✧ THE COOLEST TOYS EVER: The barely legal pleasure palace
If there's one thing that kids have in common, it's a love of toys. Whether your parents got you ever latest new flashy thing, or you just found an armless GI JOE to pass the time with, toys have played an important role in all of our lives. Here's a loving look at the coolest toys of all time, resulting from an intensive 8 year multi-million dollar study performed by our website.
✧ Sandusky's Lawyer: If You Believe Witness, "I Suggest You Dial 1-800-REALITY." That's A Gay Phone Sex Line.
Joe Amendola, the attorney for Jerry Sandusky who thus far has been lawyerin' like a man who got his J.D. from the bottom of a cereal box, did some more lawyerin' in front of the cameras this morning. The choicest moment: At one point, Amendola discussed the possibility that Mike McQueary witnessed a rape, told Joe Paterno and two university administrators, and no one did anything except tell Sandusky to stay out of the locker room with kids. To anyone who believes that version of events, Amendola said, "I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY." We did. Here's what we got: Hey guys, welcome to the hottest place for triple-X action. Get ready for bulging, bursting pleasure with horny gay, bi, and bi-curious studs. Just 99 cents per minute.
✧ "Mad Honey" Sex Is A Bad Idea
"Mad honey" is honey made by bees from the nectar of toxic Rhododendron flowers. In places where wild Rhododendrons grow, including Turkey, it's a health hazard. The dangers of mad honey were known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, and it's reported that leaving tainted honeycombs in the path of invading armies was a popular military tactic. 2000 years later, some people still haven't quite got the message. According to a case report from cardiologists Yarlioglues et al, a married couple deliberately ate some mad honey "for reasons of sexual performance".
✧ The Internet Blacklist vs. The Constitution
Last week, two leading Constitutional scholars offered detailed analyses of the Internet blacklist bills now pending in Congress, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect-IP, or PIPA. Both scholars concluded that the proposed law could not pass muster under the U.S. Constitution. So you'd think that the new version of SOPA circulated this week would have resolved those concerns. You'd think wrong. While the revised SOPA briefly mentions the First Amendment, the substantive text makes clear that's just lip service. Here's a selection of fundamental flaws that remain in both SOPA and PIPA:
✧ Rosemount High parent-on-student kissing prank has principal apologizing
A prank on some blindfolded Rosemount High School athletes — they were unknowingly and at times amorously kissed by their parents during a recent pep fest — is collecting YouTube views by the tens of thousands and has the principal apologizing for what happened… …The captains of the school's winter sports teams — boys and girls — were lined up and blindfolded. They were told they would be kissed and then asked to guess who was on the other side of their lips. Some of the parents during the 59-second YouTube video are seen holding the kisses for several seconds, cupping their child's faces or embracing and swaying. One mother moved her son's hand down to her behind during the encounter. Another mom has her son down on the gym floor to the delight of two male students nearby. The hoots, screams and laughter rolled on as the students pulled off their blindfolds to realize it was Mom or Dad they were smooching.
✧ Brain scans should not be used in court… for now
Should an offender's sentence be decided on the basis of a brain scan? A group of neuroscientists have put together a report for the Royal Society to assess this issue and other ways that progress in brain science might impact the law. Neuroscience is already making waves in court: an Italian woman convicted of murder recently had her sentence reduced on the grounds that her behaviour could be explained by abnormalities in her brain and genes. The authors on the Royal Society panel, led by Nicholas Mackintosh of the University of Cambridge, also flag up research that suggests the brains of psychopaths are fundamentally different. This raises the question: should individuals with the brain anatomy of a psychopath have their sentence reduced on the ground of diminished responsibility, or should brain scan evidence be used to keep dangerous individuals locked away?
✧ Gingrich 'proposed the death penalty for marijuana'
Over the weekend, struggling Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson reminded MSNBC viewers that GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich had once to called to punish some drug offenders with death. "Newt Gingrich, in 1997, proposed the death penalty for marijuana — for possession of marijuana above a certain quantity of marijuana," Johnson explained. "And yet, he is among 100 million Americans who've smoked marijuana."
✧ Machine reads your age, gives sample
Big Brother isn't just watching, he's also about to size you up via a new product sampling machine that can determine whether you're the right age — or even the right sex — to receive a sample. Kraft's new sampling machine, developed by Intel, scans your face and can detect it you're an adult or a child and blocks dispensing if you are a child. Today, Kraft Foods, the nation's biggest foodmaker, will roll out in Chicago a device that dispenses its mousse-like Temptations dessert by Jell-O, but only to the product's target market: grown-ups. The machine, developed by Intel, can detect facial age with a special camera that scans your face and determines if you're an adult or a kid. If the machine detects a child, it shuts down and asks the child to step away. If it detects an adult — bingo — the sample can be dispensed.
✧ China Keeps Slapping America In The Face And America Just Keeps Taking It
Today, China is absolutely crushing the United States on the global economic stage, but they are hardly playing fair. They shower their own firms with huge government subsidies, they brazenly steal technology, they publicly violate intellectual property rights, they manipulate currency rates so that foreign firms cannot compete with Chinese prices and they slap ridiculously high tariffs on many classes of foreign goods. In short, they basically do everything that they can get away with to give themselves a trade advantage. This predatory behavior has caused an enormous transfer of wealth from the United States to China. It isn't as if it is just some sort of an "accident" that we now owe China about a trillion dollars. The truth is that China just keeps slapping America in the face and America just keeps taking it. We are like an abused spouse that just keeps coming back for more. It is disgraceful and it needs to stop.
