year in our chi pao, visiting temples to pray, and eating shark fin soup and stinky tofu. My mom used to drop me off at a bookstore in Taipei, and I would spend hours looking at all the manga there. I remember feeling so safe at the moment, not a single worry about what other Americans might think. But when I got back home to New York, I felt the need to hide those experiences from my friends. I would convince myself that I was above doing these "Asian" activities. I would tell stories to my cousins about all the crazy things we got up to in America. Parties that last to 3 am, late-night loitering on the streets; anything to show how cool us "Americans" were.
It's clear to me now that it was less so to show how American I was, but more so to show how I was not like them; how I was not Asian.
– Lunar New Year dinner – Taiwan 1999
Thinking back on it all now, I am truly filled with guilt and regret. I feel guilty for dismissing and undermining my people for so long; for thinking so lowly of them, as if me trying to run away from my roots made me superior. To automatically dismiss getting to know a girl romantically just because of her race. To hang with my closest Asian friends day after day, talking them up when deep inside I felt we were all the bottom of the barrel. I was no better than the racists screaming at us to "go back to our country".
I regret not seeing how amazing all my cultural experiences were. Most of all, I regret not being able to feel proud of those experiences; to let them define me and have them be more than memories I hid in a box. Fortunately, after graduating college and separating myself from the student body, I've gotten the chance to feel more comfortable in my skin and find tons of ways to connect with my culture. I've incorporated many cultural aspects of day-to-day living that my parents do, such as making tea every day in a more traditional Asian manner or listening to music with Mandarin vocals. I am no longer afraid to wear Asian-inspired apparel. Over quarantine, I was moved to run a fundraiser for AAPI communities that were suffering during COVID by selling merchandise online to a niche video game community I'm a part of, which managed to raise over $6500 in two months. It took months of planning, ideating merchandise designs, and networking within the community before launch, and I had to do it all on my own within the confines of my apartment due to COVID. It took a lot out of me, but the amount of positive feedback and kind messages I got from fellow Asian Americans made me feel more included in our community more than ever before. The teenager I was would've never even considered putting any effort into supporting the AAPI community, let alone solo-run the campaign. Despite incredibly horrible circumstances, the state of the world gave me the chance to prove to myself that I have fundamentally changed from the self-hating Asian I had been to someone confident enough to love his roots despite what society has tried to make him believe.
– Kind words about the fundraiser from various people, many of which were Asian American.
So after "Shang-Chi", I walked home thinking about how different my life would be if this movie came out when I was a kid. I would have felt the same pride in my culture I feel now, be able to walk into a classroom with my non-Asian peers having a better understanding of my culture after also seeing the blockbuster hit. Who knows, maybe my flat-nose-hating Caucasian friend would have dressed up as Shang-Chi for Halloween. Maybe his little brother will do it this year.
Movies like this make sure younger generations can feel comfortable in their own skin; by sharing and listening to authentic stories we can feel more represented and heard.
With society interacting online non-stop, the forms of media have evolved and become more accessible than ever before; so we need to make sure the content doesn't repeat the same mistakes of the past. That's why I felt the need to write about my story — so people can see the inner cultural identity struggle of an Asian man, something not nearly represented enough in media even today. I know mental health can be very taboo to discuss so openly in our community, but it's the lack of discussion that keeps the flames of identity crises in our community alive. Our people came to this country for new opportunities, but what's the point if we lose who we are in the process?

PHOENIX // May 20, 2014 – Psychobilly rockers THE LIMIT CLUB released their video for "When You Burn (You're Gonna Scream)" today exclusively via New Noise Magazine. Directed by Jeff Niemoller and Ryan Hale, their fourth music video has brought them to new levels of experimentation and creative filming. "When You Burn (You're Gonna Scream)" is the first single off their upcoming EP The Wild Four which is to be released via digital retailers and on vinyl this August.
The inspiration for the song came from self-loathing and anxiety. "I like the idea of a person with a dissociative identity or multiple personalities battling with their various consciousnesses, silencing the unfavorable voices one by one until there is a sole personality in control," said vocalist Nick Feratu. "I like songs that deal with the Apocalypse and death… I don't write love songs." They worked with Jeff Niemoller for their "Condemned Vessel" music video last year, and decided to give him full creative control for the latest project.
The Wild Four EP will be the latest release from The Limit Club since their last studio album, This Is Cutthroat Business in 2011. "People can expect a new Limit Club. This is the first outing with Monty O'Blivion on saxophone and guitar," said Feratu. They officially added O'Blivion to their lineup in after he assisted with post-production of Cutthroat Business. In addition to releasing the EP through digital retailers the band decided to run a limited press of 7" vinyl. "It's something we've never done before… much like the songs on the record, we thought it's only fitting to do something new with the album release. People are collecting vinyl again and we wanted to jump into the vinyl game," they noted. As bassist NickDave said, "It's artistic and dramatic. It reflects where we are currently in our career." The album is slated for release this August and can be pre-ordered at the band's website www.limitclub.com. Take a first look at the cover art below!
A staple of the Phoenix music scene, their touring has led them through multiple West Coast tours, a U.S. cross-country tour in 2011 and European tour in fall 2013. With three full-length independent records under their belt, including 2011's This Is Cutthroat Business, they've built a solid following from fans and critics alike. Formed in 2005, the band has developed their strongest lineup yet with Nick Feratu (lead vocals, guitar), NickDave (upright bass, vocals), Juan Carlos (vocals, drums) and Monty O'Blivion (guitar, vocals). Together, they've melded numerous influences together into their own sizzling-hot style.

Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche Großriedenthal steht etwas erhöht im Ort Großriedenthal in der Gemeinde Großriedenthal im Bezirk Tulln in Niederösterreich. Die auf den heiligen Lorenz geweihte Kirche – dem Stift Melk inkorporiert – gehört zum Dekanat Sitzendorf im Vikariat Unter dem Manhartsberg der Erzdiözese Wien. Das Kirchengebäude steht unter .

Geschichte
Eine Pfarre wurde 1265 urkundlich genannt. Der im Kern mittelalterliche Kirchenbau wurde als frühklassizistischer Bau von 1768 bis 1771 mit dem Maurermeister Johann Reitmayer nach den Plänen des Matthias Gerl (1712–1765) erbaut.

Architektur
Das Langhaus unter einem Walmdach und der stark eingezogene Chor sind an der Fassade mit vertikalen Putzfelder gegliedert. Die Ostfassade der gewesteten Kirche zeigt abgerundete Ecken und hat ein Korbbogenportal mit einer beschlagenen Eisentür mit seitlichen Flachbogenfenstern. Der Westturm am Chorhaupt – im Kern mittelalterlich – zeigt am Erdgeschoß eine Putzortsteinquadrierung, ein vermauertes Segmentbogenportal, und an den zwei Obergeschoßen Ecklisenen, Rechteckfenster und trägt einen spitzen Zwiebelhelm.

Ausstattung
Die Einrichtung ist einheitlich spätbarock. Der Hochaltar aus Stuckmarmor mit Halbsäulen und einem geschwungenen verkröpften Gebälk und einem gesprengten Giebel zeigt das Hochaltarblatt Marter des hl. Lorenz, gemalt von Martin Johann Schmidt (1769).

Die Orgel baute Gerhard Hradetzky (1982).

PBS Lesson Plan Teaches Kids to Sympathize with Radical Islamic Terrorism
Justin Haskins
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is home to Big Bird, Frontline, and other "programing made possible by viewers like you," including instructing teachers how to show kids to be more sympathetic to radical Islamic suicide bombers in Palestine. "Dying to be a Martyr" is the name of a lesson plan offered to students and teachers at no cost by PBS, a taxpayer-funded nonprofit, and some of the material seems to encourage students to learn to sympathize with radical Islamic terrorists.

Renewable Energy Myths Abound
Isaac Orr, Detroit News
Over the past year "alternative facts" and "fake news" have become regrettable buzzwords used to dismiss any viewpoint that does not support one's own preconceived notions. But when it comes to renewable energy, there truly are numerous myths that perpetuate throughout the media and culture that are not supported by any fair reading of the available data. Before we sacrifice our traditional sources of energy, we need to examine the alternatives closely and carefully. READ MORE

Give Medicaid Dollars Directly to Patients
Justin Haskins and Michael Hamilton, The Wall Street Journal
The GOP's recently benched health-care bill would have substantially reformed Medicaid by giving the states block grants, along with more flexibility on how to spend the money. But there's a better model. Republicans should empower Medicaid patients by providing funds to them directly, which would allow them to build a personal safety net that could last a lifetime. A $7,000 health savings account per year would save the government billions of wasted dollars while expanding personal choice. READ MORE

Scalia Probably Favored an Amendments Convention — But Does It Matter?
Rob Natelson, The Daily Caller
A majority of state legislatures have voted to trigger the U.S. Constitution's most important procedure for reforming the federal government. Advocates for this rely on a supportive statement made by the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in 1979, when he was still a law professor. Opponents counter with a 2014 statement they claim contradicts his earlier one. Was Scalia inconsistent? Did he change his mind after he became part of the government? Or, can these two statements be reconciled? The answer is: They probably can be reconciled – and in a way helpful to those supporting a convention. READ MORE
School Reform News: Congressional Republicans Introduce School Choice Bills
The May 2017 edition of School Reform News is available online in PDF format. In this edition, read about several new bills aiming to increase school choice that are now under consideration in Congress. These include the All Students Act, which would allot $14.5 billion for low-income students to attend a private or public school of their choice, and the Creating Hope and Opportunity for Individuals and Communities through Education Act (CHOICE), which would create grants for special-education school choice programs and provide aid to military families.

Analysis: Real Health Care Reforms Pass the 'Calendar Test'
Robert Graboyes, Health Care News
There's good reason debate the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and Republicans' attempts to repeal and replace ACA are so acrimonious. I call it the "Calendar Test" and outlined it recently. The Calendar Test is a thought experiment that asks whether a reform can improve some people's well-being without harming others, based on the time required to provide quality patient care. Proposals failing the test are merely redistributive – a zero-sum game with winners and losers. READ MORE
Wind Energy to Pay Own Way Under Proposed Oklahoma Budget

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) has proposed ending subsidies for wind-energy producers and instead taxing them to reduce the state's budget gap.

Depositing Ed Department in History's Trash Bin Would Boost U.S. Education
Robert Holland, Breitbart
Closing down the U.S. Education Department could be a snap compared to repealing and replacing Obamacare. A bill filed by libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on the day Betsy DeVos was confirmed as education secretary would start the beginning of the Education Department's deconstruction with just one wonderfully succinct sentence: "The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018." That is the entirety of Massie's bill. The contrast with hard-to-fathom legislation running hundreds or even thousands of pages is refreshing. READ MORE
Congress Must Rein in the Regulatory State
H. Sterling Burnett, Breaking Energy
Congress has done much to roll back the imperialist orders of former President Barack Obama, but to truly rein in the actions of unaccountable federal bureaucrats, they must pass laws reclaiming its constitutionally defined role as the sole creator of law. Congress can start with the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act, which targets abuses from the executive branch. A second wave of reform would include the Honest and Open New EPA Science Treatment Act of 2017, which would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing regulations based on science not transparent to the public.
