They just can't wait to start an all out CW while believing that they
are totally immune from the consequences of their treachery.
They just can't help themselves.
Yes, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Nothing proves this more succinctly than the power madness of DEMOCRATS.

You left off the word "extremist." What a joke. I clicked on the link and the word "extremist" was missing. You make it sound like Durbin is just going after any and all right wing groups. Lazy or intentionally deceitful?????
As far as Durbin focusing on ring wing extremist groups? GOOD!!!! Seriously, who doesn't want that?
Trump's own FBI director said that the greatest domestic terrorist threat is white supremacists:</b?
Nov 5, 2019 – "A huge chunk of those domestic terrorism investigations involve racially-motivated, violent extremist-motivated terrorist attacks," Wray said. "And the majority of those, of the racially-motivated, violent extremist attacks, are fueled by some kind of white supremacy. And I would say that the most lethal activity over the last few years has been committed by those type of attackers."
Sept. 17, 2020 – U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a former CIA analyst, asked Wray to discuss the number of investigations into white supremacist groups versus groups on the left. Wray replied that the FBI has roughly 1,000 domestic terrorism investigations a year, though it is a "good bit north of a thousand this year."
"Everything from racially-motivated violent extremists to violent anarchist extremists, militia types, sovereign citizens, you name it. Of the domestic terrorism threats, we last year elevated racially-motivated violent extremism to be a national threat priority commensurate with a homegrown violent extremists," Wray testified. "That's the jihadist-inspired people here and with ISIS." Slotkin pressed further and asked how many of the cases or arrests involved white supremacists.
"What I can tell you is that, within the domestic terrorism bucket category as a whole, racially-motivated violent extremism is, I think, the biggest bucket within that larger group, and within the racially-motivated violent extremists bucket, people subscribing to some kind of white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that," Wray said." So the white supremacists are the largest chunk of the racially-motivated domestic terrorists?" Slotkin asked. Wray replied "yes" part way through her asking the question.
Sept. 23 testimony by Chad Wolf, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, that white supremacists have become the "most persistent and lethal" internal "threat" to the U.S. "White supremacist extremists, from a lethality standpoint over the last two years, particularly when you look at 2018 and 2019, are certainly the most persistent and lethal threat when we talk about domestic violent extremists," Wolf said.
SO CAL, WHAT'S THE ISSUE???????

So Cal, you edited out the part about "extremist" groups being Durbin's target, and added in that he is doing so "to seek publicity."
How did you come that that conclusion from the story?

A Dick running the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. What an embarrassment.y
The "Growing Threat"? How about investigating the mostly left wing groups that promoted riots in 2020?
Better for our Nation if this Dick were to investigate all of the riots, burning, looting across our country in 2020. What about "LEFT WINGER" groups that occupied parts of cities for days, weeks? Who specifically were those persons? What about the riots and looting in Chicago last summer? Done by left wingers and likely supporters of Democrats and the new moron president? How about investigating the origins of the group from CA that paints their logo/acronym all over even on streets? Investigate the illegitimate use of taxpayer funds by the mayor of DC to illegally paint large words of the logo on a street in that town?
Who decides just who the "extremists" are ?
The DEMOCRATS, that's who.
From banning Alex Jones to banning Trump in just 18 months,
the purge is well under way.

Yeah I would have to agree, what is extreme is subjective.
I have no doubt that to a democrat anyone who does agree with them is either extreme or dumb.
They tell us that every day.
I meant doesn't agree.
And Oh, why do you complain he left extreme off?
He has the statement right there.
The words extreme and extremist are in the original post, so he was clear about that's what Durbin meant.
I get it, he didn't use the word in the headline, that's it.
Just like how the NYT puts the full details all the way at the end.
You just don't like when someone with a different opinion uses the same tricks.
"From banning Alex Jones to banning Trump in just 18 months"
Yeah, losing corporate business partners is one of the many consequences to inciting a mob. This was all predictable if not totally inevitable.
'Someone's going to get killed': GOP election official in Georgia blames President Trump for fostering violent threats
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/georgia-official-trump-election/2020/12/01/f1d5c962-3427-11eb-b59c-adb7153d10c2_story.html
People pushed lies. Knowingly or not. Many people on this website pushed the lies and BS. Whether they were brainwashed or knew better or decided not to search for the truth…. well only the individuals who spread and fed into the BS know that answer. Hopefully anyone who pushed the BS here or elsewhere will do some self reflecting on why and how they came to push BS. Most will not. Maybe some will?
Whatever the case, Trump fueled the mob attack. He's lucky if all that happens is he loses business partners. "Getting banned" is the very very very best case for him.

Oh on 01/11/2021 at 12:18 pm said:
Sorry Neal. You are wrong on a couple points.
First, you were wrong that the joint statement was in the post (hint: "NBC has learned").
Second, to get the statement you need to click on the link. When you click on the link the statement to NBC News never uses any of the "right wing" language:
"Senate Democrats, along with the Biden administration, will work together to investigate, expose, and hold accountable domestic terrorism threats in our country," Durbin and Schumer said in a joint statement to NBC News.
NBC reported the focus will include extremist groups including The Proud Boys, QAnon, white nationalist groups and boogaloo. NBC did not report that Durbin is going after "right wing groups."
Cal incorporated NBC News' reporting of "right wing extremists" but omitted (intentional? lazy?) the most important word to describe the groups – extremists.
The above mentioned groups are right wing extremists groups.
Par for the course on this blog.

