Southern Comfort at Billy Reid Fall 2014
Billy Reid marked the final stop on our itinerary of men's shows at New York Fashion Week this season—and we couldn't have asked for a more immaculate style spectacle to cap things off.
From the Alabama native's ruggedly luxurious clothes to the jaw-dropping historical venue, woozy live-music soundtrack, and bourbon drinks served on silver platters upon the show's conclusion, the evening coalesced into a full immersion in the Billy Reid world. We were on-site and front-row with photographer Faith Silva. Keep reading to see a full gallery of sublime images and video of the show.
It was a brisk night to say the least, with snow still piled up outside The High Line Hotel in West Chelsea, NYC—luckily Billy Reid had a solution inside, with racks full of sumptuous fur-lined and blanket-inspired outerwear.
Models leisurely chit-chatted and checked their phones in the grooming area, while stylists and photographers buzzed about.
Check out the parquet floor. This part of the High Line's centuries-old setting used to be a basketball court.
A short walk up giant stone stairs that recalled the building's monastic past (at one point it contained dormitories for Episcopal ministers-in-training) led to The Refectory, an ornate event hall where the evening's main proceedings would occur.
The engraving above his head reads, "Manners makyth man." Point well-taken.

The incredible carved ceiling made it a bit difficult to maintain focus at a terrestrial level—until the lights dropped and the show started, that is:

Here's an exclusive video clip by Faith, offering a closer look at the collection's decadent textures and tactile earth tones (as well as the live soundtrack by Phosphorescent, emanating from the shadows at the back of the hall).
The man himself: Mr. Reid. Ever the utmost gentleman, Billy graciously offered us a moment of his time, even amidst last-minute runway preparations:
MEN'S SHOP DAILY: What inspired tonight's Fall 2014 collection?
BILLY REID: "It started when we were developing textiles for blankets, and that led us to taking those textiles and using them for coats. That process led to doing other kinds of textures, and taking artwork that we had and trying to develop it into new jacquard patterns.
"Once we sort of learned the machinery and how the looms were working, we just kept going down that road, and the idea was that we would take those fabrications and essentially share them between our men's and women's collections, which we were working on concurrently. We realized that there was sharing not only with the fabrication, but also with shape. Because the fabrics, the blankets…The coats became almost like cardigans. When women put them on, they had a certain look, and when a guy put them on, they felt like a more-rugged and totally different look. That led to experimenting with more color, texture, pile, fur, leathers, which sort of all went together. So there was this sharing aspect that drove things in some ways."
What are some of your favorite individual pieces?
"I loved working with this shaggy faux fur that we have. It looks like it's crazy heavy, but it's incredibly lightweight—it's like a sleeping-bag pile. We put it in stadium-coat ideas, almost like sideline jackets, parkas. It's actually so lightweight that it has sort of a cardigan look to it. We actually use [the faux fur] as hand-warmers in the pockets. So you're wearing this thing that looks super heavy, but it's so lightweight and warm. The sample came in, and I've been wearing it all the time here in New York."
What can you tell us about this venue?
"Incredible. This has been a seminary. It was Bishop Desmond Tutu's offices at one point. It may have been an Episcopal school for a while, I think? There's like a gymnasium, and a clock on the wall that looks like it's an elementary school. It's just a beautiful, warm, peaceful place. We're very excited."
What style advice do you have for men at home right now?
"I see a lot of guys—a lot of my friends—being a bit more confident and bolder with their selections. Maybe buying some pieces that are a little off their grid. I think it's a good time to step out a little bit. Try some new things. Familiar, but push yourself a bit, you know? Maybe break out of your routine."
As a Southerner, how has it been braving New York City snow?
"It's actually been great—I've had no problem staying warm with that [faux-fur] coat on! It's been wear-tested for several weeks. I sort of keep dual-citizenship anyway. I spend so much time up here, and kind of split time between the two [NYC and Billy Reid HQ in Florence, Alabama]. Get a great coat, and it can get you through pretty much any situation."
You seem pretty calm! Everything going smoothly, with the show set to start in about an hour?
"Man, I'm about to throw my guts up right now! Dude, I'm so nervous. I'm always nervous before the show. I can't help it. It's one of those things. I mean, you put so much into it—five months of craziness for eight or nine minutes, and it's over. It's so weird! But that's how it works."
We hope you enjoyed this preview of Billy Reid Fall 2014.
For now, check out his current collection.

