Provocation Defence To Be Abolished By State Government

South Australia Attorney-General Vickie Chapman
State Government Moves To Abolish Provocation Defence
Victor P Taffa
Marshall Government will introduce legislation abolishing the defence of provocation by the end of the year, after announcing today a Bill will be drafted to go out for extensive consultation.
Attorney-General Vickie Chapman said the measure would form part of a comprehensive response to the South Australian Law Reform Institute's review of the state's provocation laws.
"Fact that an outdated legal position such as this still exists is disappointing, to say the least." Attorney-General Chapman said.
"Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just abolishing the defence."
"Abolishing the defence of provocation, of which the so-called 'gay panic' defence is a part, has far broader consequences than just removing this outdated and frankly offensive aspect."
"It would likely also have an impact on those victims of domestic violence who kill an abuser in self-defence." Attorney-General Chapman said.
"This is why we have sought to take a considered approach that removes those outdated, discriminatory elements while retaining those elements that are in line with community expectations."
Attorney-General Chapman said the extensive work undertaken by the South Australian Law Reform Institute has helped to underpin the Liberal Government's work in this area.
"Law Reform Institute did a tremendous job highlighting the complexities of these laws and I again extend my thanks to them for their significant body of research." Attorney-General Chapman said.
"Cabinet has now approved the drafting of a Bill that reflects the Marshall Government's response to the Institute's recommendations, and ensure our laws in this area are brought up to date."
Attorney-General Chapman said key stakeholders such as the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Courts Administration Authority and victims' rights groups would be consulted on the draft legislation, with a view to bringing a Bill before the Parliament by the end of the year.

Toast the pine nuts in a 350 degree oven for 6 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool. Caution: pine nuts burn easily. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and fire up an outdoor grill. Peel onions and cut them in half, top to bottom. Brush onions with oil and place cut side down on the preheated grill. Barbecue until grill marks form. Place on a cookie sheet and finish cooking in the oven until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the pine nut butter. Place the 1/2 cup pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until finely ground. Add butter, lemon zest, rosemary, black pepper and salt. Process until mixture is well blended. Spread the tender onions liberally with pine nut butter. Return to the oven to cook just until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Serve onions warm, sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese and additional toasted pine nuts. Garnish plates with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs.
This recipe is from Tom Douglas of The Dahlia Lounge in Seattle.

Hiri is all about getting your mail under control and spending less time managing your mail. One of the features that seems to confuse people at first but makes sense when you get it is that we put the subject line at the bottom of the email.
When we were making Hiri, we looked at a LOT of research about email and productivity and found that people write better subject lines when they write them after they've written the content. Same goes for any writing really - writers pick the titles for their books only after they've finished writing the content. And it makes sense. How often does it happen that the email you've written is actually completely different from the idea you started it with? You add stuff, you change stuff, and the subject line should reflect that. It is a short summary of what the email is all about.
Besides, even though you read your email from subject to content, that doesn't mean that you need to write it in that order. Just the opposite.
Better subject line means less time spent trying to understand what the email is all about for the person on the other end. If the people you email also use Hiri, you'll see this benefit too since you'll start getting mails with more accurate subject lines.
Hiri doesn't let you send an email with an empty subject line. We do this for the same reason we put the subject at the bottom. We want you to write better subject lines. The recipient needs to be able to quickly decide what to do with your email, even without opening it. And a subject line with 'Untitled' or 'No subject' sure ain't gonna help them with that!
Does Hiri email client support Gmail?

The Max SLR Gel Flow Saddle is one of Selle Italia's super comfort models. Because of its gel technology it offers a high comfort. Because of that the saddle is very flexible and distributes the pressure on the entire seating area. The Max SLR is ideal for long tours and all who have seating problems. The anatomical cutout reduces efficiently the pressure to the sensitive perineum area. At the same time the blood circulation is improved. The use of a elastomer "shock absorber" between the shell and the rail provides a shock dampening system which absorbs and eliminates all road shocks and vibrations.

Gay Purr-ee (Warner Brothers, 1963). Italian 2 - Foglio (39" X 55") Rodolfo Gasparri Art.
A delightful animated musical, Gay Purr-ee features the voice of Judy Garland (Mewsette), and Robert Goulet (Jaune-Tom) in his first feature film. The feline pair call the French countryside home, but Mewsette longs to feel the sophistication and energy of gay Paris. The intrepid gal sets off for the City of Lights, only to be kidnapped by Meowrice. Will it be Jaune-Tom to the rescue? Mais oui! As much fun as the film, the Italian 2 - foglio offered here (a Heritage first!), can credit artist Rodolfo Gasparri with its design. Light edge wear, toning and light wear at the folds are the only signs of handling. Very Fine.

Wi-fi boost plan for rural areas
Wi-fi access in coffee shops is increasingly common
Rural areas could benefit from proposals to boost the power of signals used in wi-fi networks.
Regulator Ofcom wants to deliver broadband access to parts of the UK with no high-speed internet.
James Saunders, chief marketing officer of wi-fi firm The Cloud, said the plans could bring broadband to rural areas for the first time.
Limitations on the strength of wi-fi signals make it expensive to deploy such networks outside of urban areas.
Mr Saunders said: "We welcome the consultation from Ofcom.
"We think it could provide great opportunities in rural areas that are currently without broadband. It makes it much more possible to put up a wireless network."
Boosting power
Boosting the power of wi-fi signals would dramatically reduce the cost of bringing wireless networks to rural areas because fewer transmitters would be needed.
In the States you can broadcast signals 10 times the power that you can in the UK and Europe
James Saunders, The Cloud
Q&A: Wi-fi explained
Ofcom is currently consulting on three proposals:
boosting the power of wireless signals in all parts of the UK
limiting that power increase to rural areas only
a balance of the first two plans incorporating a code of collaboration to minimise signal interference.
Many towns and cities in the UK now offer wi-fi access outside of the home at hotspots in cafes, pubs and libraries.
But there are no city-wide seamless networks - called mesh networks - that let people roam freely from hotspot to hotspot with uninterrupted internet access.
One of the obstacles is the cost of deploying wireless transmitters to establish such meshed networks.
Cities in the US are beginning to roll out mesh networks, in part because demand is higher, but also because the country allows more powerful wireless signals.
Google is currently testing a mesh network in Mountain View, California, that will be free to users.
Selina Lo, chief executive of home wi-fi antenna firm Ruckus which is working with Google, said: "With lower power you have to use a lot more access points to form the network.
"A typical network will have hundreds or low thousands of access points. If you have power limits, these nodes have to be closer together and you need a lot more nodes."
Ruckus has developed a wi-fi antenna for the home to help customers connect to city networks.
Ms Lo said: "People running city networks know that the wi-fi in customers' home equipment is not powerful enough to do an outdoor long range connection.
'Bridge connection'
"Our device is designed to bridge that connection."
But there are fears that boosting the power of wi-fi signals in urban areas of the UK could lead to interference between devices.
"US hotspot operators are experiencing significant interference in this band," firms consulted by Ofcom reported.
"In the States you can broadcast signals 10 times the power that you can in the UK and Europe," said Mr Saunders.
"Metro wi-fi is more of a US phenomenon. In Europe because of power limitations metro wi-fi will follow more slowly," said Ms Lo.
The Cloud has recently deployed a city network in Manchester which covers 20 different streets of the centre.
But users cannot walk between the streets with uninterrupted network access as they could in mesh networks being deployed across the US.
Mr Saunders said The Cloud was committed to mesh networks in the future but said "a number of factors are needed to make mesh networks economical".
The company is currently working with the Corporation of London to deploy a mesh network in the City.
"We are building according to demand in the marketplace," he said.