Durbin's publicity-seeking history.
Neal on 01/11/2021 at 12:47 pm said:
The definition of what is extreme is entirely subjective.
I have no doubt that they will go after any and all political opponents.
The establishment is in a panic at the moment and should not be trusted.
Unfortunately I agree with you.
The Proud Boys, QAnon, white nationalist groups and boogaloo are no longer objectively considered extreme.
They are main stream groups in many GOP circles.
Oh on 01/11/2021 at 1:26 pm said:
To your point and to my point, Cal omitted the word "extremists."
Maybe it wasn't lazy or intentional.
Maybe it was subconscious?
Proud Boys and QAnon are no longer viewed by many on the right wing as "extremists."
Many view them as main stream right wing groups living comfortably under the GOP tent.
Like many in the capitol mob, they were just invited with open arms.

According to the FBI, white supremacists pose the greatest (not the only) terrorist threat.
Even assuming such evaluation is inaccurate, if white supremacists pose any domestic terrorist threat why shouldn't they be investigated ?
And how, exactly, have Democrats banned Jones and Trump ?
I thought they were banned by private companies.
Can someone cite an instance of the government banning such speech ?
Moreover, do we want to have government compel private speech (the First Amendment doctrine of compelled speech) ?

Trump going to be impeached twice. Pence won't even talk to him and he has a direct line to God. LOL MAGA DUMB A$$. It's all coming crashing down. Should have bailed off the Trump Train while you could. Now, live with the ruins of the GOP.
As I told everyone here – Pence would not do what John Lopez prayed for him to do. God did not answer his prayers. As I told everyone here – Trump would go after Pence mercilessly. Pence would break with Trump. I still don't know who gets the evangelicals in the Trump/Pence divorce but Lopez seems to be stickling with the guy he thinks God sent. I have yet to see Lopez acknowledge on this blog Trump's role in incited the mob attack. I'll sure he'll do it just after impeachment when he sees GOP reps voting to impeach. Too little. Too late.
Maybe God sent Trump as a test to all you religious people to see if you choose a pollical party over the right thing? If that's the case, many of you and others failed His test. Maybe God sent Trump to destroy the Republican party. As Koziol points out, "God works in mysterious ways"
Just wish more people would have followed their hearts instead of a political party and con man. Oh well. Tough s***
Now all of you die hard Republican Trump supports get to reap what you have sown.

You are correct that neither the democratic party or the government has banned Trump or any other conservative.
These private companies however are ran by people who have political views that align with the democrats and they have allowed others with political views they agree with to make threats and organize violence on the same platforms without repercussion.
What the legitimate concern is, is that we are seeing a merging of the state and big corporations.
Amazon dropping Parlar further plays into that since they are now trying to control other platforms.
That completely shuts down the build your own platform if you don't like it argument.
There is hate speech, threats of violence, actual organizing of violence on ALL of these platforms. Parlar TOS doesn't allow for such things either, it's actually stricter than Twitter on some things.
The only difference is if you have one political view they allow it, if you have a different point of view, you get banned.
Twitter, Facebook, etc should remove ALL threats and incitement from ALL political views, not just those of the right.

We are at the point where one of our elected officials says they will investigate domestic terrorism, and that elicits nothing but unhinged attacks from you peanuts.
Don't we want to investigate threats to our democracy, and to our citizens?
If there is an honest disagreement as to whether a given group is a "terrorist" organization, an investigation would be helpful to settle such disagreement.
Isn't that an important part of our government's job?
You're not pro-domestic terrorist, are you?
I have no problem with the government arresting people who commit crimes such as Jan 6th.
I also demand that they equally go after the domestic terrorists who have been burning down buildings and looting all summer long.
So, I'm anti terrorism no matter what, even if I might politically agree with some of the points.
Will all the people complaining also denounce people who they agree with when they commit acts of violence?
All summer long the democrats and the legacy media did nothing but make excuses for domestic terrorism. What about when BLM stormed the white house?
Why is that treated with kid gloves but the one time Trump supporters act up everyone is out for blood?
What the h*** are you talking about?
The government did go after people who burned buildings.
Cal even posted some people who were indicted on this blog.

In my experience, for-profit companies make business decisions based upon business (typically, bottom line), not political, considerations. I'm not disputing what you contend, but neither do I believe it without proof.
And I assume you would likewise be concerned about media outlets such as Fox News, which is owned by a conservative Australian billionaire and virtually without exception broadcasts a conservative perspective.
Again, what you seem to be advocating (compelled speech by government) is, at least at present, a First Amendment violation.
Apart from market forces or government compulsion, how else would such a Fairness Doctrine become a reality ?