Dr. Apaak demands steps being taken to ensure doctors accept postings to deprived areas, health minster responds
According to Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman Manu, there have been concerns in the last two years that the interventions and policies outlined to help retain health workers in deprived and underserved areas have not resulted in the desired outcome.
He also expressed concern that these obstacles could jeopardize healthcare delivery in those areas and the overall achievement of universal health coverage.
The Minister stated that a policy shift to improve the processes for developing and implementing actions to address current and future health challenges in deprived and underserved areas has been advocated at several levels.
One of the levels of advocacy is the enactment of the national human resource for health policy and strategies, which was launched in January 2021 to provide the policy directive in managing human resource issues in the health sector, the Minister responded.
The response was in response to Builsa Douth Member of Parliament Dr. Clement Apaak's urgent question.
The MP inquired about the steps being taken to ensure that Medical Doctors assigned to underserved areas of the country accept their assignments.
He stated that one of the policy's key components is the development of initiatives to ensure the retention of the health workforce serving in underserved communities and facilities.
According to him, the Ministry of Health, with financial and technical assistance from the World Health Organization and the health systems strengthening accelerator, sought to investigate the factors that influence doctors and other health workers from accepting postings in deprived areas.
To ensure that the Ministry identifies the right factors, the services of consultants, human resource committees, and a technical working group were engaged, and a survey was conducted to collect views from health workers on measures to attract and retain them.
From the survey, the willingness of health workers to accept postings to the deprived areas is based on financial and non-financial incentives.
He said the issue of scholarships, residential accommodation, defined by existing policy, standard medical equipment and transfer after three to five years of service upon request.
He added that the respondents also spoke about 34 per cent of basic salary as an incentive allowance for medical officers in deprived areas, 38 per cent incentive as basic allowance for moderately deprived areas and 40 per cent of basic salary incentive allowance for severely deprived areas.
As a result of the survey, a technical review is underway to work on the proposed survey findings.
He stated that the Ministry is collaborating with stakeholders to determine the best way to proceed with the incentive package requested.
He said that following the outcome, a submission would be made to Cabinet for consideration.
He indicated the Ministry would also seek parliamentary approval for the incentive package if approved by Cabinet.
Meanwhile, the Minister says it has started advertising vacancies in various hospitals to recruit and fill these vacancies with the financial clearance issued to the Ministry of Health.
He said 110 of these doctors have accepted to take postings in deprived communities.
In a follow-up question, MP Dr. Apaak said the Minister failed to provide firm timelines for when these policy directives would be implemented.
He said that none of the ten doctors assigned to the Upper East Region took up their positions in 2021, and only five have taken up their positions in 2022.
In its response, the Ministry assured the House that, having received the consultant's report, they were now evaluating it and that, at the appropriate time, he would present a memo to Cabinet for consideration.

Q: Is there any way to select-highlight a text in pdf file in react native I am new at react native, currently i am using this component to show pdf : https://github.com/cnjon/react-native-pdf-view . This component taking a path and open a pdf, and pdf downloading with "react-native-fs". It seems this component converting pdf to like a image,so i cannot select a text with this component i guess, i am not sure what it is doing.
Briefly i want to select-highlight a text from opened pdf and do some work with this text. Is there any way or other component to do this.

A: I did not find the solution which suites my requirement.
I have written my own login. Below is the code.
    const keywordsMarked = ["test"];
    let node = document.getElementsByClassName("your-class");
            if (node && node[0] && node[0].children[0]) {
                let a = node[0].children[0];
                if (a.children[2])
                    a.children[2].style.display = "none";
                if (a.children[1])
                    for (var i = 0; i < a.children[1].children.length; i++) {
                        console.log(a.children[1].children[i].textContent);
                        if (keywordsMarked.some(val => {
                            return a.children[1].children[i].textContent.indexOf(val) >= 0
                        })) {
                            a.children[1].children[i].style.backgroundColor = 'yellow';
                            a.children[1].children[i].style.color = 'black';
                            a.children[1].children[i].style.height = "12px";
                        }
                    }

'School' back in session
KIRSTEN CROW
LAREDO MORNING TIMES
Published 7:00 pm CDT, Thursday, April 15, 2010
There's really no stopping a Disney vehicle — or Disney machine, as the case may be — from steamrolling into the public consciousness and popularity.
And there may be no better case in point than the company's "High School Musical." What started as a fairly small production — a mere television movie — exploded into a global phenomenon, with millions of fans of all ages.
It's easy to see the appeal: Drawing from a cast of likeable characters backed by splashy, energetic numbers, the plot follows one that any teenager can relate to: competition, cliques and high pressure to meet the "status quo."
And in what is likely its most mainstream production yet, the Laredo Community College Opera Workshop brings that appeal to the stage of the Martinez Fine Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $10.
LCC's Opera Workshop has long prided itself on versatility: the talented troupe has performed everything from comedic operettas and zarzuelas to "old standard" Broadway shows such as "Guys and Dolls" and "Fiddler on the Roof."
But, said director Joseph Crabtree, this time, the workshop was interested in performing a piece that was "a little more in the public eye."
The students, also, played a large role in the decision, he said, as many of them insisted it would be a great production for Laredo.
"It's well known; there's a built-in fanbase for it," Crabtree said.
"We hope that (the performance) will bring in new people, a different audience, and we can educate people about some of the other things we do. …
We've done some high-brow things, so it was time to do something a little more mainstream."
This production, based on the original Disney Channel Movie by Peter Barsocchini, music by Bryan Louiselle and the book by David Simpatico, fit the ticket.
The plot is simple, and easily relatable for anyone who has ever attended high school.
Two crazy kids have a crazy thing for each other.
The only problem?
They migrate in different social circles.
And high school just isn't the place for forgiving.
Gabriella Montez, a "brain" who is particularly adept at science, meets Troy Bolton, basketball star, at a New Year's Eve party.
The two are separated before they can share their first kiss, seemingly dashing their chances at young romance.
Shortly thereafter, however, Gabriella unknowingly transfers to Troy's school, where the duo is again drawn together.
Although they run in different cliques, they share a love of music: A fact mocked by their peers, who encourage them to "stick to the status quo."
In addition to their classmates being relatively unaccepting of the couple's union and of their anticipated participation in the school's annual musicale — a feminist rendition of "Romeo and Juliet"
in the form of "Juliet and Romeo" — Sharpay, a conceited queen of the drama club, and her lapdog brother, Ryan, continue to run interference. Sharpay, you see, has always been the star of the musicale.
In between, there's plenty of singing, dancing, costume changes and comic turns.
One of the greater challenges to staging the musical is in distinguishing the theater version from the film version, noted Crabtree.
Among the differences between the two are shifts in the character roles — some of the characters' roles are downsized or cut entirely, while others get more face time — as well as the use of space.
"We had to judiciously use the area we had, and use lighting effects, stage level and platforms to create different spaces," he said. "It worked really well."
Although the character list and the size of the roles is slightly different than the film version, the core characters are a mainstay: Allie Howland, a junior at United High School's Engineering and Technology Magnet,
plays Gabriella Montez; Gustavo Gomez, a student at LCC and Texas A&M International University, plays Troy Bolton.
Rounding out the cast are Stephanie Solis-Schnyder as Sharpay, Edson Gonzalez as her brother, Ryan, Aries Guevara as the melodramatic Mrs. Darbus and Ricardo Holguin as the hardnosed Wildcats basketball coach.
Because of the play's popular appeal, auditions were much larger than is typical, Crabtree said.
Many of the roles, too, are filled by younger thespians who have previously participated in UIL One Act.
There are nearly three dozen actors who help to bring the story to life, including the recreation of the crowded, bustling hallways of East High School, and the social pressure cooker that is the cafeteria.
"It's really going to be a great show," Crabtree said.
"Disney is always entertaining, always family-friendly.
There's no controversy or risqué (parts). It's an excellent feature to bring the family to."
Proceeds from the performance benefit student scholarships, as well as future LCC Opera Workshop productions. Next up? "Sweeney Todd," slated for fall.

