Metal Sucks CHRIS HOLMES: STILL CLEVER MACY GRAY IS THE NEW SINGER FOR VELVET REVOLVER
Hair Metal Happy Hour
CHRIS HOLMES: STILL CLEVER
May 24th, 2010 at 11:30am
As much as I love (most) hair metal and loathe (most) nu-metal, I do have to admit that there seems to be some unspoken ongoing competition between the two genres – not to see which one can sell the most records (I suspect that hair metal wins in that regard, given that those bands' reign lasted longer, and occurred in a purely pre-internet error), but, rather, which genre can ultimately embarrass itself more. And while you'd think that any genre that routinely invited DJs in the fold would pretty much win in a cakewalk, some days I really do think that, nope, hair metal has more idiots.
For example: remember when some former members of Snot tried to re-form that group even though Lynn Strait is dead, and then, when that didn't work out, they decided to reform under the name "Tons," which, all you Einsteins will surely notice, is just "Snot" spelled backwards? That was pretty dumb, right? It would be hard to imagine a stupider scenario in which former members of a famous band try to re-form under a different name, but are sure to choose one that lets everyone know their point of origin.
But if you can't imagine a stupider scenario, it's not because you're lacking in creativity; it's simply because you're not stupid enough. But Chris Holmes is stupid enough. He some other former members of W.A.S.P. have formed Where Angels Suffer, or – yep yep! – W.A.S.
They named their band "W.A.S." Just let that sink in for a minute.
I almost feel bad for these dudes who are so desperately clinging to the glories of their past just to put food on the table, but then again, this:

Risks To Watch | Blockchain Technology: Is it completely foolproof?
Blockchain Technology: Is it completely foolproof?
Speed and efficiency are two of the most important cornerstones of the financial industry. To execute transactions at brisk pace while harvesting innumerable amount of data— financial companies from time to time adopt disruptive technologies to streamline operations.
Algorithm trading-- those highly-advanced, automated but complex tools--allows traders to execute profitable trades at a lightning speed; cloud computing provides firms with ageing servers and networks, a disruptive model by facilitating shifting data from data centers to cloud, hosted by external service providers.
But the financial world is very complex, which has to guard not only against multiple risks like regulatory risks, macroeconomic risk, and technological risks but also improve its productivity, at the same time.
This is why innovation at regular intervals, especially on the technological front, stands as the best way forward for the financial industry.
Blockchain technology is the latest buzzword in the financial industry. It is a public ledger, which records all bitcoin transactions that were executed. It is regarded as a breakthrough innovation since it stands as the evidence of all bitcoin transactions on the network and at the same time it reduces or completely knocks-off the need of intermediaries and back-office functions.
Banks lately have been keenly adopting this technology as they perceive it helps aligning all the varying data systems with one shared standard, which in turn, result in increased productivity.
But here comes the challenge. Data is now the biggest asset of banks and financial institutions. In order to prevent any loss of data, firms have to constantly reinforce their IT systems in vastly expanding but increasingly risk-prone cyberspace. The blockchain technology has its vulnerability. If a malefactor is able to breach any of the decentralized databases in the system, say for instance, an executable cryptogram and fed with corrupt data, it can wreak havoc in the entire system. You see, the whole essence of this protocol is that financial institutions should have a standardized data system (data synchronization); but if any of the link in the chain fails to control cyber risks, the technology may fail to bring the desired outcome.

How to watch SpaceX launch NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission
By Trevor Mogg December 7, 2022
Following a delay to its original launch schedule, SpaceX is once again preparing to launch NASA's Lunar Flashlight satellite, as well as HAKUTO-R Mission 1 in what is the first privately led Japanese mission to attempt a lunar landing.
All being well, the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the payloads will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in the early hours of Sunday, December 11. The launch will be streamed online as it happens, so check below for the precise details on how to watch.
The briefcase-sized Lunar Flashlight satellite will use lasers to search for water ice in permanently shadowed craters at the moon's South Pole, exploring places that haven't seen sunlight in billions of years.
This must be the most beautiful image ever of a rocket launch
During the three-month mission, the Lunar Flashlight will use a reflectometer with four lasers that emit near-infrared light in wavelengths easily absorbed by surface water ice, NASA said, adding, "Should the lasers hit bare rock or regolith (broken rock and dust), the light will reflect back to the spacecraft. But if the target absorbs the light, that would indicate the presence of water ice. The greater the absorption, the more ice there may be."
It's hoped that lunar water could one day be used for astronauts on long-stay moon missions and even help to create rocket fuel for missions launching from the moon to planets such as Mars. Such a breakthrough would make space flights much more efficient, as launching from the moon, which has much less gravitational pull than Earth, would eliminate the need for enormous rockets and large amounts of fuel.
Sunday's launch will also carry Japan's HAKUTO-R lander to space for a lunar landing to deploy a number of government and private payloads.
SpaceX is aiming to launch its Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:38 a.m. ET on Sunday, December 11, which for those on the West Coast is 11:38 p.m. PT on Saturday.
You can watch the launch and early stages of the mission via the video player that will be embedded at the top of this page closer to launch time. Alternatively, head to SpaceX's website, which will carry the same feed. The broadcast will begin about 15 minutes prior to the launch.
For the latest updates on the mission status, check SpaceX's Twitter account.
SpaceX will show its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket blasting off from the Kennedy Space Center, lighting up the Florida sky as it goes. Cameras on the ground and on the rocket itself will track the early stages of the flight. First-stage separation high above Earth will be livestreamed, as will the booster's touchdown at Landing Zone 1 a short distance from the launch site. Also expect detailed commentary on the purpose of the mission, as well as on the flight itself as the rocket heads to space.

