Technology has increased our ability to interoperate, globally connect, and work at speeds only dreamt of in the past. HR departments are beginning to take full advantage of the way technology, particularly the internet, is making it easier to find the best candidates, evaluate prospective hires, engage with employee needs, and effectively communicate between employees and departments.
As technology changes and improves, it's being implemented in many different ways to benefit HR departments. People analytics, cloud-based storage, video chatting systems, and wearables are just some of the technologies that are helping to improve HR workflows, talent recruiting, personnel engagement, and intraoffice communication.
Some of HR's more painstaking tasks have been moved in recent years to digital platforms that allow manual operations to be performed much more accurately and quickly. Time-consuming, meticulous tasks such as payroll, time-clocking, employee feedback, and other people management are now much more easily managed with automation enabled by digital tools. As a single department may use many of these tools to perform individual tasks, technology is now enabling interoperability between these programs. There are also all-in-one solutions – many cloud-based – that make running everyday HR tasks even less complex and more convenient.
People analytics is an emerging science that has great potential for Human Capital Management. Predictive algorithms can analyze data and recommend employee training needs, predict where fraud or other security risks are likely to happen, identify problems in time management, and even look for changes in employee voice timbre to gauge stress. As analytics become more capable, practical and cost-effective, they look to be a serious trend in HR.
Wearable technology, which includes fitness trackers and smart watches, has become extremely popular over the past several years. Some organizations are already seeing the benefits of using wearables to support employee wellness initiatives. Used by consumers to track their own heartrate, movement, and other heath data, these devices can also be used to help employees manage worktime stress and encourage physical activity.
HR departments have benefited from the technology boom to improve both employee performance and employee contentment. With so many platforms, programs and systems to choose from, you can decide exactly what works best for you to optimize operations at your own organization.

Donald Trump Appeared in the Music Video of a Russian Singer Who Helped Organize Trump Jr.'s Meeting With Kremlin-Tied Lawyer
By Kat Bein
Trump in the official music video for "In Another Life" by EMIN.
Reality is often stranger than fiction, and in today's pop-meets-politics news, we take a look back at a hammy appearance by the 45th president of the United States in a Russian pop music video.
It's unsurprising, given Donald Trump's long list of embarrassing cameos in TV and film, but it just so happens the singer's agent organized a meeting during the 2016 presidential campaign with Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information on Hilary Clinton.
As was recently reported in The New York Times, Trump's eldest son met with lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who has close ties with the Kremlin, at the behest of Rob Goldstone. It appears Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting after Goldstone mentioned that Veselnitskaya would give up dirty details on the then-Democratic presidential candidate.
Goldstone runs a public relations company called Oui 2 Entertainment. He knows the Trumps from his work on the Miss Universe pageant, and in 2013, when his EDM pop client Emin Agalarov filmed a music video for his single "In Another Life," Goldstone convinced Trump to make an appearance as Emin's angry boss. When the singer drifts off during a board meeting into a fantasy life spent with Miss Universe contestants, the businessman gets mad and fires him. You know, standard Trump behavior in and out of office.
Watch Trump & Putin Shake Hands to a Daft Punk-Inspired Beat, Thanks to Germany's G20 Video
The Washington Post reports that, back in 2013, Emin and his wealthy, real-estate developer father Aras Agalarov sponsored Trump's Miss Universe pageant. They also made a deal to build a Trump-branded tower in Moscow, although that deal is on hold. Goldstone has since confirmed that the 2016 meeting between Trump Jr. and Veselnitskaya was in fact requested by Emin Agalarov.
If this all seems very weird, that's because it is. For those keeping score at home, federal prosecutors are still investigating whether the Trump campaign was aware and encouraging of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Check the future president out in this Euro dance-pop tragedy below, and try to get a grasp on real life.

Move Over, Joyce, Yeats & Co. — Here Are The New Irish Writers
by Niall McArdle in Books | September 19, 2018
James Joyce (photo by Paweł Cieśla Staszek_Szybki_Jest via Wikimedia Commons)
Ireland trots out its literary and artistic heritage at any opportunity, and the country's writers are as much a tourist draw as its historic castles, quaint villages and rolling green fields. Just last week a prospective new arrival wondered which Irish writers she should be reading. The Guardian's Book Clinic (written, it should be noted, by an Englishman) suggested Joyce, Yeats, Beckett, and Heaney. They're all brilliant, of course. They're also all men and all dead, and arguably their work doesn't reflect Ireland in 2018. Since Heaney's death in 2013, the country has undergone massive social change and is currently in the midst of a devastating housing crisis that has produced scenes last witnessedduring the dark days of the Famine.
[Young Skins: Stories by Colin Barrett]
The Guardian article provoked a predictable backlash from the Irish twitterati, and soon enough a corrective from critic Sinead Gleeson appeared. Among the writers who more properly hold a mirror to today's Ireland are Eimear McBride, Lisa McInerney, Kevin Barry, Sally Rooney, Colin Barrett, Liz Nugent, Lucy Caldwell, and Mike McCormack. For what it's worth, 2Paragraphs would add Nuala O'Connor, David Park, Donal Ryan, and new Irish Fiction Laureate, Sebastian Barry. Eager readers will of course always welcome book recommendations. Coincidentally, Vulture just unveiled its Premature Attempt at the 21st Century Canon.

Q: In the code igniter loader function what file path does it want? I am trying to load a flat text file into a controller.  I understand that I need to use the Loader function to do it (and set the second parameter to true to get a string back) but no matter what path I use, Loader cannot find the file.  Where is the top of the file_path?
$this->load->file('../application/views/textiles/about.txt',true);
It would also be nice to know how I set this loaded string to a variable to be passed to a view.
Update
I should add, that I just found something that works equally well as Jordan's solution for what I am attempting to do.  The text file is written in markdown and so to convert it for the view, you can also do the following (and worry less about the file path):
$this->load->helper('markdown');
$string = $this->load->view('text.txt', '', true);
$string = markdown($string);
$data['text'] = $string;
$this->load->view('template', $data);

A:     $this->load->file('application/views/textiles/about.txt',true);

get rid of the ../ at the beginning of the file location. See codeigniter documentation on this.

