WATCH: Thai warship sinks, 31 sailors missing
Cape Town – Rescue efforts continue on Monday as ships and helicopters were working to rescue sailors from the water in the Gulf of Thailand after their navy ship sunk this weekend.
An air search was launched for 31 missing crew members of the navy corvette HTMS Sutkhothai, which sank during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand on Sunday night.
According to reports, as of mid-morning on Monday, 75 sailors had been rescued and 31 were still in the water, the navy said, citing reports by the Associated Press.

The HTMS Sukhothai, which is a Ratanakosin-class corvette commissioned in 1987, sank after water flooded its power controls on Sunday night. It was carrying over 100 crew when it capsized and sank during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand.
The navy announced an investigation into the cause of the disaster.
"This has almost never happened in our force's history, especially to a ship that is still in active use," spokesman Admiral Pogkrong Monthardpalin told the BBC.
According to Phuket local media reports, the rain that has soaked Phuket overnight and on Monday is expected to continue until Tuesday as the heavy wet weather continues to batter Southern Thailand's east coast on the Gulf of Thailand, The Phuket News reported.

This article was originally published in Independent Australia on 26 May 2016.
Have Abbott and his cohorts stitched up a secret deal with Turnbull to hand back the baton after the election? Margaret Simons once told deputy editor Sandi Keane she had a nose for news. Has it gone to her head? You be the judge!
Then, in February this year, Sydney Morning Herald's Peter Hartcher's media radar registered a supersonic blip when Clive Palmer came out with a "WTF" jaw-dropper in Question Time.
"Buffoonery or brilliant insight", asks Hartcher as he ponders how else to explain the change of prime minister from an extreme right ideologue to the only "progressive" in the party — but with no accompanying change in policy. Could there be a secret deal? Turnbull realizes his life's ambition to be PM. Having ticked that box then hands over to Abbott, say, 12 months after the election? A win-win, then?
Well, Peter, you're not the only one who's struggled to make sense of the mysterious incarnation of Malcolm Turnbull into Tony Abbott. The commentariat is awash with such questions and many column inches gobbled up on his unlikely conversion. Twitter hashtags search for answers with: #malfunction, #malsplain, #maladaptive, #malcontent. But to no avail. The reality is, the only thing Turnbull ditched of Abbott's was the "blue tie".
Mark David's cartoons of Turnbull show an orange tie above the jacket lapel with a blue one hidden below. But the hats nail it.
So, did Clive Palmer have inside intel? Did Turnbull let it slip at one of those secret dinners he was wont to have with Clive?
Let's humour the big man with a hypothetical scenario. Malcolm wins the election. A year down the track, he steps down and, horror of horrors, Tony wins the leadership ballot.
Up and down the country, Australia's pundits, commentators, psephology wonks, desk jockeys, political tragics and history buffs – heads down and bums up – would sift frantically through the clues.
Turnbull never wanted to be an ordinary MP. He's far too laid back, easily bored and egotistic for that. Evidence? Tell me what he achieved as environment minister, other than be taken to court for breaching environmental laws, or as communications minister saddling us with his third-rate #fraudband in place of Labor's world-class broadband system. No, the Lodge was his goal. So driven was he, he was once prepared to even join the Labor Party.
Former Labor powerbroker Graham Richardson revealed in October, 2003, that Mr Turnbull had sought a safe Senate seat from him. Mr Turnbull, seeking Liberal pre-slection for the seat of Wentworth at the time, labeled the claim a "lie".
However, Mr Richardson this week told The Sunday Telegraph he stood by the claim. He said there were "a string of witnesses" to the half-hour meeting with Mr Turnbull, which took place in his office.
At age 62 this year and already the third oldest prime minister on taking office, does anyone seriously think Turnbull will hang around for long after the election?
If he loses, he'll be off nursing a bruised ego. If he wins, think about it … committing to a three-year term will make him 65 by the 2019 election. The choice would be leaving halfway through that term to give a new leader time to settle in before the election, or staying on for another term — until he's 68. Does that sound likely?
So, if retiring during the 2016-2019 term was part of the secret deal, he'd have no problem sucking that up. As I said, a win-win.
But what will historians make of it? Allowing his legacy to be eclipsed by the boneheads in his party would surely render the realization of his life's dream a pyrrhic victory. But then … judgement was never Malcolm's strong point.
Turnbull is no Robert Menzies or John Howard. He might have the style but lacks the drive and substance of a true leader. Described variously as wishy-washy, flaky, unfocussed, easily irritated by pesky interviewers and, at times looking completely lost, it's clear his heart isn't in the job.
One of the disurbing signs that Turnbull's mind is elsewhere is the telling interview with David Speers of Sky News. He came across like a pompous but dithery old duffer who'd wandered onto the set by mistake from a neighbouring North Shore garden party.
The truth is, Turnbull just doesn't look convincing in the job. His failure to engage has invoked similar observations from other commentators.
If Turnbull has made a Faustian pact to sell his soul for the keys to the Lodge, then "Placebo" rather than "Placido" certainly fits. Why bust a gut and plan for the future if you're not going to stick around?
More comments this week indicate the rumour is continuing to grow legs.
Had the Liberal Party not been staring down defeat at the election, they'd never have elected Turnbull as leader. Most loathe him.
Given the bad polls, it wasn't a case of "if" they'd oust Abbott for Turnbull but "when" — and they dragged it out as long as possible praying for a turnaround.
This analysis in The New Daily ('Why Turnbull could win the election and still lose') might explain why the person who passed on the rumour to me was right about the RWNJs holding power after the election — and why a leadership ballot would see Abbott win.
Unless you're living on Mars, you now know it's Abbott's policies Turnbull is selling to the electorate — along with the unpassed budget cut nasties still on the books. As Abbott's cohorts keep saying, Abbott would have swung public opinion his way had the public only listened (oh, all right, had he been a better communicator then).
If Turnbull wins, the public will have given Abbott their imprimatur. Ipso facto: a win for Turnbull becomes a win for Abbott. Is that what you want? Is that what you bought? Is this also why the party's "right" is getting preferenced on Senate tickets?
Why contest his former seat of Warringah only to languish on the back bench? Is Abbott deluded or are we?
And, finally, wouldn't it be just like Clive, having bowed out of politics, to have the last laugh?
You can follow Sandi Keane on Twitter @Jarrapin. If you think Clive's sold her a PUP, feel free to tweet her! But stay tuned to her on Twitter. The plot is definitely thickening!