✧ As Facebook Aims at Millions of Users, Some Are Content to Sit Out
As Facebook prepares for a much-anticipated public offering, the company is eager to show off its momentum by building on its huge membership: more than 800 million active users around the world, Facebook says, and roughly 200 million in the United States, or two-thirds of the population. But the company is running into a roadblock in this country. Some people, even on the younger end of the age spectrum, just refuse to participate, including people who have given it a try. One of Facebook's main selling points is that it builds closer ties among friends and colleagues. But some who steer clear of the site say it can have the opposite effect of making them feel more, not less, alienated. "I wasn't calling my friends anymore," said Ashleigh Elser, 24, who is in graduate school in Charlottesville, Va. "I was just seeing their pictures and updates and felt like that was really connecting to them."
✧ 10 Ridiculous Things That Make You a Terror Suspect
You thought you weren't doing anything wrong, so why should you care about who they call a terrorist? Well, you may not believe it, but you're likely a terror suspect in America's new paradigm of the Land of the Fear. The government is casting a wide net over its citizens in its search for potential threats. Now, you don't need to actually commit a crime to be hauled away to a detention center and held without charges while you are tortured; you just need to appear suspicious by sympathizing with anti-government views to be labeled a domestic terrorist.
✧ DNA: The next big hacking frontier
Imagine computer-designed viruses that cure disease, new bacteria capable of synthesizing an unlimited fuel supply, new organisms that wipe out entire populations and bio-toxins that target world leaders. They sound like devices restricted to feature-film script writers, but it is possible to create all of these today, using the latest advances in synthetic biology. Just as the personal computer revolution brought information technology from corporate data centers to the masses, the biology revolution is personalizing science.
✧ DNA Hackers: Synthetic biology weaponized virus, zero-day exploit to infect your brain?
From the let's get futuristically freaky department, future hacking crimes could take a decidedly sinister twist; not hacking to breach systems but brains, bodies and behaviors. This DNA hacking goes way beyond potentially using police bees to bust biohackers, or even storing unhackable data in box of bio-encrypted bacteria. It's not science fiction to hack insulin pumps or to use jamming signals to stop hackers from lethal pacemaker attacks, but now bioengineers and security futurists are warning that the day is coming when criminals and bioterrorists hunt for vulnerabilities that will give a new meaning to zero-day exploits. In the future, a weaponized virus will aim to infect you, your brain and body biology, and not just your computer or mobile device.
✧ Woman sues sex toy company after injuring herself using vibrator
A California woman claims a little foreplay nearly put her six feet under. April Bonjour says her pleasure turned quickly to pain while using a "vibrator/dildo" with her boyfriend last November when the sex toy caused a sharp vaginal pain and massive bleeding. "I started to get faint from the loss of blood," she wrote in a personal injury complaint filed Aug. 30 in California Superior Court. "My boyfriend called 911. By the time they got there, I was in and out of consciousness." Bonjour, in her suit against Pipedream Products Inc., said both she and her son "thought I was dying … Once we got to the hospital, I had lost so much blood I was given several pints." Thanks Jasmine
✧ Mother tasered and buried alive in cardboard box by 'bored' lover, court told
"Terrified" Michelina Lewandowska, 27, was bound by her hands and feet and left to die in a shallow grave, Leeds Crown Court was told. In a bid to stop her getting free Marcin Kasprzak, her partner and father of their two-year-old son, had a friend help him bury her in a box less than 2ft high and then covered it in soil and leaves and then put a large branch over the top, a jury heard. But she eventually managed to free herself and raise the alarm. A jury was told how Kasprzak, 25, had decided that he no longer wanted to live with his partner and wanted his mother to bring up their young son. In a bid to get her out of the way he used a 300,000 volt electric stun gun on her at their home in Waterloo, Huddersfield, West Yorks, before using parcel tape to gag her and tie her hands and feet.
✧ Woman caught smuggling 1.5kg of cocaine in her dreadlocks on flight to Bangkok
A woman was caught trying to smuggle 1.5 kilograms of cocaine in her dreadlocks on a flight to Bangkok, it was reported today. South African Nobanda Nolubabalo, 23, was arrested and held in Thailand's capital yesterday after customs officers allegedly noticed a suspicious white substance in her hair. Officials later carried out a search and discovered she had allegedly matted the Class A drug into her dreadlocks before boarding a flight from Brazil.
✧ Man dressed as Santa drugs teen at Berlin Christmas market, 9th victim in a week
A man dressed as Santa drugged a 15-year-old girl at a Berlin Christmas market over the weekend — the latest such attack that has seen holiday revelers left either sickened or unconscious, police said Monday. At about 10 p.m. Saturday the suspect approached the girl and her friend at Berlin's downtown Alexanderplatz Christmas market, offering both of them what he said was a shot of alcohol in a paper cup, police said. One girl refused, but the other girl drank both of the shots. She soon started vomiting and had to be taken to the hospital, where she underwent a blood test, before being released. Police said it appeared she had been slipped some type of a date rape drug, but released no further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
✧ Indonesia: Punkers' Mohawks Shaved, Piercings Stripped By Hard-Line Police