Get Rooted is a discipleship movement that empowers the local church to develop believers in their community through small groups. This was developed as a response to completing many outreaches and not having the follow up tools to build the bridge after events. This is a movement that was birthed through several years prayer, study, and consultation. It is a movement of discipleship.
It's a lifelong experience growing with God. Get Rooted has been created for believers across the world to grow stronger in their faith, while doing life hand in hand with other believers in the context of community. It is not just a resource or a tool; it's a movement of believers growing together, committed to radical faith in Jesus and contagious love for one another. Get Rooted isn't a program to be completed and then put on a shelf as an accomplishment. We pray it is used as a foundation in which we continually grow and develop in our everyday lives.
...to better understand some of the fundamental elements of following Jesus. Much of what Get Rooted is and does is based upon the training of leaders. The Get Rooted manual and other related content on this site is useful to supplement actual person-to-person in interaction. Our aim is to inspire people to live the way that Jesus lived: life-on-life within his circle of influence. He used the scriptures, illustrations from our world, and stories to point the disciples to the greatest realities: loving God and loving people.
...weeks in advance to launch the Get Rooted Movement. We help plant the initial launch for an organization, complete with customization of manuals, graphics, leadership training, technical support, and implementation. We hold concerts and various forms of outreach to market and recruit for each new Get Rooted launch.

Transcription has become an essential service in today's competitive business environment. Companies that are looking to improve their content marketing or reach newer audiences are leveraging transcription.
Working with a transcription services company can help you to save time and get accurate transcripts of your audio and video content.
If you are not transcribing your content yet, you are missing on obvious opportunities for marketing your business and improving efficiency.
Before we get into why transcription is important, let's start with some fun facts you probably don't know.
Transcription goes way back in ancient Egypt. During the height of the Pharaohs, transcriptionists were important figures of the courts and were known as scribes. The scribes were exempted from physical labor and taxation.
The word "Transcription" was first used in the modern world in 1598 by Joh Florio as an entry in his Italian/English dictionary.
A transcriptionist is a person that captures spoken word in audio or video files in form of text. A machine that does the same thing is known as a transcriber!
In 1910, 81% of the typing workforce comprised of women. The main reason for this was that the typewriters were designed and marketed like sewing machines.
In 1998, typing 40 words per minutes was considered fast. Today, typing 40 words per minute is considered average.
The average person speaks 150 to 170 words per minute, which is about four times the average number of words that we can type. This is why it takes at least 5 hours to transcribe a 1-hour file.
Surprised with the facts about transcription? Let's find out why you need transcription for your business.
What is Transcription and Why is it Important?
Transcription is capturing speech content, from audio or video files, into text. The content to be transcribed can be an interview, sermon, lecture, meeting, training, and so on.
Transcription makes it easy for your audience to consume your content and find the information that they need fast.
For example, training transcripts can be formatted with subheadings and bullets to make it easy to identify core information. For attorneys, transcripts can be printed and important information is highlighted with a pen.
Transcription makes it easy to pass information to your audience for various end results.
For example, for companies engaged in online marketing, videos and audio files can be transcribed and repurposed as blog posts, reports, or email newsletters for lead generation.
Transcription can also improve your website's search engine optimization to generate targeted visitors. For example, you can embed videos on your website and transcribe them to enable search engine spiders to know what the information is about.
Depending on your industry, your audience may not be comfortable with watching videos as they are with reading text documents. Videos can take a lot of internet data bandwidth, which can be expensive for audiences using mobile devices to access them. For these customers, downloading a PDF transcript of the video would make more sense.
Now that you know the importance of transcription services, you need the right partner that can produce accurate transcripts in a timely manner. You should do extensive research to find a good transcription company.
Depending on your industry, you may want to go with specialized transcriptionists (e.g. legal transcriptionists, medical transcriptionists, etc.) or general transcriptionists. Make sure the company that you choose has a proven track record of producing accurate content for clients in the industry you serve.

The Grackle, as you can imagine, was meta before meta was cool. It recently got reborn, after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and rose like a Grackle from the ashes.
There is also the Grackle Rag, which you can find online. The Grackle Rag is careful to point out, John-the-Baptist-like, that it is not the Grackle ("the Grackle is a print literary magazine which you can put on your bookshelf or roll up and use to discipline your dog").
I hope you enjoy them, but you will have to read the post to find out how to play.
Me: …"to avoid unnecessary complication".


Building off-the-shelf Lego robots can teach kids important skills like mechanical engineering, computer programming and teamwork. Now, Stanford bioengineers are adding life sciences and chemistry to the list.
Stanford researchers have developed a liquid-handling Lego robot capable of a range of experiments — integrating robotics, biology, chemistry, programming and hands-on learning into a single, open-source educational tool. Built from a cheap plastic syringe and a Lego Mindstorm EV3 Education kit, the robots are designed to pipette fluids into and out of plastic containers commonly used in laboratories.
The team also designed and tested several fundamental experiments for elementary and middle school students using their DIY robots and common household items like food coloring, salt or sugar, which are described in a recent paper published in PLOS Biology.
One of the favorites is an experiment that teaches kids about density and buoyancy by sequentially layering colored liquids with different salt concentrations into a single test tube — demonstrating that the liquids float on top of each other instead of mixing, and explaining why objects float or sink.
"We would love it if more students, do-it-yourself learners, STEM teachers and researchers would embrace this type of work, get excited and then develop additional open-source instructions and lesson plans for others to use," said Ingmar Riedel-Krus. PhD, assistant professor of bioengineering, in a recent news release.


