This recipe is a slightly modified version from my friend Megan Kelly's Coconut Turmeric Cream Cups. She has an incredible site Renewing All Things – Biblically Based Nutrition and is a Licensed Esthetician specializing in holistic nutrition, woman's hormones, and spiritual health. Enjoy these coconut chocolate cream cups!
Optional: Can also use 2 tablespoons honey or Honest Keto Maple syrup instead of stevia.
Step #1: Place shredded coconut, coconut butter, coconut oil, vanilla and stevia into a food processor and blend until well mixed.
Step #2: Use spoon to scoop out about 2 tablespoons worth of coconut mixture and place into silicone or regular muffin liners.
Step #3: Once all your muffins liners are filled, either melt coconut oil and chocolate together or melt chocolate chips.
Step #4: Use a spoon again to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of chocolate liquid and pour onto your coconut cups until the coconut is completely covered. Repeat on all your coconut cups.
Step #5: Place in freezer for about 20 minutes or until chocolate is frozen. Keep in fridge.
It doesn't get much better than this! A ketogenic, low-carb, fat burning chocolate dessert that melts in your mouth! I could live on these! Because they are low sugar, they are a great snack as well as a dessert option.
Coconut butter and coconut oil are rich in lauric acid which is a natural anti-microbial that helps the body reduce yeast and bad bacteria. These fats also help improve our ability to burn fat for energy and improve brain function.
Raw chocolate or cacao this is loaded with dopamine boosting nutrients. It is one of the best sources of PEA's which are natural compounds that cross over the blood brain barrier and stimulate and modulate the release of dopamine in the brain. Cacao is also very rich in magnesium and zinc and chromium which help to balance and stabilize blood sugar.
Cacao also helps to boost feel good endorphins and serotonin that helps improve mood and sleep . This combination of ingredients makes raw chocolate the best mood boosting superfood. Your family will go crazy for this recipe!
I'm glad you love them Nancy! Nice additions!
Where are the macros for this recipe? Are we supposed to enter the recipe ourselves into MFP?
I wish there was a way to print the recipe without all the junk that's added when you hit print preview. Guess I'll have to handwrite it. Don't understand why the ingredients are shown here, as it should be, but you can't print just that. If you print it, you have to have junk like get from Amazon, which who cares. It's a shame; it looked like a great recipe.
Also called Coconut Manna. Nutiva makes it.
Made these yesterday and entered the recipe into My Fitness Pal. I used for sweetener 3 T Swerve and 3 T maple syrup, and they are delicious, but quite high calorie each… recipe made 10 and I would make again same way but make 12-15 instead.
Thanks for sharing your feedback Dave!
Can you substitute grass fed butter for the coconut butter?
I'm sure you could Debi! I'd love to hear how it turns out!
I have none alcoholic fatty liver,but very liked the sweet.Can you give some recipes?
These are a great sweet fix. I also alternate adding sunbutter and crushed pecans.
Yes you could try that!

JOHN BARNES claims England's attacking stars must not neglect their defensive duty.
The Three Lions kick off their Euro 2016 campaign against Russia on Saturday.
But while Roy Hodgson has a host of options going forward, England are lightweight in defence.
And Barnes insists England's attack minded players must help out.
He said: "Can we say the back four is as strong as when we had, Ashely Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville in their prime? It obviously isn't.
"It is what it is and we have to get on with it.
"We have to defend better as a team to try and protect the back four.
"The problem with that, is we don't have many defensive midfield players either – we're a very attacking side.
"But that is where the onus for me is on all the attacking midfielders to have the strongest sense of responsibility to defend, rather than just leaving it to the back four."
Tottenham star Eric Dier is expected to play an important defensive midfield role for England.
And despite being deployed in the middle of the park by Spurs for most of the season, Barnes claims Dier is better suited in defence.
"Eric Dier will be a player for the future, he's been around for a year – so he's got great potential as well," he said.
"But I don't see him as a holding midfield player – particularly at the very highest level.
"The problem in England is will don't cultivate or respect that position.
"Therefore we don't have any deep midfield players!
"We believe midfielders should be box to box or attacking, and if you're a defensive midfield player you're not very good.
"Whereas on the continent and in South America that's a very important role that people cultivate, admire and develop.
"That's what we need to start doing here."
Barnes also has a word of caution for optimistic England fans - don't overhype Hodgson's young team.
"Unfortunately what happens with a lot of the young players in England right now, and not just in the England team, is when they do well for four or five month we over exaggerate how good they are," he added.
"But what we don't over exaggerate is how good they could be.
"And instead of saying they've got good potential, what we're saying is how great they are.
"Which is maybe quite a dangerous thing to do with your players, in terms of giving them too much praise when really they've really achieved nothing.
"The problem is, we don't have many experienced players apart from Wayne Rooney.
"But we have to be careful with these young players when we have expectation on them, when you really want them to be playing without fear.
"If they perform well it's a bonus."
* Ahead of England's first game tomorrow Budweiser has today released details of the country's first beer made by football fans.
Over the past few weeks football fans across the country, the England Supporters Band and football heroes such as John Barnes and Graeme Le Saux have joined forces to infuse a tanker of Budweiser beer with English passion and pride - to create the ultimate patriotic brew ahead of this summer's football.

The Working Time Directive
Catherine Vickery
Most people have probably heard of the Working Time Directive, but do you know what it actually is. How did it come about and perhaps more importantly given the UK decision to leave the European Union, what happens after Brexit? Here we'll look briefly at how it came into being, the rights it enshrined, and look into our crystal ball at what the future might hold.
The Working Time Directive – a brief history
The EU Working Time Directive can be traced back to 1993, when it was approved after EU negotiation. Though Britain voted against it at the time, the UK was defeated 11-1 in the vote. The directive duly became enshrined in UK law in in the Working Time Regulations of 1998.
The Rights included
The directive boils down to four key regulations which govern the hours that most workers can work, and included:
Limits on the average working week
The regulations state that the maximum working week should be 48 hours on average. This average the government says, should "normally" be averaged over 17 weeks.
The regulations however include a contentious opt out clause which the UK adopted. This states that workers might have to work for than the 48-hour week if they:
Work in a job where 24-hour staffing is required
Work in the police, emergency services or armed forces
Work in security or surveillance professions
Is a domestic servant in a private household?
Work as a seafarer, sea fisherman or work on boats on inland waterways
Are a managing executive and in control of the hours that they work
As well as these provisions, any worker can choose to work more than 48 hours a week, provided they are over 18 and officially "opt out" with your employer. Many employers ask their employees to opt out, but you can't be sacked or treated unfairly if you refuse.
Limits on the normal hours of night work and regular health assessments
Night workers should not work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour period. Regular overtime is included in this, and workers can't opt out. Employers must also offer free health check assessments before employees start night work.
An entitlement to a minimum amount of paid leave
The UK mandated 28 days in paid holidays for all workers each year. This does include statutory bank holidays.
Special regulation for young workers
Young workers aged under 18 are not allowed to work more than 40 hours a week, nor more than 8 hours a day.
The Remain campaign made much of the fact that if the UK left the EU, workers' rights under the Working Time Directive would be affected. While this might be true in theory given the whole legal framework could be renegotiated with Europe, the dismantling of UK employment law from EU employment law would be complex and time consuming.
Many commentators believe it is extremely unlikely that any government of any political persuasion would seek to significantly amend such rules which are now considered basic standards for good employee relations.
It's also worth noting that there are areas where UK employment law actually enshrines greater rights than the EU directive. These include holidays (where the UK has 28 days versus 20 in the EU directive) and TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings) protections.
What's almost certainly true is that nothing is likely to change in this area for a while yet!

