Third and Fourth Grade students learned about art that does not represent a person, place, or thing. This abstract or nonrepresentational art uses lines, shapes, colors, and textures as subject matter. Students planned their ideas in their sketchbook and then drew their composition with pencil. I encouraged them to use a simple pallet of two colors plus their tint.


Flat blade gives a crisp, target-style sight picture that eliminates the distracting Òdouble-notchÓ found on factory sights. .160" high blade (same as factory) features an angled and serrated rear face that reduces glare. Extends over the rear of the sight body for a cleaner look and gives a slight increase in sight radius. Available in two notch widths, .110" for target and PPC use, plus .125" for IPSC, IDPA and pin shooting. Deeper notch gives easier eye alignment.
SPECS: 6061-T6 aluminum, matte black, anodized. Heat treated. .700" (17.8mm) blade width, .371" (9.4mm) height, .350" (8.9mm) long. .085" (2.2mm) deep notch. Kit includes windage screw assembly for installation. Fits Smith & Wesson K, L, and N frame revolvers. Will work on all with adjustable sights.

This is being used on a S&W 625JM for competitive shooting. Searching the web, some people complained that the new blade had "play" and would wiggle around. Not the case for me, it's in there rock solid. In full disclosure I had a revolver gunsmith install it for minimal cost, so I can't say how difficult it was to put on. It's worth it though, the sight picture is incredible for a fraction of the cost compared to other options. The notch is a perfect .125" and appears to be slightly deeper, which is good. It also comes with the replacement parts for installation which is something other brands don't do, about a $10-15 value. It's a very functional piece that I expect will help my scores, especially on the long shots. It really should come with this from the factory. If used on a self-defense revolver there is a chance it could snag on clothing, as the edges are sharp, but for a competition gun that's a good thing.
Excellent product for smith & wesson k-frame 14 model target masterpiece.
I didn't read the description completely and ordered a new windage screw. This kit comes with the screw/nut/detent/and spring to replace the hardware you have to break to put the new blade in.
Sight is easy enough to install if you follow the directions.
It includes EVERYTHING you need, and some spares in case you lose bits. Nice touch.
Once installed, it's tighter in windage vs the stock sight. But there's a slight amount of rotational (fore aft) play, which because of the rear offset, results in slight up/down play.
Most likely it won't make a noticeable effect during target shooting, but we will test it pushing it both ways and see if it changes point of impact.
Sight picture Is VASTLY superior to stock. I found the .110 aperture perfect on an S&W 625 with 5" barrel.
For defensive use, the stock sight is stronger simply because it doesn't have a large piece hanging off the back. I suspect a strong hit will bend or break this aluminum unit. But for paper punching, even hunting, you can't beat the sight picture. It's really outstanding.

Jesse Owens is generally considered to be one of the greatest American track and field athletes in history. Born in Alabama in 1913, Owens suffered as a result of the racist and segregationist political climate that all African-Americans endured at that time, but it was his athletic prowess that brought him fame. He broke three world records in less than an hour while competing for Ohio State University at a meet in Michigan in 1935, and subsequently represented the United States at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin. In open defiance of German chancellor Adolf Hitler, who intended to use the games as a showpiece to promote his philosophy of Aryan physical perfection, Owens won four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, and long jump, cementing his place in sporting history. Director Stephen Hopkins's film Race – a multi-meaning title if ever there was one – is a fairly straightforward biopic of Owens's life, starring Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Irons, William Hurt, and Carice van Houten.
The score for Race is by the English composer Rachel Portman, who has somewhat dropped off the film music A-list in recent years. Although she won an Emmy in 2015 for scoring the HBO movie Bessie, she hasn't scored a film which has made any significant in-roads at the box office since The Vow in 2012, and it's a shame because hers is a unique, appealing voice that cuts through a lot of the over-produced film music dross with class and elegance. As a reference to the location of Owens's greatest triumph, the score was recorded in Berlin with a session orchestra under the baton of conductor Joris Barsh Buhle, and it is generally very good – an appropriate orchestral celebration of the man's achievements, replete with the usual rousing depictions of sporting heroism, peppered with more personal, intimate moments representing his encounters with racism and prejudice.
