Hound lovers are going to be crazy about Bea, a 6 year-old Hound mix girl with a curly tail suggesting there might be some Northern breed in her family tree. This friendly and outgoing lady came into an overcrowded county dog shelter as a stray and when she wasn't claimed, made the trip to Canine Lifeline so she would have more time to find the perfect new home. While we don't have any history on Bea's previous life, we have found her to be the perfect guest in her foster home. Bea is crate-trained and likely to be housetrained too although we can't promise she won't have some accidents in her new home as she gets used the routine. For a Hound, Bea is pretty quiet, only barking in her foster home to let someone know when she has to go outside and again when she's ready to come in. She does well with other dogs but would also likely be fine as the only dog in the home as she hasn't shown any real interest in playing with her fellow foster dogs. Bea will sit for a treat but is going to need some work on her leash manners as she does like to pull when out for a walk. Bea really enjoyed having her pictures taken and made excellent eye contact with the camera. She's a bright-eyed, alert, and attentive girl who's going to make a great pal for one lucky person or family. Bea weighs about 41 pounds and her adoption fee is $250. She's spayed, heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, up to date on vaccinations including bivalent canine influenza, wormed, on flea preventative, and microchipped. All Canine Lifeline adoptions come with a two-week adjustment period to make sure it's a great match before the adoption is finalized. Please email info@caninelifeline.org if you're interested in Bea. An approved application is required before we schedule meets with any of our dogs. Please note that we don't place our dogs in homes with children under 7 years of age. We try to respond to inquiries within 72 hours so if you haven't heard from us within that time frame, please check your junkmail or spam folder to make sure our reply hasn't landed in there.
Bea is a good-looking dog who is also sweet and gentle. She needs some training with leash manners but she is a very nice dog.
Bea is such a lovely dog. She is a calm and gentle soul. She is also smart and eager to please her human friends. Bea really loves treats so she should respond very well to training efforts.
This very nice dog (who really enjoys being hugged) is waiting for a forever home where she will really be loved.

Q: How to move all files of a specific type between Google Drive folders I was delighted to find Amit Agarwal's script in Moving Files In Google Drive Using Google Script, that allows one to move a file from one folder to another on Google Drive.
function moveFiles(sourceFileId, targetFolderId) {
  var file = DriveApp.getFileById(sourceFileId);
  DriveApp.getFolderById(targetFolderId).addFile(file);
  file.getParents().next().removeFile(file);
}

How could this be modified to select only files of a specific type, say PDFs?

A: You should check the MIME type of the file and then move the matching files. Here's a modified version of the original snippet.
function moveFiles(source, target) {
  var sourceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(source);
  var targetFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(target)
  var files = sourceFolder.getFilesByType(MimeType.PDF);
  while (files.hasNext()) {
    var file = files.next();
    targetFolder.addFile(file);
    file.getParents().next().removeFile(file);
  }
}

Boris Johnson makes himself comfortable as he settles into life as Prime Minister
Boris Johnson is really digging being Prime Minister.
A series of pictures showed him looking comfortable on Wednesday after he took over.
In one image Mr Johnson is shown with his feet up on the desk in his temporary office inside Admiralty House, London, minutes before seeing the Queen and heading to Downing Street.
In another snap he's seen arriving in the Cabinet Room in Number 10. No-one could blame him for looking so confident after polls showed the Tories had been boosted by a 'Boris bounce' after his election.
The Conservatives have gained ten points to stand at 30%, a survey by Deltapoll for the Mail on Sunday showed.
That puts them five points ahead of Labour at 25%, with the Liberal Democrats on 18% and the Brexit Party on 14%.
If Labour was to drop Jeremy Corbyn as leader, the poll says the party would shoot into the lead at 34%, with the Tories on 28%, the Brexit Party on 14% and the Lib Dems on 13%.
But these are just polls and things could change, especially considering Brexit is on the horizon.
In the meantime Mr Johnson has promised a staggering £3.6 billion investment for left-behind towns.
He visited Manchester yesterday to pledge funding for a new rail link between the city and Leeds.
Mr Johnson also promised action on housing and crime.
He said: 'I want to be the PM who does with Northern Powerhouse Rail what we did with Crossrail in London. 'And today I am going to deliver on my commitment to that vision with a pledge to fund the Leeds to Manchester route.
'It will be up to local people and us to come to an agreement on the exact proposal they want – but I have tasked officials to accelerate their work on these plans so that we are ready to do a deal in the autumn.'

