Lefty Sirota: 'We Are Incinerating the Planet...Because Too Many of Us Like to Eat Cheeseburgers'
By Dan Gainor | May 4, 2013 | 3:36 PM EDT
How do you top making national news for bigotry? Trying getting people to "Give Up (Eating) Hamburgers to Stop Climate Change."
For loony lefty syndicated columnist David Sirota, it's all just another day at the office. Sirota made national news for his bizarre and bigoted hope that the Boston bomber would turn out to be "a white American."
Fresh off that fiasco, Sirota has turned his sights to changing the climate by changing America's diet. According to Sirota's May 2 column, "the fastest way to reduce climate change" simply "requires us all to eat fewer animal products." In case that wasn't sufficiently clear, he added that "we are incinerating the planet and dooming future generations simply because too many of us like to eat cheeseburgers." Sirota's article on the left-wing site Salon included a photo of what appeared to be a bacon cheeseburger with an egg on top of it.
"That's right; essentially, if every fourth time someone craved, say, beef, chicken or cow milk they instead opted for a veggie burger, a bean burrito or water, we have a chance to halt the emergency," he added.
But Sirota wasn't optimistic that conservatives would join him in his veggie crusade. "I'm sure some conservatives will read this column and send me email smugly pledging to eat even more meat than they already do, just to make some incoherent point about freedom." Somehow "freedom" is always incoherent to the left. No matter. We either stop eating what we want or we are endangering what Sirota called our "ecological survival."
The left has been making what we eat their business for years, but it has escalated under the leadership of First Lady Michelle Obama and New York Nanny State Mayor Michael Bloomberg. With extreme groups like the Center for Science in the Public Interest and Food Democracy Now, that trend has accelerated. Liberals have targeted a wide variety of foods and drinks, portion size, menu information, what's in the food, what restaurants can serve and where they can even be located.

Q: Bug when Task.Factory.FromAsync is calling C# base methods in Xamarin.iOS I'm using the latest version of Xamarin.iOS (8.10.5.26). While developing a cross-platform library which heavily uses async/await methods, I found that it works fine with Android, Mono, Microsoft CLR but it crashes on iOS. Narrowing the issue down has lead to what I suspect to be a bug in CLR implementation on iOS.
If you have a class MyNetworkStream derived from NetworkStream which overrides its methods, iOS version may call MyNetworkStream's EndRead when the caller assumes that base.EndRead should be called. This happens in this scenario:
int bytesRead = await Task.Factory.FromAsync<int>(base.BeginRead(buffer, 0, count, null, null), base.EndRead);

All other platforms but iOS call base.EndRead (NetworkStream.EndRead). Is it indeed a bug in iOS version of CLR or am I missing something?
The entire sample:
public class MyNetworkStream : NetworkStream
{
    public MyNetworkStream(Socket sock) : base(sock)
    {
    }

    public override IAsyncResult BeginRead(byte[] buffer, int offset, int size, AsyncCallback callback, object state)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("BeginRead ERROR");
        return base.BeginRead(buffer, offset, size, callback, state);
    }

    public override int EndRead(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
    {
        int x = 0;
        throw new InvalidOperationException("EndRead ERROR");
        return base.EndRead(asyncResult);
    }

    public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Read ERROR");
        return base.Read(buffer, offset, count);
    }

    public override async Task<int> ReadAsync(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        int bytesRead = await Task.Factory.FromAsync<int>(base.BeginRead(buffer, 0, count, null, null), base.EndRead);
        return bytesRead;
    }
}

// Put this in a button click handler or something like that.
using (TcpClient client = new TcpClient("mail.afterlogic.com", 143))
{
    MyNetworkStream mns = new MyNetworkStream(client.Client);
    byte[] b = new byte[1024];
    await mns.ReadAsync(b, 0, b.Length);
}

iOS version causes InvalidOperationException with "EndRead ERROR" message, other versions don't as they never get into MyNetworkStream.EndRead (or any MyNetworkStream methods at all). Interestingly that base.BeginRead is OK, only base.EndRead is a problem. I.e. Task.Factory.FromAsync picks the correct value for Begin method but not for End counterpart (as the first one is just IAsyncResult while second one is Func). So the problem is with Func, I suppose.

The buildings and artworks of the Künstlerkolonie Darmstadt (Darmstadt Artists' Colony) on the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt form a unique Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork) that was created between 1900 and 1914. With the founding of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony, Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine, grandson of Queen Victoria, pursued several goals: on the one hand, he wanted to establish a center for the new modern style in architecture and applied arts in Darmstadt, the capital of his grand duchy; on the other hand, Ernst Ludwig sought out to boost manufactories in Hesse by providing them with modern designs created by the Darmstadt Artists' Colony.
He had become familiar with the Arts and Crafts Style during his time in England and saw herein a point of departure for the development of modern designs of high quality using materials appropriate to the design intent. The Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt proved to be the perfect space for this undertaking and was subsequently shaped in its current form over the course of four major exhibitions between 1901 and 1914 by the 23 members of the Artists' Colony.