PHP: Get a list of included PHP files.
This is a PHP tutorial on how to get a list of files that have been included in your script. To retrieve this list, we will be using PHP's inbuilt get_included_files function.
//Require a fake library for example purposes.
//Get an array of the files that have been included.
//var_dump the array so we can see what is inside it.
As you can see, the array will contain the full path to each file. In PHP 5 and above, the array will also contain the full path to the script that called the function, as it is technically considered to be an "included file". In this case, that is index.php.
If a file is included multiple times throughout the script, it will only show up once in the array, as duplicates are automatically removed.
You do not need to use this function to check if a file has already been included or not. If you want to make sure that a file is only included once, then you should use the include_once statement. The include_once and require_once statements will automatically check to see if a file has already been included before they attempt to include it.
Hopefully, you found this post to be helpful!

Why are the categorization people changing United States Army Air Corps to United States Army Air Force?
That is totally erroneous. It was formally the United States Army Air Corps until 1947 when it changed to the United States Air Force.

In my opinion (although maybe not correct) it should be " United States Army Air Corps ". Ref: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Duesler-28

moved Apr 1, 2016 by Anonymous Vickery
the United States Army Air Service became the United States Army Air Corps on 2 Jul 1926.
On 1 March 1935, still struggling with the issue of a separate air arm, the Army activated the General Headquarters Air Force for centralized control of aviation combat units within the continental United States, separate from but coordinate with the Air Corps. The separation of the Air Corps from control of its combat units caused problems of unity of command that became more acute as the Air Corps enlarged in preparation for World War II. This was resolved by the creation of the Army Air Forces (AAF), making both organizations subordinate to the new higher echelon.
The United States Army Air Forces was created in June 1941 from both the Air Corps and General Headquarters Air Force.
The Air Corps ceased to have an administrative structure after 9 March 1942, but as "the permanent statutory organization of the air arm, and the principal component of the Army Air Forces," the overwhelming majority of personnel assigned to the AAF were members of the Air Corps.
To avoid the headache of calling some people Air Corps, other Army Air Forces, Units Army Air Forces, etc, we decided to go with calling them all Army Air Forces after June 1941 until they became the Air Force on 18 Sep 1947. note in the above paragraph that it states the Air Corps is the principal component of the Army Air Forces, so it makes sense to call them by the parent, not the sub ordinate unit.....

My father, who joined the Army in 1942 and was put into the Air Corps, always kidded Air Force people because he had been in the Air Corps, later the Army Air Force. His rank was Staff Sgt, in the Air Corps/Force. He got out before 1947 when the official Air force was established.
He should be categorized as both Air Corps AND Army Air Force....
commented Jun 23, 2020 by Roy Lamberton G2G6 Mach 5 (56.0k points)
The Army Air Corps was not the organization, but the Corps for aviators and their support personnel. The United States Army Air Forces was established before WW-II on June 20, 1941 as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Air_Forces which as you will note is heavily documented.
On 20 June 1941, to grant additional autonomy to the air forces and to avoid binding legislation from Congress, the War Department revised the army regulation governing the organization of Army aviation, AR 95–5.[10] Arnold assumed the title of Chief of the Army Air Forces, creating an echelon of command over all military aviation components for the first time and ending the dual status of the Air Corps and GHQ Air Force, which was renamed Air Force Combat Command (AFCC) in the new organization. The AAF gained the formal "Air Staff" long opposed by the General Staff,[n 3] and a single air commander,[10] but still did not have equal status with the Army ground forces, and air units continued to report through two chains of command.[11] The commanding general of AFCC gained control of his stations and court martial authority over his personnel,[12] but under the new field manual FM-5 the Army General Headquarters had the power to detach units from AFCC at will by creating task forces, the WDGS still controlled the AAF budget and finances, and the AAF had no jurisdiction over units of the Army Service Forces providing "housekeeping services" as support[n 4] nor of air units, bases, and personnel located outside the continental United States.[13][14]
Arnold and Marshall agreed that the AAF would enjoy a general autonomy within the War Department (similar to that of the Marine Corps within the Department of the Navy)[12] until the end of the war, while its commanders would cease lobbying for independence.[n 5] Marshall, a strong proponent of airpower, left understood that the Air Force would likely achieve its independence following the war.
The Army Air Corps remained the branch whose insignia was worn on the collar until the US Air Force was formed on 18 September 1947.

Max Yawney ,a native of Burlington, Vermont, Received a BFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY 1986, lived 5 years in New Mexico and then received an MFA in Painting from The long Island University ,CW Post campus in 1998, He studio is in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Max's work has been exhibited throughout the United States ,in England and Italy. His work is included in several collections internationally including two large sculptures at the Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn Harbor, NY.
Max's project commenced in 1996 and continues today. The project involves the pairing of two disparate images so as to establish a situation founded in the phenomenal distinctions provided by each image. These distinctions in contrast elicit a specific visual dynamic which becomes what is traditionally understood as subject matter. This working manner is quite similar to a musician composing a song , as the composer carefully places one note against another to deliver a specific sound formed by their context, the formal and phenomenal qualities of each note against the other.
The imagery in max's project is derived from plant structures and human anatomy combined with the abstractions found in dense urban environments (the rib cage and the highway exchange -the millions of windows and the veins of a plant leaves, the speed and the slow). The project utilizes the cerebral act of mere acknowledgment to establish a poetic notion , tapping the potentiality inherent in everything, the neutral experience of considering one element to another to provide an open condition, one that does not close out such as a narrative condition would.