Police in Indonesia's most conservative province raided a punk-rock concert and detained 65 fans, buzzing off their spiky mohawks and stripping away body piercings because of the perceived threat to Islamic values. Dog-collar necklaces and chains also were taken from the youths before they were thrown in pools of water for "spiritual" cleansing, local police chief Iskandar Hasan said Wednesday. After replacing their "disgusting" clothes, he handed each a toothbrush and barked "use it."
✧ If you want to drink less, then turn down the music: Alcohol tastes sweeter as noise impairs judgement of intake
Alcohol tastes sweeter when loud music is playing and the noise could make it difficult for drinkers to judge how much they are consuming, new research has claimed. Dr Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth, conducted the first experimental study to find out how music can alter the taste of alcohol. Dr Stafford said: 'Since humans have an innate preference for sweetness, these findings offer a plausible explanation as to why people consume more alcohol in noisy environments.'
✧ Man grows new fingertip on stomach
Doctors in China saved a man's partially-severed finger – by attaching it to his stomach. Furniture worker Wang Yongjun, 20, cut off the end of his middle finger with an electric saw in an accident at work. Wang, of Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, was rushed to hospital where doctors had to think fast. Dr Huang Xuesong said the muscle and skin had been cut away from the end of his finger leaving only the bone showing. "We had to make a quick decision or he could have lost his finger. We decided to cultivate a new fingertip on his stomach," he said. Doctors operated and attached Wang's finger to his stomach in the hope that new skin and muscle would grow around it.
✧ Baby, baby, baby, no: Pay up or be forced to listen to Justin Bieber
For someone who isn't a fan of teen idol Justin Bieber, being forced to listen to one of his songs over and over again could be considered cruel and unusual punishment. At Evanston Township High School this week, they called it a fund-raiser. To motivate their fellow students to donate money for a struggling cafe/arts center popular with ETHS kids, seniors Charlotte Runzel and Jesse Chatz persuaded administrators to let them blast Bieber's hit "Baby" over the school's loudspeaker system at the end of each class period — and not stop playing the song until Runzel and Chatz had met their goal.
✧ Bye Bye Booie! California's smoking chimpanzee who learned sign language dies at 44
A chimpanzee that kicked a smoking habit and used sign language to beg for candy has died at a California animal refuge. Martine Colette, founder of the Wildlife WayStation, said Booie was being treated for a heart condition when he died on Saturday, at the age of 44. The chimp had been living at the animal sanctuary near Los Angeles since 1995, after he retired from a research lab. Ms Colette said she successfully turned Booie away from his smoking habit but could not make a dent in his love of sweets. She said he would use his signing skills to panhandle for candy by signing: 'Booie see sweet in pocket.'
✧ Girl, 13, brought booze-laced milk to school
A Glen Ellyn junior high student brought chocolate milk mixed with Bailey's Irish Cream to school as a "joke," Glen Ellyn police said. Glen Ellyn Deputy Police Chief Bill Holmer said this week the 13-year-old girl allegedly brought the liquor mixed with chocolate milk to Hadley Junior High School on Dec. 9. Holmer said it's unclear if any students actually drank the concoction, but it was "given to some other students who claimed to not know what they were given." The "kid brought this stuff to school claiming it was meant to be a joke," Holmer said. A student at the school informed staff about the drink, who interviewed other students about the incident then called police, Holmer said. Police worked with the juvenile and her parents "regarding enforcement action," according to a police report.
✧ Pig Born Without Back Legs: A Balancing Act Like No Other
Wang taught her to walk on her front hooves and she learned in just a few days. After about a month, she began walking on her own, balancing her weight on her front legs as she moves about. Today, despite a body weight of 50 kg (110 pounds), the piglet walks upside down quite effortlessly.
✧ 14 bomb-sniffing dogs on way to Afghanistan died in truck
The death of 14 bomb-sniffing dogs allegedly housed in an unventilated sealed truck while awaiting air shipment from Houston to military forces in Afghanistan has spawned a lawsuit in which requested damages may top $1 million… In an unsuccessful bid to settle the matter without going to court, a Houston lawyer for the Florida company asked the defendants to pay $1.3 million in damages and $30,000 in legal fees. According to the lawsuit, the animals — Tiny, Rex, Rocky, Crock, Dork, Harrie, Stress, Sigo, Rex, Jaco, Kimbo, Kilo, Albert and Bak — were taken the Houston shipping facility on Dec. 20.
✧ Giant Smiley Feel-o-Meter Reflects the Mood of the City
Fuehlometer (Feel-o-meter) by Richard Wilhelmer, Julius von Bismarck, and Benjamin Maus is a light installation consisting of a giant smiley face that reflects the average mood of the people living in the city. An earlier version of this work originally used a more standard light screen installation instead of kinetically moving the different parts of the smiley face. The average emotional value is calculated through the computational analysis of the faces of people passing a camera located in a specific part of the city,
✧ The teenage politics of the British Churches are summed up by their pathetic Christmas poster
The Baby Jesus will not be visited by Three Wise Men bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh this Christmas. Three different sorts of guys will turn up at the manger, bringing the young Son of God a Fabergé egg, a Swarovski crystal perfume bottle and a Damien Hirst skull. All this is on the seasonal advertising poster issued by the British Churches. There are no shepherds either. These are replaced by a cycle courier and a plasterer. As King Herod himself might have said: "Gee, it's so relevant and accessible it fair sets your teeth on edge." Jesus famously commanded us: "Take no thought for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment? Why take ye thought for raiment?"
✧ As Banks Start Nosing Around Facebook and Twitter, the Wrong Friends Might Just Sink Your Credit
