Hertigbo är en by i Huddunge socken, Heby kommun.

Byn omtalas i dokument första gången 1492 ("i hertwgebode"). Förleden i ortnamnet är det fornsvenska mansbinamnet "Hærtoghe", hertig. Enligt en lokal sägen skall Hertigbo varit fäbodställe åt en i trakten boende hertig, vilket är att betrakta som folketymologi. Jordeboken 1541–1545 upptar Hertigbo som en utjord till Halsingeby, från 1547 registreras det som ett skattehemman, och har ursprungligen varit del av Hallsjö. Den gamla gården som lytt under Hallsjö har senare kallats "Härtigbo ofvan Sjön" för att skiljas från övrig bebyggelse.

Bland övrig bebyggelse märks Hallsta eller Hallsta gård, anlagd 1856 på en del av Hertigbodelen av gamla byn Hallsjö som avsöndrades vid laga skifte 1857. Halltorp som låg under Hallsta var under en tid i början av 1800-talet soldattorp för soldaten Hall på rote 365 vid Västmanlands regemente. Nybyholm var ett torp i anslutning till Nyby som låg på Granberga ägor.

You probably think of your parents being the caregivers. They are the ones that raised, fed, and clothed you throughout your childhood. But eventually your parents age and join the ranks of the elderly. Then one day your parents need you to care for them. This is called role reversal. With the baby boomer population reaching that age, it is extremely common for children to have to care for their aging parents.
Caregiving for the elderly is like a full time job, or in some cases a second full time job. The patient's healthcare and finances must be managed. You also have to consider frequent visits and activities to keep them happy. You may need to pay rent, pay other caregivers, take them to the doctor frequently, and deal with Medicaid or Medicare insurance issues. It's a lot of work and Lift Caregiving can help.
Too many times I have seen situations where the elderly person has approximately 3 children. Most of the time one of the children will step up and take responsibility. At first things go well but as the parent ages and more problems occur, the child may become overwhelmed and stressed. At this point they may begin to resent their brothers or sisters and even their parents. They may feel that the other siblings should help chip in.
If this situation occurs, and ideally before it does, get the group of siblings together and discuss the situation. It is even better to get together with your parents when they are younger to discuss their wishes. Make a family meeting out of it if it is necessary. See if each party can contribute in some way so that the responsibility doesn't fall on the one sibling. One could handle finances, another can deal with in-person care, and yet another can handle any paperwork. It is ok to let the other siblings know in a nice way that you feel they should each contribute something. This is especially important if everyone lives nearby. Having this conversation can help prevent a family feud.
So who usually gets the job as the caregiver? A lot of times it is the woman, and also the oldest sibling. However, it should be based on who is the most capable of handling this role. How well each of you gets along with your parents is also something to consider. Whoever lives nearby or has the finances to cover it is often considered the most fit for the job. Age and gender really shouldn't matter in this decision. You may even consider rotation among the siblings if it is feasible.
Where can you turn with questions or advice? Lift Caregiving is a forum where people can find information and speak to others about issues they are facing. There is a wide variety of information available. The site can offer advice on how to communicate with family members before something happens. You can reach out to others even if the crisis has already happened.

This piece was written during 2017 for the Marist College Ashgrove Percussion Ensemble 2. It was composed to "rock out" like John's other tom pieces, but for a beginner to intermediate skill level group. It is scored for eight players on eight drums of ascending pitch. Feel free however to use any drums (or junk) you have lying around to make up the instrumentation.
"Where's My Jetpack?" is composed of simple themes and variations. This is noted in the score and parts and hopefully gives the performers some context for what is happening compositionally in the music.
In addition to playing on the drum in the regular fashion, there are also "stick clicks" (unsurprisingly, two sticks clicking together) and "rims" where performers (you guessed it) play on the rim of the drum. Again this aspect of the composition can be substituted for a high pitched sound like a closed high hat or similar.
Player 5 – Yep totally got it….

"We believe that divorce is not the end, rather a transition to a new beginning".
Stephen E. Felman
Below is an explanation of the process:
Intake Appointment
An initial intake appointment is held during which both spouses attend and the general goals of the parties are discussed.
A written agreement between the parties themselves, as well as the mediator, is reviewed and signed.
The mediator will assign certain tasks at this initial meeting, such as bringing in certain documentation for the next meeting.
Subsequent Appointments
A series of subsequent appointments are then conducted. Most will consist of a conjoint session (both spouses and the mediator) but sometimes the mediator may have individual meetings (one spouse and the mediator).
The number of appointments will depend on the number of issues the spouses need to negotiate and the degree to which they are willing to compromise.
The frequency of appointments is scheduled according to how much time spouses need to complete "homework assignments" and/or to "think" between sessions.
At each session the mediator makes detailed notes of agreements as they are reached.
When all issues are resolved as a result of the mediation sessions, the mediator will draft a memorandum of understanding ( your agreement), which is a document summarizing the agreements that have been made.
The mediator will recommend that the spouses take the agreement to a "consulting attorney" to look over the final document before signing.
Once signed, the mediator sends the document to court for approval, and the matter is concluded.
If you and your spouse believe that mediation is the right path for you and your family, allow the experienced and caring mediator at Divorce Mediation Services of Buffalo LLC. handle your case with the respect and dignity you deserve.

