U.S. Body Cameras Police Body Camera
The number of U.S. police departments outfitting their officers with body cameras increases each year, but the cameras can pose a threat to civil rights if the departments fail to set rules that govern when officers review footage from their cameras, according to a new report.
The vast majority of the nation's biggest police departments allow officers to watch footage from body cameras whenever they want, including before they write their incident reports or make statements, said the report, which was released Tuesday by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.
"Unrestricted footage review places civil rights at risk and undermines the goals of transparency and accountability," said Vanita Gupta, former head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and current head of the Leadership Conference, in the report's introduction.
Because an officer's memory of an event may be altered by watching body camera footage, doing so will likely alter what officers write in their reports. That, in turn, can make it more difficult for investigators or courts to assess whether the officer's actions were reasonable based on what he or she perceived at the time of the incident, states the report, "The Illusion of Accuracy: How Body-Worn Camera Footage Can Distort Evidence."
Here's why this matters: Without carefully crafted policy safeguards in place, there is a real risk that body-worn cameras could be used in ways that threaten civil and constitutional rights and intensify the disproportionate surveillance of communities of color.
— Vanita Gupta (@vanitaguptaCR) November 14, 2017
Body camera programs are in place at 62 of the 69 largest U.S. police departments, according to a scorecard released Tuesday by the Leadership Conference. Most of those departments—55, or almost 80 percent—allow officers to view their footage whenever they want.
The Leadership Conference report advises that police departments institute a "clean reporting" policy, under which officers write an initial incident report before reviewing any footage. Only afterward would they watch the footage and write a second, supplementary report.
"We make the case that in the interests of consistency, fairness, transparency and accountability, clean reporting should be adopted as a standard practice for all police departments with body-worn camera programs," writes Gupta in the introduction.
Some policing experts say officers should view the footage before writing a report to make sure the account is correct.
"They want to be as accurate as they can," Lance LoRusso, an ex-cop and current Atlanta attorney who represents police officers, told the Associated Press. "This specter that every time an officer looks at the video they're going to lie and adapt their statement just is infuriating because we want the officers to write the most accurate report they can."

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — A light rain in the morning that gave way to soft sunlight in the afternoon took some of the sting out of Carnoustie.
Kevin Kisner found that out with one swing that erased his two-shot lead Friday at the British Open and left him tied with housemate Zach Johnson. He hit an 8-iron that only needed to go 150 yards to clear the Barry Burn in front of the 18th green. Instead, it floated out of the yellow grass to the right, bounced off the base of the rock wall that frames the winding stream and led to a double bogey.
One shot behind were Tommy Fleetwood (65), Pat Perez (68) and Xander Schauffele (66). Perez was tied for the lead until he hit into a bunker on the 18th hole and took bogey. Rory McIlroy had another 69 and was part of a large group two shots behind.
Jordan Spieth also is in the mix in his bid to take the claret jug back home to Texas. Spieth hit 8-iron through a gap in the trees for a birdie-birdie start to the back nine, and he dropped only one shot over the four closing holes at Carnoustie for a 67. He goes into the weekend just three shots back.
Storms suspend Lincicome's bid to make PGA Tour cut: NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. — Brittany Lincicome will have to wait until the weekend to resume her bid to make the cut in a PGA Tour event.
The second stoppage at Champions Trace at Keene Trace Golf Club came 20 minutes before Lincicome's scheduled tee time.
Troy Merritt had the clubhouse lead at 15 under, following an opening 62 with a 67.

How the Bible Preps Us for Addictions
John Elmore · Aug 02, 2015
We're starting a 3-week series called Prep, a series of TED talks. Today, we heard from Jonathan Pokluda talking about pornography, John Elmore talking about addiction, and Rick Smith talking about the surprises of life. In this segment, John Elmore discusses how addictions form: we develop Desire, we Entertain, we have an Appetite, we get Trapped, and before we know it we're Helpless. DEATH. But there is hope as God has given us a way to experience freedom People of God, the Word of God, and Spirit of God.
Scripture References: James 1:14-15 , Galatians 5 , Psalms 119 , Hebrews 3 , James 5

