Pelosi Fails on Baby Question as She Clearly Supports Murdering the Unborn
Nancy Pelosi is a Democrat that is entirely drunk with power. She sits in her chair of authority, believing that she is the final authority in Washington. She makes statements that she persists are factual but are nothing more than her opinions. And when asked questions by reporters, she likes to think she has all of the answers. But when it comes to abortion, she does not have a clue as to what she is talking about.
The Democrats send out mixed messages about what constitutes abortion. Some believe that a baby is not a baby until a certain amount of time has passed by. So they believe that a mother can abort whatever is growing inside of her.
And then there are the others that believe a baby is not a baby as long as its head has not been exposed to air. So, they feel that it is entirely justifiable to murder the small child before air can reach the baby's lungs. No matter a Democrat may define life, abortion will always be the murder of an unborn baby.
A reporter asked Nancy Pelosi a question regarding life and unborn babies. It was the moment when all noise comes an end and silence feels the air. Pelosi was put on the spot, and now everyone expected a response. But all they would get would be a deflection. A move that is typical of a Democrat who does not want to answer a question that might pin them down.
Pelosi fully supports the Supreme Court decision made in 1973 that essentially paved the way for what the country struggles with today. 1973 marked the year that the millions would murder babies by liberals that have no value of life.
Pelosi is a woman that believes it is her right to kill a baby if it is something that she would not want or it would cause hardship. The sad old woman was asked by a conservative reporter, "The Supreme Court this fall will review a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Is an unborn baby at 15 weeks a human being?"
Democrats have long taught that life does not begin at conception. So, they have created an environment of debate as to when life begins. Many laws dictate different weeks as to when life begins for a baby. But science proves that life begins at conception. It is at that moment that a human is made and begins its journey to adulthood. That is until a liberal comes along and snuffs it out of existence.
Pelosi did not even attempt to answer the question. She wanted so much to avoid giving an answer that would have to incriminate her or brought some form of criticism. She believes that a woman has the right to choose. No one has the right to choose death for another human being. But for some reason, she thinks that she can play God and give that choice to people.
She stated that "Let me just say that I'm a big supporter of Roe v Wade. I'm a mother of five children in six years. I think I have some standing on this issue as to respecting a woman's right to choose."
The court case she holds onto to soothe her conscience of murder was a liberal's playground. The woman who supposedly drove the issue wanted to back out because she believed that life begins at conception. But her nasty lawyers pushed the issue and went to court and won. There is no scientific basis for murdering a baby. All that exists is selfishness and a will that does not want to own up to being a parent.
Pelosi claims to be a Catholic. And her church is very much against killing babies. But she sees no issues with defying her religious leaders and supporting murder.
She believes that politicians should dictate when life begins and what women can do with their bodies. She said in 2015 that "…politicians should determine what affects the health of a woman, her life, her health, and the rest. I don't think it's up to politicians to do that, and that's why we are very overwhelmingly opposing what is going on the floor of the House."
And she also thinks that by being a mother, she has more knowledge of life than any other person. Every single abortion that has taken place is the murder of a human being, and nothing will ever change that fact.

Leaky Vaccines: Antibody-Dependent Enhancement
by JMBK.NEWS February 2, 2022 February 4, 2022
Leave a Comment on Leaky Vaccines: Antibody-Dependent Enhancement
The term "leaky vaccines" is given to a class of vaccines which have the potential to partake in a phenomenon referred to as "antibody dependent enhancement" or "ADE." Other major concerns involve "viral shedding," and "cytokine storms," both which allow the mutated viruses from the infected host to spread the variant to surrounding unvaccinated individuals.
There are two types of vaccines which exist: "perfect vaccines", and "leaky vaccines". Perfect vaccines have the ability to block out a virus or disease completely, leaving no chance of infection from exposure. This results in sterilizing immunity. Leaky vaccines, only reduce the risk of symptoms upon exposure, and do not provide one-hundred percent infection from disease, or viruses.
This had led to scientific controversy for the use of leaky vaccines. Using research attained from animal studies, and real-world implementation, scientists were able to gather a greater insight into the potential risks associated with the reliance of "Leaky Vaccines" to combat mass viruses, and diseases. These correlations from the studies can be seen in the modern COVID-19 medical dictatorship, where consistent suggestion to get vaccinated overwhelms any other considerations.
Coronavirus concoctions are leaky vaccines. This means that despite their near one-hundred percent efficacy, they are not able to fully prevent infection of COVID-19. For this reason, masks are suggested to be worn at all times, in populated areas. As seen through trial and error, keeping consistent coverings over our airways is not conducive today's way of life. In an attempt to remove the physical barrier placed over our faces, the majority of the world population has succumbed to mandated vaccinations.
How much have these mandated vaccinations helped society, and what can we learn from the past two years data since the Wuhan outbreak in December 2019. After this time, our planet seemingly entered a portal to another dimension, where the risk of infection greatly outweighed one's individual civil rights. Lockdowns and life changing COVID-19 restrictions were set in place, many still existing in some form.
Yet over two years later, the pandemic drags on. Despite the mandated vaccines, masks, lockdowns, restrictions, guidelines, we as a human race just haven't seem to get it right. Each country has implemented their own techniques, ranging from the Chinese Communist Party's forced lockdowns over a single positive COVID-19 infection, to many countries choosing to use a more hands-off approach.
While the majority of American have been vaccinated, variants have emerged, reinstating mandates, inspiring new vaccines to be developed, in some countries doubling the doses originally required to participate in society. The mandatory COVID-19 vaccine rollout resulted in many questioning the efficacy of the newly created concoctions, their long term effects, and how long they would provide protection from exposure. Data from Israel's fourth vaccine rollout showed an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, showing the vaccines were no longer effective towards preventing infection, but now used to decreased symptoms upon infection.
The COVID-19 concoctions do not provide sterile immunity, meaning they are not one-hundred percent effective in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. These mandated vaccines are in fact considered "leaky vaccines" meaning they do not provide sterile immunity, allowing the virus to infect the body. With leaky vaccines, the difference between those vaccinated and unvaccinated, are the symptoms experienced upon infection. This report examines the known medical and scientific evidence surrounding leaky vaccines, and their effect during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leaky Vaccine Studies – National Institutes of Health
The following eight studies are taken from researchers, scientists, and medical professionals around the world. Each instance holds indication that there are potential long-term concerns surrounding vaccines which do not completely prevent infections, such as SARS-CoV-2.
These studies will seek to answer at two basic questions:
Can leaky vaccines provide a sustainable environment—an asymptomatic living host—for viruses and disease to mutate and re-replicate into stronger forms?
Can leaky vaccines cause vaccine shedding to occur, causing potentially mutated viruses to infect the unvaccinated?
1) Leaky Vaccines Protect Highly Exposed Recipients at a Lower Rate: Implications for Vaccine Efficacy Estimation and Sieve Analysis
"Leaky Vaccines" is the term given to vaccines which do not completely [100%] prevent a virus or disease. In some cases, it makes the virus build up at high levels within the user, while no symptoms are present. This means the more vaccinated a patient becomes, the more susceptible they are to spreading the virus or disease to unvaccinated.
Leaky Vaccines Protect Highly Exposed Recipients at a Lower Rate: Implications for Vaccine Efficacy Estimation and Sieve Analysis1
""Leaky" vaccines are those for which vaccine-induced protection reduces infection rates on a per-exposure basis, as opposed to "all-or-none" vaccines, which reduce infection rates to zero for some fraction of subjects, independent of the number of exposures."
"Leaky vaccines therefore protect subjects with fewer exposures at a higher effective rate than subjects with more exposures."
"This simple observation has serious implications for analysis methodologies that rely on the assumption that the vaccine effect is homogeneous across subjects."