Combine flour and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until it is broken up and partly incorporated. When some pieces are tiny, but some are still the size of peas, it is ready.
Add 3 tablespoons water and pulse. You do not want the pastry to form a ball in the food processor. Open it and grab a handful of the crumbs. If you can squeeze them to form a ball it is ready. If not, add more water in small increments.
Flatten dough into a disc and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for a few hours.
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13" circle. Transfer to a 9" or 10" springform pan/deep tart pan/deep dish pie plate. If using a springform, trim dough so it is 2" high. If using a tart pan, trim dough so edges extend just past top of dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F. Place a greased sheet of foil (greased side down) over pastry and fill with dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans carefully and bake crust for another 10 minutes or so, until set and pale golden. Set aside to cool on a rack while you prepare filling.
Blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes* in boiling salted water. Drain and rinse well with ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and blot dry with paper towels. Set aside. *You don't want crunchy broccoli here--I like mine tender but still firm.
Heat butter over medium-low heat and add leeks, along with a pinch of salt. Saute until very tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Beat eggs, cream, dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper together. Spread leeks evenly in bottom of tart shell, cover with broccoli florets and top with cheese. Carefully pour custard mixture over top (I do this while it's in the oven to minimize spilling).
Bake at 375F for 40-50 minutes. I mistakenly used a 9" pan for mine, so it took the longer time. When done, the centre will still be a bit wobbly, but it will set as it cools.


This large woodlouse (to 12mm). There is normally a dark central stripe, bordered by a strongly contrasting attractive yellow mottling, to give a charactersitic longitudinal pattern. This is quite distinct from the random mottling seen in P. scaber. In addition the head is typically dark, contrasting with the paler body colouration.
Confusion is, perhaps, most likely with Oniscus asellus, but all Porcellio spp. are distinguished by having two flagella segments and two pairs of pleopodal lungs (three segments and no lungs in O.asellus).
Porcellio spinicornis occurs widely throughout Britain and Ireland and is locally frequent (but remains under-recorded in many areas).
It favours dry, relatively exposed, calcareous substrates. Typically, this is dry limestone or loosely mortared walls, but also quarries, cuttings, cliffs, limestone pavement, and occasionally on trees with calcareous bark (such as Apple Malus or Lime Tilia). It is often associated with human habitation and frequently ventures indoors.
It can be found on walls by lifting capping stones or amongst rubble and beneath stones lying on hard calcareous substrates. It can be much easier to find at night (torch-light surveys) when it is active on the surface.

Q: Piping output into to a windows executable started by [Diagnostics.Process]::Start? How does one send an echo y pipe to plink when starting them from [Diagnostics.Process]::Start
$meProcessID = ([Diagnostics.Process]::Start("echo y | plink.exe", "$($hostName) -l $($uPwd.GetNetworkCredential().Username) -pw $($uPwd.GetNetworkCredential().Password) \`"echo '$($uPwd.GetNetworkCredential().Password)' | sudo -S '/home/someuser/somescript.sh'\`"")).Id

Though there is this it doesn't really answer my question since it's asking about calling bash from powershell and mine is really about passing a value to a Window command from standard output to bypass a Host-Read type of prompt.

A: Ansgar Wiechers' helpful answer contains an effective solution and sensible security warnings.
Using a System.Diagnostics.Process instance with .RedirectStandardInput = $true, and use of .StandardInput to provide standard input after the process has started, gives you more flexibility, yet in your case the only modification that was needed was to pass your command line as an argument (2nd parameter), via option -c, to program cmd.exe (1st parameter).

*

*[Diagnostics.Process]::Start()'s first parameter is only the executable name / path, not a full command line.

*It is the 2nd parameter that accepts a string containing the arguments to pass to the executable.

*Since you're using shell features, namely connecting multiple commands with a pipeline, you must use cmd.exe as the executable, and pass your pipeline as an argument to cmd.exe's /c option.

*

*You could use powershell.exe too, but in this simple case it is sufficient - and faster - to use cmd.exe.

Here's a simplified example:
$meProcessID = ([Diagnostics.Process]::Start(
  # Program to launch
  'cmd',
  # Arguments to pass
  '/c echo 42 | powershell -nop -c "''stdin input: '' + $Input" & pause'
).Id

The above demonstrates that stdin input 42 is seen by the powershell process as such ($Input); it opens a new console window that shows the following:
stdin input: 42
Press any key to continue . . .

A: Redirect STDIN of the receiving process. Something like this:
$username = $uPwd.GetNetworkCredential().Username
$password = $uPwd.GetNetworkCredential().Password

$p = New-Object Diagnostics.Process
$p.StartInfo.FileName = 'plink.exe'
$p.StartInfo.Arguments = $hostName, '-l', $username, '-pw', $password,
    "`"echo '${password}' | sudo -S '/home/someuser/somescript.sh'\`""
$p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = $true
$p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = $false
$p.Start()

$p.StandardInput.WriteLine('y')

$p.Id  # get the PID

With that said, I assume that the echo y is for accepting the host key. Doing that effectively disables an important SSH security mechanism to counter Man-in-the-Middle attacks, so I strongly recommend against doing this. It's better to verify the SSH host key of the remote host and import it into the registry before doing automated connections. You could prepare a .reg file with the hash and import that wherever needed. You may also want to use public key authentication instead of password authentication.
You have been warned.

Is there any way we can look at the chemical formula of various compounds, do some calculations or something and figure out which compounds will have higher solubility as compared to the others.
It depends on the solution and the solute. Usually, the rule is "like" dissolves "like". A polar solution will dissolve polar compounds and a non-polar solution will dissolve non-polar compounds.
As far as I know, to find the solubility you have to determine it experimentally. This can be done by "feel" first. If you have a compound that doesn't have many polar groups on it, chances are it can be dissolved by a non-polar solution. If you know what the structure looks like try to match it with a solvent that looks similar to it.
As a partial answer to this broad question, one may provide a prediction about the partition of an organic compound between water and octanol, $\log p$. This often serves as one of the preliminary checks (prior to chemical synthesis) of compounds foreseen for a pharmaceutical application among the Lipinski rules. An example like this or this may provide a first experience; some molecular editors offer such an estimate, too.
As usual, as such a prediction is based on a model, there are shortcomings; like i) how to treat naturally ionic compounds, or ii) how to account for amino acids, for example. While it may guide between more or less likely water/octanol soluble compounds, an experimentally determined value is preferable.
How could I find the solubility of hydrocarbons such as iso- and n-Butane in liquid Methane?
How does increasing the molecular mass of compounds of homologous series affect solubility?
How to calculate saturation point of a solution?
Why do alcohols and ethers have approximately the same solubility in water but different boiling points?
How to determine concentration limits of a buffer that's limited by solubility?