Matter Neutrino Resonance in Neutron Star Merger Remnants
Major Activity 2
Neutrinos are a necessary component of the physics of several phenomena associated with neutron star merger remnants, examples include nucleosynthesis and jet production in gamma ray bursts. Many essential neutrino interactions are dependent on neutrino flavor, so that an understanding of the flavor content of the neutrinos is critical for providing an accurate picture of merger phenomena.
Once neutrinos are emitted from hot, dense astrophysical objects, they can change their flavor through neutrino oscillations. In the last few years, it has become apparent that many interesting oscillation effects occur in environments with large numbers of neutrinos. In particular, neutrinos may experience collective neutrino oscillations in supernovae [1], and possibly in compact binary mergers. In merger remnant environments, it has been suggested that neutrinos can undergo not only the same type of flavor transformations as in supernova scenarios but also a novel type of transition called matter-neutrino resonance (MNR) transitions [2].
A collaboration led by NC State graduate student Yong-Lin Zhu along with TU Darmstadt researcher Albino Perego and JINA-CEE member Gail McLaughlin performed a study of MNR transitions using the results of a dynamically evolved, detailed three-dimensional, Newtonian simulation of the aftermath of a binary neutron star merger under the influence of neutrino cooling and heating. This is the first calculation that has used self-consistent neutrino and matter distributions from the same dynamical simulation.
They found that neutrinos typically pass through a resonance location at the edge of the low-density funnel above the massive neutron star where the neutrino and matter potentials have approximately the same magnitude. Thus many neutrinos emitted from the massive neutron star have the opportunity to encounter an MNR. The type of MNR transition varies between neutrino trajectories, but in most cases, at the end of the MNR transition(s), the electron neutrinos have completely converted to µ or τ-type neutrinos, whereas the electron antineutrinos experience an oscillation but then return to their original configuration.
Future studies of MNR transitions in binary neutron star merger remnants are needed to elucidate the consequences of these transitions, as well as to further probe the efficacy of the MNR transition itself. These results have implications for various nucleosynthesis scenarios as from collisionally heated material as well as neutrino-driven winds. Additionally, if a merger were to occur within the range of current or future neutrino detectors, the flavor dependent neutrino signal will provide a wealth of information about these objects.

Cavalry stands tall to take down Pacific FC, go 1st place in 2nd group stage
Charlie O'Connor-Clarke, Digital Content Editor (@charliejclarke)
Highlights News
One matchday into round two of The Island Games, and there's one team atop the standings.
Cavalry FC, as they were in the first round, are the first side to win in the second group stage, earning a 3-1 decision over Pacific FC on Wednesday night.
Cavalry FC: Score first – The Cavs did exactly that, finding an opportunity from the penalty spot early on courtesy of Mo Farsi and goalscorer Nik Ledgerwood. As they've done all through The Island Games, the Cavs managed the rest of the game well and settled in with an early lead.
Pacific FC: Beat press with direct play – This was Pacific's biggest problem in the first half, as they struggled mightily to get balls through to their wingers. Their goal in the second half came from a set piece; the Tridents had difficulty moving the ball forward through Cavalry's energetic press, especially early on.
Things started out well for the Cavs, who had three shots in the opening 10 minutes as they took control of the game. They took the lead in the 15th minute when Mohamed Farsi was taken down in the box and Nik Ledgerwood stepped up to convert the penalty kick.
The rest of the first half saw Cavalry pressing hard, happy to keep Pacific from probing too deep into the attacking third. The Cavs nearly went up 2-0 in the 20th minute, as a Jordan Brown through ball found Nico Pasquotti for a one-on-one opportunity with the goalkeeper, but he skied his shot.
Pasquotti's night came to a premature end in the 31st minute, causing concern for the Cavs as the attacker felt something in his knee and had to be replaced by Bruno Zebie.
Cavalry came out firing in the second half as well, though, with Ledgerwood taken off at the interval for Elijah Adekugbe. With fresh legs, the midfielder was able to pounce on a loose ball at the top of the box in the 49th minute, and he finished from the edge of the six-yard box to make it 2-0.
At the other end, Pacific's goal came from a corner kick, as a ball fired into traffic in the box managed to hit Cavalry defender Dominick Zator and Pacific's 19-year-old midfielder Sean Young to bounce into the net.
Pacific's attempt to get back into it was in vain, however. Cavalry restored their two-goal lead about 20 minutes later, as Farsi came bursting in down the right half-channel to pick off a poor defensive pass, and his strike went perfectly off the far post and back in to make it 3-1.
Although Pacific worked hard to at least find another goal, keeping the lion's share of possession and winning more duels than Cavalry, ultimately it wasn't their night as the open-play scoring chances didn't quite materialize. They had a number of set-piece opportunities late in the game, but the Cavs effectively stopped them from playing their trademark wide game.
Both sides return for their second match of the group stage on Saturday. Pacific will kick things off against Forge FC (12:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. AT), and then Cavalry will take on HFX Wanderers (3:00 p.m.ET/4:00 p.m. AT).