A: The top of the file_path is in your document root. If you need to access a file inside application/views write:
$path = APPPATH . "views/textiles/about.txt";
$data['file_contents'] = $this->load->file($path, true);
$this->load->view('your_view', $data);

It's best to use APPPATH as shown, in case you ever decide to change your directory structure and reroute it in index.php. Note, if you're on a *NIX box, you'll need to grant the appropriate permissions to this directory/file.
Then in your view, you would access the file simply using $file_contents.

Fox Buys 73% of National Geographic: End of the World?
21 Century Fox did What?
Exactly what did Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox do? NPR reports:
In a $725 million deal, the 127-year-old National Geographic magazine is leaving behind its nonprofit status and becoming a key piece of a new venture between its parent organization and 21st Century Fox.
Fox is Already in National Geographic
If you've not kept up on cable TV deals, 21st Century Fox already owns about that much of National Geographic TV. That deal went down 18 years ago. The channel currently reaches 500 million homes worldwide.
Both the magazines and the channel will become part of the new National Geographic Partners. Partners will also house travel, education, digital and other products. Commenters to the NPR article noted above suggest both more ads in recent National Geographic Magazines and the "populous" shows on the NatGeo Channel point to things are already going "down hill" from the organizations prominent past. I can't comment; National Geographic is a brand I see only in my professional work in education and GIS, and even then, not that much.
Standards will Not Change
Both Fox and National Geographic say standards for the magazine will not change.
Executives at Fox and National Geographic underscored that the new partnership — which will be governed by a board with an equal number of representatives from each organization — would not affect the magazine's standards of reporting.
Further, Fox CEO James Murdoch, who took over from his father earlier this years stood fast.
Speaking to National Geographic staffers Wednesday, James Murdoch said he revered the publication, which he has read since childhood. He told the New York Times he has no plans to change the culture or mission of the magazine.
Good News for Climate Change Coverage and Research?
Quartz suggests the move may actually be a boon for those who want more accurate information regarding climate change. Not that the move would be easy and goes against much of previous Fox News coverage.
James's new job could usher in a new type of climate change coverage for Fox News, as the Huffington Post pointed out earlier this year. The nearly $1 billion investment in National Geographic might signal 21st Century Fox's first steps in that direction.
Quartz also looks at the business realities of National Geographic.
National Geographic, on the other hand, has scooped up dozens of major awards (pdf) on its extensive work related to the perils of a warming planet. Like many print properties, it has struggled to adapt to the digital era—circulation has fallen over 20% in the past three years, as the Washingtonian reports. Still, it has over 3 million paid subscribers, as well as a popular Instagram account and $55 million in annual revenue.
The deal also puts more money into National Geographic research raising the endowment to nearly $1 billion per the press release.
Media Is Changing!
Media is changing. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. HBO is involved with Sesame Street. Now Fox has a controlling interest in (more of) National Geographic.
I was ok with Bezos' acquisition. We need the Washington Post! And, I'm actually ok with the HBO deal. And, I think I'm ok with this one, too, despite some suggestions National Geographic was doing fine financially and that the deal may have been a bit premature.
Geographers, explorers, educators and others may feel disheartened about the change as we think we own or connect with the National Geographic brand in a special way. That may or may not change. I'll be curious about if in one year, five years or 18 years how we all feel about National Geographic.
Actually on Topic: Back to GIS
Did you every think about what'd happen when Jack Dangermond is ready to leave Esri? It's a popular topic of speculation in our industry. Among the ideas I've heard in my travels is that National Geographic might be where Esri lands. With its non-profit status and somewhat similar vision about exploration and managing our world, National Geographic might have seemed a good home. More recently, Esri has sidled up to Smithsonian (articles by Esri) and NPR (American Futures) two other very reputable media organizations.
Labels: esri, fox, GIS, natgeo
Phillip Davis September 15, 2015 at 12:54 PM
I imagine Jack is grooming an Esri insider to be the new CEO. Only question is will Esri go public or remain private.

It Takes a Second to Say Goodbye
More research on the annihilating capacity of nuclear weapons:
Axe, David (2019, October 3). A 'Limited' Nuclear War Quickly Could Kill 90 Million People. The National Interest,https://www.yahoo.com/news/limited-nuclear-war-quickly-could-200000895.html
A "small" nuclear war would kill or injure more than 90 million people within just a few hours.That's the startling conclusion that a team of researchers at Princeton University reached when they simulated an exchange of small-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons between the United States and Russia.

Aside from all the nuclear-power plant explosions, meltdowns, and hi-level nuclear waste and used-nuclear fuel fires, this is what quora has to say about a reactor getting hit.
"The spent fuel will vaporize and become pyrophoric, even with a small nuke, resulting in an area of deadly fallout far worse than anything a nuclear bomb can do on its own. Areas of direct contamination will remain uninhabitable for a very long time. It is the worst possible outcome in any nuclear weapons use." Jun 13, 2017

Two little Scotty dogs who have gotten loose and also gotten very hungry and are now barking and barking. You are like that. Desperate for attention and like many on the Left are telling handy lies . . . Feeding you attention is like feeding coyotes which is really not a good idea.
It should be possible to be a Democrat and at the same time be an honest commentator. But if such persons exists they are hard to find. If everything is subjective then nothing is. The concept loses its meaning just like stupid statements like there is no truth!
Already the word Democrat has taken on the meaning of barbarian, jihadi, and imbecile. People who have gone through a dehellenization process and have trouble using reason make good Democrats and wild men and women!
Anyone can scream and yell and repeat things heard on TV. . . And write nasty comments.

"Bags of decontaminated waste from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant washed into the Furumichi River in the city of Tamura in Fukushima Prefecture, the Japan Times reported."
I'll post here anything else I might find about the typhoon, although of course chances are slim of finding anything.