Answers in Genes: Was Bes the god of Down Syndrome in Ancient Egypt?
Was Bes the god of Down Syndrome in Ancient Egypt?
This is a little poster I prepared for the British Human Genetics Conference in 2009. I have this hunch - dare I call it a hypothesis? - that Ancient Egyptians would have recognised Down Syndrome in people born with this condition, and may have made a connection between them and the god Bes. Bes was an interesting god - a dwarf god with a leonine aspect. He was very popular in the domestic setting, but lacked a formal cult centre during most of Egyptian history. Theophoric names mentioning Bes are relatively uncommon, despite Egypt being awash with Bes amulets and statuettes. Have a look at the poster; let me know what you think. Also, if you come across any Bes names or (even better!) Down Syndrome mummies, I would love to get my hands on some data.

"Our focus is to deal with the root causes, and I am looking forward to traveling, hopefully as my first trip, to the Northern Triangle, stopping in Mexico and then going to Guatemala," Harris said

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday she intends to visit Mexico and Guatemala soon as part of her plan to use diplomatic efforts to slow migration to the US-Mexican border.
President Joe Biden, who has moved away from predecessor Donald Trump's hardline immigration approach, gave Harris the job of leading US efforts with Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle countries - Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala - to stop migrants from crossing into the United States.
Harris spoke to reporters on Wednesday while participating in a virtual roundtable with experts who offered recommendations on the region, focusing on the core causes of migration in the Northern Triangle.
"Our focus is to deal with the root causes, and I am looking forward to traveling, hopefully as my first trip, to the Northern Triangle, stopping in Mexico and then going to Guatemala," Harris said.
Participants in the meeting included Nancy McEldowney, national security adviser to Harris; Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute think tank; and Lisa Haugaard, co-director of the Latin America Working Group nonprofit advocacy group.
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said on Wednesday his government was likely to reach agreements over migration with Harris during her planned visit to the country, but he added there were no deals yet on the table.
"(The US government) will analyze our proposals and the agreements will come from there," he said in a statement, noting a meeting date had yet to be determined.
The United States in March witnessed the most unaccompanied children attempting to cross the border since such record-keeping began in 2010. Overall, more than 172,000 migrants were caught at the US-Mexico border in March, according to an administration official. Of those, roughly 168,000 were picked up by border patrol agents between ports of entry - the highest monthly tally since March 2001.
The United States must figure out how to bring about economic development in the Northern Triangle countries to curb immigration, Harris said. Most of the region's people do not want to flee their homes but many do so because there are no opportunities to meet their needs, she added.
Republican lawmakers in Washington have questioned why Harris was planning to visit Mexico and Guatemala when she has yet to visit the southern US border.
"It has been 3 weeks since President Biden appointed VP Harris to oversee the border," House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said on Twitter. "Since then, the crisis has only continued to spiral out of control."
At a congressional hearing on Wednesday, Ricardo Zuniga, a US special envoy to Central America, said the recent increase in migrant arrivals was part of a "recurring pattern" driven by crime and poor economic conditions in the Northern Triangle.
Zuniga said the Biden administration was working to help social welfare agencies in the region to identify unaccompanied children traveling with US-bound caravans and other groups to stop them from taking the "dangerous journey" north.

Q: Parallel operation hangs in scala Scala noob here:
val pv = (1 to 100).toArray.par
Now I want to apply a map function to this parallel collection pv
pv.map(_ * 2)
However the above operation hangs. Any reason why?
Using Scala version 2.12.4 on a Mac OS X (High Sierra)

A: Seems this is caused by static initializer deadlock, see:
https://github.com/scala/scala-parallel-collections/issues/34
This issue point out in the repl, when create a parallel collection, repl will generate a wraper for it, when init, it will cause dead lock.
and it also can be reproduce in program from the:
https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/8119
object Foreacher {
  val n = 0
  val m = List(1).par.foreach(_ => n)
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = println("Hello, all")
}

Q: How to group and count a model by a has_one association's attribute? I have a station model which can have multiple devices whereas each device belongs_to a station. Each station has an address, this is a polymorphic model:
/app/models/station.rb
class Station < ApplicationRecord
  has_one :address, as: :addressable, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :devices
end

/app/models/device.rb
class Device < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :station
  has_one :address, through: :station
end

/app/models/address.rb
# @attr [String] city City name of address
class Address < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :addressable, polymorphic: true
end

Now I need two sets of data for my charts:

*

*number of stations by city

*number of devices by city

What works is getting the number of stations by city:
def stations_by_city
  # collect data
  tmp_result = Address.where(addressable_type: 'Station').group(:city).count
  # sort and return top five cities
  result = Hash[tmp_result.sort_by { |_k, v| -v }[0..4]]
  # result = {"City-1"=>17, "City-2"=>14, "City-3"=>14, "City-4"=>12, "City-5=>11}
end