The opening few moments of the "Race Opening Titles" will shock anyone who thinks Portman is a one trick pony, being a finger-snapping, toe-tapping, highly-rhythmic riff for guitars, percussion, and piano, that reflects Owens's southern roots. This is not the first time she has written like this – she explored this style of writing in Beloved way back in 1998 – but it certainly dispels the curiously prevalent myth that she only ever writes pretty waltzes and has no dramatic range. Not only that, the cue is deceiving as it cleverly introduces Jesse's recurring theme around the 30 second mark, an undulating 8-note piano melody.
The theme for Jesse recurs throughout much of the rest of the score, appearing as a rousing fanfare for noble trumpets in cues like "Three World Records," but it is also malleable enough to change tack and represent different facets of Jesse's personality through switches in the orchestration, such as the brooding variation at the end of "Hope You Don't Go," the optimistic statement in "I Came Here To Run," and throughout "Those Are The Rules".
The actual races in which Jesse competes tend to be underscored in a similar way; the pre-race rituals have a sense of tension in the string and woodwind passages, and a feeling of nervous anticipation in the percussion rhythms. The action of the competition is fast, energetic, with a propulsive forward motion that matches Owens's own speed and stamina. Finally, the thrill of victory – something that Owens tasted more than his fair share of throughout his career – generally sees Portman raising the volume and intensity of her orchestra by allowing her brasses to cheer the victor home with rousing, triumphant brass performances, usually incorporating further statements of Jesse's theme.
All these elements are encapsulated in cues like "The Men's Broad Jump Final," "The 200m Final," "Meters Are Longer Than Yards," and especially "The Final Event" and the conclusive "Please Take Your Last Jump," where the contrapuntal brass writing between trumpets and horns almost rises to the heights attained by Jerry Goldsmith during the finale of Rudy. Interestingly, Portman occasionally augments these musical sequences with more contemporary instrumental ideas – electric guitars in "Training," for example – which are anachronistic, but nevertheless add a different level of intensity to the pieces.
In addition, Portman also wrote a secondary theme, which seems to represent the Nazis who loom in the background of Jesse's trip to Germany, in the shape of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, documentary filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, and the oppressive Teutonic scale of pre-WWII Berlin itself. The three-note Nazi motif first appears in "Avery Visits Berlin," accompanying the head of the US Olympic Committee Avery Brundage with dark and ominous brass chords as he tours the city. It crops up again in a more subtle variation in "Hope You Don't Go," is accompanied by Gladiator-like fanfares and militaristic percussion in "Arrival at the Games," gets its largest and darkest crescendo during the unnerving and dramatic "The Olympic Stadium," and has perhaps its best outing in "Meeting with Goebbels," which sees a very dark and sinister version of the Nazi theme for brooding strings being counterbalanced by a dignified performance of Jesse's theme on piano.
What's impressive about Race is the fact that, for the most part, none of this really sounds like 'typical Rachel Portman music' as her detractors have come to label it. One or two cues do revisit her characteristic writing style more closely; the eager and upbeat "On the Bus to USC" contains some of the familiar prancing string rhythmic ideas and flourishing contrapuntal piano responses, while "U.S. Olympic Vote" has the warm, inviting trumpet writing from scores like The Legend of Bagger Vance, but these moments are few and far between. Instead, the score is a dramatically appropriate, musically literate, interesting drama score, which occasionally rises to very rousing and celebratory heights, and could never be accused of slavishly rehashing old, clichéd ideas.
Although the film has not been a real box office success, I nevertheless hope that Race initiates a return to more prominent theatrical scoring for Rachel Portman, whose wholly original voice and personal compositional stylistics I have missed considerably during recent years.
Music composed by Rachel Portman. Conducted by Joris Barsh Buhle. Orchestrations by Jeff Atmajian, David William Hearn and Andrew Kinney. Recorded and mixed by Tobias Lehmann. Edited by Christoph Bauschinger. Album produced by Rachel Portman and George Acogny.