A new wave of startups is working on algorithms gathering data for banks from the web of associations on the internet known as "the social graph," in which people are "nodes" connected to each other by "edges." Banks are already using social media to befriend their customers, and increasingly, their customers' friends. The specifics are still shaking out, but the gist is that eventually, social media will account for at least the tippy-top of the mountain of data banks keep on their customers. "There is this concept of 'birds of a feather flock together,'" said Ken Lin, CEO of the San Francisco-based credit scoring startup Credit Karma. "If you are a profitable customer for a bank, it suggests that a lot of your friends are going to be the same credit profile. So they'll look through the social network and see if they can identify your friends online and then maybe they send more marketing to them. That definitely exists today."
✧ How common is Nazi fancy dress?
It is really very easy to avoid a controversial costume, but that does not seem to stop some people. And one of the most offensive outfits is a Nazi uniform, as Conservative MP Aidan Burley has discovered. The MP for Cannock Chase in Staffordshire has been pictured in a national newspaper sitting next to another man dressed as an SS guard. Burley, who was on a stag do in a French ski resort at the time, has apologised for the "clearly inappropriate behaviour" of some of his friends. In some countries, wearing a swastika armband in public would be illegal But he is not the first person, and will surely not be the last, to hit the headlines over a Nazi costume. Prince Harry is perhaps the most famous Nazi fancy dress costume-wearer in the world. In 2005, he was pictured wearing a German desert uniform and a swastika armband at a friend's birthday party. The fancy dress theme was "colonial and native".
✧ The school of Jay-Z studies
Judging by the amount of fuss he caused, one would think Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson had floated the idea of abolishing child labor laws. In reality, all he had done was announce that this semester he would be teaching a course entitled "Sociology of Hip-Hop – Urban Theodicy of Jay-Z." And it was Glastonbury all over again. The outrage flew from all directions. A SPIN headline referred to "Georgetown's Semi-Ridiculous Jay-Z Class", while the main article nonchalantly mentions that tuition at the university is $40,920, attaching the price to a particularly inarticulate quote from a college sophomore. Gawker was still more ruthless in its takedown, declaring: "One notable thing about Michael Eric Dyson is that although he is very good at being an academic celebrity, he doesn't know shit about hip-hop."
✧ Census data: Half of U.S. poor or low income
Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income. The latest census data depict a middle class that's shrinking as unemployment stays high and the government's safety net frays. The new numbers follow years of stagnating wages for the middle class that have hurt millions of workers and families.
✧ China's deserted fake Disneyland
Situated on an area of around 100 acres, and 45 minutes drive from the center of Beijing, are the ruins of 'Wonderland'. Construction stopped more than a decade ago, with developers promoting it as 'the largest amusement park in Asia'. Funds were withdrawn due to disagreements over property prices with the local government and farmers. So what is left are the skeletal remains of a palace, a castle, and the steel beams of what could have been an indoor playground in the middle of a corn field.
✧ Memphis Cop Sexts & Rapes 14 Year Old Relative
A Memphis police officer is behind bars after investigators say he sent a 14-year-old girl nude pictures and had a sexual relationship with the teen. Officer Ericck Cain, 25, has been charged with aggravated statutory rape and exploitation of a minor by electronic means. Investigators say Cain emailed a naked picture of himself to a 14-year-old relative in January. About six months later, police say, the two had sex in a house in the 5600 block of Cottonwood. "He gave us a statement of admission," said Dave Martello, of the Memphis Police Department. Police say the initial report was made at the Mt. Moriah precinct. One of the teenager's friends came went to the station Monday night and told police everything she knew about the relationship. Police say they do not suspect there are any other alleged victims, but that one is enough. "It's such a disappointment," said Martello."This person is a criminal just like the people that we deal with on the streets every day."
✧ Somalia's Rebels Embrace Twitter
Think of it as the Battle of the Tweets. Somalia's powerful Islamist insurgents, the Shabab, best known for chopping off hands and starving their own people, just opened a Twitter account, and in the past week they have been writing up a storm, bragging about recent attacks and taunting their enemies. "Your inexperienced boys flee from confrontation & flinch in the face of death," the Shabab wrote in a post to the Kenyan Army. It is an odd, almost downright hypocritical move from brutal militants in one of world's most broken-down countries, where millions of people do not have enough food to eat, let alone a laptop. The Shabab have vehemently rejected Western practices – banning Western music, movies, haircuts and bras, and even blocking Western aid for famine victims, all in the name of their brand of puritanical Islam – only to embrace Twitter, one of the icons of a modern, networked society.
✧ 'White Only' Pool Sign Owner Explains
A female landlord, Jamie Hein, had a sign that read, "Public Swimming Pool, White Only" hanging on a gate at her house and her private pool. (Photo credit: Ohio Civil Rights Commission) An Ohio landlord accused of discriminating against an African-American girl with a "white only" sign at her swimming pool told ABCNews.com that the sign was an antique and a decoration. "I'm not a bad person," said Jamie Hein of Cincinnati. "I don't have any problem with race at all. It's a historical sign." The sign in question reads, "Public Swimming Pool, White Only." It is dated 1931 and from Alabama. Hein, 31, was unapologetic about the racist origins of the sign that she displayed at the entrance to her pool. She said she collects antiques and was given the sign as a gift. She also said that even though the sign seems to indicate that the pool is public, the pool is on her private property and "everybody has to ask before getting in my pool."