YWAM Immerse Cornwall is a platform to the nations, It is called to embrace and encourage al generations into a deeper relationship with God and release them into their missional call. Cornwall is small country located right in the bottom of the South West of England. Cornwall is well known for its; beautiful beaches, mining history, stunning wildlife, delicious delicacies, small quirky fishing villages and its fresh produce. It's a very popular tourist destination, where thousands of people flock down every year during the summer season to make the most of the beaches and beautiful countryside. Despite the beauty of Cornwall, it does hold a darker history, Cornwall is also very well known for its paganism, witchcraft, poverty and mental health. Part of the Cornish culture is paganism which has had a hold over Cornwall for years. Many people living in Cornwall have been involved with some form of witchcraft, this is a massive battle that churches are fighting. Cornwall is one of the poorest counties in Western Europe, with many people jobless, homeless and living below the poverty line. YWAM Immerse Cornwall is located in the heart of Cornwall, which is where the poverty is at it's worst. Cornwall has a strong hand of depression and heaviness over the county, this is something that we as YWAM Immerse have been interceding into to break the heaviness this holds over Cornwall. Despite all this we have seen God moving across Cornwall, we have seen God string Christians and churches over Cornwall to seek God more and see revival break out!

The DEA Is Warning Of A Rise In Overdose Deaths From Fake Drugs Laced With Fentanyl
By Scott Neuman,
A patch containing the active ingredient fentanyl is shown by a pharmacist. The painkiller fentanyl, which can be up to 100 times stronger than heroin, is a growing cause of overdose deaths in the U.S., according to the DEA.
Updated September 27, 2021 at 3:51 PM ET
In its first public safety alert in six years, the Drug Enforcement Administration is warning about a dramatic increase in fake prescription drugs being sold on the black market containing a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl.
The DEA said the counterfeit pills — made to look like real opioid medications such as oxycodone, Percocet or Adderall — are sold on the street by dealers or online, including through social media platforms.
"If you have a smartphone and you're sitting on the sofa at home ... your drug dealer is right there in your hands," DEA spokesperson Anne Edgecomb said in an interview with NPR.
The agency said it has seized more than 9.5 million fake pills so far this year, more than the last two years combined. It said its lab has found that two out of every five fake pills with fentanyl contain a potentially lethal dose of the drug.
"The United States is facing an unprecedented crisis of overdose deaths fueled by illegally manufactured fentanyl and methamphetamine," DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said. "Counterfeit pills that contain these dangerous and extremely addictive drugs are more lethal and more accessible than ever before."
The last time the agency issued such a public safety alert was in 2015 when it warned of a sharp increase on the street of fentanyl-laced heroin.
The latest warning comes amid an ongoing epidemic of drug overdoses in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 93,000 Americans died from a drug overdose last year — more than ever before.
"Fentanyl, the synthetic opioid most commonly found in counterfeit pills, is the primary driver of this alarming increase in overdose deaths," the DEA said.
This alert doesn't only apply to fake opioid medications. DEA officials said a knockoff version of the stimulant Adderall is being sold on the black market laced with methamphetamines.
The alert issued Monday doesn't apply to legally prescribed and dispensed legitimate pharmaceutical medications, the DEA said.