Fire destroys 197-year-old Old Stagecoach Inn
Lori Steineck CantonRep.com staff writer @lsteineck.REP
Apr 4, 2019 at 10:57 PM Apr 5, 2019 at 12:49 PM
Former stop on the Underground Railroad gutted by flames.
KNOX TWP. As many as 40 firefighters from seven departments battled a blaze Thursday night that destroyed the historic Old Stagecoach Inn in northwest Columbiana County.
No one was injured, but the three-story brick building that has housed the former stagecoach stop since 1822 was destroyed.
North Georgetown Fire Chief Ed Reichenbach said the cause of the fire remained under investigation Friday morning as the State Fire Marshal's investigators remained on the scene. He said preliminarily that the fire appears to have started in the kitchen area.
Two employees and the owner had just closed the restaurant about 15 minutes earlier when firefighters were summoned to the burning building at 10:29 p.m. Thursday, Reichenbach said. A neighbor had reported smoke.
Firefighters arrived to see heavy smoke coming from the building, he said, adding that, "Once we made entry, the flames came through the roof."
North Georgetown firefighters battled the blaze with assistance from firefighters from Homeworth, Damascus, Beloit, Washington Township, Sebring and Winona fire departments.
Firefighters left the scene about 6 a.m.
Eight to 10 people were out of jobs this morning, Reichenbach said.
The building at 27425 Main St. in North Georgetown played a prominent role in the Underground Railroad, according to the chief. He said it was built in 1822 across the street from a similar building that also no longer stands. At one time, a tunnel under the road ran between the two buildings. The site had been used as a stagecoach stop between Pittsburgh and Massillon. At one point, there was a jail upstairs, he said.

Los Angeles Prescription Drug Attorney
Prescription drug addiction and abuse has increased substantially in the past ten years. Many people think that California's drug laws only apply to illicit street drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and ecstasy. However, a person can be charged with a criminal offense for possessing or selling certain prescription drugs if the drug was not lawfully prescribed to that person. In addition, individuals can be prosecuted for committing prescription fraud or engaging in doctor shopping in order to obtain prescriptions for controlled substances.
Illegal Possession of Prescription Drugs
Under California Health and Safety Code Section 11350 HSC, possessing a controlled substance without a valid prescription is illegal. This applies to illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine and LSD as well as painkillers such as Vicodin and OxyContin, anti-anxiety medication such as Xanax, and codeine. A defendant would only be criminally liable if he or she did not have a valid prescription to possess the drug in question. Recently, California voters passed Proposition 47, which reduced this offense to a misdemeanor in most cases. The maximum penalty under the law is a year in jail and extensive court fines. The Court may allow the defendant to complete a drug diversion program as authorized by Proposition 36 or Penal Code Section 1000 PC that would require the defendant to undergo drug treatment.
Possession with Intent to Sell Prescription Drugs
Defendants who possess controlled substances, including prescription medications, with the intent to sell them can be charged with a felony under California Health and Safety Code Section 11351 HSC and those who sell controlled substances can be charged under California Health and Safety Code Section 11352 HSC. This code section does not apply to pharmacists acting in accordance with their duties or others who are authorized to sell prescription medications.
Felony Possession of Illegal Prescription Drugs
Many people who are addicted to prescription drugs may have become addicted after being lawfully prescribed a medication following an accident or illness. In some cases, individuals will engage in doctor shopping or prescription fraud once their own doctor refuses to write them any more prescriptions. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 11173 HSC, it is against the law to obtain controlled substances by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, subterfuge or by concealing a material fact. This includes seeing multiple doctors in order to obtain additional prescriptions. This offense is a "wobbler" offense that can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. If charged as a felony, the maximum penalty is three years in prison.
Unlawfully Forging a Prescription in Los Angeles
In some cases, a defendant may be accused of unlawfully forging a prescription or using a counterfeit prescription pad that appears to be authentic. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 11368 HSC, forging a prescription for a narcotic is also a wobbler that is punishable by up to three years in prison. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 11162.5 HSC, possessing a counterfeit prescription pad is potentially a felony punishable by up to three years in custody.
