1. Is it possible to create a 'Procedure Turn' for an approach in the FMS?2. How exterior lights are used in relation to phases of flight?
Procedure turns are rare in today's radar and gps environment, many newer rnav (gps) approaches are using holding patterns instead for the purpose of getting on the right track between the IF and FAF.I always include the procedure turn or holding pattern in the sidstars I provide.. but these are custom routes. I don't think it is possible to program one from the FMC, it's easier just to fly it using the MCP HDG and ALT controls if you wish.From any direction, fly over the fix (usually the FAF) and turn outbound 1 min (maybe less if landing winds are above 10 kts), then turn 45 deg left or right as depicted on the chart and restart the timer. Hold that outbound for one minute then make a 180 deg turn in the opposite direction (if you turned right to go outbound then turn left to go inbound). Now you are on a 45 deg intercept for final, and in usually a little less than a minute the CDI needle will start moving and it's time to turn to final course. Maintain altitude per the chart until established on final approach.These are really one of the easiest manuevers that an instrument pilot trainee has to learn. Give it a try......As for lights, Beacon is on whenever engines are running. Usually all others are on below 10000 for collision avoidance.

Pound, gilts to judge if UK Autumn Statement restores market credibility
The movement of the pound and bonds on Thursday will be the first major economic test of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government as UK inflation accelerates to a 41-year high of 11.1%.
The reaction by markets could prove to be instrumental in the PM's longer-term leadership success, says the CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory organisations.
The comments from Nigel Green, chief executive of deVere Group, come ahead of Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt delivering the Autumn statement – a Budget in all but name.
He says: "Hunt has the difficult job of trying to plug a gaping hole in the UK's finances – reportedly £50 billion – and to tame inflation which is now running at a 41-year high, without pushing the economy battling into the abyss of a painful recession.
"With Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's backing, he will use the Autumn Statement to set out an agenda to raise taxes and squeeze public spending."
The deVere CEO continues: "However, arguably one of the most critical things Hunt has to try and achieve is to get the markets on-side and restore credibility and stability.
"Financial markets are unforgiving — as we saw after Liz Truss's disastrous mini-budget when the pound hit historic lows against the dollar, gilt yields jumped, and stock markets fell due to reckless economic policies.
"The reaction of the pound and the bond market on Thursday will be seen as a critical test on whether Hunt and Sunak have got the agenda right.
"Liz Truss was largely forced to quit because she got on the wrong side of bond markets, which sets the rate at which the government can borrow money to fund all the things it needs to do.
"If the pound rallies and the cost of government borrowing falls, it will be a win for Sunak's government."
But with the intensifying cost of living crisis and screaming headlines about 11.1% inflation, what might please financial markets, might not be good for political careers and voters.
"Hunt and Sunak are walking a fine line," says Nigel Green. "There's a long history of financial markets flexing their muscle in politics, and Thursday is another key test for the government and how the Conservatives will be viewed at the next election, likely in two years from now."
He concludes: "The Chancellor's Autumn Statement will instantly be judged by the value of the pound and gilt yields.
"It could also determine the fate of this government in two years' time by voters."

Everything You Know is Twisted
Freeway Ricky's Crack in the System
Marc Levin has a new film, and it's a mindblower: the true story of Ricky Ross (Freeway: Crack in the System/Blowback Productions).
I was fortunate to be invited to a debut screening last night and it propelled me back to the 1980s, when crack appeared in LA and NYC, and Iran-Contra-Cocaine started to explode onto the front pages.
Ricky started as a ghetto teenage tennis prodigy, and was well on his way to becoming the next Arthur Ashe when it was uncovered he was illiterate. After losing that career path, Rick turned to street hustling to survive, and became LA's biggest cocaine dealer in short order, making over a million a day at his height, and working directly under a CIA-asset Danilo Blandon, who was flying arms to Nicaragua and filling the planes up with cocaine on the return trip—coke supplied via a system setup by Carlos Lehder (who now walks free thanks to his testimony against Manuel Noriega).
Gary Webb stumbled into Rick's story, only he didn't stumble, he was directed by the voluptuous and highly-educated Coral Baca, who some say was/is Lehder's girlfriend and was allegedly working at AIG, a company with notorious offshore connections. Baca dropped out of sight for years after Webb's book was published, while the CIA went after the groundbreaking journalist with everything at their disposal, eventually destroying his career and causing his suicide. (Webb was not the only significant journalist attempting to investigate Iran-Contra-Cocaine, that dangerous mission included one Danny Casolaro, who was murdered while his precious octopus conspiracy files disappeared.)
At the height of the game, Ross was unexpectedly betrayed by Blandon and became the designated patsy, and was put away for life via a manipulated Federal three-strikes law, while Blandon and the CIA assets soon walked free. Rick lost everything, ending up in prison in Texas, where Levin first visited him a few years ago. At that time Rick told Levin he'd be getting out soon via appeal. And he did.
Obviously, Rick is a force of nature, and used his years in prison as an opportunity to teach himself to read. He became a voracious reader and now lectures on literacy in schools and prisons across the land, sharing his hard-earned wisdom.
Maybe you know a Florida-based rapper stole his identity and made millions pretending to be a cocaine kingpin, when in fact he was a correction's officer on the other side of the divide. When Rick got out of jail, he sued for $10 million and half the royalties, but the judge got vicious and threw the case out while ruling Rick had to pay the rapper nearly a half million dollars in legal fees. I have to wonder if somebody got to that judge, because this should have been an open-and-shut victory for the real Ricky Ross.
When the film comes around next month, check it out. It makes a great follow-up to the recent Kill the Messenger, which focused on Gary Webb.