Minor in Possession in Michigan, what the prosecutor really thinks about your case
In 2018, a Minor in Possession charge is now a civil infraction. Prior to this year, this offense was a criminal misdemeanor. That seems like good news for my clients, and it sounded great to the lawmakers who created the law, but things are NOT playing out in a favorable way for people in Michigan. Yes, it is a win for someone not to have a criminal record for underage drinking, but there are a ton of collateral consequences, many of these issues, which I am fixing for people who screwed up their own case or received poor advice from other lawyers.
Prior to 2018, if you were charged with an MIP, you would likely plead guilty under a first offender program, do some probation, pay a fine, and your record is clear with no paper trail of the offense. Your case was non-public and you did not have to report it as a criminal conviction. Now, people are going into court, pleading responsible to the civil infraction of Minor in Possession, but this is a public record. Very public, just like a traffic ticket.
Sure it's not a criminal case, but it comes up and the facts/evidence are not any different. It's also a crime in most states, and I have had a client plead responsible to the civil infraction in Michigan, but his home state still suspended his license for 12 months, because that state still considered it a criminal offense. I've had clients get fired from a job because their employer had this on their record, and the employer didn't care if it was a crime or not, it just meant the same to them - breaking the law with alcohol.
This same logic would certainly apply to a grad school, employer, a scholarship committee etc. Let's evaluate someone who received an MIP in 2017 vs 2018.
In 2017, in a reasonable worse case scenario, the person would go on probation on the first offender program, excel, have the case dismissed, and the arrest/charge and plea would all be non-public. On applications there would be no need to put the offense, and there would be no record of it at the courthouse or on a public database. This person is safe from their past impacting their future plans.
In 2018, a Minor in Possession pops up in that same search, and most applications ask for any civil infractions in your past; that means you would need to list it and explain what happened. Now the person who sees that might say - "isn't an MIP a crime?" Or, it says civil infraction, but do I really want to hire or admit someone who "breaks the law?" - even one incident of underage drinking could send the wrong perception to the person reviewing the record.
They can easy then FOIA the police report connected to the MIP case, and there could be some embarrassing facts in there as a college kid charged with underage drinking. There could even be some facts about other crimes that are under first offender programs, or crimes not charged, but the facts could support them. Common other crimes that go with an MIP might be possessing a fake ID, urinating in public, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, public intoxication, open container etc.
As a former prosecutor, I understand the typical prosecutor mindset of "well he/she already caught a break" or "it's not even a crime". This can be frustrating to hear, and it's so shortsighted.
Most prosecutors DO NOT think outside the box and they don't understand or consider collateral consequences. That's like me saying well there's a gas leak at my house, and they say, well the house isn't on fire, what's the big deal? Sure, in the moment it's a civil infraction, but once that record becomes public it sets off fireworks in all directions for the client., and you can run from it, because it's not eligible for expungement This is why I have not allowed any of my clients charged with an MIP to walk into the courthouse and plead responsible.
I approach these cases as if the offense is still a serious criminal offense, and value the fact that my client should not be underage drinking, and we can learn from this. We over prepare and outwork the others charged wit hthe same offense.
To simply ignore what happened will only lead to the client piling up MIP's and getting into more trouble with alcohol in the immediate future, and down the road as they get older. It's my goal to workout an alternative outcome with the prosecutor that is NOT an MIP.
This could be accomplished in many ways; we can turn the MIP into a different civil infraction, which won't pop up as an alcohol offense; this would be the optimal result, but not always offered by a prosecutor. That is why my client's go above and beyond with a proactive approach to push the limits on negotiations, and give me the currency I need to make things happen.

It is day one after the bomb dropped. I awoke with a different feeling. There is still a war ahead but I didn't have the feeling of dread for the day that I felt every morning since starting the new position.


Special effect: Drags opponent into the sky.
--The victim can break free if they struggle enough.
--A potential victim can try to hit the Beetle hard enough to send it in a different direction.
Pretty much sounds like an aim-able version of the Galaga ships.
I've actually never seen one of these in a match; how hard are they to escape from?
i think it's percent-dependent, they're harder to mash out of at higher percents. i've basically always been able to get out of them with a good mashing technique though.

In spite of a hacker threat that Disney's latest Pirates of the Caribbean film was stolen and was held for ransom, the movie is topping U.S. and international box office charts.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' four-day U.S. gross sales is $77 million. The global release also took in $208.4 million.
Movies are not Disney's major revenue generators, but their success or failure usually influences the stock more than the Parks & Recreation division.
The Studio & Entertainment segment, which covers movies, delivered 28.17% growth last year. It was the best performing division of Division.
DIS has positive market trend algorithmic forecasts. They are signaling a buy for Disney's stock.
Disney (DIS) Chief Bob Iger confirmed that they received a threat from a hacker who allegedly stole the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. However, Disney refused to submit to the extortion attempt of the hacker. The whole thing came out as a hoax. Disney spent $230 million producing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. It is therefore a great relief that the hacker threat was just a bluff that Iger wisely ignored.
Dead Men Tell No Tales' success in the box office tells me there really is no hacked copy of it circulating online. This movie's 4-day ticket sales in the U.S. has reached $77 million. As of May 28, foreign ticket sales also hit $208 million. Dead Men Tell No Tales is definitely a hit movie.
Monday was Memorial Day so U.S. markets are closed. However, the box office success of Dead Men Tell No Tales will likely help DIS recover from its -6.22% 30-day performance. In my observation, Disney's stock always get favorable sentiments from investors whenever it has a hit movie.
Making movies is just a small part of Disney's overall business. But if we look at the chart below, hit movies last helped Disney's Studio & Entertainment division post the best Year-to-Year growth. Disney's TV division (Media Networks) and Parks & Recreation division are stagnating. Studio & Entertainment posted a Y-o-Y growth of 28.17%, while Media Networks only achieved 1.83% Y-o-Y growth.
Studio & Entertainment's impressive performance last year was because Disney had 6 of the 10 top-grossing movies in 2016. Compared to other film outfits, Disney released fewer movies last and yet still achieved the most amount of global revenue from cinema ticket sales, $7.61 billion.
Please study the chart below. Investors who like the movie industry should really add DIS to their long-term portfolios. The Mickey Mouse empire knows how to make hit movies, not just cartoon films.
Disney owned the four top-grossing movies last year. Dead Men Tell No Tales can help Disney replicate this feat. As of today, Disney only got two films among this year's top grossing movies, Beauty and the Beast (no.1) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (no. 3). Dead Men Tell No Tales is currently at no.13. It might just become a top 6 film.
It my fearless forecast that without achieving 5 or 6 of the top 10 grossing films of the year, Disney's Studio & Entertainment division will not deliver a double-digit growth this year. Disney still supposedly still has nine movies left scheduled for release this year.
I am very confident that the upcoming 2017 release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Thor: Ragnagrok, Cars 3, Cruella, and High School Musical 4 will help Disney. The Cars 3, Star Wars, and Thor movies are each likely to generate ticket sales of more than $1 billion.
I like it that Disney never buckled down from the threat of an extortionist hacker. Iger called his/her bluff and won. I therefore rate DIS as a strong buy. The management team of this company knows how to make hit movies and they know how to deal with criminals.
Long-term investors who like dividend paying companies should add DIS to their portfolios. Disney touts a very strong history paying dividends. The Mickey Mouse empire is not stingy when it comes to returning money to their shareholders.
The positive 3-month and one-year market trend algorithmic forecasts from I Know First also fortify my go-long recommendation for DIS. The gods of probability favor Disney's stock price being higher after 12 months.
The bullish algorithmic forecasts for Disney from I Know First is in line with the analysis of technical indicators and moving averages.
I Know First has been maintaining its bullish forecast of Disney, such as its bullish article published on October 2, 2016. Fortunately, Disney did not decide to purchase Twitter in what would be a $20 to $30 billion merger. Such a merger would cause Disney to borrow heavily to purchase a company struggling to make a profit. Since the article's release, not only has Disney released number one box office films, the stock has increased 16.75%.
This bullish forecast for DIS was sent to I Know First subscribers on September 29, 2016. To subscribe today click here.