Doctors can also be penalized for improperly prescribing controlled substances to those who are either addicts or for patients who did not receive treatment. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 11154(a) HSC, a doctor can be charged with a felony for prescribing, administering, dispensing or furnishing a controlled substance to someone who is not under his or her treatment. In addition, the practitioner will likely face disciplinary action from the Medical Board of California and may lose his or her ability to practice medicine or prescribe drugs. Doctors who knowingly write prescriptions for patients who are known drug addicts can be charged with a felony pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 11156 HSC.
If have been arrested for a criminal offense involving prescription medications, it is critical that you meet with an attorney who has the experience necessary to defend these types of offenses. Michael Kraut is a former Deputy District Attorney with over 14 years of prosecutorial experience who understands how to effectively defend clients charged with crimes involving prescription drugs.

Joe: Good Morning and Welcome to the Being Found Show. We are your guide to being found by more buying customers online. If your company isn't being found, who's is? Let's face it, your customers are using the internet, and if you aren't present and ready to be found, your competitors will be. I'm Cloud Wise Joe, and this is my co-host Chauncey Haworth, your friendly neighborhood SEO.
There is this bit of news that just came out that I want to talk about right now. Chauncey, we have talked about AMP or "accelerated mobile pages" which Google loves because the pages load so fast.
Chauncey: It allows for easy reading on your phone because it doesn't load all the things that make it look fancy on your computer that your phone doesn't need.
Joe: Google likes fast because customers like fast. Well, Google has learned from the AMP project and is going to apply that to standard web browsing code and functionality. Now, we may not even need to build AMP pages because Google plans to help standardize those features into the browsers.
So now the question is, how long is that going to take? And I bring it up because if you're listening to us and you've thought about getting an AMP version of your site; I'm not so sure that you should still invest the time, money, and energy to do that.
It sounds like they are going to make the switch but at the same time continue to invest into AMPs show they learn more and more about how it all works.
Chauncey: Well, initially they probably started off by asking how long it will take for this to kick off in the world of technology and web. It's a big bunch of data and a big leap forward in speed and what consumers want, but on a technical level, it probably won't take very long. Just as a reminder to our listeners, Facebook started in 2004. I just read a statistic that 66 percent of people get their news from social media, so just 14 years later we're looking at a massive change in technology and the way that people access information of any kind. So I give it a year until all the browsers start updating to do this.
Joe: A lot of these articles are meant to be read by an SEO or technicians as advice and guidance for their upcoming projects. But what does this mean for businesses?
Chauncey: For years, your average business had the goal of bringing people in off of the street and when marketing expanded it was reaching out to those people in their homes in an attempt to get them into the store. Now the internet has created this situation where it is only reaching out to people in their homes to gain their business. There is no longer a real need for brick and mortar stores. People everywhere are online with their phones, computers and even smart watches and soon smart glasses. The internet needs to be fast and as things get smaller, we need the processing power to do that. It just shows you where your clientele is. You don't have to know the tech, you just have to understand where your customers are and where they are looking for you.
Joe: I am glad you brought that up because the point of AMP pages is to be fast for mobile. The amount of mobile users on the internet is constantly rising and is now more than half of overall traffic. Even just a few years ago, close to no one was using their mobile phones to search for products and services, they were using computers. Mobile devices are changing the way people shop and search, and businesses need to adapt to that.

The link between race-hate violence by individuals and the US policy of endless war
Glenn Greenwald – Salon
Whatever else is true, it's impossible to evade the fact that a country that wages endless war will be a country filled with citizens convinced of the virtues and nobility of aggression.
THE ALLEGED shooter of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin, Wade Michael Page, served in the US Army from 1992 to 1998, first at a base in Texas and then at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. An article in The Guardian today examines Page's time in the military and includes this passage:
Page did well enough after joining in 1992 to be assigned to a psychological operations unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The unit is regarded in the US military as exclusive.
But at the time Fort Bragg was also a recruiting centre for white hate groups including the National Alliance, once regarded as one of the most effective such groups and also among the most extreme because it openly glorified Adolf Hitler.