2) Waning of Measured Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Over Time: The Potential Contribution of Leaky Vaccine Effect
Another study out of Atlanta viewed the impacts on the decline in effectiveness of flu vaccines over time, finding that it was a possible occurrence that needed to be addressed. Despite the medical fact of possible waning vaccine effectiveness, the medical dictatorship continues to advocate mass injections for all. In Israel, the Israeli Ministry of Health announced fourth vaccines to fight the effects of COVID-19, every four months. Should the waning of coronavirus vaccine effectiveness be something worth acknowledging?
Waning of Measured Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Over Time: The Potential Contribution of Leaky Vaccine Effect
"Several observational studies have shown decreases in measured influenza vaccine effectiveness (mVE) during influenza seasons. One study found decreases of 6-11%/month during the 2011-2012 to 2014-2015 seasons."
"These findings could indicate waning immunity but could also occur if vaccine effectiveness is stable and vaccine provides partial protection in all vaccinees ("leaky") rather than complete protection in a subset of vaccinees."
"Since it is unknown whether influenza vaccine is leaky, we simulated the 2011-2012 to 2014-2015 influenza seasons to estimate the potential contribution of leaky vaccine effect to the observed decline in [measured influenza vaccine effectiveness] mVE."
"The leaky vaccine bias could account for some, but probably not all, of the observed intraseasonal decreases in [measured influenza vaccine effectiveness] mVE."
"These results underscore the need for strategies to deal with intraseasonal vaccine effectiveness decline."

3) Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Viral Disease: Implications for Viral Vaccine Development
One study published September 9, 2021, from Rockville, Maryland reviewed vaccine-associated enhanced disease. The research indicates both vaccine-associated hypersensitivity [ctyokine storms], as well as antibody-dependent enhancement as potential concerns for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Viral Disease: Implications for Viral Vaccine Development2
"Vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) is a serious barrier to attaining successful virus vaccines in human and veterinary medicine. VAED occurs as two different immunopathologies, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and vaccine-associated hypersensitivity (VAH)."
"The COVID-19 pandemic has produced widespread speculation that antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) may jeopardize the safety of SARS CoV-2 vaccines or immunotherapies [1, 2]."
"In humans, early in the 1960s, formalin-inactivated measles vaccines were introduced in the US and Europe. Within months, large numbers of vaccinated children developed 'atypical measles' [3]."
"A similar outcome, vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease (VAERD), was observed in infants 4–12 months of age, given formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines who a few months later were infected by RSV [4]."
"Recently, ADE [antibody-dependent enhancement] was identified as the cause of breakthrough severe dengue disease in seronegative children who had been given a yellow fever chimeric tetravalent dengue vaccine [5, 6]."
"It has been known for some time that ADE [antibody-dependent enhancement] causes feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a fatal Arthus-like pyogranulomatous coronavirus disease in vaccinated kittens and cats [7–9]."
"There is a large literature of vaccine failures in veterinary medicine, some of which are accompanied by enhanced breakthrough disease [89–104]"
"It should be noted that, regardless of VAED response, viruses of many genera exhibit in vitro ADE [antibody-dependent enhancement]."

4) Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens
A 2015 study used Chickens to determine whether vaccines could have an effect on the evolution of viruses. The results indicated that vaccines had the ability to allow a virus to live and adapt in hosts which would normally cease to exist at a specific level of mutation. This results in unexpected consequences, including vaccines resistant variants.
Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens3
"Could some vaccines drive the evolution of more virulent pathogens?"
"Vaccines that keep hosts alive but still allow transmission could thus allow very virulent strains to circulate in a population."
"There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent ("hotter") pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so "hot" that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves."
"Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine."
"When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist."
"Thus, the use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease."
Viral Shedding
"Chickens become infected with MDV by inhalation of dust contaminated with virus shed from the feather follicles of infected birds."
"Vaccinated birds shed fewer virus genome copies than unvaccinated birds infected with the same viral strain."
"By preventing death, vaccination greatly increased the infectious period of the most virulent strains, increasing the total amount of virus shed by several orders of magnitude, and increasing it above that of the least virulent strain."
"To confirm that virus shed into the environment was a robust proxy for overall bird-to-bird transmission potential, we co-housed birds infected with our three most virulent strains with immunologically-naïve sentinel birds (Experiment 2)."
"When unvaccinated birds were infected with the two most lethal strains (Md5 and 675A), they were all dead within 10 days (Fig 2A), before substantial viral shedding had begun (S2 Fig)."
"Consequently, no sentinel birds in those isolators became infected (Fig 2B) and none died (Fig 2C). In contrast, when HVT-vaccinated birds were infected with either of those hyperpathogenic strains, they survived for 30 days or more (Fig 2A), allowing substantial viral shedding (S2 Fig). All co-housed sentinels consequently became infected (Fig 2B) and went on to die as a result of MDV infection (Fig 2C)."
"Thus, in accordance with the imperfect-vaccine hypothesis, vaccination enabled the onward transmission of viruses otherwise too lethal to transmit, putting unvaccinated individuals at great risk of severe disease and death."

Penn State Elberly College of Science
Penn State Elberly College of Science released a video warning of the dangers of potential vaccine shedding, leading to the evolution of larger, and more destructive forms of viruses.
"When a vaccine works perfectly, as do the childhood vaccines for smallpox, polio, mumps, rubella and measles, it prevents vaccinated individuals from being sickened by the disease, and it also prevents them from transmitting the virus to others," said Andrew Read, an author of the study and an Evan Pugh professor of biology and entomology and Eberly professor in biotechnology at Penn State University.

5) Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Modified Live Virus Vaccine: A "Leaky" Vaccine with Debatable Efficacy and Safety
One Beijing study published on April 9th, 2021 used pigs to test the effects of vaccine shedding using a modified live virus through the use of leaky vaccines. The results found that modified live viruses can still replicate, encouraging viral mutations to occur within the host. This means that leaky vaccines have the potential to create stronger variants of viruses, an alarming notion considering that COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent COVID-19 infections, and do not offer one-hundred percent immunity.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Modified Live Virus Vaccine: A "Leaky" Vaccine with Debatable Efficacy and Safety5
"MLV [modified live-virus] can induce a protective immune response against homologous viruses by lightening the clinical signs of pigs and reducing the virus transmission in the affected herd, as well as helping to cost-effectively increase the production performance on pig farms affected by heterologous viruses."
"MLV [modified live-virus] can still replicate in the host, inducing viremia and virus shedding, and it fails to confer sterilizing immunity against PRRSV infection, that may accelerate viral mutation or recombination to adapt the host and to escape from the immune response, raising the risk of reversion to virulence."
"The unsatisfied heterologous cross-protection and safety issue of MLV [modified live-virus] are two debatable characterizations, which raise the concerns that whether it is necessary or valuable to use this leaky vaccine to protect the field viruses with a high probability of being heterologous."