Message Transcript
A little while back, somebody on staff walked up and was like, "Hey, a bunch of us on staff are going to do this series of talks, and I was wondering if you would do the one on addiction." I was like, "Oh, I see. Because I'm the recovering alcoholic? That's cool. So what are _you_ going to talk on? Like, self-righteousness or passive-aggressive or… Oh wait, where are you going? Something I said?" No, I want to talk about addictions, and specifically, how the Bible preps us for addictions, how God does. So I brought this. It's about my height, and I wrote all of my addictions on it. I can do so because, as JP said, I'm free. These don't define me anymore. I wrote my addictions on here: alcoholism, fear of man, status, like caring what you think about me and where I size up to everybody else. But I thought, "You know what? That's not so interesting. We can make this a little more interactive." So I went ahead and took the liberty to write all of _your_ sin struggles on here too. You're welcome. On here I also have body image, eating disorder, how you think you look in yoga pants, TV, iPhone, social media, how many "likes" you got on your last post, K2, weed, pills, porn, gay porn, trans porn, child porn. It's all there. Or maybe for you it's greed or gluttony or money or work, your identity in work. I don't know what it is, but we all have addictions. If you're like, "Hey, it's not an addiction. I have sin struggles. I don't have addiction. It's not like alcoholism…" Not all addictions send us to rehab. Let's just define _addiction_ up front. _Addiction_ is an unhealthy action that's repeated. That's all it is. So whether it's daily or weekly or monthly, if you go back to something, even though you know it's not good for you or others or honoring to God…public service announcement…that's an addiction, because otherwise, why would you go back to it? So those things I said are addictions, albeit maybe not like alcoholism, but I think like alcoholism, because you keep going back to it. Some of you are sitting here and you're like, "You know what? Actually, I don't have addictions. In fact, I don't have sin struggles. I can't identify with anything you just said. I know people who do, but I don't. Yeah, I sin occasionally, but those aren't mine, and I don't have anything that I really go back to." Let me help you. Yours is pride. It's true, because what you're saying is, "Well, I'm not like them." Read Luke 18 and Proverbs 6 later. God says he hates pride. So today, now that we've established that we're all addicts in one form or another, we're going to talk about how addictions form, how we get free, and how we stay free. In order to do so, we're going to look first at James 1:14-15. It's a Scripture where God talks about this. He says, "…but each one when he is lured away and enticed by his own desire…" Satan didn't make you do it. It's your desire that's within your flesh. "…and desire conceives, gives birth to sin, and sin when full grown brings forth death." Here's the progression the Bible describes: _desire_, _sin_, _death_. Your desire will lead to death if not checked, corrected, or stopped by God. That's just what happens. So to walk us through how addictions form, I have a little acronym we're going to walk through. It starts with _desire_. Just like this gift right here, it's desirable. When it's our birthday or Christmas, we don't even know what's in the package. We're just like, "I don't care. It has my name on it. It has a bow. It's wrapped up. I want it." Even though we have no idea what's in it, we're just like, "I want it. I desire it." That's like sin. We just want it. We look at it. We desire it. But not just that. We start to _entertain_ it, and we get closer. We don't go all in. We're just entertaining it. "I'm just going to do it once. Only on the weekends. Only on business trips. Only when my wife is away. Only on my personal computer, not my work computer. I'm never going to use _that_ money for this; only _that_ money." We start to entertain it. We think, "I'm not going to get controlled by it; I'm just going to toy with it and play with it." No one wakes up and is like, "You know what? I'm going to become a sex addict today. I'm going to go see a prostitute on my lunch hour. Then I think I'm going to look at porn before my wife gets home from work, and after that, when she goes to sleep, I'm going to look at chat rooms and try to meet somebody." Nobody does that. They just take a lingering glance or watch something they shouldn't or touch someone in a way they shouldn't to just entertain it. After you do…_appetite_. You're closer now, and you fed that desire. You've entertained it to where now you have an appetite for it. It's what you think about. You've tasted and seen. "I like that. I want more of it." You control it. You protect it. You get defensive of it, and you'll do anything you can to get more of it, because your appetite is telling you, "Get more of that. Get more of that. You like that. You want that." Once you do, then you say, "You know what? I'm going all in. I have to have it. I don't even care. I just want more." When you do, you think, "I've got it," and sin says, "No, no. I've got _you_," and you're _trapped_, because what is within here is a 300-pound bear trap. You didn't get sin; sin got you. Once you realize you're trapped, you're _helpless_. _DEATH_. Your desire leads to death, because sin is a spiritual problem, and we're just human. We have no power over sin. We have no ability over sin. We can't get up. We're dead, and apart from God, we're not only dead and trapped and helpless in _this_ life but we will spend eternity in hell, separated from God and all goodness. That's serious. So God looks and sees us in our sinful state, helpless, there lying on the ground, and so he sent Jesus, God in flesh, the only begotten, who lived a sinless life, died in our place, crucified between two criminals, laid in the grave, and on the third day rose again. When he rose, we were set free from sin, and the sins that previously defined us were laid upon Christ. They're no longer there. They're gone. Jesus took them upon himself. Not only that. Who's in the trap right now? Jesus. Not us. Romans 6 says we've been set free from sin. We are no longer slaves to sin. Not only that. I'm not holding this cross up anymore, because that cross no longer stands in Jerusalem. Jesus has been raised from the dead. We've been raised with him and are no longer slaves to sin. That is how we are free from addiction. If you have not trusted Christ yet, you trust Christ for your salvation, to be freed from the penalty of sin, death, and hell. If you _have_ trusted Christ and you're like, "But I still feel like I'm in the bear trap. I trusted Christ. I know I have a new life, but I still feel addicted; I still go back to those things I want to do," then you look to God on how to stay free, how to keep free from your addiction. The three most powerful gifts God gave us against addiction are these: the _people of God_, the _Word of God_, and the _Spirit of God_. _People of God._ JP already talked about this once. James 5:16: **"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed."** Someone after this service, I guarantee you, will tell me, "Hey, I've pleaded with God. I've been addicted since I was 13. I have cried to God, 'Will you please take this away from me?' and he hasn't. Why won't he?" I'll say, "Well, have you told anyone? Have you told your spouse, your Community Group, your church?" "No. I could never do that." "Okay. Well, you're going to die and you're going to go to heaven, but you'll be addicted for the rest of your life." "Oh, so you're saying God is not powerful enough?" "No, God is powerful enough. You just aren't following what he says: to confess and bring it out into the light. Not so that you may be embarrassed or ashamed or condemned or ostracized but so that you may be healed. It's for healing." Now that's _reactive_, after you sin, but there is a _proactive_ way. It's Hebrews 3:13. It says, "Encourage one another daily, so that you would not be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin." Sin is deceitful. It appears desirable, and we start to go toward it, and we need brothers and sisters who say, "What are you doing? Don't go there. Don't touch that. Don't even get near it. You know that almost killed you, destroyed your marriage, ruined your relationship, got you fired. Don't go near that." The Bible says we need that daily. Not just Sunday, not just Community Group, not just Porch. Daily we need to be reminded and to remind each other. Also the _Word of God_. Psalm 119:11 says, **"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."** There is something spiritually, supernaturally powerful… When we memorize and spend time in God's Word, it keeps us from sin. When you memorize it, it serves as a warning system. God will bring those Scriptures to mind as you get close to those sins, help you to shepherd others. It will transform and renew your mind. It will change your appetites. Then the most powerful: the _Spirit of God_. There's one verse I share more than any other with the men who are in re:generation, the ones who are struggling with addictions and sin struggles. It's Galatians 5:16. In that verse there is a command and then a promise. The command says, **"So I say, walk by the Spirit…"** That's the command: walk by the Spirit. Then the promise. **"…and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."** In the Greek it has an expanded meaning that we lose in the English. _Walk_ is present tense continuous, meaning walk all day every day with God. "Not just during your quiet time, not just when you pray before bed, but all throughout the day walk with me. As you do, you won't do those things you don't want to do. I'll keep you from the desires of the flesh." Just like if I went home with you today and I got in your car and I was awkwardly sitting in the back seat. I'm like, "Where are we going to lunch?" You'd be like, "Are you still here?" Then afterwards, I laid down beside you to take a nap innocently, and you're like, "You're creepy." Then you got out your iPhone. I'm like, "What are you looking at? You aren't going to look at that, are you? Put that away." It would be awkward, but you wouldn't give yourself… "Don't talk to your wife that way. Hey, hey, hey. Calm down." Because I'd be walking with you. But that's just me. How much more God? He will keep you from doing the things you don't want to do. We all struggle with addictions. They all lead to death. Jesus set us free. The people of God, the Word of God, the Spirit of God keep us free from sin. Thanks be to God.