The Military Law Review at the time reported that National Alliance flags were openly hung in barracks and, out of uniform, soldiers sported neo-Nazi symbols and played records about killing blacks and Jews.
"White supremacists have a natural attraction to the army," the Military Law Review said. "They often see themselves as warriors, superbly fit and well-trained in survivalist techniques and weapons and poised for the ultimate conflict with various races."
Is that perception on the part of white supremacists irrational: that joining the US military is an optimal way to engage in, or train for, "conflict with various races"? It's very hard to make the case that it is. There is ample evidence both of white supremacists' encouraging adherents to join the US military as well as those groups targeting service members for recruitment.
It goes without saying that the vast, vast majority of members of the US military are not members of white supremacist groups (indeed, only 62% of enlisted service members are non-Hispanic whites, though minorities are seriously underrepresented in the officer class).
If anything, the attempt to Christianize the US military is a greater problem than avowed members of racist groups joining the military (though those problems are arguably related). But whatever else is true, even the US military's own publication has recognized that "white supremacists have a natural attraction to the army."
For all the endless chatter — and endless rights erosions — over the threat of Terrorism from Muslims, the reality is that there have been more Terror attacks on US soil in the past decade committed by white, "right-wing extremists" than by Muslims. Philosophy Professor Falguni Sheth today provocatively argues that this spate of racially-motivated violence is directly connected to the decade-plus-long War on Terror that the US has perpetrated.
Sheth begins by pointing to a mosque in Joplin, Missouri that yesterday was burned to the ground – the third fire on its property and "the second fire to hit the Islamic center in little more than a month" — and argues that our perceptions of violence are overwhelmingly dependent on the identity of the perpetrator ("those white guys are loners; those young white/Asian men are troubled and deranged loners. Those brown men are terrorists. Those black men are hoodlums and gangmembers"); Conor Friedersdorf makes a similar claim quite persuasively.
But the bulk of Sheth's argument is devoted to the claim that the underlying precepts of America's foreign policy engender — if not tacitly justify — this sort of violence. I'm not adopting her argument in full, but it's difficult to deny the causal connection she highlights:
Other truths must also be confronted. In large part, the shooters and arsonists who are behind many, if not most of these events in America, are white men. In large part, these men have either come of age in the shadow of September 11. They have watched the media, heard Department of Homeland Security officials, and followed as mostly white male (and some female) politicians have given the anxious go ahead to wage an enormous war against Muslims abroad (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan) or at home (in the form of the War on Terror). Several of them have served in a military that follows the orders of two US Presidential administrations by training their men to shoot, invade, drop rockets from helicopters, and drones controlled remotely from Syracuse, NY and other air force bases in the United States.
These white men have learned their lessons well, whether in the military or from hours of media news: the frustrations of a scared (white) America can be dealt with waging a war using guns, bombs, chemicals, and drones. They have learned that it is ok to kill those who you believe to be behind threats to your comfort. They have internalized the message that those you fear can be addressed without words, without dialogue, but with violence, with power, with coercion. They have learned that some religions are automatically evil and that those who adhere to those religions must be destroyed. And these white men reflect an ideology of violence that has permeated America in the name of the War on Terror. Sadly, that ideology, perpetuated by our white men and women in power, carried out by American soldiers, and endorsed by a lapdog media, isn't fading away. It's becoming bigger, stronger, and more murderous.
These men are not mad or crazy. They are the well-trained students of American foreign and domestic policies. They have learned well the United States' message: that violence and mayhem are the answer. We need to change the scripts, and confront the fallout of a decade of the War on Terror—and other excuses for state-led violence quickly, before the chickens come home to roost.
The reason I'm hesitant fully to endorse this argument is that there are usually a diverse array of complex motives (psychological, emotional, ideological, religious) that drive individuals to engage in violence of this sort, and an equally diverse list of complex causes (legislative, political, cultural) as to why our society fosters and enables it. For that reason, I'm generally averse to seizing on a horrific episode, particularly in the immediate aftermath, and using it to try to isolate a single cause or confirm long-held beliefs.
That said, there's no denying the strangeness of our collective reactions — intense outrage, laced with professed bafflement — to incidents like the Sikh shooting, or the mosque burning.