Here's What Serena Williams Is Up to Post-Pregnancy Announcement
byJason Pham 2 years ago
Photo: BlogHer
Since announcing her pregnancy in an iconic baby-bump Snapchat in April, Serena Williams has kept off the grid—well, that's because she's been hard at work partnering with Purple Purse, a nonprofit by the Allstate Foundation that helps domestic abuse victims acquire safety and financial security. (Oh, and she's also preparing to be a first-time mom. No biggie.)
MORE: 7 Takeaways from Chelsea Clinton, Gabi Gregg, and Others at #BlogHer17
The professional tennis player, who spoke at the BlogHer17 Conference in Orlando on Friday, opened up about it means to help victims of domestic abuse—especially after learning that more than 99 percent of domestic abuse victims are financially abused, which is when an abuser forcibly takes control of its victims finances.
"My whole life has been really dedicated and really getting involved with helping people and helping woman and just human rights." she says. "[Financial abuse] is really something that I think people kind of overlook. It's an invisible form of abuse that people don't really know about and that they don't see. When they think of abuse they think of cuts and bruises and stuff like that."
MORE: Breaking: Serena Williams Is Pregnant
As an Olympic and Wimbledon champion, Williams is no stranger to winning, whether it's on the tennis field or in the negotiation room. She encouraged women to have that same confidence and step up and take what's theirs.
"Winning as women is really important. Women have to always go fit into this mold. I never fit into it," she said. "I was different. I'm strong and I'm proud of it. Winning is something to be proud of. It can be at Wimbledon or it can be in your office. It can be winning that promotion. We shouldn't be afraid for wanting to be better. We should want to be the best."
It's likely Williams will translate that same level of empowerment to her first child, who she will welcome with fiance and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, in the coming weeks (Months? Who knows.) But before the mom-to-be welcomes her own little one, of course she had to go to good ol' mom for her parenting advice. What'd she learn? Well, to be confident, disciplined, and strong—as if we didn't already know strength ran in the Williams family.
"My mom has always been so strong for me. She's been the woman that is literally unbreakable," she said. "When you're young and you're growing up you think you're parents were strict. Then you're older and you ask if they could have been stricter and you really start to appreciate that. When you start a family yourself, it opens up a lot of things in your mind."
That's when Williams made us all feel a special something by revealing that she hopes to emulate her mom's mothering for her own child.
"I feel like all those lessons she taught me of being so strong, proud of who I am, being able to look anyone in the face and have confidence and speak with so much confidence is something I really have been able to embrace and I'd love to teach my child that," she said.
Keep on winning, Serena. We know we will.

