Recording reveals officer telling 911 dispatchers to ignore calls for help from dying man's family
Danielle Wiener-Bronner
Two years ago, Charles Sampson Sr., 58, died in police custody hours after cops pulled him over during a traffic stop.
The Imperial Valley Press reported at the time that officers stopped Sampson around 6 p.m. on December 3, 2013, in California's El Centro, and found a shotgun in his car. Sampson was reportedly on probation at the time, and his possession of the firearm was a violation, so the officer made an arrest. Before taking him to jail, however, police took Sampson to his home where they searched for drugs. During that time, Sampson became very ill.
Family members who were there at the time described the scene to the Press. His sister-in-law, Denise Scott, said "he was walking and falling and shaking and his son walked up to him and said 'Dad, you OK?' and he said, 'I'm just cold." Scott could tell something was seriously wrong, and urged the cops to call a paramedic. The IV Press reported that Scott, who had worked as a police dispatcher before, eventually called 911 herself, and was hung up on twice.
Sampson's wife, Laverne, told the IV Press she knew her husband was in danger, but that the arresting officers told her he was faking the symptoms. She said they told her that "He's scared. He knows he's in trouble. He's putting on a show for his family." Scott said Sampson's family had tried to get him help for two hours. Officers did not find drugs in the house.
Police gave the Press a less harrowing version of the story:
El Centro police said that after the compliance check was completed at Charles' home, they took him to the Police Department to complete the booking process, and there, they saw he had difficulty walking and took him to ECRMC. Charles arrived at the hospital unresponsive. ECRMC is just under two miles from the family's home.
The Coroner's report for Sampson, posted online by the IV Press describes Sampson's symptoms as captured by the police car's dash cam:
At approximately 1850 hours, the decedent can be seen placing an object in his mouth and beginning to chew and swallow. This was not witness by an officer, but can be seen on the mobile audio video system (MAV) within Officer Thompson's patrol vehicle. From that point on, the decedent can be seen beginning to sweat, his cheeks become glossy, his eyes begin to change…. As time passed by you could see the decedent's facial expressions and facial features change to what appeared to be that of being in pain and under the influence of a controlled substance.
The report rules the death an accidental one.
This week, the family's lawyers have put a video up which shows the arrest and the moment the doctor told members of Sampson's family he had died. In a statement posted to the video page on YouTube, they wrote, "This footage is taken from the body and dash cameras of the El Centro Police Department," adding:
On December 3, 2013 Charlie's wellbeing was ignored by the El Centro Officers shown in this footage. Alarmed at his demeanor, Charlie's family called 911 for a paramedic; however, the families' request was called off by an El Centro Police Officer. Charlie died later that night due to the Officers' failure to summon medical care.
The footage is horrifying:
The video reveals Sampson apparently taking a methamphetamine pill, which killed him (the AP reports Sampson died of methamphetamine intoxication). The video also shows an officer telling a 911 dispatcher to ignore calls for help from the Sampson household. "The guy we're out with right now is putting on somewhat of a show," he said.
The AP reports that Sampson's family is now suing the officers, the police and the city for death and wrongful death.

You may see the 0xE4020045 error code in OneNote 2016 or 2013 after clicking a yellow Info Bar that appears when a locally stored notebook was dragged (or otherwise added) to OneDrive for the purpose of backing it up, syncing it, or sharing it. While this may give the appearance that the notebook is now a cloud-based notebook, OneNote will continue to treat it as a locally stored notebook unless the notebook is properly moved to OneDrive.
Exit OneNote, if it is still running.
On your computer's hard drive, navigate to the folder in which the affected notebook is stored.
Tip: Typically, the default location for locally stored OneNote for Windows notebook folders is C:\Users\<username>\Documents\OneNote Notebooks.
Copy the folder with the same name as the affected notebook to the root folder of your main hard drive.
Doing this effectively removes the copy of the notebook out of OneDrive's sync scope.
In Windows File Explorer, click This PC, double-click to open the hard drive root location to which you just copied the notebook in the previous step, and then double-click the folder with the name of the copied notebook.
In the copied notebook folder, double-click the Open Notebook.onetoc2 file.
If this file is not present, double-click any other available *.onetoc2 file in this folder.
When OneNote 2016 for Windows opens, the notes from the copied notebook folder should now be displayed properly.
To prevent this issue from happening again, we strongly recommend that you follow the required procedure for properly moving the original affected notebook to your OneDrive account, which will convert it from a locally stored notebook to a true cloud-based notebook. Your cloud-based notes will still be private, but you'll enjoy more reliable syncing and you'll be able to access your notes from any mobile device or any Web browser that you use.
For more information, see Move a OneNote for Windows notebook to OneDrive. The instructions in this article also apply if you're using older versions of OneNote for Windows, such as OneNote 2013 or 2010.

Is There Anything We Can Do To Stop The Chinese Onslaught?
There is not a lot we can do with regards to how governments of countries act. Even with the American government, yes we can complain and protest but there are no guarantees that anything favorable will come of it. The only guaranteed answer to reducing the trade deficit and increasing American manufacturing jobs is, as a people, to start buying products made in the USA.


