I wanted to let you know how helpful your Bluegrass Banjo book has been to me over the years and how beneficial your BNL columns are. You really seem to have the knack for understanding the difficulties that beginners have and how to help them improve.
I don't do lots of fiction; I do report what I notice and what I learn. You have, as I see it, two advantages to offer: you know your stuff and how to impart it to others. I know your videos well and several of my students have enrolled in your banjo camps and you get an A+ from me.
Your work has helped so many people follow a music dream. Thank you for your leadership all these years.
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed and benefited from the beginners banjo camp. You gave us so much great helpful information, one cannot help but improve.
You are a world class banjo player but I feel you are even a better banjo instructor. Your evaluations are most accurate, you are most patient (with us very amateur beginners), you criticize tactfully but you always seem to find something within the situation to give a positive encouragement. I truly admire that trait in your teaching. Your production of all your DVD's only illustrate your desire to help others become better musicians.
I am forever grateful to Pete for what he does. He impacted my life and my playing as no one else could.
I have been to many banjo clinics, bluegrass camps, etc. over the years and I still consider you the best teacher in the business. I still remember many lessons and good times from the two banjo camps I attended.
As a banjo teacher myself for many years I emphasized playing by ear and improvising, and tried to create the least daunting path to where the music really lives. Results showed me that this works. That's why I got so excited about what Pete is doing. He embraces these same principles, but has developed them into an amazingly direct and effective system, creating a solid infrastructure in which beginning and intermediate players can find their own path of least resistance. And while most banjo teachers influence a few dozen students, Pete is reaching thousands at his jam camps and banjo camps, and hundreds of thousands with his instruction books and videos.
I'm sure that Pete Wernick's curriculum for banjo and bluegrass is the most effective, in that it results in the lowest drop-out rate for beginners. Less obviously, but maybe more importantly, I also feel that it is producing not just more players, but better players: musicians who don't play by rote memory, with better timing, who are sensitive, creative, and mutually supportive.
When I rediscovered his website last summer I sent him an email, in which I said "…when I read your responses in Ask Dr. Banjo, I'm tempted to stand up and shout Hooray!" I sensed a bit of a blush in his response, but my praise was understated. The future of the banjo and bluegrass couldn't be in better hands.
I truly am happy that I have been able to attend your camps and never expected to be in this position to enjoy playing so much.
Pete has been many places making friends and spreading the gospel of learning bluegrass, and at the IBMA, he was in the reviews in a very positive light.
Some jam campers were at the Augusta Bluegrass Week the last week of July, 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed Pete's leading role in the programs. He was the instructor for the advanced banjo class. The feedback on that class made me wish that I was qualified to be in it. I am not. Most enjoyable was Pete's sense of humor on stage for two performances during the week. Mixing stand-up, impromptu comedy with renditions of his original compositions was a highlight of the concerts.
He introduced his new Flexigrass album, What The… and if you do not have it, I suggest that you own it to see a new possibility with creative musicians. Pete was the artist of note that was featured on Friday afternoon. He spoke on the topics we have heard, jamming, instruction, getting groups together, singing, etc.
He was also a force in the late night jams and when the music became way out in the wee hours of Friday morning at the Ice House, Pete was in the middle of the fun. These jams with top of the line musicians are a marvel. Pete also was initiated as an Augusta Instructor by attempting to catch popcorn in his mouth dropped from two floors above in the Ice House. Catching falling popcorn was difficult, until the whole bag was dumped on his upturned countenance. He was a good sport. We also noticed that the college store was selling flowered shirts just like Pete wears.
I just read the November Banjo Newsletter with the news from the IBMA Convention in Nashville. Again those listening to Flexigrass were impressed and were not threatened that something different was presented to the bluegrass community. Very positive comments were shared by Casey Henry in a review of the IBMA week. Also a review of the album in a separate article praises the creative combinations in Flexigrass. So Pete is very visible at the top of the bluegrass scene, doing impressive work, and he still has time for us who are just learning to enjoy bluegrass.
I'd just like to add my thoughts to the topic. I think that we jam campers have a unique opportunity in working with Pete. Think about it, how many times do you have the chance to work with a master musician? not only that, but with his banjo instruction books and videos and his bluegrass songbook (for my money the best use of tab notation to quickly convey the melody) he's "written the book" on bluegrass instruction! As a teacher, I learn a lot about the art of teaching at these workshops, as a musician I am challenged and inspired. I feel like we're part of an exciting movement spreading the gospel of jamming or community building through music. What a great scene to be a part of!