Improvement of farmer livelihoods in South Sudan depends largely on agricultural activities, which account for about 80% of employment. More than 1.25 million farming families are involved in agricultural input and output value chain activities. Depending on their geographic location and agro-ecologies, South Sudanese farmers practise traditional subsistence agriculture in which crop production, wild food crop collection, rearing livestock and fishing are combined in undefined ratios (Bigirwa and DeVries, 2010). Subsistence farming is not effective or sufficiently efficient to supply the surpluses needed to feed large numbers of returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), who continuously add to a rapidly growing number of rural and urban consumers.
Agricultural practices in South Sudan could be broadly categorised into mixed cultivation in the 'green belt', where maize, cassava, upland rice, sorghum and legumes as well as tropical fruits are grown along the southern borders with Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); and the Ironstone Plateau and semi-arid zones in the central, eastern and northern regions that focus more on livestock rearing, including extensive cultivation of sorghum, groundnuts and sesame in addition to niche market crops.
Over 50% of the land in South Sudan has high potential for agriculture. In these high potential areas,climate and soils are suitable to grow a wide range of both field and horticultural crops. Most farmers practise shifting cultivation, with an average cultivated area of two feddans (0.84 ha) per household. According to FAO (2011), the average yield of cereal production over the past ten years is less than 800 kg/ha. The major factor contributing to low yields is widespread use of seeds of local cultivars or landraces with poor genetic potential. Local varieties and landraces often have yield potential of less than 1 tonne (t) on a hectare of land. The farmers do not use quality seeds as they have limited access to improved varieties, there are inadequate supplies of seed, and prices are high.

Founded by former journalists, MediaSource is well positioned to assist hospitals in the shift to content marketing.
A content-focused PR agency specializing helping health care organizations adopt a brand journalism approach to their communications, MediaSource was founded by former journalists—putting the agency in a unique position to guide clients who recognize the need to update their old PR and marketing philosophies to a content-centered brand journalism approach. MediaSource's approach and successes have earned it the Grand Prize in the "Health Care Agency/Team" category of Ragan's 2016 Health Care PR and Marketing Awards.
MediaSource's structure is one reason the agency succeeds in these projects. Rather than take the traditional PR approach of account managers and generalists, MediaSource has content creation teams and media relations teams, both of which focus on the healthcare consumer as the target audience.
The agency's newsroom mentality involves assigning team members to client "beats," which are often a hospital's service lines (a team member could be assigned the cancer beat or the childbirth beat, for example). The media relations strategy focuses on newsjacking, increasing the content's appeal to journalists.
As a result of these efforts, MediaSource has reached an audience of nearly 28 billion for its top seven clients, placing nearly 20,000 articles and leading to nearly 3,000 new patients.
Congratulations to Lisa Arledge Powell, Clark Powell, Shannon McCormick, Jerred Ziegler, Robert Leitch, Kevin Volz, Garry Checki, Kelly Stincer, Colleen O'Morrow, Drew Schaar, Kristina Feduik, Rocky Sanguinetti and Lisa Renee Martyn.

Today is a mani that is all me. I needed to do one with colors I love. Plus I did a bunch of really cool background pics for you to tell me which ones you like again.
I left you last post, hinting about the new work issue. It seems that every day there is a new bad thing. It's kind of getting old.
This new topic? The dress code. Yes people, none of us are in compliance with the dress code. We are to be naked from the elbows down. Yet the dress code states that this is a RECOMMENDATION from Epidemiology, not mandatory. You've all seen my bracelets-I am not giving them up without a fight. Plus, I don't do the patient care they are talking about. If I were, it would be different.
There is also no way I'm taking off my Pandora bracelet. Nope, not happening my friends. Plus, my BFF just got me a new blue bead with hearts on it for my birthday. I just got it and put it on the other day. She rocks!
Why the issue with the dress code now? Apparently, one of the workers in the chemo room wears a wrist brace for medical reasons. This is NOT acceptable according to people who have NEVER worked on a patient before. Don't you just love how the bureaucracy makes up policies and they've never even done the work they are making the rules for?? It's a load of crap that's for sure. So that person has been banned from giving chemo now due to MEDICAL issues and having to wear a brace-and this brace is washable mind you. It's so stupid.
So now there is one less nurse able to hang chemo and this nurse has now made it her mission to get the rest of us in trouble for wearing watches, bracelets etc. How can you be a nurse and not wear a watch? It's unthinkable. All I know is I'm not changing a damn thing until someone comes to me and says that is unacceptable. It's just like when I got in trouble for having pink in my hair. Until someone said to me-you can't do that, you bet I'm going to do that.
Until then, the bracelets stay on people!
Here is the silly bottle shot.
This is Colors by Llarowe Young Grasshoppa, Liquid Sky Lacquer Head to the Bahamas and CbL Burnt Sugar.
Holy crap, look at all that bling! I am in love with this color combo!!!!
Next I did tape and dots and a bunch of backgrounds. You tell me which ones you like.
It's insane how holo-y these polish are. I am in love with this one for sure. I could not stop staring at them.
Which picture do you like? I had more, but decided not to overwhelm you!