Here's another from the Evening Standard in the UK, dated 10/13/19:
"In Fukushima, Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) reported irregular readings from sensors monitoring water in its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The plant was crippled by a 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Tepco spokeswoman Emi Iwasa said the typhoon triggered 11 leak alerts at the plant. Of those, eight were confirmed as being triggered by rainwater and the rest were still being investigated.
Ms Iwasa said the operator had so far not confirmed if any radioactive water leaked into sea."
This morning, 10/14/19, nuclear-news.net, mining awareness +, and the big wobble.org have some excellent articles and a few pictures of typhoon damage at Fukushima Daiichi. The Big Wobble says thousands of bags of radioactive waste have been swept into a nearby river.

Backlash erupts at video depicting Trump killing media, critics | TheHill
A video depicting President Trump shooting and stabbing media organizations and some of his most prominent critics drew widespread backlash after The New York Times reported it was played at a conservative conference over the weekend at Trump's Doral resort.
Democrats and media organizations warned as the video circulated on YouTube and social media that it could incite further violence, with some calling on Trump to speak out and condemn the clip.
"At a conference of Trump supporters, they played a video of our president murdering journalists in a church. Last year, a Trump supporter sent bombs to CNN—and a shooter entered a church yesterday. This video isn't funny. It will get people killed," tweeted former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.

THE PLANET KILLERS SCORCHED EARTH POLICY
Trump has launched an assault on the world and America through it's Unchecked- Mindless , chaotic and insane neoliberal authoritarianism. It is devoted to destrying all natural beauty in America and turning America into a nuclear and chemical-poisoned wasteland. Trump and it's minions are now opening LARGE national Parks of americas most treasured beautiful, natural wilderness areas to Dune Buggys, Motocross Motorcycles, Quads, and other ATVs. Pristine hiking and backpacking areas and trgails setup, by Teddy Roosevet to
Preserve the Beauty of America's most gorgeous natural wonders.
Places where camping is allowed but, people had the sense to respect the beauty and bounteries of America's most beautiful natural settings and places.
Ntatural settings in Places like Yosemite, Yellowstone, Zion, Glacier, Canyonlands will be over-run with loud-unmuffled quad-dunebuggies that will destroy the beauty of these natural wonders, with rutted out quad quagmires, blackrubber all over the rocks decimation of wildlife, and erosive rivers of catastrophic destruction that only these ugly machines can do enmasse. There will be no more scenic tranquility. There will be only the noise and air pollution of frenetic , insane monkeys in their final death spiral.
It is reminiscent of The Bruce Dern's Movie: Silent Running, where the last Remaining Forests and natural habitats
on earth are put in massive domes to orbit the sun.

The irony, is that most of us who understand fukushima and the onslaught of planet destroying radionuclides, it continues to release makes space travel not as feasable as we have been brainwaahed to believe . The cosmic rays in space are far more deadly than the gamma and beta emitters from Nuke bombs and nuclear reactors and make our fantasies about space travel mostly pure fantasy diarrhea. There is also the problem of launching the massive number of chemical polluting rockets that would even make such a fool-hardy fantasy remotely possible.
The Tsunami of radionuclides unleashed by the nucleoapes over the past 75 years are planet, are killing the earth.
That is what is happening with the deranged-deregulation frenzy of this madman and it's minions.
Scorched earth policy.
The nuclear insanity of this administartion dwarfs all previous administrations. Deregulation. Nuclear war is survivable. Nuclear space wars. Nuclear reactors in the battlefield. Nuclear safety regulation by Nuclear Operators. Nuclear weapons in space. SMRs. Intermediate range nuclear missiles. Mass production of more Nuclear Warheads. Mass production of tactical Nuclear Warheads. First-Strike Nuclear policy by Trump and the pentagon. The most extreme money wasting insanity as the world drowns in floods of radionuclides. Fantsy nuclear reactors in space.
There will be a major nuclear accident in the USA in the coming year or so.
1. Trump has deregulated the safety supervision of reactors in america.
2. Trump has failed to reinforce reactors in the face of natural disaters after, what was seen to happen with fukushima. Trump is allowing nuclear operators to monitor their own safety is a large part of the extent of the Chernobyl and Fukushima Catastrophes. No other presdent has done this, since more independent operators were allowed to run nuclear reactors in the USA in the 1970s and 1980s.
3. The 97 reactors in the USA are all embrittled. Most are more than 25 years old. Many 30 to 56 years old . All, well past their closing dates. Trump Forces them to stay opened. Trump forces taxpayers to foot the bill for these unprofitable planet killers.
4. They all have poor power backup, in the face of natural disasters and other emergencies. Inability to prevent meltdowns from lack of power. Lack of backup that will lead to nuclear meltdowns, explosions, and fuel fires soon like Fukushima.
5. They all suffer form management and corporate malfeasance. Nuclear operators keep reactors going with earthquakes, hurricanes and floods going on right on top of them . This has been demonstrated recently, with STP project in Bay City Texas with Hurricane Harvey, massuce earthquakes in s Calfornia with diablo canyon. Hurricane Maria and Brunswick Nuclear Plant.
6. The operators use contract labor with no drug monitoring and outdated Nuclear computer instrumentation and monitoring systems.
7. Rotting infrstructure. Embrittled containment and reactor vessels. Failing and corroded pipes. 30 year old rusted, surplus , diesel backup generators that fail to crankup in test drills. Failing cooling systems. Holes in reactor containment.
8. Tens of thousands of tons of the most dangerous, expolsive, pyrophoric, HIGH-LEVEL Nuclear waste, stored in the most flimsy containment, on concrete pads, and at san Onofre. Thanks perry and trump
NUCLEAR REACTOR and Nuclear Waste MONITORING DEREGULATION AND CONTINUED NUCLEAR OPERATOR MALFEASANCE will create, more nuclear catastrophe, soon in america and we have already had, a lot.