Woman sneaks through San Jose security, onto LA-bound plane
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- She's done it again... the woman caught trying to sneak onto planes at San Francisco International Airport half a dozen times has breached security at another Bay Area airport and, this time, it worked.
Marilyn Hartman got through a security checkpoint at Mineta San Jose International Airport without a ticket, boarded a plane and actually flew to Los Angeles.
This woman should have been recognized. Her face was splashed all over the news earlier this year after she was arrested for sneaking past a TSA check point at SFO. A judge ordered her to undergo psychiatric treatment and stay away from the airport, but she tried it again.
This time, the 62-year-old woman took flight and made it to L.A. Southwest Airlines conducted a head count after the plane was in the air and she was arrested when the plane touched down.
Stowaway speaks to media after arrest
Marilyn Hartman spoke to the media after her arrest for flying on an LA-bound flight from San Jose without a ticket.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Pleasanton said, "She should never have gotten on that plane."
Swalwell says Mineta San Jose Airport security told him she bypassed a document checker while he was examining a family's boarding passes.
Swalwell says she "then kind of pulled the same stunt at the gate before getting on the plane, found a family and then went around."
Swalwell is also on the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security.
He says, "Certainly, two incidents of un-ticketed passengers getting on a plane in San Jose within the last four months is concerning."
Swalwell called for improved perimeter security after a 15-year-old boy climbed a fence at Mineta San Jose and survived a flight to Hawaii in the wheel well of a plane. Swalwell says the TSA agents need more training.
San Jose airport spokesperson Rosemary Barnes says, "The passenger was screened by TSA for any prohibited items. It's real important to point that out and public safety was not compromised in any way."
TSA says it's already making adjustments. Meanwhile, Swalwell says he'll be working in Washington to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Hartman has tried to get pass airport security six times before at SFO. On Feb. 15, she made it on to a plane bound for Hawaii. Fortunately, she was caught before that plane took off. Three days later, she tried again, but was caught.
Then again on Feb. 20 she was caught, but that time she was ordered to stay away from the airport unless she had a ticket, but that didn't stop her. She was also arrested on March 18, March 26, and April 7.

Thread: Japanese Man Overclocks a Pentium 4 670 to 7GHz!
Anyway, if we are to take after the photos, the tenacious Japanese has succeeded to master the art of overclocking, by forcing a Pentium to reach 7 GHz.
The processor in question is a Pentium 4 670 Prescott, whose speed was designed by Intel at 3.8 GHz. The system used by the Japanese to push things to the limit is built around an ASUS P5WD2 motherboard with two 512 MB RAM CORSAIR PC2-5400UL modules of memory, and the cooling system was ARC Pot Revc.12.1xe LN2; the operating system installed on the system was Windows Server 2003.
After the preparations were done, the Pentium 4 670 Prescott processor reached 7132.82 MHz (375,4 MHz FSB x 19).
7.1 gigahertz is smoking... I mean that is one hell of an overclock.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I'd luv 2 have that pc heh!!


During her recent mission in Tokyo, Japan, ICAO Secretary General Dr. Fang Liu met with the country's Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Norikazu Suzuki (left), and with his Vice-Ministerial counterpart for Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Mr. Masashi Adachi (right).
In her meeting with Parliamentary Vice-Minister Suzuki, Dr. Liu thanked Japan for its aviation development commitments and for its support of ICAO's programmes and policies – most notably the ICAO No Country Left Behind assistance and capacity-building initiative. The Vice-Minister appreciated the budgetary constraints which ICAO is faced with at a time when so many air transport innovations are requiring its assessment and standardization, and noted that Japan may consider supporting a No Country Left Behind campaign aimed at developing countries such as the Pacific Island States.
When meeting with the Vice Minister for Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Mr. Masashi Adachi, Dr. Liu applauded the efforts of his Ministry to promote inbound tourists to Japan and drew his attention to the very high percentage of them which arrive in his country by air travel. She appreciated the Minister's highlighting of the synergistic relationship between tourism and air transport, and agreed strongly with him regarding their importance to the national economy. Additional discussions focused on aviation safety hazard mitigation, the priorities and various activities presently being undertaken by the ICAO including in preparation for the upcoming ICAO 40th Assembly, Japanese professionals working in ICAO, and the practical means by which Japan can provide additional support to ICAO and its Member States, including through Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) mechanisms.
Dr. Liu also had meetings with the Director General (DG) of Aviation Safety and Security in Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB), Mr. Shigeru Takano, as well as with the JCAB DG for Air Navigation Services, Mr. Yasushira Iijima. Mr. Takano assured ICAO's Secretary General that Japan will continue to support the organization's programmes and activities for the safe, secure, efficient and sustainable air transport system at the global level. Dr. Liu and Mr. Iijima exchanged views on the issues of common interests in the field of air navigation to promote cooperation and safe and efficient operation in the region and the world.
Dr. Liu wound up her Tokyo mission with visits to the All Nippon Airways (ANA) Safety Education Centre, where she learned about the mandatory safety training provided to all ANA operational staff, and to the Haneda Airport Air Traffic Service centre and ATC tower, where she was updated on local operations and best practices.
During her trip Dr. Liu was accompanied throughout by ICAO's Regional Director for the Asia and Pacific (APAC) Region, Mr. Arun Mishra.

Elevated rates of testosterone-related disorders in women with autism (pcos ment'd)
Horm Behav. 2007 May
The androgen theory of autism proposes that autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are in part due to elevated fetal testosterone (FT) levels, which are positively correlated with a number of autistic traits and inversely correlated with social development and empathy. A medical questionnaire was completed by n=54 women with ASC, n=74 mothers of children with ASC, and n=183 mothers of typically developing children to test whether women with ASC have an increased rate of testosterone-related medical conditions, and to see whether mothers of children with ASC show similar abnormalities, as part of the 'broader autism phenotype'.
Compared to controls, significantly more women with ASC reported (a) hirsutism, (b) bisexuality or asexuality, (c) irregular menstrual cycle, (d) dysmenorrhea, (e) polycystic ovary syndrome, (f) severe acne, (g) epilepsy, (h) tomboyism, and (i) family history of ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancers, tumors, or growths. Compared to controls, significantly more mothers of ASC children reported (a) severe acne, (b) breast and uterine cancers, tumors, or growths, and (c) family history of ovarian and uterine cancers, tumors, or growths.
These results suggest current hormone abnormalities in women with ASC and their mothers. Direct investigations of serum testosterone levels and genetic susceptibility to high testosterone production or sensitivity in women with ASC would illuminate the origin of these conditions. The relationship between FT and current testosterone levels also needs to be clarified. The present results may be relevant to understanding the increased male risk to developing autism.