starsThe most affordable comfy leggings I've been searching!
I've been searching for a LONG time on Amazon for the perfect leggings. I wanted high quality like the expensive Lululemon or P'tula without spending a lot of money. After returning many leggings from other sellers, I came across these. I workout out a lot and have tried many leggings and these by far are the most comfortable to work out in! They def pass the squat test, are not see through at ALL, and have convenient pockets that I didn't think I needed but love. My only request is that this company make 7/8 leggings as I think the style is cuter. In the meantime I just roll the bottom on the pants up like in the photo. Again, great product and I'll def order in another color! Truly unbeatable for the price and quality!

Newsletter 23 - April 2013
Give your beds and borders a feed, particularly around roses, spring bulbs and young shrubs/trees. Remember that acid loving plants will need an ericaceous feed.
Plant new perennials and finish off dividing summer flowering ones (eg delphiniums).
Carry on sowing hardy annuals outside and planting out ones sown in the autumn.
Think about how you're going to support taller herbaceous perennials and start to put the supports in place as the new growth comes through.
Deadhead your spring bulbs regularly. Cut back the foliage six weeks after the flowers have died down.
Climbers and wall trained shrubs will be starting to shoot, so keep on top of tying them into their supports. Climbing rose stems should be tied in horizontally to get the best display.
Prune winter flowering jasmines, hydrangeas, forsythias and flowering currants.
Start to get rid of your winter bedding to make space for next month's plantings.
Now's a good time to plant or move evergreen shrubs and trees (including planting new evergreen hedges).
Plant out, or harden off, pots of dahlias, gladioli, calla lilies, arisaemas and tuberous begonias towards the end of the month when the risk of frost has passed.
Outside it's time to sow broad beans, summer cabbages, Brussels sprouts, early peas, calabrese, cauliflowers, sprouting broccoli, mizuna, leeks, beetroot, radishes, spring onions, sugar snap peas, mangetout, lettuces, rocket, turnips, kohlrabi, spinach, parsnips, Swiss chard, chicory, endives, carrots, onions and hardy herbs including parsley, chervil, fennel, dill and marjoram.
Plant first early, second early and maincrop potatoes this month.
Make sure the new shoots are covered with earth to protect them from frost.
Onion sets, shallot sets, asparagus crowns and globe/Jerusalem artichokes can also be planted this month.
Harvest the first overwintered spring onions and the last of the sprouting broccoli and Swiss chard.
Keep weeding your veg patch so seedlings aren't overwhelmed by weeds.
Plant strawberries, figs and grapevines.
In the greenhouse you can sow tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, sweetcorn, basil, coriander, aubergines, peppers, okra, squashes and courgettes.
Mow your lawn fortnightly, or weekly if the weather is mild and it's growing quicker than normal.
Give your lawn a feed, though you may want to leave it until early May if you live in colder regions. You can also re-seed any dead patches in the lawn.
It's the start of the weeding season; removing weeds from borders now will stop them self seeding and causing a bigger problem later in the year.
If you have slug/snail defences get them in place early this month!
Purchase and pot up plug plants for summer ornamentals and vegetables.
Ventilate your greenhouse on warm days in the morning, but shut them up again by mid afternoon to build up a bit of heat for overnight.
Make sure you keep up with thinning out, pricking out, potting up and potting on your seedlings.
Towards the end of April, unless the weather is unseasonably cold, you can start to harden off tender ornamental plants and greenhouse raised vegetables.
Take advantage of warm days to stain woodwork in the garden, particularly where it will be covered with plants later in the year.
Camellia japonica 'Nuccio's Cameo' forms a compact shrub growing to about 3m height. In spring it's adorned with delicate pink flowers against a backdrop of dark green, glossy, evergreen leaves. It was developed in the seventies by Nuccio's Nursery in California, USA. Find out more...
If you grow lilies or fritilleries then you should be on the look out for lily beetles, which can completely defoliate plants. The adults are bright red and up to 8mm in length. They lay orange, sausage-shaped eggs on the underside of leaves. The emerging larvae are reddish-orange and covered in black slime. Check plants regularly. Remove and destroy any eggs, larvae or adults. Contact insecticides are also useful if used early enough. Find out more...
Ash dieback brings out the cowboys
Trading Standards' officers have warned that rogue tree surgeons are encouraging homeowners to fell ash trees in the wake of the die back disease publicity. Homeowners should be wary of anyone knocking on the door and claiming that a tree has the disease. The current advice is that mature trees which are affected should not be felled. Meanwhile Defra have published their plan for dealing with the disease, focussing on controlling the spread and identifying resistant trees.
Chelsea preview
Here are just a few of the delights waiting for visitors at next month's RHS Chelsea Flower Show:
3 RHS-funded displays by up and coming horticulturalists who have won a nationwide competition for the opportunity to show their potential.
A water feature created entirely from leather, thanks to London handbag designer Susannah Hunter, will be part of the Massachusetts Garden.
Anacamptis morio, the green-winged orchid, will be showcased in Robert Myer's design for the Brewin Dolphin garden. This native orchid is very rare and will be one of many native British plants used in the garden.
Elsewhere in London the South Bank Centre will benefit from a £120m overhaul, to be finished by 2017, which will include rooftop gardens and plantings to rejuvenate the outdoor spaces in the complex.
Green noise barriers
A plant-based acoustic barrier is being promoted to reduce noise from roads. The 'Kokowall' barrier is made from recycled-plastic tubes covered in coir and planted with climbers. It's aimed at motorways, schools and domestic markets. The green barrier is claimed to reduce an 80db motorway to 30db, the level of a quiet dishwasher.
Glasgow and Bristol vie to be greenest city
Bristol and Glasgow are two of the four cities to have reached the final of the 2015 European Green Capital competition, which judges recreational areas and parks, as well as transport, energy, waste and housing. The winning city will be announced in the summer.
Are your plants hungry?
The world of plant feeds can be confusing, with seemingly no end to the different types of fertiliser available and different ways to apply them. While plants can often obtain enough nutrients from the soil, some soils are less fertile or not suited to specific plants so additional feeding is needed. When plants are grown in containers feeding becomes even more important. There are three things to consider when feeding plants:
What nutrients you want to provide
How quickly you want the nutrients to be released
How you want to apply the feed
1. What nutrients you want to provide
Plants need a wide range of nutrients, all of which are critical to the plant's survival albeit in varying quantities. Most fertilisers focus on providing nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which are the nutrients plants need the most of (after oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, which they obtain from the air and water). A 'balanced' fertiliser will contain equal parts of these three elements, often expressed as "NPK 1-1-1". Where they have more of one of the nutrients, such as nitrogen, these proportions will be indicated, eg "NPK 3-1-1". Most general use fertilisers will also provide a mix of other nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium and sulphur. They are ideal for general purpose use. However, if you want a specific result from your feeding (such as fixing a nutrient deficiency or to encourage blooms at flowering time) then you should look for a fertiliser with a high proportion of the nutrient which will give you those results.
There are 4 main types of fertiliser:
Organic fertilisers, derived from living organisms, such as bone meal and dried blood. (Please note that these aren't necessarily suitable for "organic gardening").
Inorganic fertilisers, derived from non-living material, such as calcium nitrate or superphosphate.
Bulky organic matter, such as compost or farmyard manure, which may provide nutrients, but you can't be sure of how much (or little) it will feed your plants. Organic matter is best used to improve structure rather than as a fertiliser.
Green manure, which are plants grown to be dug back into the soil as a form of organic fertiliser.
Organic and inorganic fertilisers are the most common ones used. They will either provide a single nutrient (for example dried blood will only provide nitrogen) while compound fertilisers provide two or more nutrients. If you are looking for a general purpose springtime fertiliser then a compound fertiliser, which provides a good balance of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, is usually the best choice.
2. How quickly you want the nutrients to be released
Fertilisers can provide nutrients over different time periods. Quick acting fertilisers dissolve in water and allow the plant to take them up almost immediately (great if you have a plant with a nutrient deficiency), whereas slow release fertilisers break down over a period of time and give the plant a more gradual supply of nutrients over a longer period (ideal for seasonal pot plants).
3. How you want to apply the feed
Your final choice is how to apply the feed to the plant. Base dressing fertilisers are applied when preparing a seed bed or when planting a plant. Top dressing is applied to the surface of the soil where it will dissolve and be carried into the soil by water. Liquid feeds need to be diluted in water (or are purchased ready-diluted) and should be watered over the plant's root zone. Finally, foliar feeds are sprayed onto the leaves and are usually used for quick action to treat a nutrient deficiency.
When measuring out the amount of fertiliser and the area over which to spread it, ensure that you pay close attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Too little feed can mean that your plants don't benefit and too much can do more harm than good.
For more information on fertilising plants please take a look at out our 'How to feed plants' information.