It just is true that the US is a country that has spent the last decade using massive amounts of violence in multiple Muslim countries: continuously bombing, invading, attacking, droning, and killing. In that part of the world, the US government regularly kills innocent men, women and children (almost always non-whites), and has bombed mosques, attacked funerals and mourners, and targeted media outlets for violence and killed their journalists.
There are some significant, obvious differences between state-sanctioned violence in the name of war and the rogue, indiscriminate killing by individuals, and it's best not to ignore those differences in order to try to equate these acts. But Sheth's primary point — that it's difficult and perhaps even inconsistent to so righteously condemn things like the Sikh shooting or mosque burning while cheering for endless violence by the US government against other nations filled with innocent people of races and religions different than one's own– is not one that is easily dismissed. If the Military Law Review is willing to examine the attraction the US military holds for white supremacists, the rest of us should be willing to do so as well.
And whatever else is true, it's impossible to evade the fact that Endless War will inevitably degrade the citizenry of the country that engages in it.
A country which venerates its military above all other institutions, which demands that its soldiers be spoken of only with religious-like worship, and which continuously indoctrinates its population to believe that endless violence against numerous countries is necessary and just — all by instilling intense fear of the minorities who are the target of that endless violence — will be a country filled with citizens convinced of the virtues and nobility of aggression.


Lawyer Alayne Fleischmann was nicknamed 'the $9-billion witness' for exposing large-scale fraud by her former employer JPMorgan Chase.
On the 10th anniversary of the global financial crisis, a Vancouver lawyer is being honoured with an award for her "civil courage" in blowing the whistle on one of the biggest banks behind America's 2008 crisis.
Nicknamed "the $9-billion witness" for exposing large-scale fraud by her former New York employer, JPMorgan Chase, Alayne Fleischmann will receive the prize from the Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Society on Sunday.
"We recognize individuals who, at great personal risk, have helped others by standing up," explained director Alan Le Fevre by phone. "Our (award) is about acts of civil courage — standing up where there's great injustice to either save lives or do right where there's clear wrong going on.
"Alayne fits really well; she's really deserving."
Originally from Terrace, B.C., the University of B.C. honours graduate — who later attended the prestigious Cornell Law School — secretly provided the U.S. justice department with damning information about her ex-employer defrauding its investors through subprime mortgages.
The practice was the subject of Hollywood's The Big Short and the documentary Inside Job.
After 2008, she returned to Canada for work in Vancouver, Calgary and Victoria, and lives in Vancouver.
She will be awarded in absentia Sunday with a speech by ex-Premier Ujjal Dosanjh — a previous award-winner for condemning extremism in his Sikh community despite death threats and being severely beaten in1985.
Fleischmann was unavailable for an interview because she is still a potential witness in ongoing litigation. But previously she explained her motivations to expose wrong-doing.
"The facts just weren't coming out," she told the Toronto Star in 2014. "I just started feeling sick … I just couldn't sit back and watch this go forward without considering myself a part of it."
The award is named for two heroes — Raoul Wallenberg and Chiune Sugihara — who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust.
It was founded by Vancouver's former Swedish consul and Le Fevre's organization, the Second Generation Group, of fellow children of Holocaust survivors, he said.
The Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Award ceremony and film screening on Fleischmann will be Sunday 1 p.m. at the MacMillan Space Centre (1100 Chestnut St.), by donation.

Travel companies prepare for surge in bookings as 'day-2' Covid test set to be scrapped
Sue Gray, the formidable official investigating a very British scandal
Home/Business/France to investigate alleged spying attempt by Morocco
France to investigate alleged spying attempt by Morocco
DUK Editor Team Send an email July 20, 2021
France is investigating allegations that Morocco may have targeted mobile phones belonging to President Emmanuel Macron and 15 ministers using a spyware tool made by the Israeli company NSO Group.
French media outlets Le Monde and France Info reported on Tuesday that a number that Macron has used since about 2017 was "on a list selected by the security services of Morocco, which was a customer of [NSO's] Pegasus software, for potential pirating".