The FADER: Why Kodak Black's American Story Is So Important
On Lil B.I.G. Pac, the Florida rapper shares a black perspective that's just as valuable as Kendrick's. In these #woke times, the hip-hop artists who receive the most critical acclaim are often the ones who spit some sort of redemption rap or whose politics are clearly delineated. By many accounts, one of the most on-the-pulse hip-hop works pertaining to the black American experience in recent years was Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly— a beautiful, intricate effort that lends a comforting touch to black angst on the issues of police brutality, the need for self-love, and the continued trauma of living within a...

The main changes of interest to property investors and landlords in the 2015 budget were: (1) Restriction on "buy to let landlords" ability set off interest against loans to the lower viagra price comparison rate of tax, (2) Removing the "wear and tear allowance" in favour of renewals allowance on furnished accommodation (3) Big increase in the Rent a Room allowance from £4,250 to £7,500 (this will be of interest to any live-in landlords), (4) Making higher earners in housing association accommodation (earning over £40,000 in London, £30,000 elsewhere) pay market rents, which may lead to more of them moving over to the "buy to let" part of the private rented sector, (5) Further restrictions in housing benefit entitlements, including no automatic right to this until at least 21 years of age and further cuts in the maximum amounts paid – which will lead to yet more landlords deserting this end of the market.
The biggie for the private rented sector is, of course, the restriction of the tax break on deduction of interest on buy to let loans to the standard rate – which will be bought in gradually over the next few years.
Naturally, I don't suppose the big pension funds who want a piece of the private rented sector action will be affected by this, so roll on the Tesco-isation of buy to let. There must be much clapping and cheering among the "kindly" pension funds, big overseas investors and the other big boys, as their small "pesky and nasty" landlord competitors just got clobbered whilst they are thrown the keys to the hen house.
As the small private landlords have grown the sector, including lots of new build, (at least they did until around 2002 when the stupid lenders panicked on all their poor lending they had done on what was clearly a level oversupplied new builds flats), this does not seem fair.
The government ought to read the Rugg Review from 2008. This thorough review, now collecting dust on the Housing Ministers shelf, looked at the past performance of the big players in private rent and it was not exactly complimentary about them, finding their product and service was worse than that of small scale private landlords.
It is possible that this budget tax change from Osborne will not do all that much anyway. Wealthier higher rate tax landlords may scale back on new purchases and spend more of their cash on improving the properties they already have to get to a lower rate of tax, if they can. And wealthy ones may not have mortgages anyway.
Rents may rise a bit. (The cost to a higher rate taxpayer who is on a typical 4% mortgage interest rate has been calculated as £67 per month per £100,000 mortgage).
For some, a company limited structure will be worth considering, though as the tax code is apt to change more in the future, such a move (which would also depend on a range of other personal circumstances) would require careful consideration.
If they can, a simple move would appear to be to look to shift the ownership over to a spouse who may enjoy a lower rate of tax.
However, a line has been crossed here, and landlords are now easy targets for the government, even a Tory one, wanting to raise some cash.
Expect more of this kind of thing going forward. (And I'm sure my prediction of the elimination of the little understood Private Letting Relief will come to pass).
But if it puts off a lot of new would-be landlords from entering the world of buying to let, then that means less competition for me – and I will drink to that.
There are still lots of opportunities. The trick is to buy the right property, in the right location at the right (low) price and ensure it is managed well, with no voids.
At LettingFocus we advise landlords on how to do this.
Footnote: The bringing back of the renewals allowance and the ditching of the wear and tear allowance seems very odd. If there was anything that was a bit of an open target for those inclined to play fast and loose with their tax affairs, the renewals allowance was surely it. At least the wear and tear allowance as a straight 10% deduction could not be dodged – and seemed a fair rate to levy. Most odd!

Who's the Pawn In This Match?

BERLIN -- There may be no better battles between man and machine than those over the chessboard.
So far, the machine has the edge. The great Russian champion Garry Kasparov lost a six-game match in 1997 to IBM's Deep Blue.
But man gets a rematch this year. And chess insiders think that this will be a fairer contest and a truer test of what comes out ahead in a battle of creativity and raw analytic ability -- microprocessors or neurons.
Vladimir Kramnik, the Russian who beat Kasparov in November to claim the world title, sits ready to defend man's honor. First, though, he has to wait to see who he will face, depending on the winner of a computer-only competition that begins Tuesday in Cadaques, Spain.
It's that pre-qualifying competition that's taken on a life of its own. If you think humans can sometimes seem petty and ego-driven, you won't believe the melodrama that's ensued after the reigning world computer champ, the Shredder, wasn't given an automatic invitation to face Kramnik.
To comprehend the current controversy, a little background is in order.
Chess purists cringe at short matches such as the six-game contest Kasparov dropped to Big Blue's finest. The action in Spain will not leave nearly as much room for chance: Deep Fritz, a German entry, and Deep Junior, from Israel, will grapple with each other for days, playing 24 games.
"These programs keep developing," said Frederic Friedel of ChessBase, the Hamburg company that distributes both programs. "They become stronger and stronger."
The winner moves on to the eight-game match this October in Bahrain against Kramnik -- who will collect a cool $1 million if he wins and $600,000 if he loses. The action will adjourn each day after six hours, with or without a result -- so Kramnik can have time to recuperate, something Kasparov did not have in his historic match with Deep Blue.
"The last time, it was horribly biased in favor of the computer program," said Raymond Keene, an organizer of the contest who is not only a world grand master, but also the author of 100 chess books and a chess column for The Times of London.
"Kasparov didn't see any games by Deep Blue beforehand," Keene said. "There were no adjournments, so he got tired. The computer doesn't get tired. So that's not fair."
Someone who is tired cannot think as clearly and also cannot exercise the creativity and intuition -- traits that show humans do more than just calculate.
"Chess is not mathematics," Kasparov told Wired magazine in February 1995. "Chess is fantasy. It's our human logic, not a game with a concrete result. Mathematically, it cannot be expired. The number of potential chess moves exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It's a number beyond any possible calculation. Theoretically, it's unsolvable."
But before it comes down to man versus machine, there is the small matter of deciding which computer program will be granted the honor of trying to continue Deep Blue's winning streak now that IBM has dismantled (perhaps) the world's greatest chess-playing intelligence.
This is the controversial part: Keene invited the top four challengers in the world to Spain so they could slug it out, or whatever computer programs do, to see who would take on Kramnik.
"My sole ambition is to get the strongest opponent for the human world champion," Keene said. "Obviously we hoped that IBM would reactivate Deep Blue." No such luck. So that left Deep Fritz, Deep Junior and a program called Shredder that lays claim to the title of Absolute Computer Chess World Champion. With a name like Shredder, it is hard to imagine the program -- or its masters -- ducking a good fight, but that seems to be what has happened.
The Shredder team declined the invitation to come to Spain. It felt that the rules of the competition in Bahrain tilted too much toward man, rather than machine. For example, Kremnik will be given a copy of the program to evaluate on his own.
"He's the favorite anyway. He doesn't need that," said Ossi Weiner, the program's distributor, who works closely with its programmer, Stefan Meyer-Kahlen of Düsseldorf.
"What's happening now is ridiculous," Weiner continued. "They say, 'You had your chance, you missed it.' But they miss the point that it's a Catch-22 for Stefan. He's the official world champion. He can't go and recognize an unofficial world champion, can he? He would be invalidating his own world title.
"Here it's not sport, it's business. There must be a business reason why they prefer having someone else and not Shredder. I don't know this reason but I can smell something. Why should they risk scandal if there's no advantage?"
But Keene gently downplayed the scandal angle. In fact, he said it's still not too late for the Shredder team to come to Spain. The competition has been moved back a few days from the weekend and will now start on Tuesday.
"I think they're worried about nothing," he said. "It's a shame. The invitation to play is still open. Please play. They are very welcome to play. I'd love for them to play."
"We could have just selected them, but the ratings were close, and we wanted to avoid controversy by having a qualifier. Shredder hasn't played very many games in important competitions against human grandmasters, and the other two have."
Obviously, such matters are taken seriously in the computer chess world.
Contests between computer programs and human players are ultimately about promoting the sport, and that goal may be undercut if charges of underhandedness strike a chord.
"How can you have a qualifying tournament that's run in this rather dubious way?" mused David Levy, president of the International Computer Chess Association that sponsored the 9th World Computer Chess Championship in June 1999, which Shredder won.
"Why not put the human world champion against the computer world champion?" Levy continued. "The match against Kramnik in Bahrain won't have any credibility in the chess world and the computer chess world, I think. I suspect the organizers there will live to regret it."