Excessive vibration of the front wheels of a wheeled vehicle causing a jerking motion of the steering wheel.
(1) In motor vehicles, an intense vibrational process that occurs in a vehicle's steered wheels and front suspension. Steered wheels that are connected to a motor vehicle's frame or body by an elastic suspension and a steering linkage are components of a complex vibrating system. Such wheels vibrate when a vehicle travels on a bumpy road, when the vehicle's wheels are improperly aligned, or when the vehicle's suspension and steering gear are kinematically mismatched.
Shimmy impairs road safety, increases the rolling resistance at the tires, and intensifies the wear of the parts of the steering gear and suspension. It also increases tire wear.
To reduce the harmful effects of shimmy, independent front suspension is widely used in present-day passenger cars. In other motor vehicles, the kinematic design of the steering gear and suspension may be improved by moving the centers of wheel vibration closer to the drag links and the hinge points of the springs. Other measures to reduce the effects of shimmy include dynamic wheel balancing and stabilization of the direction in which the wheels move when they encounter road irregularities.
(2) In airplanes, a free vibration of the nose wheel of a tricycle landing gear that occurs during taxiing, takeoff runs, and landing runs. The free vibration is manifested as a yawing of the nose wheel. It may result in the collapse of the shock strut or in an airplane crash.
Shimmy is eliminated by means of shimmy dampers. They prevent the occurrence of free vibration but do not prevent the nose wheel from being steered.