Third Round Motivation
Argyle Playing for the Chance to Repeat FA Cup Glory
Tim Herbert
IT is just a couple of years since Argyle toiled to victory in the mud of Newport to earn an incredible trip to Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup and that memorable 0-0 draw at Anfield.
The replay back at Home Park ended in a 1-0 defeat but one of the great occasions at the Theatre of Greens, and it is the chance to experience something similar that will be the major motivation for the Pilgrims when Oxford United visit Home Park tomorrow in the FA Cup second round.
It is a game both sides will fancy as being winnable and Argyle know they will need to perform better than the recent 2-0 defeat at Oxford in the league, on a day when former Pilgrims Jamie Mackie and Curtis Nelson both scored for the U's.
"You haven't got to go too far back in the memory banks for the Liverpool game and that is motivation enough," said Argyle assistant boss Paul Wotton.
"It is a home game and hopefully we can progress to one of the big teams in the next round, but we're under no illusions that it will be a tough game on Saturday.
"In rounds one or two, playing against opposition of your level or below, they are all winnable games and I'm sure Oxford will be thinking the same thing. There are tons of benefits from getting through and we will be desperate to do that.
"They [Oxford] have been on a decent run of late and they had a good win on Tuesday night [beating Rochdale 4-2]. They play good football, they've got an attacking threat.
"Obviously, Jamie Mackie, I know very well and know what he will bring. They've got Curtis Nelson at the back, so two players Plymouth Argyle fans will know. They've got good footballers and we have a good idea of the shape they will play.
"Jamie is a winner and has always kept himself very fit. He works very hard in training and, when you do that, there is no coincidence when you look at his career."

New Music Videos- Coldplay, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce
So many great music videos have premiered here recently that i decided to do a post with all of them.
First up, we have "Paradise" by Coldplay. The second single from Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, "Paradise" music video features Chris Martin in an elephant costume making a voyage to reach his band mates, who are also in elephant costumes. The video is directed by Mat Whitecross. The video was filmed in London and South Africa.
Since I did not cover it when it first premiered, I thought would talk about the video for "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" from Coldplay, the first single from Mylo Xyloto which is out in a few short days. This video was also directed by Mat Whitecross.
Even though the video to Jennifer Lopez's "Papi" has been out for a month, I thought this video was worth mentioning because it is Jennifer Lopez at her best and this is one of my favorite songs off of her Love?. The video was directed by Paul Hunter and choreographed by the So You Think You Can Dance choreography duo known as Nappytabs.
Finally we have Beyonce's "Love on Top", which I have loved since the album first came out and I even said that it had an eighties feel to it. The style used for the video for "Love on Top" was similar to the style of music videos that the 80s band, New Edition made. The video features Beyonce singing and dancing with a group of male backup dancers.
Coming soon, I will post the video to one of this blog's favorite artists, Lady Gaga. She just wrapped filming the video for "Marry the Night", the fifth single from Born This Way. As soon as the video premieres, I will have it on here.
Lady Gaga's "You and I" Music Video
Yesterday Lady Gaga released her latest music video for the fourth single off Born This Way, "Yoü and I". The music video is amazing!! It's rural meets steampunk meets fantasy meets S & M. As a special bonus, you see Gaga dressed as a man.

Pop Culture Week in Review 5/22-5/27/2011
Well I thought I would try something different. This week has been great for both me and pop culture. So many things have happened this week that it's necessary to do a week in review article.
First off, Sunday was the Billboard Music Awards here in Las Vegas, and I was down there at the white carpet taking pictures. I have to say even though I wish I could have been there inside the MGM Grande Arena to watch the show, seeing some the best performances on television was the next best thing.
How amazing was Beyonce? This woman is unstoppable force.
Rihanna and Britney Spears' performance was unbelievable. The thing that I loved most about this performance was that the general public knew that Rihanna would be performing but the producers kept it a secret that Britney was going to perform. Here in Vegas we found out that this was the case the day before when a pic of Britney onstage with Rihanna during rehearsals was leaked.
Before I saw this performance, I never cared to even check into Nicki Minaj's music but after seeing her on the white carpet and seeing this performance made me at least have an appreciation for her as artist and a fan of her song "Super Bass".
She is freaky to watch but I want to see what her facial expressions are going to be throughout the video.
On Monday, Lady Gaga's second album was released. You can read my review here. Also released on Monday was Glee, The Music Vol. 6 with the original songs from the season finale, "Pretending" and "Light Up The World".
These songs were even better than the songs they did for Regionals.
On Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey ended her 25 year run of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Mind you I am not a big fan of Oprah. I do not dislike her but I was never really into her show. Needless to say that she has had a huge impact on pop culture. Jimmy Kimmel did a hilarious take on her farewell to her fans.
Finally today after two weeks in a coma, Jeff Conaway best known for both his role as Kenickie in "Grease" and from the television "Taxi" died today. Conaway, who was 60, was put into a medically induced coma after a case of pneumonia and too many prescribed drugs. He was taken off of life support yesterday.
My Thoughts on the American Idol Finale 2011
Okay after watching the two-hour long American Idol finale, I have to conclude that this seemed like it was the longest finale in Idol history. It was good in some spots but for the most part it was bad. Here are the thoughts I wrote during the show in chronological order:

Lady Gaga "Born This Way" Special Edition Album Review
As anticipated, Lady Gaga's second album, Born This Way, was released today and Gaga's sophomore effort was worth the wait. Two different versions of Born This Way, the standard version and two-disc special edition. The album is great but take my advice: buy the special edition! The special edition has three extra songs on the first disc and five remixes on the second disc just for a couple of dollars more.
Continue reading "Lady Gaga "Born This Way" Special Edition Album Review"
Lady Gaga "Hair"
Today at 1 pm PDT, Lady Gaga released another track from her forthcoming album, Born This Way. "Hair" is the name of the track and it start off like an 80s pop song and then after 1 minute and 30 seconds, the song's bridge mixes some dance music into it. With Born This Way just one week away from being released, Lady Gaga's sophomore album shows promise of being a spectacular work. What are your opinions?