Pete is a fabulous teacher. He's very personable, patient and encouraging, and he ensures each student gets individual attention. He is keen to work with banjo players at whatever level they happen to be at, and to instill in them the skills to move them to the next level of musicianship. His approach is focused on enabling his students to play with other musicians: to give beginners the skills and confidence to participate in jams and to help more seasoned players to tastefully complement the music in their bands or jam groups. He encourages his students to jam both within and outside of his classes, and this makes for a fun, rewarding atmosphere where students can apply what they've learned.
Besides teaching how to play bluegrass banjo, he brings to his classes a wealth of folklore about the banjo, about bluegrass music and about bluegrass pioneers and innovators. From years of experience as a performer, author, teacher and as long-time President of the International Bluegrass Music Association, he knows pretty much everyone who is anyone in the bluegrass world.
I really like the "Especially for teachers." I'm trying to get the word out about your this, so other beginners won't have to go through what I went through.
You're a great teacher and a big influence on me.
I was one of the teachers who attended the teachers' workshop at the Joe Val festival in Framingham, MA last year. I have to tell you that your playing banjo workshop was the highlight of the festival for me. I decided I'd just have to get a five string banjo and learn to play it, and by the beginning of April I had got one and started learning to play, practicing every chance I got. By the summer I had been to a couple of slow Jams. I've been leading the classroom kids in traditional songs, using my banjo, and have also been composing songs for our use in the classroom– some chorus and multi verse songs on topics the kids suggest.
This weekend was the Joe Val festival again, which I attended again, but this time as an "advanced beginner" banjo player.
I just received word that we've received a grant to outfit a small "Acoustic String Band Jam" project in our middle school. We'll be receiving 3 banjos, 2 mandolins, 2 guitars and an acoustic bass within the next couple of weeks. I have at least three students who already have their own banjos and a new but growing guitar program here, so I hope to be able to give a good report on our progress in exploring American roots music through the String Band Jam later this year.
I did the same as most of you did, got a banjo and wanted to play a tune straight away. I did. I learnt Banjo In The Hollow. However, that was all I could play. I couldn't play with anybody else because nobody wanted to play Banjo In The Hollow for hours at a time. A few years later, long after I had given up on bluegrass, I went to a banjo festival in Scotland. There was a beginners banjo class on the Saturday morning and within half an hour he had about twenty of us all playing Tom Dooley and having a great time. If only I'd had a teacher like that. The only other teacher I've seen who does that is Pete Wernick. The sad part for me is that I bought Pete's video very soon after I got the banjo. I watched it and thought, this isn't for me. I want to play Cripple Creek and Foggy Mountain Breakdown, I don't want to strum along with people. How I wish I had.
I really want to thank you and Joan for all you are doing to encourage people to participate and get involved in making music. It has certainly made my life fuller and I have accomplished far more than I ever thought possible when I started trying an instrument.
I wanted to take a few minutes from my marathon practice session today to write and thank you for the wonderful help you gave all of us last week (Augusta Heritage Bluegrass Program 2007). I recorded all of the lessons and have been listening to them during my daily commute, and it is incredible how much I learned, but more importantly how much more I am going to learn over the next months and years with the tools you provided. Thanks to good luck and good planning I am pretty close to being able to retire from my day job and I plan to make music a much bigger part of my life, so your tips on how to approach learning from a professional viewpoint were very useful and inspiring.
But even beyond that, what most impressed my about the classes was your approach to us as students. You were very patient and attentive to all questions, able to see past the specific question to underlying issues, and then patiently take the time with the student to get him/her on the right track. That's a gift only the best teachers (of anything) have. I really appreciated that you were caring, generous, considerate, but also insisted on things being done right.
You are also very entertaining and funny, which was also great.
Already my sound is much better and I am listening to myself much more critically (in a good way). We have our biggest gig of the year coming up in a couple of weeks and I am planning to nail my part. You know, by getting it right 10 times in a row, esp. the first time. I really get the idea of going from fear to pleasant anticipation.
Anyway, thanks so much – your class was a real breakthrough for me, and I'm sure it has been for many others. I hope our paths cross again in the not too distant future.
I want to thank you on behalf of fledgling banjo pickers everywhere for what you do. Pete, I have just about every DVD and book on banjo playing out there, and I do learn something from each of them, but you have the ability to make me think I can play anything (with practice, practice, practice, of course)! Your teaching style is second to none and I thoroughly enjoy coming home and picking with your jamming DVDs, though I haven't progressed beyond the slow-jam, I listen to the intermediate one all of the time. I have become a huge fan of Hot Rize, and I also am really impressed with Flexigrass.