Residents Get a Glimpse Into Life in the Village, Circa 1900

The Floral Park Historical Society Unveils a Handcrafted, Three-Dimensional Diorama
History was brought to life at the Floral Park Pool Building on Sunday, May 22. After months of hard work, the Floral Park Historical Society (FPHS) unveiled a diorama titled, "Floral Park Circa 1900: The Home of Flowers." Keynoted by FPHS president Ann V. Corbett, the event drew a standing room only crowd.
"The history of Floral Park, much like other communities across the country, has had a time for jubilation and a time for melancholy over the years," Corbett said. "In the past few years and just days ago, we mourned the loss of several wonderful young people. We, as a close and caring community of people, have stored memories of them in our hearts and in our minds and continue to share the unimaginable grief felt by their loved ones," she added, before engaging the audience in a moment of silence. Corbett likened the grief Floral Park endures today to the grief of Floral Park founder John Lewis Childs when his grandson, a military pilot, died in a plane crash in Germany during World War II.
Conversely, the diorama depicts a jubilant time in Floral Park's history, "when Childs' [seed] business was flourishing and the community was blossoming," Corbett said. "It was a time when passengers on the train would be privileged to see fields of beautiful flowers that stretched for over a mile."
The underpinnings of this endeavor stem from a $10,000 historical society/museum grant Floral Park received from Nassau County last year. Nassau County Legislators Richard J. Nicolello and Vincent T. Muscarella, both of whom were present at the diorama unveiling, worked with the FPHS to help secure the grant, which was derived from Nassau County motel and hotel taxes.
While the grant helped subsidize the diorama, "The cost of a professionally made diorama was found to be prohibitive, so the society embarked on a different plan and decided to have the members make the diorama," Corbett said. "Walter Gosden, a founding member of the society, volunteered to lead the project."
Gosden worked with fellow volunteers Dot Carson, Sally Corbett, Mary Gosden, Bernice Hayes, Claire Mansfield, Russ O'Brien and Jeanne Petta to bring a slice of Floral Park's history to life. Set atop a 4- by 4-foot piece of plywood, more than 20 handmade scaled-down structures take viewers back in time. Buildings include the Floral Park School, the Methodist Church, the Park Hotel, the original post office, a train station and several homes, all of which are set adjacent to early roadways accented by fields of shrubs, flowers and gardens.
Six fourth-grade students had the honor of unveiling the diorama: Jillian Rachlin and Eliza Bayer from Floral Park-Bellerose School, Caitlin Fitzgerald and Kaitlin Walsh from Our Lady of Victory School, and Matthew Fonseca and Shane Palma from John Lewis Childs School. The diorama will take up permanent residence at the Floral Park Museum, which is housed in Floral Park Centennial Hall.
Following the unveiling, audience members were treated to a "diorama story" video produced by New Hyde Park Memorial senior Rocco Vaglica, who is enrolled in the Sewanhaka Graphic Arts Program.
The diorama is just one of many ongoing projects spearheaded by the Floral Park Historical Society, which was chartered by New York State in 1999. The society's mission is to collect and preserve historical memorabilia, photos and artifacts related to Floral Park and nearby surrounding areas, and to help educate adults and children about the community's history.
Indeed, "The society brings our past to life, and we need that opportunity to pair ourselves with our ancestors," said Mayor Thomas J. Tweedy. "This diorama unveiling is more than just a tribute to our past. It might be a stimulant for some young [residents] to join the society and to study history and to draw from history predictions for our future," he said.
Membership is open to Floral Park residents and nonresidents alike. Types of annual membership include student, $5 dues; individual, $10 dues; family, $15 dues; and business, $25 dues. For information, visit the society's website at www.floralparkhistorical.org, or contact Ann Corbett at (516) 775-6849 or anncorbett@att.net.