Q: How to set an if statement to select keep the rows I need? (or remove the ones I do not need) I have the data frame DT that includes 3 columns: Reg (Regions), Products and values.
What I would like is first to loop over all prodcuts, if for one product I have two elements such as "WLD" and "EUN" within the Reg column, then I will skip this product and go to the next one.
COMS <- unique(DT$XX)
for (j in 1:length(COMS)){
CURRENT_COMS <- COMS[j]
df <- filter(DT, XX==CURRENT_COMS)
if ("WLD" && "EUN" %in% DT$Reg) {next} # Here is the problem
m_OLS_EUN = lm(Y ~ X, data = df)
...}

I wrote like this to express if "WLD" and "EUN" both appear for product j then go to next product, but it did not work.

A: You need to include "WLD" and "EUN" in a vector and test whether each is in the vector DT$REG. This will return a logical vector of length 2 indicating whether "WLD" and "EUN" are in DT$REG (both TRUE if they are both there). Since you want to know if they are both true, you wrap that in  all(), which returns TRUE only if all elements are TRUE:
COMS <- unique(DT$XX)
for (j in 1:length(COMS)){
  CURRENT_COMS <- COMS[j]
  df <- filter(DT, XX==CURRENT_COMS)
  if (all(c("WLD" && "EUN")) %in% DT$Reg)) {next} # Here is the problem
  m_OLS_EUN = lm(Y ~ X, data = df)
  ...}

Q: Entity Framework Model First and Inheritance I am using Model First to create my database with Entity Framework 6.
I have a class as follows:
public partial class User : IdentityUser
{
}

Where User is a class generated by EF in the designer.  However, how can I map the in inherited properties of User to the columns of a table?
My biggest issue is that despite the fact that I am adding the inheritance of IdentityUser to the User class/table, when I go back into the EF designer, the properties of IdentityUser do not show up.

A: If you are using a non-abstract base class and do not specify a [Table] on your User, and therefore your User and IdentityUser map to a single table, then you are using the TPH (Table Per Hierarchy: Enable polymorphism by denormalizing the SQL schema, and utilize a type discriminator column that holds type information) scenario.