From the Incompetent Moron in Chief That Wants To Arm Saudi Arabia with Nuclear Weapons and Help Build several Nuclear Reactors for the 911 Perpetrators
Trump is not pulling out of Syria to get American troops out of the Middle East. He is Moving them to Saudi Arabia, to help The Corrupt-Moronic Blood Thirsty Thug in Saudi Arabia that is not unlike himself. Trump is also leaving Syria because, his family got a bribe to sell out the Kurd's.
Saudi Arabia is getting it's ass kicked in Yemen By the
Houthis. Hundreds of once arrogant Saudi Troops and American Mercenaries run by Trump's mercenary Buddy, Eric Prinze have been captured by the Houthis. Trump is moving american Troops from Syria to SA and from elsewhere.

"It is clear to us that Iran bears responsibility for this attack. There is no other plausible explanation. We support ongoing investigations to establish further details."
The statement above was not written by Franz Kafka. In fact, it was written by a Kafka derivative: Brussels-based European bureaucracy. The Merkel-Macron-Johnson trio, representing Germany, France and the UK, seems to know what no "ongoing investigation" has unearthed: that Tehran was definitively responsible for the twin aerial strikes on Saudi oil installations.
"There is no other plausible explanation" translates as the occultation of Yemen. Yemen only features as the pounding ground of a vicious Saudi war, de facto supported by Washington and London and conducted with US and UK weapons, which has generated a horrendous humanitarian crisis.
So Iran is the culprit, no evidence provided, end of story, even if the "investigation continues."
Hassan Ali Al-Emad, Yemeni scholar and the son of a prominent tribal leader with ascendance over ten clans, begs to differ. "From a military perspective, nobody ever took our forces in Yemen seriously. Perhaps they started understanding it when our missiles hit Aramco."
Abqaig
A satellite image from the US government shows damage to oil and gas infrastructure from weekend drone attacks at Abqaig on September 15.
Al-Emad said: "Yemeni people have been encircled by an embargo. Why are Yemeni airports still closed? Children are dying without treatment. In this current war, the first door [to be closed against enemies] was Damascus. The second door is Yemen." Al-Emad considers that Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sayed Nasrallah and the Houthis are involved in the same struggle.
Al-Emad was born in Sana'a in a Zaydi family influenced by Wahhabi practices. Yet when he was 20, in 1997, he converted to Ahlulbayat after comparative studies between Sunni, Zaydi and the Imamiyyah - the branch of Shi'ite Islam that believes in 12 imams. He abandoned Zaydi in what could be considered a Voltairean act: because the sect cannot withstand critical analysis.
I talked and broke bread - and hummus - with Al-Emad, in Beirut, during the New Horizon conference among scholars from Lebanon, Iran, Italy, Canada, Russia and Germany. Although he says he cannot get into detail about military secrets, he confirmed: "Past Yemeni governments had missiles, but after 9/11 Yemen was banned from buying weapons from Russia. But we still had 400 missiles in warehouses in South Yemen. We used 200 Scuds - the rest is still there [laughs]."
Al-Emad breaks down Houthi weaponry into three categories: the old missile stock; cannibalized missiles using different spare parts ("transformation made in Yemen"); and those with new technology that use reverse engineering. He stressed: "We accept help from everybody," which suggests that not only Tehran and Hezbollah are pitching in.
Abqaiq
Smoke billows from the Aramco oil facility in Abqaiq in Saudi Arabia's Eastern province after the Sept 14 attacks.
Al-Emad's key demand is actually

Q: Best method to show fixed Listview Data - Arraylist / sqlite / any other My app contains about 8 activities having different Listview's. As the data shown in each activity is constant (cannot be changed by user), what method should I use to save the listview items ?
Should I make a arraylist, sqlite db, or other method.
As the list may be long I want a easy structured method to add data on my PC then shown it on my app.
*Adding data is updating my app with latest list

A: If you want to add data later on and have it updated on all user phones, you should make an API with a database behind it, where you can send an HTTP request to retrieve data for each list separately.
This way, you can change list content however you want and it will be the same on all devices and you don't have to store it on the phone (maybe only cache it to reduce load on the API). The only bad side is that you need a server and a domain.
May I suggest some simple backends: Flask(Python) or NodeJS (Javascript).

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled his "deal of the century," a proposal for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement that he called his "vision" for a two-state solution. According to Trump, the framework is a "win-win" for both Israel and the Palestinians.
However, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said after the release of the plan: "Trump, Jerusalem is not for sale. Our rights are not for sale. Your conspiracy deal will not pass." Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters, "Trump's statement is aggressive and it will spark a lot of anger."
Haaretz Weekly Ep. 58
In a rare display of unity, members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad attended Abbas' speech in Ramallah rejecting Trump's proposal, as hundreds of Palestinians rallied in the city, chanting slogans against Trump and Netanyahu. In Gaza City, Palestinians burned tires and chanted: "Trump is a fool." Elsewhere in the West Bank, protests took place in Nablus, Yatta, Beit Ummar, Hebron, Qalqilyah and Bet El, where the Israeli army fired tear gas and rubber bullets, wounding several protesters.

Following Trump's presentation, Netanyahu said Israel had won American recognition for applying Israeli sovereignty to West Bank settlements, including in the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea area.
"The law of Itamar is the law of Tel Aviv," Netanyahu told reporters in Washington, referring to the West Bank settlement.

Kahol Lavan, the party led by Benny Gantz that is challenging Netanyahu's Likud for national leadership in the March 2 election, said in a tweet that Trump's "important and historic speech" given by a "true friend to Israel and the Jewish people" conforms to Kahol Lavan's policy and security values.

Trump's peace plan calls for two states, settlement freeze
Key points of the plan:
A Palestinian state will be established while safeguarding Israel's security.
A committee will draw up a detailed map which will serve as the basis for negotiations.
A four-year freeze on Israeli settlement construction.
Jerusalem will be Israel's capital.
Palestinian capital will be in the East Jerusalem neighborhoods beyond the security barrier.
The plan was presented by Trump at a joint press conference at the White House alongside Netanyahu, who said Israel is willing to use it as the basis for immediate negotiations with the Palestinians.