Mohamed Farsi (Cavalry FC)
The young wingback was phenomenal again on Wednesday night, doing damage in the area where Pacific likes playing the most — along the flank. His pinpoint shot for Cavalry's third goal was world class, and it was that moment of brilliance that took a lot of the wind out of Pacific's sails after they'd scored.


I believe there were about a dozen Orbit gas stations built in the Sacramento area like the ones shown below. The 1963 design was created by Ed Ward. The buildings feature a four pointed concrete roof. The only other Orbit station still existing with a similar look that I know of is the one in Incline Village, NV. If you know of any other Orbit stations like these, I'd love to hear from you.

The number of classified films approved for exhibition annually. Since 1988, films for public exhibition have to be approved by the Film Censorship Authority under the Film Censorship Ordinance. Before 1988, films also needed to be examined before they were exhibited, but under a different regulatory regime.
Figures before 2012 were collected from Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority. Figures after 2012 were collected from the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration.
Figures for the years of 1981 and 1986 were extracted from Hong Kong Report.

As a child I had a series of hamsters — all named Peaches, and a tank of guppies. There were two dogs, a terrier with an attitude, named Gus, and a Springer spaniel who was a complete sweetheart named Sonny. And there's been a lifetime of cats: Maxwell Smart, Lady, Scamp, Oreo, Marmalade and my current two: Caligula and Tortuga.
2. Are you a summer or winter person?
I'm a rain person. In California, rain means winter, but I also like summer rain. I also like fog. It's probably due to a lifetime of living near the coast.
3. After photos, what is the next material item you would try and rescue from a house fire?
When I was younger I painted. I have about three dozen acrylics and oil paintings from those years. I would like to save those.
4. Ocean or mountains? Both. I live in California. To the west, I have the Pacific Ocean. Inland, I have my choice of mountains.
5. What was your favourite book read for this or a previous Canadian Book Challenge? My most recent favourite is Zombies Calling by Faith Erin Hicks. I haven't posted a proper review but I did post some photos of my favourite pages.
6. Are your Canadian Book Challenge choices pre-picked and are you following any theme?
I read and review more than three hundred books a year. If I see a book fits the challenge, I toss it into my to be read list but that's that extent of my planning.
7. Have you finished the Canadian Book Challenge in previous years?
I've finished it every year I've participated.
8. Do you shop for books online?
I have a local bookshop where I purchase books. Normally what happens is I decide I want to buy a book. I look it up on their website and then I email in my order. That saves me from having to use my credit card or pay for shipping.
9. What is the longest book you've ever read?
If a compilation counts, then it's the The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle (at just shy of 1800 pages). If it's a complete novel, then it's Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (1463 pages).
10. What is more important to you: discovering new authors or sticking with old favourites? It's a mixture. Mostly my goal is to read as many books off my wish list as possible. As it's currently over 1000 titles, that's enough of a goal.
There are movies and books I love to experience with my kids, but there are others I'm quite content to let them have to themselves. The Harry Potter series is one we do together, while the Diary of a Wimpy Kid I assumed would be something they'd find and enjoy for themselves. I misjudged them as quickly and mass-produced books. Probably slightly entertaining and harmless but nothing I thought I'd be missing out on.
Debbie and I alternate which child we read to each night and it rarely lines up perfectly. I had finished reading James Howe's Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow to my son, but my wife and daughter were only about half way through Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay. So I grabbed up Diary of a Wimpy Kid from my son's shelf, figuring I could easily get through this one as well, but I ended up enjoying it a lot. Yes, low expectations have saved yet another book.
It was hilarious. I honestly don't remember the last time a book made me laugh so hard that I had to stop and recover. There's a scene involving a grape and an orange. Hysterical. Another with a form Christmas thank-you letter. I was made to read that one about three times.
Greg Heffley, a middle school kid (older than my own son), is an average kid. He's not perfect (he can be quite mean to his best friend), but that's okay— he provides a lot of talking points and he's certainly easy to relate to.


You may have noticed a whole host of new jewellery eye candy on the Anna Lou of London site recently? Well that's because we are so pleased to say that our much anticipated Luxe collection has finally landed! Made in the same signature Anna Lou style, evoking a good dose of wonderfully British elegance but with an added touch of luxury and class, this stand out collection is designed to suit all of your evening-wear needs. All part of our plan to expand the Anna Lou brand, the Luxe collection is just one of the new ranges we will be welcoming this year. We wanted to offer an additional evening-wear range that could sit alongside our main collection, giving you the choice of a host of statement dazzling pieces that can be worn to that black tie event you may have coming up. Nothing says glamour like a giant sparkler of a gemstone hanging from your neck, wrist or earlobes and that's exactly what the Luxe collection is all about. Brighter, bolder and altogether more grown up than our mainline, there is nothing shy and retiring about these items so wear when you want to make a true style statement. The range of necklaces, bracelets and earrings come in a showstopping array of coloured gemstones from emeralds and jades to dark black and ruby red. Perfect for the upcoming party season (yes we said it, Christmas IS on the way) take a look at our new pieces and shop today!