U.S. National Guard aiding in vaccine clinic in Lee County
Officials say that Eastern Kentucky has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the state.(Cory Sanning/WYMT)
By Cory Sanning
Published: Jul. 20, 2021 at 7:23 PM EDT
BEATTYVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - Those attending Lee County Schools' registration event on Tuesday were greeted with a no-cost vaccination clinic with some unlikely volunteers.
"Our local health department has teamed with the National Guard because they were low on staff," Superintendent Sarah Wasson said. "And (the) National Guard was going to be in the community anyway working with vaccinations, so they've teamed together and we've got them supporting us."
The Kentucky River District Health Department teaming up with Lee County Schools and U.S. National Guard personnel to distribute COVID-19 vaccines at no charge for the community.
"Whenever the opportunity came up for them to work with us here to vaccinate part of our population, we were glad to partner," Kentucky River District Public Health Director Scott Lockard said.
School officials said that one of the goals was to inch toward a return to normalcy.
"I hope that people just know that this is something that's going to help us get back to a normal world," Wasson said. "I really think that the vaccine is our hope to get ready for a regular school year."
With a new variant of COVID-19 and rising case counts nationwide however, that presents a new challenge.
"The Delta variant is a new strain of COVID-19 that seems to be much more contagious, the viral load is higher and so it's much more easily transmitted among people," Lockard said.
Eastern Kentucky has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the state, something Lockard said that they are trying to remedy.
"We really want to try to increase vaccination rates in our area," Lockard said. "We do have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the state and the country, so we want to try to boost that and get those numbers up."
While the National Guard will no longer be assisting, no-charge vaccinations are available at Lee County High School beginning tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Financial public releases
2021 second quarter consolidated sales
2021/07/20 - Financial public releases
Exceptional increase in revenue in the first half of 2021, with +21.3% at comparable exchange rates and scope (+14% at constant exchange rates and actual scope), driven by very solid performance in all areas and good market dynamics
Quarterly consolidated revenue
Our second-quarter revenue hit €262.9 million, a steep +18.3% increase, excluding Sentinel (+14% at actual scope), from the same period in 2020. At constant exchange rates and scope, growth rose to +20%, propelled by the execution of our strategy, our excellent performance in all the geographical areas in which we operate, and outstanding momentum in the first months of 2021 in the animal health sector (visits to veterinarians, number of companion animal adoptions, rebound of the food producing animal segment, etc.). Our growth over the period was mainly driven by the performance of Europe and the Asia-Pacific area, which benefited from a favorable base effect over the quarter and contributed to approximately 80% of the quarter's growth. In Europe, all countries supported our growth, particularly France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, Spain, and Italy, which had exceptional performances in the companion animal segment (vaccines, petfood, and specialty products). In Asia-Pacific, India alone drove more than half of the quarter's growth, thanks to products for ruminants (food supplements and parasiticides). Latin America benefited from strong momentum in Brazil and Mexico, broadly compensating for the withdrawal of aquaculture activities in Chile. Finally, the United States grew over the quarter, excluding Sentinel, thanks to Iverhart and specialty products.
Cumulative consolidated revenue at the end of June
For the first half of the year overall, our revenues were €529.4 million, compared with €478.3 million, representing an overall increase of +17.9% excluding Sentinel (+10.7% at actual scope) compared with the same period in 2020. Excluding the unfavorable impact of exchange rates, revenues rose by +21.3% excluding Sentinel (+14% at actual scope).
All areas had double-digit organic growth at the end of June, reflecting both the sector's momentum and the successful execution of our strategic plan — thanks largely to the ongoing commitment of our teams. In Europe, revenue grew by +18.4% at real rates (+18.7% at constant exchange rates). The main contributors to this performance were France, the United Kingdom, Export activities, Italy, Benelux, Spain, and Germany, driven by strong momentum in the companion animal ranges (particularly the specialty ranges, petfood, and the rebound in vaccines). In Asia-Pacific, real-rate growth was up +23.5% (+26% at constant exchange rates). India continues to drive the area's growth, alone accounting for over half; Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and China also had a hand in the area's very strong growth. In the United States, first-half activity excluding Sentinel grew by +24.3% (+36.4% at constant exchange rates). The U.S. had sustained growth over all ranges and particularly specialty products, Iverhart, the dental range, which, in addition to the sales to the clinics, benefited from the strong development of its online sales; and recently launched products (Clomicalm, Senergy, Itrafungol and Stelfonta). In Latin America, apart from Chile, business grew by +19.8% at real rates (+31.5% at constant exchange rates), reflecting strong contributions from Brazil and Mexico. Finally, in Chile, activity in the first half was down by -19.1% at real rates (-15.1% at constant exchange rates), due to the drop in salmon smolts put in the water last year as a result of the health crisis and restaurant closings.
In terms of species, companion animal activities grew by +24.3% overall at constant exchange rates excluding Sentinel (8.7% at constant exchange rates and actual scope, and +5.8% at actual exchange rates and scope), essentially driven by the remarkable double-digit growth of the specialty ranges (including Clomicalm, Movoflex, Stelfonta), internal parasiticides, petfood, dermatology, dental, and by the rebound of the vaccine range for dogs and cats from the first half of 2020, which had been strongly impacted by our production and shortage problems. It should be noted that sales of Itrafungol and Clomicalm, products acquired in March 2021, represented around €4 million in sales over the period from March to June. The food producing animal segment also showed strong growth, at +17.7% at constant exchange rates (+14.2% at actual exchange rates), mainly driven by the ruminants sector (up +25.9% at constant exchange rates) and the swine-poultry sector (+10.0% at constant exchange rates), while the aquaculture sector is, as explained above, significantly down (by -11.6% at constant exchange rates) compared to the same period in 2020.
We currently anticipate like-for-like revenue growth (excluding the impact of Sentinel's sale) of 10% to 14% (7% to 11% at constant exchange rates and real scope), and a ratio of "current operating profit before depreciation of assets arising from acquisitions" over "revenue" of around 15% at constant exchange rates. We also anticipate an unfavorable impact of exchange rates on revenue of approximately €13 million associated with currency depreciation.
So far, the health crisis has not had an overly negative impact on the animal health sector, but, as explained above, we have implemented a set of measures and day-to-day oversight to prevent and limit its potential impacts. In addition, our extensive presence in terms of geographic areas and species, our highly diversified product portfolio, our varied distribution channels, the very strong responsiveness and adaptability of the teams throughout our organizational model, and the robustness of our financial situation are the perfect assets for us to ride out the pandemic. However, we are remaining vigilant to new developments in the coming months and are well placed to address them.

Mother Claims N.Y. School Officials Handcuffed Disabled Son
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. – A New York woman says school officials forcefully handcuffed her 12-year-old disabled son after he picked up a rock.
Edgar Leon-Caraballo, who has a rare genetic disease and is learning disabled, was denied his civil rights on May 14 when a police officer or a security guard handcuffed him on the school playground, according to his family's notice of claim against the Huntington School District and Suffolk County.
A notice of claim is the first step required before suing a public agency. Anthony Capetola, the family's attorney, said he plans to file a federal lawsuit seeking at least $10 million.
At a news conference Monday, the attorney and Edgar's mother, Rosa Caraballo, alleged that Edgar was grabbed, shoved to the ground and then handcuffed after an aide — who is with Edgar at all times — told him to drop a small stone he had picked up.
The lawyer said a feeding tube attached to Edgar's stomach was torn during the incident; his mother said Edgar has had nightmares ever since.
After the incident, Huntington Intermediate School principal Mary Stokkers suspended Edgar for a day, the family said. In a May 15 letter to his parents, Stokkers wrote that the reason was "aggressive behavior toward himself and staff members."
The school has declined to comment, saying it does not normally speak publicly about student-related matters.