BULLDOGS FALL TO DEFENDING CHAMPS: One touchdown separates Andalusia…
Opp falls in second round to Montgomery Catholic
Published 10:05 pm Friday, November 13, 2020
The Opp Bobcats saw its season come to an end Friday night with a second-round playoff loss to Montgomery Catholic, 38-0.
The Bobcats stayed within striking distance with the high-powered offense of the Knights, but Montgomery Catholic scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half to take complete control of the game.
The Bobcat offense could never get momentum. The best scoring opportunity came about midway through the second quarter when a series of penalties against the Knights helped move the Bobcats all the way to the 11-yard line. That drive ended with a failed field goal attempt from 18 yards out.
At that point in the game, the Bobcats were behind 10-0. The Knights would score on an 80-yard pass completion on the first play of their next possession to make the score 17-0.
After going three-and-out and punting, Montgomery Academy added to its lead with an 81-yard drive to take a 24-0 with 22 seconds remaining in the half.
Opp came out in the second half with a 38-yard kickoff return by Brady Lester to the 43-yard line, but the offense could not capitalize and was forced to punt from the 47-yard line. That punt was returned 86 yards to the end zone and increasing the Knights' lead to 31-0.
The Knights would add another touchdown on a 22-yard touchdown run with 9:27 to go in the game.
The Bobcats end the 2020 season with an overall record of 8-4 and finished second in Region 2.

WATCH: Tiger Woods Tears Up While Remembering 2019 Masters Win with Son
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Warner Todd Huston
Golf great Tiger Woods got teary-eyed on Tuesday when reflecting on his 2019 Masters win and how special it was to celebrate it with his son, Charlie.
The 44-year-old golf hero admitted that he still "gets teary" remembering how his son was one of the first to offer him a big hug on that fateful day when he won his fifth green Masters jacket.
"I still get chills just thinking about it," Woods told the press. "Coming up 18, knowing that all I had to do was to two-putt that 15-footer. Seeing my family there, my mom and my kids and all of the people that helped support me, were there for me through the tough times.
"Walking up there, I was just trying not to lose it. When I walked off the back of the green, to see Charlie there and just open up our arms. It meant a lot to me, and it still does. It reminded me so much of me and my dad. To come full circle like that, I get a bit teary."

Golf fans may recall that in 1997 when Tiger won his first Masters tournament, his father was right there to be the first to congratulate him. Last year, that came "full circle" as Tiger's own son was there for his historic fifth win.
Tiger's 2019 win was an amazing comeback for a player that many had written off as a has-been thanks to years of health troubles and personal issues that caused his level of play to drop precipitously.
After Tiger Woods won his first Masters in 1997, he embraced his father, Earl.
22 years later after winning his 5th Masters, he got to share that same moment with his own son, Charlie. pic.twitter.com/BqH1AyvM6A

Nearly everyone in sports broadcasting had imagined that they would never see Tiger Woods walking among the top golfers in the world again. He proved them wrong with a nearly flawless game.

You are here: Home Ellen Tordesillas The lawmaker's offer
The lawmaker's offer
Published on Monday, 23 September 2013 17:03
Written by Ellen Tordesillas
'Endorsement may not be a crime but being a recipient of millions of money from PDAF is stealing money from the people. That's plunder.'
ONE of the lawmakers implicated in the pork barrel scam operated by Janet Lim Napoles sent feelers to Malacañang about three weeks ago.
The offer: I will return the money I got from my PDAF fund plus interest. I will make a public apology. I will resign and will not run for elective office again.
The requested reward: Please doesn't file plunder charges against me.
Reason for the offer: One, I wants to spare my grandchildren the stigma of having a grandparent convicted of plunder. Two, I am currently "down." This is not the best times of my life.
My source declined to identify the lawmaker and the branch of legislature. I can only guess the identity based on the demands: he or she is old enough to have grandchildren and is eligible for election in 2016.
Last Monday, a total of 37 persons were charged in connection with the misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund. Charged with plunder were three senators: Ramon "Bong" Revilla; Jinggoy Estrada, and Juan Ponce Enrile.
Also charged with plunder are former Masbate Rep. now Gov. Rizalina Lanete and former APEC party-list Rep. Edgar Valdez.
According to the charge sheet, the five lawmakers "committed plunder in conspiracy with Napoles and officials of the implementing agencies when said lawmakers each accumulated more than P50 million through a series of transactions over time through misappropriation, conversion, misuse, and malversation of the cash value of the project cost allocated from the lawmakers' PDAF and through their acceptance of kickbacks and commissions."
Revilla and Estrada continue to profess their innocence. Estrada's lame argument is that his endorsing a nongovernment organization, even if it turned out to be fake, as a recipient of his pork barrel did not constitute a crime.
He should be told that the endorsement may not be a crime but being a recipient of millions of money from PDAF is stealing money from the people. That's plunder.
Enrile is in the hospital. At 89, he may escape imprisonment for humanitarian reasons even if convicted.
Legal experts say it would not be a short, easy case. But all those charged can kiss their political ambitions goodbye.
Three former members of the House of Representatives were also charged with malversation of public funds, direct bribery and violation of the Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for accumulating kickbacks and other benefits less than P50 million, said De Lima. They are former Agusan del Sur Rep. Rodolfo Plaza, former Benguet Rep. Samuel Dangwa and former Cagayan de Oro Rep. Constantino Jaraula.
Plaza, who has been reported to have left the country about two weeks ago, is the same lawmaker whose lament "What kind of Congress is this" during the 2009 debate in Congress whether to play the Hello Garci tapes.
With the mind-boggling reports of how he and fellow lawmakers diverted millions and millions of money intended for the marginalized to their pockets, Plaza can say it again: "What kind of Congress is this?"