You have decided to buy a new car, and you have your heart set on a specific model, in a specific colour with very specific extras. Given the amount of money you are about to spend on your car, it makes sense that you expect to drive away with a car that ticks all your boxes.
Buying a new car can be daunting, especially given the money you are likely to spend and the amount of choice available. But it doesn't have to be a stressful experience if the buyer has the power during the purchase, and the best way to get it is online.
Another buyer Beat the Price!
Congratulations to Mr Gatyeni who Beat the Price with his new Nissan NP200.

Into the Darkest Corner: The Importance of Addressing Factor-Based Particularity in Relation to Domestic Violence Experiences in Post-Modern Literary Theory
This paper investigates how a survivor of a violent marital relationship could awaken and take positive counteraction against her oppressive husband, rather than remaining entrapped in a state of 'learned helplessness'. The central contribution of this paper lies in highlighting particularity rather than sameness when investigating how oppression and male domination could function as factors that trigger positive counteraction and lead to the liberation of the silenced protagonist in Elizabeth Haynes' novel Into the Darkest Corner. The model highlighted for the purpose of examination is Catherine, the protagonist of Elizabeth Haynes' novel Into the Darkest Corner. The paper mainly focuses on addressing two questions 'What are the protagonist's violence experiences?' and 'What are the factors that served to reinforce and prolong the protagonist's oppressive marriage?'. The struggle of the protagonist to put an end to her abusive marriage, and how she managed to overpower her post-traumatic stress disorder experience constitute the focal point of this paper, and are explored from a feminist psychoanalytical perspective, a task that has not been addressed in the available literature on domestic violence in relation to feminist and psychoanalytic criticism up to date. In order to investigate these aspects in the novel, this paper draws on the views of post-modern feminist literary theory. This literary approach is crucial to highlighting the gender-based inequality imposed on the protagonist by her abusive husband throughout the novel. The analytical approach followed in this paper is that of thematic analysis. The paper mainly highlights the recurrent themes of physical violence and post-traumatic stress disorder. Then, the paper examines the content of the novel to support the argument about the association between post-traumatic stress disorder and liberation. Thus, three main issues are addressed: Domestic violence types and definitions, feminist theoretical views in relation to male domination, and notions of post-traumatic stress disorder in relation to liberation in feminist post-modern literary criticism. The main argument in this paper is that post-traumatic stress disorder is not an introductory psychological phase that paves the way for learned helplessness. Rather, it is a state imposed by male domination and control that could be challenged, controlled and directed to lead to liberation from male authority and oppression with the availability of proper assistance.

Emily. Carer. Artist. Ukulele enthusiast.
"I've learnt so much from being involved and have become a lot more confident, and made a lot of friends. My mum has had the most amazing life; she's sick, but that doesn't make her any less valuable."
How did you get involved with On Fire?
I got involved through my mum; she was talking about her struggle with mental illness and someone suggested On Fire, advising there were all these free programs and that they would like to help out. I was really struggling at the time, I wasn't really leaving the house much because I didn't really feel like doing anything and mum suggested I go join the program, as a good way to get out there. Everyone made a real effort to make me feel included and I wasn't being ignored or anything.
What has being involved with the program done for you?
It's done so much, I learned so much about taking care of myself. I was really struggling with social anxiety, I don't really know how to make friends that well, even though I loved being with people. Being with a group of people that just wanted to be with me, it really helped with my confidence. I learned a lot more skills and had the opportunity to speak in front of people. I feel so much more confident because of the program.
What's your vision for the future of mental health care in Australia?
I still see heaps of stigma and I don't really know a lot of people that properly understand mental health. I was talking with one of my friends the other day and she's talking about how she saw these people in the street mumbling to themselves and she described them as 'crazy', If I saw someone like that, I wouldn't be scared of them at all because I know that they could be schizophrenic or they have some sort of mental illness but that it's nothing to be afraid of. When you see that they're just ill, you know that it's not that dangerous. I think my main vision would be for that kind of understanding.

INTERVIEWS December 8, 2017
Julian Priester: Reflections in Positivity
By Paul Rauch
My task for the day was to interview legendary trombonist/composer, and jazz icon, Julian Priester. We had met a few times over my 35 years of frequenting the jazz scene in Seattle, coinciding with Priester's years teaching at the esteemed Cornish College of the Arts. In anticipation, I had spent nearly two months preparing, reacquainting myself for that which I already knew-that Julian Priester is a jazz legend that has played an amazing role in the evolution of the music. ...
Julian Priester/Pepe Mtoto: Love, Love
By John Kelman
With ECM's gradual reissue of titles that have previously been unavailable on CD, the label is providing an opportunity to reconnect with some of the early albums that created such remarkable brand loyalty amongst older fans. Equally, it's giving new listeners the chance to hear exactly why the label's emergence in the early '70s represented such a fresh and significant event in modern jazz, allowing the label to quickly build a reputation for diverse and uncompromising music that continues to ...