Nevada Gives the Green Light to Google's Driverless Cars
Marketplace Tech
Bryant Walker Smith: By automating driving, cars may someday be able to be lighter, smaller, use less space, travel closer together, generally use the existing roadway infrastructure more efficiently. Now that's very long-term. In the short term, we may actually see something very different, which is self-driving cars behaving more cautiously, keeping more space, taking longer at stop signs.
Drones to Soar Over US and Canada Sooner than Thought?
Ryan Calo, a researcher at Stanford Law School, tells the Wall Street Journal that he expects more entities to seek approval as drones are retired from use overseas and they become more affordable for domestic use. Does that mean we should expect positive results, though, or concerns over privacy?
"The very same drone that was staking out a nest of insurgents and possibly shooting them could be deployed in New York for surveillance," Calo tells the Journal.

Hundreds of people remain holed up in Townsville evacuation centres as authorities race to find emergency accommodation for families whose homes were destroyed by floods.
Elsewhere in the north Queensland city, several suburbs remain partially flooded as mopping up operations continue in the tropical heat.
The homeless families face weeks and months waiting for their flood-damaged homes to be repaired following 10 days of catastrophic flooding.
More than 730 homes have been found to be severely damaged and 252 completely uninhabitable following about 1500 damage assessments, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Thursday.
"That is sad news for families," she told reporters.
About 20,000 homes are believed to have sustained water impact in the Townsville area.
It's pushed the damage bill from the near-citywide floods to $124 million and rising, the Insurance Council says.
"As of 10am (on Thursday), insurers (HAD) received 10,064 claims, with insurance losses estimated at $124 million," the council's Campbell Fuller told AAP.
He also warned that scammers were active in Townsville, with fake tradies going door to door offering building inspections and repairs for cash before taking the money and running.
There have been more than 16,000 claims for personal hardship assistance with more than $1.9 million paid out so far.

Even as Townsville continues cleaning up after the floods, more flood waters are washing across west and northwest Queensland.
Graziers who last week were trying to ride out a long drought are now losing thousands of head of cattle in the floods.
Outback mayors spoke to disaster managers on Thursday, expressing the enormity of the flooding in communities such as Richmond, Flinders shire and Winton.
Severe weather warnings have finally been cancelled for North Queensland, with the weather system that caused the floods expected to move off the coast on Thursday night.
Townsville residents are again being told to leave their homes as north Queensland's flood disaster continues.
A massive monsoonal deluge that has flooded Townsville has been declared a catastrophe by the Insurance Council of Australia.

«Вогняний лорд» () — роман у жанрі історичне фентезі американського письменника Парка Ґодвіна, вперше надрукований у 1980 році. Роман розповідає легенду про Короля Артура.

Нагороди
У 1980 році був номінований на Всесвітню премію фентезі. Згодом роман було надруковано в Німеччині (). Також був номінований на премії «Барлог» та «Локус».

Місце «Вогняного лорду»
«Улюблене вигнання» (1984) — друга книга у трилогії «Вогняний лорд». Вона та «Вогняний лорд» були надруковані в Німеччині під назвою .

Оповідання
У 1988 році Парк Ґодвін написав «Уалланнах — запрошення до Камелота». Дещо згодом у Лондоні видавець Майк Ешлі надрукував це оповідання під назвою «Хроніки круглого столу».

Сюжет
Роман розпочинається з оповіді смертельно пораненого Артура, який диктував спогад монаху в монастирі після битви при Камлані. У яскравих спогадах читач поринає у юні роки Артура, його першу зустріч з Мерліном, піднесення під час службм верховному королю бриттів Амвросію Авреліану, військові походи проти саксів та його можливий крах.

Незважаючи на деякі елементи фентезі, Ґодвін прагне розповісти історію короля Артура з історично точної точки зору, спираючись на власні дослідження, включаючи археологічні поїздки в різні куточки Англії. Він повертає артуріанських персонажів до періоду часу та місця, в якому вони могли б насправді проживати — постримського Уельсу та Корнуолла V століття. Він використовує історично достовірні відповідники латинських та бритонських імен для персонажів, таких як Артос та Арторій для Артура, Гвенхвіфар для Ґвіневераи та (ймовірно) Анцелій — Ланселот.

Морган ле Фей, названий Моргана, є симпатичним персонажем у «Вогняному лорді». Вона представлена як полум'яний вождь диких людей Прідн, які живуть на північ від Адріанового валу. Однак, Ґвіневера — головний жіночий персонаж. Центральним мотивом роману Годвіна є те, що Артур розривається між його прагненням до простої радості кохання й сім'ї (в особі Моргани) та амбіцією прийняти свою долю та стати імператором Британії (в особі Ґвіневера).

This talk aims to demystify design thinking by translating "design" from an abstract idea into a practical, everyday tool any entrepreneur can profit from.
Gifted designers combine an aesthetic sensibility with deep capabilities for visualization, ethnography, and pattern recognition that are well beyond the grasp of most of us – entrepreneurs included. But when it comes to fostering business growth, the talent that we are interested in is not rooted in either natural gifts or studio training—it lies with having a systematic approach to problem solving. Like any process, design thinking will be practiced at varying levels by people with different talents and capabilities.
Using a business perspective, we'll translate the vocabulary of design, unpack the mysterious connection between design thinking and profitable growth, introduce a systematic process and share with you the 10 tools you'll need to marry the design approach to traditional business thinking in ways that enhance your ability to profitably grow your business.
What would be different if entrepreneurs thought more like designers?
1. Design is all about action, and business too often gets stuck at the talking stage.


I have a spare key ignition cylinder and keys that came with my 2000 986 Boxster - brand new in the the box, previous owner never got around to fitting it. My existing key and cylinder are clearly very worn and is becoming very difficult to turn and remove. Can I simply replace it with the new one without an expensive visit to the service dept? I have already changed the electrical ignition switch, later type steering lock and cleaned and lubed the existing cylinder with no improvement in the key turn. THANKS!

It's not difficult. Without a matching door lock cylinder, you'll need to carry both old and new keys.

Rawsthorne: Practical Cats, Madame Chrysanthème & Street Corner

July 24th marks fifty years since the passing of the British composer Alan Rawsthorne. Though he has now fallen somehow into neglect, Rawsthorne was a prominent figure of English music after the War and his inventive music and talent as an orchestrator bear comparison to his contemporaries Walton and Britten.
Here is an album featuring the debut recording of Practical Cats (a very amusing set of poems of T.S. Eliot set to music and narrated by Oscar-winning actor Robert Donat), the overture Street Corner and the suite from Rawsthorne's ballet Madame Chrysanthème, after Pierre Loti's novel.