If so, you will need to activate your account to get pleasure from all the characteristics and advantages M life Rewards has to supply. Never get me wrong SD and Miami are beautiful cities, but I would not take into account them ten have to visit globe class cities in The U.S. And even though there is no arguing DC 's inclusion, I identified the city fairly boring unless you are into museums and history. If you happen to be into museums its certainly worthwhile to take a short trip over to Washington, DC. Of course Washington also delivers numerous worthwhile sights in addition to its outstanding museums, and some of the need to-see highlights are the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and the Capitol.
Vegas is a normal getaway hot spot for me, and LA, although I did not like LA, I agree that it nevertheless ought to be on the list of areas to see. New Orleans has an outgoing and friendly attitude you can't understand till you've been there. I not too long ago went to Chicago for the 1st time, and to say Chicago and NYC are as well comparable is quite nuts.
As such, hoteliers, who want to broaden their room's distribution intelligently, boost margins and preserve their brand identity in the face of on-line distributors that would turn hotel rooms into a lowest-price commodity need to seriously consider integrating a true time reservations technique into their personal site for the ultimate advantage of their personal hotel and guests.
Non-commissionable reservations can also be produced by calling our Resort Reservation Workplace at 800-663-2266. I am fortunate to reside close to some of the greatest ones-Philadelphia, Baltimore, NYC & so on!!!

They have added MyRevue, which is an on the internet overview technique that is incorporated into the guest encounter. Smaller resorts might need a phone contact on most cases, however, you will be capable to make reservations online as properly. Any individual from nyc have any suggestions for a wisconsinite on how to make a move eventually. For low-cost hotels, you will have to go on the outskirts as most of the pricey hotels are within the Las Vegas City.

Doctrinal congregation convokes meeting on role of women in the church / Catholic News Service in National Catholic Reporter
Posted by Voice of the Faithful in Vatican, Voice of the Faithful, Women in Catholic Church, Women in the Church on September 30, 2016
Leaders of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith spent three days in late September listening to women theologians, canon lawyers, Scripture scholars and specialists in other academic fields talk about roles women have played in the Catholic church and roles they could play in the future.
"After the symposium Sept. 26-28 was over, the congregation issued a brief statement outlining the topics discussed and listing the women who made formal presentations. The congregation said the papers will be published at a later date.
"Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect of the doctrinal congregation, opened the meeting, which involved about 50 people, mostly women, and officials and consultants to the congregation, the statement said.
"The theme of "the role of women in the church" was explored first by looking at "the definition of the feminine vocation in Catholic tradition," and proceeded to a discussion about concrete roles women have played and can play within the church."

Has Pope Francis failed? / The New York Times
Posted by Voice of the Faithful in Pope Francis, Voice of the Faithful on September 28, 2016
When Pope Francis ascended to the chair of St. Peter in March 2013, the world looked on in wonder. Here at last was a pope in line with the times, a man who preferred spontaneous gestures to ritual forms. Francis paid his own hotel bill and eschewed the red shoes. Rather than move into the grand papal apartments, he settled in the cozy guesthouse for visitors to the Vatican. He also set a new nondogmatic tone with statements like 'Who am I to judge?'
"Observers predicted that the new pope's warmth, humility and charisma would prompt a 'Francis effect' — bringing disaffected Catholics back to a church that would no longer seem so forbidding and cold. Three years into his papacy, the predictions continue. Last winter, Austen Ivereigh, the author of an excellent biography of Pope Francis, wrote that the pope's softer stance on communion for the divorced and remarried 'could trigger a return to parishes on a large scale.' In its early days, Francis' Jesuit order labored to bring Protestants back into the fold of the church. Could Francis do the same for Catholics tired of headlines about child abuse and culture wars?

Catholic Church needs better way to select bishops / National Catholic Reporter
Posted by Voice of the Faithful in Catholic Bishops, Pope Francis, Vatican, Voice of the Faithful on September 26, 2016
By now it should be clear.
"Pope Francis really believes there is a serious lack of quality among priests and bishops in the Catholic church. Otherwise, he would not talk so often about the negative traits of certain men in ordained ministry, as he's done again several times in recent days.
"'The world is tired of lying charmers and — allow me say — of 'fashionable' priests or 'fashionable' bishops,' the pope said on Sept. 16 to a group of 94 bishops consecrated in the last two years for dioceses in mission territories.
"'The people 'scent' — the People of God have God's 'scent' — the people can 'scent' and they withdraw when they recognize narcissists, manipulators, defenders of personal causes and standard bearers of worthless crusades,' the pope warned the so-called 'baby bishops,' who were in Rome for a training seminar.
"He also cautioned them about too easily accepting seminarians or incardinating already ordained priests into their dioceses …"

The only abuse survivor currently serving on a panel set up by Pope Francis to fight clerical sexual abuse says the Catholic Church is making good progress and welcomed changes initiated by the Vatican and the pontiff.
Marie Collins, who was raped at age 13 by a hospital chaplain in Ireland, is a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.
"'I have complained about slowness and frustration in the past,' Collins told RNS this week. 'From my point of view as a survivor, I would like everything to happen tomorrow.'