Doing the same for devices by city isn't working as expected. By now I do it this way:
def devices_by_city
  stations = Station.all.includes(:address)
  tmp_result = {}
  # for each unique city
  list_of_cities.uniq.each do |city|
   number_of_devices = 0
   # check all stations
   stations.each do |station|
     address = station.address
     # check if station is in city
     if address.city == city
       # and add to counter
       number_of_devices += station.devices.count
     end
    end
    # append to resulting hash
    tmp_result[city] = number_of_devices
  end
  result = Hash[tmp_result.sort_by { |_k, v| -v }[0..4]]
end

def list_of_cities
  cities = []
  stations = Station.all.includes(:address)
  stations.each do |station|
    address = station.address
    cities << address.city
  end
    cities
  end
end

I have duplicate database lookups and it's generally quite ugly. How can I write this query in a better way? Tried various [.joins, .where, .group]-combinations but non of them worked. Adding through: :station to the device model helped at other places but didn't simplify my problem ...
Update from answer
# start join from station model
tmp_result = Station.joins(:address, :devices).group(:city).count

# start join from device model
tmp_result = Device.joins(station: :address).group(:city).count

Starting the join from device model is the fastest one:
Timing for old query
  0.530000   0.050000   0.580000 (  0.668664)
Timing for query starting from station model
  0.020000   0.000000   0.020000 (  0.024881)
Timing for query starting from device model
  0.010000   0.000000   0.010000 (  0.009616)

A: You could a joins between Station, Address and Device models and group_by the results by the city and then apply count:
def devices_by_city_updated
  temp_result = Station.joins(:address, :devices).group(:city).count
  result = Hash[tmp_result.sort_by { |_k, v| -v }[0..4]]
end

This query will do a single database lookup to get all the information.
You could start the join from the Device model as well. But you have to join nested associations for this to work:
def self.devices_by_city_another
  tmp_result = Device.joins(station: :address).group(:city).count
  result = Hash[tmp_result.sort_by { |_k, v| -v }[0..4]]
end

Powell and Pressburger's classic fairy tale adaptation of a ballerina pushed to breaking point by a possessed red pair of shoes is a film I've taken quite some time to warm up to. It's certainly easy to appreciate the spectacular Technicolor framing of master cinematographer Jack Cardiff, not to mention the resplendent set and wardrobe design, which along with the exotic locales must have seemed all the more luxurious in post-war England. However, it's that melodrama at the film's heart — the battle of its protagonist Vicky (former ballet dancer Moira Shearer of the beauteous red locks) to dance her way to success in life and love, putting herself in conflict with two powerful men, the composer Julian (Marius Goring) and impresario Boris (Anton Walbrook) — that has been difficult for me to appreciate fully. For Vicky is, like her character in the ballet-within-a-film, a pawn to forces which she cannot control, making her story a tragic and saddening one. Yet, thinking about the way The Red Shoes sets it up, these forces are explicitly patriarchal. One is tempted to cheer the love that blossoms between Vicky and Julian, yet from the start it's clear that falling for him will destroy her by putting her on a collision course with her boss and patron Boris. As cruel and controlling as Boris may be, his demands are never unclear, meaning it's Julian who ends up being the chief villain of the piece for the unfair burden he places on Vicky to subordinate her desires to his own career. Much of this only comes out in the film's denouement, meaning the bulk of the film is about Vicky's slow rise to fame, and there's much to enjoy in the staging and the performances, particularly of Walbrook as the nominal stage villain, not to mention the extended ballet sequence at the film's heart, which in some ways decisively changes the destinies of all the characters within the film.
Criterion Extras: Martin Scorsese has filmed a brief introduction to the film and particularly its restoration, presenting comparisons of how the film was beforehand (rather patchy) and afterwards. It's this stunningly restored print that forms the basis of the Criterion edition, and it really is beautiful to look at. Of course, Scorsese loves the film. He loves it more than I ever will, and probably more than you. In fact, his personal memorabilia is also presented in another extra, a series of photographs, which also includes lobby cards, posters and stills from the production. There's a short documentary made by British TV which features interviews with the (at that time) surviving personnel like cinematographer Jack Cardiff and his assistant Chris Challis, which is intermittently interesting, as well as a fawning interview with Powell's widow Thelma Schoonmaker. There's also a commentary, which takes the form more of an essay about the film by Ian Christie, intersplicing commentary from the ubiquitous Scorsese as well as from Shearer, Goring and Cardiff again (who despite his age at the time sounds in good health and is sharp about his artistry on the film). Finally, there are storyboards of the ballet sequence, and a reading from the original fairy tale by Jeremy Irons (which is an alternate soundtrack to the film, so it's quite long).

Library welcomes late artist's landscapes
Port Times Record
Village Times Herald
by Rita J. Egan - July 17, 2018

A local artist's work will live on in the community, even after his death.
Michael Kutzing, who lived in Port Jefferson for 45 years and died in 2015, enjoyed painting nearby landscapes and still lifes, especially scenes in the Setauket area. On July 16, Denise Kutzing and her family donated three prints of her late husband's paintings to the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library.