6) Sharing CD4+ T Cell Loss: When COVID-19 and HIV Collide on Immune System
A study published December 15th, 2020 discussed reduction in T cell Counts in COVID-19 patients, and T cell response compared to HIV. Additionally this study described cytokine storms, a phenomenon which causes mass inflammation which is difficult to diagnose, and current treatments are limited.
Sharing CD4+ T Cell Loss: When COVID-19 and HIV Collide on Immune System6
"COVID-19 is a distinctive infection characterized by elevated inter-human transmission and presenting from absence of symptoms to severe cytokine storm that can lead to dismal prognosis. Like for HIV, lymphopenia and drastic reduction of CD4+ T cell counts in COVID-19 patients have been linked with poor clinical outcome."
"As CD4+ T cells play a critical role in orchestrating responses against viral infections, important lessons can be drawn by comparing T cell response in COVID-19 and in HIV infection and by studying HIV-infected patients who became infected by SARS-CoV-2."
"We critically reviewed host characteristics and hyper-inflammatory response in these two viral infections to have a better insight on the large difference in clinical outcome in persons being infected by SARS-CoV-2."
"The better understanding of mechanism of T cell dysfunction will contribute to the development of targeted therapy against severe COVID-19 and will help to rationally design vaccine involving T cell response for the long-term control of viral infection."

7) Infectious Bronchitis Virus Evolution, Diagnosis and Control
Infectious Bronchitis Virus Evolution, Diagnosis and Control7 studies have been conducted by four Italian scientists from the Department of Animal Medicine stated their views on using inline automatic sprayers to "spray droplets" into the lungs, "mimicking the entrance of respiratory viruses." The researchers cite that spray vaccines are replacing "administration via drinking water." Will Americans see these totalitarian techniques begin to become normalized before subjecting the U.S. population to "mass spray vaccinations", or placing COVID-19 preventatives into our public drinking water? Nasal vaccines have already been invented8 with clinical trials underway in many countries including Russia9.
"RNA viruses are characterized by high mutation and recombination rates, which allow a rapid adaptation to new environments."
"Mass spray vaccination is an approach that clearly minimizes work whilst maximizing coverage, and it is usually applied at hatchery or farm by spray, which is considered analogous to the gold standard oculo-nasal vaccination in mimicking the entrance of respiratory viruses [120,130], when properly managed. However, improper settings of the diameter of the sprayed droplets can cause a deep penetration of the vaccine virus in the lungs and consequent vaccine reactions [120]."
"Spray vaccination could raise managerial problems when applied in a hatchery that supplies chicks to several farms requesting different vaccines. Nonetheless, the concern of chick contamination with different administered strains at the hatchery was diminished by Pellattiero et al., proposing that not yet replicating vaccines seem unable to spread to other non-vaccinated animals located in the same environment for several hours [131]."
"Spray vaccination has been progressively replacing administration via drinking water, which is largely deprecated since it often implies the combination of vaccines and other substances, normally dissolved in the water or to be co-administered, that could lower the vaccine titre or viability, leading to low coverage, rolling reactions and reversion to virulence."
"Nevertheless, it is still used, mainly for booster administration of less attenuated vaccines in the field"
Legnardi M, Tucciarone CM, Franzo G, Cecchinato M. Infectious Bronchitis Virus Evolution, Diagnosis and Control. Vet Sci. 2020 Jun 22;7(2):79. doi: 10.3390/vetsci7020079. PMID: 32580381; PMCID: PMC7356646.
8) Pathogen transmission from vaccinated hosts can cause dose-dependent reduction in virulence
A team of seven scientists, (four from the United Kingdon, and three from America) studied the effects of Marek disease virus (MDV) in chickens to observe the use of leaky vaccines substantially reduced viral load in both vaccinated and unvaccinated contact they infected.
Pathogen transmission from vaccinated hosts can cause dose-dependent reduction in virulence10
"Many livestock and human vaccines are leaky because they block symptoms but do not prevent infection or onward transmission.
"This leakiness is concerning because it increases vaccination coverage required to prevent disease spread and can promote evolution of increased pathogen virulence."
"Despite leakiness, vaccination may reduce pathogen load, affecting disease transmission dynamics. However, the impacts on post-transmission disease development and infectiousness in contact individuals are unknown."
"Here, we use transmission experiments involving Marek disease virus (MDV) in chickens to show that vaccination with a leaky vaccine substantially reduces viral load in both vaccinated individuals and unvaccinated contact individuals they infect."
"Consequently, contact birds are less likely to develop disease symptoms or die, show less severe symptoms, and shed less infectious virus themselves, when infected by vaccinated birds."
"These results highlight that even partial vaccination with a leaky vaccine can have unforeseen positive consequences in controlling the spread and symptoms of disease."

In American major cities, such as New York City, vaccine mandates have been set in place to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. When boosters were announced, many began to realize this was quickly becoming a pandemic of control, one that now seemingly, may be never be going away. One-dose ahead of the curve, Israel hosted its residents to function as the global experiment for the continuous production of Spike Proteins throughout the body. Now, at four vaccines, the data has begun to reveal that these controversial vaccines could play a role in the asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 to unvaccinated individuals. Without symptoms, the host would be able to withstand a more powerful mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to greater chance of variants producing increased infection throughout those who are unable or unwilling to inject the experimental concoctions.
If the current existing leaky vaccines being touted as necessary prophylactics are responsible for allowing the manifestation of increasingly severe variants of the virus, it would mean that the bureaucratic iatrarchy and the Biden Administration are knowingly propagating this pandemic for financial profit and authoritative control. Are leaky vaccines the cause for this high amount of both positive COVID-19 cases and unvaccinated deaths happening in Israel? If so, what damage does the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein cause biologically, with no symptoms present? Could COVID-19 concoctions be knowingly mandated upon the population, causing stronger variants to emerge, perpetuating the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic?

Self promotion, China, and Hunter Biden...
Let me be humble here. We've only started The Racket News as a pre-pre-launch to "see what happens," and as a place where David, Jay and I can write and podcast what we want to say, and hopefully, some people want to read and hear it. I'm overjoyed at the response so far. Thank each of you for being the first to sign up to read this.
Now a bit of shameless promotion. We have a domain name now, and it's theracketnews.com. This site is now at https://www.theracketnews.com. Please share it and get your friends to share it with their friends, and so on. Anyone signing up now will forever have their name and likeness enshrined in our Pantheon of Champions, or Founders Hall, or the Museum of Strange Antiquities. That means, if this thing grows or actually converts to something we can—uhm—charge money for, you'll have a special place in our hearts, which, with a $10 Starbucks card, can get you a grande toffee nut latte.
Speaking of shameless, I've got several thoughts today. First up, is my take over at The First on Texas AG Ken Paxton's lawsuit to force Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to have an election "do-over." I agree with the spirit of Paxton's lawsuit, and the exclusive news bubbles that Democrats and Republicans live in has made the perception of a tainted election worse than it is. The "one in a quadrillion" argument really means something to millions of Americans.
The suit is about perception. Democrats put up months of messaging telling their voters to vote by mail, and that on election night, there would be a "red mirage" that would fade as the mail-in results are tabulated. That indeed happened. But Trump's message overwhelmed his own voters, who never got the "red mirage" message. And the statistics, cited in Paxton's propose complaint, look bad, because truly, they are bad.
Of course, the specific allegations, state by state, are frivolous, mostly untrue, and unable to show even one single state election could be overturned as a cure. Therefore these cases are, without exception, being rejected by both state and federal courts. Patxon's lawsuit was trashed by lawyers like Erick Erickson, who called it "performative leg humping by someone desperate to curry favor with President Trump." Even Trump apologist Andrew McCarthy called it "frivolous" and "political."
This is exactly what I expect from lawyers. To a lawyer, filing such a suit, or asking permission from the Supreme Court to do so, is borderline malpractice. But as Paxton's suit argues, what other forum is there for a cure when state and federal judges unwisely intervened in a presidential general election, just weeks before Election Day, in some cases while early voting was already happening, changing longstanding law and procedures, forcing officials to scramble to invent new ones ad hoc.
If, as Democrats have claimed for years, the Kraken exists, and it's about voter suppression, then the way to "un-rig" the races should not be to go around legislatures and law, to just set an outcome the way a judge wants it. Is it fair?
On January 20th, 2021, all this will fade away like so many dandelion seeds in the wind, but the issues will remain for future races. I'd like to see legislatures act in 2021 to deal with the separate but unequal nature of mail-in versus in-person voting. Perhaps it's time to do away with early voting altogether? But of course, that's voter suppression.
Democrats would rather move to mandatory voting, like Australia has, but that's authoritarian. I rather like our federal system, but I'd like it better if we leveled the playing field for mail-in, early, and in-person votes, without opening the door to massive ballot harvesting. And don't tell me Democrats (and Republicans!) wouldn't do it if they could get away with it.
Swalwell, Hunter Biden, and China
California Rep. Eric Swalwell gets the "pot calling the kettle black" award for his muck-raking a 2018 tweet from Donald Trump about Chinese firm ZTE to distract from his own China ties.
Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell
Make China Great Again? https://t.co/JSX8qCL1lN