It has been a rather good week and an even better weekend for Ripple. As the new year kick starts, we see an underdog rise! This gives us hope, that no matter where and how you start off, if your intentions are right, then you shall always win in the end. For Ripple, it is just the beginning.
Ripple: Different From The Get Go!
A Vancouver based web developer created basic infrastructure technology for interbank transactions – a neutral utility for financial institutions and systems. What this jargon meant was, banks and non-banks could easily apply this protocol of Ripple onto their pre-existing set and let the consumer enjoy its many services.
In the current time, what started out as a peer-to-peer money transfering protocol has grown and risen as one of the most easily transactional cryptocurrency of the times. With a fraction of validation time in comparison to Bitcoin, Ripple is sure to have won the hearts of many.
Ripple Labs, a division of Ripple, has set its protocol in placed which enables payments to merchants, consumers, and developers. It's payment protocol transforms said payment to work like communications ie. with utter transparency.
A gateway basically just accepts currency deposits from the many users and issues balances onto Ripple's distributed ledger. Another factor that plays a hand is that gateways can redeem ledger balances against the many deposits the customer holds when currency is being withdrawn. Plain speak, gateways are similar to banks, yet they share one global ledger known as the Ripple protocol. So while functioning on a centralized module, they have a decentralized structure.
Ripple is a decentralized structure. Hence, it relies on a distributed database that stores all of the multiple Ripple Accounts. To validate a transaction a Super-Majority of approval from the peers is required. This ensures that, whenever any transaction has taken place, one can easily access the 'Last ledger' generated to know all the details. This helps determine if the action is valid enough before the next set of nodes are to be created.
One of the most amazing things about Ripple is that it allows for peer – to – peer cross currency exchange. This means that one can pay back another irrespective of the cryptocurrency or fiat currency one possesses. For that matter, even Gold or Diamonds or Platinum can be evaluated and then used as a means of currency. The cherry on the cake is that this process time is mere 3 to 5 seconds. Much, much lower than that of Bitcoin.
There are several other uses that we can avail in a Ripple protocol. To curb it, limit it as just another cryptocurrency shall be a gross negligence on our behalf on regards to it multiple uses. It offers its customers an open API ( Application Programming Interface) and even provides them protection from spam. To achieve this, they expect all users to keep in their accounts a minimum of 20 Ripple as cryptocurrency tokens. Then, when the security team detects any cyber hacking, they flood the market with 20 Ripples from all the accounts. This causes the protocol to slow down and inadvertently slow down the hackers. The process of flooding is one of the key factors for which banks and non-banking institutions alike want to implement it.

Top 5 Champions League comebacks
PUBLISHED by: Edwin Kiplagat
The Champions League has produced memorable moments. From spectacular goals to historic performances, Europe's premier competition always delivered. However, Champions League comebacks have been a staple. Here are Top 5 Champions League comebacks in the competition. Bet on football here.
Top 5 Champions League comebacks: 2005: AC Milan 3 v 3 Liverpool (Liverpool win 3-2 on penalties)
Liverpool phenomenal comeback against AC Milan in the 2005 final, dubbed the "Miracle of Istanbul' is one of the best, if not the best comeback in the competition's history. Against all odds, the Reds managed to claw their way back and win the game. This is despite being 3-0 down at half time. Rafael Benitez's men were beaten although that AC Milan side, managed by Carlo Ancelotti boasted some of the best players in the world. The likes of Hernan Crespo, Andriy Shevchenko and Paolo Maldini were on the team sheet. The Reds still scored three goals in a space of six minutes to level the tie. Milan were stunned and they did not recover in the match. In addition, European Player of the Year Shevchenko, missing the decisive spot-kick.
Top 5 Champions League comebacks: 1999: Manchester United 2 v 1 Bayern Munich
There is nothing that hasn't been said about this famous comeback in the 1999 final. Chasing an unprecedented treble for an English club, Alex Ferguson team's dream was close to dissipating. The Red Devils were trailing 1-0 with just three minutes to go. Nevertheless, super subs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham scored twice in added time to seal a historic treble. This is up there as one of the best Champions League comebacks of in the competition's history.
Top 5 Champions League comebacks: 2017: Barcelona 6 v Paris St Germain 1
The Catalans have been involved in a few spectacular comebacks in the last few years but this one ranks up there. PSG's 4-0 win in Paris was a seen as a coming of age moment for the underachieving expensively assembled squad. Yet, in the return leg at the Camp Nou, they were shell-shocked. Barca produced an extraordinary comeback, winning 6-1 and knocking the Parisians out. They were 3-0 up in the 50th minute but Edinson Cavani's goal at the half-hour made things interesting. Neymar scored Barca's fourth and fifth goals in the 88th and 91st minutes. Moreover, Sergi Roberto's goal at the death was the final nail in the coffin.
2004: Deportivo La Coruna 4 v 0 AC Milan
In 2004, Spanish side Deportivo la Coruna were huge. They were perennial title contenders. They not only threatened Barcelona and Real Madrid's duopoly but also broke it in 2000 when they won La Liga. Reigning champions Milan had thrashed Deportivo 4-1 in the first leg at San Siro. With that result, Deportivo were dead and buried right? Wrong. Javier Irureta's side stunned and embarrassed Ancelotti's side in an entertaining encounter. Walter Pandiani opened the scoring after just minutes. Juan Carlos Valeron doubled the lead in the 34th minute while Albert Luque made it 3-0 before half time. Milan could not recover and skipper Fran finished the job with a fourth in the 76th minute. Although they now ply their trade in the Spanish second division, they left a mark with one of the most memorable Champions League comebacks.
2019: Liverpool 4 Barcelona 0
These two European giants have produced some memorable moments in the competition but Liverpool's comeback last year was one for the ages. Down 3-0 from the first leg, Liverpool faced an uphill battle against a Lionel Messi led Barcelona. In fact, the Reds were missing Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Not only that but also no team had also previously come back from such a margin at the semi-final stage of the competition. Lionel Messi, who scored twice in the reverse fixture was non-existent throughout the match this paved way for Liverpool to thrash Barcelona 4-0 and went on to lift their sixth European title.
2018: Roma 3 v 0 Barcelona 0
After a 4-1 win in the Nou Camp, Barcelona went to Roma looking certain of a place in the semi-finals. However, it all went downhill at the Stadio Olimpico. Edin Dzeko scored early to give Roma confidence and Daniele De Rossi added a second from the penalty spot. Kostas Manolas' 82nd-minute header broke the heart of the Catalans knocking them out of the competition.