Julian Priester
By AAJ Staff
Submitteed on behalf Jonathan Davidson. When you hear the name Julian Priester, you probably think of all of the amazing recordings in which the jazz trombonist participated. You may also wonder what he's been up to in the past couple of decades. He last visited our fair city some 5 years ago. Fortunately, he will break that musical fast in a matter of weeks and, to be sure, he has been very busy over the last 25 ...
ALBUM REVIEWS February 4, 2003
Julian Priester: In Deep End Dance
Since his mid-'90s recordings with Sam Rivers and Reggie Workman, trombonist Julian Priester has maintained a low profile, his voice sorely missed. Well established through his work with Sun Ra, Dave Holland, Max Roach, and Herbie Hancock, the trombonist (approaching his late 60s) seemingly has recovered fully from the liver transplant surgery he underwent in 2000. His new recording, In Deep End Dance, thankfully proves his relative silence is a thing of the past. Recorded just over 40 years after ...
ALBUM REVIEWS December 8, 2002
By Jerry D'Souza
Julian Priester has been a presence on several outstanding recordings from Dave Holland, Anthony Braxton, Sun Ra, and Booker Little--to name a few--besides playing in the bands of Duke Ellington and John Coltrane. His role as a leader has been very limited, and a new album where he leads a band of talented musicians is definitely welcome.
Priester moulds a song with craft. He leads with a slow development of the theme, almost a lazy excursion into the ...
Julian Priester & Sam Rivers: Hints on Light and Shadow
By Glenn Astarita
Man vs. Machine was a common phrase or term often heard during the infancy of analog synthesizers, especially when jazz and/or classical artists decided to meld acoustic instruments with electronics. Saxophonist-composer-improviser Anthony Braxton's infamous and often intriguing duets with synthesist Richard Teitelbaum come to mind, yet history dictates that many of these engagements in general, represented nothing other than mere experiments featuring little if any musical value. On Hints on Light and Shadow, renowned jazz luminaries – saxophonist Sam Rivers ...

Fast Track Work on UP Defence Corridor Plan by officials Lauded by Defence Minister
Posted on February 23, 2018 by Aerodef in Government
'The details of the defence corridor announced by the Prime Minister on February 21, 2018, were worked out in 18 days' time," Sitharaman said at the 'Defence and Aerospace Investment Opportunities in Uttar Pradesh', part of the ongoing 'Investors Summit-2018″, in Lucknow.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 22, 2018, lauded officials for working out in a very short span of time the details of the defence industrial corridor in Uttar Pradesh which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 21, 2018.
'The details of the defence corridor announced by the Prime Minister were worked out in 18 days' time," Sitharaman said at the 'Defence and Aerospace Investment Opportunities in Uttar Pradesh', part of the ongoing 'Investors Summit-2018″ in Lucknow.
"When Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had come to extend an invitation for the summit on February 2 there was a reference about the corridor," she said.
She said she had mentioned then that if Uttar Pradesh is willing or shows interest then "we will be able to do something… I had mentioned this to the Prime Minister and he immediately asked us to go ahead with it".
Praising the bureaucracy of both the Centre and the state, she said: "The speed with which we were asked to go about the project and the promptness with which the Chief Minister directed his officials to act on it…officials worked together in complete coordination and there was no complaint from anywhere and Prime Minister made an announcement in 18 days time."
She said Bundelkhand will benefit from the corridor.
Sitharaman said the atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh in the past 20-25 years did not give any encouragement to industry.
Adityanath said earlier that there are immense possibilities for the defence corridor in the state. 'There are immense possibilities for defence corridor as well as aerospace."

Here's How to Watch and Stream the 2018 CMT Awards
Every big name is country music is going to be there!
By Jennifer Aldrich
The 2018 CMT Awards is shaping up to be the best ceremony yet: Kelly Clarkson is performing (marking her CMT debut), Little Big Town is hosting the show for the first time, and the night will be full of performances by country music's biggest names including Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Chris Stapleton. Even if you can't make it to Music City, you won't want to miss a minute of country's star-studded night. Here's how to tune in.
When the CMT Awards Are On
The show will air on Wednesday, June 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CMT. The awards will be broadcasted live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. If you miss any part of it, it will be rebroadcast again at 10:35 p.m. ET/PT.
Unlike other awards shows that are decided by academy members, the CMT Awards winners are all chosen by fans. To make sure your favorite takes home a trophy, vote for them on the CMT website. Voting closes on Monday, June 4 at 12:01 a.m. EST.
This content is imported from {embed-name}. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
You can obviously watch on the CMT channel, but the network also has an official app available for Apple and Android users where you can watch the awards by signing in with your TV provider. You can also watch on the CMT website, again, by logging in with a cable provider. Streaming sites such as Hulu and Sling also have the CMT channel, which you can access with a subscription.

From octopus to crispy pig ears, find unique dishes with Spanish flair on Oltorf.
Odd Duck is turning one year old and to thank all the loyal patrons, the team will be throwing a huge #trailerthrowack bash. On December 9th, the same day the trailer and the restaurant opened, five years apart, odd DUCK will be in party mode. Friends, family and fans can mosey in all night and enjoy beer and wine, as well as the odd DUCK Farm To Trailer food from the days of yore. The chefs will be serving grits with soft poached duck eggs, grilled broccoli and for one night only, the dish making the ultimate comeback, Gilmore's famous pork belly slider.
Entry into the party is a minimum donation of $25 and a portion of the proceeds from the event will go towards Zilker Elementary's Edible Schoolyard program. A silent auction will be running all night to raise further funds for the school, a recent partnership designed to create gardens at the school and eventually become a part of the curriculum, allowing kids to learn where their food comes from, and how to grow their own food at an early age.
Come for the celebration, stay for the pork belly sliders and help a cause near and dear to the hearts of all the odd ducks.

Chanderi fort is located on top of a hill, at a level of 71 meters above the town and was built during the Mughal period. The fort has 5 km fortification walls that were built to protect it from outsiders. The original Chanderi fort was constructed by 11th century king Kirti Pal. Chanderi fort has faced many attacks and has been rebuilt multiple times.