Inside the Patty Hearst Kidnapping
Where are the counterculture journalists of today? The sixties produced a bunch of us, but we desperately need reinforcements because our society has become awash in idiot culture, short-term attention spans, click-baits, celebrity gossip, and runaway narcissism. But it wasn't always like this. There was life in America before the dumbing-down campaign reached epidemic proportions.
PM Press published two of Paul Krassner's penetrating essays on life behind the curtains in the seventies, one on the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, and the other on the murder of Harvey Milk. This book is a quick read designed to appeal to even the shortest of attention spans, but it also plumbs deep into the murky waters of the national security state, which took over the country long ago, and apparently had numerous operations ongoing in California in the seventies designed to derail the counterculture revolution.
The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst and brainwashed her into joining their violent revolution, which included robbing banks, territory already well charted by the Baader-Meinhof gang in Germany as well as the Weather Underground, a pro-violent off-shoot of a once non-violent Students for Democratic Society.
If you can't get control of a movement through penetration ops, the other way to co-opt any movement is by creating a more fanatical and violent alternative that can accuse the movement leaders of being too timid. This sort of game has been played for a long time, yet few journalists ever catch on.
Krassner caught on, although his groundbreaking conspiracy research often got all mixed up with his political satire. Real investigative journalists in America tend to die young: just ask Steve Kangas, Danny Casolaro or Gary Webb. It's unfortunate, Krassner dropped his conspiracy investigations because they began making him paranoid. To make matters more confusing, Krassner practically invented fake news in the 1950s and 60s by writing satirical stories in The Realist. His favorite trick was to make up something so outrageous it couldn't possibly be true, but fill it with details that fooled people into thinking it might be. The best example would be his account of LBJ fucking JFK's head wound in order to alter the direction of the fatal shot, something a few people in the Beltway seemed to have briefly swallowed.
Fortunately, satire is not a part of this collection, not really. While covering the Patty Hearst trial, Krassner discovered the family of an SLA member had hired Lake Headley, an ex-police intelligence officer, to find out what the SLA was all about. Headley soon informed them the SLA was part of the CIA's CHAOS program. Donald DeFreeze, founder of the group, was a documented police informant who had probably been subject to mind control during his incarceration.
It's strange how the publisher promotes this as "satire," when, in fact, it's just good journalism, the sort we need more of today.
Twist one way to make a conservative, and twist the other to make a liberal.
So easy to put both in a crowded environment with limited resources and fan the conflict with propaganda. Please don't fall for the phony left-right, liberal-conservative mind game. Respect everyone, especially the spirit of your ancestors and your future descendants. Don't surrender your moral integrity to a mythical avatar, and realize the more you know, the less you know.
There is really only one rule: don't hurt anybody.
The convergence of the internet and artificial intelligence has placed you in the most exciting, most promising moment in history.
So, enlighten up!

Band New England
October 1, 2018 September 8, 2018 Yosef Matos 0 Comments Band
GoldenOak is an emerging sound in New England folk music. A Portland, Maine based, Indie-Soul-Folk, sibling duo, Zak and Lena Kendall were born and raised in the Sandy River Valley of Western Maine. The two started making music together as kids and the bond of brother and sister is evident in their carefully crafted songs, poetic lyrics, and flowing harmonies. Influenced early by legends like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Band, and by the like of Fleet Foxes, First Aid Kit, and Ray LaMontagne. GoldenOak began writing music and performing in 2014. Their early songs led to their first official release, Pleasant St., in 2016, an album they co-wrote with cellist Seth Wegner. The full length album painted the landscape of the duo's childhood and their experiences growing up and leaving home. Appropriately, they recorded with accompaniments on electric guitar, cello, and trumpet, from hometown friends. The original album with beautiful instrumentation and voice solidified the band as ambassadors of the Maine Folk Scene. Following Pleasant St. Zak and Lena produced the Acadia Sessions, a series of live video sessions to highlight the album as they toured widely in the Northeast gaining in audience and recognition. The homegrown and honest approach of the band shows integrity and style, earning them praise across the board. The success of Pleasant St. and the following tour gained GoldenOak a nomination as "one of Portland's most important upcoming bands" by Dispatch Magazine. In October 2017, GoldenOak released Foxgloves, a 6 track EP that builds on Zak and Lena's folk roots with a remarkable orchestral approach. On the EP, the siblings expand their earthy sound and songwriting with percussion, piano, trumpet, cello, and violin. Evolvement Radio said of the EP, "the vocals are little more than another pair of instruments adding another exquisite layer of atmosphere to the songs. It's not until 'side two' of the EP that Zak and Lena's vocals take center stage in the mix. When they do step out vocally, they bring a stunning release of energy to the songs." The band kicked off their Foxgloves release tour with a sold out show at Portland's One Longfellow Square, and in December, Foxgloves was voted "EP of the Year" by the Portland Music Awards. As GoldenOak evolves and pushes boundaries, they continue to sow seeds in a rich folk tradition. Zak and Lena record and often tour with fellow musicians and band mates, Mike Knowles (Bass), Max Eddington (piano), and Jackson Cromwell (percussion). Over the last two years, they shared the stage with many notable artists such as Lady Lamb, The Dustbowl Revival, The Ghost of Paul Revere, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Parsonsfield.

Une lampe de mineur est une lampe utilisée dans les différentes sortes de mines. Il en existe beaucoup de types différents, suivant l'époque, le lieu géographique et le type de mine considéré (minerais, sel, charbon, autres minéraux…).

Historique

Antiquité

Depuis l'Antiquité, les mineurs se sont éclairés grâce à des chandelles de suif. Les mineurs les utilisaient soit sur des bougeoirs de fer, soit attachées à la tête au moyen d'une courroie de cuir.

Les Romains se servaient également de lampes à huile en terre cuite ou en métal, lampes plus éclairantes que les chandelles (lampe Rave).

Progrès de l'éclairage des mines depuis la fin du

Les lampes de mineurs suivirent les progrès de l'éclairage et l'évolution des carburants à partir des années 1780 : l'huile (colza, baleine) céda la place au pétrole à partir de 1853, puis vint l'essence, et enfin l'électricité.

Les lampes à feu nu (sans grille de sécurité) ou à flamme protégée mirent à profit le pouvoir éclairant de l'acétylène à la fin du , mais leur usage fut réservé aux mines métallifères et aux carrières souterraines (lampe Mercier) et certaines autres mines non grisouteuses (La Mure par  exemple).

« Lampe de sûreté »

La nécessité d'un éclairage de sûreté dans les atmosphères inflammables des mines (grisou, poussières) s'avéra à la suite de nombreux accidents. Le plus ancien procédé fut imaginé à Whitehaven, en 1760. Il s'agissait d'un rouet à silex par dégagement de gerbes d'étincelles.

Lampe Davy

La lampe Davy est une lampe à combustible dont la flamme est entourée d'un grillage fin. Sans ce grillage, la flamme aurait pu enflammer les gaz de la mine, ou les poussières (coup de grisou ou coup de poussière). En effet, les flammes ne traversent pas les grillages fins. Le métal absorbe la chaleur de la flamme. Ainsi refroidie à proximité du grillage, la flamme ne peut pas le traverser.

C'est à Humphry Davy et George Stephenson que nous devons le concept en 1815 des lampes de sûreté : un tamis métallique à mailles très serrées empêche la propagation d'une flamme de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur de la lampe.

Des perfectionnements successifs ont été apportés : double grillage, réflecteur, lentilles. En cas de présence de gaz combustible, la flamme se contentait de grandir, conduisant ainsi à un signal d'alerte.

Ultérieurement les lampes ont été équipées d'abord d'un verre puis d'une cuirasse en tôle. L'essence minérale s'étant substituée à l'huile, on adapta aux lampes un système de ré-allumage interne.