If I am ever in the area when you are conducting one of your camps, you can bet I'll be there.
Just wanted to thank you again for the stimulating sessions you put together for the SPBGMA workshop in Nashville last Friday.
Speaking as someone who tries to learn without the benefit of a teacher, I want to compliment you on your insightful style of teaching us "how to fish' rather than just giving us the fish. It's easy to get hooked on all the tablature that's out there today, but it can postpone indefinitely the real "woodshedding" we all need to go through in order to truly "make music". Your appreciation of that fact, coupled with your genuine encouragement and realistic instruction, makes the journey much more credible and a lot less intimidating.
For the last week or so, I have been "glued" to your website; reading everything you have on there. I think your philosophy of how new students should be taught 110% right. I love music and I love the sound of the Banjo…too bad I didn't have a teacher like you when I was younger. Even now, you have put me into the right frame-of-mind to start playing again. Thanks for being there.
My playing has improved dramatically. Your instruction and video tapes are the reason things are coming together. Yesterday was the first time I played on TV. I played a lot of the backup licks I learned from you. There is another element that is probably most important to me and that is your encouragement. All of your students raved about what a wonderful teacher and person you are. Your caring made us all try that much harder.
Our band is moving right along. We have a rapidly developing schedule for the summer. I owe everything I play to you Pete. Without attending your Basic Skills Camp, I never would be playing at the level I am now, nor would I be so disciplined in practice. It is simply amazing what spending a week with you can accomplish. Like learning a new language, complete immersion with a worthy guide (yourself) is the most effective learning tool I've found.
I've gotten more out of it than I could have imagined. My practice techniques have changed, my goals have changed, and I'm excited again.
In the middle of our practice session Friday night my mando player screams out in the middle of a song "thank you Pete Wernick." I asked him what's up and he said, "I don't know what Pete did to you but your sound and the way you play is much better". So thank you Pete. We have taken our first festival gig in May in the North Ga. mountains.
I took your advice about pro-actively seeking pickers. I went to one of the largest Jams around and kept the banjo in its case and did nothing but network. You were right! There is one jam just down the street that meets every Tuesday. That generated another jam on Friday only two blocks away. Pickers are now coming out of the woodwork! Thanks for the tip and best of luck to you.
My students are out jamming after lesson #2. Thank you, Pete Wernick, for this idea. As soon as they have an understanding of chords (the three shapes and ability to move between them) they're playing with others. Even without being able to play one single tune they can have a blast and are learning how to pay attention to what they are doing while noticing what others are doing.
…wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your article about teaching beginning banjo students. I teach a beginner's class here in Denver. After reading your article, I decided to restructure the class and shift the focus from learning a lot of exercises to keeping it simple and teaching them to jam on some fairly easy two and three chord songs. At the beginning of my second class, I announced that we were going to have a jam session, and all of my students sort of freaked out. None of them felt they were ready to jam, but after our first round of "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain" everyone in the room was grinning from ear to ear. It reminded me of the excitment and joy that I got out of the banjo when I first began, and I felt like I was able to share that for the first time. What a thrill!!
What got me started on the banjo again was your article in Banjo Newsletter. Your comments were so right on about what teachers do!! So I got inspired again, bought your tape and off I go.
I've been involved at the highest levels of rowing and it's not often that a top level oarsman becomes a very good coach. You are one of the best teachers or coaches I've encountered and are as good a banjo player as I have heard. You've shown me what I can strive for and that I can have a blast even if I'm never that good. One thing that comes through in all of your sessions is the passion that you have for the banjo, bluegrass music, and teaching. The most important thing that your students come away with is a bit of that passion… I know I did.
The banjo camp was responsible for helping me break out of tablature dependence, and which gave me the encouragement to work out melodies on my own, as well as removing some of the fear of playing around others.
I highly recommend studying with Pete. I did a Pete Wernick banjo camp about five years ago, and I walked away not knowing exactly what I had learned. It took a while to soak in, and after a couple of years this is what I realized I got out of the camp: Pete shows you how bluegrass banjo works. There is something for every banjo player in Pete's classes. He is a professional musician through and through, and just that alone is worth being around.