"It doesn't mean they're listening to every call. It means they're storing every call and have the capacity to listen to them at any time." ~Glenn Greenwald (The Guardian)

Prism leak indicates real-time surveillance, says paper
Fresh details about Prism have emerged after the Washington Post published four more leaked slides detailing the US internet surveillance programme. The paper says the documents indicate the FBI has installed equipment on the property of certain US-based tech firms and passes on retrieved data to the CIA and National Security Agency (NSA). It says in some cases the NSA may be provided with live notifications about a target's activity in "real time". Critics have raised privacy concerns. "Prism is the most egregious example of NSA overreach that we've seen in the last 10 years or so," Eric King, head of research at London-based campaign group Privacy International, told the BBC.
"The fact that this material is being shared with the Brits at GCHQ raises serious concerns about the legal regime that is in place for processing the information". The leaked presentation has named the sources of the data as Microsoft and its Skype division; Google and its YouTube division; Yahoo; Facebook, AOL, Apple and PalTalk. According to the Washington Post, the NSA may gain access to users' "emails, attachments, address books, calendars, files stored in the cloud, text or audio or video chats and 'metadata' that identify the locations, devices used and other information about a target".
In addition to stored data, the paper says the FBI can also pass on details of targets' live activities to allow "real-time surveillance" of their use of at least some of the tech firms' services.

Edward Snowden's statement released through WikiLeaks – full text
July 1st 2013
One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful.
On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions.
This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me.
For decades the United States of America have been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.
In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised – and it should be.
I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many.

Washington Post releases four new slides from NSA's Prism presentation
The Washington Post has released four previously unpublished slides from the NSA's PowerPoint presentation on Prism, the top-secret programme that collects data on foreign surveillance targets from the systems of nine participating internet companies. The newly published top-secret documents, which the newspaper has released with some redactions, give further details of how Prism interfaces with the nine companies, which include such giants as Google, Microsoft and Apple. According to annotations to the slides by the Washington Post, the new material shows how the FBI "deploys government equipment on private company property to retrieve matching information from a participating company, such as Microsoft or Yahoo and pass it without further review to the NSA".
The new slides underline the scale of the Prism operation, recording that on 5 April there were 117,675 active surveillance targets in the programme's database. They also explain Prism's ability to gather real-time information on live voice, text, email or internet chat services, as well as to analyse stored data. The 41-slide PowerPoint was leaked by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden to the Guardian and Washington Post, with both news organizations publishing a selection of the slides on 6 June.
The revelation of a top-secret programme to data-mine digital information obtained with the co-operation of the nine companies added to a storm of controversy surrounding the NSA's surveillance operations. Several of the participating companies listed on the third new slide released by the Washington Post – Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple – denied at the time of the initial publication that they had agreed to giving the NSA direct access to their systems. Google told the Guardian that it did not "have a back door for the government to access private user data".

Germany ready to charge UK and US intelligence over alleged bugging operations
Germany's Federal Prosecutor's office said it was preparing to bring charges against British and US intelligence today amid fresh allegations that the services spied far more extensively than thought on German phone and internet traffic and bugged European Union offices in America. A report alleging a major and continuous US National Security Agency spying operation in Germany was published by Der Spiegel magazine today, prompting outrage from Berlin MPs still reeling from reports about extensive British surveillance in their country. The German Justice Minister, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenburger, demanded an immediate explanation and said the behaviour of the intelligence services was "reminiscent of the actions against enemies during the Cold War". "It defies belief that our friends in the US see the Europeans as their enemies," she said.
The leak, which Der Spiegel said came from fugitive ex-CIA analyst Edward Snowden, claimed that the NSA tapped into half a billion German phone calls, emails and SMS messages each month. Reports last week revealed extensive tapping of German phone and internet traffic by British intelligence under its so-called Tempora programme. The information was said to be shared with the NSA. A spokesman for the Federal Prosecutor said the office was preparing to bring charges against "persons unknown" in relation to the reports.

New NSA leaks show how US is bugging its European allies
US intelligence services are spying on the European Union mission in New York and its embassy in Washington, according to the latest top secret US National Security Agency documents leaked by the whistleblower Edward Snowden. One document lists 38 embassies and missions, describing them as "targets". It details an extraordinary range of spying methods used against each target, from bugs implanted in electronic communications gear to taps into cables to the collection of transmissions with specialised antennae. Along with traditional ideological adversaries and sensitive Middle Eastern countries, the list of targets includes the EU missions and the French, Italian and Greek embassies, as well as a number of other American allies, including Japan, Mexico, South Korea, India and Turkey. The list in the September 2010 document does not mention the UK, Germany or other western European states.
One of the bugging methods mentioned is codenamed Dropmire, which, according to a 2007 document, is "implanted on the Cryptofax at the EU embassy, DC" – an apparent reference to a bug placed in a commercially available encrypted fax machine used at the mission. The NSA documents note the machine is used to send cables back to foreign affairs ministries in European capitals. The documents suggest the aim of the bugging exercise against the EU embassy in central Washington is to gather inside knowledge of policy disagreements on global issues and other rifts between member states.
Berlin accuses Washington of cold war tactics over snooping
Transatlantic relations plunged at the weekend as Berlin, Brussels and Paris all demanded that Washington account promptly and fully for new disclosures on the scale of the US National Security Agency's spying on its European allies. As further details emerged of the huge reach of US electronic snooping on Europe, Berlin accused Washington of treating it like the Soviet Union, "like a cold war enemy". The European commission called on the US to clarify allegations that the NSA, operating from Nato headquarters a few miles away in Brussels, had infiltrated secure telephone and computer networks at the venue for EU summits in the Belgian capital. The fresh revelations in the Guardian and allegations in the German publication Der Spiegel triggered outrage in Germany and in the European parliament and threatened to overshadow negotiations on an ambitious transatlantic free-trade pact worth hundreds of billions due to open next week.
The reports of NSA snooping on Europe – and on Germany in particular – went well beyond previous revelations of electronic spying said to be focused on identifying suspected terrorists, extremists and organised criminals. Der Spiegel reported that it had seen documents and slides from the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden indicating that US agencies bugged the offices of the EU in Washington and at the UN in New York. They are also accused of directing an operation from Nato headquarters in Brussels to infiltrate the telephone and email networks at the EU's Justus Lipsius building in the Belgian capital, the venue for EU summits and home of the European council. Citing documents it said it had "partly seen", the magazine reported that more than five years ago security officers at the EU had noticed several missed calls apparently targeting the remote maintenance system in the building that were traced to NSA offices within the Nato compound in Brussels.
Glenn Greenwald Previews the Guardian's Next NSA Surveillance Document Leak
Glenn Greenwald previewed a yet-to-be-published document about the National Security Agency surveillance program during a speech at the Socialism 2013 Conference in Chicago on Friday night. Speaking via Skype (hence the blurry photo above), Greenwald said the Guardian is planning to publish a document showing that new technology allows the National Security Agency to direct one billion cell phone calls every day into its data repositories. "What we are really talking about here is a globalized system that prevents any form of electronic communication from taking place without its beings stored and monitored by the National Security Agency," Greenwald told the liberal crowd. "It doesn't mean they're listening to every call. It means they're storing every call and have the capacity to listen to them at any time."
In his speech, Greenwald excoriated the press for criticizing former contractor Edward Snowden's decision to leak the NSA documents, saying a climate of fear permeates investigative journalism and cripples the mainstream reporters' ability to speak truth to power."In their minds, the only kinds of leaks that are bad are leaks that the government doesn't want disclosed to the public," Greenwald said. "The only thing that is journalism to them is when they carry forth the message that has been implanted in their brains by the political officials whom they serve. And I think this behavior highlights the true purpose of establishment journalism more powerfully than anything I or anybody else have ever written."
His full remarks start around the 10:30 mark:

A study on limited attention span and social media.
Does anyone even know what "news" means anymore? The politicians make daily cries against fake news. Take the US President for instance, so many reports have said that ideological, less-than-fact-based media helped push him into the White House.
Here's the thing: according to new findings in the journal Nature Human Behavior, the more posts you're bombarded with, the harder it is to distinguish between fact and fiction.
The research team, led by Xiaoyan Qiu at Indiana University, found that both the load of posts you see on a feed and the limited attention you give your social media makes it hard for you to decipher the quality (or truth) of a post, making it easier for fake news to spread.
This has real-world consequences. The study found that fake news has the same chance of going viral as a post that tells the truth, and your social media habits could be adding to the problem.
The study used a simulation of a social network, designed after a Twitter feed, to watch how posts are shared on a platform. New posts were introduced into the simulated network at an increasing volume to see how a computer, programmed to act like a human, would react.
When the computer was shown a low number of posts on the feed, the chance that a quality post was successful—that is, reposted—was incredibly high. But as the volume of information increased, the chance of a quality post being shared went down.
The more information on a feed, the less likely a quality post will be shared. The more posts the computer had to wade through, the more its ability to tell high and low quality posts apart went down.
A follow-up experiment compared two types of articles. The first group of articles supported false claims, proven so by fact checkers. The articles in group two had been fact checked and verified as true. The researchers then compared the number of times articles from the two groups were shared online by real people on actual Internet social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
The team discovered an article from either group had the same chance of going viral. These findings support the claim that fake news can spread just as fast and go viral at the same ease as a quality posts.

Energised and empowered, Callum Dodson brought the entire community along for his rollercoaster journey to good health after his diagnosis with bowel cancer.
In the middle of last year, the then 22-year-old, who was fighting a rare form of bowel cancer, wanted to deliver the message that you are never too young to be diagnosed. The keen Chelsea Heights football player was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare malignant neoplasm present in the bowel called clear cell sarcoma.
The intensive treatment took a toll on Callum, who found the countless check-ups and scans after surgery to be "traumatic". Having missed out on his football grand final, he had to mentally come to terms with the unknown factor of his condition.
In November Callum was given the all-clear until he undergoes further tests this month and has since worked closely with a counsellor at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre to assist with his mental wellbeing. The 'unknown factor' of clear cell sarcoma, however, means Callum will have to undergo check-ups every five months.
With a positive and determined mindset from the onset of diagnosis, Callum now hopes to raise awareness and money via Kick it for Cancer, which would be a special event within the season for the Southern Football League. He and Ricky Nixon have been working on the project that is in the pipeline for 2018.