In his speech, Netanyahu said Palestinians will have to recognize Israel as the Jewish state, and that Israel will maintain military control in the entire Jordan Valley, giving Israel a permanent eastern border with which to protect itself.
He also said Trump's plan "makes clear that the Palestinian refugee problem must be solved outside the state of Israel." It ensures, he continued, "that religious sites remain accessible to all faiths and maintains the status quo on the Temple Mount."
Israel's right wing expressed opposition to the plan's call for a Palestinian state, even though it insists the state be demilitarized.
Defense Minister and Hayamin Hehadash leader Naftali Bennett said, "We will not allow for Israel, under any circumstances, to recognize a Palestinian state." He added that in the coming days Israel must apply Israeli law to all settlement territories. This must not be postponed until after the election, and Israel must not be satisfied with partial sovereignty, Bennett said, adding, "Everything should be taken, and now."
After meeting with senior U.S. officials on Tuesday, the head of the Yesha Council of settlements, David Elhayani, said: "We cannot agree to a plan that will include the formation of a Palestinian state which will pose a threat to the State of Israel and a great danger in the future."
Two prominent rabbis, Haim Druckman and Dov Lior, also issued a statement calling for the rejection of any provisions for a Palestinian state.
According to Trump's plan, a committee will be formed and be tasked with drawing up a detailed map to serve as a basis for an agreement. The president added that Jerusalem will not be divided and will serve as Israel's capital. The Palestinian capital will be established in East Jerusalem neighborhoods that lie beyond the separation barrier, and will include an American embassy. According to Trump, the map would double the Palestinian territories of today, and "no Palestinians or Israelis will be uprooted from their homes."
Trump said Israel has agreed to a four-year freeze on settlement construction, which he said is meant to allow the Palestinians to meet the challenges of forging a state, as well as to allow negotiations. According to Trump, his plan includes a mutual recognition of Israel as the Jewish state and of Palestine as the state of the Palestinian people. Israel would retain security control over the West Bank. According to Trump, the Palestinians could receive more control of security down the line.
At one point in the speech, Trump addressed his remarks to Abbas, urging him to take "the path of peace" and praising Israel for taking a "great step for peace."

According to the latest study, a positive impact has been noticed of homeopathy treatment on a significant percentage of patients of kidney failure and hypothyroidism. The hypothyroidism study analysed the records of 2,083 patients from 2011 to 2015. It found that by the fourth visit to the clinic, 35 per cent of patients demonstrated an improvement in their serum thyroid stimulating hormone readings. The chronic kidney disease study analysed the records of 61 patients across two non-continuous months in 2018 and 2019. It found that by the third visit to the clinic, 50-58.3 per cent patients demonstrated an improvement in their serum urea and creatinine readings.
"The early observations are very interesting. In the hypothyroidism study, the data seems to indicate that specific homeopathic medicines given to patients were able to improve the functioning of the thyroid gland, thereby bringing down the thyroid stimulating hormone readings. This has the potential of reducing – or entirely stopping – the dosage of thyroid hormone replacement in patients. This runs contrary to the understanding of the natural history of hypothyroidism, which indicates that the progression of the disease is usually not controlled. More than one-third of patients of hypothyroidism benefitting from homeopathic medicines is a very significant number, considering that 11% of Indian population suffers from hypothyroidism," said Dr Kalyan Banerjee, who was instrumental behind the study.

Step & Repeat—The TikTok Fashion Reality Competition by Glamhive and Mary Kay Global Design Studio—Is Turning Heads on the Virtual Runway
SEATTLE & LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lights. Camera. Fashion. Step & Repeat, a first-of-its-kind fashion reality competition hosted on TikTok, is currently turning heads on virtual runways across the world. Created by Glamhive and the fashion-forward thinkers at the Mary Kay Global Design Studio, the competition elevates professionals in wardrobe, makeup, and hair stylists at every career level in a friendly, supportive, and inspirational five-week style competition and mentorship program on the ever-increasing social media platform TikTok.
Since its unveiling on June 22, Step & Repeat has reached the devices of millions of TikTok users worldwide, resulting in participation in more than 30 countries. Each week, Step & Repeat host Johnny Wujek (celebrity clients include Katy Perry and Mariah Carey) announces a theme-based challenge, signaling to amateur and seasoned stylists alike, across the globe that it's time to get creative—and think outside the closet.
"I love that we are able to showcase a global creative platform and movement," said Wujek.
"It's been so fun to watch people interpret each theme and challenge in their own personal way. Fashion is all about bringing people together to celebrate everything that makes up the glamour: from the clothes to the makeup and the hair."
Each round, celebrity judges Nicole Chavez (celebrity clients include Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Bell), Claire Sulmers (founder of Fashion Bomb Daily), and Andrew Fitzsimmons (celebrity clients include the Kardashians) duet some of the entries and ultimately determine winners. Each receives a cash prize and a one-hour mentoring session with one of nineteen industry leaders.
"This has been a fun, new way to connect and communicate with established creatives and the best emerging talent," said Chavez. "I love sharing my experience and encouraging the next generation to make it to the top."
During mentoring sessions, winners receive 1:1 coaching in creating a business around makeup, hair, or style—or maybe all three.
"I loved mentoring one of the incredible winners of the Step & Repeat TikTok challenge," said Brian Underwood, Beauty & Wellness Director for Oprah Daily. "Hearing about her creative journey, the challenges she's faced over the past year, and her inspiring plan for the future was an energizing experience. And I was so impressed by the content she created. These are the creative minds of tomorrow."
Participants aren't just spectators—they're building their personal businesses and learning through Step & Repeat's experts. Stephanie Sprangers, Founder and CEO of Glamhive, says that's by design.
"Our vision for this show is to harness the power of entertainment content and combine it with big-name talent and user generated content," says Sprangers. "It's all about inclusivity and opportunity. Winners have the chance at a conversation that could truly be life-changing. This is what excites everyone the most."
The creativity continues in the final week of the competition as the crown for creativity will culminate with the most intriguing challenge yet: rejected Met Gala themes.
"It has been remarkable to see the level of talent throughout this process," said Fitzsimmons. "Social media is a great equalizer in that it allows anyone with a talent and a dream to share their work on a global scale. It's been so exciting to see global influences reflected throughout this competition."
Step & Repeat has already started to garner the attention of TikTok users, topping over 1.5 million views and has been featured in the UK Daily Mail, The Daily Front Row, and Vogue Business.
"Being a part of this competition has been thrilling, and offers an innovative view on the next big stylists, makeup artists, and hair stylists," said Sulmers. "I've enjoyed seeing the diversity of participants, and their skills are unmatched."