Q: double integral for branch function Consider the function f defined by
f(x,y)=\begin{cases}4xy & y\le -x\\2x+y &  y>-x\\\end{cases}
Calculate $$\iint_{R}f(x,y) \operatorname dx \operatorname dy$$
where R = [-2,2] x [0,3].
My difficulty is not knowing how to solve the integral, but knowing which branch of the function to use and the respective limits
Can you help me?
thanks

A: Consider the inequalities plot of $-2\le x\le 2, 0\le y\le 3, y\le-x$:

Thus the integral is
$$\int\limits_{-2}^{0} \int\limits_0^{-x} (4xy-2x-y)\, \mathrm{d}y \,\mathrm{d}x
+\int\limits_{-2}^{2} \int\limits_0^3 (2x+y)\, \mathrm{d}y \,\mathrm{d}x.$$

Floral Egg Crab (Epoch - Poisonous Creatures)
Started by bmathison1972, December 03, 2017, 12:10:42 AM
bmathison1972
Location: Salt Lake City, UT, U.S.A.
Walkaround of the floral egg crab, Atergatis floridus (Linnaeus, 1767) by Epoch, Poisonous Creatures (unknown date). I think the official name of the set may have been 'The Poison'. My translating software isn't being consistent. Atergatis floridus is distributed from southeast Asia to Australia to Hawaii, where it lives on coral and rocky shores. The species epithet floridus refers to the floral pattern on its carapace; it does not occur in Florida nor the southeastern United States (at least natively). If you wonder why a crab was included in a set of poisonous creatures (there were two actually, including a coconut crab), it is because this species can be very poisonous when eaten!
This figure has been a Holy Grail figure of mine. All three arthropods in the set, but this one in particular because it is a 'unique' species! The other arthropods were the aforementioned coconot crab and an emperor scorpion. There was also three kinds of poison dart frogs, a Gila monster, and a cow fish. The 'secret' was a cooked coconut crab on a platter.
The figure, unlike the other two arthropods in the set, is solid-piece of PVC. The carapace is 30 mm across, making it 1:3 for an average-sized specimen. It comes with a half-eaten fish prey (that does not attach to it). Unlike other figures in the set, it does not come with a base. Bases for Epoch figures usually do not have a means of secure attachment.
On to the pics:

Oh, and I almost thought we would have the rare occasion of bryozoans represented in figure form - or at least printed on a figure!
Quote from: brontodocus on December 04, 2017, 08:57:23 PM
Is that what the lace-like structures are? I thought it was their natural pattern. I cannot find any reference to them being some kind of symbiotic or phoretic organism?!?
Quote from: bmathison1972 on December 04, 2017, 09:18:09 PM
No, actually I think you got it right in the first place, I think it's meant to be the colour pattern instead of bryozoans. That was only my first thought...

Q: Missing expression in split syntax in perl I haven't done much (any really) perl programming and today someone sent me some code to review in perl.  Mostly I can understand what's happening but there was one line that I simply cannot get my head around, the split function in the code block below
 while(<>) {
   chomp;
   my($v1, $v2, $v3, $v4) = split(/,/);

   # ....

I read this blog post and it suggests that the syntax is valid (and I believe that it is).  But what I don't understand is what exactly is being split with the Expression missing

A: The split documentation explains what happens when each argument is omitted.

If only PATTERN is given, EXPR defaults to $_.

A: This code uses a number of shortcuts.  It is equivalent to this:
while(defined($_ = readline(ARGV))) {
   chomp($_);
   my($v1, $v2, $v3, $v4) = split(/,/, $_, 5);

The View From Up Here
Quite some weather they've been having in Europe. These last few weeks flights have been cancelled at Heathrow, Rome had its first heavy snowfall in 26 years, and the City of Lights was blanketed in white as well. Although the photos look magical to me, it's usually not the kind of weather travelers hope for. Blizzard conditions like these are actually what I obsessed about potentially affecting our trip to Switzerland in December - airport closures, zero visibility, intolerable cold.

But we were lucky. Sooooo very lucky. Our first day in the Alps it snowed softly all day long, and the girls were overjoyed. True divine intervention, however, happened on our ski day, New Year's Day. Six of the girls in our group had never skied or snowboarded before and were scheduled to take a lesson. I know from personal experience how miserable lessons are when you're cold and wet and can't see past your hands in front of you. But I was more concerned with my daughter and another girl who were planning to take to the slopes on their own. One look at the Adelboden trail map and its 42 lifts, 85 runs, and 106 miles of ski surface and I was sure they would end up in Austria if they got lost in poor visibility.
Imagine our joy when we woke up on New Year's Day to glorious sunshine! The view that morning was intensely spectacular:
Adelboden village on New Year's Day.
In town that morning, all eleven of us took the TschentenAlp gondola up to the top of the mountain and were greeted by even more fabulous views.
I felt immediately confident that the two young snow bunnies would have no trouble finding the lifts or seeing the runs, so I sent them on their way with a trail map and a few granola bars.
The warm sunshine lasted all day and I was so thankful for our stroke of luck with the weather. The six girls who took snowboarding lessons had no complaints, except about the bumps and bruises on their backsides from repeated falls on the slopes. Most of the conversation that evening bubbled around Thor, or Dag, or whatever strong one-syllabled Norse name their handsome young instructor had. More wise and worldly than I might have given them credit for, the girls figured out soon enough that most of his gratuitous bungling of the English language was aimed at flirting with his cute teenage pupils. I'm sure I know what they dreamed about that night, but I dreamed about the incredulous view of the snow-covered Alps and Adelboden valley from up on top of that gorgeous mountain.
Some sunshine with the snow makes all the difference. We're currently in Klosters and my husband and daughters who are skiing, are enjoying the same kind of weather.