2012 – The year that almost wasn't
President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria (file photo)
'Glitters, grease, glitz: Son of Jigawa State Governor, Aminu Lamido, was arrested with $40,000 (N7.5m), an amount in excess of authorised $10,000 for an overseas trip.'
By Ikeddy Isiguzo
For a year that nearly did not start, 2012 had its high moments, like Nigerians waking up on January 1, only for their ululations of "Happy New Year" to be abbreviated on learning they might have to sell some of their kids if they wanted to fuel.
If you think it was a joke, ask those who pawned their wards to raise the return fares from their villages to the cities after new fuel prices threw budgets – except governments' – out of control.
The more enthralling details of the year follow in order of their irreverent peripherals to the lives of Nigerians who learnt the important lesson that with government, almost anything is possible.
How has Nigeria changed in 10 years, this piece I did in 2012 grants us glimpses.
*Absences*: Dame Patience Jonathan has no constitutional roles, unless amendments sail through, but Nigerians wondered if she had wandered off the Presidency. Was she on holiday? Was she ill? Had she lost interest in living in the Presidential Villa?
Rumours swirled until she made a triumphant entry into Abuja to public kisses and embraces from President Goodluck Jonathan, whose versions of his wife's sojourn still runs contrary to public defences by his media minders.
Whatever it was has limited Dame's interactions with her numerous admirers.
_Mrs. Aisha Buhari holds the record for longest absence of the First Lady from the Villa. The President soldiers on. We are not offered any explanations even with her major abode said to be Dubai._ *Blather*: Confusion continues over who warehoused $26.5 million plea bargain money construction company, Julius Berger, paid on the $180 million Halliburton bribe scandal, a confirmation that Nigerians and their government do not bank their money.
The President, like in all things, has a committee to locate the money. Please note, the money – equivalent of what the Federal Government is spending on three of its nine new universities – s not missing, it just cannot be found.
Also similar is ownership of $15 million in the custody of Central Bank of Nigeria, which former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, allegedly offered to the former Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, as bribe in 2007.
One would have thought the money belonged to Delta State, but the Federal Government and an individual appear determined to take it. Did $15 million earn any interest in five years?
_You do not have to scratch your head to find similarities in 2022.
Bombing, Bungling: We learnt differences between bombs, explosive devices, improvised explosive devices. Nigerians are still dying from bombing and bungling of the (in)security situation.
Hardly a day passed without someone dying from an explosion, especially in Kano and most of the North East that is becoming a vast wasteland.
We have made progress. The incidents have spread nationwide and Nigerians know the different types and explosives.
Clatter: You can almost hear the clatter of Governors Danbaba Suntai (Taraba) crashing in his self-piloted plane and Idris Wada (Kogi) shattering his limbs in a road accident. No height is safe for both high and lowly.
We wish them quick recovery.
Safety matters now centre more on insecurity and kidnapping.
Deaths: Explosions from a petrol tanker in Etche, Rivers State killed 200 people who were scooping fuel. Dana Air's crash took more than 100 to their grave, some are not yet buried. The killing of four university students in Aluu, near Port Harcourt, remains controversial. Gunmen killed Senator Gyang Dantong, and Gyang Fulani, Majority Leader of Plateau State House of Assembly at a funeral for 63 people attackers killed in Riyom, outside Jos.
Deputy Inspector General of Police, John Haruna died in a helicopter crash on assignment in Jos.
Other deaths from a helicopter – Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State and former National Security Adviser, General Owoye Andrew Azazi.
Nigerians are dying in higher numbers.
*Do give a damn, Sir*: Panellists infuriated the President over his assets declaration in a televised June media chat.
"The issue of public asset declaration is a matter of personal principle. I don't give a damn about it, even if you criticise me from heaven.
When I was the Vice President, that matter came up, and I told the former President (late Musa Yar'Adua) let's not start something that would make us play into the hands of people and create an anomalous situation in the country," he said. Even in death, Yar'Adua would be astounded about "an anomalous situation."
His widow and the President's wife were in a legal combat over an expanse of land in Abuja about this time.
Did Jonathan set asset declaration standards for Buhari?
Glitters, grease, glitz: Son of Jigawa State Governor, Aminu Lamido, was arrested with $40,000 (N7.5m), an amount in excess of authorised $10,000 for an overseas trip.
The money pales to nothing when compared with $7 million (about N1.1 billion) found on another passenger last October. There have been other arrests since.
There is no word yet about the owners of the money or why people are moving huge sums of money through the airports.
How much would have passed undetected? Finance Minister then, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said Nigeria lost a fifth of her oil production (500,000 barrels) daily to thieves, a daily revenue loss of more than N5 billion or more than N2 trillion year, about half of the 2012 budget.
_Oil matters remain oily. Unexplained money still found on people._
Guesswork: Not even government knows how much it earns from oil.
A presidential task force (no committee this time) nearly came to blows while submitting the report on oil and gas. Nuhu Ribadu, chairman, in the report claimed Nigeria lost more than $29 billion over 10 years to low pricing of its natural gas.
Steve Orosanye, a task force member and a presidential ally, rejected the report.