· Ag PhD · Channel 147 · Programming · Uncategorized
Brothers Brian and Darren Hefty are a busy pair. From helping with day-to-day operations at Hefty Seed Company to running their own farm operations, hosting Ag PhD on television and radio and being active husbands and fathers.
Q: What do you like most about hosting on RURAL RADIO?
Brian: It's the same thing I like about being an agronomist; working with lots of different farmers and trying to help them make the best decisions for their operations. It's tough to be a farmer and if I can help in even a small way I feel like I have done what I am called to do.
Darren: I am always looking to learn more about crop production so I can get higher yields on my farm and help others do the same. Talking to other farmers and industry experts on Ag PhD Radio each day is a blast. I'm learning something all the time.
Q: How did you get your start in Radio/TV?
Brian: Darren, my Dad Ron, and I started the Ag PhD TV show in 1998. We felt that farmers had a need for more agronomic information, and we knew we could help.
Darren: We made the decision to start Ag PhD TV back in 1997 and I spent that summer with a cameraman filming everything I could think of so we could produce half-hour shows in the spring of 1998. I learned so much that summer and had a lot of fun, too.
Q: What was your favorite episode or guest of the first radio season?
Brian: We have had many farmers on the show who have raised enviable yields in corn, soybeans, and wheat. We farm too, and my goal is to get 400-bushel corn and 100-bushel soybeans someday, so it is a lot of fun talking to farmers who are currently doing it.
Darren: I have really enjoyed talking to the 400-bushel corn farmers about how they are achieving that level of production. There are only a handful of these guys so far. I would love to join that select group someday.
Q: What can listeners look forward to in the next year on your show?
Brian: More info on raising better yields profitably while at the same time improving the land and the environment. We don't spend much time on farm news, grain markets, or the weather, because farmers can't control those things. How to better control weeds, properly fertilize, or other agronomic topics may not be the most exciting things for some, but for those of us trying to thrive on today's farm, they are exactly the issues we need to discuss and learn more about in order to turn a profit and feed our growing world.
Darren: I'm excited about our summer radio shows because we're talking about what's actually happening in fields and taking live calls from farmers who are going out today to stop a pest or feed a crop. Also, we'll be at Farm Progress, Commodity Classic, and some other key events around the country during the next year.
They had to answer some fun ones too…
Q: Favorite food?
Brian: A smorgasbord of well-prepared meat…prime rib, chicken, pork loin, turkey, etc.
Darren: Brian and I are both pretty serious about fitness. I'm getting pretty famous in the Ag PhD studio for bringing in a protein bar to have right before or after the show. Our production staff ribs me pretty hard about that sometimes. Oh, speaking of ribs, I love to grill just about any kind of meat. More protein. Big surprise!
Q: Favorite vacation spot?
Brian: My wife and I went to Bora Bora a few years ago. It was one of those bucket list things, and it was amazing.
Darren: Lots of good ones to choose from, but my favorite vacation spot so far has been going to Yellowstone National Park with my kids.
Q: What's your guilty pleasure?
Brian: Fantasy baseball. I love coaching baseball, too, but when it comes to my guilty pleasure I enjoy competing against some buddies from college for a traveling trophy that I have won four out of the last 12 years.
Darren: I have a sweet tooth and the trappings of summer like ice cream, sweet tea or lemonade, always get me. I can't say no to that.
Q: What's your favorite thing about summer?
Brian: Heat. This year we had about 8 months of winter, so I was so thankful when I could finally go outside with no coat on. Obviously it's also great to see the crops growing and for all the things we have prepared for all fall, winter, and spring to finally come to life.
Darren: Getting outside. I love being out in fields while the crops are growing. Spending time outdoors with my family is great, too. We especially like going on bike rides and the kids are getting into geocaching which has been fun as well.
Q: I can't help but turn up the radio when ______comes on…
Brian: Rural Radio aside, I am a big Minnesota Vikings fan, so if I ever hear something about them or one of their games, I'll listen!
Darren: My favorite sports programs are on. This time of year I like to listen to baseball games mainly to hear the stories the best broadcasters tell.
Learn more from Brian and Darren on Ag PhD Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. ET! Brian and Darren discuss topics ranging from how to maximize your fertilizer program, stopping yield-robbing insects, crop diseases and much more. Plus, you'll enjoy the weekly segments such as Farm Basics, Iron Talk and Weed of the Week. Follow RURALRADIO 147 on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date with the AgPhD!