It was the time around mid 90's. A woman dropped her children at the school. One was in pre-nursery and the elder one in class One. The school was a few miles away from their home. After dropping them she went to see a relative. Meanwhile, a crackdown was placed in the area. All schools were shut; all roads were sealed. There was a tip-off of some militant hideout in the area. Men were taken out from their homes and assembled in a field. When this news broke out to the lady she rushed back home quickly to get her children back home safely.
While on the way back she found that the roads have been blocked and there was no way of reaching the school or home. She was worried and disheartened but she didn't lose hope.
She decided to cross the river Jhelum but there was no bridge. It had been burnt down during the ongoing conflict in the valley. The only means of communication was the boat which was also closed down. The only option left for her was to walk over the narrow Weir which could be quite dangerous to cross. Only one person can walk over it at a time and Jhelum wasn't dried-up back then. This lady thought that this is the only choice left for her now.
She Crossed It. She didn't let any impediment deter her. She left the fear at the other side of the Weir. She walked the street, which was full of army men, without any fear and nobody stopped her. She reached home only to find out that her children were brought home by a concerned neighbour. Her children saw her and hugged her. Little did they know of the courageous act of their mother. They were too naive to comprehend.
And that lady is my mother. That two children- Me and my elder brother. I am the daughter of that fearless mother who refused to give up on the tough situation, who can cross any barrier for her children. I have inherited that courage and fearlessness from my mother.
May Allah bless the Mothers of everyone and especially the Mothers of a conflict zone, their life isn't that easy. The sacrifices they make every day for their children can never be gauged.

Great! congratulations. look forward to it.
Great news! I'm a Slow Cinema director from Kenya. My PhD thesis is on Slow Cinema as well. Looking forward to reading and contributing to the journal in future.
great idea, but why not simply publish a virtual journal? browsing will get you the index page and cover, a donation access to that edition, a subscription for a number of issues.
far less expense and time for you….
I think my answer is very short for this one: I'm a sucker for hardcopies 🙂 I love holding something in my hand, and I hate reading on a screen. I could possibly offer the journal both online and as a hardcopy, but I'll go for the latter first and see how it works out.
I think it will be a great great idea, the classification of slow cinema need a complete theory to "make sure" weather it is a genre or a sub-genre, or it is just a kind of "artistic expression" of filmmaking. In China, there still lack a specific Chinese traslation of slow cinema, although there are quite a number of filmmakers have produced slow cinema works. I think more people are trying to discuss it or to delimit a new genre. Since the book Slow Cinema (2016, ed. Tiago de Luca and Nuno Barradas Jorge) was published, I was about to hope that slow cinema should earn more concentration. If this plan can be put on the aganda, please do add me in. Best wishes to you!
Two great minds think alike? 😉 I'll jot down your name and will be in touch for the second issue.
Nice, I'll have a copy for sure!
I love the way you write about Slow Cinema. I will wait for the first edition of your new Journal.

EPK - The Deep Shining Sea - Girl There's Something You Should Know
The Deep Shining Sea bring you their debut single - "Girl There's Something You Should Know" - The track is set for a March 13th release and will be available on all major download platforms. The track begins with a toned back, melodic vibe. The drums like the tick-tock of a beating heart and the bass like a deep breath of air, give the guitars room to bounce off each other.
The seemingly sombre lyrics catch you unaware as it bursts into life following a descending guitar riff. With an anthemic chorus the track hits hard with its incisive immediacy.
The next verse is backed by a punchy drum beat giving the listener that satisfying opportunity to bop their head in time with the beat.
The vocal performance rises throughout the song as the lyrics reveal a realisation that the protagonist is in the midst of toxic relationship. This becomes apparent with the line "You could be the reason why".
The second chorus powers in and the track progresses onto a modestly effective guitar solo. This works well as the middle eight erupts, taking the track in a different direction for a brief but exciting moment.
Finally, the lyrics resolve when the line "it's not love, it's the end" is repeated with definitive audacity signalling the final nail in the coffin of the aforementioned toxic relationship. This gutsy outro is backed with the band blasting through the chorus chord progression.
The track has proven itself to be a crowd pleaser during live shows.
WHO WE ARE: Formed in Paisley in 2018 The Deep Shining Sea are, Steven Hillcoat - Guitars, vocals. Jamie McLachlan - Drums. Gareth Fairley - Bass.
We play indie/pop/rock guitar music. Our live shows are uplifting and anthemic. Driven by a penchant towards Scottish indie bands such as, Teenage fanclub, The Jesus & Mary chain, Mogwai and The Beta Band, The Close Lobsters, Belle & Sebastian and Arab Strap to name a few. The Deep Shining Sea intend to tip their hat towards AND continue this lineage of quality from the Scottish music scene. WHAT WE HAVE DONE: 2019 was a FANTASTIC year for us. Our list of achievements, Including Butefest 2019 saw us supporting 80's pop stars The Blow Monkeys and supporting the chart-topping 90's act Toploader. We then rounded our year off in December with our first headline show in our hometown of Paisley to a great reception! WHERE WE ARE HEADING: On March 13th 2020 we will be releasing our debut single " Girl There's Something You Should Know". The release will be backed up with a string of live shows around Scotland. Stay tuned!