As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Swalwell is privy to some pretty classified stuff, but the Chinese don't want to infiltrate our politics to get classified information. They have other ways of getting that. They want influence, and leverage, and scandal.
Axios broke a story about Chinese national Christine Fang, a Bay Area suspected intelligence operative:
A suspected Chinese intelligence operative developed extensive ties with local and national politicians, including a U.S. congressman, in what U.S. officials believe was a political intelligence operation run by China's main civilian spy agency between 2011 and 2015, Axios found in a year long investigation.
Swalwell's office responded: "Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person — whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn't seen in nearly six years — to the FBI. To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story."
Fellow Californian and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made it rain, calling for Swalwell's removal from the House Intelligence Committee.
"This is only the tip of the iceberg because remember what we're hearing, these are Chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor, they court and help a city councilmember become a congressman, this congressman now gets on the Intel Committee," McCarthy told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "They are only selected for the Intel Committee by the leaders of their party, meaning Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is one of the Gang of Eight, along with myself."
Another target of China's influence-seeking is Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation by the FBI for tax and money laundering violations. From Glenn Greenwald:
Hunter Biden acknowledged today that he has been notified of an active criminal investigation into his tax affairs by the U.S. Attorney for Delaware. Among the numerous prongs of the inquiry, CNN reports, investigators are examining "whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China."
The allegations at the heart of this investigation compel an examination of a fascinating and at-times disturbing speechat a major financial event held last week in Shanghai. In that speech, a Chinese scholar of political science and international finance, Di Donghseng, insisted that Beijing will have far more influence in Washington under a Biden administration than it did with the Trump administration.
China is going to be very troublesome to America, regardless if you're Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian. Calling out the "other side" is exactly what the Chinese government wants us to do, while they continue to make inroads in our institutions, schools, banks, corporations, and political parties.
David Thornton wondered if we're slouching toward civil war as the Supreme Court thumbs its nose at Trump's legal team. Also, given how President Trump is going all-in for conspiracy, does he really love America?
My brother Jay and I have been doing a podcast for about two months, over at SoundCloud. We're not very good at it but we entertain ourselves. Feel free to check it out. I'm beginning to move it over to this site. Here's Episode 21 of "Breakfast with Bermans." Enjoy.
Is there really a secret galactic council with an underground base on Mars, which has prevented us from nuking each other these last 50 years? If there is, the media is largely ignoring the story. And like all alien stories, the real thing would be much less exciting than the science fiction version of it.
And again, thank you for reading. We may adopt this "newsletter" style format for future digests, to keep you email box from overflowing the The Racket.
Please, share this email, forward it to your friends. The more subscribers we get, the better feedback and the more stuff we can do. We work for you now dear reader (you're not paying us so does that make us slaves?).


This straight mark was used by Ed Doty even after he adopted the "Master Concrete" stamp in 1937. With this example, I've documented each year from then up to 1944. If I find a 1945 example, that will complete the set.
1944 – J. S. Mattos Concrete Co.
Dated marks from J. S. Mattos are very rare.
F. M. Brown may have been the same guy as Frank M. Brown, but if he was I don't know why he used two different stamps during the same years. My previous dated examples are all from 1944, but it wasn't clear until I saw this one that he used an actual stamp instead of (or besides) doing them by hand. Maybe he had a solo practice as well as his contractor's practice.
This clears up the mystery of the incomplete example I documented a while back.
This is next to the city pool.

MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE EVOLUTION AND CONNECTION WITH THE ATLANTIC OCEAN: INFERENCES FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION MARINE ARCHIVES
Results in Brief
MEDAT-ARCHIVES
Closed project
End date 2 December 2011
FP7-PEOPLE
Overall budget € 238 917,73
EU contribution € 238 917,73
COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES
Final Report Summary - MEDAT-ARCHIVES (Mediterranean Climate Evolution and Connection with the Atlantic Ocean: Inferences from High-resolution Marine Archives)
Paleoceanographic reconstructions require the development of geochemical proxies and tracers that can eventually be applied to marine archives to obtain reliable information on the past variations of key environmental parameters, such as temperature, salinity, pH, nutrients and water mass circulation. Scleractinian corals are uniquely suited to provide multi-century, sub-annual resolution paleoceanographic records since they can be precisely dated by 230Th/U technique and they systematically incorporate isotopic and chemical tracers that reflect the environmental conditions of the ambient seawater (Mitsuguchi et al., 1996; McCulloch et al., 1999; Gagan et al., 2000; Pelejero et al., 2005; Montagna et al., 2006; 2007). However, recent data have shown that most of the geochemical signals in corals, especially trace elements and stable isotopes, are biologically mediated and various models have been proposed to explain the role of the coral physiology in controlling the isotopic and elemental uptake (for a review see Montagna, 2010).
The MEDAT-ARCHIVES project had two closely-linked scientific objects:
1) investigate in detail the geochemical signals encoded in Mediterranean shallow- and deep-water corals to better understand the biological component imprinted in the geochemical variability;
2) reconstruct some of the most important physical and chemical marine parameters using classical and recently developed geochemical proxies, with a focus on the variability of the seawater temperature, pH and water mass circulation.
In order to fully achieve these objectives the fellow applied a geochemical multi-proxy approach (minor/trace elements, U/Th, 14C, Nd and B isotopes) to a suite of live-collected and fossil corals (Cladocora caespitosa, Lophelia pertusa, Madrepora oculata, Desmophyllum dianthus) retrieved at different water depth, from shallow to bathyal environments. All the samples listed in the project were analysed using the cutting-edge analytical facilities hosted at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement in Gif-sur-Yvette, in collaboration with the MC mentors (Prof. Steve Goldstein and Dr. Norbert Frank), several other researchers, technicians and PhD students.
The results of the MEDAT-ARCHIVES project largely improved the knowledge of the coral geochemistry with important ramifications on the understanding of the climate signals encoded in the coral skeleton. The fellow demonstrated that it is possible to obtain a pure temperature signal from corals by normalising the Li/Ca to the Mg/Ca ratio (i.e. Li/Mg). By doing so, the growth rate dependence of the two ratios is cancelled out and the seawater temperature variations can be properly reconstructed. This new approach was then applied to precisely dated coral fragments to reconstruct the temperature variation for climatically-relevant time-windows in the past. Deep-water coral skeletons (Madrepora oculata) embedded in two sediment cores from the Siculo-Tunisian Strait were analysed for U/Th, Li/Mg and boron isotopes. The fellow produced a record of seawater temperature and pH over the last 150 000 yrs. Although discontinuous, this time-series represents the first record of sub-surface temperature and pH for the Levantine Intermediate Water, which constitutes up to 80 % of the Mediterranean outflow. The reconstruction of key chemico-physical parameters for this water mass is crucial to the evaluation of the impact of the Mediterranean thermohaline circulation on the Mediterranean outflow and eventually to the pre-conditioning of the North Atlantic Deep Water.
The fellow produced the first high-resolution time series of pre- and post-bomb radiocarbon concentration for the Mediterranean Sea through the analysis of a long-lived specimen (53 years) of the shallow-water coral Cladocora caespitosa from the northern Tyrrhenian Sea. The sample was further analysed for Li/Mg ratios to reconstruct the sea surface temperature.
Most of the living and fossil coral specimens were analysed for neodymium isotopes to prove the ability of corals to serve as water mass circulation archives and to reconstruct the past Mediterranean water mass dynamics. This geochemical exercise was also conducted on other calcifying organisms (gorgonian corals, bivalves, barnacles) with similar important results: all the biogenic carbonates reliably record the Nd isotopic composition of the ambient seawater without biological fractionation. Therefore, most calcifiers are potentially good archives to trace the water mass circulation in the past.
Finally, another key result of the MEDAT-ARCHIVES project was the understanding of the calcification mechanisms of zooxanthellate and azooxathellate corals in relation to ocean acidification and global warming. This was achieved using a newly-developed approach that applies boron isotopes to calculate the 'internal' pH of the coral. These findings have profound consequences as they enable to predict the calcification rates of different coral species under different pCO2 and temperature scenarios.
Over the last three years, the fellow acquired the expertise to fully independently conduct isotopic measurements for most of the isotopic systems used in paleoceanography, including U, Th, Sr, B and Nd isotopes, which strongly differ in their analytical setup and data treatment procedures. These skills are highly portable and they can be transferred to other laboratories. During the project, the fellow established fruitful collaborations with several researchers in United States of America (USA) and Europe, which already led to jointed projects and requests for oceanographic cruises.