Pope Francis addresses papal nuncios on bishop selection
Posted by Voice of the Faithful in Catholic Bishops, Future of the Church, Pope Francis, Voice of the Faithful on September 20, 2016
The importance of bishops to a local church cannot by overstated, so the selection of bishops is a major issue for the laity. Pope Francis is equally concerned about the qualities bishops possess. He has talked about bishop selection many times during his papacy and most recently when he addressed a meeting of papal nuncios from around the world on Sept. 17. He said, in part, in a Holy See press office extract:
The selection of future bishops is a great concern of mine. Speaking with the Congregation for Bishops some time ago, I outlined the profile of the Pastors that I consider necessary for today's Church: witnesses of the Risen Christ and not bearers of a curriculum vitae; praying bishops, familiarised with things 'from above' and not crushed by the weight of what is 'below'; bishops able to enter with patience in God's presence, so as to possess the freedom not to betray the Kerygma entrusted to them; bishops who are pastors, not princes or officials. … You are the first to have to scrutinise the fields to see where the little Davids are hidden. They are there, God will not let them be lacking. … You must go out and search for them. … You must cast your nets out widely. You cannot be content to fish in aquaria, in the reserve or in the breeding ground of 'friends of friends'. At stake is trust in the Lord of history and of the Church, Who never neglects their true good."
Voice of the Faithful shares the pontiffs concerns for the quality of our bishops, and of course, is interested in the widest possible lay input into bishop selection. In a letter to Pope Francis only a few months after his election, VOTF asked him "to restore to all the laity and clergy of a diocese a formal role in the process of recommending candidates for their bishop to you prior to your appointment of him." Enclosed with the letter was the VOTF document, "Furthering the New Evangelization: Consulting the Laity on Candidates for Bishop."
You can read about VOTF's letter to the Pope and our proposal for including the laity in the selection of local bishops by visiting votf.org and clicking on Bishop Selection under the Programs button on the home page. You also can learn there about VOTF's web portal votf.org/bishop where any Catholic in a diocese may make recommendations about the new bishop that are forwarded directly to the U.S. papal nuncio's email box.

A recent BBC article sheds a little more light onto perhaps the reason why the US is no fan of either Iran or Venezuela. The President's of both nations met to discuss various economic initiatives between the two nations and other developing nations.
I was particularly intrigued by this comment: "Our correspondent says there has been plenty of talk by both men of creating a world without the dominance of one single power."
Yep, I can't see that idea going over too well in Washington.

Ezzelino da Romano
Anthony always defended those who were powerless and incapable of defending themselves. He proclaimed the dignity of every person. He did this not only while he was preaching to the crowds, but also when he stood before those who were known to be cruel tyrants. One of his contemporaries writes, 'Anthony, who had so avidly desired to die a martyr, did not give in to anyone, even if it might cost him his life; with enormous courage he resisted the tyranny of the mighty. He stood up to certain powerful figures so firmly that other preachers, even the most famous, trembled before his resolution and were smitten with fear."
Far from closing himself behind the safe and tranquil walls of an abbey library as he had in his earlier years, Anthony now bore witness to the truth in the corridors of power and in the market places of his world. He proved that the Gospel was alive and relevant to the men and women of his times. The most famous story concerning his political courage involves a certain Ezzelino da Romano. Ezzelino belonged to the political party known as the Ghibellines. Both they and their opponents, the Guelphs, were famous for their conniving and blood-thirstiness, and Ezzelino was considered by all to be a master in the art of treachery. Ezzelino was holding certain Guelphs as prisoners, threatening to execute them. Anthony courageously stood before him and called him to conversion. He repented his ways, only to turn back to his old tricks after Anthony had left.

A Maine woman found a dead lizard while eating salad made with a bag of chopped lettuce from California. She was pregnant. The lizard's tail was missing. Reptiles are known to carry Salmonella and E. coli and other bacteria, viruses and parasites, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 2016, Chiquita Brands International's Fresh Express salad division recalled 480 cases of bagged "American Salad" because of undeclared allergens. In some individuals the consumption of an undisclosed allergen could be life-threatening. Chiquita's salad division recalled salads in February, May and June — also because of undeclared allergen issues. In June the company openly blamed human error.
A major outbreak of a food-borne illness started in mid-March. Since then, the outbreak grew into the largest multi-state E. coli scare since 2006. As of May 15, 172 people in 32 states have fallen ill, including one person who died in California. Of these cases, 75 were hospitalized, including 20 who developed kidney failure.
All of these incidents shared common problems that still remain today. These incidents are behind us for now. Will we be seeing something like this again? You can count on it.