Autres lampes de sûreté

Diverses lampes marquent chacune un stade nouveau dans l'évolution technique de l'appareil :
 la lampe Clanny : avec sa cage de verre munie de barreaux, la flamme n'est plus masquée par la grille métallique protectrice, et a donc un meilleur rendement lumineux ;
 puis la lampe Mueseler, mieux ventilée ;
 puis la lampe Marsaut à cuirasse rivetée : il s'agit à l'origine, en 1871, d'une lampe Mueseler avec un écran métallique protégeant la grille des chocs et empêchant les courants d'air d'amener la flamme jusqu'à la grille, s'inspirant d'essais pratiqués en Angleterre avec les lampes Davy ; après des essais effectués à l'École des mines de Saint-Étienne, en 1881, Marsaut supprime la cheminée et la remplace par une grille et dépose son brevet en 1882 ;
 la lampe Wolf, à essence (« benzine »).

De nombreuses autres lampes s'apparentent à ces premières : la lampe Rodde (1894), la lampe Fumat (1903), la lampe Mulkay, la lampe Müller à système de fermeture magnétique, la lampe Cuvelier-Catrice à fermeture hydraulique, la lampe Demeure, la lampe Seippel, la lampe Koch.

Les lampes de sûreté à combustible liquide n'ont plus guère été utilisées après l'avènement de lampes électriques portatives plus performantes et moins dangereuses. Néanmoins, l'usage des lampes de ce type a perduré dans certaines mines de charbon pour leur rôle d'avertisseur de grisou.

Cas des lampes de sûreté à acétylène

En France, aucune lampe à acétylène de sûreté n'a été agréée pour les mines grisouteuses contrairement à d'autres bassins d'extraction. L'usage de la lampe Klein Pujol (créée pour les égouts parisiens en 1923) fut limité, dans le domaine des mines, aux travaux de fonçage de puits.

Lampes électriques portatives

Les premières lampes électriques portatives à piles primaires mises en service en 1862 étaient loin de répondre à toutes les exigences de sécurité. Les lampes à accumulateur et à électrolyte liquide : modèles d'Edison, de Pitkin, de Swan, de Bréguet, de Pollak, Stella, de Mallet-Parent. Les lampes à accumulateur et électrolyte immobilisé présentent l'avantage de résister aux renversements accidentels.

Ces collections sont présentées au Bois du Cazier et au chateau des Bruneaux.

Q: Pass input id from view to controller using an onclick (location.href) event in MVC? I want to be able to pass the id value of a button using an onclick (location.href) from my view to a controller action result. My code is as follows:
Delete

So i want the id value ( sendId() ) to be returned to the action result "DeleteUserType" in the "Admin" controller via the "new { id = ... })" portion of the location.href event. My view includes the following at the top:
@model List<FoodSpot.ViewModels.UserTypeViewModel>

Therefore to access specific view model attributes, id need a foreach (which wont necessarily work in the above case) are there any alternatives to this problem?

Everyone experiences, at some point in our life, times of pressure, difficult, distress. How can we find solutions that work for us in these times? How can we position ourselves to experience great comfort in times of distress. When we're in pain, out thinking is affected, and we tend to lose perspective. We then easily isolate, and turn to false comforts. The enemy of our soul likes to torment us, but God is a God of Comfort. Learn how to experience the comfort of God, the reality of His presence, and the comfort of Scriptures.
Key Verse: Romans 15:4 – "Whatever things were written before, were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the scriptures, might have hope.
One of the things that's inevitable is that, everyone experiences at some point in our life, times of pressure, difficulty, distress.
Even Jesus Himself had great distress. Jesus said: in the world you will experience tribulation, or pressures, or difficulties.
How many recognise that life is not all sweet? Lots of stuff happens that you don't like, or wish didn't happen. So what we're looking at is: how to find solutions that work for you in those times?
Marriage can be a source of pressure and difficulty and pain. Family can be a source of pressure and difficulty and pain, especially when it comes to the beginning of the year - paying all the bills. Then in their teenage years... there's stresses and difficulty. So marriage, and broken friendships, can cause real pain and stress and difficulty.
Financial setbacks - how many have been through a financial pressure, difficulty, stress - and really felt something?
A criticism can be extremely distressful. Injustice can be extremely distressful; conflicts, disappointment. The list goes on.
The more you look around, the more you see that we face a whole range of things - betrayals, sickness, redundancy. Life is full of setbacks and difficulties.
The thing we also should expect: that as a believer - it's normal to have that; and as a believer - you'll have more, because you follow Jesus. How about that?
It says: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous". However, the good news: "The Lord delivers him out of them all" - and I'm interested how the Lord delivers. I want to know how to find, and experience, the comfort of God in the midst of stress.
The Bible tells us here: "that through the comfort of the scriptures". God has given you the Bible to produce specific things in your life: teaching, correction, reproof, and structure on how to live. But one thing it says here is: it's designed to bring comfort to you.
We need to learn how to get comfort from the Bible, and to understand a little about it. There's a reason we need comfort - we can learn how to position ourselves to experience great comfort in times of distress. In the next session, I want to share on how you can comfort others with scriptures, and we'll see that very clearly in just a moment.
1) When your feelings are hurt - our thinking is affected, and we lose perspective. When you're in a lot of pain - it affects how you think about yourself, about God, about life, about people, about church, about government, all kinds of things.
Your thinking is affected when you're in pain, and the tendency is to lose perspective. Remember Elijah, when he got into tremendous fear and pain, he was fearful of losing his life. He totally lost his perspective. In the end he said: I'm the only one in the whole nation that's standing for God; and God had to tell him: actually there's 7000!
Notice his perspective is all screwed up - and it's messed up because of pain that he's feeling; so one of the things we have to recognise is: when you start to go through feelings of pain, it affects your perspective - how you think, and for a while you just don't think straight.


"In the midst of all the violence and corruption of the world God invites us today to create new places of belonging, places of sharing, of peace and of kindness, places where no-one needs to defend themselves; places where each one is loved and accepted with one's own fragility abilities and disabilities.
Our mission during the summer months is to provide a space for heat relief while building community through the sharing of community resources, meals, water, and ourselves in a place of being, belonging, and becoming.
While we recognize that we will use a lot of plastic in our distribution of water we want to ensure that we recycle all of it. Additionally, beyond just recycling we will make an effort to reduce food waste to a minimum. We can do that by being creative with our menus and conscious of our serving sizes (one can always come back for seconds). If you see areas we could improve, your suggestions are welcome.


We take security and data protection very seriously. From the secure hosting environments, right through to the front end of your websites, each technology layer is methodically hardened against automated attack vectors, and processes are in place to maintain tight internal security of workstations, passwords, codebases and databases.
Independent penetration testing has been carried out on several of our client websites and content management systems, and no serious vulnerabilities have been uncovered.
When it comes to third-party software, we only work with reputable vendors who share our commitment to information security, and we have more than enough expertise to extend these third-party systems with our own security-first coding instead of blindly trusting and relying on "black-box" plugins.
CLD's internal processes have also been scrutinised and refined by a multinational healthcare client during a process they call the 'Business Partner Risk Assessment', and we now work with them as a trusted partner, dealing with confidential healthcare and patient data hosted across multiple international web properties.
We have a deep understanding of the requirements of modern content strategy and web governance. On a practical level, this means we can work with our clients to build bespoke publishing workflows that help them to remain externally compliant, and internally well-organised.
We help our clients to develop future-friendly and atomic content items, that are clearly defined based on their semantic nature, and woven together into pleasing user experiences that help visitors to achieve their goals. This approach allows you to retain tight control over all aspects of your data and assign ownership of it to different groups or individuals.