San Diego — San Diego moved to the forefront of nationwide efforts to reduce waste in landfills on Monday when the City Council unanimously adopted a complex blueprint for shrinking the amount of trash produced locally to zero by 2040.
The move comes one year after Los Angeles adopted a similar "zero waste" policy and one month after the U.S. Conference of Mayors voted to encourage every city in the nation to pursue such goals. Other cities with zero waste policies include New York, San Francisco and Austin, Texas.
Zero waste plans aim to help preserve dwindling landfill capacity while also boosting the environment by encouraging more recycling, less production of waste and the development of new markets for recycled and composted materials.


I will not be able to fully describe how unique and excellent this opportunity is to become an investor in a great tropical destination, Panama. If you have ever wondered about buying a yacht and setting it up doing boat trips or charter then this is for you. The difference here is that the entire package is already established and has been generating good monthly income for some years now. The yacht itself is not much over ten years old, and in addition the licensing required to operate properly, (within Panama) has been finalised and kept up to date, and will remain so for a further ten years. All this in a thriving location, coveted by many, adjacent to Panama city, with its canal and islands.
A 90′ (27m) Gulet style yacht built in Turkey, the birthplace of this type vessel. It is rare to find this of boat in the Americas, but the fact is they are eminently suited to comfortable sailing and more over entertaining significant numbers of guests, while retaining good sailing characteristics and natural timber charm. A real 'little ship'.
So if the vessel looks good how about the business…..
…..look at how the people are loving it! All within easy distance of Panama City most modern public transport systems, and taxis. No messing around with dedicated jeep rides out in to the wilderness for your clientele.
….So what's the bottom line you ask?
This is a preliminary post with information to be added. Inquiries leading to offers, the best being over $200 000, are sought. When you consider that Zulet is achieving more than a few tens of thousands of dollars legal income at peak months, you will realise that you are not just buying a yacht. You buy an investment which is entirely established.
or Please ask of me any questions, directly.

The iPhone's new parental controls can limit who kids can call, text and FaceTime and when
An update to Apple's iOS operating system, out today, will give parents a new set of tools to fight back against kids' iPhone addiction. With the release of iOS 13.3, parents will for the first time be able to set limits over who kids can talk to and text with during certain hours of the day. These limits will apply across phone calls, Messages and FaceTime. Parents also can apply a different set of limitations on calls and messaging during the child's permitted screen time and their downtime hours.
In a new Communication Limits section of Apple's Screen Time in Settings, iPhone users can set limits based on their contacts. During allowed screen time, users can be contacted by everyone or only by people in their contacts, to prevent unknown contacts from reaching them. And during downtime, they can opt to either be contacted by everyone or only by designated contacts.
And if this is set up under Screen Time's Parental Controls, parents get to choose who can contact their children and when and vice versa. During downtime, parents can also designate which particular contacts the child can message and call — like only mom or dad, for example.
In practice, this means parents could stop the child from texting friends late at night or during the school day, by scheduling Downtime to run. (To clarify, Downtime doesn't necessarily mean "night time" — it's just any time you only want designated apps to be available, and only calls to get through.)
The feature also allows parents to manage the child's iCloud contacts remotely, which makes it easier for parents to share important numbers with their child. But it also puts parents in full control of the contact list, so only they can edit it.
These new Communication Limits are part of Apple's larger Screen Time system, which was introduced with iOS 12 last year. The system allows iPhone owners to schedule time away from their screen, set time limits on apps, view usage and activity reports and more.
Many parents have already leveraged these controls to more strictly limit how their children used their devices, including by setting limits on individual apps they wanted to block, like games, as well as by configuring "downtime" hours.
In addition, parents could set times when the child's device could not be used at all.
Apple isn't the only tech company that's been rethinking how to address consumers' often dysfunctional relationship with technology. Google also introduced its own set of "digital well-being" controls and tools for Android, and even Facebook and Instagram have rewritten parts their software and algorithms with a focus on new metrics like "time well spent," for example.
While Apple's Screen Time may have worked well for younger kids, teens quickly found and shared loopholes and workarounds, much to parents' chagrin.
Time will tell if teens come up with a hack to get their iMessages sent under the new parental control system, too.