Is there a risk of liver toxicity with certain supplements?
As discussed below, a wide variety of dietary supplements may cause damage to the liver. Use the links to get detailed information about each.
Supplements containing green tea extract are the subject of many reports of liver toxicity. Several cases of liver toxicity have also association with green tea "infusions." There is only one reported case of liver toxicity from drinking brewed green tea.
A number of reports suggest kava, often taken for anxiety or insomnia, may cause liver damage. Occasionally, liver damage has been reported even with normal doses. For this reason, some countries have banned the sale of kava - although it is still available in the U.S.
Three cases of acute hepatitis have been reported with the use of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) supplements - which are used for slimming.
Several cases of liver failure, one of which required a liver transplant, have been linked with drinking noni, although it was not conclusively determined that noni was the cause.
Like prescription statins, red yeast rice (which naturally contains lovastatin) can alter liver function.
There are several reports of black cohosh causing liver injury or autoimmune hepatitis, however it's not clear whether it these were due to the black cohosh itself, or a contaminant in the product. Similarly, cases of liver injury have been reported with other herbs such as valerian and skullcap, although it's possible they were contaminated with germander, another herb known to be toxic to the liver.
Be aware that comfrey, which is known to be toxic to the liver when taken orally, can also be absorbed through the skin. This is important to know since comfrey is sometimes used in preparations on the skin to treat pain or swelling (see the Encyclopedia about comfrey for more information).
Butterbur, an herb that may be helpful for migraines and seasonal allergies, contains liver-toxic compounds. Although these compounds are typically removed from butterbur products, a small amount may remain. Therefore, to be safe, people with severe liver disease should avoid this herb.
Also be aware that the FDA has found a number of supplements, often promoted for muscle enhancement (such as Tri-Methyl Xtreme and Mass Destruction) to contain undeclared steroids, which can cause liver damage. (See the Warnings section for more).
On a positive note, some evidence suggests milk thistle extract may help protect the liver from certain toxins -- although be aware that milk thistle which is not properly produced can contain toxins which are potentially harmful to the liver.
See the Encyclopedia articles about Liver Disease and Liver Cirrhosis for more information. Also see the LivTox database from the National Institutes of Health for more information about herbs and supplements which may cause liver damage.
Year and a half of ago I went to the doctor, had the usual blood tests and found my numbers were above normal for my liver - everything else was fine. Year later had another blood test and my liver numbers were a little worse than the year before. What could be causing this? Did a little research and came across an article on energy drinks and the effect on the liver. I was in the habit of taking one of those 5-hour energy shots about 3-4 times a week. Went cold turkey off the energy drinks for 4 months. Went in for another blood test just for the liver - my numbers were PERFECT! Warning to anyone out there about energy drinks.
I have wondered about taking a bunch of supposedly helpful supplements together and how they affect each other in digestive state. Sometimes I feel sick after downing all of my morning "pills." Can the supplements affect each other in your gut?
Hi Wesley - Please see the CL Answer about which vitamins/supplements should be taken together and/or separately: https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/_/how-to-take-vitamins/. Please also see the "What to Consider When Using" and "Concerns and Cautions" sections our individual reviews of supplements you may be taking for potential side-effects and tips for taking.
Another reminder that even though supplements can be helpful they also need to be taken with caution. Some health magazines promote so many supplements I wonder about toxicity for some taking too many or too high dosages.
It's been a long time since at looked at the Kava toxicity, but my understanding was that it was seen in folks who already had liver issues (alcoholism, hepatitis, obesity-related fatty liver disease), and not cases in persons with healthy liver status. Your thoughts?
Hi Dorene - There are case reports of liver toxicity in people taking kava without a history of liver disease or other risk factors, as noted in the "Safety Issues" section of the Encyclopedia article about kava (https://www.consumerlab.com/tnp.asp?chunkiid=21785) -- please see this section for more information.
Thank you. I guess it was that one review that found all but one of 26 alleged cases were not attributable that had stuck in my mind. I'll review all your citations, once again thanks!

Q: Display to output port in a recursive procedure - Scheme I am learning Scheme and want to write a recursive procedure which output to the console in each run level:
(define (dummy count)
    (if (= 0 count)
        (runtime)
        ((display "test" console-i/o-port) (dummy (- count 1)))))

And then test with:
(dummy 10)

But it appears that only the output of the last procedure called will be printed out.
What should I do to make it happen? Thanks. (I am using Mit-scheme)

A: ((display "test" console-i/o-port) (dummy (- count 1)))

This is a function call where (display "test" console-i/o-port) is the function that's supposed to be called and (dummy (- count 1)) is the argument to that function. Since `(display "test" console-i/o-port) does not actually return a function, this will cause an error (after printing test).
To do what you actually want to do (first execute (display ...) and then execute (dummy ...)), you can use the begin form like this:
(begin (display "test" console-i/o-port) (dummy (- count 1)))

A: If what you want to do is displaying "test" count number of times (10 in the example) you can do something like this (assuming that count is positive):
(define (dummy count)
  (if (> count 0)
      (begin
        (display "test" console-i/o-port)
        (dummy (- count 1)))))

Reading Series Census: Halfway There
By Ian MacAllen on Monday, March 7th, 2016 at 9:04 am
The New York City Reading Series Census is an ongoing project to catalogue the contemporary literary scene. Any reading series curator in the New York area can take the survey here.
What is the name of the series, and what is the significance or meaning of the series name?
Halfway There: a reading series in Montclair. The phrase "halfway there" is lifted right from the Bon Jovi anthem "Livin' On a Prayer." We are a New Jersey series and wanted something that reflected Jersey. Since we are a series that supports the emerging author, the term "halfway there" has extra significance.
Who founded the series, and who runs it now?
Nicole Haroutunian and Apryl Lee, fiction writers who met in the Sarah Lawrence MFA program. We're both NJ-natives and Apryl lives in the Montclair area.
What genres or mediums does the series include?
Fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.
What is the format of the series?
We start with an hour to mingle, drink coffee and browse books provided by Watchung Booksellers. Then our 3-4 readers read, followed by an audience Q&A.
Where does the series take place?
At the Red Eye Cafe in Montclair, NJ.
When and how often is the series performed (and is it seasonal)?
Quarterly — September, December, March, June.
How long has the series been active?
Our inaugural event was this September 14th!
Where can people find information about series on the web?
www.halfwaytheremontclair.com, www.facebook.com/halfwaytheremontclair, Twitter and Instagram.
Do you take submissions, solicit material, or a combination?
Mainly solicitation. We also open a submission period for a pop-up event in April.
Did you set out with specific goals when the series was launched and have they changed over time?
Our goal is to host a literary series that brings together established and emerging voices, as well as local and visiting writers.
What distinguishes the series from others?
There are not many places in the northern New Jersey region that host a regular reading series of this sort, one which features fiction, nonfiction and poetry and that brings together emerging and established authors. We had a feeling that New Jersey needed a literary series like this, and the community's enthusiasm proves that we were right!
The next Halfway There is scheduled for Monday, March 14, 2016 at Red Eye Cafe in Montclair and features Keene, Brenda Shaughnessy, and Boris Tsessarsky.