The President asked Orosanye to write his own report. Conflicting presidential positions rove from cancellation of the report, to setting up a white paper committee or ignoring it, the preferred option.
_Does this not remind you of the irony of government knowing that billions of dollars are lost yearly to thieves without an interest in finding the thieves?
House of Gaps: The House of Representatives jumped into the fuel subsidy and got burnt. Its ad hoc committee on administration of fuel subsidy asked the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, and 17 oil marketing companies to refund N1.7 trillion paid when supplies were not made.
Later a scandal broke with allegations that the committee demanded $620,000 as first tranche of a bribe running into billions of Naira. The matter is in court.
Herma Hembe, Chairman House's Committee on Capital Market and his deputy Chris Azubuogu, are in court for allegedly collecting $4,095 (mere N655,200) each as estacode to attend a training abroad, they neither attended nor returned the money.
Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Arunma Oteh, further alleged she rejected Hembe's demand for SEC to contribute N44 million to finance a public hearing.
Honourable Muhammed Gudaji Kazaure, APC member of the House of Representatives, Jigawa State, who speaks as if acting skits, is leading a move to recover N89 trillion from stamp duties.
He is hugely ignored.
If symptoms persist after 12 Month: Solution to persistent symptoms is to ignore the problem, government did that with all areas of its operations. Corruption, the President explains, according to him, as explained to him, stems from ignorance of Nigerians, who have decided to call anything without a name corruption.
There is no point fighting what Nigerians do not understand.
_Corruption has prospered ever since. It is now bold enough to fight for a place as a virtue.
Power Without Energy: A distinction between power and energy must be made.
The Minister of Power, in all its ramifications, is the President. Professor Barth Nnaji was the Minister of Energy. His departure has seen the President combining the Ministries of Power and Energy. Promises of more electricity are on going with contracts signed in important global languages: English, French, Germany and Mandarin (Chinese). Someone forgot Spanish; the world's third most widely spoken language.
Power is still in the hands of darkness.
Scams, Scandals, Slapsl: The House of Representatives probed withdrawal of N114 billion from the Stabilisation Account by the President in eight months for certain unbudgeted expenditures.
Shall we call that a scam? Two years after government released N5 billion to contractors for police barracks it was discovered the money had been diverted.
The Inspector-General's Special Task Force would find the fraudsters. Is that not a scandal? Some top officials in the Office of the Head of Civil Service are in court for diversion of N32.8 billion from the Nigeria Police Pension Fund. It is a slap on the police.
The Accountant-General of the Federation is making refunds in different currencies of over N109 billion he allegedly diverted.
Soon Means: Government favourite assuring lingo that something was being done about a situation is "soon". The best "soon" is another committee to under-study the situation, another having over-studied it.
Soon, we will find a better word for soon.
Also read: Remain hopeful for a better nation, Obi assures Nigerians
Spot The Indifference: Nigeria's 2012 Olympic team won no medals in London, the first time Nigeria did not win Olympic medals since 1988.
The paralympians (physically challenged competitors) won six gold, five silver and two bronze.
They still do not have training facilities nor do public buildings recognise the fact that some people are physically challenged.
Government policies have left many challenged in more areas.
Water Get Enemy: Afro juju musician Fela was wrong with his claim that "water e no get enemy". Floods, the worst for more than 80 years, swept through many parts of the country.
Water became the latest enemy of our long suffering people. The issue was forgotten once its media opportunities waned.
We had a repeat months ago, it won't take us 10 years to forget.
What's God's Offence?: If we are unwilling to do our work, we blame God. The Senate Committee on Establishment returned this decision on Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina – we have handed him over to God because powerful people are protecting him.
Maina claimed his team uncovered N3.3 trillion pension fund fraud while the Senate summoned Maina over theft of N195 billion at the Pension Office. Maina ignored the Senate which now wants God to conduct the hearing. Is it God's money that is missing? Or is God a Senator? Some Senators should refund public expenses on them and go home.
Maina is an unsettled settling matter, and so is the work ethics of most Senators.
Who, What We Aren't: Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Maryam Aloma Mukhtar, took flaks for refusing to administer oath of office on Justice Ifeoma Jombo-Ofo, as a Justice of the Appeal Court.
Of Anambra State origin, she married an Abia State indigene. Abia State nominated her to the Court of Appeal. Mukhtar ruled she was not from Abia.
Section 42 (1) of the Constitution states, "A citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person: (a) be subjected either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any executive or administrative action of the government, to disabilities or restrictions to which citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religion or political opinions are not made subject."
The Constitution awards us rights as citizens that we can only access as indigenes: what a contradiction!
Our rights as citizens remain in abeyance.
Zipper: The passing year brimmed with potentials, and so did Nigeria. We wasted them in niggles. With all these matters pending and lying in a presidential closet, and his preachment that haste was not a strong point of his, we would have a prospective (not prosperous) New Year. It is up to you to prospect and prosper. If you did not eat cassava bread in 2012, you have at least one great reason for bubbling into 2013.
How much have we changed in 10 years? How we vote in 2023 will answer that question.