[Edge1.1.24] Tomorrow Is A New Day
"Whoa!" Art said and looked at Tony in shock.
"Hey! Keep your eyes on the road, man." Tony commanded.
Art looked back at the road, but he could see Tony smiling out of the corner of his eyes.
"Serious?" Art asked in surprise. "Like I can choose the one I want?"
"No, goofball. You can't choose one. I'm giving you all three cars. I'm tired of the Ferarri and the Aston. BMW sent me the new one as a gift for being a valuable client, but I didn't really like the way they made the steering wheel. Besides, I'll never drive it anyway."
"Wow! Thanks." Art said. He tried to think of something else to say, but nothing came to mind. He started to look back at Tony, but the old man scowled at him and told him to keep his eyes on the road.
They drove down the road a way before Tony had him turn into a gated community. Art pulled up, and Tony introduced him to the guard on security duty. Art was amazed at the beauty of the place. Lush green grass growing over low rolling hills.
"There's a golf course right over along that side. Pools are down there by the clubhouse. And that's your gym."
Art paused to let a golf cart and several people cross.
"Busy tonight. Huh?" Art said.
"Nah, just wait till Friday. Then you'll see this place hopping." Bill answered.
"You play golf?" Art asked.
"Yeah, since when did you start playing golf?" Tony asked. "You told me you didn't play last time I invited you along."
"I have a friend who lives down here. I come over once in a while for a barbecue. We just sit on the front porch and watch the babes." Bill half-giggled and half-snorted to himself.
Art and Tony just looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Seriously, Bill? You're such a loser. I keep telling you that you gotta get a life. Tell me you at least go hit on some of them. Right?" Tony said.
"C'mon, Tony. I'm just a working man. I just drive a Toyota. All these girls come down here with their millionaire boyfriends in Lambos. What chance do I got with them? They see me with my car and won't give me the time of day." Bill whined.
"What are you talking about. You're a big shot military guy who does security for a high-tech firm. You're not some hobo on the street. Suck it up, man. Some of these girls are bored out of their minds with these fat, old geezers. Give them five minutes, and they'll fall head over heels in love with you." Tony shot back.
"Nah, man! That's not how it works around here. You have never been rejected by one of these gold diggers." Bill complained.
"I'll loan you one of my new cars," Art said. "You can borrow one on a Friday night and drive down here to visit me."
"Really? You'd do that for me?" Bill asked.
"Sure." Art replied. "Freely you have received, freely you shall give. It'll be fun. You can be my wingman."
Bill brightened up and thanked Art profusely several times while patting him on the back each time. After about the third time, Tony lost it and slapped his hand off of Art's shoulder.
"For crying out loud, man. Leave the dude alone and let him drive. You sound like the guy just saved your life, not loaned you a car so you could pick a chick. Sheesh. You sound like such a douchebag. You should listen to yourself. You're never gonna get a decent girl that way. It's not about the money or the car. It's about the self-confidence. You just got act like you're the man." Tony ranted.
Art glanced back at Bill, and they both rolled their eyes.
"Yes, Tony. That may be so. But in this case, I have to agree with Bill. Having a nice car will definitely help him get his foot in the door. He's not as good looking as me." Art said laughingly.
Bill took a swipe at him and landed a light punch on his arm. "Watch it. Yo! I'm the man with the gun in a uniform, and chicks dig that too."
Art just shook his head and rolled his eyes once again. Tony pointed to a huge house off to the side and directed him to pull up the drive. Art paused the car at the entrance and leaned closer over the wheel. He looked at Tony wide-eyed.
"What are you waiting for? Step on it. I'm more anxious than you to see this place too." Tony said with a grin.
Art looked back at Bill for a brief second. Then he eased his way up the hill towards the house. The house looked like a massive, three-story mansion with a bit of a Mexican flair to it. There was a wide veranda that looked like it went around most of the house.
He parked the car and stepped out into the shadows under the light of the moon. It was a beautiful night. Art listened to the sounds of nature coming from the trees. He heard the sound of frogs chirping in the background and a cicada humming. They were loud, but they were all natural sounds. He realized that there as no sound of cars or humans.
This was a huge difference from the house he lived in Brazil. His house was right next to a large road where he heard cars and buses going by all night while motorcycles raced each other till the crack of dawn. He breathed deeply of the cool night air.
Tony had the door open and was waiting for him. Bill waited till they were safely inside till coming in after them.
The house was even nicer than Art had imagined. They entered right into a small foyer that then led into a large living room. He could see the patio and pool out beyond that. There was a large kitchen to the left and a hall that looked like it led to several bedrooms to the right. The stairs led on up into the other parts of the house.
"There was some furniture that the old owner left behind. You can keep anything you like. The rest you can chuck. I'll have Rhonda come over tomorrow to redecorate the place for you. Once that's ready, you can stay here."
Art whistled as they continued to walk around the house.
"Delta Two will be your personal bodyguard and lead on your security team. We'll keep guards on site twenty-four-seven until we've eliminated all threats and make sure your safe. And Joanna will be your personal chef cooking breakfast and supper. You can eat lunch at the office cafeteria with us, or eat out at one of Ridtote's fine restaurants. There will also be a maid and a maintenance man to keep the place up." Tony continued.
"This is way too much, Tony." Art said. "I can't take all of this."
"No, Art. Listen to me. You have a much bigger priority right now. You're gonna save the world. The world can't wait for you to clean the toilets and mow the lawn. I expect you to spend every working hour focused one hundred and fifty percent on implementing your technology to our needs. No one else can do what you can. Besides, these guys are all pros and can do these jobs much more efficiently than you could. You play to their strengths and let them play to theirs. This is a win-win situation for everybody."
"Okay, Tony. Since you put it that way, it makes sense." Art replied. "I would normally feel guilty paying someone to do something that I could do myself. My momma always taught me to be self-reliant and independent."
"I'm sure you're momma's a smart Brazilian lady. So, I'm not gonna knock the lessons she taught you. But I'll bet she didn't realize that she was raising a billionaire genius that was developing a global cure for all disease who needs to focus on achieving one, single thing." Tony said.
He slapped Art on the back at the very end as they finished walking back down the stairs towards the living room.
"I could just have the rest of my team help out here. You know. There's lots of room and we can all pitch in together." Art said as he pointed to the rooms upstairs.
Tony grimaced and shook his head. He turned Art to face him squarely.
"This is your house, Art. Your team will have their own houses somewhere else. They will have their own cleaning and maintenance crew. They'll get all their meals too, just like you. Don't worry about them. Let me take care of you, and them, and everything you need. Just keep them focused on implementing your technology to our needs. That's the only thing I need you to do. Can you understand that." Tony said as he lowered his head and raised his eyebrows to look into Art's eyes.
Art nodded dumbly. This was all happening too fast. It was almost more than he could take in. He nodded and again and slapped Tony on the shoulder.
"I'll do my best to make you proud of us, Tony. Thank you. I really appreciate your generosity." Art said.
"Good. Good, man." Tony replied.
Art walked over to the large, glass door and slid it open. He stepped back outside onto the patio and breathed in the cool night air. Tony flipped on the lights to the pool area. It was absolutely gorgeous. Art sat down at the picnic table to soak it all in.
Off in the distance, he could see the golf course. There was a sand pit to the side. To the other, there was a small lake. And in the center of the green, he could see the flag waving brightly as it reflected the light of the moon.
Art smiled to himself in the dark. This was beyond anything he had ever dreamed of. It was an amazing house better than he ever imagined living in, and he couldn't wait until his mother arrived to see it.
He kept the image of his mother sitting at this table while drinking a fresh pot of coffee as he drove them all back to the office building. Art couldn't wait for tomorrow to get here so he could see what other amazing things, life had in store for him.
Tony's driver picked him up soon after they got back, and Bill drove home in his Toyota. He didn't ask to borrow the Ferrari yet, although Art could tell that he was dying to. After they left, Art went into the kitchen and cut himself a large slice of the pecan pie that Joanna had left him.
Art didn't bother taking a bath. He was too tired. He fell back into the same bed where he had napped that day. The bed had been made, and the sheets changed which reminded Art of Carla. Who was she? And why had she come to see him?
He continued mulling all these crazy events and questions over in his head until he fell asleep. The last thing he remembered thinking about was driving into his new house with the Ferrari on Friday for a barbecue with Bill. He had just drifted off to sleep when his new cell phone beeped to announce an incoming message.
"What did you do? I told you not to sign the contract. You're a dead man now, Arthur Costa."
Art ignored the message and rolled back over. There was nothing he could do about this tonight. He would let Tony handle it in the morning. Either Tony would be able to explain all these things to his satisfaction over the next two weeks, or else Art would leave. Either way, he got to keep the money Tony paid him in this first deposit. He smiled and drifted off easily into a dream world filled with fast cars, beautiful women, and huge feasts in exotic mansions.