Tamarack Cultural Arts Center houses the cultural and cottage industry products of West Virginia. The one-floor building was a project initiated by Governor Gaston in 1991 in an effort to promote the business of local cottage industries and tourism. Designed and constructed by Chute Gerdeman, the building features an attractive red roofing and a circular base that allows visitors to scan the displays in one-round viewing. It also houses a metal working studio, a custom-designed directory and a 180-seat theater facility for educational presentations and cultural shows.
Architectural and designing firms, already under depression, are facing competition from furniture dealers and real estate brokers who are offering their services directly to the manufacturers along with their product. Unlike the services of the designing firms and layout designers, these brokers are less expensive, and hence the manufacturers would prefer them. Designing companies and architects have to formulate new business techniques to be in the market, by modifying their methods to suit the environment.
William McDonough + Partners designed the Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies at Oberlin College in Ohio in collaboration with students, local citizens, teachers and advocates of sustainability movements. The environmental-friendly building design featured landscapes, energy efficient designs, efficient water systems, natural lighting, refuse systems and extreme weather insulation and ventilation.

The Digital Verification Corps: Amnesty International's Volunteers for the Age of Social Media
December 6, 2019 | BY Sam Dubberley
Amnesty International's Digital Verification Corps (DVC) was set up in 2016 to address three main challenges.
First, how can Amnesty find new ways to engage volunteers in the 21st century, in a way that their efforts make real, meaningful contributions to the protection of human rights in the digital age.
Second, how can Amnesty confront the challenge of collating and verifying the overwhelming amount of digital content that exists in the world today, some of it depicting human rights abuses.
Third, how does Amnesty assist in training the next generation of human rights researchers in the tools and skills needed to do this.
From these three challenges, the DVC was born. The network consists of six universities – the University of Hong Kong; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Toronto; the University of Cambridge; the University of Essex; and the University of Pretoria – to train volunteer students to verify videos and photos of potential human rights violations from conflicts and crises across the world. The outcome of their efforts directly supports Amnesty's research teams working to monitor and report on human rights violations globally.

What is the Digital Verification Corps
With more than 100 members at any one time, these DVC volunteers are the Amnesty letter writers of the 21st century.
Students come from different academic backgrounds, such as law and journalism, and are trained in open source investigation methods, allowing them to verify the authenticity, location, and time of videos and photographs posted on social media. This includes learning techniques such as reverse image search, geolocation, and shadow analysis. Amnesty researchers are then able to incorporate verified open source audiovisual information into their research reports, briefings, or press releases. Just as importantly, DVC students also advise Amnesty when a video is not what we are told it is – to ensure false information isn't mistakenly used in Amnesty outputs.
Due to the graphic and disturbing nature of some of the videos that DVC participants necessarily watch, Amnesty prioritizes the mental health of everyone involved in the programme, training the universities and the students in vicarious trauma and how to recognize it. All volunteers receive mental health resiliency training and are supervised for signs of vicarious trauma throughout the programme.
The programme also benefits from its diversity. Based over four continents and 14 timezones, students can verify content from events in different languages, react to local crises or problems further away and, most importantly, learn from each other as they collaborate on projects or meet at one of the annual DVC summits.
In November 2019, the DVC won the Times Higher Education Award for International Collaboration of the Year.
"We were incredibly impressed with the nature of the partnership, how it led to an impressive network of student investigators, and how it has delivered and continues to deliver data-driven evidence that can be used to prosecute war crimes and support society-building and social justice."
– THE Award Judges
Moving into the future, the DVC is aiming to expand its reach in two ways. First, it is looking for appropriate partners in locations around the world where it is not yet active. Second, it is also aiming to conduct research into new areas, such as the targeted impact of disinformation on human rights. With so-called "fake news" (which we prefer to refer to as mis- and disinformation) and new technologies, such as deepfakes or synthetic media, on the horizon, digital verification and the skills associated with it are an increasing part of the toolkit all human rights investigators require.