McLaren 570GT first drive: A broader market for McLaren
Sure, it costs 200 grand, but that's less than 250, isn't it?
Mark Vaughn
Behold, the entry level McLaren, the 570 GT. Not only is it stickered at right around 200 grand, it is set up to be the most comfortable daily driver-like car the company's ever made, with quieter tires, a little room for luggage and a pop-open glass hatch in back. But it still drives like a supercar.
McLaren wants to "broaden the appeal" of its cars, so it is making many variations of its superb two-seater super sports car formula. The most recent manifestation of this democratization of the brand is the 570GT. First of all, it's the least expensive McLaren at a bargain basement (ha!) $201,450. Then, numerous refinements make it the most comfortable model in the line to drive.
The GT in the name stands for Gran Turismo (which does not refer to the video game). As you'll recall from high school Italian class, Gran Turismo is Italian for "cruising comfortably while looking oh-so-cool doing it." It probably also means "…with more luggage space." The basic carbon fiber tub from the Super Series 650S and 675LT has been slightly modified in this car, with a lower doorsill height for easier ingress and egress. From the B-pillars rearward, the aluminum body of the 570GT is all new, with less-pronounced fender rises and a slightly taller rear wing.
The most noticeable feature of that new back half is the new glass hatch, which looks like it was plucked off an E-Type Jag. It swings up on side hinges, opening either left or right, depending on whether your McLaren is left- or right-hand drive (it always opens to the sidewalk side of the parked car). Underneath the hatch is 7.8 cubic feet of luggage space, a little more than the 570S, 675LT, and all the other variations on this very fast theme. The rear-hatch storage space of our 570GT test car came with leather tie-down straps to hold a picnic basket in place during cornering. Maybe you could get a garmet bag back there. But don't plan on going golfing ... not that you golf. Room in the front trunk remains 5.3 cubic feet. Above the two occupants is a permanent panoramic roof with 18 percent tint. There are even soft-close door latches that gently pull the doors in on their last couple degrees of travel.
The powertrain is unchanged from its siblings: the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 still sends 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a seven-speed paddle-shifted dual-clutch transmission that McLaren calls an SSG, for Sequential Shift Gearbox. With a wet curb weight of 3,198 pounds, it's all good for a 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph. Crikey.
The comfort changes between this and the 570S include: a steering ratio reduced by 2 percent, spring rates reduced 15 percent in front and 10 percent rear; and Pirelli P Zero PSNC (Pirelli Noise Cancelling) tires that combine with wheel-well insulation and a few other touring tweaks to make the 570GT quieter underway.
What's it like to drive?
We drove the 570GT on the twisting mountain roads that snake up the sides of the island of Tenerife, a spigot of dried lava poking 12,000 feet out of the Atlantic Ocean 300 miles west of Africa. New pavement on the road made the ride smooth and the grip superb. We set the 570GT to track mode (quicker shifts, faster throttle response and a more lax ESC) and began picking off and passing the scads of low-budget VW Golfs and Seat Ibizas rented by the world's slowest and most oblivious tourists. It became like a video game: Target acquired? Fire! And the paddle-shifted seven-speed transmission went down a couple gears, the engine roared a muffled roar and pzow, we were by.
The feel behind the wheel is not unlike that of the slightly sportier 570S, and buyers seeking that car's handling will not be disappointed. We may be partial to the even-better-handling Super Series 650S or 675LT, with their more responsive suspension setups, but the McLaren family genetics are unmistakable. The best thing about this and any other "Sports" or "Super Series" McLaren is the electrically assisted hydraulic steering, which feels better-connected to the road than just about anything we've ever driven. The steering alone would be worth the price of admission, but the linear and smooth power from the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8, coupled with the quick-shifting seven-speed are right up there, too. It's an engineering marvel that makes you glad to be alive in this age of technological progress, before robotic, autonomous drone cars designed by fun-sucking insurance companies ruin our lives.
A couple things did stand in the way of a full two-thumbs up rating, though: First, you have to really want that panoramic roof. Maybe you like the sunshine. Many buyers do. For us, and maybe we're weird, it became a bit oppressive, a solar-science experiment of greenhouse gain after only a short while under the hot Atlantic sun. There are buyers who love those things and they will be happy as fried clams under this one, but AW staff opinion, as well as general opinion on glass roofs, is mixed. The previous Porsche glass-top Targa was less oppressive, for instance. The fact that there's no shade that can be pulled over it (even an Audi A3 has a shade, fer goodness sake) means you have to want sun the whole time you drive. We'd probably drive it at night. Second, the power-adjustable seats do the job for most human bodies but, as with other McLarens, we kept wanting more recline and seat tilt than offered here. But that's the same with the other McLaren models in this family, and only a minor whine.
Do I want it?
Is it as satisfying behind the wheel as other "Sports Series" McLarens? Yes, if in a slightly more civilized manner. The 570GT is an attempt to make the Sports Series more useful and less brutal, though those differences are barely incremental. Even the 650S and 675LT aren't beating you up. If we were to buy one, we'd get the 650S, but that costs a lot more.
Would we pick those McLarens over the Ferrari 488GTB? Tough choice, that. How about a Porsche 911? You could get any one of those for less than the sticker price of the 570GT. Even the 911 GT3 RS is only a shade over $175,000 and the 911 R is ten grand more than that. The 911 Turbo S is the closest match and still costs about $20,000 less. Not that anyone in this corner of the market is looking to save money. Maybe we'd go with the McLaren. Unless we were to buy all three.
Yes, that'd be the best solution. Buy all three. Then call us and we'll go for a drive.