2015 National FFA National Convention and Expo
· Uncategorized
The annual national convention and expo, which will take place in Louisville, Ky., in 2015, hosts more than 64,000 attendees from across the country. The event is estimated to have an economic impact of $36.2 million for Indianapolis during 2016.
The national convention and expo will utilize downtown venues, including Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indiana Convention Center, the Indiana State Fairgrounds and eight event hotels.
"The National FFA Convention & Expo, much like the National FFA headquarters, is right at home here in Indiana," said Gov. Mike Pence. "Indiana is ready and committed to support this event and welcome with open arms the 64,000 FFA members who will come to our capital city each of the next nine years. Today's news confirms that Indiana's reputation is strong and growing stronger, and I appreciate FFA's commitment to build on our already-robust agricultural heritage in the coming years."
"Indianapolis is excited to welcome back the National FFA Convention & Expo," said Mayor Greg Ballard. "Not only does this commitment create an estimated $36 million in annual economic activity for our residents, but FFA is a model conference dedicated to volunteerism and community service that Indianapolis is privileged to host." The National FFA Convention took place in Kansas City, Mo., from 1928-1998. Louisville then hosted the event from 1999 to 2005, with Indianapolis being the host city from 2006-2012. In 2009, the organization announced the national convention and expo would rotate every three years between Indianapolis and Louisville, with Louisville hosting the event 2013-2015 and Indianapolis hosting the event 2016-2018.
As the membership of the organization has grown so has the attendance of the national convention and expo. Following the 87th National FFA Convention & Expo, the board of the National FFA Organization reviewed the two cities and made the decision to move the national convention and expo to Indianapolis for 2016-2024.
"Our members are tomorrow's future leaders in agriculture," Dr. Dwight Armstrong, the chief executive officer of the National FFA Organization, said. "We are excited to introduce these future leaders to the city that FFA calls home."
"Visit Indy, the City of Indianapolis, and the State of Indiana have an outstanding partnership with the National FFA Organization," said Leonard Hoops, president and CEO of Visit Indy. "We look forward to delivering a great experience for FFA student members, advisors and families for many years to come." The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 610,240 student members who belong to one of 7,665 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Mother Wants Special Prosecutor To Probe Death Tied To Daley Nephew
Filed Under:2004, David Koschman, death, Division Street, Nanci Koschman, Nephew, Punch, Richard J. Vanecko, Richard M. Daley, Rush Street, Self-Defense
David Koschman, 21, died in May 2004, 11 days after he was punched and hit his head on a curb during a confrontation on Rush Street. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, news reports indicate Richard J. Vanecko, a nephew of Mayor Richard M. Daley, threw the punch. (Photo Credit: CBS)
UPDATED 12/15/11 12:19 p.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A woman who blames a nephew of retired Mayor Richard M. Daley for her son's death wants a special prosecutor to investigate.
At a news conference Thursday at the Northwestern University Law School, 375 E. Chicago Ave., Nanci Koschman asked for justice at a news conference.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Mike Krauser reports
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15116062/2011/12/mp3_bc__carts_vanecko-v1.mp3
Daley's nephew, Richard J. Vanecko, reportedly hit Nanci Koschman's son, David Koschman, in the face outside a bar in the Rush and Division Street nightclub district in April 2004. Koschman fell and hit his head, and died just days later.
Nanci Koschman's new petition claims that early on the morning of April 25, 2004, words were exchanged between Vanecko and David Koschman on Division Street, and then Vanecko punched Koschman.
The case was reopened and closed by Chicago Police earlier this year, without criminal charges. Police said they determined Vanecko acted in self-defense. Detectives reportedly determined Koschman was the aggressor, based on witness accounts.
But those witnesses now say they never told police Koschman was the aggressor.
The office of Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez also declined to press charges, saying there was not enough evidence to sustain criminal charges against Vanecko. But in March, Alvarez did ask Illinois State Police to examine the Chicago Police investigation.
The petition notes irregularities in the investigation, including false official reports and a case file that went missing, and says the investigation might have been influenced by Vanecko's relationship to Mayor Daley. It says the irregularities require an independent investigation.

Barr's Mueller Report Briefing to Trump Admin Sparks 'Significant Concern' Among WH Officials
TrigTent Staff April 15, 2019 12:30PM
Attorney General Bill Barr has briefed the White House on special counsel Bob Mueller's report and sparked "significant concern" about what former White House counsel Don McGahn told prosecutors, ABC News' Jon Karl reports.
Karl revealed on Sunday's edition of "This Week" that Barr briefed the White House on the Mueller report as he prepares to release a redacted version to Congress later this month.
"They have been briefed but I'm told in broad brush strokes," Karl said. "They've been briefed enough to know that the White House will not invoke executive privilege to try to get further redactions."
"But there is significant concern on the president's team about what will be in this report," he added. "There is significant concerns about what will be in here — new information — on the obstruction of justice question, what the president was doing regarding some of the big questions."
"What worries them most is what Don McGahn told the special counsel," he explained. "It was reported that he spent 30 hours before the special counsel. I'm told significantly more than 30 hours."
The White House has been briefed on the Mueller report and "there is significant concern on the president's team about what will be in this report," and "what worries them most is what Don McGahn told the special counsel," @jonkarl reports on @ThisWeekABC https://t.co/2gNCrsGh2B pic.twitter.com/do39TZFBZz
— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) April 14, 2019
Trump plans to go on attack after report released:
"No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION," Trump tweeted last month when Barr submitted a brief letter to Congress upon the completion of Mueller's investigation.
"The bottom line: The result is no collusion, no obstruction, and that's the way it is," he repeated to reporters Thursday.
Despite claiming total exoneration, Trump's team plans a full-on attack once the report is released, The New York Times reported.
"Our goal is to respond as quick as we can; given the length of the report, it may take some time to respond, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow told The Times. "But we have a plan in place to respond in a professional manner as quickly and appropriately as possible."
The Times added that Trump has threatened to send detained migrants to sanctuary cities as revenge against his political enemies to "distract from the report," according to sources close to the president.
Trump's strategy may backfire:
Critics on the Democratic side say Trump's "full exoneration" strategy ahead of a report that specifically notes it "does not exonerate" Trump on obstruction of justice could backfire.
"Whatever Trump may have thought when he claimed total exoneration two weeks ago, subsequent events strongly suggest that claim will fall flat on its face," former Obama acting solicitor general Neal Katyal told The Times. "And because Trump claimed total exoneration from the report, he created massive public pressure for the full report to be released."
"He will probably have succeeded in setting the narrative for his core supporters and hardening their attitudes, but at the expense of anyone else believing him when the report comes out and inevitably undermines what he's been claiming," added Matthew Miller, a former Obama Justice Department spokesman. "The same things that solidify his base just prevent him from expanding beyond it at all."