SailorsFreedom follows Kay, a former U.S. Navy sailor as he lives on a boat at anchor….
Ok, technically he moored it, so it's a boat at mooring, but I'll bet a lot of the people who come to this website would not be too sure what just what a boat at anchor really means, much less a boat that is moored.
He lives on his boat The Resurrection with Tam a nice little lady who arguably doesn't really exist as she is entirely simulated in some stolen computer hardware on the boat and projected where only Kay can see her.
Oh, and if any number of people figure out that Kay has Tam, there is going to be trouble. Many people would consider her a threat, and she might agree with them. Some are convinced that the hardware that Tam lives in is their rightful property, and any software on the machine is theirs too thank you very much. Some will just wonder who Kay is talking to under his breath, but that happens all the time in and around San Francisco, so at least he won't be in trouble there.
Oh, and there might be a ghost too. Maybe.
The current SailorsFreedom is direct descendant of an older version which was mostly color, much rougher, much less focused, but still enjoyed by many. That SailorsFreedom started as a way for me to just practice doing art digitally using a new Wacom tablet instead of actual paint or ink the way I used to do until I got crowded out by all of my unsold inventory. You can find some of that inventory by the way at Kirby-art.com. I have also kept the old comics available. Diligent readers of the old comic archive will notice that the story often does not make sense. This is because the New SailorsFreedom is SFW (Safe For Work) while the old one wasn't. Because of the large number of comics that do not meet the SFW requirements I can only include about two-thirds of them.
The events in the old comic are going to be still part of the history of the new comic. The events start about six months later. This means that if you have read the old comics you will have a little more understanding of the characters and events, but I am going to do my best to make reading the old comics not required to enjoy or understand anything.


Awesome photographs of the aerial view over the San Francisco Bay. Captured during an incredible sunset low-altitude flight.

This image is of the Pacific coastline of San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, Sutro Tower, and the Bay in the background.
The heart of the tech center of the country, and arguably the most expensive city at the moment. But from up here, you can almost sense the weight of change.
Being able to photograph San Francisco from the air has been on my list for a very long time. Finally, after months of planning, the conditions were perfect for my first aerial photo shoot.
My friend and pilot, Philip Andre and I took off in our single engine Cessna from the airstrip in Palo Alto. Wheels-up at 18:20, just in time to make the pre-sunset golden hour lighting coming over first Sutro Tower, then the Golden Gate Bridge. This Bay Tour offered us incredible views of the entire San Francisco Bay, and allowed me ample opportunities to photograph all of it. This has a been dream of mine for a long time. Even with the window open and the surprisingly warm wind shaking the camera around, I managed to capture a few great aerial pictures of San Francisco. Score.

In terms of preparation for my aerial tour of San Francisco, the photo gear that I decided to bring for this amazing shoot attached the the Nikon body was my Nikon 70-200mm F/4 VR for the majority of the flight. If I had a second body, I would have kept my 18-35mm F/3.5 attached at all times, but due to the limitations of the shoot I had to interchange those two lenses once or twice on my primary body. Not super ideal, but it ended up working out just fine. Almost all of these aerial images were shot somewhere between 80 and 150mm.
I decided to leave all my graduated filters in the bag. I wanted to spend all my time hanging out the window and shooting, not fiddling with my gear. This turned out to be a good call, especially because with the capabilities of Adobe Lightroom CC, I was able to post-process in a minimal but effective way, making graduated filters unnecessary for this shoot.
This being my first aerial shoot, figuring out my settings took some serious thought and preparation, and I definitely learned a lot in the process. I decided early on that I wanted to be able to focus on the view out the window, and not have to be looking at the LCD screen to check the exposure and then compensate over and over. Therefore I set every shot to take three bracketed exposures on high continuous mode. This way I was assured that every shot would have three options to choose from for the ideal exposure.
The 70-200mm F/4 has the best vibration reduction on any Nikon lens to date. And I can say for certain now that it really made a significant difference here. On the lens, I had it set to ON, and on ACTIVE, due to the high amount of consistent vibrations from the plane's engine.
I choose to shoot in full manual mode for shutter speed and aperture. However I did try something new, which was automatic ISO. You can easily set the minimums and maximums, making this feature essentially key to the success of this shoot for me. It allowed me to focus on the minimum shutter speed that I felt was required for the aerial vibrations and low evening light, as well as keep the f stop at it's lowest nearly the whole time.
All in all I am very happy with the gear and settings choices that I made. I suppose the only thing I would do differently is to bring an additional camera body, and a F/2.8 wide angle to capture the super low light better.
I have benefited greatly from some of the amazing online photography classes that I have taken at CreativeLive. With these classes, I have been able to learn things from the world's best photographers; allowing me to take my images to the next level. I highly recommend checking them out.