Containing tales of danger, greed, and patriotism, Robert H. Patton's Patriot Pirates: The Privateer War for Freedom and Fortune in the American Revolution presents the story of America's seaborne insurgency against British merchant ships and Navy. Privateering, a wartime tactic authorized by Congress and financed by men such as Robert Morris and Nathanael Greene, proved to be a sketchy endeavor for many who took to the high seas to seek their fortunes in an uncertain war.
Ordinarily when we think of the Founding Fathers (Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Adams) we picture powdered wigs and quill pens–not experimental farmers examining handfuls of manure with glee. Andrea Wulf's, Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature, and the Shaping of the American Nation, offers us this new lens with which to view the founding generation. Through their opinions on agriculture and their vision for a nation composed of independent farmers, the Founding Fathers perceived brimming gardens and fertile fields as symbols of America's prosperity and future potential.
What does the story of the American Revolution look like from the "edge" of empire? How did the various groups and peoples of the Gulf Coast perceive and experience this uncertain period of shifting borders and changing political allegiances? Kathleen Duval's, Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution, offers a different look at the American Revolution from this unfamiliar territory. When we broaden our geographic perspective, a global war emerges where the European powers of Spain, France, and Great Britain were vying for territory on the North American continent throughout the last half of the eighteenth century. By weaving together the narrative threads of eight representative characters whose individual choices and motives all differed, Duval challenges the traditional tale of rebel versus loyalist, American liberties versus British liberties.
In 1774 a popular insurgency, led by "ordinary Americans" and organized into local committees of safety, was sweeping the Thirteen Colonies. Basing their authority in the Articles of Association, an act passed by the First Continental Congress to enforce a boycott on British goods, these committees of safety helped propel revolution with their own notions of an American ideology and resistance. In American Insurgents, American Patriots: The Revolution of the People, T.H. Breen traces the rise of these networks of everyday patriots who used social pressure at the local level to create a shared American sense of purpose.
In Peter Thompson's, Rum Punch and Revolution: Taverngoing and Public Life in Eighteenth-Century Philadelphia, taverns and public houses function simultaneously as private-public spaces where people of "mixed" backgrounds could mingle, drink, and eat together. (In this case, mixed does not include slaves, apprentices or Native Americas, who were excluded by law from taverns.) This openness in early tavern culture fostered an environment where men and women of varying social rank would gather and participate in a shared political and social discourse. The following excerpt highlights the changing culture surrounding taverns and political life on the eve of the Revolution as delegates to the First Continental Congress gathered at the City Tavern in 1775.
In the summer of 1778 George Washington authorized the formation of a secret chain of agents known as the Culper Ring. Operating in British-occupied New York, this spy ring gathered and shared military intelligence on the British Army's tactical operations using a coded language and a disappearing ink dubbed the 'sympathetic stain.' Those involved in the Culper Ring did so at great personal risk to their lives and honor–covertly traveling through occupied territory and swearing oaths of allegiance to the king–all the while passing information to Washington.
The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas opens with the 1776 Battle of Sullivan's Island where Patriot forces successfully defended the Charleston Harbor and concludes with the British victory at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781. While these two events bookend this military history, the meat of the work is a battle-by-battle march through the skirmishes and battles of the Southern Campaign, culminating at Guilford Courthouse. The author, John Buchanan, examines not only the battlefield strategy and tactical decisions made in the Carolina back country, but also the personalities and military careers of the major characters of Daniel Morgan, Nathanael Greene, Francis Marion, Sir Henry Clinton, Lord Cornwallis, and Banastre Tarleton.
Black Patriots and Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence, by Alan Gilbert, brings a critical eye to the contradiction that while white American colonists were fighting for liberty and independence, thousands of black men and women were enslaved in the thirteen colonies. The book shows how the promise of freedom drew the enlistment and service of both free and enslaved blacks into the Continental Army and the British Army throughout the Revolutionary War. Through extensive documentary research, Gilbert raises significantly the number of African Americans known to have fought for either side as either free or enslaved men.
The year 1776 typically conjures up images of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Gen. Washington crossing the Delaware. Yet, this week's featured book provides us with another view. West of the Revolution: An Uncommon History of 1776, by Claudio Saunt, examines events in North America outside of the rebelling thirteen American colonies including land speculation west of the Appalachians and Russian and Spanish excursions on the West Coast. In shifting our perspective, Saunt reveals the implications that these global events of 1776 had for the future development of the United States.
In the first excerpt, we learn about an ambitious, yet illegal under British law, land scheme to settle a "fourteenth colony." The second excerpt introduces how the settlement of Spanish missions in California and Russian fur trading posts in Alaska landed a Kumeyaay Indian named Diego in jail.