Trump Nominates New Head Of The Small Business Administration
President Donald Trump nominated a replacement Thursday night for Linda McMahon after she stepped down as head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) on Friday.
"I am pleased to announce that Jovita Carranza will be nominated as the new Administrator. She will be replacing Linda McMahon, who has done an outstanding job. Jovita was a great Treasurer of the United States — and I look forward to her joining my Cabinet!"
I am pleased to announce that Jovita Carranza will be nominated as the new @SBAgov Administrator. She will be replacing Linda McMahon, who has done an outstanding job. Jovita was a great Treasurer of the United States – and I look forward to her joining my Cabinet!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 5, 2019
Working in the SBA will feel familiar to Carranza. She was its deputy administrator from 2006 to 2009 and will leave her post as U.S. treasurer, where she has oversight over the U.S. mint and is a liaison to the Federal Reserve. As head of the SBA, Carranza's mission will be to support small businesses and entrepreneurs.
McMahon was one of Trump's original Cabinet members.
"Linda McMahon has done an incredible job as the head of the Small Business Administration. She has been a superstar," Trump said during a press conference alongside McMahon. "She'll be leaving. She's going to go and help us with a very, very important year and a half that we have coming up."
Days later, it was reported that McMahon was resigning to help raise money for Trump's re-election campaign by chairing the super PAC America First Action.
By selecting Carranza, Trump kept his number of female Cabinet members at five.

A Lifetime of Jewish Music on Display at Lincoln Center
by Maxine Dovere
Lincoln Center. Photo: wiki commons.
Matthew "Mati" Lazar has been dedicated to the creation of Jewish music for most of his life. On Sunday, May 20th, the Maestro and his Chorale celebrated their reunification of at a grand "Celebrate Jerusalem" concert in the Frederick P. Rose Hall at JAZZ at Lincoln Center. The songs of the Zamir Chorale – and some of its extraordinary friends, Yehoram Gaon and Alberto Mizrach – resonated in the mid-Manhattan auditorium, telling the history of Israel and its capital city in music.
Lazar carries his singers, young and "older," to unique musical heights. As Director of the Zamir Choral Foundation, a position he has held for forty years, he gives teenagers and adults opportunities to sing Jewish music across America, in Israel and in international venues. The Yom Yerushalayim – Jerusalem Day – concert celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem after the Six Day War was no exception. A robust chorale, directed by an enthusiastic Lazar, entertained a packed house with two hours of extraordinary musical presentations, evoking a range of emotional responses.
2012 is the 45th anniversary of amalgamation of Israel's capital. The Zamir Choral is just a bit older, as it turned fifty just two years ago.
Lazar has been at its helm more that 80% of those years, successfully raising awareness of Jewish identity and culture through music.

Q: update a tensor(not a Variable) I want to update values in a Tensor, which is not a Variable.
If noise_matrix is a Variable, I can do as followed:
tf.assign(noise_matrix,tf.scatter_nd_update(noise_matrix,colmns,newvalue))

However, I want to use a GradientDescentOptimizer,which optimizes all variables in the Graph. But noise_matrix is not to be optimized because it is only a Tensor to store some values.
How should I update this Tensor but not optimizing it by GradientDescentOptimizer? Help.

A: If I understand you right, you can set the argument "trainable" to False.
tf.get_Variable(name, shape, trainable=False)
Or you create a tf.placeholder for the noise and fetch a new noise by every training step or epoch.