The revelations were part of an investigation conducted by journalism non-profit Forbidden Stories and 17 media partners that found spying worldwide using the spyware made by NSO had been far more extensive than previously thought.
The investigation was based on a list of more than 50,000 phone numbers linked to people who had allegedly been selected for possible surveillance by NSO's clients since 2016. Among the targets were activists, lawyers, and journalists in countries including India, Mexico and France.
Laurent Richard, director of Forbidden Stories, said on the LCI news channel that their investigation could not determine whether Macron was actually spied on or if his phone was compromised by the software. But the fact that his number was discovered on the list meant that "Morocco had an interest in doing so".
The Moroccan government said in a statement that it "has never acquired computer software to infiltrate communication devices" and that "it categorically rejects and condemns these unfounded and false allegations".
NSO Group could not immediately be reached in Israel regarding the alleged spying against Macron. But it had earlier said it would "continue to investigate all credible claims of misuse" while denying what it called "false allegations" in the Forbidden Stories report.
The Elysée vowed to investigate. "If these allegations are confirmed, then they are obviously very serious," said a spokesperson.
Earlier on Tuesday, prosecutors at a criminal court in Paris announced that they would begin investigations into a report published on Monday that several French journalists had allegedly been subject to hacking by Morocco using NSO's tools.
The investigative website Mediapart, satirical paper Le Canard Enchaîné and advocacy group Reporters Without Borders had submitted complaints to prosecutors asking them to look into the matter.
The investigation will examine 10 different charges including whether there was a criminal conspiracy, whether anyone's privacy was invaded or whether fraudulent access was gained to individuals' electronic devices.
When Jean Castex, France's prime minister, was asked about alleged spying on journalists before parliament on Tuesday, he declined to respond specifically. "We have ordered an investigation and it has not yet been completed, so I cannot comment at this stage to the parliament or the nation," he said.

The Lamar Terrace Site (40SY695) is located 2 mi. southeast of Beale Street, and thus, was on the far eastern periphery of Memphis�s antebellum activity. It lies within John Ramsey�s 5,000-a. tract that was surveyed in 1783, but none of this land could be legally sold until after the Chickasaw Treaty of 1818.
In the early 1820s, John Overton purchased land in the western part of the Ramsey tract, and persuaded General Winchester to purchase a 252 a. tract on the eastern edge of the Ramsey tract, which includes the study area. In February 1833, Winchester�s heir, Lucelius Winchester, and Will Cage sold 100 a. of the 252 a. tract, including the future Lamar Terrace area, to Nathaniel Ragland. During December 1848, Ragland had this property surveyed with the intent to divide it into smaller saleable lots. In November 1850, Ragland entered the survey plat into the county record. At this time, Ragland indicated that he had already bargained to sell nearly one quarter of his tract to Barnett Graham. Graham�s land included lots 22, 23, and 24 in the northeast quadrant of Ragland�s Subdivision, and it became one of the main pieces of land forming the future Lamar Terrace, as well as the future Veterans Administration Hospital.
The 1859 Barnet Graham Subdivsion map with the location of the excavation trenches overlain. Original plat is on file at the Shelby County Archives.
Because Graham�s tract occupied an area between two of the most significant land transportation routes into Memphis�the Memphis & Charleston Railroad to the south, and Pigeon Roost Road to the north�it was ripe for development just prior to the Civil War. Graham submitted his subdivision plat in April 1859, and the register�s office filed it in August 1860. Graham chose to name the street dividing his property after his one surviving daughter, Florence. Today this street is known as Camilla, and it forms the western boundary of the Lamar Terrace Site 40SY695. Graham established his �homestead� on the largest lot in his subdivision (lot 56), which lies across South Camilla to the west of our excavations.

Q: Which profession has the longest ranged attack? According to this site, warriors and mesmers have the longest ranged attacks, but this doesn't take into account traits which can increase range.
If traits are considered, which profession has the longest maximum range on an attack?

A: The Ranger does.
A few longbow attacks are already 1200 range, and the Eagle Eye trait expands that by 25%, to 1500 even.

A: The Engineer can extend grenade range to 1500 also.  And since they are all AOE, are most useful in WVW.