If you love your leisure and spend laying down and relax then lounger chairs might interest you. There are various types of lounger chairs made for the different type of reasons but all of them give you the same relaxing feeling you want in your off time. The type of lounger chair depends on where you want to spend time, but with a lounger chair, you can spend it more comfortably. But to buy the suitable one you first need to know the types of chairs and also how to select the right one. Here you'll get all the help necessary to do so.
The type lounger chair you can use is completely variable on the place you are thinking of using it. If you want one in your living room then the fancy ones with comfortable cushions are perfect. They also look good with your interior style if decorated properly. Lounger chairs near the pool are always everyone's favorite. There is nothing like having a sun bath on a lounger near the pool. If you are thinking of hitting the beach a compatible lounger chair might help you there. You can work on your tan while relaxing on a lounger chair on your favorite beach. These type of chairs are very light and foldable so you can easily take them anywhere you want with you.
Now, choosing the right one also depends on where you are planning to use it. If you are buying one lounger for indoor uses them comfort is what you should look for. Usually, a lounger with a quality cushion is always comfortable. If you are getting one for the beach then look for something that can be easily folded and taken anywhere you want. The weight matters in this case. For poolside loungers wooden loungers are always the best choice. Metallic loungers are also good as poolside chairs come under direct sunlight and weather without any kind of protection. Buying a durable one may cost you a bit more but it's worth it.
The fabric used in the lounger only matters with the indoors ones. You can buy cotton ones as they are more comfortable but leather loungers will last longer. Beach lounger chairs are basically just the frame and rest is plastic or similar. Poolside loungers don't need any covers buy you can buy the plastic ones if you like.

news Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) has renewed its telecoms and managed services agreements with Singtel and its subsidiary Optus, extending both to 2020.
Optus and ANZ first established their partnership in 2009, via a five year ICT services deal announced in 2013.
The agreement sees Optus providing domestic and international data network services, and mobility, collaboration, contact centre and managed services to support ANZ's operations.
"Our strategic relationship with ANZ continues to go from strength-to-strength and we are delighted with this significant contract milestone," said John Paitaridis, Optus Business Managing Director. "We are highly committed to continuing our innovative approach to supporting ANZ's critical ICT requirements and business operations in Australia and across Asia."
"Optus Business is focused on delivering leading ICT managed services to Australian enterprises and government organisations, and this multi-year contract extension with ANZ is testament to our capability, innovation and demonstrated track record," Paitaridis added.
According to Shayne Elliott, ANZ's CEO, the services provided by Singtel have played an "important role", with the bank utilising the technology to make banking easier for its customers and to provide innovative ways for staff to collaborate.
Chua Sock Koong, Singtel Group Chief Executive Officer commented: "We are very pleased with the ANZ contract renewal and look forward to continuing to leverage the Singtel Group's scale, expertise and innovation to support ANZ's business objectives in years to come."
In late April, ANZ notably became the first Australian bank to offer Apple Pay to its five million customers in the country.
Customers at the time were able to use Apple Pay to make purchases using the mobile app with either an ANZ Visa debit or credit card, or an ANZ American Express credit card. It further added the MasterCard option in August.

Inside TIJustice, World
Iran sentences Bauer, Fattal to eight years
Terrible news. Iran state television has reported that Investigative Fund reporter Shane Bauer and his companion Josh Fattal have been sentenced to eight years in prison in Iran….
Esther Kaplan August 20, 2011
Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, Josh Fattal
The television report cited an unnamed judicial source, and Bauer and Fattal's attorney, Massoud Shafei, has yet to be formally notified, according to the Los Angeles Times.
As the LAT notes:
Their case was tried by a branch of the country's politically charged Revolutionary Court, which handles national security cases and has been accused of failing to abide by international or even Iranian standards of jurisprudence, especially when it comes to defendants' rights.
The Washington Post cites the website irinn.ir as saying the two were each sentenced to three years for illegal entry into Iran and five years for spying for the United States, again citing unnamed sources in Iran's judiciary. It is not yet clear whether those sentences include the more than two years the two men have already served in Tehran's Evin Prison; they were arrested on July 31, 2009.
Both charges are absurd. Eye witness testimony uncovered in our own reporting, corroborated by the account of Sarah Shourd, Bauer's fiance, who was released last year, strongly indicate that the three friends, who had embarked on a hiking trip in the scenic mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan, only crossed the border into Iran after being gestured off their hiking trail by armed guards. The spying charge is ludicrous, and Iran has never offered a shred of evidence for this claim. That's because no such evidence exists.
Bauer and Fattal have 20 days to appeal the sentence. As the Washington Post editorialized earlier this month, as rumors were circulating of a possible compassionate release for Ramadan, "Promises of leniency by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the case have not been borne out….If the court finds them guilty on the charges of espionage, we hope they will be sentenced to time served and released." The choice to release them now lies in Ahmadinejad's hands.