supreme court decision on vehicle seizing
If only probable cause was what we were working with here but it is not. The key difference is that the recent Supreme Court case included evidence that the asset in question was legally obtained, while Humboldt County only seeks forfeiture of assets obtained through illegal activity. "The Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause incorporates and renders applicable to the States Bill of Rights protections 'fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty,' or 'deeply rooted in this nation's history and tradition.' The prohibition embodied in the Excessive Fines Clause carries forward protections found in sources from the Magna Carta to the English Bill of Rights to state constitutions from the colonial era to the present day. Every plate is being scanned, regardless of actual suspicion. So you don't HAVE to buy auto insurance like you HAVE to buy health insurance, just if you want to drive on public roads. 90%? The constitutional protections list in the BoR are problematic for government by design. Yeah, No. Accordingly, the passengers - and not just the driver -- may challenge the constitutionality of the stop. In my state, it's been estimated that about 15% of drivers on the road do not have valid licenses. You're right by the way, stay the fucking hypothetical away from there; it is after all America's experiment as to what life would be like had we not won the Revolution, or lost the Cold War, https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/new_jersey/20150403_Christie_pardons_Phila__mom_snagged_by_N_J__gun_law.html. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the Constitution places limits on the ability of states and localities to take and keep cash, cars, houses and other private property used to commit crimes. Vehicles can move, leaving officers little time to obtain a search warrant. At least get a look at the driver and see if he's at least the right age and sex and resembles the license photo, which I'm pretty sure cops can also pull up on their computers. I'm certain you also have 5 black belts but prefer your own brand of martial arts that you made by combining the best of each. Yet another possible explanation for the Court's unanimity in Brendlin is that perhaps the Court chose not to resolve all the thorny issues the case might have presented. The hills that matter have already been lost. We got pulled over several times a week. the copper ASSUMES the driver is guilty until he (the driver)can prove otherwise. The bulletproof glass helps, obviously. They routinely, and constantly violate the Second Amendment. Kansas is saying that probable cause exists here, because the registered owner is presumed to be operating the vehicle. Bullshit. I think assets legally obtained should remain apart from the criminal justice process unless they are needed to cover reasonable fines linked to criminal activity.". I really would, because the cost of living is tremendous. DUI checkpoints are so obviously unconstitutional only a lawyer could argue otherwise. | Do not ask me where. Are we just going to rewrite the amendments to include a cop's paranoia? What the KS police did was probably legal, but it bothers me a LEO can just pull you over for absolutely no illegality whatsoever. Revolution history course. What would be useful information but is lacking in this story, is WHY was the guy's licence pulled in the first place? Instead they are likely to ask someone else to drive it. California Supreme Court Overturns Car Seizure Ordinance The California Supreme Court says cities may no longer seize automobiles from people merely accused of a crime. Is it constitutional for a cop to just run your plate because he is behind you? A car on the road, doing the speed limit, staying in the lines of the road, using turn signals, with no broken DOT signals, current tags, is not exhibiting "probable cause". Cop asks to search vehicle. They are doing this because many local governments are going broke trying to pay promised pensions. The cops assumed a crime was taking place and the 4th Amendment does not have an "assumption" exception. Maybe the cop is a meth head. Once they do you have to declare that you do or do not have a weapon in your possession. In Carroll and Kiro's case, officers could not have arrested the men without first searching the vehicle, making the arrest and search invalid. Especially as automatic license plate scanners become more ubiquitous. After he approached the stopped vehicle, he for the first time recognized the passenger, Mr. Brendlin, as someone who had an outstanding no-bail arrest warrant out on him for parole violation. The odds of prevailing here don't strike me as all that good. Obviously we need mandated license readers installed in all cars to avoid this. Why waste an opportunity to use the on bored computer and a miss a possible nab? Again, constitutional violations abound when a cop doesn't know something. The automobile exception only applied to federal agents conducting searches until the 1960s when the Supreme Court ruled that it applied to state officers. They assume that most people will not take the time to fight the ticket and just pay the fine. 543, the Court held that a warrantless search of an automobile stopped by police officers who had probable cause to believe the vehicle contained contraband was not unreasonable within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment.The Court in Carroll did not explicitly address the scope of the search that is permissible. Damon Root is a senior editor at Reason and the author of A Glorious Liberty: Frederick Douglass and the Fight for an Antislavery Constitution (Potomac Books). Justice Taft wrote that Congress could create a distinction between cars and houses. If I am not breaking a law, and there is no emergency, then I want to be left alone. The 4th Amendment made no distinction between being "detained" and being "arrested". no. She has also worked at the Superior Court of San Francisco's ACCESS Center. IMHO ALL of the Bill of Rights should apply to the states – especially the 2A – as required by the second section of the 6th Article: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. In fiscal year 2018, state and local agencies received $400 million through this arrangement, known as equitable sharing. I press my pocket CATO Declaration of Independence and US Constitution up to my darkly tinted window and wave. In contrast, the California Supreme Court had missed the significance of this intuitive conclusion - which led to its conclusion that Brendlin had not been "seized," and that no Fourth Amendment violation had occurred. You are comically naïve. Police seem to think that traffic stops are no big deal to people. The middle of the country is as full of petty tyrants and drug warriors as anywhere. You haven't done anything wrong, no violations, he just wants to see if he gets a "hit" on your tag. SCOTUS is working on narrowing the focus to microscopic levels as we speak, trust me. Little gray men encounter reams of red tape. As the High Court wrote at the very end of its ruling, "[i]t will be for the state courts to consider in the first instance whether suppression turns on any other issue. Yeah, it's hardly unusual to have a car in one person's name that is driven almost exclusively by another person. If he would have refused to show ID, then this case would have never happened. Mid-Westerners LOVE their Constitution and The Bill of Rights. He was. Copyright © 2020, Thomson Reuters. Yeah, the previous Governor pardoned a lady who carried a gun into NJ. Would this not be viewed be an opportunity to arrest me for having a [out of state and therefore illegal] handgun on my person, and provide sufficient probably cause to pull me over and demand to search my vehicle? "Since in this case the cop has no idea who specifically is driving the car, ". Yes; I was just hypothetically pulled over and refused to answer the question about having a gun; my hypothetical car was seized and impounded, and a local judge gleefully issued a hypothetical warrant to search; my little [non hypothetical] Ruger LCP was found, and now I'm hypothetically being charged will illegal possession of a handgun and looking at some serious hypothetical time in the not so hypothetical Republik of New Fucking Jersey.