I love how easy and affordable it makes tutus so you can have lots of colors! I hope your girls enjoy them! Hi April- I was going to list this in the post but it really varies depending on how big the waist is and how long you make the tulle.
Hi, I would like to no something about the tutu. I intend on doing like yours the 3 different colours. Please could you email me back as i dont always get to the computer to see things.
Thanks for the tutu-orial see what I did there? This was super easy and pretty quick. Thanks so much for these easy instructions.
I just made a gold and white one and am thinking I will need to go three colors next time. Super cute, super easy! If I make a post on my blog about it I will be sure to link back! Here is the link where I referenced your site. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Just a different tip. That way I could adjust the waist size if needed and the ends just look like part of the tutu. Thanks for the tutorial. And your daughter is so cute! I am just wondering, does anyone have any tips on how to attach a tutu skirt made like this one to a bodice?
Instead of tying the tulle to the elastic loop it through the holes in the bodice the same way you would loop it around the elastic. Took 30 min and I had yards of material I had to cut down to 6 inch strips but still 30 min. Thank you for this great tutorial. I just made one for my 3 yr old neighbor girl for Christmas.
She wants to be a ballerina when she grows up. This will be the perfect gift for her!! Excited to make this! Question…how many more tulle strips approximately do you need for the larger waist sizes? Thanks for the awesome directions.
I absolutely LOVE this tutorial! Your daughter is adorable btw I hope I can make a tutu for mine just like that. Thanks for this tutorial. I think 3 layers of tulle at a time really does make a difference especially with multiple colors.
I have looked at a lot of tutus and tutorials, but you are the first one to answer a question that keeps popping up in my mind. I have been trying to figure out how they get the tutus on elastic so full looking.
You are the first to answer it in your tutorial. You use multiple layers. Thank you for your full explanation. I will be using this tutorial to make an adult size tutu for the Pomona Bubble Run this Saturday.
Great, easy to follow instructions — thank you!! I love this idea, I am going to make one for a mini tree skirt. I can do it in my color theme for Christmas apple green and white. This post is amazing, and the your lil girl is super cute! Thanks a bunch for these great instructions, and wish me luck! I found your blog to be the perfect instructions for a newby fabric crafter. Very nice photos and clear instructions — Thanks! I think it less than half an hour from start to finish! Thanks for making it so easy.
I just made my 4 month old daughter a tutu for her Halloween costume using your tutorial. It was so easy thanks to your wonderful instructions! Thank you so much for this! I wants to make a 3 layer tutu dress for my 2 years old daughter how much tulle is required plz help.
I love your method for cutting the tulle strips — so quick and easy! Kimber, You mentioned 48 strips and you used 3 colors so that was 16 of each color. I see you used 1 of each color for each knot. Are there only 16 knots? Glad that I learned it here how to make tutu without sewing. Before, I used to buy tutus and loved there tutus of all sorts.
Just made one for my newborn for her photos using your tutorial. It turned out so perfectly!! For my 12 month old I used about 50 yards 2 rolls Hope that helps! So it comes out to 16 strips of each color? My first attempt so just want to make sure I understand it right! My daughter is 8 and tall, so I would want something around at least 16 inches long. I also want to do three colors. So I understand I get the double in length 32 inches , but how much would I get in yards?
Thanks for the kind words. I do not sell ready made items but I am sure you can find lots of handmade vendors on Etsy. I want to make one for my 4 month old cousin. Is there a softer material that will work as well or maybe another way for it to work. I love your tutorial! I used your link to share how I made a tutu that I featured on my blog! Thank you so much for such great instructions! I just had to share it with others! Your directions were so easy to follow! Thanks so much for the tutu instructions!

I declined to adopt the view that what was imperatively necessary for the Nation could not be done by the President unless he could find some specific authorization to do it. My belief was that it was not only his right but his duty to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws. Under this interpretation of executive power I did and caused to be done many things not previously done by the President and the heads of the departments. I did not usurp power, but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power. In other words, I acted for the public welfare, I acted for the common well-being of all our people, whenever and in whatever manner was necessary, unless prevented by direct constitutional or legislative prohibition.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Roosevelt|first1=Theodore|title=Theodore Roosevelt, an Autobiography|date=1913|publisher=Charles Scribner's sons|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Io4fAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA357|pages=}}</ref>