Friday Fun Blog: Hassel Free Edition
This Week in Getting Hacked: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems Edition
The Internet: Then vs. Now
Published by scott on November 13, 2015
hasselfree
It's that time again! It's time for the Friday Fun Blog! Each week, we bring you the best, most interesting, and awesome links from around the web to waste a lot of time on your Friday. We're sponsored, as always, by Dave & Buster's!
On to the links!
-Today is an historic day in the history of our country, nay, THE WORLD. Today marks the day that David Hasselhoff officially changed his name to just "David Hoff". One day, you'll be able to tell your kids and grandkids where you were at and what you were doing when you found out that a B-list actor on B-list shows made a decision that would shape the world and change the course of history forever. This truly is a momentous day, on par with other great moments like the end of WWII, or the 2000 Presidential election. Also, did you know they give you a giant certificate if you change your name? Hilarious. All hail David Hoff!
Hassel free. Get it? GET IT?! I'll see myself out.
-Speaking of funny things, check out this list of the funniest screenplays ever, as voted by the WGA (Writer's Guild of America). Topping the list is the Woody Allen classic Annie Hall, followed by Some Like It Hot, Groundhog Day, Airplane!, and Tootsie to round out the top 5. Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy Grail are two personal favorites which crack the top 10. Watching every movie on this list sounds like a fantastic way to waste a weekend… so, I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
-If you've ever seen a show like CSI or Mythbusters, you've likely seen the ballistics gel that mimics human skin being used to test different bullets or impacts from guns. The problem is, they usually only do one bullet or whatever for the test, and sometimes, one bullet isn't enough. Well, here's a dude UNLOADING a glock 9 into a human mold of ballistics gel. This is incredibly satisfying.
-Google has been testing its driverless cars for a few years now before they begin mass-producing them. If you're around the Silicon Valley area, you've probably seen a driverless car roaming the streets. But what happens when a driverless car gets pulled over? Who gets the ticket? Well, that's what happened when one of Google's self-driving cars got pulled over doing 24mph in a 35mph zone. The police officer informed the passenger of the driverless car about California traffic violations, but didn't write a ticket. The team behind the Google self-driving cars released a statement saying that they had capped their vehicles to 25mph because they didn't want 'hem running through neighborhoods at high speeds; people are already wary of a driverless car, no need to give them a bigger scare by having it speed, right? But for real, though…who gets the ticket?
-The Voyager spacecrafts were launched into space a few decades ago with the intent of gathering intel about our solar system, and then just sort of coasting out into the endlessness of space, just to see what happens. They placed a bunch of artifacts, cultural symbols, etchings and other stuff on the probe to give an idea of what life was like on Earth for any alien life form that may encounter it, including 116 photographs of humans and what life was like on Earth. Voyager 1 was also responsible for taking the greatest and most humbling photograph in the history of mankind, The Pale Blue Dot (Hint: that little dot in the blue circle is Earth. Remember that the next time you complain about Starbucks putting too much whipped cream on your frap).
-Speaking of the Voyager spacecrafts, here's a handy guide on how far they've flown since their initial launch, and how quickly it would take for them to get back to earth while traveling at the speed of light. Crazy.

Search for answers begins in sinking of ship
CURT ANDERSON and JASON DEAREN
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- On board the 790-foot El Faro when it set out on its doomed voyage into the path of Hurricane Joaquin were five Polish workers whose job was to prepare the engine room for a retrofitting.
Could that work have caused the loss of power that led to the U.S. container ship's sinking?
The vessel's owners say they don't believe so, but the question -- along with the captain's decision to plot a course near the storm -- will almost certainly be part of an investigation launched Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board into the disaster near the Bahamas that may have claimed 33 lives.
"We don't have all the answers, I'm sorry for that. I wish we did," Anthony Chiarello, president and CEO of ship owner Tote Inc., told reporters. "But we will find out what happened."
The 41-year-old El Faro was scheduled to be retired from Caribbean duty and retrofitted in the coming months for service between the West Coast and Alaska, said Phil Greene, another Tote executive.
The El Faro and its equally aged sister vessel were being replaced on the Jacksonville-to-Puerto Rico run by two brand-new ships capable of carrying much more cargo and emitting less pollution.
When the El Faro left Jacksonville on Sept. 29, the five Polish workers came along with 28 U.S. crew members to do some prepatory work in the engine room, according to Greene. He gave no details on the nature of their work.
But "I don't believe based on the work they were doing that they would have had anything to do with what affected the propulsion," said Greene, a retired Navy admiral.
The NTSB dispatched a team from Washington to investigate.
"It's just a tragic, tragic situation," NTSB vice chairman Bella Dinh-Zarr said.
The El Faro had no history of engine failure, Greene said, and the company said the vessel was modernized in 1992 and 2006. Company records show it underwent its last annual Coast Guard inspection in March.
The American Bureau of Shipping, a nonprofit organization that sets safety and other standards for ships, did full hull and machinery inspections in February with no red flags, the company said.
F. John Nicoll, a retired captain who spent years piloting the run to Puerto Rico, said he doubts the age of the El Faro was a factor, noting that there are many older ships plying U.S. waters without incident.
He predicted the NTSB will look into whether company pressure to deliver the cargo on time despite the menacing weather played a role in the tragedy -- something Tote executives have denied.
"Time and money are an important thing" in the shipping industry, Nicoll said. He said there should be emails and other messages between the captain and the company to help answer the question.
The Coast Guard, meanwhile, continued searching by sea and air for any sign of survivors. The ship is believed to have gone down in 15,000 feet of water after reporting its last known position Thursday. One unidentified body has been found.
Tote executives said the captain, Michael Davidson, planned a heading that would have enabled the El Faro to bypass Joaquin if the ship hadn't lost power. That left it vulnerable to the storm's 140 mph winds and battering waves of more than 50 feet.
They said Davidson was in regular communication before the storm with the company, which can override a captain's decisions.
Davidson attended the Maine Maritime Academy and has a home in Windham, Maine.
"He was a very squared-away sailor, very meticulous with details, very prudent, which is important when you're working on the water. He took his job seriously," said Nick Mavadones, a friend since childhood and general manager of Casco Bay Lines, where he and Davidson worked together.
Still, seafarers who have long experience in the Caribbean say its weather can be treacherous.
"It can go from calm, in a matter of five or six hours, to hell," said Angel Ortiz, who retired as a merchant mariner after 39 years.
Anderson reported from Miami. Associated Press video journalist Tony Winton in Jacksonville and AP writer Connie Cass in Washington contributed to this story.