Q: Nullable DateTime setting it getting invalid argument with cannot convert to long Why do I need to set DateTime as Nullable like this?
DateTime? Err_Rpt_Tm = new DateTime?(DateTime.Now);

Console.WriteLine(Err_Rpt_Tm);

Because I find it odd that in Linqpad when I do this
DateTime Err_Rpt_Tm = new DateTime(DateTime.Now);

I get this error
The best overloaded method match for 'System.DateTime.DateTime(long)' has some invalid arguments
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.DateTime' to 'long'

*

*DateTime.Now is never going to be null, so I don't understand the need for nullable  DateTime?

*convert System.DateTime to long???  I'm explicitly setting DateTime variable "Err_Rpt_Tm"

A: DateTime? is a short-hand for Nullable<DateTime>. Let's look at documentation on MSDN. In constructors section the only available constructor is Nullable<T>(T). This explains why first part of your code compiles.
In second case you are trying to initialize DateTime, and MSDN clearly states that there is no constructor, that accepts single parameter of type DateTime. This is why you get a compile error in second case.
To fix the issue you can use much simpler form of initialization:
DateTime? Err_Rpt_Tm = DateTime.Now;
DateTime Err_Rpt_Tm2 = DateTime.Now;

This is possible because Nullable<T> implements operators for converting nullable type to / from actual type.

A: No DateTime constructor accepts DateTime object although it has constructor for long i.e. DateTime(long ticks) and error is suggesting that constructor to be used.
You can directly assign DateTime.Now to DateTime object and do not need a constructor for this.
DateTime Err_Rpt_Tm = DateTime.Now;

To assign to Nullable DateTime
DateTime? Err_Rpt_Tm = DateTime.Now;

Author Interview: Goth-Style Book on Bullying
Steff Green was bullied as a child due to her blindness, giving her a deep understanding of how it feels.
On my latest author interview podcast for the Alliance of Independent Authors, I talk to New Zealand author Steff Green. She's a paranormal romance author, teaches self-publishing courses, and is also a children's author who just Kickstarted a Gothic Picture Book. It's a book about bullying called Only Freaks Turn Things Into Bones.
Steff talks about how she was bullied as a child due to her blindness, which gave her a deep understanding of how a bullying victim feels. And, like the main character in the book about bullying, she was a Goth kid. Steff also discusses how she successfully launched a Kickstarter drive to fund the book.
The New Zealander is a successful indie author with many interests and talents. Plus, she talk about her previous life as an Indiana Jones-style archaeologist (sort of).
A few highlights from our interview
On Why She Wrote a Book About Bullying
"When I was little, I was bullied because I was different. And so that's why this book has a real personal connection to me; and the illustrator I worked with also went through similar things. So, it was kind of our way of trying to help future kids like us."
On a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
"I was really surprised every single person that I approached said, "Absolutely. We would love to do that." It was just amazing. We engaged our backers and we were always doing updates and showing them new art work and really encouraging them to share the project with their friends."

Then Again: George Houghton's photos of Civil War and the Vermonters who fought it

Editor's note: Mark Bushnell is a Vermont journalist and historian. He is the author of "Hidden History of Vermont" and "It Happened in Vermont."
George Houghton had planned to be a carpenter, but by a stroke of luck — our luck, that is — he switched professions. For reasons that are unclear today, he became a photographer and started documenting Vermonters' participation in the Civil War.
Without Houghton's contribution, our view of Vermont soldiers during the war would have been formed virtually entirely by the paper record – the diaries, letters, official correspondence and the like – that they left behind. Thanks to Houghton, however, we can catch actual glimpses of the war and the Vermont soldiers who helped fight it.

Then Again: Thanks to — or maybe despite — Calvin Coolidge, the country has a National Christmas Tree
Then Again: 60 years ago, Plainfield was scene of a military aviation disaster
Then Again: AT&T founder was also a gentleman farmer in Lyndon
In 1857, Houghton, a native of Putney, moved to Kilbourn City, Wisconsin. Moving west offered opportunities for ambitious men like Houghton, who was 33 at the time. Upon arriving, he ordered a planing machine with the idea of launching a lumber finishing business for the growing community. But while awaiting delivery of the planer, he traveled with a photographer to a nearby community.
Something about that short trek seems to have fired Houghton's imagination. He wasn't new to photography. Before leaving Vermont, Houghton had been trained in the art of making daguerreotypes, an early form of photography using silver-coated plates. So as he watched the photographer work, Houghton would have understood what the man was doing as he went about the chemical process of preparing the plates to be exposed to light.
Houghton started a photography business in his Wisconsin town, but just two months later packed his things and returned to Vermont. The reason for this abrupt decision is unknown. One theory is that he had second thoughts about being so far from his aging parents.
Upon returning to Vermont, Houghton settled in Brattleboro and opened a studio. He may have been content to remain a small-town photograph, but three years later the Civil War erupted and Houghton was eager to join the fighting. The U.S. military was less eager about his serving, however. It rejected him because of his poor health.
(Whatever his health issues, being a photographer couldn't have helped. At the time, photographers came into contact with harsh chemicals to prepare their plates. After taking a picture, photographers had to expose it to mercury vapor. Houghton's chosen profession may have been a contributing factor in his death at the age of 42.)
The Army's refusal couldn't keep him from venturing south during the war. As he wrote his brother-in-law, "I have for a long time had a great desire to see our field of Battle here in Virginnia (sic). I thought I would think of some thing to do to pay me for coming. Well I am here & am going to make a trial."
VTDigger is underwritten by:
Houghton traveled to Langley, Virginia, and camped beside the tents of the Vermont Brigade. Working with an assistant, he began to offer his services to individual soldiers and groups of soldiers, who wanted images of themselves to send home to loved ones. "(T)he artists are doing a fine business," one soldier wrote in his diary, "housing their apparatus in a large tent, and living and sleeping in the same, quite in primitive style."