How to explain this wedding? Have you heard about receiving gifts from life? I'm sure was one of the best moments we have ever experienced. Jorge is Spanish and met Laura eight years ago. The wedding had to be intense and full of energy like this couple are. After all, this is the greatest legacy that Laura's mother is letting her. And it would be unfair if the two families had not a memorable time together :-D. Special thanks to Kim (Laura's mother) who received us (and everybody) so well.

I'm so happy to have worked with AJ. She was thorough and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond, highlighting a couple of small plot holes missed in the copy edit, and with helping me format my book for printing! I was so grateful for her patience!
AJ's work helped me produce my best work so far. I was constantly challenged by her to improve my manuscript, and her hard work and experience made me rise to the challenge. I agreed with ninety nine percent of her assessment. I feel it's much better now. I look forward to working with her on a sequel.
To my editor Annie Collins who tirelessly collated and structured the book that started off as a collection of stories, thoughts and reminiscences after my second divorce. Thank you for your empathy, advice, patience and the respectful manner in which you have edited the stories that make up my life.
For a writer's debut novel, the process can be quite harrowing. In my case, I handed my first manuscript of historical fiction to Annie with fear and trepidation, not sure what to expect. She performed the line edit with care and consideration for the story. Her eye for detail was outstanding and her focus on showing me how and where improvements could be made was invaluable. I learnt such a lot from her and the experience was fantastic.
We worked with AJ for the editing of our novella Josephine, we could not have done it without her. She produced a work of an exceptional standard. Her approach, from the start to the end, was professional, patient and friendly. We were delighted with the results.
I am so pleased, it was absolutely worth the wait to have you complete this for me. Amazing work – thank you. Looks like I will be rewriting some of it and removing some unnecessary characters. I also agree with the YA point of view – so will amend and head down this path. Thanks again. I'm sure I will back to you with questions.
Many thanks for a most professional report. I realise now the excessive length of my MS and hence I can see how large the task was for you. I'd like to work further with you if you have the time.
Project: What Are Giraffes For?
I want to thank you for the massive editing job you have done for me … I'm amazed at your attention to detail, even to where I have repeated myself poles apart. Thank you for your many insightful comments, both positive and negative. I have learnt much.
Thanks for the very detailed notes. They have given me a lot to think about … Many thanks again for your suggestions which have worked quite well.
Thank you for taking great care of my manuscript. I feel very lucky to have the privilege of working with you. I honestly can't express how grateful I am to you for taking the time to edit my manuscript, and go beyond my expectations. You are very kind and your effort and devotion to your job is admirable.
I have only praise for AJ's assessment of my debut Novel. Her deliverance of the report was very thorough and had very clear suggestions and direction. This was delivered respectfully so as not to deflate but to encourage the author to excel.


The home is everything we imagined and more. People who come by are impressed. We love living in the home, in Lincoln and Christchurch. We feel like we have achieved everything we imagined for ourselves.
Thank you for always going above and beyond expectations, and for answering every question we had. You truely were the glue of the operation.


Pet Teepees: Bohemian Dog & Cat Teepee Tents from P.L.A.Y.
My only mistake was buying one!!
The minute I put the teepee in the living room, my beagle and yorkie have been fighting for property rights! They love it! They both fit in it but of course prefer living alone!! It is great quality and I highly recommend!
I loved the ease of putting the teepee together. The minute it was up my three cats were checking it out. I love that the cushion cover can be washed. Love the fabric and pattern. Would definitely buy again.
This teepee is well constructed and attractive.
There is no chemical odor and it washes beautifully.
The soft, thick fleece cushion inside and surrounding crafty denim keeps out drafts and provides a comfortable haven for my cats.
My 2 cats (a 14 pound Lynx Pointe Siamese and an 8 pound Ocelot Tabby) love it and take turns sleeping in it.
As soon as I received the teepee and set it up,they went in it without hesitation.
There are others on the market however, they are more decorative than functional.
I am impressed with P.L.A.Y.
As soon as I assembled the tee-pee my cats went in to check it out. They seem very content taking cat naps in it. I love how the inner pad has a removable/washable cover. The materials are all very high quality. The tee-pee is a unique fixture in our living room that is a great conversation starter. We are very happy to have added this to our home--I think it will last for many years to come.
I really enjoy the comfort and privacy of my teepee. It is sturdy, attractive, and well-made. It smells neutral and nice, which is important for cat things, so I can leave my own subtle cat scent in it. The cushion is just right!
The teepee is so cute and very aesthetically pleasing. I purchased two. I bought the first one from Gilt and then they ran out so I ordered the second one play. The mat inside the teepee is very comfortable and my dogs now love their new beds. The only reason for taking away one star is durability. The teepee needs extra support at the bottom. I have to rearrange the poses every couple of days as the teepee starts to come undone.
Buying a tent for your pup says my pups are not wanting for anything....and they are not. They love the tent. It's a well made great product.
I don't know who loves this teepee more my dog or me. I love the look of it and it is so easy to set up and to break it down if you want to bring it with you or store it. My 15lb dog fits in it and has plenty of room. He use to sleep with us on the bed but now every morning I find him in his teepee, he loves it so much.
I bought 2 of the Classic Teepees for our cats. Really cute!! Easy to assemble. Light weight if you want to move it. They look just as great as our grandchildren's teepees but smaller size. The interior cushion is super comfy for the kitties. These teepees will be getting a lot of use in our house. We have been happy with all the P.L.A.Y. Cat products we have purchased. They are a favorite company of ours.