Home » Cryptocurrency » A Binance Review for 2022
Gaurav Roy
The number of crypto assets in the world has been steadily rising. Of late, that number crossed the mark of 11,000. According to the latest estimates, there are nearly 11,106 crypto assets worldwide.
Crypto exchanges facilitate these trades, with over 400 of these exchanges available. Yet, as applicable for any other market, not all these players have managed to capture crypto users' attention so successfully like a selected few. Binance is one of them.
But, what are Binance's strengths? Why do users prefer it over most of the players in the market? And, how does it work? These are the aspects we will address in this Binance review below.
What is Binance?
Positioned as the world's largest exchange, Binance is a platform for you to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Changpeng Zhao and Yi He are its founders.
Binance came into the market in 2017, and, to date, it has raised funding of $35 million from ten funding rounds and a total of 13 investors.
While Karnika Yashwant and Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India are its most recent investors, Binance received funding from Chris McCann, Plutus21, Black Hole Capital, Funcity Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Limitless Crypto Investments as well. The last funding round happened on December 1st, 2020.
In a short span, Binance has made some vital acquisitions as well. It has acquired Swipe.io, CoinmarketCap, BxB, DappReview, WazirX, JEX, and Trust Wallet. It has also made 49 investments. As an investor, Binance has also made a successful exit from BxB, the company behind KRWb, a stable bridge from Korea to anywhere, backed by a globally accessible 1:1 stable coin supported by the Korean Won.
Binance's product suite constitutes an entire crypto product ecosystem, including an exchange, an academy, the Binance Card, Binance Labs, Binance launchpad, Binance Research, Binance NFT, Binance NFT, Binance featured market, and Binance pay.
The Binance app is suitable for trading crypto from anywhere in the world. You can download the app from the iOS app store or Google Play Store. It also has an Android APK. The app is compatible with multiple operating systems and devices. It works both on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Moreover, you can also scan the QR code on the Binance website to download the app on your iOS or Android device.
The Binance exchange supports a host of assets for trade, including all the popular crypto-assets and high potential ones. The list of Binance-compatible crypto assets includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chiliz, Filecoin, Cardano ADA, and many more. Binance also has its own native token BNB that we will be discussing in a later segment.
Binance also has a full-fledged knowledge dissemination platform on its website, Binance Academy, where a newly initiated crypto trader can learn everything about mining. An experienced investor can leverage the academy to devise a new strategy.
Binance also has a Charity Foundation that explores the power of blockchain to address issues like poverty, inequality, and the health of the planet and its people.
To date, the charity has raised 2,352 BTC worth of donations, equivalent to $93,593,110 USD. The number of beneficiaries to receive the advantages of these donations is more than 937,000.
While most exchanges provide an avenue to buy and sell crypto assets, Binance goes a step further and makes arrangements for its users to seamlessly leverage their assets in the market.
With the help of the Binance Card, one can spend their favorite cryptocurrency at more than 60 million merchants across the world. All one needs to do is transfer their crypto assets from their spot wallet to the funding wallet. The Binance Visa card is completely free for use. It does not charge any administrative or processing fees. For successful purchases with the card, users qualify for up to 8% cashback. The funds enjoy the highest security standards available through Binance SAFU, Secure Asset Fund for Users.
Binance also invests in new technologies through Binance Labs in over 25 countries across more than five continents. Binance Labs has invested in over 100 projects which include blockchain entrepreneurs, startups, and communities. It aims to expand the larger blockchain ecosystem.
Binance also has its token launch platform where interested investors can buy or earn new tokens directly, and projects can launch their coins. To date, Binance has facilitated the launch of 48 projects, helping them raise more than $94.5 million.
The Binance Trust Wallet is one of the most well-known, trusted, and secure crypto wallets in the market. Users can buy, store and collect NFTs and exchange and earn crypto. More than 10 million people use Trust Wallet, available for download on the iOS app store, Google Play store, and Android APK.
Recently, Binance has also launched its Marketplace, which allows its users to buy NFTs with BUSD, BNB, ETH, and more.
BNB is the native token of the platform. It has a supply of more than 168 million tokens. The BNB coin attained its all-time high on May 10th, 2021 at $690.93.
How Does Binance Work?
To start trading on Binance, you'll first need to register by opening the Binance application and tap on login or register.
Next, you need to enter your email address and password and the referral ID, if applicable. The next step is to complete a security verification puzzle. After the successful completion of the puzzle, the exchange will send you an email and verification code, which are the final steps in the process of user registration. Binance offers two-factor authentication (2FA) features through Google and SMS 2FA.
Users do not incur any fees on Binance deposits. However, for each withdrawal, users need to pay a flat fee covering the transaction costs of moving the crypto out of their Binance account.
The blockchain network determines its withdrawal rates that may fluctuate due to congestion in the network.
For trades, the maker fees vary between 0.02% and 0.1%, and the taker fees between 0.04% and 0.1%. For trading with Binance's native token BNB, there is a 25% discount on the spot trading fee and 10% on USDS-M futures trading.
Buying Crypto through Binance is possible using debit and/or Visa or Mastercard credit cards.
For peer-to-peer trading, the platform supports bank transfer and more than 100 such options. It is also compatible with third-party payment services, such as Simplex, Banxa, and Paxos.
Binance Pros & Cons

Is Binance safe?
Yes. It is absolutely safe. While features like two-factor authentication (2FA), both through mail and SMS, take care of the individual user's account security, it also has a Secure Asset Fund for Users to protect the future interests of all its users.
According to the provisions of SAFU, 10% of all trading fees received goes into SAFU to offer protection to the users and their funds in extreme cases. The fund remains stored in a separate cold wallet.
Is Binance free?
Not entirely. We have already discussed Binance's fee schedule. To recapitulate, the deposit of funds is free for Binance users. However, withdrawals are not free. Users pay a flat fee for each withdrawal, covering the transaction costs of moving the crypto out of their Binance account. The blockchain network determines its withdrawal rates. The rate fluctuates with the congestion in the network. The trading fees may go up to 0.1%, depending on the 30-days trade volume.
Is Binance regulated?
Binance operates within defined regulatory structures. An individual must be at least 18 or of legal age to participate in Binance trades. Some products and services are not available in certain countries or to certain users.

To say my work has changed dramatically over the past few years is a massive understatement.
From nearly losing Date-Line Digital Printing in 2009, to sharing more than 23,000 thank you cards through Thanks Fairbanks, to having dozens of opportunities to share my irreverent ideas about business, to being selected to facilitate the Chamber's 2015/16 Leadership Fairbanks sessions…almost nothing about my work looks like it did just a handful of years ago.
The twists and turns of recent years have proven that taking chances and trying things that might not work (Thanks, Seth) are integral parts of doing work that matters. With that belief, and countless essays/talks/interviews as a primer, I am excited to announce that we are launching a weekly blog about leadership, service, and being a human at work called Powered By Humanity.
Some of you may be familiar with that title because you've had the occasion to read my eBook of the same name. Sharing that collection of ideas, and watching it spread around the world, was instrumental in helping us recognize that the way we do business at Date-Line Digital Printing is not only wonderfully weird, it's something about which people are curious.
It seems presumptuous to think that we should share our ideas about business, but after being invited to give dozens of talks about these ideas, and hearing incredible stories from readers around the world about how these ideas are changing their work, it seems selfish to keep them to ourselves.
My sincere hope is that Powered By Humanity will be meaningful to our friends and neighbors, but there are simply no guarantees.
I suppose that's part of the fun of trying to do work that matters.