As you are probably aware, the PTA runs as a charity and we have to follow certain rules. Part of those rules is that we have an AGM so everyone knows what we are doing with all the money we work hard to raise.
But perhaps more importantly than that, it's a great chance for you to get involved and tell us how you think we should be spending the money, or how we can raise even more money!
It's also when we appoint certain roles – Chair / Vice Chair / Treasurer / Secretary / School Liaison – so it's a very important evening.
Even if you're not interested in any of those specific positions, we always welcome and need 'general' committee members – it's a fantastic way for Year R parents to really feel a part of the school.
This year's meeting is planned for Monday 8th October and ANYONE can attend whether you are on the PTA or not. I could not overstate the importance of this meeting in setting out what we as a PTA do – remember, every penny we raise goes towards helping your child's education and learning experience.
Most of our meetings these days are usually at the pub (see, it's not all work) but the AGM will be held at the school. We'll see you there.


It's not often I hear two tracks on the radio, a week or so apart and think "Wow. What the hell was that?!" and then find out they're both by the same band. Munch Munch are very much an ear grabbing, in your face band. But thankfully not in a Towers Of London way.
Munch Munch are essentially a two man with laptop project, following in the footsteps of the likes of Daniel Bedingfield and Tom Vek using a bedroom instead of studio to kickstart their music careers. Apparently, Munch Munch used to be a Lighthouse Family covers band too. When you hear them, you'll struggle to believe that. They could have at least pretended they were a Chumbawumba covers band instead. They combine the quirkyness of the Spinto Band, the experimental outrageousness of Animal Collective and the feverish enthusiasm of Hot Chip.
'Celebrity Engine' begins by nicely chugging along like a train (complete with burps and bleeps) before fading away into beats and the sound of a waterfall(?!), preceding a lovely little Mystery Jets-alike breakdown against the backdrop of some charming ukelele work. Not to mention the Fisherprice electro-prog thing they have going on as a finale. Insane in the membrane.
Munch Munch seem to like silly song titles, 'flashbangmicrowaves' being a prime example. This one is a bit like a futuristic Help She Can't Swim with a dollop of melodica. 'flashbangmicrowaves' is a bit of an effects frenzy - vocoders, organs, lightning, heavy rainfall - it's all there. The second half of the song shows a more fragile edge to the band, endearingly mellow. Maybe even a bit Lighthouse Family.
I'd love to see how their hyperactivity translates live and if you're lucky they might be popping around to town near you very soon. See their MySpace [link] for upcoming dates.


This volume deals with issues and problems of national and gender identity in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Turkey. Articles discuss experiences and position of women vis- -vis state intervention, economic, political and cultural change, in both public and private spheres of life.
In the book the real life conditions and experiences of women are analyzed on three complementary levels. The first of these is the economic and institutional circumstances shaped by structural adjustment policies, globalization and transnational policies. The second is realities of everyday life, particularly pertaining to family, religion, tradition and education. The third level is that of politics and ideology where national and nationalist discourses often build on the gender identity shaped by the economic and social levels.
The book does not only present a cross cultural analysis of women's position in the region but also reflects the varied perspectives of female scholars from many different countries and disciplines.


Just copied the original post from Jurassic Park Legacy so I could keep updating over here.
So basically I decided to remake the game with new dinosaurs, models and gameplay option, as well as just a remake of the UI and entrie design of the game. I was mostly inspired by the Jurassic World Expansion Project by JP Brazil (I don't care if it's stolen or not, please don't bring that up).
So, what can you expact in this new mod?
+16 new dinosaurs all the way from the uncharted Skull Island, from the small Sylvaceratops, to the beautiful Ligocristus and the fearsome Vastatosaurus.
+Brand new skins for all the 25 original species of Jurassic Park Operation Genesis.
+Join Carl Denham, Ann Darrow and the rest of the crew as you create your own WORLD OF KONG.
+Brand new buildings such as a restaurant and an improved tunnel mod.
+More of everything - more dinos, more buildings, more visitors and more fun!
Screenshots would come as soon as I would have enough to show you guys. Any requests or suggestions could be left in the comments section below!
And last but not least, huge shout out to the people who helped and helping me with this mod.
Huge thanks to Weta Workship for resources and information, as well as letting me use their amazing artworks in the game.
I also wanna thank brolyeuphyfusion for helping with skinning and modding.
Another huge shout out to TheDinoCroc. for helping me with the models!
And I wanna thank you guys, without you it wouldn't be possible.
If you can pull this off I cannot wait to play it. Hopefully we see screenshots soon!
If you know the famous YouTuber and gamer BestInSlot, he agreed to show a preview of the game to you guys.

No. 14 Florida State blows late lead, falls in extras to No. 3 Texas Tech
Florida State was two outs away from quite the statement Saturday.
The 14th-ranked FSU baseball team entered the weekend ready to test itself against a pair of significantly better teams than the two it faced to start the season.
Playing host to No. 3 Texas Tech and Florida Atlantic Saturday in a doubleheader, the Seminoles were on the verge of quite the sweep as they took a 5-4 lead into the nightcap vs. TTU after a dominant win over FAU earlier in the day.
A TTU homer from right fielder Dru Baker tied the game with one out in the ninth. An unfortunate and very untimely throwing error on FSU third baseman Carter Smith brought in what became the game-winning run in the 11th as the Seminoles (8-2) a 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Red Raiders (10-1) Saturday night at Dick Howser Stadium.
FSU loaded the bases in the bottom of the 11th before a flyout from Smith stranded the bases full, leaving FSU 90 feet away from plating the tying run.
"Heck of a ballgame," FSU head coach Mike Martin Jr. said.
"Baseball fans, that's what you come out for. Two heavyweights. They're a top-notch program, we are too. We went toe-to-toe, came up short."
Don't take Martin's introductory comment, though, as one finding a moral victory in the loss.
"It's about winning. Sure you can learn from it, but there's no consolation prizes around here. Got to get it done."
The loss snaps FSU's eight-game win streak and leaves them just short of what would have been a major quality win.
In the opener against FAU (7-3), the Seminoles faced an early deficit, but rallied behind a pair of six-run innings to come away with a 16-6 win, capping off a two-game sweep of the Owls after Friday's 5-1 win.
On the bump
True freshman Bryce Hubbart made his first career start in the first game of the doubleheader after starting the season as the Seminoles' closer.
Unfortunately, his debut start had some of the same struggles he started the season with in the bullpen. He allowed a pair of first-inning home runs and was chased before the end of the second inning, allowing three runs, all earned, on two hits over 1.1 innings. Three walks and a hit-by-pitch added to his struggles.