Glenn Fine rips FBI for 'serious misuse' of Patriot Act
Washington, D.C. - The FBI is guilty of "serious misuse" of the power to secretly obtain private information under the Patriot Act, a government audit said Friday.
The Justice Department's inspector general looked at the FBI's use of national security letters (NSLs), which agents send to third parties demanding personal and business information about individuals -- such as financial, phone, and Internet records -- without court orders. Civil libertarians have slammed the practice.
"While national security letters are an important investigative tool, the FBI needs to ensure that it uses this authority in full accord with the national security letter statutes, attorney general guidelines, and FBI policies," said Inspector General Glenn A. Fine in the report.
"We concluded that many of the problems we identified constituted serious misuse of the FBI's national security letter authorities."
The review examined whether there were "improper" or "illegal" uses of NSLs, and identified "26 possible intelligence violations" that occurred between 2003 and 2005, 19 of which the FBI reported to the president's Intelligence Oversight Board, the audit says. Of the 26, "22 were the result of FBI errors, while four were caused by mistakes made by recipients of the NSLs," it said.
The FBI responds to the Inspector General's report: - In the post-9/11 world, the National Security Letter (NSL) remains an indispensable investigative tool. NSLs contribute significantly to the FBI's ability to carry out its national security responsibilities by directly supporting its counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and intelligence missions. NSLs also allow the FBI to obtain information to eliminate concerns about individuals and close down investigations with a high degree of confidence there is no terrorism or adverse intelligence-gathering threat. We are pleased the Inspector General concurs with the FBI concerning the value of the NSL tool.
"The Inspector General conducted a fair and objective review of the FBI's use of a proven and useful investigative tool," said Director Robert S. Mueller, III, "and his finding of deficiencies in our processes is unacceptable. We strive to exercise our authorities consistent with the privacy protections and civil liberties that we are sworn to uphold. Anything less will not be tolerated. While we've already taken some steps to address these shortcomings, I am ordering additional corrective measures to be taken immediately," Mueller said.
Importantly, the OIG found no deliberate or intentional misuse of authorities, whether NSL statutes or Attorney General Guidelines. Nevertheless, the OIG review identified several areas of inadequate auditing and oversight of these vital investigative tools, as well as inappropriate processes, and these are findings of significant concern.
As a result, Director Mueller is implementing reforms to the process designed to correct those deficiencies identified - with accountability. Those steps include strengthening internal controls, changing policies and procedures to improve oversight of the NSL approval process, barring certain practices identified in the Inspector General's report, and ordering an expedited inspection.
The FBI will work together with DOJ's National Security Division and the Privacy and Civil Liberties Office to implement these reforms. Throughout this process, the FBI will continue to work closely with the OIG to gauge progress and consider any additional reforms.
In its review, the OIG took into consideration the environment in which the Bureau has functioned over the last five years. Since September 11, 2001, as the report noted, the FBI has undergone major reorganization. The men and women of the Bureau's Counterterrorism Division, in particular, have carried an extraordinary workload, transforming operations while working at a breakneck pace protect Americans. The OIG also recognized the importance of NSLs, citing a number of instances in which they have been used by the FBI to gather the basic building blocks of its counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations.
The deficiencies identified, however, require the FBI to redouble its efforts to ensure we do not repeat the mistakes in the use of these authorities, however lacking in intent. Any report of possible violations of legal authorities will continue to be carefully reviewed, and, if warranted, referred to the appropriate entities. If we determine that we obtained any information to which we were not legally entitled, whether due to FBI or third-party error, that information will be sealed, sequestered, and where appropriate, destroyed. In addition, employee conduct related to these violations will be reviewed and, if appropriate, employees will be disciplined.
The OIG report made ten recommendations in response to its findings, designed to provide both the necessary controls over the issuance of NSLs and the creation and maintenance of accurate records. Director Mueller assured the Inspector General, in a detailed response included in the report, that the FBI fully supports each recommendation.
The FBI concurs with the Inspector General that, when implemented, these reforms can improve the accuracy of the reporting of the use of NSLs and ensure compliance with the requirements governing their use. Along with those already put in place, these reforms will ensure full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the authorities entrusted to the Bureau, and will strengthen the process, alleviate concerns, and ensure the confidence of the Congress and the American public, while allowing the FBI to continue to protect the nation from those who would do us harm.