The Position of the Federation
By Anna Von Reitz
As you have learned from the prior article, the Federation is one of the three branches of the actual American Government.
The Federation of States is meant to sit in the middle of things, between the Union of States controlling our national soil jurisdiction, and the Confederation of States (of States) running the day to day business functions of Government.
Always remember that the Federation is not a sovereign entity, but it is instead the Agent and Assign of the fifty sovereign States of the Union in international jurisdiction.
Land and sea are both international jurisdictions, so the Federation is enabled to speak to issues both on land and sea.
In a pinch, the Federation can also handle commercial affairs. It did so for a period of five years, 1776 to 1781, before the Confederation came into being.
It also functions as a Holding Company to receive and hold powers delegated from the States. This is so the Federation can faithfully defend and promote the interests of its now-fifty States as a group.
All the powers enumerated and delegated to the Federal Subcontractors via the constitutional agreements came through the Federation, the original Power-Holder.
From a Federation standpoint, the Constitutions were power-sharing agreements; some of its own delegated powers were parceled out to new service providers, but other powers remained, and for the first 73 years after the Constitutions were adopted, relations between the Federation and the Federal Subcontractors were generally cordial.
It was only when the Confederation decided to go to war against itself that relations between the Federation and the Confederation turned sour and the terrible consequences of the Civil War began.
Throughout the Civil War the Federation and its State Members stood apart and refused to get involved in the fighting. The entire war was conducted exclusively by Confederate States-of-States both North and South as a result.
You can prove this today from the Service Induction Enrollment forms that are all entered in the names of States of States, like the State of New York, and it is clear from this and other evidence that the so-called American Civil War was a (mercenary) conflict, not a war.
People ask me, why wasn't the Federation involved in the Civil War? Did they support slavery? Didn't they want slavery to end?
The answer is simple. The Federation wanted to pay the slave owners off, buy all the slaves at public expense, and set them free in the Public Interest. It was costly, but nothing near the cost of a war, and it had the advantage of sparing everyone concerned. Not a single life had to be lost.
Under the Federation Plan, the slave owners got their money, the slaves got their freedom, and the Public Purse took a hit for justice. It was estimated that the cost of such a simple solution would have been paid back in less than a hundred years in the form of new productivity and tax base. In fact, that amount was paid back in less than twenty years after the war, owing to black inventors and entrepreneurs like Booker T. Washington and others who revolutionized entire industries.
Our whole country would have been spared all the damage and trauma of the horrific Civil War struggle, if the Federation had been listened to, but the Confederation was greedy and the British Territorial Government wanted a war.
Now we know why.
Another thing about the Federation that endears itself to me, but which was not popular with the elitist and class-conscious British Territorial United States Government, is that the Federation was color blind right from the start. Several Presidents of the Federation prior to the Civil War were free men of color, who had earned their freedom and gone on to success in business, education, medicine, and engineering.
One has to think about how different our history would be without the bloody scar of the Civil War? How much more quickly this country could have healed itself from the evils of slavery and overcome racial divisiveness, if the leadership of the Federation had prevailed?
So why didn't the Federation have the strength and political power to win the argument? Again, we missed our chance of peace and prosperity and social progress for the sake of pecuniary interests. The Brits screamed "higher taxes" and the people, not seeing the far greater cost to come, voted down the pay off initiative.
They were unwilling to make a small sacrifice for the sake of human justice, and so, bought a far larger loss instead.
The Federation rode out the ensuing conflict as best it could, kept its own people home to the extent possible, focused on good works and relief efforts at home, and otherwise maintained neutrality --- only to be attacked and undermined by its own bought-and-paid-for military.
The U.S. Military, especially the U.S. Army, had the bit in its teeth, and thought that all that was needed was a Commander-in-Chief and the authority that Lincoln vested in them via the Lieber Code and the so-called Executive Orders that Lincoln invented for himself.
They didn't want a civilian government of any kind, and they especially didn't want a Federation of States that was run by peace-loving, budget-conscious civilians--- which pretty much sums up the history and tenor of the Federation.
The Federation, to its eternal credit, was never the kind of organization that would "invest" in wars for profit, or deprive people of food to bolster military budgets.
So what is the Federation like today? And what role does it play in the complex and difficult political terrain we are passing through?
The Federation has stayed true to its peace-loving and egalitarian roots. That doesn't mean it can't or won't fight. It endured eight of the bloodiest years ever seen on planet Earth.
The Battle of Fort McHenry where patriots piled their dead bodies around the flagpole to keep it upright in the face of the British bombardment should give you some measure of our ancestors ability and willingness to fight to the last man, and indeed, the last woman.
That was the peace-loving Federation. It was also the peace-loving Federation crossing the Delaware.
Don't imagine that the Federation is cowardly or lacks resolve when necessary, but it is not and never was the kind of organization that would dabble in mercenary wars for profit --- as the British Territorial United States Government has --- and always, at our expense.
Immediately after the Civil War both the British Territorial Government and the Municipal Government Federal Subcontractors reorganized as commercial corporations in the business of providing government services. Both these organizations tag-teamed against the Federation, murdered, beat, threatened, coerced, and brought false claims against Federation leaders, until the Federation was "dispersed" in the words of the treasonous General William Tecumseh Sherman.
But the American Federation never quite died. It fled west into the hinterlands of Montana, Wyoming, California, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and British Columbia. Men who had once been wealthy and highly educated took to lives as lumberjacks and fishermen and miners. And in these unlikely environs, they kept the spark of the Federation and the dream of America alive, even though it dwindled down until there were only a few sparks left.
This is where the Federation of today comes back onto the world stage, takes up its rightful place, and calls another generation of Americans to the challenge of self-governance. The Federation of States is still competent to serve in international and global jurisdictions, just as it did from 1776 to 1781. In a pinch like the current circumstance, the Federation doesn't need a Confederation or any Federal Subcontractors to do the job that must be done. It has that proven authority and ability already.
As more and more Americans wake up and realize what has happened here, and as they square up against the very real challenges of restoring our lawful government, the Federation is here operating our Ship of State in international and global jurisdiction, rebutting any presumption that our people "have disappeared" or that our sovereign States are "in interregnum".
Our Federation of States is here doing what it has always done, standing in what it considers to be the only valid role of a government --- to protect people and their assets. We can all be very grateful to those men and women who endured such loneliness and who led such an outcast and dangerous existence for so many years, to bring the true American Government forward into the present day.

Samsung Chromebooks still stuck on 23... thanks Google!
I can't believe someone typed this post and did not notice it: it says updates for all except for Samsung Chromebooks (God knows why). But then hey, what's this? A fix for Samsung Chromebooks! Uh? I thought they didn't have the update? Why should you include a fix if the broken ones aren't updated?
It also lists a fix for ARM devices, lol.
Is this a stable update, or a beta update? http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/history lists 25.0.1364.87 as a beta update.
My Chromebook updated to this Stable OS version. Is that bad?
I've also got a samsung chromebook. can i expect an update soon as well?
I just received the update on my Samsung Chromebook. Nothing seems to be broken. Thanks Google.
Running 25 on my Samsung ARM as of 10 minutes ago - so far so good. Did this resolve the native Netflix issue? (I dropped my netflix subscription so I cant check).
Netflix still does not work on the arm version - just gave it a whirl.