Kenya: Uhuru Indebted to Kenyans Only
NAIROBI, 30 January 2021 – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he owes no one but the people of Kenya and will use the rest of his term to serve them.
He spoke from Sagana in Mount Kenya region Saturday on the second of his four-day tour of regions and only 24 hours after denying suggestions that he would not support his deputy, William Ruto, to succeed him as president.

"I have never said I will not support William Ruto. Why do you keep insulting me?" Uhuru had said Friday during his first stop in the Central region.
"Some people keep saying I made a promise to them. No, I only have a promise and covenant with the people of Kenya," Uhuru told a crowd Saturday during his stop in Mt Kenya region.
"That is the promise I am implementing. Ask your guy why he can't allow me to do my work and keeps coming back for the baton, instead of waiting for his turn," Uhuru added.
Just 24 hours earlier, the Kenyan leader had asked: "I said ten-ten, but when did my ten-years end?"
The insinuation being that for as long as his term is not yet fully served, there is no reason to evoke his successor.

"I have been busy with work, doing what you asked me to do," Uhuru said Friday.
The Kenyan leader added: "The rest have been making noise."
Uhuru promised to use the time left on his term to ensure that there is no more bloodshed after elections in Kenya.
The country's presidential of 8 August 2017 was marred by serious post-election violence in which over 1,000 people were slaughtered.
The belief is widespread in Kenya that President Uhuru and Deputy President Ruto sealed an agreement for Ruto to back his boss during his two terms and count on his boss backing his bid to govern the country for two terms as well.

The Cleveland Brawl: First Presidential Debate Was a Cage Fight
By Janice Shaw Crouse
Two crucial things that emerged from the first presidential debate;
Fact-checking Biden: Did Trump lie to the American people about COVID?
Before the first presidential debate, the consensus was that it would be a consequential event — pundits said, "This debate matters; this election matters." Others talked about it being a "big deal" and a "historic moment." Obviously, both candidates approached the debate knowing the significance of their performances. Both were ready, even raring, to go!
Trump needed to defend his record and show strength; he did that. Biden needed to show that he had the mental ability to make sense and stand up for 90 minutes; he did that. In that sense, the debate was a draw. But Trump succeeded in keeping Biden off balance; clearly, Biden got rattled and flustered. Biden has a reputation for nasty responses when he's challenged. He certainly cemented that reputation in the first debate. The most memorable lines of the night were Biden at his nastiest: "Will you shut up, man?" and "Keep yapping, man!" He also accused Trump of "ranting" and being "racist." In utter frustration and exasperation at one point, Biden exclaimed, "It's hard to get a word in with this clown." These are new lows for someone who at one point in the debate responded to Trump's taunt, "This is so unpresidential!"
This was not the Lincoln-Douglas debates. It was more like mud-wrestling!
In terms of substance, Biden echoed the old-fashioned political rhetoric full of generalities, empathetic sentiments, and talk about needing to "bring everybody together." He was well coached and able to repeat the memorized lines. Trump was a free-wheeling force of nature and was on the offense throughout the whole debate. His goal seemed to be getting Biden angry and off-script. He succeeded. He made numerous empty complaints about Trump by muttering while Trump was talking, "He doesn't know what he's talking about." He also said of Trump several times, "He doesn't know how to do that!" Another time he said Trump "never keeps his words."
Trump didn't leave his base or the undecided with a clear message or vision that was focused and sharp. Instead, he answered charges as they came up and attacked every criticism. For instance, when he was criticized for the COVID shutdowns, he responded that the shutdown "had serious impacts both on the economy and on people's health and well-being." In contrast, Biden had his points, his statistics, and his lines down pat, but he couldn't answer attacks or criticisms. In some instances, unbelievably, he didn't even try. Early on, he bluntly told the moderator, "I'm not going to answer that question." Biden made wild statements when he was flustered. He claimed, "The Democratic Party is me!" When pressed about why he didn't do something about the riots, violence, and looting, he brushed it off with "I'm not in public office."
Trump successfully forced Biden to reveal his leftist positions on several key issues. Where Biden really blew it was repeating the assertion, "Antifa is an idea, not an organization." He blamed Trump for the division in the country and for the violence in the cities. He mentioned several times that violence has gone up "under Trump." When pushed on his views about law enforcement, Biden couldn't name a single law enforcement group that supported him, nor did he even attempt to give a wholehearted endorsement of the police. Instead, he talked about the need to have "psychologists and psychiatrists" go with law enforcement to try to "calm people down." He also talked about the need to "reimagine police" and have "community policing."
Trump also pushed Biden on his far-left views, linking Biden to the Green New Deal. Trump focused his climate remarks on the need for clean water and air and commonsense environmental conservation. Trump gave a strong critique of the forestry policies that he claims lead to the annual fires that sweep so destructively through California. Trump was particularly strong in defending his executive order to end training in critical race theory. He bluntly called the training racist and said it trains people to hate America. Biden supported the training because many people are "racially insensitive" and need to be taught how to "not offend" others. Trump defended his relaxing the shutdown and pushed Biden to the point of implying that he will shut the country down again if he is elected.
Trump will catch flak for his snarky comment after condemning white supremacy. He called on the Proud Boys to "stand back," but he also said they should "stand by." He then added that something has to be done "about Antifa and the left." There will be little disagreement over that among most Americans who have seen the violence of cities burning, statues toppled, hardworking Americans' businesses destroyed and brutal attacks on police trying to maintain peace and order.
In short, the first debate was a no-holds-barred brawl. Joe Biden didn't embarrass himself and survived to debate another day. Donald Trump prevailed by the sheer force of his personality and his quick thinking. The big question is whether the debates can survive the chaos unleashed in this first one. Chris Wallace did not clearly establish the structure and definitely did not control the process. He tried repeatedly but was ineffective. There was nothing edifying about the debate, and probably few people will change their votes based on it. The future moderators face a daunting challenge.