While Hubbart's start was underwhelming, Jack Anderson (1-0) earned his first win of the season with a spectacular relief appearance. He threw 4.2 innings and allowed one unearned run on two hits, walking none and striking out four.
"It was critical, someone to come in and calm it down and give us a chance to get back in it," Martin Jr. said.
"I've said it from the beginning, Jack has really done an absolute 180. He's a top of the line guy now."
With the game turning from an FSU deficit to a large FSU lead during Anderson's extended appearance, it left Clayton Kwiatkowski and Tyler Ahearn to close out the game with a comfortable lead. They allowed one run each, combining to throw the final three innings to close out a sweep of the Owls.
Junior Shane Drohan got the nod for FSU to start the nightcap against Texas Tech. For much of his outing, the control issues that plagued him were gone.
He was pulled with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth inning. He allowed four runs, one earned, on three hits. Two of his three walks were issued in the fifth inning, but he also set a new career-high with nine strikeouts against an extremely talented TTU lineup.
The FSU bullpen largely did a good job keeping the Red Raiders in check as well. Chase Haney relieved Drohan and allowed the three runners he inherited to score on a looping double to right, but the FSU bullpen settled in from there.
Four FSU relievers combined to allow just one earned run over the final six innings.
Freshman Parker Messick, in particular, stood out. He threw the final 3.1 innings and took the loss behind Smith's error, but allowed just one earned run over his lengthy outing, striking out five batters.
"I've been coaching a long time, he's made as big a good impression (as anyone) as a man," Martin Jr. said.
"He's a winner, he's a great teammate, he's ultra-competitive and obviously he's talented. He's special."
Overall, the Seminoles retired 19 TTU batters by strikeout over their 11 innings of work. Going against a lineup that had eight players enter Saturday hitting .350 or better, that makes this accomplishment even more impressive.
Errors again loom large
Once again, defensive issues were rampant for the Seminoles in the loss in Saturday's second game. This time, FSU was unable to overcome them.
Smith's fatal error was the most significant, but it was just one of four FSU committed in the loss. Add that to three errors from the win over FAU earlier in the day and FSU committed seven errors Saturday.
Four of those errors were on shortstop Jackson Greene and two were on Smith.
In 10 games this season, FSU has committed 25 errors and has not had an error-free game yet.
Martins lead offensive outburst
Tyler and Robby Martin shared more than just a last name in the FSU lineup Saturday.
They're not related, but the pair each put on a show in Saturday's doubleheader, leading the Seminoles' offense.
Tyler finished the day with five hits in eight at-bats. Of those hits, three were extra-base hits (two doubles and one triple) and he scored four runs and knocked in three more. With his strong day, he raised his batting average to .444, nearly 100 points higher than any other member of the FSU lineup.
His RBI double in the sixth inning that scored Cooper Swanson against Texas Tech brought in what would have been the game-winning run.
Seeing his early impact this season, it's worth remembering that he's an early enrollee who is supposed to still be a senior in high school.
FSU sophomore right fielder Robby Martin also came up big for the Seminoles in both games Saturday. In the win over the Owls, he had three hits, scored a run and had four RBI on a pair of two-run singles.
With four more hits against the Red Raiders, he finished the day with seven hits in 11 at-bats. He bumped his season RBI total up to 12 and brought his batting average up to .375.
As a team, though, FSU struggled against TTU, striking out 19 times.
The Seminoles will look to even the series Sunday, closing out the four-game series with a second game against Texas Tech. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.


With much of the atmosphere behind it and the second stage working smoothly, the Saturn changed the way it guided itself to orbit. So far, it had not compensated for the distance that the wind and other forces had pushed it from its ideal flight path. Nor had it tried to correct for any under- or over-performance of the engines. Instead, during the tilt sequence, the instrument unit had merely kept track of where it was at any moment. The new guidance regime was given a typically NASA-ese name of the iterative guidance mode. While in force, equations in the Saturn's computer plotted the most efficient flight path from 'wherever the vehicle was' to 'the point in space where it wanted to go' - in this case, insertion into a parking orbit around the Earth. To anthropomorphise the situation, what the computer was thinking was, ''OK, I know where the wind and such has pushed me to. What do I need to do to reach the position and speed that I have to get to?'' As the S-II powered ahead, the computer monitored the vehicle's progress and sent steering commands to the four gimballed outer engines of the stage as necessary to achieve the desired result. This steering was maintained for the rest of the S-II burn, then suspended and the stack's attitude held steady, which allowed S-II staging to occur and the third stage to ignite and begin to power the vehicle to orbit. With the S-IVB thrust established, the steering recommenced.

PIRE Publication - Violence victimization of young men in heterosexual relationships: does alcohol outlet density influence outcomes?
This study examined whether alcohol outlet density is associated with male physical and sexual victimization by a female partner. Data were from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). A total of 3,179 young adult men identified a current heterosexual relationship and had complete intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization data. Almost 16% of this sample reported being the victim of physical only IPV in their relationship over the previous 12 months; an additional 6.4% were victims of sexual only or sexual and physical IPV. Multivariate analyses indicated high alcohol outlet density was associated with greater odds of experiencing physical IPV only (odds ratio [OR] = 2.07). Heavy drinkers experienced increased odds of physical and sexual IPV victimization. Alcohol outlet density should be addressed in prevention efforts.

Emotion is the twenty-third studio album of pop singer Barbra Streisand, issued in October 1984 by Columbia Records four years after the release of Guilty, which has since become her highest selling studio album worldwide. The album was promoted with the release of three singles, but none of them entered the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.  The album has been certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA and Gold in the UK by the BPI.

Overview
This album was recorded in eleven studios in Los Angeles and two in New York with a multitude of producers and composers. Produced by Jim Steinman, "Left in the Dark" was the lead single peaking at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Make No Mistake, He's Mine", a duet with Kim Carnes, was the album's second single and charted at #8 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #51 on the  Billboard Hot 100. The final single "Emotion", featuring the Pointer Sisters on background vocals, was also released as extended 12" remix.

An instrumental version of "Here We Are At Last" appeared on the soundtrack of the 1987 feature film Nuts.

The video for "Left in the Dark" reunited Streisand with Kris Kristofferson, her co-star from A Star Is Born. The video to the album's title track "Emotion", which received some airplay on MTV, featured cameos from The Who's Roger Daltrey and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

The album peaked at #19 on the US Billboard 200 and #15 on the UK Pop Album chart. Emotion has also been certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA and Gold in the UK by the BPI.

ROME – It's no abstruseness that Protestants generally abash Catholics in agreement of adeptness of scripture. While a Lutheran, for example, could be activate reciting the absolute Book of Deuteronomy, abounding Catholics would attempt to analyze assertive scripture verses.
But a new Bible hopes to arch the gap by authoritative it added attainable to the accustomed faithful.
"Many Catholics that I accommodated feel that scripture is affectionate of aloof to them. They don't feel like scripture is article they can aces up every day and apprehend and accept a chat with God through it," said Bible academic Mary Healy in an account with Crux.
"But this Bible is activity to advice bodies do that," she said.
The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, appear by Ascension Press, utilizes blush coding, maps, timelines, accessories and archive to accomplish the Gospel added attainable for those who ambition to become bigger acquainted with scripture.
The new advertisement appearance a apparatus that highlights the 70 key contest in the Bible and places them in a archival adjustment so that readers are consistently acquainted of area they are in the narrative.
Healy was a accepted editor on the Bible, authoritative abiding that the aggregation of appearance it contains is authentic and in band with the best Biblical scholarship, while at the aforementioned time attainable for Catholics who are aing the angelic argument for the aboriginal time.
"As Catholics we've not had a adeptness of belief the Bible. Abounding Catholics were brought up with the abstraction that account the Bible is article added Protestant," she said.
"That's absolutely a amazing baloney that would accept abashed St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas, any of the fathers of our abbey or theologians of our history, who accustomed scripture as the chat of God and the body of theology," she said.
According to the scholar, the Second Vatican Council has encouraged a about-face in this trend, arch abounding added Catholics with a greater ache for the chat of God.
"It takes time to advance a adeptness of adulation and abstraction of scripture and thankfully that's accident now," she said.
Healy serves the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity at the Vatican, back she is a affiliate of the Pentecostal-Catholic International Dialogue. In 2014, Pope Francis appointed her as one of the aboriginal three women to serve on the Pontifical Biblical Commission.
"My assignment on the biblical agency has deepened my faculty of the absurd affluence and treasures of the Bible," she said, abacus that the presentations fabricated by the experts on the agency specialized in assorted fields accept opened her eyes to the "treasury of insight, acumen and connections" that the Bible has to offer.
In abounding means this Bible answers Francis's alarm to accompany the chat of God to the outskirts of society, by removing the layers of complication and academism in adjustment to activate a chat with those who feel the best abroad from the Abbey and from God.
"Scripture is acutely affiliated to evangelization, because if we are to accept a acute bulletin to accompany to others we ourselves charge additionally be absorbed in the chat of God," Healy said.
The biblical academic additionally explained how admission to the Scriptures makes it easier to acquaint some of the best circuitous aspects of Christianity, starting with uality, animal address and relationships. These topics, she said, are actual difficult to abstract for bodies today, but the chat of God is the best acute apparatus at the Church's disposal.
In a apple today area it's added difficult to analyze facts from fantasy, The Great Adventure Catholic Bible offers the achievability to go anon to the antecedent with a deluge of accoutrement that accomplish the argument added accessible, apprehensible and relatable.
"In our apple today, there is a affliction of misinformation, of affected news, but added chiefly of deceptions about who we are as animal beings, about the acceptation of life, about who God is," Healy said.
"False narratives," she continued, argue bodies that activity has no acceptation by abbreviation the animal acquaintance to a billow of atoms with no moral rules or boundaries.
"The time is accomplished for Catholics to dly, unabashedly, blithely adduce already afresh the august acceptable account of Jesus Christ, and to do it not aloof repeating formulas from the accomplished but to do it in a way that answered the needs of our contemporaries," she said.