Nice house for rent located walking distance to Arenal town for your shopping, bank, post office, restaurants, entertainment or bus connection. 2-bed, 2-bath, kitchen, living/dining, laundry and huge veranda.

The Anatomy of a Bathroom Fetish
Andy Verderosa
Andy Verderosa explores the phenomenon of hooking up in the toilet.
YOU ARE TURNED ON by this idea that you are alone, when in truth there are six people pounding on the door and threatening to call the manager. Your privacy is limited at best, but this is part of the allure. Everyone outside probably knows what you are doing but you are afforded that little bit of privacy by the lock on the door. It's a secret that everyone knows.
It started a few years ago, visiting your friend at San Diego State. You were mackin' on a girl and she pulled you into the bathroom and straddled you atop a toilet before pushing you into the bathtub and surreptitiously walking back into the party.
The summer after graduation you decide to buy a ticket to Europe. Berlin is a good place to start. On Orianienburger Straße you learn the ins and outs of European dance floor courtship from a guy named Hartmut. He tells you that Bavaria is the real Germany and picking up chicks in Berlin is about acting like you are too cool for them. He thinks it would be easy for you as an American, especially from California.
The bar is known for its furry walls and cheap drinks, but probably mostly for its furry walls.
You don't ask him about your chances of hooking up in the bathroom, because you just met this guy. You spend a week listening to Hartmut's advice, eyeing girls in circle-scarves and nose rings from across the room and it finally seems to work at a gay bar called Roses. The bar is known for its furry walls and cheap drinks, but probably mostly for its furry walls. You try to flirt by asking one of the girls to teach you 15-letter German swear words, but Hartmut tells you that you are coming off as an "ignorant American."
When it becomes obvious the girls don't care to explain anymore compound adjective-verb-nouns, you leave and blame your ill-fortune on your out-of-style winter coat you bought at The Gap in San Francisco. You plan to go consignment store shopping in Friedrichain the next day. You remember how a friend told you he was offered a threesome at an after-hours bar so you google "hip after hours bar" but only get results in German. You decide it's about time to leave Berlin so you book a flight to Barcelona to visit a friend living there.
There's something about the bathroom that is alluring to you. Your English lit prof would say, "it's the meshing of the private and the public spheres in a moment of intense emotion." The bathroom is a location in which nudity is expected. There's no doubt that such a space in which you experience nudity outside of your private home carries a sense of sexuality.
In Barcelona your friend takes you to Razzmatazz. You are embarrassingly underdressed. You get drunk enough to recall your Spanish from high school and begin dancing with some of the local girls in your group. They think you're funny because you're dancing like an idiot and they laugh harder when you try to speak Spanish. You dance with a Spanish girl who seems to want to dance to top 40 as much as you do.
Suddenly her tongue is down your throat. This is a good sign.
Once you are out of sight from the rest of the group you start to dance like everyone else in the club with your hands around her hips. When it comes to real dancing she is a way better dancer than you are, which you attribute to her being Spanish. She constantly puts her hands up in the air in what you think is supposed to be a sexy show of attitude. Suddenly her tongue is down your throat. This is a good sign.
It takes you three minutes to translate in your head but finally you say it. "¿Quieres venir al baño conmigo?" She looks at you baffled — not in a sexy way. Did you accidentally mistranslate? By this point she has disappeared into the crowd. You find yourself alone in the middle of the dance floor, dejected. A tall Spanish guy dancing elbows you in the head as you try to make your way back over to your friend.
You consider giving up on your bathroom fetish, and wonder if you can even consider this a fetish, and whether it's even possible to give up on real fetishes, like feet or S&M.
You explain what happened to your friend back at his apartment. You over-analyze the drunken sexual psyche, but he tells you that's the most important psyche to analyze. He admits that it's a little weird to be drawn to the bathroom instead of, say, an apartment, hostel, hotel, or even the dance floor, but he concedes that those places do not afford you the same thrill. "We all have our vices," you tell him.
In Madrid you're by yourself so you go on one of those pub crawls that your friends from college would scoff at. The crawl takes you to Americanized bars but you don't know Madrid in the least bit and decide it's best to stay in the group. You introduce yourself to a girl from Istanbul. She seems interested but doesn't speak much English and only a little bit of Spanish. You speak a lot of English and un poco of Spanish.
The crawl ends at a bar that is playing the song from Grease. You find yourself oddly proud of your country for whatever reason. She knows every word to the song and you sing along because everyone knows, "TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE." You make out to the last verse that you don't know and decide to pop the question one more time. You want to stay true to yourself.
"Bathroom? Wanna go to the bathroom??"
Was that a nod? She takes your hand and pulls you into the men's room, which has no line. She sits atop the sink and you kiss her neck and she grabs your hair and you can't believe this is happening.
You're hammered and you can see yourself in the mirror. You look so fucking stupid, you think, then wonder why this girl is hooking up with you — especially in this disgusting bathroom in Madrid.

Adams County man gets 32 years in prison for shooting father to death
Adams and Broomfield Counties DA
Waylon Robitaille
BRIGHTON — A 28-year-old Adams County man who shot his father to death at an apartment north of Denver has been sentenced to 32 years in prison.
Waylon Robitaille pleaded guilty in April to second-degree murder and was sentenced Monday for the April 28, 2018, death of 52-year-old David Robitaille.
Adams County sheriff's deputies called to the home found the elder Robitaille with a gunshot wound to the head. Waylon Robitaille told investigators he and his father had argued and were struggling over the gun when it accidentally fired, but prosecutor Sara Carty said evidence showed the shooting was deliberate.
She said Waylon Robitaille was several feet away when he shot his father between the eyes.

A group of nine Broomfield residents face a total of 126 felony counts for stealing money, cars and identities from at least 77 people and 52 companies.
Drawn to Colorado by the lure of legal marijuana, Austin Jeffrey Boutain and his wife took a bus ride to Denver from Long Beach, Calif., before launching what police allege was a month-long, two-state crime spree that left a Golden man and a Utah college student dead, Golden police records said.
A judge denied bail Thursday for jailed financier Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges after prosecutors argued the jet-setting defendant is a danger to the public and might flee the country.