Christie Says Economy Key To Higher Ed Spending

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says higher education will be the first area to see increased spending once the state's economy turns around.
The governor made the promise Tuesday as he announced recommendations of his task force on higher education.
Christie cut $181 million in aid to higher education this year.
The task force chaired by former governor Tom Kean made 70 recommendations. They include more autonomy for college presidents and efforts to stem migration of New Jersey students to out-of-state colleges.
The state's 31 public and 32 independent higher education institutions enroll 429,000 students. They've been hampered by a lack of state capital investment and increased costs.

Our firm is one of the established workers' compensation practices in south Florida. Led by founding attorney Howard Grossman, a Florida Bar Board-Certified Emeritus Specialist in worker's compensation law, we help people hurt or sickened in the workplace apply for and receive workers' compensation benefits.
We help injured employees throughout Florida from our offices in Boca Raton and Clewiston.
Workers' compensation is a program designed to help people who are injured or fall ill at work. Under the workers' compensation system, injured workers are supposed to quickly receive disability assistance, medical care, and wage replacement benefits without regard to the employer's fault for the injury. This arrangement avoids drawn-out lawsuits by workers against employers to get the money they need immediately. However, oftentimes the employer or carrier contests the payment of benefits or refuses to provide needed medical care.
Most people think of construction accidents or assembly-line injuries when they think of workers' compensation. At Howard S. Grossman, P.A., we help people with these types of "traditional" workers' comp injuries, but we also help people in more unusual situations, including EMT and health care workers exposed to Hepatitis-C, HIV/AIDS, and other communicable illnesses. We help with repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. We also help injured longshoremen and harbor workers receive benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' compensation program.
If a worker is temporarily or permanently disabled, the Workers Compensation Act provides ongoing disability payments for a limited time during the disability. We can help prove the extent of your disability and make sure that your benefits match your needs, whether you face:
Permanent total disability
Permanent partial disability
Temporary total disability
Temporary partial disability
Need for further medical treatment.
Workers' compensation may not be your only recourse. In many instances, someone other than the employer shares responsibility. If another person or company helped bring about your workplace injury or illness, we apply our knowledge of personal injury and negligence law to help you pursue those people for recovery above and beyond workers' compensation benefits.
At Howard S. Grossman, P.A., we are a total resource for injured people. If you or a member of your family has an injury or an illness originating in the workplace, contact us for legal advice on your workers' compensation claim. We stand ready to maximize your benefits under the Florida workers' compensation system.
From our main office in Boca Raton and a satellite office in Clewiston, Florida, the workers compensation lawyers of Howard S. Grossman, P.A. serve injured workers in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Loxahatchee, Clewiston, Lantana, Stuart, Fort Pierce, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point.

Don't Forget the Memorandum of Settlement!
June 1, 2010 May 16, 2013 / usamwa
By: Michele Sales | Mediator, Arbitrator
A good mediator recommends that the parties draft and sign a Memorandum of Settlement at the conclusion of what appears to be a successful mediation. The Washington Supreme Court recently re-emphasized the need for such a writing in its decision of In re Disciplinary Proceeding of Bradley R. Marshall , 279 P.3d 291 (2009).
Part of the complaint against attorney Marshall involved whether a settlement had been reached at mediation1 by a King County Superior Court Judge. The court noted that "most, if not all, of those present believed some settlement was intended"2 , including the judge.3 However, two of the Plaintiffs decided that they did not want to settle. Shortly after the mediation, the Defendant's counsel sent a release and settlement agreement that those two Plaintiffs refused to sign. According to the charges and findings, Mr. Marshall then attempted to force those clients to proceed with the settlement against their wishes.
While the facts of the Marshall case are not ones we hear about on a regular basis, the issue of one party trying to renege on a settlement does raise its ugly head at times. It may occur because someone close to the party (spouse, parent, significant other) who did not attend the mediation and witness the reasons or basis for the settlement tells the party that settlement was a bad idea. Other times, it may simply be that a party changes his or her mind after thinking about the day's events over night. Worst of all, it may be that the party felt compelled by his attorney to agree to a settlement. Whatever the cause, it is worth revisiting the idea of signing a memorandum at the conclusion of mediation and what needs to be in that writing.
CR 2A states, "No agreement or consent between parties or attorneys in respect to the proceedings in a cause, the purport of which is disputed, will be regarded by the court…unless the evidence thereof shall be in writing and subscribed by the attorneys denying the same." In similar fashion, RCW 2.44.010 (1) states that an attorney has the authority to bind his client, but that the court shall disregard all agreements "unless such agreement … [is] signed by the party against whom the same is alleged, or his attorney."
Washington law has been clear since the early 1980's that standard contract law governs whether the parties have reached a settlement. Stottlemyre v. Reed , 35 Wn.App. 169, 665 P.2d 1383 (1983). It is interesting to note that although the agreement in Stottlemyre was only an oral agreement, the appellate court found that the attorney's written representation in an affidavit that a settlement was reached was sufficient to meet the "signed by the party…or his attorney" provision of the statute. Some might say that this ruling was appropriate because "the law favors the private settlement of disputes and is inclined to view them with finality".4 But counsel should not rely on such a creative interpretation of the Rule and statute and should make sure that a settlement document is created and signed.
Subsequent cases have flushed out the court's holding in Stottlemyre by clarifying that a party's subjective intent not to be bound until the execution of a final settlement agreement will not void an otherwise enforceable settlement agreement.5 However, the agreement must not have been reached by fraud, coercion or mistake.6
The signature of the party's attorney is not needed if the party has signed.7 Alternatively, Stottlemyre holds that an attorney's signature alone is adequate to bind the party assuming all other things are equal. In this instance, however, the practical effect is likely to be that the party fires his attorney and institutes a malpractice action.8
But the courts have said that the settlement memorandum must refer to all material terms, or there is a basis to challenge whether a settlement was reached. In Howard v. DiMaggio 70 Wn.App. 734, 855 P.2d 335 (1993), the appellate court found that attorneys simply agreeing on the settlement amount (cash plus repayment of the Plaintiff's PIP carrier) did not cover all material terms. The appellate court found that the Plaintiff had not agreed to sign a medical guaranty letter, had not agreed to "the details of the release and hold harmless documents", and had not agreed who would be the designated payees on the check. Thus, the alleged settlement agreement was not considered enforceable.
Similarly, in Lavigne v. Green 106 Wn.App. 12, 23 P.3rd 515 (2001), the parties attended a mediation at which they agreed on an amount of settlement. No writing was signed. Allegedly, the insurance adjuster at the mediation said there "were no additional terms or provisions or conditions on the settlement".9 However, a release was sent that included indemnification, hold harmless and full release language. The party seeking to avoid the agreement essentially conceded that his real disagreement was about the amount of the settlement, but because he raised a genuine issue of material fact on the other terms, the appellate court sent the matter back to the trial court for determination.10
My strong recommendation is to make sure a memorandum is signed when you believe you have reached a settlement. In a personal injury action, the memorandum should indicate the amount of settlement, that all claims will be released, that an indemnification and hold harmless as to subrogated interests will be signed along with a release, that the lawsuit (if any) will be dismissed with prejudice and without costs, and that the parties acknowledge that the agreement is binding and enforceable. Defense representatives may simply choose to bring a standardized settlement agreement and then later supplement it with a document that acknowledges receipt of the settlement check by the plaintiff.
In an employment case, the extent of the terms can be much more involved. While a mediator can assist in drafting a memorandum during or at the end of the mediation, a better practice is for defense counsel to provide a copy of a proposed settlement agreement to plaintiff's counsel prior to the mediation and then make changes as the mediation proceeds throughout the day. Not only are the non-monetary terms (ie, confidentiality, no re-hire, no application for rehire, no disparagement, etc.) outlined for the plaintiff's attorney clearly and concisely, but you have given the plaintiff plenty of opportunity to seek more information about the meaning of terms before signing.
While these suggestions provide no guarantee that your mediated settlement agreement will not be challenged, your client should be better protected by taking these affirmative steps in mediation.
The decision refers to the proceeding with Judge Heavey as a mediation in some places and as a settlement conference in others. Whichever correctly describes the proceeding, the use of a CR 2A document would have alleviated part of Mr. Marshall's problems.