Week in Civil Rights History: Ashe becomes first black player to win U.S. Open, and actress Dorothy Dandridge mysteriously died in Hollywood.
September 4, 1952: Eleven black students attended the first day of school at Claymont High School, Delaware, becoming the first African-American students in the 17 segregated states to integrate a previously all-white public school.
September 5, 1864: Pro-Union voters ratified Louisiana's new state Constitution, which abolished slavery and authorized the Legislature to extend voting rights to black men and have free public schools for all children, but the Legislature had other ideas — failing to extend voting rights and have free public schools for whites only. That Constitution only applied to the 13 parishes under Union control during the Civil War.
September 6, 1955: A grand jury in Mississippi indicted J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant for the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till, whose death helped propel the civil rights movement. That same day, he was buried at Burr Oak Cemetery in Chicago. At the funeral, his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, had insisted on an open casket so that the world could "see what they did to my baby." Photographs of Till's brutally beaten body appeared in publications around the world.
September 6, 1965: After previous attempts by Clyde Kennard, Raylawni Young Branch and Elaine Armstrong became the first African-American students enrolled at Mississippi Southern College (now University of Southern Mississippi). Branch had served as Forrest County NAACP secretary and as an active member of SNCC, CORE and SCLC. In 2013, the university honored the pair, naming a new campus plaza after them.
September 6, 1988: Lee Roy Young became the first African American to serve as a Texas Ranger in the law enforcement organization's 165-year history.
September 7, 1954: In compliance with the recent Brown v. Board of Education decision, schools in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., were desegregated. A month after a dozen black students began attending what had been an all-white school, demonstrations took place, one of them turning violent when 800 whites attacked four black students.
September 9, 1957: President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first civil rights law since Reconstruction. The act created a Civil Rights Commission to investigate discriminatory conditions and a Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice, allowing federal prosecutors to obtain court injunctions against those who interfered with the right to vote. U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina filibustered for more than 24 hours straight, but failed to defeat the act.
September 9, 1962: Two African-American churches used by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for voter registration meetings were burned in Sasser, Georgia.
September 9, 1968: Arthur Ashe won the U.S. Open Singles Tennis Championship, becoming the first African-American man to ever win a Grand Slam event. That same year, he also won the U.S. Amateur Championships, becoming the only player to ever win both events in the same year. He bolted to the top of the tennis world, also winning Wimbledon and the Australian Open. Born in Richmond, Virginia, Ashe began playing tennis at 7 and quickly encountered racism that prevented him from competing against white players and even from using the city's indoor courts. He and his family moved to St. Louis, where he learned the serve and volley game that made him famous. He also learned how to keep cool under pressure. In 1963, he became the first black player to play for the U.S. Davis Cup team. When the team won, Ashe was unable to keep the winnings because he was still classified as an amateur. Considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time, he retired in 1980, not long after suffering a heart attack, but continued to remain active, helping captain the Davis Cup teams to victory. He actively supported civil rights, too, joining a delegation that visited South Africa when the walls of segregation began to break down. When he underwent a second heart bypass surgery in 1983, he contracted HIV from a blood transfusion. He later spoke out publicly about the disease and worked to raise awareness. "I do not like being the personification of a problem, much less a problem involving a killer disease, but I know I must seize these opportunities to spread the word," he wrote in his memoir. Days after finishing "Days of Grace," he died in 1993, and that same year was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Three years later, the city of Richmond dedicated a statue of him on Monument Avenue, which previously commemorated only Confederate war heroes. The Arthur Ashe Learning Center continues to promote education and tennis around the world, and the stadium for the U.S. Open now bears his name.

Methinks this is one of those trends that will have all menfolk without a finger on the women's sartorial pulse scratching their heads and saying, "But I don't understand ..." And some of the ladyfolk, too.

I filed my Tort Claim, the clerk took the wrong copy so it wasn't signed so I have to refile it which is fine with me, just shows what a bunch of games they play, but I wanted to share it with those of you who may someday need it. Keep in mind this is only my Tort CLAIM as opposed to my Tort Brief for Superior Court, that is where the beauty unfolds, this dirty corrupt prejudiced town has forced me to learn things I would never have conceived, once I get the the brief finished I will post it too. These are very long, & there is a reason: If I were to lose then I have everything set up & entered into the court as a basis for appeal, preservation of ALL of the facts is sometimes the ONLY way you will win & seriously, look at my chances, I am fighting in the same town that has so far denied & laughed in the face of 1/2 of the United States Constitution, the Washington state constitution & over SIXTY different laws, not suggestions- but LAWS.

prosecution. These are the most common cases that are filed in the Court System. Police officers are trained to make split-second decisions under the most stressful of situations, yet it is in those situations where countless people have found themselves victims of police misconduct. You can file a complaint with the internal affairs department, or a tort claim with the city or county where the abuse took place. You can write letters to the editors of community papers; the idea being that this will help bring attentionto the issue, and possibly alert members of your community to what is happening. Its also important to support your community members when needed. When something happens in your community show up at Board of Supervisors meetings, City Council meetings, and at the Police Commission meetings; they listen when people are in numbers. If you witness someone being abused by the police, write down as much information as you can: badge numbers, car numbers, names, and uniform types.