The three pieces the family donated to the library are titled "The Melville Barn," "Setauket Grist Mill" and "The West Meadow Gamecock House." The barn and grist mill can be found at Frank Melville Memorial Park in Setauket while the Gamecock house is among the remaining cottages at West Meadow Beach.
Kutzing said her husband, who was a project manager for a land development company, collected maritime art for many years and took up painting, primarily with oil, after his retirement in 2006. He was a self-taught artist who, for more than a year, owned MRK Gallery in Port Jefferson. He was a member of a number of art organizations including The Art League of Long Island and Smithtown Township Arts Council.
When Kutzing saw her husband's prints at the library, she said she was pleased with how they looked. The Setauket Frame Shop completed the paintings with earth-tone colored matting and wood frames.
"They bring about the essence of the community, and my husband would have been so honored," Kutzing said.
She said family friend Everett Waters came up with the idea to donate a few prints to the library. Ted Gutmann, library director, said when Kutzing and Waters came to him with the idea he wasn't familiar with the artist's work, but after looking at his portfolio he was impressed, especially since many were local, recognizable scenes. He brought the idea to the library board of trustees, and everyone worked together to choose which prints to display.
"They bring about the essence of the community, and my husband would have been so honored."
— Denise Kutzing
"It's a good location for it," Gutmann said. "They look like they belong there, and I think they're going to attract a lot of attention."
Waters, a Strong's Neck resident and former psychology professor at Stony Brook University, said he met the painter when he owned the gallery in Port Jefferson. Waters said he would be amazed that while talking to him, the artist would continue painting, even when creating a detailed piece.
"The level of detail, the colors, the perfection was amazing," he said.
Waters said Kutzing loved the area, and while he painted other subjects, a lot of the locations were right near the library.
"I thought there should be some way to note the fact that someone had enjoyed the place and seen it in such a way," Waters said. "Because if you see that someone sees through certain eyes, then maybe you see it more. 'I should pause. I should go see that barn. When I go to the beach I should see the Gamecock Cottage.'"
The artwork is now displayed outside the Vincent R. O'Leary Community Room on the library's lower level. Emma S. Clark Memorial Library is located at 120 Main St., Setauket.


In the early 1830s abolitionists flooded the U.S. postal system with antislavery literature, sending pamphlets and newspapers to politicians and business leaders whose addresses had been culled from directories in slave states. By this period, it was illegal in most places to teach slaves to read. A North Carolina statue, for example, claimed "the teaching of slaves to read and write, has a tendency to excite dis-satisfaction in their minds, and to produce insurrection and rebellion." Still, some of the antislavery literature made its way either to slaves who had managed to become literate or to sympathetic whites and free blacks who might defy the law and read these materials aloud at secret gatherings.
The mailings peaked with a coordinated campaign by the American Anti-Slavery Society in the summer of 1835. Tipped off to the effort and invoking the Boston Tea Party, a group of Charleston residents broke into the Post Office and burned bags of mail that contained antislavery tracts from New York. President Andrew Jackson stepped into the controversy, proposing in his annual message that "severe penalties" be established for sending through the mail publications "intended to instigate the slaves to insurrection." The Senate declined to pass such a law, but Postmaster General Amos Kendall, with Jackson's support, condemned the "revolting pictures and fervid appeals addressed to the senses and passions of the blacks" and encouraged local postmasters to circumvent the law on their own initiative. In New York City, the major conduit for the mailings, postmaster Samuel L. Gouverneur refused to accept abolitionist mail addressed to Southern states—a policy that remained in place, with varying effectiveness, until the Civil War.
In slave states, many legislatures passed laws banning the possession of such literature or, at the least, sharing it with slaves. In "A Sketch from Maryland Life," Caroline W. Healey Dall presents the heartrending case of Sherry Williams, a free black man who traveled from Pennsylvania to the east side of Chesapeake Bay, unthinkingly taking with him a hymnal that contained abolitionist songs. Although Dall was from Boston and spent most of her life in Massachusetts, she learned of Williams's story in 1845, when she and her husband, a Baltimore native, lived with his family during the first year of their marriage. The story appeared in the 1847 edition of The Liberty Tree, an annual gift book published by abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.
Ten years ago, a colored man, with an honest, straight-forward countenance and long dark hair thinly striped with grey, walked irresolutely back and forth before the window of a bookseller's shop, in the city of Philadelphia. . . .

Q: Espresso click on specific word in TextView I am running some espresso tests, and I have some links in a block of text which, when clicked, will open popup windows with data in them. However, I cannot get Espresso to click on the specific text, so I can;t even open these windows to test them.
Have tried stuff like
onView(withId(R.id.textView(matches(withText(containsString("45"))))));

but this doesn't work and just hangs up the test for quite some time.