Woke Sports: Dallas Mavs owner nixes national anthem — before the NBA overrules him
By Nathan Skates / Friday, February 12, 2021
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently announced that he was no longer going to play the national anthem at his team's home games, although after a major backlash, the NBA decided to override that decision.
Cuban's desire to cancel the national anthem, however, is fully in keeping with the fact that the NBA has "gone woke" in recent years,
In June, Cuban said that if his players took a knee during the national anthem, he hoped to join them. "If they were taking a knee and they were being respectful, I'd be proud of them. Hopefully, I'd join them." He added,
"Whether it's holding their arm up in the air, whether it's taking a knee, whatever it is, I don't think this is an issue of respect or disrespect to the flag or to the anthem or to our country. I think this is more a reflection of our players' commitment to this country and the fact that it's so important to them that they're willing to say what's in their heart and do what they think is right."
Evidently, Cuban and his team's commitment to America involves no longer playing the national anthem.
Cuban was critical of those who opposed the anthem protests, saying, "National anthem police are out of control." He suggested that those who are concerned about not hearing the national anthem played at Maverick games should go complain to their own bosses for not playing the anthem before work started at their workplace.
Cuban isn't the only one downplaying the importance of playing the national anthem at sporting events. New Orleans Pelicans head coach Stan Van Gundy supported Cuban's decision, tweeting, "This should happen everywhere. If you think the anthem needs to be played before sporting events, then play it before every movie, concert, church service and the start of every work day at every business. What good reason is there to play the anthem before a game?"
What Cuban and Van Gundy are missing, however, is there is no tradition of playing the national anthem before the workday at every business, but there is a tradition in sports. Americans have long connected sports with patriotism and seen sports as a unifying medium. The tradition can be traced back to the 1918 World Series. At the time, American troops were in France helping the Allies win World War I, and to honor their service, a band played the Star Spangled Banner, beginning the trend of having players and fans stand for the Star Spangled Banner at big games. The tradition gained even greater traction during World War II and in post-war America.
As Greg Couch at Outkick noted during the NBA's ratings collapse last season,
"Games that traditionally started with the National Anthem, wrapped in a pristine, easily digestible and celebratory view of Americana, have become full-blown expressions of what's wrong with the USA. Whether the players are right or wrong doesn't matter. It's disconcerting to a large portion of the audience. It was counter-marketing to the image of an NBA bubble at Disney World, the Happiest Place on Earth. Imagine Disney pivoting away from Mickey Mouse and making Cardi B its pitchman."
Couch went on to say that if Disney suddenly pivoted to Hooter's girls rather than costumed cartoon characters, no one would be surprised if they lost supporters.
Sports has a tradition of patriotism and the NBA's behavior over the last few years makes it clear that banning the national anthem isn't about the national anthem not being played in other workplaces, it's a statement.
When originally writing this story, the NBA had told Cuban that NBA teams were free to conduct pregame activities as they wished during the COVID-19 circumstances. After widespread backlash, the NBA reversed course and reiterated its rule that each team must play the national anthem before games. "With NBA teams now in the process of welcoming fans back into their arenas, all teams will play the national anthem in keeping with longstanding league policy," the league explained in an official statement.
"We respect and always have respected the passion people have for the anthem and our country. But we also loudly hear the voices of those who feel that the anthem does not represent them. We feel that their voices need to be respected and heard, because they have not been … Our hope is that going forward people will take the same passion they have for this issue and apply the same amount of energy to listen to those who feel differently from them. Then we can move forward and have courageous conversations that move this country forward and find what unites us."
The NBA's social justice initiatives have rung hollow to many considering the league's ties to China, which has locked up 1 million Uighur Muslims in internment camps, surveils and censors its citizens, and routinely jails and abuses pastors. David Whitley wrote a scathing article for the Orlando Sentinel about the NBA's alleged hypocrisy. Whitley noted the league's various Black Lives Matter gestures before stating,
"Just one request. Amid all the preaching, would someone make a peep about a country [China] that commits more human rights abuses in 10 minutes than the U.S. does in 10 years? Don't press your ears against the NBA's bubble waiting for an answer. The league officially declared it has no soul in October, when Houston general manager Daryl Morey sent one measly tweet supporting the democracy protests in Hong Kong. The Chinese Communist Party started pulling NBA games off TV and merchandise off shelves. With its multibillion-dollar relationship threatened, the NBA quickly bowed in subservience and sent Morey to re-education camp."
In addition to the NBA's abysmal handling of the Hong Kong situation, Whitley mentioned the NBA's silence on China's genocide of the Uighurs as well as the Chinese NBA training academies where teenagers were abused and not provided schooling. An American coach said, "Imagine you have a kid who's 13, 14 years old, and you've got a grown coach who is 40 years old hitting your kid. We're part of that. The NBA is part of that."
Why does the NBA lambast America but kowtow to China? In a word, money. As journalist Jason Whitlock said in an interview with Fox's Tucker Carlson, "China is their No. 1 market that the NBA is interested in. America is not the NBA's priority — China is."
Whitlock continued:
"The NBA [is] being hijacked by foreign influence. This is what is happening to our country. I'm so glad it's being exposed in the NBA. Because it's an opportunity to educate the average American sports fan… so you can finally understand what this foreign influence is doing to our country. They have turned a patriotic cultural event into an anti-American protest in the NBA and, to some degree, the NFL. We've got to put a stop to this."
Megyn Kelly interviewed Cuban last fall and pressed him on the NBA's relationship with China. While Cuban condemned all human rights violations, he would not specifically condemn China's actions. Kelly circled back to the topic and asked Cuban, "Why would the NBA take $500 million dollars plus from a country that is engaging in ethnic cleansing?"
Cuban responded, "So basically, you're saying nobody should do business with China ever."
"Why won't you just answer my question?" Kelly pressed.
"Because they are a customer. They are a customer of ours," Cuban answered. "And guess what, Megyn? I'm okay with doing business with China. And so we have to pick our battles. I wish we could solve all the world's problems. But we can't."
So while the NBA can't solve all of the world's problems, such as genocide, it can decry the "systemic" racism in the United States — racism that is so pervasive that it has given rise to a professional sports league made up of predominantly black multi-millionaires who get to make their living playing a game while preaching to average citizens about how racist they are.
Fans seemed to be turned off by the social justice messaging because NBA ratings plummeted last season. Even the NBA Finals saw historically low ratings. The NFL has also experienced ratings drops after social justice exploits. The NFL's opening weekend this year experienced not only a sharp ratings drop but fans booed when the Chiefs partook in a public Black Lives Matter moment of "unity."
Speaking of the Chiefs, last weekend's Super Bowl, which opened with the "Black National Anthem," also saw its ratings drop sharply over Kansas City's Super Bowl victory last season.
In all fairness, the nosedive in ratings cannot be solely attributed to the social justice embrace, particularly considering that NBA ratings have risen dramatically this season, though it would have been hard not to recover from last season's dismal performance and many fans are locked down due to COVID-19 with not a lot of other entertainment options.
One thing is clear: Many fans are turned off by anti-American protests — whether it be Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the anthem or the NBA's Black Lives Matter agenda. It's hard to truly enjoy a game when you're made to feel guilty and ashamed for something someone else may or may not have done or feelings you may or may not have.
Sports used to be the great escape for Americans. In fact, it was not only a way to get away from life's stresses but it was also a source of unity. It gave people a common point of reference, something to banter about with fellow fans, no matter their race or gender or age or bank account or social status. You could cheer, joke, high-five, hold forth, and even argue politely with total strangers about whether a referee got the call right or who was the greatest running back of all time. And every sport is replete with great stories of camaraderie and loyalty between and among the fans and the players.
Unfortunately, as it has with every other institution and norm that offers Americans a sense of community and joy, the left has hijacked sports, turning the games into just another social justice lecture and leaving fans to self-flagellate themselves rather than simply spend time with friends, family, and even strangers for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon or Monday night or whenever a game or match happens to be played.
I don't want to be too hard on Cuban. I'm not saying he's an anti-American, Chinese Communist Party sympathizer. In fact, I've found him to be a pretty free thinker, but his decision isn't happening in a vacuum. Maybe Cuban's motivation is simply to take the controversy out of the game or maybe even try to depoliticize it. If so, I applaud that motivation — though not the execution. Unfortunately, by his words and actions, Cuban's motivation seems to be protesting America. America is not a perfect place and there are certainly ways we can improve our society, but ceasing the playing of the national anthem is not really the best way to do that. Considering the anthem's prominent place in our nation and its tradition in sports, it's hard to see Cuban's attempt to cancel the Star Spangled Banner as anything but unpatriotic.
But congratulations to the NBA for reversing course on this and requiring the national anthem to be played. And when the song starts at the next game, I have no doubts that the vast majority of fans will stand, place their hand over their hearts, and sing along.
A Church is Outraged that a Pastor Believes Church Teachings