text: Q: Bounded response variable [-1;1] - Should I transform it? I am planning to use two response variables. One is bounded between 0 and 1, and I guess I can use a binomial (or related) error structure. The second variable is bounded between -1 and 1. I am not sure what should I do for this one. Should I transform it? Please note that I plan to use these variables in mixed-effect modeling (see related post on mixed-effect modeling: Mixed-effect modeling with paired observations & bounded response variables). Any help very much appreciated.

Did you know that you may be eligible to pursue compensation for an overweight cargo truck accident? A New York overweight cargo truck accident attorney will help you navigate the justice system and get the compensation you deserve. Overweight cargo is an unfortunate risk and one that poses serious problems for passengers and drivers alike on the roads of the United States.
Overweight cargo could make it harder for a truck driver to control a vehicle, more likely for him or her to tip the vehicle or could lead to dangerous spills and hazardous problems if an accident occurs. The support from an overweight cargo truck accident lawyer in New York will be invaluable when pursuing an injury claim.
You deserve to have someone who has extensive experience in litigation and settlement opportunities. Most people do not realize the various types of compensation available to them in a serious trucking accident.
You might be tempted to take a settlement offer that is initially presented to you by the trucking company or the insurance company, but there is no guarantee this is in your best interests. This is the case unless you set aside time to talk directly with an experienced personal injury lawyer immediately. An overweight cargo truck accident attorney in New York will be able to help you figure out what your case looks like and how you should proceed in order to minimize your chances of making a mistake.
The injuries you may have sustained are likely to be severe, and without the support of a lawyer, you could expose yourself to problems in the case that may ultimately end in you not receiving the compensation that you deserve. With such high stakes involved in these types of cases, it is vital that you identify an attorney who cares as much as possible about your future. Many unique facets must be considered in truck accident cases because more than one party may be held liable.
For example, it may have been the person who loaded the cargo who is liable, but you may also have fault against the truck driver who should have known that the cargo was overweight and that this could lead to serious injuries. Since it is not exactly clear how your case will unfold without the support of an attorney, make sure you share your concerns about overweight cargo as soon as possible in that initial consultation. Your initial consultation is your opportunity to ask questions of your personal injury lawyer and to figure out how to proceed.
Your injury lawyer will likely begin by figuring out whether or not you are eligible to pursue an injury case and what that may look like if you choose to go forward. Your eligibility to pursue an injury case can be affected by a number of different factors, not the least of which is the New York statute of limitations. This is the official period of time in which you must file an accident claim in order to be legally allowed to fight for compensation. If you do not file a claim in a timely fashion, the courts can deny hearing your claim for compensation at all, and you may find yourself dealing with the consequences of a serious accident as a result. In any case in which you are concerned about your future, it is imperative that you find an attorney who will help you with all aspects of your injury claim.
Don't make the mistake of fighting back without a lawyer or you may lose out on some compensation owed to you in an accident.

Cesena, 13 February 2014 – Drillmec S.p.A., a TREVI Group company, specialized in the manufacturing of oil and water drilling rigs, has been awarded the supply of new onshore and offshore oil drilling rigs worth about 135 million USD from Aker Solutions, IDC Iraqi Drilling Company and Enel.
For Aker Solutions: Drillmec will provide a revolutionary new hydraulic technology HH-220 (Hydraulic Hoist) rig that will be installed on a fixed platform in the North Sea. The contract includes the engineering, study, development and manufacturing of a HH Drillmec rig specifically designed for offshore oil drilling. The supply of such rig required the study of specific solutions to improve the performance of drilling. The innovative design of this HH offshore rig, mostly compact in size and highly-performing, will ensure full execution of all crude oil extraction activities while significantly reducing operating costs for our customer. The HH model, already patented by the Drillmec division, will further increase the levels of safety within the offshore offering by supplying fully automated solutions of its hydraulic technology. The rig is being built at the manufacturing plant in Piacenza and will subsequently be installed on the platform in the second half of 2014.
For IDC Iraqi Drilling Company: Drillmec will provide three oil drilling rigs. The supply of these rigs is part of the strategic plan initiated in 2008 by the Government of Iraq to increase the extraction of oil and gas in order to expand the economy of the country. Drillmec will develop and manufacture conventional rigs equipped with the best solutions needed for the extraction and exploitation of onshore oil reserves. The rigs, of 2,000 and 3,000 HP, will be produced and tested at the manufacturing plant of Drillmec S.p.A. in Piacenza, and later transferred and installed in the region of Dammam in Saudi Arabia. The rigs will perform oil drilling activities up to 6,500 meters of depth both in vertical and horizontal directions.
For Enel: Drillmec will supply a HH-300 onshore rig for the execution of geothermal wells in Italy. The high capacity of Drillmec's rigs to drill to high depths will allow to reach the deepest layers of the earth where geothermal high thermal probes will be later installed for the exchange of heat and for the generation power.
The CEO of Drillmec, Simone Trevisani commented: "The acquisition of these new orders confirms the strong interest of Drillmec's products on the market. The introduction of the HH series on the offshore platform for Aker Solutions represents a major step forward in the strategy of the Oil & Gas division to expand the applications of its product range. The HH offshore series positions itself as a valid alternative on the offshore market. The delivery of additional rigs to Iraqi Drilling Company, our historical client in the Middle East, proves the reliability and excellent quality recognized to Drillmec's rigs. In Italy we will deliver to Enel a second rig specifically designed for the applications of geothermal energy that will ensure greater efficiency with the lowest environmental impact. We are pleased with the growth of the oil and gas sector and we remain convinced that the prospects in this area will lead to future developments for the Group".