Government derives its powers from the people. Ethics in government are the foundation on which the structure of government rests. State officials and employees of government hold a public trust that obligates them, in a special way, to honesty and integrity in fulfilling the responsibilities to which they are elected and appointed. Paramount in that trust is the principle that public office, whether elected or appointed, may not be used for personal gain or private advantage.
The citizens of the state expect all state officials and employees to perform their public responsibilities in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards and to conduct the business of the state only in a manner that advances the public's interest. State officials and employees are subject to the sanctions of law and scrutiny of the media; ultimately, however, they are accountable to the people and must consider this public accountability as a particular obligation of the public service. Only when affairs of government are conducted, at all levels, with openness as provided by law and an unswerving commitment to the public good does government work as it should.
The obligations of government rest equally on the state's citizenry. The effectiveness of government depends, fundamentally, on the confidence citizens can have in the judgments and decisions of their elected representatives. Citizens, therefore, should honor and respect the principles and the spirit of representative democracy, recognizing that both elected and appointed officials, together with state employees, seek to carry out their public duties with professional skill and dedication to the public interest. Such service merits public recognition and support.
All who have the privilege of working for the people of Washington state can have but one aim: To give the highest public service to its citizens.
¶19 We begin our discussion with an obvious truism: Every prosecutor is a quasi-judicial officer of the court, charged with the duty of insuring that an accused receives a fair trial. State v. Coles , 28 Wn. App. 563 , 573, 625 P.2d 713, review denied , 95 Wn.2d 1024 (1981); State v. Huson , 73 Wn.2d 660 , 663, 440 P.2d 192 (1968), cert. denied , 393 U.S. 1096 (1969). We hold that the prosecutor's misconduct in this case violated that duty, both in the closing argument and in the presentation of evidence.
¶20 In order to establish prosecutorial misconduct, Boehning must show that the prosecutor's conduct was improper and prejudiced his right to a fair trial. State v. Dhaliwal , 150 Wn.2d 559 , 578, 79 P.3d 432 (2003). Prejudice is established where " 'there is a substantial likelihood the instances of misconduct affected the jury's verdict.' " Dhaliwal , 150 Wn.2d at 578 (quoting State v. Pirtle , 127 Wn.2d 628 , 672, 904 P.2d 245 (1995), cert. denied , 518 U.S. 1026 (1996)).
[3, 4]¶21 Boehning did not object to the prosecutor's questioning and arguments below. A defendant who fails to object to an improper remark waives the right to assert prosecutorial misconduct unless the remark was so "flagrant and ill intentioned" that it causes enduring and resulting prejudice that a curative instruction could not have remedied. State v. Russell , 125 Wn.2d 24 , 86, 882 P.2d 747 (1994), cert. denied , 514 U.S. 1129 (1995). In determining whether the misconduct warrants reversal, we consider its prejudicial nature and its cumulative effect. State v. Suarez-Bravo , 72 Wn. App. 359 , 367, 864 P.2d 426 (1994).
[5, 6]¶23 We review a prosecutor's comments during closing argument in the context of the total argument, the issues in the case, the evidence addressed in the argument, and the jury instructions. Dhaliwal , 150 Wn.2d at 578 ; State v. Brown , 132 Wn.2d 529 , 561, 940 P.2d 546 (1997), cert. denied , 523 U.S. 1007 (1998). A prosecutor has wide latitude in closing argument to draw reasonable inferences from the evidence and to express such inferences to the jury. State v. Hoffman , 116 Wn.2d 51 , 94-95, 804 P.2d 577 (1991). However, a prosecutor may not make statements that are unsupported by the evidence and prejudice the defendant. State v. Jones , 71 Wn. App. 798 , 808, 863 P.2d 85 (1993), review denied , 124 Wn.2d 1018 (1994).
¶30 In closing argument, the prosecutor appealed to the jury's passions and prejudices, urging jurors to base a guilty verdict on a goal of sending a message to gangs or taking part in a mission to end violence, rather than returning a verdict based upon a consideration of the evidence properly admitted in the case. The majority of this improper argument followed a timely objection interposed by Soto-Rodriguez's counsel. The trial court overruled this objection and, thus, no curative instruction was given. We conclude that the prosecutor's improper argument irreparably damaged the fairness of the trial and diminishes our confidence in the verdict reached. As a result, Soto-Rodriguez's conviction must be reversed and a new trial held.
[1-3]¶31 Prosecutors have a duty to seek verdicts free from appeals to passion or prejudice. State v. Belgarde , 110 Wn.2d 504 , 507, 755 P.2d 174 (1988); State v. Echevarria , 71 Wn. App. 595, 598, 860 P.2d 420 (1993).«7»Accordingly, a prosecutor engages in misconduct when making an argument that appeals to jurors' fear and repudiation of criminal groups or invokes racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice as a reason to convict. Belgarde , 110 Wn.2d 504 . Likewise, inflammatory remarks, incitements to vengeance, exhortations to join a war against crime or drugs, or appeals to prejudice or patriotism are forbidden. State v. Neidigh , 78 Wn. App. 71 , 79, 895 P.2d 423 (1995).«8»In closing argument, a prosecuting attorney has wide latitude to draw and express reasonable inferences from the evidence. State v. Hoffman , 116 Wn.2d 51 , 94-95, 804 P.2d 577 (1991). However, a prosecutor may never suggest that evidence not presented at trial provides additional grounds for finding a defendant guilty. State v. Russell , 125 Wn.2d 24 , 87, 882 P.2d 747 (1994) (citing United States v. Garza , 608 F.2d 659, 663 (5th Cir. 1979)).
«7»This principle is one of long standing. Almost three decades ago, our Supreme Court explained: "In presenting a criminal case to the jury, it is incumbent upon a public prosecutor, as a quasi-judicial officer, to seek a verdict free of prejudice and based upon reason. As we have stated on numerous occasions, the prosecutor, in the interest of justice, must act impartially, and his trial behavior must be worthy of the position he holds. Prosecutorial misconduct may deprive the defendant of a fair trial. And only a fair trial is a constitutional trial." State v. Charlton , 90 Wn.2d 657 , 664-65, 585 P.2d 142 (1978).
«8»Federal courts addressing these issues have likewise held that it is improper for a prosecutor to urge the jury "to view this case as a battle in the war against drugs, and the defendants as enemy soldiers," Arrieta-Agressot v. United States , 3 F.3d 525, 527 (1st Cir. 1993), that the constitution prohibits appeals to racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice, United States v. Cabrera , 222 F.3d 590, 594 (9th Cir. 2000), and that it is improper for a prosecutor to "direct the jurors' desires to end a social problem toward convicting a particular defendant." United States v. Solivan , 937 F.2d 1146, 1153 (6th Cir. 1991) (reversing based on prosecutor's call to send a message to drug dealers, notwithstanding curative instruction given by trial court).
Court of Appeals: Holding that the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct at trial by attempting to elicit opinion testimony as to the defendant's guilt and by arguing stricken credibility testimony to the jury, and that the trial court erred by denying the defendant's motion for a mistrial based on the prosecutorial misconduct, the court reverses the judgment and remands the case for further proceedings.