This beautiful home belongs to Hanne Berzant, the founder and former creative director of the Danish company By Nord. Just a short distance from downtown Copenhagen, it is also close to the forest and beach, making it the perfect location for Hanne and her family. Undoubtedly Nordic in style the elegant home combines design icons with functionality and comfort in equal measure. High ceilings and free-flowing light which Hanne says she has to have in order to thrive create a wonderful atmosphere, while the herringbone parquet floors throughout the house provide a graphic backdrop to the whole decor. Specially treated to create a greyish hue, they blend beautifully with interior's natural dusty palette. With these main elements and clean lines in place, Hanne says it's the soft things that give personality and depth to a home to make you feel like settling down on the couch under a blanket to recharge with the family. Natural materials like linen, ceramics and hand-knotted Berber rugs also provide plenty of warmth and texture.
Now in the process of launching a new lifestyle brand, Hanne applies the same eye for detail with her designs as she does with the decor of her own home. She has chosen beautiful design furniture including the Hans Wegner Ox Chair and Arne Jacobsen's Grand Prix chairs which you can see around the dining table above, mixed with pieces from Italian and Spanish design houses. The simplicity and clean lines of these pieces fit perfectly with the home's original detailing.
Love the black and white aesthetic with so much natural light and faded herringbone floor! And that skull is a really nice touch.
Hi Michelle! I was wondering where I might be able to find a pair of those gorgeous linen curtains above? Thank you, great article.

Anti-Transgender Bias Costs State Millions
BOSTON - Massachusetts loses millions annually paying public health insurance coverage to transgender residents who've lost their jobs due to bias, a report says.
The study conducted by the Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy, a think tank at the University of California, Los Angeles, indicated more than three-quarters of 283 transgender Massachusetts respondents say they have experienced some form of employment discrimination, including losing a job, being denied a promotion or not being hired at all.
Researchers estimate 33,000 people, 0.5 percent of the population of Massachusetts, say they identify themselves as transgender, The Boston Globe reported.
The study concluded the state is paying out almost $3 million in public health insurance coverage to transgender residents who have lost their jobs due to bias.
"When that many people face discrimination, when we trace out the economic consequences, the dollars add up very quickly," said Lee Badgett, research director at the Williams Institute and director of the Center for Public Policy & Administration at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Barbara Green, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, declined to comment on the dollar amount, but said discrimination against transgender residents is a problem.
"Any kind of discrimination definitely costs our state not only in dollars lost," Green said, "but it also costs our state in its reputation as one of the cradles of liberty and as a state that has been a leader in anti-discrimination efforts."
The study is based on a 2009 survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which polled more than 6,400 transgender people nationally. No details of the study's methodology were reported.

Investors must turn their backs on traditional 'medicines' using threatened species - EIA
Investors must turn their backs on traditional 'medicines' using threatened species
Thousands of leopards have been killed to feed China's unethical trade in the endangered big cat's bones – but now international investors are in a position to do something about it.
Leopard bone trade is one of the ugly faces of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), tarnishing the rest of the industry's global reputation even as it drives consumer demand to result in the poaching and trafficking.
Product on sale in China containing leopard bone
But now a report published in the UK's Evening Standard has revealed the reputational risks to those well-known investors and fund managers who profit from the production of leopard bone pills and wine in China.
"Let's hope that the international fund managers and investors looking to make a profit out of TCM take a more cautious approach and quickly distance themselves from companies using leopard, tiger and other big cat body parts," said Debbie Banks, our Tiger and Wildlife Crime Campaign Leader.
EIA's Tiger campaigners have written to dozens of TCM companies throughout China, urging them to stop using leopard bone in their products; its continued use, licensed by the Chinese Government, perpetuates a demand which also drives the poaching and trafficking of wild leopards, clouded leopards and snow leopards.
There are also grounds for suspicion about the source of leopard bone being used by companies in China and to question its legality.
Clouded leopard skeleton offered to EIA (c) EIAimage
Last year, a publicly reported transaction involved the sale of 1.23 tonnes of leopard bone, representing approximately 150 leopards. The owner reportedly refused to provide evidence of legal origin, but that didn't stop the Government allowing the sale to proceed. The same company had previously offered EIA investigators a fresh clouded leopard skeleton – still with flesh on it – two years after all stockpiles were supposed to have been registered in 2006.
"There is a shocking lack of transparency around the volume and status of those 2006 stockpiles, leaving us with zero confidence in the Government or the pharmaceutical industry," said Banks.
"With at least 5,249 leopards being traded in Asia for their body parts since 2000, destined for China's market, it is highly possible that bone from illegally sourced leopards is being laundered through this licensed trade."
The global expansion of TCM is being promoted within Chinese President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative – but the lack of transparency, scrutiny and commitment to end use and demand is a huge risk to the survival of leopards and other big cats while threatening the positive TCM elements which do not use wildlife.
This is why the World Health Organisation's (WHO) blanket recognition of TCM earlier this year is such a disaster.
Banks added: "For species whose survival in the wild is threatened as a result of their body parts being used in TCM, legally and illegally, the WHO decision legitimises that use, doing no favours to man nor beast.