Washington Church Sues State Over No Religious Exemption to Law Requiring Insurance Coverage for Abortion
By Heather Clark on March 19, 2019 No Comment
KIRKLAND, Wash. — A church in Washington State has filed suit to challenge a law that requires insurance plans that cover maternity care to "also provide a covered person with substantially equivalent coverage to permit the abortion of a pregnancy."
Cedar Park Assembly of God, a fellowship with more than 600 members, says that Senate Bill 6219, signed by Gov. Jay Inslee last year, does not exempt churches or religious organizations from the requirement and therefore creates an impermissible burden on the freedom of religion.
"The requirement that Cedar Park provide coverage for abortion and abortifacient contraceptives violates its sincerely held religious beliefs," the suit, filed by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), states.
"Cedar Park's deeply held religious belief is that abortion is the ending of a human life, and is a grave sin. Therefore, in furtherance of such beliefs, Cedar Park does not provide coverage for abortion and abortifacient contraceptives in its employee health insurance plan," the complaint outlines.
The church operates a plethora of ministries and businesses to serve the community, including a Christian school that serves 1,000 children, a funeral home, an auto repair shop, a counseling program and a university-level ministry training program. It requires employees to live by biblical standards, and mandates workers to sign a document agreeing to follow these standards.
"Cedar Park employees must conduct their professional and personal lives in a manner that provides clear evidence of a Christian life and character that commends the gospel, strengthens the Church and honors God," the standards state in part. "Fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and cohabitation are prohibited."
Cedar Park also partners with a local pregnancy center, and is involved with encouraging embryo adoption and caring for children in foster care.
The church uses group health insurance, and specifically a plan that does not cover abortions or what are considered abortifacient contraceptives. However, because its plan provides coverage for maternity care, Cedar Park is concerned that it will be forced to fund abortion against its will by using tithe money to pay for its insurance plan.
SB 6219 states that as of Jan. 1, 2019, if a new or renewed health plan "provides coverage for maternity care or services, the health plan must also provide a covered person with substantially equivalent coverage to permit the abortion of a pregnancy."
"[The law] thus forces Cedar Park to choose between violating state law and violating its deeply held religious beliefs by paying for abortion coverage," the church's complaint states.
"[It] imposes a burden on Cedar Park's ability to recruit and retain employees and places Cedar Park at a competitive disadvantage by creating uncertainty as to whether it will be able to offer group health insurance in the future," it argues.
Cedar Park is therefore seeking an injunction against the law as applied to the church, as well as a declaration that it violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
"We desire to, yes, stand on our religious liberties, but also to be a beacon of life in the community for every woman—whether they're women of faith or just women who find themselves in difficult places, for whom the people of God can be a part of the answer for them," Jay Smith, pastor of Cedar Park, said in a video released by ADF.
Smith says that he and his wife found themselves pregnant out of wedlock as teenagers, and are now using that situation to reach out to others in the community.

Clarks removal of "Dolly Babe" demonstrates the power of speaking up. Your voice matters and as a collective, we can end sexploitation of women and girls.
The well-known British shoe brand, Clarks, came under fire after naming a pair of girls' shoes "Dolly Babe" and a pair of boys' shoes "Leader", enabling sexist stereotypes. Clarks are withdrawing the school shoe for girls called "Dolly Babe" after it provoked accusations of sexism, however, the equivalent version for boys called "Leader" have not been removed. Despite Clarks choice to keep "Leader", their actions demonstrate successful corporate responsibility and accountability.
Clarks is notorious for designing shoes for boys that are thick soled, sturdy and durable, while their girls equivalent are thin and impractical for running or climbing. This type of design assumes that boys are outside and active while girls and inside and inactive - an outdated and saddening assumption.
Clarks successful attempt to enact corporate responsibility is another clear example of how major brands can be held accountable when spoken out against; the very philosophy Collective Shout is fighting for.
Clarks' choice of naming and designing these shoes has created a clear division between boys and girls, forcing them into stereotypical and ridiculous roles from a young age. Gendered stereotypes create a dangerous and uneven playing field for girls and boys. They grow up under the misguided belief that they must fit into society's gendered profiles. Not fitting into these profiles leaves both boys and girls vulnerable to feeling they do not belong, are strange or have something wrong with them. These feelings can cause an abundance of mental health issues, such as depression, eating disorders and anxiety.
Clarks' choice of naming children's shoes "Dolly babe" very clearly sexualises the young female wearers. Girls are all too often forced to take on the role of a 'dolly,' - flawless, conventionally 'pretty' and submissive. To assume a girl is a 'dolly' is to assume she does not have a voice - something that is all too often assumed in our society.
The word 'babe' is highly sexually charged. In modern slang context, it is often used to categorise women who are deemed attractive and sexually available, from those who are not. By conjoining this with a play item (a doll), "Dolly" suggests the wearer is a sexual toy, something that is completely unacceptable and offensive, especially in reference to a child.
This daily sexualisation of children through marketing and advertising has had a huge negative effect on the safety of our children. The sexual abuse of children is scarily under-reported as a result of the normalisation of the sexualisation of children.
Dr Emma Rush co-wrote a report entitled "Corporate Paedophilia", which states that corporations who sell products to children in a sexualised way are producing damaging material that is harming girls and boys.
"The analogy with paedophilia is this idea of stealing of childhood. Children are losing that important period of childhood between early childhood and adolescence because they're being pushed from a very early age into adolescent interests and concerns" says Dr Rush.
Until large companies such Clarks stop producing dangerous sexist and sexualised marketing and advertising, we cannot hope to live in a world where both sexes are treated equally, and our children and women are free from oppressive sexualisation.
Clarks has been at the forefront of such complaints in the past, with people upset by the designs Clarks release. Clarks' heeding to the concerns of its customers and removing this line of shoes proves the battle against sexploitation by our supporters is important.
Huge success has been made in the UK and Berlin, where sexist adverts are now banned. It's time for Australia to follow suit and have advert standards regulated to prevent sexualisation of our girls.
We would like to invite Clarks to sign our Corporate Social Responsibility and refuse to objectify women and sexualise girls.
Please join Collective Shout in our commitment to protecting girls and young women from sexual objectification by signing up today.