This is a true story of bread, woven into my mother's childhood in the late 1940's and 1950's. My mother, Donna Lou Blumhardt, was born on a farm in Kulm, North Dakota, on January 16, 1945, the youngest of three children to second generation German immigrant parents from Russia. Her parents, John Blumhardt and Emma Kungel Blumhardt, spoke German at home and English everywhere else, and raised wheat, flax, barley, and some corn on a 1500-2000 acres; mostly wheat and barley. The corn was kept on the farm for animal feed.
Emma's preparations began the night before: the treasured stone jar of everlasting yeast, an effervescent mixture of potato water and flour, was pulled from the pantry shelf, and most of its contents were poured into a crockery bowl. Additional potato water and flour were stirred into the everlasting yeast to create a "sponge," or seed dough, which would in turn leaven the entire batch of bread dough the next day. What remained in the stone jar was replenished for the next week's baking, and set aside to ferment on the counter.
In those days, whole wheat flour, or "brown flour," was undesirable; for poor people. People of means used white flour. She had no standard measuring cups or spoons as we do today. Emma used a silver-plated tea spoon and table spoon from the table service and measured her flour with a small, white coffee cup.
Dakota Maid (that's m-a-i-d, not m-a-d-e) flour was purchased in 50-pound sacks. Dakota Maid was the brand every good farm wife used, and my Great Aunt Lualla still uses it to this day, declaring that Dakota Maid flour, with its higher protein content, makes the best bread and strudel. The 50-pound sack was housed in an upstairs closet at the end of the hall. Flour was dipped out into the tin kitchen canister, enough for a week, the closet armed with mousetraps. Empty flour sacks were put to use as towels, bloomers, and aprons. Early in my mom's childhood, she remembers Grandma switching to Red Star yeast, as did most other farm wives. Commercial yeast was faster-acting and popularly considered to be more reliable than her jar of everlasting yeast.
The loaf pans were emptied onto a large well-dusted board or rack set on the table for cooling. The first loaf was usually eaten warm from the oven, sliced about 3/4-inch thick and served a half-slice at a time, accompanied by butter made in a glass jar churn, and plenty of good homemade jam. According to Mom, "There were chokecherry, plum, purple grape, and rhubarb jams and jellies in the cellar. Bread was so much a part of life - it was taken for granted that bread would be served at every meal: breakfast, dinner, and supper. My Dad always had a little pitcher of fresh cream by his plate. He would pour cream over his slice of bread, one bite at a time, and eat it that way." Once in a while there would be toast, made on an old-fashioned stove-top toaster. You had to watch the bread vigilantly, or it would char! And, later, there was an electric chrome toaster.
Donna (my mother), Sharon, and Willerd Blumhardt, circa 1947. Mom points out that her brother is the only one who posed correctly. Her sister, Sharon, has the wrong leg folded and mom herself cheerfully refused altogether.
School opened at 8:00 a.m. and the Blumhardt kids, Willerd, Sharon, and Donna, went to school no matter what the weather, because "Teacher" lived at their house! "My Dad hitched a sled outfitted with a small oil stove and a stack of woven wool blankets to the backs of our two brown horses, Baldy and Pearly, and off to school we trudged through the snow," Mom recalls with relish. Daytime winter temperatures sometimes fell to 40 below zero Fahrenheit, and still they went to school, dressed warmly in flannel-lined snow pants, jacket, cap, boots, and mittens. In Mom's college days at North Dakota State University, she was required to wear a skirt or dress as a Home Economics major, believe it or not, in this weather! "The girls wold put pants on beneath their skirt and then slip into the bathroom to remove the pants before class. They would then slip back into their pants to change classes or return to the dorm. It was just something we had to do," Mom explains.
Times surely have changed since Mom's childhood! Most bread comes from large commercial factories and girls are allowed to wear pants to school. Sure, baking ten loaves a week was hard work, but it was good work, satisfying work in more ways than one. It lent structure to the week and nutrition to growing bodies. It is still good to bake bread, but we know now that flour made from whole wheat and other whole grains is actually much better!