Moscow but Dreaming by Ekaterina Sedia
The cover of the short story collection, Moscow but Dreaming caught my eye. I'd never heard of the author Ekaterina Sedia before, but since I have a fondness for most things Russian (Ekaterina was born and raised in Moscow but now lives in New Jersey), I decided to read the book–and this in spite of the fact that I wasn't sure that the collection was my sort of thing at all. I admit that I didn't care for the first story, but by the time I got to the next one, I was hooked into reading this beguiling, eclectic mix. History, fantasy, science fiction, and even the macabre, yes it's all here from the talented and multi-track mind of this young Russian author whose work, peppered with elements of folklore and the supernatural stretches genre boundaries in a China Mieville/Neil Gaiman sort of way. Here's her website, and just the design alone should give you a hint of this author's work.
One of my favourite stories is Citizen Komarova Finds Love and concerns the displaced, impoverished Countess Komarova, who following the upheaval of the Russian Revolution, finds herself displaced from her family's ruined mansion and working in a shop in the town of N.
The owner of the shop, a man as old as he was ornery, let her rent the room above the shop, where the wind howled under the roof thatched with a ragtag team of tiles and shingles. There was a small and round metal stove, known colloquially as 'bourgeoisie,' as indiscriminate and insatiable as its namesake: it burned books, pianos, furniture, twigs and entire palmate fir branches, crackling birch logs. It gave back cherry-red heat that spread in waves through the room over the shop, and broke over the stained walls, much like the distant Mediterranean over its rock shores.
Countess Komorova, now plain citizen Komarova, spends a great deal of time on her memories–in particular, a childhood holiday spent in the Mediterranean. The bleak winter days of the Revolution continue, and "whatever nobility survived" gravitate to the shop, and hoping to gain a few coins, they drag their bedraggled finery with them. Naturally there's not much of a market, and the goods pile up waiting for the buyers who never come. Since the shop is run on consignment, there's not much to lose.
The rest of January passed in the sparse slow sifting of snow from the clouds, grey and heavy like quicksilver. The stock of the consignment shop increased: every dress and fur coat and petticoat and necklace, every ring and feathered hat had made its way there, as the former nobility grew hungrier and less optimistic about the possible return of the old order of things. The corners were now filled with rustling of lace and slow undulations of peacock feathers, their unblinking green and azure eyes nodding in the drafts. Countess Komorova, who in her entire lifetime never experienced such luxury, stroked the ermine muffs and guarded them jealously from marauding moths.
But then one day, in comes a different sort of customer, a Red cavalryman who brings in four horseshoes. He returns several times and with each visit, the items he brings are stranger than the ones before….
Another favourite is Tin Cans, a story told by an elderly night watchman who considers himself lucky to get a job at the Tunisian embassy, once the house of Beria. This is a ghost story, but even so there's a marvelous quote about Brighton Beach–a place the old man has visited:
I don't know why anyone would voluntarily live in Brighton Beach, that sad and gray throwback to the provincial towns of the USSR in the seventies, fringed by the dirty hem of a particularly desperate ocean. The irony is of course that every time you're running from something, it follows you around, like the tin can tied to a dog's shaggy tail. Those Brooklyn inhabitants, they brought everything they hated with them.
The narrator, who's one step from extreme poverty, feels lucky to get the job, but the nights in the embassy halls bring no peace, and instead the night watchman glimpses ugly scenes of Russian history.
But all the stories are not concerned with Russian history. One story Hector Meets the King presents a different version of the Hector of the Iliad. In One, Two Three, set in America a desperate childless couple adopt a "malevolent house spirit," a Kikimora, and in There's a Monster Under Helen's Bed, an American couple adopt a very damaged Russian child. The latter, is, of course, rather topical thanks to Putin's recent decision to ban the adoption of Russian children to America.
Another story I really liked was Yakov and the Crows, a story about an office worker who befriends crows that visit the workplace looking for food, and there's also Chapaev and the Coconut Girl–a story about a young Russian woman working in America who having developed AI cockroaches in her lab, works on developing an AI Chapaev, a man she "worships." The Bank of Burkina Faso concerns the deposed Prince of Burundi who now lives in a Moscow apartment scheming of ways to collect his millions which are in the elusive Bank of Burkina Faso. I thought this was going to morph into a con-artist story, but instead this became a story of collective dreaming. Anyway, this has to be the imaginative short story collection I've come across in some time, and that makes it difficult to put into any sort of neat, descriptive box. The introduction by author Jeffrey Ford mentions the description Magical Realism, at the same time noting that this is a "weak term" when applied to Sedia's work. Magical Realism, IMO opinion, fits well with Spanish literature, but with Russian literature, we're looking at something much more nebulous–something that sits uneasily on the fringes of evil–the dark and treacherous space between how we live and what we endure.