Integrating dynamic and statistical modelling approaches in order to improve predictions for scenarios of environmental change
This was my PhD research, supported by the University of Potsdam Graduate School on Ecological Modelling.
Species respond to environmental change by dynamically adjusting their geographical ranges. Robust predictions of these changes are prerequisites to inform dynamic and sustainable conservation strategies. Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) relate species' occurrence records to prevailing environmental factors to describe the environmental niche. They have been widely applied in global change context as they have comparably low data requirements and allow for rapid assessments of potential future species' distributions. However, due to their static nature, transient responses to environmental change are essentially ignored in SDMs. Furthermore, neither dispersal nor demographic processes and biotic interactions are explicitly incorporated. Therefore, it has often been suggested to link statistical and mechanistic modelling approaches in order to make more realistic predictions of species' distributions for scenarios of environmental change (e.g. Gutt et al. 2012). Here, we studied two different ways of such linkage. (i) Mechanistic modelling can act as virtual playground for testing statistical models and allows extensive exploration of specific questions. This 'virtual ecologist' approach is a powerful evaluation framework for testing sampling protocols, analyses and modelling tools (Zurell et al. 2010). We employed such an approach to systematically assess the effects of transient dynamics and ecological properties and processes on the prediction accuracy of SDMs for climate change projections (Zurell et al. 2009). That way, relevant mechanisms were identified that shape the species' response to altered environmental conditions and which should hence be considered when trying to project species' distribution through time. (ii) We supplemented SDM projections of potential future habitat for black grouse in Switzerland with an individual-based population model (Zurell et al. 2012a). By explicitly considering complex interactions between habitat availability and demographic processes, this allows for a more direct assessment of expected population response to environmental change and associated extinction risks. However, predictions were highly variable across simulations emphasising the need for principal evaluation tools like sensitivity analysis to assess uncertainty and robustness in dynamic range predictions. Furthermore, we identified data coverage of the environmental niche as a likely cause for contrasted range predictions between SDM algorithms (Zurell et al. 2012b). SDMs may fail to make reliable predictions for truncated and edge niches, meaning that portions of the niche are not represented in the data or niche edges coincide with data limits.

Microsoft is upgrading its classic Surface device, the Surface Pro, today. After last year's massive Surface Pro update, Microsoft is unveiling the new Surface Pro 6 today. Unlike last year's update, this year's Surface Pro 6 is more of an iterative update.
Microsoft's new Surface Pro 6 comes with upgraded processors from Intel. The device now boasts Intel's 8th gen Core processors, which is supposed to introduce performance boosts and improved power usage. You can get up to 4 cores on the new processors, which is the first for any Surface Pro device. The entry-level variant of the device now starts with 8GB RAM, and that's a huge change for sure. The updated device is apparently 67% more powerful than previous designs while offering the same 13.5 hours of battery life.
And no, no USB Type-C. Or Thunderbolt.
The major change with this year's Surface Pro 6, however, is the new color: it's now available in a new black matte finish. After the classic Surface device, this is the first time Microsoft is bringing back the black colored Surface Pro, which looks absolutely gorgeous in the renders we have seen so far. The type cover is still covered by Alcantara, which I am personally not a fan of, but the black version of the fabric should be prone to any dark spots. The new color for the device means there's a new black Surface Pen, too, which will be sold separately for $99 as per usual. That also applies to the Surface Mouse and possibly some other Surface accessories.
Starts at $899 — yep, that's cheaper than before. Shipping October 16th.

Q: CodedOutputStream .flush() causes Connection reset by peer: socket write error I can write bytes to my coded output stream, but I cannot flush the stream. I have not closed it at any point and when I call socket.isConnected on the stream after encountering this error the socket returns true. Why could this be happening?
I have tried writing the byte array in multiple different ways and calling keepAlive() on the socket in efforts to force the streams to stay open.
            byte[] fullMessage = //contents of my array
            System.out.println("SENDING");
            os = CodedOutputStream.newInstance(ss.getOutputStream());
            for(int i = 0; i < fullMessage.length; i++){
                os.write(fullMessage[i]);
                //System.out.println("SPACE LEFT: " + os.spaceLeft());
            }
            System.out.println("SIZE OF SENT MESSSAGE: " + os.getTotalBytesWritten());
            System.out.println("FLUSHING");
            try{
                System.out.println("CONNECTED?: "+ss.isConnected());
                os.flush();
                ss.getOutputStream().flush(); //ss is my socket
            }
            catch(IOException e){
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            }

Expected result should be a flush with no messages, always yields:
Connection reset by peer: socket write error

Германска Източна Африка () е названието на германска колония в Източна Африка, която съществува от 1880 г. до края на Първата световна война и включва териториите на днешните държави Бурунди, Руанда и Танзания. Общата площ им е 994 996 km². Тя е най-голямата и най-заселената германска колония.

Причини за немската колонизация са нарасналите стремежи в немското общество през 80-те години на 19 век за колониална експанзия, и търсенето на нови пазари за немските индустриални произведения. Първоначално немският канцлер Ото фон Бисмарк се противопоставя на плановете за немска колониална експанзия. Неговите доводи се концентрират върху възможните негативни последици върху отношенията на Германия с останалите велики сили.

Начало на колониалната експанзия на Германия в този район на света поставя "Компанията за немска колонизация", основана в средата на века от Карл Петерс. Тя успява да сключи договори с местните владетели и да превърне владенията им в немски защитени територии. Тези договори скоро са признати от немския кайзер.

През 1888 г. избухват бунтове на арабско говорещото население по крайбрежието на днешна Танзания срещу немската колонизация, която възпрепятства търговията с роби. Чернокожото население обаче подкрепя немската страна, тъй като преди появата на европейците по тези земи, страда извънредно много от търговията с роби. До края на 1889 г., въстанието е потушено. Година по-късно е сключен договор между Великобритания и Германския райх, уреждащ сферите за колонизация в Африка на двете европейски страни.

Въстание Маджи-Маджи
В началото на 20 век силно се развива селскостопанското производство в колонията. Въвежда се отглеждането на каучук и памук. Местното население често е обременявано с данъчни тежести и е подложено на принудителен труд. Това става причина за избухване на въстанието Маджи-Маджи през 1905 г., което е кърваво потушено от губернатора фон Гьотцен.