Join the siyum on Maseches Kiddushin L'Zchus Shidduchim!!!
Who is making the siyum?
Where is the siyum being held?
Let us remember the important lesson from this holiday. The girls would go out to greet the boys in borrowed white clothing. Even those who posessed their own, borrowed in order not to ashame those who did not have.
Let us keep in mind that we must go out our way not to embaress another person. It says ואהבת לרעך כמוך, love your fellow human being just like yourself. They also have a heilige neshama just like you being just as good as you are.


Do you hate when your out and about and your phone or IPad/Kindle dies? How about when your kids play games on your phone while your out and drains the battery. I know both situations occur frequently for me and if I am not at home or in my car then I can't charge either device. Now thanks to the Wusic power bank I can keep my stuff charged no matter where I am at.
I love how compact and easy to take with you this power bank is. The power bank is smaller then my phone which makes it easy to carry with me in my purse or diaper bag. It has two USB ports on the top so you can easily charge two devices at the same time. This little power bank comes in very handy when you are traveling and need to keep your devices charged while in the car.
The Wusic power bank comes in several fun colors and is a great emergency power supply. Power is maintained at 80% for up to 3 months of not being used. The power bank has a LED power indicator on the front and flashlight built in. The Wusic USB ports are compatible with pretty much every device smart phones, tablets, iPods, computers, laptops, Bluetooth speakers and more!
The Wusic power bank would make a great gift or stocking stuffer for the electronic lover in your household. Make sure you stop by their website and check them out and all the other great products that they offer.
Oh this is cool. Me and the kids all use those little power stick thingy's to power up our phones when we're out but I wonder how this compares... I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info!
Ugh, I have a couple of generic ones and they're not very good! This one looks awesome! I love that it has two usb ports. I also like how compact it is. I'm constantly on the go so I need this bad boy!
Awesome Product!! And yes, my kids are in the bad habit of killing the battery on the iPad and then not plugging it back in!
Very efficient written information. It will be beneficial to anybody who utilizes, including me. Keep up the good work.!! I really recommend other to read this article.

Reebok Launches Compelling New Campaign Celebrating Physicality and Human Connection
Brand launches new campaign, 'HANDS', the latest evolution of Be More Human; makes thousands of top trainers available for free in key cities across the U.S. this week
CANTON, Mass. – JANUARY 17, 2016 – Today global fitness leader Reebok launches a rousing suite of films that champion the hard work and physicality that lead people to more enriched lives, and celebrate the value of human connection.
The series is the latest evolution of the brand's Be More Human rally cry, which encourages people to be the best possible version of themselves physically, mentally and socially, continuing Reebok's mission to change how people perceive and experience fitness.
The series examines the physical blemishes – from calloused, scarred hands to a worn-out pair of running shoes – upon which our life stories are written. The first film, 'Hands' is a gritty examination of people pushing their bodies to their physical limits, through the tight framing of their beaten hands. 'Mom' is a touching look into the relationship between a mother and her daughter, who comes across her mother's Nano sneakers when trying on heels in her closet. Upon finding the shoes, she gains a newfound admiration for her tough CrossFit parent. The final film, 'Slide' tells the story of a man whose life is suddenly disrupted, so he turns to running in an attempt to find purpose and focus as he attempts to rebuild his life.
The message at the heart of the series is that as our bodies, and gear, change, so do we - becoming braver, kinder, more confident and ultimately more connected human beings, to ourselves and to others. Each film can be viewed at www.reebok.com/storiesofprogress
To celebrate the launch, thousands of ReebokONE trainers will be available across 10 U.S. cities from Tuesday, Jan. 17, to Friday, Jan. 20, offering workouts in exchange for a simple handshake as a way to physically and socially connect people through fitness. Consumers will be able to book a free workout through new trainer-on-demand app Handstand in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and Miami and participate in the session anytime during January.
"We're tremendously excited to move into this next phase of Be More Human, the philosophy that underpins everything we do," said Yan Martin, Vice President, Global Brand Communications at Reebok. "Crucial to this content is a recognition of the importance of human connection, of using the body as a vehicle to communicate with one another and through which we strive to reach our potential. There could be no better expression of this than offering trainers from our ReebokONE network to provide workouts in key cities, and only asking for a handshake in return. We look forward to seeing the impact this will have on people from all walks of life and across the country."
The ReebokONE network is a global community of more than 100,000 trainers, each dedicated to improving people's lives through fitness. With the average price of a personal one-hour workout at an estimated $50, over the course of the four-day movement Reebok will provide up to $250,000 worth of free training sessions.
The robust digital and print campaign will be supported by 'Stories of Progress', a compelling online platform that is an extension of the Be More Human experience, featuring a range of inspirational influencer stories among other engaging content. Rich storytelling will continue at brand events, retail touchpoints and Reebok FitHub locations.
"Our hands and our shoes say a lot about what we've been through and who we are as people," said Will McGinness, ECD at Venables Bell & Partners. "We wanted to embrace that truth to further dimensionalize what Be More Human is all about. We're showing that this commitment to pushing yourself physically can have an impact on your life beyond fitness."
The film series was directed by Diego Contreras and created by Venables Bell & Partners in San Francisco, CA.