Homeowners may contact Doug Canody in the Abingdon office (276) 619-2236 and Gwen Puryear in the Woodstock office (540) 459-6432 to determine income eligibility and learn other details about program qualifications.

There are many types of thrips with some types feeding on decaying organic matter such as leaves, wood and fungi, while there are others that are serious plant pests. Often thrips are overlooked as a serious plant pest due to their size being 1-2mm in length and 0.5mm wide and can be white, yellow, cream, brown or black in appearance. Thrips gather in numbers and feed not only on leaves but flowers and fruit also. Their mouth parts can be described as 'rasping and sucking' causing damage to the surface of leaves, fruit and flowers; causing sap to ooze out. In young leaves damage can be seen as distortion and leaf curling, with older leaves they may appear silver to grey in appearance. When they attack flowers they attack the reproductive parts and petals causing browning and wilting, which results in fewer and damaged fruit. Thrips are greatly influenced by weather conditions, with heavy rain, very hot and dry weather reducing populations of thrips. They are most active during spring and autumn.

Bakasana is translated as Crane Pose, but is often referred to as Crow. This arm balance is the foundation and key to all of the other arm balances in yoga. While muscular strength is helpful, the asana is achieved more through proper architecture and structural alignment. Crow is an opportunity to take flight in class – a chance to become intensely present as you soar and hover over your mat!


This stylish floral bedding set is based on a design for a printed textile from the early 1920's. Ahead of their time, designs like this one signal the beginning of a shift towards the abstract florals that would become popular in the latter half of the 20th century. Available in four sizes of duvet cover sets, the main rose and bluebell print reverses to a simple stripe co-ordinate. A quilted throw and linen blend cushion featuring a digitally printed geometric tile pattern complete the collection.

Q: How to pass the database data and display it in yii2 highCharts? I have install the miloschuman\highcharts\Highcharts, website : https://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii2-highcharts-widget. I have a database with the table columns lme_price and lme_name which I want to display the price of the copper in the highcharts. I'm using PHP.
Below is my code which I have done. This is the code in my models. I create a static function with the query inside it to find the data that I want from the database.
public static function getCopperPrice()
{
    $getCopperPrices = Lme::find()
                    ->select('lme_price')
                    ->where(['lme_name' => 'LME Copper'])
                    ->all();
    return $getCopperPrices;
}

Here is my code in the view. I have a table show in the view which show every data from the database.

<?= GridView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    //  'searchModel'=> $searchModel,
    'columns' => [
        ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
        [
            'label'=> 'DATE',
            'attribute' => 'lme_title',
        ],
        [
            'label'=> 'MATERIAL',
            'attribute'=> 'lme_name',
        ],
        [
            'label'=> 'PRICE (US$)',
            'attribute'=> 'lme_price',
        ],

        ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
    ],
]); ?>

Here is the code for the highcharts graph.

    <?= Highcharts::widget([
        'options' => [
            'title' => ['text' => 'Copper Price'],
            'xAxis' => [
                'categories' => []
            ],
            'yAxis' => [
                'title' => ['text' => 'Price $US']
            ],
            'plotOption' => [
            'series' => [
                ['name' => 'Copper',
                'data' => [lme::getCopperPrices()]],
             ]
            ]
        ]
    ]);?>

I want to display only 1 material price in the highcharts. I call the function from the model inside the series but the graph shows nothing on it. The coding there didn't show any error to me.
Can someone help me or tell me how to solve this? Thanks.

A: Chart require integer values to display
public static function getCopperPrice()
{
     $cooperPrices = [];

     $copperPriceList = Lme::find()
         ->select('lme_price')
         ->where(['lme_name' => 'LME Copper'])
         ->column();

    foreach($copperPriceList as $price) {
        $cooperPrices[] = (int) price;
    }

     return $cooperPrices;
}

Q: Why should I maintain my HVAC system?
A: Even if your heating & air conditioning system was built to go the distance, it's got to be maintained in perfect condition, just like your car. A properly maintained system will last longer with fewer breakdowns and save money every month through lower fuel bills.
Q: How long does a typical gas furnace or air conditioner last?
A: The average life of a gas furnace is 15 years. The average life of an air conditioner is 12 years. Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of heating and air conditioning systems and keeps them operating as designed.
Q: Why should I replace my working furnace or air conditioner?
A: Although your present furnace or air conditioner may be working, if it is more than 12 years old you should consider replacing it with a new high efficiency system. A new heating and air conditioning system could save up to 50 percent on energy costs. While these products save you money on your utility bills, they also offer a better degree of comfort within your home.
Q. What's the difference between a boiler and furnace?
Q: My pilot light is on but my furnace is not operating - what should I do?
A: First, check for power, then check fuses and/or ON-OFF switch. Next, check thermostat for proper setting. If none of these approaches work call a certified service technician.
Q: Why is my furnace so noisy?
Q: My allergies seem to bother me a lot at home. What can I do?
Q: What are the benefits of an air filtration system?
A: An Air Filtration system removes dust, pollen, spores and smoke. It can also reduce the cost of Furnace and Air Conditioner maintenance.