There's much happening around the highest point in Leamington; the highest point in the whole of Cambridge! Lauriston Park Retirement Village rockets towards completion. Next door – well, down the hill just a bit – Cambridge Tavern – sad shadow of it's former self is ending its 35 year tenure of the corner of Campbell and Burns streets in the next few weeks. The area bounded by Campbell, Shakespeare, Raleigh and Burns is referred to, I see, in one document floating about, as Leamington Shopping Centre – well I suppose you would call it that, I guess, even if not strictly true. There is other stuff going on in there; Raleigh Street Christian Centre & Cambridge Montessori Preschool (the southern centre that is). And a new smallish tavern, a supermarket and ? – a shopping centre will be nice if well done.


I wish some consultancy would pay me a few mil to tell these finance / retail corporations that it's effin' insane to try to compete with the major tech companies in this space.
Titan, from what limited info we have, always seemed like a wonky initiative for Apple.
I kept waiting for the phone screen to expand, but I guess it just has a huge black border. Not to jump on the hate wagon, but what problem does this contraption solve?

I love how Apple Pay is slowly, but surely, crushing + assimilating the holdouts.

Some market research must be saying people want these light panels as much as they want cocaine ... seems to be a ton of similar products coming to market.

Q: Ionic getting fingerprint of the user using an external biometric scanner and store the result in my application I am looking for a solution similar to Aadhar card or Jio sim where I will have a external biometric scanner connected to the phone through USB and when the device captures the fingerprint I need to store/compare the fingerprints in my application . The mobile devices which I am going to use for this application  already has an inbuild fingerprint scanner and if I am able to use that instead of an external scanner then it is well and good.I am looking for a cordova plugins which can help me to accomplish this .
Thanks

Wine Pairings are a well known art, but Beer Pairings are just as complex and delicious.
Why do beer and cheese work? Both are traditional farmhouse products, both are aged and fermented, and they both balance sweetness and acidity, with fruitiness and the flavours produced in fermentation. Harmony and contrast are the secrets to matching these flavours.
Wine enthusiasts have been savouring the sensory experience of food pairings for centuries. It's time for beer to share the spotlight. Some experts even say that beer and cheese pairings surpass the traditional combinations of wine and cheese. We can explore this together so you can make up your own mind about what you find most delicious.
PS: We also have a Beer and Chocolate Event. Oh yeah!

What we know about the Chemical Spill in Charleston WV
January 28, 2021 December 19, 2018 by Mark
On January 9th, 2014, at least 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) was accidentally leaked into the Elk River within the city of Charleston, West Virginia, a tributary that is the feedstock of drinking water for over 300,000 people in a nine-county area.
Company Files for Bankruptcy Protection
Kanawha Treatment Plant Chemical Spill in Charleston, WV
During the eleven days since the Chemical Spill in Charleston WV, the company responsible for the spill, Freedom Industries, Inc., has since filed for bankruptcy, in an attempt to protect their assets from lawsuits and to evade cleanup responsibility. In fact, the companies' website doesn't even acknowledge the incident.
Freedom Industries took several hours to notify authorities of the spill, allowing for the chemical plume to reach the drinking water treatment plant, directly downstream of the spill, distributing the toxin to the entire region of over 300,000 men, women, and children. Had the spill been known sooner, the treatment plant could've sealed off their intake pipes.
Immediately following the notification, Charleston's Kanawha Health Dept. issued a "do not use" notice to all consumers of water fed by the river, and West Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency. The "do not use" restriction has now since been lifted for almost all consumers, except for one county, which remains under the restriction, because contamination levels have spiked back up.
Still, private physicians remained wary, warning that pregnant women, young children, and those with compromised immune systems should find alternatives for drinking water.
Chemical Spill in Kanawha Affected Region, Charleston WV.
Several days ago the plume of contaminated water, has flowed from the Elk River and into the Ohio River. The city of Cincinnati has announced that it will shut down its intake valves, shutting off water to hundreds of thousands of residents there, due to the toxic threat. The plume is predicted to reach Indiana by Monday, January 20th.
The Bureau of Public Health Office of Environmental Services will continue testing until the entire system until it has been tested at, or below a 1/100th parts per million level (1/100,000,000). This is a level that the CDC considers "well below" the recommended threshold for public health, including for pregnant women. But how did the CDC come to this conclusion? There is NO human toxicity data.
CDC Opinion based on sketchy 15-Year Old Study by Industry
No independent or government toxicity studies of MCHM were ever conducted. In fact, the CDC is relying on 15-year-old studies done by the manufacturer of the chemical, Eastman Chemical. Eastman Chemical had conducted toxicity studies in minnows, rats, and rabbits, among others. One study involved 45 male rats and 50 female rats, which were force-fed pure MCHM in corn oil for four weeks. The concentrations of poison ranged roughly from 200 to 800 parts per million (ppm).
The scientists found that a small but consistent pattern of liver and kidney damage occurred in all of the rats, but appeared to be a bit worse in the females.
They then calculated, in other words, they assumed that at one-fourth the average dose 400 ppm, they would see no effect at all. It is this assumption of zero-effect at 100 ppm in rats that the CDC is using to set the zero-effect in humans at 1 ppm, although this is a far more conservative level.
In an attempt to find out just how poisonous 4-methylcyclohexane methanol was, the Eastman chemists ran another much more lethal experiment using 30 rats, half male and half female. They divided the rats into three test groups at three different doses. Ten rats received doses containing 2000 ppm of MCHM. All were dead in a day. At half that dose, 1000 ppm, 7 of the 10 rats died in less than 24 hours. At half of that dose, or 500 ppm, the survival rate went up dramatically, where it was necessary to euthanize only one female on the second day after.
Yet another study was conducted at the 500 ppm level, where no mortality of the subjects occurred, however, as already noted in the earlier study, liver and kidney damage occurred in all of the rats when poisoned as low as the 200 ppm range.
The administering of MCHM to the test subjects, at all levels of concentration showed that the animals had suffered greatly, and were harmed irreversibly.
So, what is the acceptable level of MCHM in YOUR Drinking Water? There should be absolutely NO MCHM in your drinking water!
In the age of toxicity, the only way to assure that you're drinking clean water is to install your own Home Water Filter System.