The Ladies from St Petersburg by Nina Berberova
I recently searched the internet for information about Russian Silver Age authors, and this led me to the topic of Russian emigre literature. I read a few articles that stated that while Nabokov is considered the greatest Russian emigre writer, Nina Berberova is also one of the greats. Last year, I'd read Berberova's The Accompanist which I liked but didn't love, and so I decided it was time to read another Berberova. This time I reached for The Ladies From St Petersburg which is actually three stories combined together under one title.
The Ladies from St Petersburg is published by New Directions and translated by Marian Schwartz. Schwartz is the Berberova translator, and by that I mean that Marian Schwartz has translated a number of Berberova novels (The Accompanist, Billancourt Tales, The Cape of Storms, The Book of Happiness, The Tattered Cloak and Other Stories) , and after reading the foreword (also by Schwartz) it's clear that the two women–writer and translator–had quite a relationship.
Berberova was born in 1901, emigrated in 1922 and died in 1993, a professor emeritus at Princeton University. According to Schwartz, Berberova is the "classic neglected writer" and she defines that by this description: "despite her literary excellence, readers and critics overlooked her, mostly due to circumstances beyond her control (revolution, war, social prejudice)." Just reading Schwartz's foreword is enough to make any sensitive reader intensely curious to read the work of Berberova.
The first story, The Ladies From St Petersburg gives the book its title. Although there are no dates given, there are clues that it's 1917. Middle-aged Varvara Ivanovna and her daughter Margarita have travelled from St Petersburg by train for a long-arranged holiday in the country at a genteel boarding house owned by Dr. Byrdin. To the other houseguests cut off from the news of events taking place in the cities, the new arrivals represent a chance to get updates about the unrest. No one yet grasps the magnitude of the events taking place, and while the guests feel uneasy at the news of shootings, uprisings, and shortages, Dr Byrdin downplays the idea of a revolution:
"I assure you that all this revolution business will fizzle out very quickly. We here are all agreed that the Bolsheviks have no chance whatsoever of success."
But it's through tragedy that the radical change taking place in Russia becomes glaringly apparent when Byrdin accompanies Margarita to negotiate with a peasant for his services. This chilling story then records, with deceptive simplicity, the startling social encounters Margarita and Dr. Byrdin endure on their brief journey outside of the cocoon of the boarding house . But again, although shocked, neither Margarita nor Doctor Byrdin really absorb the enormity of what is taking place:
"How crude people have become," Margarita said pensively.
And the doctor reassures her:
"Not for long. Everything will fall back into place again."
And then seven years later Margarita returns to the area and witnesses exactly how "everything" has fallen "back into place again."
In the second story, it's December 1917 and Zoya Andreyevna arrives by train in Rostov. She has been evacuated from Kharkov due to the threat of the Bolshevik onslaught. A few years earlier Zoya left a husband she no longer loved and defied societal standards of behaviour by living openly with her lover. The lover, a soldier with the White Army, has remained behind in Kharkov with his regiment to fight the Bolsheviks. Zoya is waiting in Rostov for her lover to arrive.
In The Ladies From St Petersburg, Dr. Byrdin and their guests had no idea that life as they knew it was about to be swept away, and in Zoya Andreyevna, Zoya is just part of a vast wave of people who've suddenly, unknowingly become refugees:
"People surged by in herds, the majority of them strangers to this large provincial town. The refugees, who had seen epidemics, devastation, and war at close hand, filled the town with horror and despair. They too surged by, these people, from northwest to southeast–from Kiev, Kharkov, and Poltava, through this cold and dusty town to the overflowing districts of Ekaterinodar and typhus-ridden Novorossiisk, only to turn back westward later, but this time to the shores of the devastated Crimea, where they entrusted their nomadic lives to small vessels that hurled wrenching but futile SOS's into the dark expanses of the Black Sea."
Zoya, whose clothes indicate she's a member of the privileged classes, takes a room in a shabby boarding house while she waits for the lover who will probably never arrive. The house is owned by Maria Petronova, and other residents include her sister Anna, a male student and a woman called Tamara. While the student is largely oblivious to Zoya's presence, the women in the boarding house resent her and begin to spy on her every move. As the days pass, mild teasing of Zoya turns into spiteful resentment, and the atmosphere in the house grows increasingly hostile. Anna and Maria feel begin to feel emboldened:
"in the general displacement, the universal alarm, the time had come for them, too, to live and act. Just as everyone around them was filled with anticipation of the end, so they had begun to anticipate. Something told them that there were not two or three or four of them but no end to the people, no counting them–whether they had a needle or a slotted spoon in hand–gripped by the general hatred and vindictiveness."
The third story The Big City is much more elusive. It's post WWII, a nameless Russian emigre with an unknown past arrives in an unidentified American city (a thinly disguised New York). We are told nothing of the man's history except that he's left a lover behind in Europe, and now like a piece of flotsam and jetsam, he arrives in America and after renting a room in a high rise building, he once more begins a new life.
In The Big City Berberova very cleverly strips her character of details of his past, and she offers us a glimpse at exactly what it is like to arrive in America for the optimistic term 'the fresh start." Of course the man, who once fled Russia to Europe, and now fled Europe to America has a very convoluted past, probably full of tragedy, but washed up in America, he is just another refugee: lonely, desperate and forced to begin again. Arriving with just the clothes on his back and perhaps a battered suitcase, the man's fragmented experience of the past is invisible. In this story Berberova perfectly captures the levelling of the refugee experience.
The brilliant selection of these particular stories combined under one cover can be no accident, for we see the stages range of the revolution through a handful of characters. The Ladies From St Petersburg offers a brief, painful view of a society on the brink of destruction. In Zoya Andreyevna, Russian society is in freefall. Maria, Anna, and Tamara form a vicious pack against a woman they view as their class enemy, and their behaviour is an eerie prototype of Stalin's purges. In The Big City, the lack of indentifying markers of this main character serve only to poignantly underscore the refugee's anonymity. There are no longer concerns about where to bury a relative or how to keep a few personal possessions, the tattered remnants of a former life. But the absence of identification is perhaps also symbolic of the erasure of Russian culture. Instead there are memories. Just memories and survival, and that is all.
"I am in the centre of a thousand possibilities, and a thousand responsibilities, and a thousand unknowns. The horrors and misfortunes of my age have helped me, the Revolution liberated me, exile tempered me, World War Two pushed me into another dimension"
–from The Italics Are Mine, Nina Berberova's autobiography

Anti-apartheid activist Winnie Mandela dies
Anando Mostofa
Published at 04:02 pm April 2nd, 2018
Anti-apartheid activist Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, wife to Nelson Mandela during his decades of imprisonment, died on Monday, a family spokesman said. She was 81.
Madikizela-Mandela died peacefully surrounded by her family following a long illness that had kept her in and out of hospital since the start of the year, Victor Dlamini said in a statement.
"She fought valiantly against the apartheid state and sacrificed her life for the freedom of the country," the statement said.
"She kept the memory of her imprisoned husband Nelson Mandela alive during his years on Robben Island and helped give the struggle for justice in South Africa one its most recognisable faces."
Madikizela-Mandela was jailed several times for her part in the fight against white-minority rule and she campaigned for the release of her husband at home and abroad.
But her marriage to Mandela began to fall apart in the years after he was released from prison in 1990. The couple divorced in 1996, nearly four decades after they were married. They had two children together.