For the next year and half, Houghton made regular forays into the South to capture the likenesses of Vermont soldiers. His photographs included many portraits of one or two soldiers, or sometimes a half dozen, but he also took shots featuring groups of 50 or even 100 men.
Some of his photographs show scenes from the war: a view of the giant tent city that was a Civil War encampment; sets of large chimneys that marked where intact buildings had stood before fighting ravaged them; a busy harbor packed with ships. Houghton sought to capture images that soldiers would want to send home to share some of the scenes they were witnessing.
Many of Houghton's panoramic views appear eerily devoid of people, until you realize that photographic plates at the time were relatively insensitive to light and thus required exposures lasting several minutes. Anything that moved even a little became a blur. Anything that moved a lot became invisible. Many soldiers and workers were probably present in those grand panoramas; they just didn't have time to stand around and pose.
One of Houghton's most poignant images shows two men standing beside a cluster of crudely marked graves. One of the men seems to be leaning on a shovel.
This is about as close as Houghton gets to what we associate with wartime photojournalism. He seems to have taken no images of actual fighting. The heavy photographic equipment and slow shutter speeds of the day would have made that next to impossible. The haunting images of battlefield dead by Mathew Brady and his team of photographers were taken only after the shooting had stopped. Perhaps Houghton didn't feel it appropriate to render such images, or he thought his clientele wouldn't want to buy them anyway.
The Civil War ended for George Houghton in May 1863, when he returned from his last foray into the South (though he did photograph a large group of veterans that gathered in Brattleboro when their enlistments expired).
Houghton realized the historical significance of his photographs even before the war was over. He donated a collection of his works to the Vermont Historical Society in 1864. The gift might have received better newspaper coverage if not for events happening elsewhere. News of Houghton's donation was crowded out by reports that Vermont troops had been engaged in a major victory at the Battle of Cedar Creek in Virginia and, closer to home, that a band of Confederates had made a daring and wholly unexpected raid on banks in St. Albans.
Only now, a century and a half later, is George Houghton getting his due.
Note: The Vermont Historical Society has published a book of George Houghton's Civil War photographs in "'A Very Fine Appearance': The Vermont Civil War Photographs of George Houghton." The book includes a biographical sketch of Houghton by historian Don Wickman. It can be ordered here.

A Blog From Biafra, Nigeria
01/24/2011 Blog, Health and Wellness, Spirituality biafra, biafra nigeria, Diabetes, garden of eden diet, imo state university, live food diet, nigeria, raw food diet
This week, I attended a conference on health and nutrition in Nigeria. I landed in Lagos and, from there, flew to Owerri, the capital city of a region once known as Biafra. At one time, Biafra tried to break from British/Muslim control, and they were brutally suppressed. Their attempted sovereignty was thwarted, and they were unable to gain their independence. Their population suffered significant hardship and mass starvation. While today there is peace, the memories of these hard times cast long shadows and contribute to the attitudes and actions of these people today, including an ongoing Christian/Muslim tension, in which 1,000 Christians have been killed by Muslims in 2010.
I spoke to 900 people at Imo State University and Medical School, where the Ibos are the predominate population. The talk was attended by a variety of people from many of the 36 states of Nigeria. Some travelled five hours to attend my talk. Eleven different tribal chieftains came and sat in honored places on the stage with me. It was important that they attended because each of these eleven leaders will reach approximately 10,000 people. They were open to my message, which was about sovereignty, diabetes, and a shift in diet, moving from imported junk food, white sugar, white flour, and soda pop to a green diet without sugar. Many leaders also stressed their focus on the importance of returning to growing their own food and going organic.
This renewed awareness complimented the other part of our program, in which PPEP nonprofit leader and social justice activist John Arnold presented his microloan business program to help people start their own farms in an effort to draw people away from cities and back into the rural areas, where they may become independent and diabetes free by eating natural, local foods.
A plant called the irguni (or bush mango, a.k.a. Irvingia Gabonensis) is commonly used to combat diabetes in Camaroon, a nearby state, close in proximity to Nigeria. Traditionally used by certain tribes, irguni has the power to reverse leptin resistance, (a primal cause of diabetes, which eventually evolves with insulin resistance to create Type 2 Diabetes).
The program took five hours, and many chiefs spoke. It was a powerful success. By controlling food through local and sustainable agriculture, and by keeping themselves healthy through nutritional education, they have a unique capacity for sovereignty. Since the Igbo have been under Muslim control, they have developed a very strong self-reliance and have created a good standard of living for themselves with minimal government assistance. The issues the Biafrans face now is pressure from Muslims to the North (the majority in the central government), who take their resources and give nothing in return. The language of sovereignty was incredibly relevant to their situation.
Our message of a return to the Garden of Eden diet and the Culture of Life was eagerly accepted by the Biafrans, and many of them are living with positive attitudes of cooperation, service, and charity. I've noticed in the cultural area of Owerri that there is a strong understanding of the values of the Tree of Life. The importance of sovereignty and the Culture of Life are already dear to this culture. While there isn't a distinct interest in enlightenment, they value living holy lives.
Worldwide, people are shifting back to healthy diets and away from junkfood and dependence upon the international corporations that import these foods. May all the world move into peace and understanding and heal their communities naturally.

Exciting new things happening on Spring Street in Charleston. We captured a few in progress shots of a branding project we are working on for a new venue opening soon. The building is in process of renovation and in the meantime wanted to get the word out. The client wanted to keep the history of the building intact and also tease what was to come. We turned to the very talented Sarah Jeffers Beauchene of Reclaimed Artistry to paint the new identity onto the facade of the building, white washing over the layers before applying the new logo.