La Asamblea Nacional es el órgano unicameral que ostenta el poder legislativo en la República de Gambia.

Composición y sistema electoral
La Asamblea Nacional es unicameral y se compone de 58 miembros que sirven durante cinco años. De ellos, 53 miembros son elegidos directamente, mientras que los cinco restantes son nombrados por el Presidente. Se elige un solo miembro por circunscripción electoral por mayoría simple.

El Portavoz y el Diputado Portavoz sólo pueden ser escogidos entre los miembros de la Asamblea nombrados por el Presidente, no entre los electos.

Historia
La representación legislativa sobre la base de sufragio universal en Gambia comenzó en mayo de 1962, cuando se celebraron elecciones para 32 escaños en la Cámara de Representantes. Estas elecciones fueron ganadas por el Partido Progresista del Pueblo (People's Progressive Party) o (PPP), dirigido por Dawda Jawara. Tras la independencia en 1965, el PPP siguió dominando la Cámara de Representantes, al ganar una serie de elecciones libres y democráticas en 1966, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987 y 1992. Aunque los partidos de oposición estaban siempre presentes en la Cámara, nunca fueron capaces de arrebatar la victoria sl PPP. El gobierno de Jawara fue derrocado en julio de 1994 por un golpe militar dirigido por el Yahya Jammeh. La constitución y todas las instituciones elegidas, incluyendo la Cámara de Representantes, se disolvieron. Después del golpe, las actividades de los partidos políticos fueron prohibidas. La prohibición se levantó en agosto de 1996 tras la aprobación de una nueva Constitución, pero los tres partidos principales - el Partido Progresista Popular (PPP), y el Partido de la Convención Nacional (NCP)- siguieron estando prohibidos.

Las elecciones legislativas a la rebautizada Asamblea Nacional se llevaron a cabo el 2 de enero de 1997. El partido de Yahya Jammeh, la Alianza para la Reorientación y la Construcción Patriótica, ganó 33 de los 45 escaños; la oposición, el Partido Democrático Unificado, ganó siete; dos han recaído en el Partido de Reconciliación Nacional (PNR) y los independientes, mientras que la Organización Democrática Popular para la Independencia y el Socialismo obtuvo la plaza restante.

La Comisión Electoral Independiente levantó la prohibición sobre el PPP, GPP, y NCP en agosto de 2001, cinco meses antes de las siguientes elecciones legislativas programadas.

On the morning of a layover flight Sonia met us before the 6 am time and we had a Once-in-a-Lifetime experience. We drove out into the county side 2 hours before rush hour and hiked a section of The Wall that few tourists ever see. We hiked for 2 1/2 hours in one direction and were met by the driver. WE NEVER SAW A SINGLE OTHER PERSON ON THE HIKE. The wall here is clearly something not to miss. Sonia was a delight to be with and made it all very special, as only a Proffesional Private Guide can do.