Fresh and frozen berries are popular foods. When berries are picked for fresh consumption, they are usually packed directly without washing because they are highly perishable. Fresh berries also are commonly included in fresh-cut fruit mixtures sold as a ready-to-eat product. Berries may be washed before freezing, but they are not usually blanched or heat-treated unless they will be used in preserves or other processed products. There is typically no "kill step" that would eliminate pathogens on fresh or frozen berries.
You can freeze most fruits, but the quality of the frozen product depends on the kind of fruit, stage of maturity, and type of pack.
While there is limited commercial raspberry production in North Carolina, interest in raspberries continues to grow as more consumers demand a local supply of fresh, high quality fruit. Many ready-buyers for red raspberries have moved to North Carolina from other regions, such as the Northeast and Midwest, where this fruit is highly treasured.


The 62-year-old momager took to the social media platform to share a photo of pajama sets sent to her from Burt's Bees Baby. "Thank you so much #burtsbeesbaby @burtsbeesbaby #bbbfamjams for the most amazing collection of family jammies ever and i am obsessed with the plaid !!!!! Can't wait to cuddle up with the kids #holidayseason thank you for a collection for every one of my grandchildren #blessed #gratefulthanks for the idea @oprah !!" Jenner captioned the photo.

Kris Jenner says she "can't wait to cuddle" with "every one" of her grandchildren in the caption—of which she has six: Mason, 7, Penelope, 5, North, 4, Reign, 2, Saint, 23-months, and Dream, 1. HOWEVER, there are NINE pairs of pajamas in this photo. Each set of PJs has a nametag—in the photo, five of the sets visibly bear the name of one of Kris's grandchildren: Saint, Reign, Penelope, Dream, and Mason. Assuming one of the hidden tags reads "North," that leaves three pairs of mysterious pajama sets.
In perhaps the most interesting turn, despite the many comments calling out the KarJenner babies, Kris has yet to re-word her caption or make a comment addressing the theories.

Primecolour premium vinyl rolls are super heavy duty at 510gsm, durable and cleanable, seamless, wrinkle free and can be used on both sides. These will fit any heavy duty backdrop stand as they are quite heavy and long. Our vinyl rolls come in white, black, grey and chroma green.


These kits reflect Leonardo's fascination with the 'machineries of war' as they are the Multiple Barrel Gun or 'Mehrfachgeschutz' ('Multiple Protection' in German, according to Google Translate) and what is almost certainly one of Leonardo's most famous and most recognizable designs, a circular tank-like vehicle that runs on wheels. On the box-top Revell calls it an Armoured Vehicle ('Panzerwagen').
As with other Revell Leonardo kits, and unlike those currently available from other model companies, 'contemporary materials' are used, not plastic. These are mostly in wood, though both kits also employ cast-metal parts for their gun barrels.
The 1:16 scale Multiple Barrel Gun (above) is the simpler of the two models. It has 34 laser-cut wooden parts, (29 for the gun, five for the base), and ten metal gun barrels, plus one metal 'adjusting screw'. All these kits are scaled, although some seem more speculative than others!
The 1:24 scale circular Leonardo tank (above) is one of the most complex kits in the whole Revell series, with 125 components in laser-cut wood, plus 18 cast-metal gun barrels. The superstructure can be left loose if you wish to view the interior, and the four drive-wheels rotate if you want to run it along the ground. Incidentally, there is no engine in there - had it been built, Leonardo's design would have moved under muscle power alone, with two crewmen turning crankshaft-linked handles.
Intriguingly, the kit's 1:24 scale means that you immediately have a size comparison with other 1:24/25 scale vehicles. The most common military scale is 1:35, but Tamiya, for example, makes a few tanks in 1:25, plus there are various 1:24 scale Jeeps and other military soft-skinned vehicles. See the recent SMN article on Italeri releases.
As with previous Revell Leonardo kits, you get full-colour instructions, an explanatory booklet, and a reproduction of Leonardo's original design on cloth. It's 'suitable for framing' according to Revell.
With this pair, Revell's Leonardo series appears to be complete, a dozen kits in all. Still, there may be more sometime in the future, for Leonardo's ideas leave no shortage of design inspiration.
A fine pair of semi-educational kits. The tank is perhaps the most interesting for its production to a common scale.
Revell Leonardo da Vinci kits available here.

Q: MessageCountListener is not working with outlook email address By using jarata mail library I have developed a java library which will also allows for new mail notification. For that purpose on a thread I have subscribed to ImapFolder.addMessageCountListener() like below:
folder.addMessageCountListener(new MessageCountAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void messagesAdded(MessageCountEvent ev) {
                //processing of received new messages
            }
 });

On same thread I am executing IDLE command on same folder:
while (!stopNotificationListener && !Thread.interrupted()) {
                try
                {
                    notificationFolder.idle();
                }
                catch (FolderClosedException e)
                {
                    noopThread.shutdown();
                    logger.error("Lost connection with server, re-connecting again.");
                }
 }

Some days ago I tested this with outlook and gmail email address it was working.
But today when I am testing with outlook email address, addMessageCountListener is not triggering. But there is no issues with gmail email address.

To cancel your vehicle or boat registration, complete the vehicle/recreational ship cancellation of registration application form (F3517) .
Take this form and your vehicle's number plates to a transport and motoring customer service centre or, if you live in a rural area, a QGAP office, Magistrates Court or local police station that provides vehicle registration services.
You will need to hand in your number plates when you submit your cancellation of registration form. For trailers and motorcycles, you will only be able to hand in 1 number plate.
In Queensland, you can keep your plates if you have personalised or customised plates. If you have moved from interstate you will have to check with the relevant authority if you have personalised or customised plates.
If 1 or both of your number plates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, you will need to complete the statement on the cancellation of registration form.
You will receive a receipt for any number plates you hand in.
Before cancelling a vehicle's registration where the registered operator is deceased, the executor, administrator or next of kin must transfer it into the Estate of the deceased or to another person. This makes sure that any unused portion of registration is refunded to the correct person.
If you have a vehicle with a registration label and your registration is still current when you cancel it, you need to destroy the registration sticker and certify on the cancellation form that the sticker has been destroyed.
If you are cancelling a current Queensland registration, you may receive a refund for the unused portion of your registration and compulsory third party (CTP) insurer's premium.
Refunds do not include the traffic improvement fee and other fees and surcharges, such as the registration renewal reinstatement fee and compulsory third party levies.
A cancellation fee is charged to cover the cost of processing and refunding the registration and is deducted from the registration fee refund.
You cannot receive a refund if a Queensland registered vehicle is not recorded in Queensland in your name at the time of cancellation.
The written-off vehicle register must be updated if you are cancelling the registration because your vehicle has been wrecked. This is usually done for you by your insurance company or auto wrecker. If not, you need to complete a cancellation of registration form (F3517).
If your vehicle has not been assessed by an insurer you will also need to complete the written–off vehicle notification form (F4069).
If your vehicle has been written-off and you would like your refund backdated to the day following the accident, make sure you declare on the cancellation of registration form that the vehicle has not been used since the date of the accident.
You must also provide a document confirming the date of the accident, such as the police report or a letter from your insurer. This document should confirm the registration number or vehicle identification number (VIN) and chassis number.
Different rules may apply if your vehicle has been impounded or your number plates have been confiscated by the Queensland Police Service. Contact Queensland Police Service for more information.
You need to transfer registration from a deceased registered operator before cancelling it.