====Eugenics====
As was common during the [[Progressive Era]], Roosevelt came to believe in the doctrines of [[Eugenics]]. He wrote about the dangers of "race suicide",<ref>[http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/toonsbytopicracesuicide.html Theodore Roosevelt : Political Cartoons : "Race Suicide" Controversy]</ref><ref>[When some eugenists wrote about "race", they meant "Human Race" and not racial superiority]</ref> in that people were not having enough children.
Common with eugenists, he did believe in sterilization. In an article titled "Twisted Eugenics", he wrote that "I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding; and when the evil nature of these people is sufficiently flagrant, this should be done. Criminals should be sterilized and feeble-minded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them."<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qbsRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA32 The Outlook, Volume 106]</ref> Additionally, he wrote a letter to Charles Davenport expressing the same sentiment. He wrote: "Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind. It is really extraordinary that our people refuse to apply to human beings such elementary knowledge as every successful farmer is obliged to apply to his own stock breeding."<ref>[https://www.dnalc.org/view/11219-T-Roosevelt-letter-to-C-Davenport-about-degenerates-reproducing-.html T. Roosevelt letter to C. Davenport about "degenerates reproducing"]</ref>
Roosevelt's eugenic beliefs have at times been misunderstood, and can be best categorized as Neo-Lamarkist.<ref>Thomas G. Dyer, ''Theodore Roosevelt and the Idea of Race'' (1980), p. 160</ref>
===Foreign Policy===
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States of America, 1901-1909, leader of the Republican party and (in 1912-16) the Progressive Party. Roosevelt is best known for his remarkable personality and commitment to democratic process. He was strongly committed to law and order, active leadership, civic duty and individual self-responsibility; he was more concerned with the process of change than its direction.
Roosevelt was home schooled by tutors and his parents. He was solid in geography (thanks to his careful observations on all his travels) and very well read in history, strong in biology, French and German, but deficient in mathematics, Latin and Greek. He became one of the outstanding naturalists of the era, specializing in very careful study of birds.[3] He attended Harvard College, graduating in 1880 "magna cum laude". He lived very well—his annual $4000 allowance was higher than the president of the college—the days of equalitarian houses were decades in the future. His father's sudden death in 1878 was a stunning blow; Roosevelt redoubled his efforts.[4] In academics he did well in science, philosophy and rhetoric courses, as well as German; but fared poorly in Latin and Greek. Harvard did not have majors, but he took all the advanced biology he could. Classmates considered him an odd bird—he kept snakes in his room and knew all about them. He also dressed in the latest fashions and kept his own horse and buggy. A crack shot, he brought his friends along on hunting parties to the north woods. The perfect gentleman, he was invited into the best clubs.
Roosevelt was the chief leader of the Progressive movement in politics—which in 21st century terms includes both liberal and conservative values. He tried to move the dominant Republican Party into the Progressive camp. He distrusted wealthy businessmen and dissolved 40 monopolistic corporations as a "trust buster". He did not disagree with trusts and capitalism in principle but was only against their corrupt, illegal practices. His "Square Deal" promised a fair shake for both the average citizen, including regulation of railroad rates and pure foods and drugs and the businessmen. As an outdoorsman, he promoted the conservation movement, emphasizing efficient use of natural resources.
Widespread outrage followed publication in 1906 of Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, which detailed the horrible conditions in Chicago's packinghouses. Roosevelt sent Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neill and social worker James Bronson Reynolds[8] to investigate the meat-packing industry in Chicago. Their report to the president was 'revolting,' but since Roosevelt feared the impact on ranchers and European meat importers, he withheld the Neill-Reynolds report from publication. Sinclair was so upset that he provided specific information to newspapers. Roosevelt then had the commissioners put their report in writing and sent it to Congress. This led to a hearing before Congress; witnesses were asked about seeing a dead hog slide partway into a men's privy. Although Sinclair was a Socialist and his main interest was in the stockyard workers, not consumers, the turmoil over tainted meat helped move Congress to enact the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. The act itself had been drawn up by experts in the Department of Agriculture and remains in effect in the 21st century.[9]
Roosevelt was the first President to issue over 1000 Executive Orders. According to Dr. Graham G. Dodds, a professor of political science at Concordia University,[13] Roosevelt issued almost as many executive orders as all of his predecessors combined.[14]
Prior to Roosevelt, only one President issued over 200 executive orders, Grover Cleveland.(Cleveland issued a total of 253)[15] Of the first 25 Presidents in total, 1262 executive orders were issued. Roosevelt issued 1081.[15]
Members of congress eventually got tired of Roosevelt's excesses in using executive orders to create policy. On February 25th, 1907, Senator Charles W. Fulton, a Republican from Oregon, added an amendment to the 1907 Agricultural Appropriations Bill[16] declaring these activities as falling under the authority of congressional power, not executive power. Congressional leaders concluded that the president was out of control.[17]
More than any president before or since, Roosevelt insisted that conservation of natural resources be high on the agenda. As a world-class hunter and explorer, he mobilized support among American hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen. He promoted both the national park system and the national forest system.
In the early 20th century there were three main positions. The laissez-faire position held that owners of private property—including lumber and mining companies, should be allowed to do anything they wished for their property. The conservationists, led by Roosevelt and his ally Gifford Pinchot, said that was too wasteful and inefficient. In any case, they noted, most of the natural resources in the western states were already owned by the federal government. The best course of action, they argued, was a long-term plan devised by national experts to maximize the long-term economic benefits of natural resources. The third position, led by the Sierra Club, held that nature was almost sacred, and that man was an intruder. It allowed for limited tourism (such as hiking), but opposed automobiles in national parks. It strenuously opposed timber cutting on most public lands and vehemently denounced the dams that Roosevelt supported for water supplies, electricity and flood control. Especially controversial was the Hetch Hetchy Dam in Yosemite National Park, which was built after Roosevelt had left politics. The dam still stands despite efforts by members of the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations as well as the Sierra Club to demolish the dam. Nancy Pelosi and the California Democratic Party have been staunch critics of these proposals, as the reservoir is used for a back up water supply for Pelosi's district (Don Pedro Reservoir is the main source).
Roosevelt was keenly sensitive to the issues surrounding race and ethnicity, particularly the heated debated on immigration restriction. He considered himself Dutch, not Anglo-Saxon . He welcomed the vitality of new immigration, while holding that America's first responsibility was to its literate, native-born, working poor. In balancing these competitive goals, the president backed legislation that limited the immigration of poverty- and disease-stricken people regardless of ethnicity. He blocked harsh anti-Japanese efforts in California, but negotiated an informal agreement whereby Japan would no longer send immigrants. During World War I he attacked certain "hyphenated Americans," especially German-Americans and Irish-Americans, saying they put loyalties to their homeland above American interests.[41]
In The Winning of the West, a four-volume history of westward expansion, Roosevelt developed the thesis that the western experience shaped and created a new ethnic group or people (what he called a "race"), the true American people. His ideas helped shape the popular culture, especially since his own cowboy persona exemplified all the strengths of the new people. Meanwhile, Professor Frederick Jackson Turner developed his famous Frontier Thesis, based in part on Roosevelt's ideas. Turner's views came to dominate professional historiography and shaped the teaching of history for a century–and is still influential in the 21st century. Roosevelt and Turner shared the view that the frontier was the most significant force in America's cultural and political development, but Turner stressed the complex social and political processes simulated by the frontier, while Roosevelt emphasized that national growth and progress came from the West. Turner envisioned political problems that could befall America if cheap land resources were exhausted. Roosevelt saw a new, highly capable cohort of ruling elites growing out of the conquest of the frontier and leading America to new frontiers.[42]
Both Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson took an intense interest in the controversy over the reform of college football to make the game more efficient and less brutal. In the 1890s and early 1900s, football faced widespread harsh criticism over injuries and the exaggerated role of athletics in college life. Roosevelt and Wilson, loyal followers of Harvard and Princeton, had defended football in the 1890s. In the fall of 1905, however, Roosevelt called a conference of football experts at the White House to discuss brutality and unsportsmanlike conduct. Thereafter, Roosevelt worked behind the scenes to bring about sufficient reform to preserve football and insure that it would continue to be played at Harvard. In the years 1909-10, when college football again faced an injury crisis, Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton University worked with the presidents at Harvard and Yale to make reasonable reforms. Both Roosevelt's and Wilson's approaches were consistent with their strategies for national political change. In the years that followed the reforms on the gridiron, football evolved rapidly into the 'attractive' game that Wilson had advocated and a far less brutal game than the unruly spectacle that Roosevelt had tried to control.[55]
I advocate a man's joining in church work for the sake of showing his faith by his works.
Various other quotes[60][61][62] help express Roosevelt's character and values.