HD Web Provider targets both the start up, small business and enterprise users for their shared, reselling and dedicated server solutions. Their target is to provide an easy to use hosting system that gives you a lot of assistance in creating your own site.
Shared web hosting packages start at $6.50 per month for a year, which comes with unlimited storage and unmetered bandwidth. A cPanel Control Panel is included in this package, along with Fantastico Delux and SiteBuilder.
Reseller packages start at $14.95 per month for the 15 GB Raid-10 protected storage, 140 GB bandwidth and 24/7 dedicated reseller support team.
The dedicated servers start at $185 for the 1 TB storage, 2 GB memory, 5 IP's on a Core2Quad Q9300 machine.
What's Great About HD Web Provider?
HD Web Provider has a really good track record in terms of providing proper network speed and good uptime record. Most other companies oversell their storage and capacity but HD Web Provider is careful not to risk their good reputation by overselling their machines. So far, they've been providing rock solid connection since day 1.
HD Web Provider offers an automatic 20% discount for transactions done from their websites. This is a permanent offer and beats most online coupons that you occasionally see in other web sites out there.
HD Web Provider covers a lot of ground in terms of their support team. They have regional support teams that make it easier for clients to get issues attended to. They have satellite customer service staff scattered across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean area and the US.
HD Web Provider is very proud of their extensive client list, currently amounting to nearly 20,000 clients spread across 120 countries. This gives you the assurance that a lot of people have previously entrusted HD Web Provider with their hosting needs.
What's Disappointing About HD Web Provider?
No hosting company is perfect. For HD Web Provider, they can still improve a lot on their customer support staff. While turnaround time is fast and they have regional offices across the globe, this very stretched team needs updated training in terms of handling installation and troubleshooting issues to provide speedy and quality answers to their customers.
Even if they have a lot of clients under their belt, HD Web Provider would benefit from a few more packages so that prospective customers can easily identify with what they have to offer.
If the number of existing clients does not amaze you, I don't know what will. There's no major reason for you not to consider signing up with HD Web Provider because so far, they offer good value for the price of their service. There are not a lot of hosting providers that can proudly list their partners and customers. Most of the companies out there have less than 10 accounts to be proud of so the 20,000 clients under their belt should be impressive enough.

Visualization of successful experiences: presentation of local concrete projects that have launched alternative circular models within the resource management, the design, and the construction phase, in which the needs and expectations of the users have been taken into account. Take a look at the APROP project of the Barcelona City Council or the ones being implemented by the cooperative of architects LACOL.
Workshop (debate, exchange of ideas): representatives of housing cooperatives, construction and building companies, technological institutes, environmental consultancy companies, public administration agents, architects and designers joined an open discussion about the different circular actions that are being developed within the construction sector and those that could ideally be developed. The event ended with a debate about the possible solutions to those concrete barriers that nowadays hinder to carry out more circular building projects.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin's Big Connection to Earlier Movies Explained
It's only a reboot until it's not.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.
While Paramount has billed the seventh Paranormal Activity - written by franchise veteran Christopher Landon - as a fresh start for the series, a fan on the Paranormal Activity Wiki may have just cracked how the so-called reboot of the found-footage horror mainstay may actually take place in the series' already-established continuity.
A late revelation about the demonic presence plaguing the characters throughout Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin ties the events of the film right back into the surprisingly complex mythology of Paranormal Activities 1-6. Read on for all the details!