T. gondii serointensity was associated with history of suicidal behaviour in younger patients.
These data are consistent with previous studies suggesting a relationship between T. gondii and self-directed aggression.
These results are consistent with previous reports on the association between T gondii infection and nonfatal suicidal self-directed violence.

Dec 19: Big Ten Championship Game.
Ohio State's football season is scheduled to start Oct. 24 with a game against Nebraska at Ohio Stadium and the Michigan game has returned to its traditional position as the final regular-season game on the latest revised Big Ten schedule, which was announced Saturday.
This schedule was put together since the Big Ten announced on Wednesday that it would play football this season, reversing an Aug. 11 decision not to play because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
OSU's second game, at Penn State on Oct. 31, will be possibly the biggest game in the Big Ten this season.
The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are regarded as the two best teams in the Big Ten and as possible College Football Playoff contenders.
After that match-up, Ohio State has a home game against Rutgers on Nov. 7. It goes to Maryland Nov. 14, is at home against Indiana on Nov. 21, plays at Illinois on Nov. 28, goes to Michigan State on Dec. 5 and faces Michigan at Ohio Stadium on Dec. 12.
The Big Ten championship game is scheduled Dec. 19 in Indianapolis.
This year, every Big Ten team will have a game the week of the championship game. The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh teams in the East Division will play the teams in the same position in the West Division.
It is possible some Big Ten games will be played on days other than Saturday. Those scheduling decisions will be made at a later date.
Ohio State originally was scheduled to start its season Sept. 5 against Bowling Green before the Big Ten announced in July it would play a conference only schedule, which had OSU opening the season on Sept. 3 at Illinois.
No plans for fans to attend games have been decided
That schedule was canceled by the conference's Aug. 11 decision.

UK may reconsider lockdown, after vaccinating 15 million vulnerable people
by Johnson Uche
in Coronavirus
British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson
The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is considering how soon to relax the lockdown, having successfully vaccinated 15 million of its most vulnerable people, though the health minister is quite skeptical as death and hospital admission numbers are still on the high side.
According to a Reuters report, the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock;
"We've got to watch the data. Everybody wants to get out of this as quickly as we safely can, and both as quickly, but also as safely, are important.
"The question is a judgement of how quickly and safely… how quickly we can do that safely. That's the judgement that we're making this week… looking at the data… ahead of the prime minister setting out the road map, on the 22nd."
An influential group of lawmakers in Johnson's Conservative Party is calling for the end of lockdown as soon as the most vulnerable nine groups are vaccinated. They are seeking that lockdown rules should not be extended beyond May 1.

According to Steve Baker, Member of Parliament,
"We're all filled with sorrow for the people we've lost, the harms that we've suffered but we don't honour those we've loved and lost by wrecking the rest of our lives.
"We've got to find a way to rebuild our society and our economy and our prospects, our livelihoods."
The United Kingdom has the world's fifth-worst official death toll — currently 117,166 — after the United States, Brazil, Mexico, and India.
Over two months, nearly a quarter of the UK's population has been vaccinated with a first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine,
Lately, PM Johnson has been under intense pressure from some lawmakers and businesses to reopen the shuttered economy.
Britain has vaccinated 15.062 million people with a first dose and 537,715 with a second dose, the fastest roll-out per capita of any large country.
The British government has been speaking to other countries across the world about giving British people certificates showing they had been vaccinated so that they could travel abroad in the future to countries that require them.
According to Hancock, "There is this international work going on because if other countries require (proof of vaccination) we want to allow Brits to be able to travel to those countries.
"We'd want to be able to facilitate that sort of vaccine certification, but it isn't anything we're planning to introduce here. A so-called vaccine passport was not something that would be required to access services in the UK."