Good morning! The big one for me today is results for the year ended 31 Mar 2013 from Vianet (LON:VNET) . Regulars will know that this is one of my largest personal holdings, mainly due to the strength of their recurring revenues (about 70% are on long-term contracts), and the strong dividends that this finances.
Vianet warned on profits in Feb 2013, but the results are not too bad, with pre-exceptional EPS dropping out at 9.8p, although that's flattered by a tax credit from utilisation of losses, and Ramp;D.
The Chairman has proved good to his word, and has maintained the dividend, which will be 5.7p for the year. With the shares at 90p this gives an excellent dividend yield of 6.3%, which supports the investing case strongly. That seems to be well covered too, as dividends cost £1.5m to pay, but the business continued to generate around £3m in operating cashflow before changes in working capital.
The interminable contract delays from the small vending division have extended out even further, yet again, and I'm now taking the view that anything from this area will be a bonus, and is probably best ignored in valuation terms from now on.
There is a threat to the core beer monitoring business from the Government's proposed Statutory Code for Pub companies. Vianet say that they are challenging these proposals "as forcibly as necessary" to see them off. No doubt the pub cos are doing the same. It seems inconceivable to me that the Government would outlaw the use of beer monitoring equipment, as that lies at the heart of the landlord-tenant relationship in the British tied pub sector.
Expansion in the USA continues, and the fuel monitoring business has greatly reduced its losses. The outlook sounds reasonable, so overall at the current price I think Vianet looks good value, so I'm happy to hold for another year and collect in the big dividends.
Someone asked whether I had a chance to look at the Quindell Portfolio (LON:QPP) Annual Report over the weekend, and the answer is "no", I was too busy doing other things. Quindell is not a priority for me, as I don't like the company at all, have fully explained my reasons why in great detail, and have seen nothing to date which even remotely changes my mind. So having a protracted slanging match with Quindell shareholders is not high on my list of priorities. They like it, I don't, and it doesn't make any difference to me because I'm neither long nor short. I also find many supporters of the share completely delusional, so you can't have a rational discussion with people who are treating it more like supporting a football club than analysing a company!
Results from Eckoh (LON:ECK) look reasonable, but I'm scratching my head over the valuation, which at £33m (at 15p per share) seems on the warm side to me, given that adjusted operating profit was only £1.5m on turnover of £11m for the results for year ended 31 Mar 2013 announced today.
EBITDA is higher at £2.4m, but I don't take EBITDA at face value, because you need to find out first what costs they are capitalising (hence are by-passed when calculating EBITDA). Although Eckoh's cash pile of £8.5m is just over a quarter of the market cap, and it looks like genuine surplus cash to me, not up-front payments from customers.
The valuation all depends on what they do with the cash. They seem to have spent just over half of it on the acquisition of Veritape, announced separately today, so shareholders should carefully look at the impact of that deal, and how it will enhance earnings.
Next I've had a quick look at results from Red24 (LON:REDT). The market cap is a bit below my usual £10m cut-off at £6.7m, based on last night's price of 14p. In a bull market I'm prepared to be a bit more flexible on market cap, especially where a company is trading profitably amp; seems unlikely to de-List.
Their figures look alright. Turnover is up 12% to £6.5m, and pre-tax profit rose 9% to £0.94m, so a pretty healthy profit margin there. Anything above 10% of turnover arouses my interest, as that tends to mean the business has some pricing power, although if margins get too high then new entrants are attracted in to compete.
The balance sheet looks solid, and a freehold of about £800k seems to have been acquired in the year. There is £2m in cash, with a £400k mortgage on the freehold. It all looks good, although my only worry is that a business this small could be overly reliant on a small number of key clients, which is alluded to in the narrative. So that increases risk. Overall it looks reasonably good, but is probably just that bit too small for my liking.
I've had a quick look at interim results from Pressure Technologies (LON:PRES) . This is a niche engineering company which I have liked in the past. Their core business is very specialised work on making amp; maintaining very large gas cylinders for use in submarines, and and oil rigs. Historically it has had somewhat lumpy results, which is inherent with this type of business, so from an investor perspective there is always a risk of a profits warning.
Their figures today look good, with a 30% rise in turnover to £16.4m for the half year to 30 Mar 2013. Although the prior year comparative figures look soft. EPS is up strongly to 8.5p, and the dividend is up to 2.6p (remember these are only half year figures). The Balance Sheet looks sound, with net cash of £2.7m, and doesn't seem to be a pension deficit, which helps.
The oulook statement is low on specifics, but talks of "considerable optimism for the future", so one would need to check back and see how previous outlook statements have compared with subsequent results. After a couple of years you get a feel for how bullish or conservative outlook statements are from particular companies, but I look at so many that it's difficult to remember things like that.
Market consensus seems to be for 16.5p EPS this year, and 22.8p next year, so at 176p the shares are probably priced about right - a small engineering company is not likely to get onto a premium rating even in a good year.
It's a good steady dividend payer though, and the forecast yield is healthy at 4.5%. Overall it looks OK to me. Could be some good upside on these with a long-term view, although the wide spread amp; illiquidity has always put me off buying any in the past.
That's me done for today, see you same time tomorrow morning.