If you see a vehicle with language, slogans or images on it that you find offensive, you can make a complaint to the Advertising Standards Bureau.


The Times argued the article was both accurate and fair and would therefore not be corrected as demanded by State House.
One of the running threads in the story was that Ocampo had underrated the ability of politicians to interfere with the cases.
ICC had charged President Kenyatta with crimes against humanity relating to the post-election violence of 2008.
The New York Times is defending a story it published last week on former ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.
In a statement Tuesday evening, the Times argued the article was both accurate and fair and would therefore not be corrected as demanded by State House.
"The Times makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of what we publish. Mr (James) Verini's article was based on extensive interviews with dozens of sources in Kenya, The Hague and elsewhere and thousands of pages of court records, and was reviewed by editors and fact-checkers," said the newspaper's spokesman Jackson Chiappinelli.
State House had on Friday rebuked the paper for publishing on the collapse of the ICC case against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The article titled "the Prosecutor and the President" on the website and ""Trial and Error" in Print was published in the New York Time Magazine and featured former ICC Prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo, former Mungiki members and lawyers who gave views on why the case fell.
One of the running threads in the story was that Ocampo had underrated the ability of politicians to interfere with the cases, that the investigations had been second-rate and goes on to reveal that some of the Mungiki members had been prepared to testify against President Kenyatta.
"The New York Times continues its steady descent into the murky, rancid morass of gutter press and has abandoned all pretence of journalistic decency in pursuit of the Prosecutor's agenda," the statement from State House said.
"Relying on the fanciful accounts of unreliable individuals, discarding all attempts at balance and fairness, the Times plies a malicious, vindictive and unprofessional article on the ICC cases."
But the Times denied the charged, arguing it had made "numerous attempts" to seek comment from State House but were not responded to despite a promise to do so.
"Throughout this process, (President) Kenyatta's representatives were informed of the subject of the article and did not at any point address it. A fact-checker for The Times Magazine also emailed Kenyatta's chief spokesman and received no response," the paper said.
The ICC had charged President Kenyatta with crimes against humanity relating to the post-election violence of 2008 in which 1113 people were killed and 600,000 others displaced.
But the Prosecutors dropped charges last year in January claiming they had not found enough evidence to take the case to trial.
Before that though, Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had claimed witnesses had either been disappeared or forced to recant testimony.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo wanted ex-Mungiki leader to testify against Uhuru, claims 'The New York Times'.

Belarus Foreign Minister, Vladimir Makei, Killed By Russian Assassins
New reports have claimed that the late Belarus Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei was poisoned in a Kremlin sting operation.
The veteran diplomat and former GRU spy died on Sunday amid claims he was in secret contact with the West concerning the war in Ukraine and preventing Belarus from being incorporated into Russia by Vladimir Putin, Daily Mail reports.
A video shows Makei, 64, looking healthy on a Belarus military cargo plane last week shortly before he died. He wasn't known to suffer from any chronic illness.
Some reports say he had an apparent heart attack and that his death has 'shaken' Alexander Lukashenko who now fears for his own safety.
The tyrant has now even replaced his cooks and servants, fearing assassination by Moscow, it is claimed.
Exiled Putin foe and businessman Leonid Nevzlin alleged that Makei 'died as a result of poisoning developed in an FSB special laboratory'.
He cited sources 'close to the Russian special services', claiming: 'The clinical picture in such cases corresponds to death from stroke or heart failure.'
Makei was due this week to attend an OSCE security meeting in Poland to meet key Western politicians and officials – a session from which Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov was banned.
Nevzlin claimed that the poisoning theory 'is supported by the fact that the 64-year-old official had no health problems, was leading an active lifestyle and was making plans.
'When he suddenly got a heart condition, he did not go to doctors as he had not experienced such problems before and did not give any importance to the pain,' Nevzlin said.
He quoted a Russian toxicologist saying: 'It is very easy to poison a man so that everyone thinks he has died of natural causes.
'It is enough to disrupt the balance of enzymes in his body – the substances that ensure all processes without exception, from fluttering eyelashes to breathing.'
Nevzlin added: 'The death of Makei, essentially the second [most important] man in the state, has caused panic in Belarusian nomenklatura circles.
'But dictator Lukashenko is the most shaken. He has ordered the replacement of his cooks, servants and guards.
'Lukashenko's children have been given extra security. The dictator does not trust anyone.'
Nevzlin concluded that Lukashenko fears his supposed ally Putin is arranging 'a magnificent funeral' for him.
Makei's alleged elimination severed Belarus' remaining relationships with Western powers, according to Telegram channel General SVR.
It was 'planned, prepared and implemented on the personal initiative of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin,' the dissident Russian channel alleged.
'No-one really hides the fact that this is murder from Lukashenko.
'The action was demonstrative and aimed at disrupting Lukashenko's separate negotiations with the West and China.'
Makei 'assured his [Western] counterparts, and not without success, that Lukashenko was actually held hostage by Putin and forced to commit "unpopular" acts under pressure from the Russian president and in order to preserve the sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus.'
Russian opposition politician and human rights activist, Lev Shlosberg, 59, added: 'It is very difficult, almost impossible, to believe in the natural nature of the causes of the death of Vladimir Makei.'
The foreign minister's widow Vera Polyakova-Makei, 44, an actress and head of Minsk Youth Theatre, has not commented on her husband's death.
Lukashenko issued only a short statement offering condolences to his family and friends.
But Belarusian political scientist Aleksey Dzermant denied that Makei was assassinated.
'There are no facts that would give reason to say so. Moreover, he had a sufficient degree of protection and security.
'The causes of his death are natural,' Dzermant said.
Pro-Kremlin analyst Sergey Markov also claimed 'all the cooks and service personnel have been replaced' in Lukashenko's residence.
'Sometimes it needs to be done. A good reason to do it now,' he said.
He added: 'The Belarusian authorities have rejected versions of the poisoning of Foreign Minister Makei.
'They said that he started having heart problems. But the sudden death of a rather young, 64-year-old, prominent politician created suspicions of murder.'
Makei had held his post since 2012 and wasn't known to suffer from any chronic illness.