A Reporter at Large
September 4, 2000 Issue
A Hole in the Ground
By Alec Wilkinson
The New Yorker, September 4, 2000 P. 64
A REPORTER AT LARGE about serial killer Hadden Clark, whom writer distantly remembers playing with as a child... Describes how Clark probably murdered a woman named Laura Houghteling in Bethesda, Maryland, and may have buried something or someone, in his family's cemetery in Wellfleet, Massachusetts... He led the police to Laura Houghteling's body, which he had buried in Rockville, next to Bethesda, in woods near a highway exit ramp. Laura Houghteling was not the first person Hadden Clark killed. In May of 1986, he killed a six-year-old girl named Michele Dorr, who had disappeared from her father's house in Silver Spring, Maryland. Michele's parents were in the midst of a spiteful divorce, and the girl lived with her mother and visited her father on weekends... Shortly before last Christmas, Clark began describing murders for which he has not been charged. He says that he killed a girl "named Sarah" in Massachusetts, in 1985, and that he consumed some of her remains before burying her in Wellfleet. The details of his description of the girl and her disappearance match those of a girl named Sarah Pryor, who vanished that year from Wayland, a suburb of Boston. In addition, he has described two murders on Cape Cod. One is of a woman whom he says he met in Vermont in 1975 or 1976 and drove to Wellfleet, then killed and buried on his grandfather's property. Her body has not been found. He also says that he killed a woman who is buried in the Provincetown cemetery under a marker that says "Unidentified Female Body Found Race Point Dunes July 26, 1974." In newspaper stories, she is often referred to as "the Lady in the Dunes." ...The name Hadden Clark was obscurely familiar to me, but I couldn't figure out why until my mother told me that he and I had played together occasionally as children. I must have been very young, because I don't remember it. My parents built a house in Wellfleet in 1952. One of Hadden's uncles was a plumber in town, and he dug my family's well. Sometimes, when he came to repair the pump, my mother says, he brought Hadden with him... Clark's murder of the young woman in Wellfleet, in 1975 or 1976, was of particular interest to me because, at the time, I was a policeman in Wellfleet... Writer think[s] of evil as the ability to see another person as an offering for your amusement—as prey... Writer states that at night he occasionally drove out to the cemetery where Clark claims to have interred some of his victims. It makes me shudder to think that on one of those nights I might have illuminated a man engaged in digging a grave... Describes conversations writer had with Clark from prison regarding murders he committed, and his apparent split personality; Clark has two female personalities and likes to dress as a woman... Richard Rosenthal, the Wellfleet chief of police, said, "...My view is that he's clearly a person with the mind-set to kill people. When given the opportunity, he does it. He does it for a number of reasons; one is sexual, one is revenge or anger. Or he just likes it. He's probably been killing since he was twenty. He says so. You have to give him some credence. There have been fifteen hundred missing women in the last fifteen to twenty years. I think he can legitimately lay claim to a few of them. As for the graves in the woods, I have no doubt that there is the body of a little girl buried somewhere in my town."

Q: In Oracle, find number which is larger than 80% of a set of a numbers Assume I have a table with a column of integers in Oracle.  There are a good amount of rows; somewhere in the millions.  I want to write a query that gives me back an integer that is larger than 80% of all of the numbers in table.  What is the best way to approach this?
If it matters, this is Oracle 10g r1.

A: Sounds like you want to use the PERCENTILE_DISC function if you want an actual value from the set, or PERCENTILE_CONT if you want an interpolated value for a particular percentile, say 80%:
SELECT PERCENTILE_DISC(0.8)
WITHIN GROUP(ORDER BY integer_col ASC)
FROM some_table

EDIT
If you use PERCENTILE_DISC, it will return an actual value from the dataset, so if you wanted a larger value, you'd want to increment that by 1 (for an integer column).

A: I think you could use the NTILE function to divide the input into 5 buckets, then select the MIN(Column) from the top bucket.

Home/Gaming PC/Unannounced Lenovo Android Gaming Prototypes Sold in China
Unannounced Lenovo Android Gaming Prototypes Sold in China
A prototype of Lenovo's handheld game console called Legion Play appears to have been sold in China without authorization. Lilliputting When YouTuber Taki UdonThe latter bought one and posted a YouTube video with some pretty in-depth hands-on.
Taki udon wrote it He purchased the model for "about $160," and said in a video that he received an email covered in bubble wrap after showing the images. The price may be much lower than the original price.
Luckily, a large sticker on the back of Udon's device lists some of the specs, suggesting the device was codenamed "Zelda." Liliputing pointed out Lenovo's website for Mobile World Congress 2021 hid references to the Legion Play suggesting a 7-inch, 16:9 display, HDR10, dual speakers, vibration and a 7,000 mAh battery. Udon's model in blue appears to meet these specifications. Udon's video shows that the system comes with 64 GB of storage.
At Aida64, Udon found Legion running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor (the same chip from Logitech G Cloud) and 4GB of RAM. It appears to run Android 11, which is another similarity with G Cloud. The main difference is that this prototype supports display output via USB Type-C, while G Cloud does not.
Some of the UI looks like standard Android, but it has been customized quite heavily and seems to be influenced by the Nintendo Switch's minimalistic UI. There is also an application from Tencent that is very similar to Logitech G Cloud. See the full video for some game demos including emulation.
Udon wanted better rubber on the D-Pad and a taller A/B/X/Y button, but he seemed to really like the physical device.
It's unclear why Lenovo didn't release the Legion Play. As both Udon and Liliputing point out, the prototype appears to be for 2021, with Valve's Steam deck announced if the company were ready to launch at that year's Mobile World Congress. It would have been before (that x86-based console is July 2021). Since then, Logitech has announced the G Cloud, and at CES Razer has announced the Razer Edge. Both of these devices run on Android and are cloud-focused for gaming on Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now.
As for how a batch of these Lenovo prototypes sold in China, we may not know. I know the weird part of