¶1 HUNT , J . – Lisa D. Jungers appeals her conviction for unlawful possession of methamphetamine. She argues (1) the trial court erred in admitting evidence seized during an illegal search of probationer Michael Hodgkins' residence, (2) the prosecutor committed misconduct in eliciting and arguing inadmissible opinion evidence, and (3) the trial court abused its discretion in denying Jungers' motion for a mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct. Holding that the search and seizure were legal, we affirm the trial court's ruling that the methamphetamine was admissible. Holding further that prosecutorial misconduct required a mistrial, we reverse.
¶17 Jungers argues (1) the prosecutor committed misconduct by eliciting inadmissible credibility testimony and arguing stricken credibility testimony to the jury, and (2) the trial court erred by denying her motion for a mistrial based on this prosecutorial misconduct.
¶18 A criminal defendant's right to a fair trial is denied when the prosecutor makes improper comments and there is a substantial likelihood that the comments affected the jury's verdict. State v. Reed , 102 Wn.2d 140 , 145, 684 P.2d 699 (1984). Such is the case here.
Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 108 (1945).
This section was before us in United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299, 326, where we said: "Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because the wrongdoer is clothed with the authority of state law, is action taken `under color of' state law." Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 109 (1945). For it was abuse of basic civil and political rights, by states and their officials, that the Amendment and the enforcing legislation were adopted to uproot. The danger was not merely legislative or judicial. Nor was it threatened only from the state's highest officials. It was abuse by whatever agency the state might invest with its power capable of inflicting the deprivation. In all its flux, time makes some things axiomatic. One has been that state officials who violate their oaths of office and flout 117*117 the fundamental law are answerable to it when their misconduct brings upon them the penalty it authorizes and Congress has provided. Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 116-7 (1945) Mr. Justice Rutledge, concurring in the result. "It is not open to question that this statute is constitutional. . . [It] dealt with Federal rights and with all Federal rights, and protected them in the lump . . ." United States v. Mosley, 238 U.S. 383, 386, 387. Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 119 (1945) Mr. Justice Rutledge, concurring in the result. Separately, and often together in application, §§ 19 and 20 have been woven into our fundamental and statutory law. They have place among our more permanent legal achievements. They have safeguarded many rights and privileges apart from political ones. Among those buttressed, either by direct application or through the general conspiracy statute, § 37 (18 U.S.C. § 88), are the rights to a fair trial, including freedom from sham trials [including sham Collection Due Process Hearings] ; to be free from arrest and detention by methods constitutionally forbidden and from extortion of property [by threat of levy, lien, or lockdown letters] by such methods; from extortion of confessions; from mob action incited or shared by state officers; from failure to furnish police protection on proper occasion and demand; from interference with the free exercise of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and assembly; and 127*127 the necessary import of the decisions is that the right to be free from deprivation of life itself, without due process of law, that is, through abuse of state power by state officials, is as fully protected as other rights so secured. Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 126-7 (1945) Mr. Justice Rutledge, concurring in the result. They simply misconceived that the victim had no federal rights and that what they had done was not a crime within the federal power to penalize. That kind of error relieves no one from penalty. Screws v. United States, 325 US 91, 128 (1945) Mr. Justice Rutledge, concurring in the result.
 Like other lawyers, prosecutors are subject to Rules 5.1 and 5.3, which relate to responsibilities regarding lawyers and nonlawyers who work for or are associated with the lawyer's office. Paragraph (f) reminds the prosecutor of the importance of these obligations in connection with the unique dangers of improper extrajudicial statements in a criminal case. In addition, paragraph (f) requires a prosecutor to exercise reasonable care to prevent persons assisting or associated with the prosecutor from making improper extrajudicial statements, even when such persons are not under the direct supervision of the prosecutor. Ordinarily, the reasonable care standard will be satisfied if the prosecutor issues the appropriate cautions to law-enforcement personnel and other relevant individuals.
Notice requirements after removal of personal property by authorities is provided in paragraph (3). After removal of animals, notice must be provided by posting, personal service or certified mail and the owner must be provided written notice of the reasons for removal in this notice and legal remedies available to the owner.
Washington state's civil forfeiture act was adopted to protect people from having their property wrongfully seized by the government. In Guillen v. Contreras (Sup. Ct. En Banc. No. 82531-9 (9/2010), amicus notes that "an owner has the right to resist the taking of any of his property regardless of market value." Amicus Br. At 8, cf Guillen v. Contreras, Sup. Ct. En Banc, No. 82531-9 (9/9/2010). A citizen has the right to object to seizure, even if temporary, of his personal property no matter the market value. Forfeitures of personal and real property are not favored in the law and very specific procedures must be followed.by government officials and its agents when seizing property, including animals. If statutory procedures are not followed, the property was illegally seized and a person is lawfully entitled to possession thereof. Unless the seized property is needed for evidence, the petitioners are not the rightful owners, the property is contraband, or the property is subject to forfeiture pursuant to statute, the seized property must be returned.
Notice must be given within 15 days of seizure. RCW 69.50.505(c). If the property is personal property, one claiming an interest in it then has 45 days to respond, and if a response is made, a hearing must be held. RCW 69.50.505(d), (e). Washington State's forfeiture statutes are exclusive. Unless statutory procedure are followed, a Washington court cannot order forfeiture and must release the petitioners' property. A court does not have inherent authority to forfeit property. See, State v. Alaway, 64 Wn. App. 796, 828 P.2d 591, p. 3 (4/2/92).