Local artist Sylvie Roussel-Janssens has her show Turf Wars on display in the windows at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.
Chilliwack artist Sylvie Roussel-Janssens depicts the growing tension between creeping urbanization and wildlife habitat in her new project, Turf Wars.
Apr. 25, 2011 5:00 a.m.
The sculptural installation for windows can be viewed at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve for a special Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 23, and the artist will be on-site to meet the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
It was a nature walk that she took along the scenic Vedder Rotary Trail one fine spring day that became the catalyst for the creation of Turf Wars.
The Steller's jays were calling to each other cheekily as they circled.
As she walked along, the loud crack of gunfire from the gun range also filled the air.
That feeling stayed with her long after.
The window installation features seven animals in all, and the project involves more than 100 red and black fabric panels attached to the glass with suction cups.
"With a bit of irony, Turf Wars shows how uneven the territorial battle between Man and the natural world is," she writes in her artist statement about the work.
Roussel-Janssens is often deeply inspired by her frequent walks, hikes and bike rides around the picturesque Fraser valley, and the pieces she's creating are increasingly drawn from her own personal mythology.
She selected emblematic B.C. endangered species for Turf Wars like the Giant Pacific salamander, and the spotted owl, as well as creatures like the heron, salmon, duck, caribou and Stellar's Jay.
Depicted inside each animal image is the major environmental threat they face across Western Canada and the North, such as the logging barge inside the salmon or the agricultural chemicals inside the salamander.
The Montreal-born artist graduated with honours from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, specializing in sculpture.
She shows her work frequently, and over the years has honed her techniques, making sculptural installations, as well as her complex and ephemeral light sculptures, fashioned from fabric and wire, and lit from within.
Turf Wars will be on display at GBNHR from April 23 to May 1.
Tomorrow morning starting at 10 a.m. Roussel-Janssens will be at the Heron Nature Reserve in person to meet visitors, art-lovers and Earth Day Celebration participants. She'll be performing demonstrations of the fabric-burning technique used in Turf Wars. She used a soldering iron to burn tiny holes into fabric to create the designs.
Some extra window panels will also be available for sale for $60 each, with partial proceeds going to the GBHNR foundation.
Along with the art opening, there will also be endangered species-related craft activities, and guided walks at the Nature Reserve site to help people re-connect with nature.
Herons are sitting on eggs in the rookery at this time of year, and some may even be visible on-screen inside the Rotary Interpretive Centre from nest cams.

England vs Senegal prediction, preview | World Cup 2022
admin 2 months ago 2 months ago 05 mins
England will play at home with Senegal in the 1/8 finals of the playoffs of the World Cup. The match will take place on December 4, starting at 19:00 GMT.

England vs Senegal
The England team successfully held the group stage, taking first place, while never losing (2 wins and 1 draw).
As you know, in the last round the team managed to defeat Uls with a score (3-0), and for the first time since 2006 they led the World Cup group.
Also, 9 goals scored in the tournament is the second most scored in any World Cup final, including the playoffs.
It is worth noting that it was in the game with Wales that the British scored for the 100th time in the main tournaments of the planet. The national team missed only two goals in a duel with Iran.
Even at the start of the 2022 World Cup, it was predicted that the final game between Senegal and Ecuador would determine who would claim second place in Group A qualification.
It all happened in this way – the African team failed in the first game with the Netherlands (0:2), after which they won twice in matches against Qatar (3-1) and Ecuador (2-1).
This success allowed them to become the third team from Africa in the playoffs and only the third country to qualify for the World Cup.
There is a chance to become the first team in history to beat England in this championship.
Marcus Rashford became the first Manchester United player to score three goals in a major tournament for England in a double against Wales.
Ismaïla Sarr
For Ismaïla Sarr's in the match with Ecuador, it was his fifth high-scoring match for the club or national team since the beginning of October.
England have never played against Senegal in the international arena and this weekend will see the first meeting between the two teams.
Senegal have won three of their last six matches against European opponents in the FIFA World Cup and lost their last such match against the Netherlands by a (2-0) scoreline.
The Round of 16 continues…
Who are you tipping to go through? #FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022
— FIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) December 4, 2022
In this match, the favorite of the meeting is the England team. Under Gareth, Southgate has already won 11 World Cup finals, more than any other national team coach.
The English must succeed and a great selection of players will put the African team in its place, and at the same time they will be able to do this at the expense of the quality and experience of the performers.
Prediction for this match: England win 1st half.
England win by two goals.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 027 Page 0223 Chapter XXXI. THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.
I desire to mention in terms of just commendation General Patrick, whose long experience and cool bravery were never better attested; Colonel Phelps, commanding Hatch's brigade, and Colonel Wainwright and Lieutenant-Colonel Hofmann, commanding in turn my own brigade. Their gallantry and good conduct did much toward winning the victory. I desire also to mention Captain E. P. Halstead, assistant adjutant-general, and Lieutenant B. T. Marten, aide-de-camp, who carried my orders faithfully into the thickest of the fight, and who each spent several hours in the night in the difficult and dangerous task of verifying the enemy's position. Also Captain George F. Noyes, commissary of subsistence, who stood upon the fence during the hottest of the fire, cheering on the men, and otherwise rendered me valuable assistance.