How Land Disappeared from Economic Theory
Naked Capitalism on how land has all but disappeared from recent-ish economic theory.
Today's economics textbooks – in particular microeconomics – slavishly follow the tenets of marginal productivity theory. 'Income' is understood narrowly as a reward for one's contribution to production whilst wealth is understood as 'savings' due to one's productive investment effort, not as unearned windfalls from being the owner of land or other naturally scarce sources of value. In many advanced economies land values – and capital gains made from increasing property prices – are not properly measured and tracked over time. As Steve Roth has noted for Evonomics, the U.S.' National accounts does not properly take in to account capital gains and changes in household's 'net worth', much of which is driven by changes in land values.
Even progressive economists such as Thomas Piketty have fallen in to this trap. Once you strip out capital gains (mainly on housing), Piketty's spectacular rise in the wealth-to-income ratio recorded in advanced economics in the last 30 years starts to look very ordinary (Figure 1 shows the comparison for great Britain since 1970).
In the UK, land is not included as a distinct asset class in the National Accounts, despite being one of the largest and most important asset classes in the economy. Instead, the value of the underlying land is included in the value of dwellings and other buildings and structures, which are classed as 'produced non-financial assets' (Figure 2)
As shown in Figure 2, the value of 'dwellings' (homes and the land underneath them) has increased by four times (or 400%) between 1995 and 2015, from £1.2 trillion to £5.5 trillion, largely due to increases in house prices rather than a change in the volume of dwellings. In contrast the forms of 'capital' that we associate with increases in wealth and productivity – commercial buildings, machinery, transport, Information and communications technology has grown much more slowly.

We are so excited to finally introduce . . . *drum roll please* . . . Daisy!
This sweet little Jersey cow joined our family at the Villa about a month ago and we couldn't be more pleased. She has the sweetest temper and loves being scratched behind the ears. Benjamin even rides Daisy around the pasture! The goats are still trying to get accustomed to her. . . Poor thing. She just wants to play and doesn't realize she's over twice their size!
But we didn't just get her because she's cute – though that is some of it. Starting in 2021 we hope to be able to host cheese making retreats out at the farm. How fun will that be? We'll be able to spend a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city and join with friends and soon to be friends to learn the art of cheese making.
So What Is A Jersey Cow?
Jersey cows are very highly sought after in the milk world for their high quality milk – and their high production! On top of that, they are known for their gentle temperament and loving nature. Quite a bit smaller than your average cow, they are a little easier to handle and are thus pretty common on small hobby farms and homesteads.
Not only this – but they are just gorgeous animals! Am I right??

Macron Is Now the EU's De Facto Leader
Dave Keating Apr 28, 2022 October 17, 2022
Many in Brussels are breathing a sigh of relief this week following French President Emmanuel Macron's reelection in Sunday's presidential runoff. But now that fears of a Marine Le Pen presidency can be put to rest, eyes are quickly turning to the French legislative elections scheduled for June. The result of those polls will determine just how powerful Macron will be at the European Union level over the next five years. But one thing is clear: The French president currently faces little competition for the title of the EU's most influential leader. Since France took over the EU's six-month rotating […]
The EU Can Withstand a Le Pen Victory in France
Many in Brussels continue to anxiously observe events in France in anticipation of what this Sunday's presidential runoff election will bring. President Emmanuel Macron has widened his lead over his far-right challenger, Marine Le Pen, since the first round earlier this month, with the latest polls showing him with a 10-point lead. But this gap is considered too close for comfort and is a smaller margin than Macron's 33-point victory over Le Pen in 2017. A Le Pen victory on Sunday would undoubtedly present an existential crisis for the European Union, a notion highlighted by Macron in last night's presidential debate, in which […]
Sweden and Finland Take a Step Closer to Joining NATO
Sweden and Finland both took a major step toward joining NATO this week. Finland will make its decision on whether to apply for membership in "weeks rather than months," Prime Minister Sanna Marin said yesterday in a joint press conference in Stockholm alongside her Swedish counterpart, Magdalena Andersson. Sweden will reportedly wait until after Finland makes a final decision, but Swedish media are reporting that Andersson's Social Democrats are already sold on the idea and have decided to push for Sweden's NATO membership. The bombshell announcement makes for yet another groundbreaking development in European security policy since Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized the invasion of Ukraine in February. Finland has historically steered […]


Zyrtec is an antihistamine. Antihistamines anticipate wheezing, runny nose, tingling and watering of the eyes, and other hypersensitive manifestations. Zyrtec is utilized to treat sensitivities, hives (urticaria), and other hypersensitive incendiary conditions.
Zyrtec comes as a tablet to take it orally. It typically is taken once per day. It might be taken frequently or when sensitivity indications erupt. Take after the bearings on your solution name precisely, and ask your specialist or drug specialist to clarify any part you don't get it. Take Zyrtec precisely as coordinated. Try not to take pretty much of it or take it more regularly than recommended by your specialist.
Before taking this solution, tell your specialist on the off chance that you have kidney or liver malady. You may require a lower dosage or uncommon checking amid your treatment with Zyrtec. Zyrtec is in the FDA pregnancy class B. This implies it is unrealistic to hurt an unborn child. Try not to take Zyrtec without first conversing with your specialist on the off chance that you are pregnant. Zyrtec goes into bosom drain and may influence a nursing child. Try not to take Zyrtec without first conversing with your specialist on the off chance that you are bosom bolstering a child. In the event that you are more than 60 years old, you might will probably encounter reactions from Zyrtec. You may require a lower measurement of this solution.
In the event that you neglect to take a dosage, don't take an additional tablet to make up for lost time for the measurement you overlooked. Hold up and take your next tablet at the normal time. Try not to take a bigger number of tablets than your specialist recommended.
Quit taking Zyrtec and look for crisis medicinal consideration on the off chance that you encounter an unfavorably susceptible response (trouble breathing; shutting of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less genuine symptoms might will probably happen. Keep on taking Zyrtec and converse with your specialist on the off chance that you encounter drowsiness, weakness, or unsteadiness; cerebral pain; or dry mouth. Symptoms other than those recorded here may likewise happen. Converse with your specialist about any reaction that appears to be surprising or that is particularly irksome.
Store at 20-25°C (68-77°F); outings allowed to 15-30°C (59-86°F).
Look for crisis therapeutic consideration. Indications of a Zyrtec overdose are not surely understood, but rather great languor, perplexity, and shortcoming might be normal.
Use alert when driving, working hardware, or performing different risky exercises. Zyrtec may bring about wooziness or laziness. On the off chance that you encounter dazedness or sleepiness, stay away from these exercises. Use liquor circumspectly. Liquor may expand languor and tipsiness while you are taking Zyrtec.

I have been using Continuum, and although it does have some drawbacks, I really like it.
But... I don't have a touch screen monitor, and I'm curious.
Does anybody know if Continuum supports touch?
If I brought this portable screen/monitor with touch (eBay link) .. I'd be able to use touch when connected to continuum?
How the phone will know when you touch your screen? if your screen has an USB cable for sending the touch signal to PC, and there are drivers for that touch device on Windows 10 Mobile, then yes.