Причина за въстанието е суровата германска политика в южната част на колониалната област, особено по отношение на производството на памук, налагането на непопулярни данъци върху лова и колибите на местното население.

Въстанието започва с унищожаването на памучна плантация в областта Матумби от няколко местни жители на 20 юли 1905 г. Важна роля в хода на въстанието играе мъж на име Конджиктил, който се представя за пророк и предава сакрален вид на въстанието. Конджиктил основава своя секта Маджи-Маджи (на суахили думата маджи означава вода). Местното население вярва, че водачът на сектата може да превърне посредством магия оръжието на германската колониална войска във вода. По-голямата част от въстаниците загиват не от германските куршуми, а от глад. Колониалната власт използва срещу бунтовниците стратегията на изтощението и изгорената земя. Оценките за жертвите на бунта варират от 75 хил. до 300 хил. африканци, а германската страна загубва 15 европейци и 389 африкански войници.

Отделни въстаници опитват да продължат въстанието посредством партизански действия, но през лятото на 1908 г. последните бунтовници са заловени и екзекутирани.

В Танзания на въстанието Маджи-Маджи се гледа като на най-важната част от националната история и като на пионер в националното обединение на страната.

Със сключването на Версайския мирен договор, Германия губи всички свои колонии в Африка. Германска Източна Африка се поделя между Великобритания, Белгия (взема Бурунди и Руанда), и Португалия (която получава триъгълника Кионга по границата с Мозамбик).

I noticed that all of the new patterns are being released in both digital and paper, and was wondering if you planned to do the same for all of your paper only patterns (perhaps little by little like you did with the out of print?) I know you paper patterns are gorgeous, but I prefer digital… Fingers crossed!
Many of the older patterns have been released as digital already.
Why not make a special request if one you fancy isn't?
We do have plans to do this, but we don't have a timetable yet. And once we start the process it will still take a long while until they are all converted. Believe it or not, it's a pretty time consuming process to produce a digital pattern from a paper version.
I would love the ice cream dress as a digital pattern! I prefer the digital patterns a million times, It is faster for me to print, tape and cut, and I can do it as many times as I want to.
If I needed to pick one of the paper patterns to be released as a digital one would definitly be the Ice Cream Dress.
I also wanted to thank you not only for your lovely patterns, but for this amazing community!
Hi, I really looking forward for the Lisette digital papers. I love its lines and style, especially the Souvenir Dress, but found that paper pattern is too much hassle regarding the delivery cost and the time waste. Is there any chance to make it into digital pattern..?
about a new Lisette but it didn't specifically mention the format, digital vs paper. The Liesl & Co patterns are available digitally. I'm afraid I don't recall reading anything about digital re-releases of older Lisettes.
Anybody have a link to where this may have been written about before?
I was on Simplicity.com to check out the new patterns and I noticed that you can buy printable versions of the oop Lisette ones. I've never used the printable ones, so I don't know how much of a hassle they are.

Small containers need spill containment too! It only takes a small amount of hazardous material or chemicals to make a mess and/or create a dangerous situation.
That's why we've created products like the Ultra-Containment Tray. The all-polyethylene construction provides excellent compatibility for most chemicals and the optional grating will raise containers out of any potential spills. Available in high visibility yellow or grime hiding black.
Low profile, the 16.5-gallon sump is perfect for spill containment of 5-gallon pails, batteries, safety cans, dry cleaning waste drums and leaky machine parts.
Optional 2' x 4' grating elevates containers from spilled liquid — features 14-gallon containment capacity with the grating.
Meets EPA Container Storage Regulations for small packages with the grating in place.


Hourglass Feminine and curvy, hourglass figures are characterised by having a bust equal (or very close) in measurement to the hips, often with a small, defined waist. This shape is seemingly the perfect body shape, so you can get away with most swimwear styles.
If you're top heavy, go for a halter style neckline or underwired bust for extra support. Don't be afraid of bold colours to show off your balanced curves.
Celebrities with an hourglass body shape include Scarlett Johansson, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba and Kate Winslet.
If you're Hourglass try the Speedo PristineShine or Aqua Delux swimsuits.
Pear Shaped On a pear-shaped body, weight tends to be carried on the lower half, normally around the hips and thighs. To balance this, bring focus to the upper half of your body with fun and pretty detailing, keeping your bottom half darker and higher cut to give the illusion of a longer, leaner leg. Use colour and pattern to balance your body visually – busy patterns draw attention to your top, while dark, solid colours on the bottom minimise attention. Try something with a plunging neckline or extra pattern on the top half. Slimming side-panelling detail will also help to narrow your silhouette.
Celebrities with this body shape include Kim Kardashian, Shakira, Rihanna and Eva Mendes. If you're Pear Shaped, try the Speedo Premier Flowactive Swimsuit.
Inverted Triangle Inverted triangles are broader on their top halves, and may have larger chests that require extra support. Halter-style tops can be a good choice, offering support while providing a great cleavage too. Look for styles that are banded around the midriff and can be tied in the back and around the neck, allowing for adjustments for a personal fit. Some structure in the bust, such as soft foam cups, or at least a shelf bra, will help. Straight cut bust styles, such as a classic tank, can look clean and sporty, while wide shoulder straps offer more comfort than thin, spaghetti straps. Avoid high necklines and bandeau shapes which will create a uniboob! Being top heavy you may also have wide shoulders and slim hips, so balance is still the key word here: you'll want to play up the bottom of your torso and minimise the top. Sporty accents at the hips such as ties, belts and added detailing, will balance your silhouette. Avoid plunging V-necklines and halternecks, which will only make you seem broader.
Celebrities with this body shape include Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie and Kelly Brooke.
If you're an Inverted Triangle shape, try the Speedo Aquagrace one-piece and if you're bigger on top, the Speedo Aqua Deluxe Seaspirit / Totem Swimsuit.
Athletic / Boyish Athletic or boyish, you may have no waist and/or slim hips and strong, broad shoulders. Your body shape lacks the curves of a defined waist, so create some by wearing a one-piece suit with a high-on-the-thigh cut. A belted waistline swimsuit will give you the appearance of a nipped in waist, while a curvy seam each side of the body will also help add balance. Pretty patterns and detailing will help to add a more feminine touch while balancing out a more athletic frame.
Celebrities with this body shape include Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson and Kate Middleton.