Q: Transaction with multiple DbContext and each one with its own connection on Entity Framework I know it looks like a duplicated since there are tons of questions regarding transactions on multiple contexts but none of them refer to this scenarios.
The setup

*

*SQL Server 2016 (latest preview) on develop machine or SQL Azure v12 on production

*Entity Framework 6.1.3

*.Net 4.5 on a regular application

*Application can run on an Azure Cloud Service or a VM, doesn't really matter

What we have in code

*

*A single TransactionScope

*Two DbContexts created outside the TransactionScope (it comes created by our dependency injection mechanics that are tied to ASP.Net MVC, so I left it out the scope for simplicity of the sample)

*Each context create and maintain its own connection which points to different databases on different servers(it can also point to the same server in case of running on a development machine, but still different databases).

*We use regular SQL Authentication - userId and password(just in case someone points to some post talking about problems with Integrated Security and MSDTC, we don't use it locally, since on Azure SQL it is not supported)

Our code sample
When we do something like:
var contextA = new ContextA();
var contextB = new ContextB();
using(var scope = new TransactionScope())
{
     var objA = new EntityA();
     objA.Name = "object a";
     contextA.EntitiesA.Add(objA);
     contextA.SaveChanges();

     var objB = new EntityB();
     objB.Name = "object B";
     contextB.EntitiesB.Add(objB);
     contextB.SaveChanges();
     scope.Complete();
}

What we receive
A System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityException is thrown on the call of contextA.SaveChanges() with the following messages:
Root Exception: The underlying provider failed on EnlistTransaction.
Inner Exception: Connection currently has transaction enlisted.  Finish current transaction and retry.
So, anyone have a clue on what exactly is going wrong with this sample?
We are trying to have a single transaction using multiple contexts and each context with its own connection to the database. Obviously since the data of each context is on different database servers(in production) we can't use the DbContext ctor that receives a DbConnection and shares it with both contexts, so share a DbConnection is not an option.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate any help.

A: AFAIK, distributed transactions are not supported in SQL Azure. Source

A: Distributed transactions with TransactionScope are now supported by Azure SQL Database. See TransactionScope() in Sql Azure.

'Underground lakes' of liquid water on Mars are becoming more likely
By Faye Welch 6 months ago
Smectite looks like ordinary rock but was formed by water a long time ago. Smith and his team placed several samples of smectite in a cylinder designed to measure how radar signals interact with it.
He also froze the samples with liquid nitrogen to minus 50 degrees Celsius, a temperature close to the temperature at the south pole of Mars.
After freezing the samples, the team determined that the smectites' response to radar signals almost exactly matched the MARSIS observations.
Next, the scientists examined whether smectites existed on Mars near where the original strong radar signals were spotted in 2018. They used data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which carries an instrument on board, the Compact Imaging Spectrometer (CRISM), a Capable of detecting smectites on Mars. Metal map.
It paid off. Although the CRISM technology can't see through the ice, the team found some small objects scattered across the surface near the ice sheet. So it seems likely that smectite was also below the surface and caused strong reflections there about 1.5 kilometers below the surface.
"Smectite is very common on Mars, and covers about half of the planet, especially in the southern hemisphere," Smith said. "This fact, combined with the radar-reflecting properties of smectite at extremely low temperatures, makes them the most likely explanation for this mystery." Therefore, according to the authors, there is no need to assume the presence of liquid water, which would require improbable amounts of heat and salts.
However, scientists had previously hoped to find lakes. Co-author Dan Lalish of Cornell University said: "Unfortunately, this is a little disappointing, because lakes under the ice sheet would be very exciting. However, we think the smectite hypothesis is more likely and more consistent with other observations."

There is no way to confirm what the strong radar signals are without landing at the south pole of Mars and digging through miles of ice, which is currently impossible. But recent studies have offered plausible explanations that make more sense than liquid water.
"In planetary science, we often get closer to the truth in centimeters and centimeters," Plott said. "The original study didn't prove it was water, and these new studies don't prove it wasn't water. But we're trying to narrow down the possibilities as much as possible to come to a consensus."

Reasons, Refunds, Rebates and Rights
Renu Zaretsky May 12, 2021 Federal Tax Updates No Comments
Minding the gap… The Senate Finance Committee's top Republican, Mike Crapo, asked IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig to explain his estimate of a $1 trillion tax gap. Crapo wants to know how much is attributable to asset and price growth between 2011 and 2013, cryptocurrency holdings, and unreported income from foreign sources and pass-through organizations. He also questioned whether a study produced by Treasury and the Joint Committee on Taxation has overstated wealthy individuals' share of tax evasion.
An estimated 1.3 million people could claim over $1.3 billion in 2017 tax refunds. The IRS warns that people who don't file a 2017 Form 1040 could lose more than that year's tax refund — they may lose out on the Earned Income Tax Credit, too.
The more things change, the more things stay the same. The government's economic response to the pandemic showed it can quickly mobilize resources in a crisis, but can it implement longer-term changes to support the economy? TPC's Erald Kolasi and Gene Steuerle describe how $3.5 trillion in 2020 pandemic relief has altered the nation's long-term budgetary path. In their review of the first Congressional Budget Office report of the Biden presidency, they find that "more than all the growth in revenues from 2019 to 2030 remains committed in ways that greatly restrict any new investment in the American people for anything other than healthcare and retirement."
California may soon issue tax rebates. The state is running a $76 billion budget surplus, thanks to higher-than-expected taxes paid by wealthy Californians. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed $8.1 billion in tax rebates of up to $1,100 for 11 million low- and middle-income Californians. Households with at least one child would receive an additional $500 payment. Newsom, who faces a recall vote, also would give over $7 billion in pandemic aid to help people to cover rent and utilities.
Georgia's one week fuel tax cut. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp suspended the state's 7.5-cent-per-gallon tax on diesel and motor fuel –until Saturday. Six days ago, Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline went offline following a cyberattack. It carries over 100 million barrels of refined oil products daily.
In Colorado, Democratic lawmakers propose tax relief for lower-income families and tax increases for some wealthier people. Two bills would raise an estimated $400 million a year by reducing or eliminating some tax deductions taken by high-income households and businesses. About $250 million would support lower income families and small businesses. The Democrats argue the bills would not require voter approval under the state's Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), because they change definitions and deductions but not tax rates.. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis backs the changes.