The University of Washington's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI) conducted a survey at 25 syringe exchange program (SEP) sites around the state. Informed by data and compassion, the sites connect substance users to sterile syringes, overdose prevention, and the expanding network of nonprofits and government programs designed for those ready to start their journey to recovery.
SEPs operate in nearly 18 counties of Washington State and are sponsored by local health departments, community-based organizations, and tribal entities. Although syringe exchange is legal, many operate discreetly due to the stigma associated with their services and the people they serve. ADAI's survey asked a range of questions including what type of drug respondents use, how they use it, and whether they have tried quitting in the past.
The most striking results illustrate that people who want help have a hard time getting it. These people are often hindered by poverty, homelessness, or physical and mental health conditions. These barriers stop users from taking that first step to recovery, indicating that a more holistic support system is needed.
One respondent, when asked if they felt able to quit using answered, "I'm not sure I could [quit drugs]. I'm homeless and any place I go people are using." This is the grim reality for many users who want to begin recovery.
People visiting a SEP site have an average income of $466 dollars a month, with nearly half reporting they have no legal income whatsoever. Many have tried to get and keep employment, but their opioid use has too strong a grip on their body. "I'll just f*@# up again," says one person, "I did it before and it didn't work." This defeated attitude shows the impact of stigma. The medical community recognizes addiction as a disease, but people dealing with it too often perceive addiction as a personal or moral failing.
Syringe exchange programs provide an important public health benefit. A typical site will disseminate important information on overdose, naloxone kits, and sterile syringes to stifle the spread of blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV. SEP sites also provide the chance for users to connect with programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and outreach services for housing. This helps users get the wrap-around services they need to support recovery.
Perhaps most important, SEP sites help to establish relationships with people who use who would otherwise be completely disconnected from the social support system.
There is no quick fix for the opioid crisis. This data shows that many people want to get help, but are not able to overcome the barriers without increased support. The SEP sites are part of an innovative crisis-response network that is on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic. Collaboration between SEP sites, local governments, and nonprofits can champion compassion and science – and finally bring an end to the opioid crisis.

Like Earl Warren in 1942, Texas AG Ken Paxton is fanning 'public hysteria'

On New Year's Day, the Rose Bowl college football game was played in Arlington, Texas, not in the venerable Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena. The reason: Texas had looser coronavirus rules than California, where not even players' parents would be allowed in the 92,542-seat stadium.
It was only the second time the game was not played in Pasadena. The first time was on Jan. 1, 1942, just 25 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Federal officials worried that any mass gathering on the West Coast could attract another Japanese attack, either by air or by sabotage instigated by some from the large Japanese American population in California.
A month later Walter Lippman, perhaps the most influential newspaper columnist of his day, had dinner with the attorney general of California and a local district attorney. A few days later Lippman published a column that, according to the DA, parroted almost word-for-word what he was told by the attorney general.
"The Pacific Coast is in imminent danger of a combined attack from within and without. … It is a fact … [that] there has been no important sabotage on the Pacific Coast," wrote Lippman. "… This is not, as some would like to think, that there is nothing to be feared. It is a sign that the blow is well-organized and that it is held back until it can be struck with maximum effect."
The fact that there was no evidence of sabotage by Japanese Americans showed how crafty and well-organized they were.
The attorney general whom Lippman was quoting without naming was Earl Warren, who would become the chief justice of what might be the most liberal U.S. Supreme Court in history. He was not alone in being caught up in the mass "hysteria" that swept the nation.
That's not my term, but that of none other than the FBI director at the time, J. Edgar Hoover. He wrote in a memo to U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle a week before Lippman's dinner with Warren: "The necessity for mass evacuation [of Japanese Americans] is based primarily upon public and political pressure rather than on factual data. Public hysteria and, in some instances, the press and radio announcers, have resulted in a tremendous amount of pressure being brought on [California Gov. Culbert Olson and Attorney General Warren]."
Biddle agreed and became the highest-level official to oppose what became one of the most shameful government actions in U.S. history.
That "public hysteria" would lead to the internment of 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans during the war. Ethnic Japanese in Hawaii, then a U.S. territory, were not "evacuated" because they made up 40 percent of the island's population and were necessary for its economy. In addition, they were not subject to the racism prevalent on the mainland. Yet there were no instances of domestic sabotage from their ranks either in Hawaii or on the mainland.