Hannah Hart Biography
Hannah Hart is an entertainer and two-time New York Times best-selling author.
Boasting over 5 million followers across her social platforms, Hart is the creator and star of her award-winning, weekly web series "My Drunk Kitchen", which has amassed millions of views since its first episode premiered in 2011.
In 2012, Hart launched her first scripted format "Hello, Harto," a project that helped distribute food to local communities across America. These efforts in turn created Hart's philanthropic community 'Have A Hart Day,' an international, year-round initiative which encourages young leaders to volunteer their time in their own communities.
Hart was recognized by The White House for her ability to mobilize the youth through this initiative and she was invited to lead a discussion about millennial engagement with President Obama. She was also named to Forbes' 30 Under 30, an annual list which highlights talented individuals under 30 years old across a variety of fields in 2015.
Hart's first book My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with Your Gut, was based on her popular web series and spent six weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list. Her highly anticipated sophomore book Buffering: Unshared Tales Of A Life Fully Loaded debuted at number four on the New York Times Bestseller List in October 2016.
Hart starred in Legendary Digital Media's film Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, a superhero action film with female-centric characters based on the popular 70's series of the same name. Hart also co-produced and starred in Lionsgate's comedy Dirty 30, which released in theaters and on digital platforms.
In 2016, Hart was a guest judge for Season 12 of Food Network Star. She went on to hose her own television show, I Hart Food, where she traveled to eateries in different cities and learned how to cook foods of different ethnic cuisines.
She also hosts a show on the Ellen Digital Network, A Decent Proposal, where she helps deserving couples get their dream proposal.

Last week, Andy Puzder, President Trump's pick to become Secretary of Labor, withdrew from consideration for the post. That is a huge loss for American workers.
For those at the bottom of the income ladder, there is no better system than a free labor market. Adam Smith recognized that fundamental truth more than 200 years ago and economic studies ever since have confirmed it. Puzder understood this – both as an employer and a thinker.
As far as I know, Puzder would have been the first Secretary of Labor who has created thousands of private sector jobs – employing 20,200 at last count, through Hardees and Carl's Jr. restaurants. Either directly, or indirectly through his franchisees, Puzder paid salaries, provided benefits and gave thousands of young people the opportunity to acquire the job skills necessary to reach the first rung on the ladder of economic success.


Hauck went 15-49 in his five seasons. His best season was in 2013, when he led the Rebels to a 7-6 record and their first bowl berth since 2000, losing 36-14 to North Texas in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. But he won only two games in each of his other four seasons.
He never put together a winning record, but came close to breaking even with 5-7 records in his final two seasons. His other three seasons ended with two victories apiece. Sanford finished 16-43 in five years.
Robinson, the former Southern California and Los Angeles Rams coach, took the Rebels to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2000, beating Arkansas 31-14 and finishing 8-5. But that was his only winning season, though Robinson came close at 6-6 in 2003. He finished 28-42 in six years.
His first season was his best, going 7-5 with a 52-24 victory over Central Michigan in the Las Vegas Bowl. But Horton won only six games over the following four seasons, including 0-11 in 1998. He finished with a five-year record of 13-44.
He produced one winning season, going 6-5 in 1992 for the Rebels' first winning record in six years. One year later, he went 3-8 in what became his final season. Strong went 17-27 in four seasons.
After going 6-5 in his first season, Nunnely failed to put together a winning record in his final three years. He finished 19-25 in four seasons. Nunnely was the first former UNLV player who also served as head coach.
Hyde was the last coach to leave UNLV with a winning record, going 26-19-1 in four seasons. His best season came in 1984 when the Rebels went 11-2, won the Big West Conference title and beat Toledo 30-13 in the California Bowl. The Big West later erased UNLV's record for using ineligible players, but the NCAA recognizes those victories.
The Silver Fox produced five winning records and one .500 mark, going 47-20-2. He also was the coach when UNLV moved into Division I in 1978, and the Rebels went 7-4 before losing 28-24 to Brigham Young in Japan at the end of the season. Plus, Knap won nine games in each of three other seasons.
He stayed only three seasons before heading to Southern Methodist, and in that time at UNLV, Meyer went 27-8. In 1974, the Rebels went 12-1 and made the Division II semifinals before losing 49-11 to Delaware in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Baton Rouge, La. Meyer also went on to coach the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.
The father of UNLV football, Ireland won his first eight games and finished 8-1 in that inaugural season. He had winning records in his first four seasons before going 1-10 in 1972, finishing 26-23-1 in five years. Ireland went on to become the Rebels' athletic director from 1973 to 1980.

If you're entertaining this weekend, you need to do one thing: Make this gigantic mimosa jug. It's the easiest way to serve a champagne cocktail to all your friends, without having to pour each one individually. You can basically do whatever combo of champagne, juice, and fruit that you fancy. The one thing I'd suggest definitely keeping is the raspberry liqueur (or some type of fruity liqueur), which will give some depth to the drink.
I went for a combo of pineapple and orange juices, which is always a winner, but you could go apple cider, straight O.J., or mango juice. Just make sure to garnish with a lot of fruit to make it colorful and party ready.