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. I expected the market to react in a positive light when it was announced that Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) would buy Whole Foods Market Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM) for 13.6 Billion dollars. However, that was not the case.
The likes of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT), The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM), and so on are down significantly on the day. Which of course is putting pressure on the overall market. What do you think about the announcement?
Crude Oil is up on the day, but it's still 2.5% lower for the week. That would be its longest run of weekly losses since August of 2015. This comes as OPEC member Libya restored production and the surplus in the U.S. shows little sign of abating.
Hello MarketClub members everywhere. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 1% today, retreating from an early record and turning sharply lower for the week. The technology sector has abruptly fallen this afternoon on what could be viewed as profit taking after the recent run-up.
The Dow is fighting to stay in positive territory for the day and week while the S&P 500 has turned slightly lower for the day and the week as gains in both financial and energy shares offset the losses in the tech sector.
Hello MarketClub members everywhere. The markets continue to climb to record levels despite the Labor Department reporting that 138,000 jobs were created last month. These numbers were well below the expected 185,000. Wages also grew less than expected, with average hourly earnings rising at a 2.5 percent annualized rate. The unemployment rate, however, fell to 4.3% from 4.4%.
Crude oil tumbled below $47 a barrel, heading for a second straight week of losses, on worries that President Donald Trump's decision to abandon a climate pact could spark more crude drilling in the United States, worsening a global oversupply.
Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Crude Oil continues to head lower after OPEC announced that they had come to an agreement with Russia and other producers to extend their production cut deal by about 1.8 million barrels per day (BPD) until the end of March 2018. Their initial deal had been set to expire in June.
Oil prices fell when the deal was extended because some traders had hoped for a longer extension or deeper cuts.
All the while U.S. oil production has climbed to more than 9.3 million BPD, close to top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Official government data showing weekly U.S. crude inventories will be published on Thursday, and most analysts expect U.S. stocks to fall by 2.8 million barrels last week, their eighth straight weekly decline. That's something to keep an eye on as oil heads lower.
Hello MarketClub members everywhere. The markets are little changed today heading into the long holiday weekend here in the U.S. This comes on the heels of a six-day rally that took all three of the major indexes to all-time highs.
The big loser this week was oil, which is currently trading down 2.15% for the week. The drop came as OPEC moved to prolong supply cuts for nine months. This news disappointed traders that were hoping for more.

William Fritz Afflis (Delphi, Indiana; 27 de junio de 1929-Tampa, Florida; 10 de noviembre de 1991), más conocido como Dick the Bruiser, fue un jugador de fútbol americano y luchador profesional.

Primeros años
Afflis nació en Delphi, Indiana, y creció en Lafayette, Indiana, donde se graduó en Lafayette Jefferson High School, en el que jugó al fútbol americano y luchó. Afflis también jugó al fútbol americano en la Universidad Purdue y la Universidad de Nevada en Reno, haciéndolo para los Green Bay Packers a principios de 1950, como un juez de línea, antes de convertirse en un luchador profesional.

Carrera
Durante los años 50, Dick the Bruiser luchó en vivo todos los jueves en la televisión del área de Detroit. Su oponente típico era "un joven luchador (desconocido)", que era pulverizado por Bruiser. Sus encuentros y entrevistas fueron tan eficaces que se convirtió en un nombre muy conocido en el área de Detroit. Su única derrota fue televisada en vivo a manos de Cowboy Bob Ellis. Sin embargo, en dos revanchas con Ellis en el Olympia de Detroit, the Bruiser fue victorioso.

Afflis, junto a su compañero y socio de negocios, Wilbur Snyder, compró la promoción Indianapolis NWA en 1964 de su viejo dueño Jim Barnett. Afflis renombró la promoción a World Wrestling Association (WWA) y se promovió a sí mismo como su campeón. Mientras él corría como una promoción independiente con sus propios títulos y campeón, la WWA tenía un acuerdo de trabajo con la AWA (propiedad del luchador Verne Gagne), compartiendo talentos y reconocimiento de sus campeonatos. Este acuerdo benefició tanto a las promociones y llevó a Bruiser a tener múltiples reinados de los títulos en pareja de la AWA, sobre todo con su compañero de equipo, The Crusher, del que fue anunciado como su "primo". Bruiser fue el primero en bautizar al mánager Bobby Heenan con el sobrenombre de "The Weasel" durante su carrera en el territorio. La WWA de Afflis corrió desde 1964 hasta 1989, cuando finalmente Afflis se cansó de perder talentos, TV, y la asistencia de fanes que iban a la World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

Afflis, con su carisma, su notoriedad en la NFL, y de voz ronca, el personaje de tipo duro era una legítima estrella cross-media, convirtiéndose en una especie de héroe en el área de Indianápolis. Él hizo su casa en el lado noroeste de la ciudad. El nativo de Indianapolis, David Letterman, nombraría más adelante la banda de su programa de televisión The World's Most Dangerous Band como una derivación del apodo de Dick the Bruiser "The World's Most Dangerous Wrestler". El apodo de "Dick the Bruiser" fue utilizado incluso en la década de 1980 por George Baier, un co-presentador del programa conducido por la mañana en la estación de radio de rock de Detroit, WRIF. El apodo de Baier fue "Richard T. Bruiser", como una efectiva y entretenida suplantación de Afflis, que en realidad lo utilizó en una serie de anuncios de televisión populares para WRIF.

Después de retirarse, Afflis trabajaba como agente de talentos de World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Él fue el árbitro especial en el evento principal de Starrcade de 1990, entre Sting y Black Scorpion.

Muerte
Afflis murió de una hemorragia interna el 10 de noviembre de 1991, según un portavoz del Hospital Suncoast en Largo, Florida, cerca de su casa de invierno. Su viuda, Luisa, dijo que su marido había levantado pesas en casa con su hijo adoptivo, Jon Carney, y un vaso sanguíneo se rompió en su esófago.

WhatsApp getting new history settings to help you easily clear past conversations
WhatsApp, the popular cross-platform messenger, will soon sport the ability for you to easily clear messages in conversations. The beta version of the app (2.11.309) has been bumped with this functionality, showing off exactly what's on the way to the live release.
If you've been holding out for a way to effectively clear messages older than a certain date, without removing the entire conversation then this will be for you.
The new feature will be located in the Settings area, between screen rotation settings and blocked contacts. Three options will be available (as shown below): clear all messages, those older than 30 days, or messages older than 6 months. It's a pain should conversations become too large to store, or you may wish to simply remove history from your device.
It's worth noting that this new feature covers all conversations and not individual threads. If you choose one of the above options, the wipe will affect all current conversations with WhatsApp contacts.
There's no word on when this feature will be introduced in the live release of WhatsApp, but we can't imagine it being far off. If you don't already have WhatsApp for Windows Phone, you can download the app from the store for free.