Have you ever read a book that light a fire under you to get up and change something about your life? Listened to an utterly inspiring TED talk that makes something in your head finally click? Watched a documentary that made you put down whatever it was you were eating and never touch it again?


There are times when I wish I didn't have to wake up from a nightmare. I'd rather die in my sleep than wake up, for instance, to a thousand cockroaches competing for a spot on my cheek. The past few days have felt worse than cockroach infestations. The power crisis in Mindanao is in full swing with Agus dam's water level below critical level. It might fall below a second critical level and then a third and a fourth until I imagine there'd only be rock bottom. The experts have pictures to prove that they aren't lying for the sake of some lucrative political ploy, April fool's day or just for kicks.
The problem is real and has been compounded by the fact that we just happen to be a location that El Nino loves to develop into a playground that he can trample on with pronounced impunity. If he doesn't stop, the power curtailments could drag until June or July.
Why am I in a state of horror?
If there was a 25th hour, I'd probably still be up by then trying to catch the last train to my virtual haunts. Unfortunately, no caffeinated treat can keep my mental cogs in perpetual motion. I can't imagine not sleeping for more than three months, but it's either that or someone goes hungry.
In the meantime, accusing fingers are pointing to the current administration for failing to do anything about this foreseeable crisis in the last nine years it has been in authority. While the debate rages on whether Arroyo needs special powers or not to resolve the issue, the nightmare for us in Mindanao continues. As if we didn't have enough bad dreams already.
even here in manila, we get unannounced blackouts. the internet's weird as well.

Spoorlijn Tzummarum - Franeker was een spoorlijn tussen Tzummarum en Franeker, onderdeel van de Noord-Friesche Locaalspoorweg-Maatschappij.

Geschiedenis
De spoorlijn werd op 1 oktober 1903 geopend, tegelijk met een deel van de spoorlijn Stiens - Harlingen.

Oorspronkelijk was het de bedoeling dat de spoorlijn in Franeker zou aansluiten op de bestaande staatslijn B tussen Leeuwarden en Harlingen. Hiervoor moest echter een brug aangelegd worden over de Harlinger Trekvaart. De plannen hiervoor lagen klaar, maar de aanleg was erg duur en de brug zou in een onoverzichtelijke bocht van het kanaal komen te liggen.

Op 8 oktober 1933 werd het personenvervoer gestaakt. Een aantal jaar later werd de hele lijn opgebroken.

Restanten
Een deel van het baanlichaam is anno 2020 nog terug te vinden in het landschap. Enkele bebouwing staat er nog.

 Station Tzummarum bevindt zich aan de Stasjonswei 1.
 Station Djongum ligt aan de Hovensreed 1.
 Station Franeker Halte bevindt zich aan de Harlingerweg 45.

So was Obama telling the truth when he said IRS chief was fired?
President Obama had a very weak reaction to the IRS scandal as he allegedly fired the acting commissioner. Only problem, the acting commissioner was only serving a temporary term anyway and was set to step down as soon as the Senate nominated and confirmed a new commissioner.
"So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Did ‑‑ were you really fired, or was your term up?" Glenn asked.
TheBlaze reported:
President Obama announced Wednesday during an unscheduled presser that he had requested — and received — the resignation of Steven Miller, acting Internal Revenue Service commissioner.
Miller took over as acting commissioner on Nov. 9, 2012, two years into the IRS' political targeting, after his predecessor, Doug Shulman, vacated the position.
Miller will leave the IRS in June, not immediately, as per the terms of his assignment.
"It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June,"* Miller wrote. "This has been an incredibly difficult time for the IRS given the events of the past few days, and there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency."
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, President Obama denied having any knowledge of the scandal prior to reading about the leak.
"I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked," he said.
All of this certainly raises the question of what exactly the President does know, because it doesn't seem to be a lot. Glenn hammered the "I don't know" excuse that keeps being repeated by the President and other White House officials in response to the AP, IRS, and Benghazi scandals.

Children begin their Presbyterian Church Sunday School in Tequesta worship in the Sanctuary with their parents. Following initial hymns, prayers and scripture readings. A Children's Message is given by the Pastor and the children are dismissed to Sunday School. This is offered from 5yrs – 12yrs. The curriculum used is "Hands-on Worship" and includes crew leaders (Teens) to assist the younger children. The lesson plans provide a bible point, scripture and bible verse.
Our Presbyterian Church Sunday School in Tequesta program also have planned activities beyond the Sunday School classrooms aim to include neighborhood children whether or not they attend our Church. Such activities include the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the Halloween trunk-or-treat festivities, and monthly evening movies on the lawn. It is felt that such neighborhood outreach is important in our community oriented Church.

Tails in the City staff are kicking off the festive season in style! We're running the 5K Liverpool Santa Dash on Sunday 2nd December. Did you know it's the biggest festive fun run in the UK? What better way to start the countdown to Christmas than by dressing up as Santa and legging it round the city centre with thousands of others?
And it's not just for yuletide laughs (although that too). It's a charitable occasion because we're raising money for Shetland Animal Rescue in Halewood. They provide a safe and loving home for over 80 ponies and other animals.
Shetland Animal Rescue is a registered charity and is funded 100% by donations and kind gifts. As an example, donating £10 feeds one horse for a week. Then multiply this by over 80 horses which they care for at any one time. As well as the pigs, goats, cats, dogs and chickens. Imagine how much it costs to feed and water all those animals! In addition they need to pay the rent and all those veterinary fees!
Please support us by making a donation, however small. In this way you'll make a real difference to an animal's wellbeing. We've already raised £100 so we hope Tails in the City customers, family and friends will help us bust our £500 target!
The Santa Dash starts at 9:30am on Sunday outside the Liver Buildings at Canada Boulevard.

Portsmouth man charged in Madison Avenue rape case
By The Citizen on December 24, 2020
A Portsmouth man was arrested Wednesday and charged with a Dec. 17 abduction and rape in the 700 block of Madison Avenue.
Charlottesville Police detectives charged Lenny Riccardo Dortch, 41, of Portsmouth, with rape, abduction with the intent to defile and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
According to police, Dortch was arrested Wednesday in the 600 block of 13th Street NW on a warrant out of Portsmouth related to a probation violation.
The Charlottesville Police Department said the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners at the University of Virginia Medical Center, the Charlottesville Office of the Virginia Department of Probation and Parole, the Charlottesville Commonwealth Attorney's Office and the Virginia Division of Forensic Science assisted the department in investigating the case, which it called "difficult."
Police said residents and area businesses helped collected video surveillance footage, which was vital to the investigation.
Dortch is being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