Have you seen Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin?
Throughout Next of Kin, lead character Margot is looking for her birth mother, who abandoned her as an infant. Her search leads her to the Beiler farm, an Amish community that's not actually all that Amish after all. The farm is more of a prison for the demon Asmodeus, an especially powerful prince of darkness, and the "Amish" are a clan of religious protectors who have managed to bind Asmodeus to a single bloodline. The women of this bloodline serve as hosts for the demon and pass the burden along to their daughters. Margot's biological mother Sarah was the last host of Asmodeus… and remains so in the present day. A prisoner deep under the farm, Sarah gave Margot up rather than subject her to the ruin Asmodeus would cause to her body and spirit, and judging by Sarah's worse-for-wear appearance by the end of Next of Kin, that was quite the sacrifice to make.
Next of Kin wraps up with Margot putting Sarah out of her misery and escaping the Beiler farm with her friend Chris, but it's no happy ending. Asmodeus possesses Sam Beiler, Margot's cousin, and escapes the farm, free to chase down Margot or to wreak havoc on other unsuspecting people who refuse to put their cameras down in mortally dangerous circumstances. It's a clean jumping-off point for new stories in a fresh continuity, but "Asmodeus" is not a name chosen lightly (you know, like a lead character named "Chris"). In fact, the name seems to be Paramount's way of leaving the door open to tying Next of Kin back to the original canon.
The Best 90s Horror Movies
It all comes back to the demon that plagued the character of all six previous films: Tobi. First named in Paranormal Activity 3, Tobi is how the demon introduces himself to characters in every movie after. It's a fact remarked upon by Father Todd in 2015's Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, the last entry in the franchise. Father Todd asks the girl seeing Tobi if he's ever used another name, as demons often change their names to mask their identities. And Next of Kin may find Tobi having finally gone back to living under his true identity. As an update to "Tobi's" page on the Paranormal Activity fan Wiki by user NoraFromQueens points out, Asmodeus is a demon from the historical Book of Tobit. Tobit… like Tobi… hey, maybe the demon's name is spelled "Tobit" and the "t" is silent! Maybe the subtitles have been getting it wrong this whole time!
The connection can't be an accident, but whether or not the Asmodeus of Next of Kin and Tobi are one in the same is an open question. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, set in 2013, ended with Tobi actually attaining human form, with nothing standing in his way to achieve whatever nefarious goals he wanted. But in Next of Kin, set in 2021, Asmodeus has seemingly been trapped in Sarah's body for decades. The timelines don't quite add up, but if you're a fan of Paranormal Activity, you know that's no big deal! Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones introduced time travel to the franchise, by way of doorways drawn with runes. Heck, at one point, protagonist Jesse is sucked through space-time and pops back in his living room moments later. The Ghost Dimension further shreds the fabric of reality by having a taped recording of Kristi (a major character from Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 as a young girl) from 1988 be able to describe the room in which the characters are watching the tape in the story's 2013.
It's conceivable that, some time after Tobi succeeds in achieving human form in 2013, some character could have found a way to expel the demon from their present and send it back in time (or to another universe entirely) where it latches on to the Beilers at some point in the past. Ali Rey, Paranormal Activity 2's protagonist, is still alive and even helped The Marked Ones' Hector and Marisol find the hideout of the Midwives, the coven responsible for summoning Tobi in the earlier Paranormal Activity movies. It's practically a hallmark of the Paranormal Activity films to set new entries in between or prior to others, so Paramount+ has plenty of room to go in and fill in the gaps according to what degree Next of Kin ends up resonating with fans (which may be a struggle, based on my review).
Nice catch, NoraFromQueens! So what do you think? Is Next of Kin a secret sequel or is "Asmodeus" just Christopher Landon's nod to the "Tobi" of Paranormal Activities past? Let us know what you think in the comments!
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is now streaming on Paramount+.
William Eubank is directing this entry into the Paranormal Activity franchise, while the script is written by Christopher Landon.

I have about $36,000 in debt, not including my house.
Of that amount, $30,000 is a truck that's worth about what I owe on it, and the other $6,000 is student loan debt.
I make $50,000 a year.
I also have 24 EE bonds that were gifted to me that haven't fully matured.
Right now, they're worth a combined $12,500.
Should I cash those in, and use the money to pay off some of my debt, or let them fully mature before cashing them in?
Also, are there any tax ramifications from cashing them in?
They might be taxed, but it won't be much to worry about.
EE bonds make less than one percent, so you haven't really earned much.
Never buy those things, man.
They're a horrible investment, with an even worse rate of return.
I'm glad you're working out a plan and moving toward getting out of debt.
A $30,000 truck doesn't work with a $50,000 income.
So, cash in the bonds immediately, sell the truck, and use some of the money from the EE bonds to pay off the school loans.
Then, find yourself a cheap, little truck that will get you around for a few years.
You can do this, Patrick.
I want you to have a nice truck one day, but I don't want that truck to be a burden.
This one's got you by the throat, and you're feeling it, aren't you?

The results of this study showed that the same relative reductions in thickness swelling (TS) previously obtained with steam-injection-pressed (SIP) resinless mats are also obtained in boards bonded with 3% isocyanate resin. Reductions in thickness swelling were proportional to steam time and pressure. Thickness swelling of 40% measured in conventionally pressed boards following a vacuum-pressure-soak treatment was reduced to 25% in a board exposed to 20 sec of steam at 600 kPa and to 6% in a board exposed to 40 sec of steam at 1,900 kPa. We believe that the reductions in thickness swelling result from a combination of flake plasticization, blignin flow,c and chemical modification. Bending properties of the SIP boards were substantially lower than that of conventionally pressed boards, which we attribute in part to the very short press times and the relatively fast decompression used to manufacture the SIP boards. Bending properties of SIP boards also suffered from a reduction of the vertical density gradient. However, this characteristic is favorable to shear properties.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Redskins may not have reached the outcome they would prefer, but their 2015 season brought clarity to at least one franchise-stabilizing question.
Kirk Cousins, in his first full season as an NFL starter, proved beyond the shadow of a doubt his capability of leading the offense. Now, it's payment time.
Cousins, 27, is set to become a free agent with his rookie contract expiring at the start of the league year, but the Redskins can prevent him from ever reaching that point with the franchise tag, which can serve to keep him in Washington for another year or to extend their bargaining window into next summer.
On Monday, Cousins was asked during his weekly radio appearance with 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier if he'd prefer to strike a deal quickly or enjoy free agency for the first time in his career.
"You know, I don't really know how it all works, but with the franchise tag being a wrinkle in the whole process, I'm not even sure what that would do for my ability to test the waters," he answered. "That will come I believe before really free agency can even begin and typically deadlines tend to be when things get done, so I see it probably lasting a while, or at least not even having anything happen for a while, but I don't know. I'm just kind of guessing.
Despite the franchise tag ensuring a player is paid an average of the top five salaries at his position, many players frown upon being franchise tagged, rejecting the thought of being deprived the opportunity to be courted by other teams, as they've worked so hard to do, or putting off long-term financial stability for another year.
Cousins doesn't appear to see it that way, at least not when asked whether he'd like to avoid being franchise tagged if possible.
"Yeah, I think when you look at the dollars and cents of it, like you said, to be paid among the top five in your position… why wouldn't you like that?" he said.
Cousins was asked again, with Washington's season now over, if he feels wanted by the franchise.