Delgado introduces healthcare bill that won't pass Senate
Roger Hannigan Gilson reports in The Other Hudson Valley that Rep. Antonio Delgado, a Democrat from Rhinebeck, introduced a bill April 1 to make a form of Medicare available to all Americans. The bill could pass the House of Representatives, but has no chance in the Senate or with the President. Delgado says the bill, if passed, would introduce "more choice and more competition to the marketplace" and will "drive down costs for everyone." The measure is for a "public option" of Medicare X, which would keep Medicare physician network funding separate from the Medicare trust fund, with private insurance also allowed. The House of Representatives passed a similar proposal when the Affordable Health Care Act was approved, but the then Democrat-controlled Senate did away with the public option. Republicans currently control the Senate, and the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, said this week that the Senate will not take up healthcare until after the next presidential election. Read the full story in The Other Hudson Valley.


Finally after four years of trying to make it to this event and always having another event in the way, I finally made it! I must also add for this weary driving beer blogger it was finally easy to get to. They put together one awesome "little" festival. Besides 7 different brews from other McMenamins in the region, they also brought in beers from Diamond Knot, Dicks, Elliot Bay, Fish Brewing and Merchant Du Vin Importer to have a good amount of liquid libations available.
Did you know that of all 57 of the McMenamins locations, almost every place has some sort of brewing set up – ranging from a small one barrel to the big 15 barrel system. So they all brew; it's just a matter of when and what. I found this out from talking with one of the local traveling McMenamins brewers, who goes from place to place to make the special brews for several locations in Washington State. Tannar Brewer is his name and you could say he gets around. He brewed four of the seven brews just for this festival and did a great job. I really liked the MI-5 IPA from Mill Creek. The Six Arms store has nothing hang their heads low about the Skinny Pants Black IPA. I am sure he named that one after me. (LOL) There was a Spar Martian Pepper ale made at the Spar Café from Olympia, with a hint of pepper that was enough to make it very enjoyable but not make you wish for ice cream later on.
What can one say about the venue – typical McMenamins with awesome paintings and artwork all throughout the old Olympic Club building. They took the theatre area and put all the brewers in one end and the rest for the drinking masses to mingle. The back doors opened for fresh air and the wafting smell of fresh BBQ – not fair! They also had tons of seats and a covered area outside for the overflow. Just be careful as you are a stone's throw from the train station; one wrong step and you headed to Portland. Later in the day the music came out to create a festive mood. The crowds got much more intense when it got later in the day so to avoid the crowds come early. I must mention the BBQ is off the hook good, so if you arrive late in the day they can and will run out.
All in all, it was a terrific time. The beers were great and the people were awesome. I know for this beer geek it was a nice small festival and I enjoyed myself and had some very tasty brews from both McMenamins and the others. Fish Brewing CDA – Awesome. Diamond Knot Brown and IPA – Wow. Last but not least, Dicks Brewing IPA was still tasty as ever. See you all again next year at the 16th Annual Olympic Club Brewfest.