As a deportation defense attorney, I know the barriers immigrants face to obtain a fair trial in immigration court.
However, they're small compared to the obstacles they face to get a fair trial in the arena of public opinion.
What advocate for those from other countries has not heard the deliberate misuse of labels about immigrants?
They distort the immigration debate, and have struck a deep chord with certain segments of the American public.
Over the past two decades, I've watched the subtle growth in efforts to mislead the American public on immigration concerns. Especially on the issue of immigrants who lack valid immigration documents.
Sadly, these efforts have struck a chord in the mind set of many citizens.
Take the term anchor babies. This label implies immigrants arrive in the country solely to give birth to children, who in turn will immigrate the parents.
Those who use such terminology overlook that it will take almost three decades for such a plot to be carried out, and it will require the parents to voluntarily leave the U.S. and seek special permission to re-enter the U.S.
Both of these preconditions greatly limit the opportunity for their hostile rhetoric to become reality.
They also ignore that if anchor babies created paths to legalization for large numbers of immigrant parents, a legislative cure could be easily constructed.
More significantly, they fail to acknowledge the correct terminology is birthright citizenship, a matter governed by the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Each time this term is used in my presence, I try to explain why this view is incorrect.
The difference is not minor.
To assert a person is illegal leaves no room for honest discussion about immigration reform. They must be removed or kicked-out, no questions asked.
More often than not, once this misperception is corrected, rational dialogue about our broken immigration system follows.
We may not agree on the solutions. But serious reflection is an important first step to finding answers.
Undocumented immigrants are not criminals.
Immigration law is part of our civil system of justice – not part of our criminal law system.
In fact, as an immigration attorney in Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego, I know many, many undocumented immigrants who are merely one step away from obtaining lawful status.
Contrary to public opinion, none of these actions are crimes. They are civil law violations.
In short, there are no criminal penalties for these actions.
If an immigrant has violated any of these provisions, he can be apprehended and detained. He will be taken to immigration jail. In many instances, he will face immediate deportation.
Other times the government will need to start deportation and removal proceedings at immigration court. If the immigrant loses, the judge will order the individual's deportation from the United States.
These are civil proceedings. Not criminal court hearings.
Unlike criminal defendants, immigrants facing deportation charges have no right to free counsel appointed by the court. Immigrants do not have the right to trial of a jury of their peers.
They do not even have a right to judicial review on certain types of appeals – and a lot of their supporting evidence will not be admissible at their trials.
Whereas criminal defendants have many legal protections, immigrants' due process rights and procedural protections rights are minimal.
In my view, many efforts to label undocumented immigrants as "illegal" or "criminal" immigrants are attempts to prevent serious discussions on hard legal, political, and social issues.
But you cannot resolve tough issues without honest dialogue.
If we fail to correct public misperceptions, we cannot expect genuine immigration reform.
As an immigration lawyer and advocate, it's my duty to fight for both.
Indeed, it's an obligation which falls on all immigrant advocates and supporters.
Is The Negative Terminology Coming To An End?
Since the original publication of this blog post, an unexpected ally for adjusting the pejorative terminology has emerged.
In a blog post written by Jerry Kammer, The Center For Immigration Studies, one of pro-immigrant reform's most forceful opponents, acknowledged the the "illegal immigrant" terminology must cease.
"As someone fascinated by the complexities of both language and immigration, I think the debate over "illegal immigrant" is inevitable. But I've also come to see it as a distraction from the far more important discussion of immigration policy, of what we do about this problem that we struggle to name. I have come to think that if the use of a term other than illegal immigrant will help create the space for respectful dialogue by removing an irritant that has grown more powerful in recent years, it is worthwhile to suspend use of "illegal immigrant" and find an alternative. It can add a grace note to a discussion, helping to avoid acrimony. That is why I think "unauthorized" makes good sense.
Do I believe Kammer's post will end the deliberate misuse of immigration terminology?
But it is a critically important concession by some of immigration reform's toughest critics. And that's a step in the right direction. Other opponents, though not all, will soon follow the CIS lead.
They understand that if we fail to correct public misperceptions, we cannot expect genuine immigration reform.

Police Officer Nicholas DeMutiis was struck and killed by an automobile while attempting to block in a suspect who was fleeing from police.
Officer DeMutiis was off-duty and on his way to work when he observed officers pursuing a stolen vehicle on Liberty Avenue, in Queens.

On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of New York City. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.


Motorists in Germany have been prohibited from driving with part or all of their face covered in a move that some claim unfairly targets female Muslim drivers.
The German parliament's upper house, the Bundesrat, introduced the new law to 'ensure a driver's identity can be determined' if they're caught speeding.
Anyone found with a facial covering, including carnival masks and face-obscuring hoods, will be fined €60 ($72).
The move, brought in among a host of other new traffic laws, applies to all facial coverings including masks but has been interpreted by many as a ban on burqas and niqabs.
The German parliament has previously supported a draft law banning women working in the civil service, judiciary and military from wearing a full-face Islamic veil.
German chancellor Angela Merkel announced her support for the move, saying full-face veils were "not acceptable" in the country and calling for them to be banned "wherever it is legally possible".
France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland have enacted partial bans on wearing the Islamic full body covering, and a party leader in Australia caused a stir this past August by appearing in parliament dressed in a burqa. Civil servants in Germany are prohibited from wearing full-face veils throughout Germany, and burqas are prohibited in certain public spaces in Bavaria and other German states.