How to lower the noise and help clear the air
by Rick Casey
The Supreme Court stops the steal
Earl Warren became governor of California partly based on popular approval of his backing of the evacuation of Japanese Americans. Later, in his memoirs, he would issue a one-paragraph apology. When he was asked about the matter during an oral history interview in 1971, "he broke down and burst into tears."
These details come from Richard Reeves' book, Infamy: The Shocking Story of the Japanese American Internment in World War II. I tell them because of today's parallels.
The rage-filled, circus-like storming of the U.S. Capitol by thousands of "patriots" last week was, in the case of many of them, sparked by a sincere belief that they were defending the nation because Democrats had stolen the presidency from Donald Trump. It amounted to mass hysteria on a stunning scale. There is no more factual basis for that notion than there was that Japanese Americans were plotting insurrection.
Before exploring another parallel, there are two significant differences. The first is that the World War II hysteria was instigated by a very real and frightening event, the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. The current hysteria is stoked by the president of the United States, who has fashioned out of thin air the notion that Joe Biden's 7 million popular vote margin and 74-vote Electoral College margin was the result of a massive conspiracy. It is a conspiracy so broad that it involves thousands of local election officials, including Republican governors and secretaries of state and scores of judges, including Trump's own Supreme Court nominees. Now even his faithful vice president is complicit. Like the Japanese Americans, they have cleverly somehow covered up their tracks.
I'll discuss below the second way in which the current hysteria diverges from the World War II version. First, a surprising parallel.
Today's hysteria has another attorney general as a cheerleader. Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, has been fomenting public hysteria with allegations of massive election frauds for years.
Paxton led a last-ditch attempt to get the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the presidential election in enough swing states to give the victory to Trump. Seventeen other Republican attorneys general joined him, but the suit was so ludicrous that the court unanimously (including Trump's three nominees) declined to even consider it.
As was the case 79 years ago, both the head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, and the attorney general, Trump uber-loyalist William Barr, sided with reality. They publicly stated investigations showed no evidence of voter fraud massive enough to swing the election.
Paxton knows this. According to Hearst newspapers, he doubled his staff and spent almost twice as much money in 2020 chasing voter fraud as in 2018 but found half as many cases. More than 22,000 hours of staff time netted 16 minor infractions, all of them Houston-area voters who listed false addresses on their registration forms.
Paxton isn't the only Texas leader stoking the hysteria. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, also a vocal promoter of the mass voter fraud myth, won national attention by offering a million dollars from his campaign account to whistleblowers who could provide evidence leading to convictions for significant voter fraud. As far as we can tell, the only response he has received is from the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, who gleefully cited a man who cast a vote on behalf of his dead mother – for Trump. I guess the failure of a million-dollar reward shows just how disciplined the conspirators are.
Then there is Texas' U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who upstaged Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley not only by objecting to the certification of the presidential election by several key states but by calling for a 10-day "emergency audit" of votes in those states.

Cruz cited "unprecedented allegations of voter fraud." They were unprecedented in the chasm between the scope of the allegations and any evidence accompanying them. Nevertheless, Cruz said, the allegations had "produced a deep, deep distrust of our democratic process across the country" and that "we in Congress have an obligation to do something about that."
It is, of course, absurd to think that a 10-day congressional "audit," whatever that is, would reverse the doubts sowed for years among the faithful by Trump, Cruz himself, and other Trump acolytes together with right-wing media. Cruz's real intention was made clear when, to his embarrassment, citizens on his contact lists received on their phones fundraising appeals bragging about his absurd and futile attempt to keep Congress from certifying Biden's victory. The texts went out while the Capitol was being overrun.
Here's the other way in which the World War II analogy breaks down: It is inconceivable that, unlike Earl Warren, Ken Paxton or Dan Patrick or Ted Cruz will ever offer an apology or shed a tear over the damage they have done and the responsibility they share for the election fraud hysteria that led to last Wednesday's tragic assault on the Capitol.

Lo Sbarro Monster G è un fuoristrada realizzato in Svizzera dal designer Franco Sbarro nel 1987, su commissione di un cittadino tedesco residente a Los Angeles.

Tecnica
Il veicolo impiegava un telaio derivato da una Range Rover avvolto da una carrozzeria aperta realizzata interamente in kevlar. Gli pneumatici sono stati realizzati appositamente dalla Goodyear per avvolgere cerchi recuperati da un Boeing 747 dismesso.
Come propulsore è stato impiegato un Mercedes-Benz 6.4 litri ad 8 cilindri dalla potenza di 350 cv. Nel bagagliaio è stata posizionata una batteria di riserva ed una piccola mini-moto in caso di emergenza.