The origin of "Shibetsu" is an Ainu language, meaning "where salmon is there", it is a city that was opened by fishery centered around salmon, long ago. In addition, the watershed of the Shibetsu river spreads the vast and fertile grounds brought by its mother river and forms the foundation for large dairy farming.

After we ate our way through Rome, it was time to catch a flight to Paris! We flew over the Alps (incredible!) and landed in an overcast, chilly Paris.
Paris, in the Fall, with your new husband?! It doesn't get much better than that! Paris was so beautiful and I was really surprised at how nice and helpful everyone was. It's the most enchanting city. I really wanted us to just drop everything, find a little apartment and I could become an artist and eat crepes everyday. So maybe I'm stereotyping a bit. But seriously, I already wear black almost daily.
It wouldn't be a big deal.

Watch: Chris Rock's Controversial Oscar's Opening Monologue [Full]
Published: Sunday 28th Feb 2016 by Rashad
Have you ever seen or heard something so controversial you kinda didn't know whether to laugh, clap, or get mad? Well, if you haven't, we're sure Chris Rock's opening monologue at the 88th Academy Awards will do the trick for you.
The 10 minute set, which saw the sharp-tongued comedian slice into topics of racism, #OscarsSoWhite, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and so much more, conquered every elephant (excuse the pun) in the room.
Sure to be the hottest topic circulating morning news tomorrow, get into Rock's blistering opening comments below (#ICYMI):
Watch: Sam Smith Marvels With 2016…
Watch: The Weeknd Wails 'Earned It'…
Queen Janet February 28, 2016
BULLSH*T….minority is not only Blacks…but Arabs, Asians and Hispanics too. 🙁
OMG Logic!!! February 29, 2016
They don't matter. African Americans are the only minority that ever matter.
Danyboo February 29, 2016
Arabs Asians and Hispanics werent taken from there homeland to be tortured and victimized to build up a country for no pay. Then when "Freed" never got reparated for their contributions but instead went through decades upon decades of limitations and hardships as members of a societ, ultimately never being able to rise as a race of people but still to this day second class citzens still having to work for corporations and companies built up off progress and hardships of their ancestors but still owned by whites. ✋✋✋ BYE FELICIA.
Truth Serum February 28, 2016
I love him but I disagree. Yeah right, because 13% of the population deserves to be nominated for every award.
Such a hopeless award. ????
HailBeysus February 28, 2016
What Massa gave him the whip to read this script at the Oscar's ????
BOBOY February 28, 2016
Who cares about Jada Pinkett ??? She just wants her husband to win it. That's all…
i.DIABETIC ORACLE February 28, 2016
I LAUGHED… he's a comedian… this has been a part oapart of his actct since he began hosting the VMAS. He should host every award show. What black person actually cares about offending white ppl? Being black means being offensive otherwise what's the point?
RASHAD February 29, 2016
I giggled alot too and it was MEANT to be uncomfortable as-well. My favorite part of his opening act was comparing Hollywood's racism towards "Elite/rich black people" is like a fraternity (Yes your'e a frat brother but your'e still not a Kappa… It's like yes your'e educated, wealthy or even wealthier than me, successful, talented but… You're still black so you will never be good enough!
So White people are just supposed to be okay with always being insulted because they're White? What kind of privilege…
Yes!!! And y'all will just have to deal!!! I hope when Latinos take over Murica in 2055 all white bastards like you are locked away in cages LMFAOOOO!!!
Cinnamon Girl February 28, 2016
Sighs. I'm black and I'm tired of this stupid controversy already
Cause you a happy house nicca.. b**** its alright to want change. You deserve it dumb dumb
I'll pray for you
This mf said he gone pray for me because mfs speaking up about inequality.. but if you do pray for me please dont pray to that God that your ancestors s**** master beat for them to conform to. You need to learn your history young and quit conforming to theirs. Black people come from greatness. We didnt start off uncivilized and no are demanding white people to be equal in "THEIR" country. Iys way more to it. So in the end ill pray for you and your self esteem youngin. Black King.
Tyler Makiavelli February 29, 2016
Nah, f*** that!
We r done settling for the crumbs that fall off of "masta's" table.
This is a new day!
Thando February 28, 2016
The best opening monologue in a long long time
yesterday was a difficult lie because it's you And you boy unpillow February 28, 2016
NICE!! Mad Max has won 6 Oscar's tonight so far YAY!!!!
JOHNVIDAL February 29, 2016
Film of the year. So glad Revenant didn´t win.
chesterhe February 28, 2016
I love Chris Rock so much. I've seen all his stand-up comedy specials multiple times. Unfortunately I didn't laugh once during this opening monologue. I thought he would have done something more unique than the expected. Boring!
YAY SAM SMITH WON!!!!!
The opening monologue was fine. It even had a few funny moments; however, the rest of the show he's been pushing the same damn point over and over and over. Like, we got it during your monologue Chris. Can you try to be funny instead reminding us that Black people weren't nominated nonstop?
Black people weren't nominated.
Why does pointing that FACT out make you uncomfortable?
Is it because it looks exactly how it sounds, racist!???
Look blame the industry or film makers for the lack of black people playing good roles, but not the Academy. There was literally no role played by a black actor that was better than any of the nominees this year. As simple as that. In fact, this years oscar nominations were some of the best in recent memory, even including some very deserving blockbusters which rarely make it to the final race.
Anne February 29, 2016
I agree. Chris also made that point during his monologue, it's not really about boycotting but moreso the need for more opportunities for good black actors, like Jamie Foxx.
Really February 29, 2016
I laughed the whole time Great job by Chris