Eagles Place Andrew Gardner on I.R.
Yesterday when asked about the injury to starting right guard Andrew Gardner, Chip Kelly offered virtually nothing on the extent of his foot that left him walking out of MetLife Stadium on crutches following the Week 3 win over the Jets.
"I'll go meet with the trainer after this," is all Kelly offered when asked about the extent of Gardner's injury. "I know he went out of the game, and we'll see what happens when I get back and meet with Chris [Director of Sports Medicine/Head Athletic Trainer Chris Peduzzi] and Doc [Head Team Physician/Head Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Peter DeLuca, M.D.] after this."
Today, the Eagles placed Gardner of the injured reserve, with a Lisfranc injury in his foot, ending his season.
Julian Vandervelde was signed in a corresponding move and Matt Tobin replaced him in the lineup on Sunday. But will he be the new starting right tackle? Again Kelly offered very little on the subject.
"We haven't discussed anything because we don't know what Gardner's status is," Kelly said on Monday.
Gardner just signed a three-year contract extension during the preseason where he seemingly won the starting right guard position with ease over Tobin, who will now have to prove he can be a capable NFL guard. On Sunday, when left tackle Jason Peters left the game, it was Tobin who swung out to left tackle instead of locking him in at right guard - where Dennis Kelly replaced him.

EU's top court invalidates data-sharing pact with US
The ruling could require EU regulators to vet any new transfers due to concerns that the US can snoop on people's data.
The European Court of Justice has invalidated the Privacy Shield deal with the US [File: Francois Lenoir/Reuters]
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has invalidated an agreement that allows big tech companies to transfer data to the United States.
Thursday's ruling against Privacy Shield could require regulators to vet any new transfers due to concerns that the US government can snoop on people's data for national security reasons.
It will no longer simply be assumed that tech companies like Facebook will adequately protect the privacy of its European users' data when it sends it to the US.
Rather, the EU and the US will likely have to find a new agreement that guarantees that Europeans' data is afforded the same privacy protection in the US as it is in the EU, which has some of the toughest standards in the world.
The case began after former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed in 2013 that the US government was snooping on people's online data and communications.
The revelations included detail on how Facebook gave US security agencies access to the personal data of Europeans.
The Schrems case
Austrian activist and law student Max Schrems that year filed a complaint against Facebook, which has its EU base in Ireland, arguing that personal data should not be sent to the US, as many companies do, because the data protection is not as strong as in Europe.
Though the legal case was triggered by concerns over Facebook in particular, it could have far-reaching implications for all tech companies that move large amounts of data over the internet if regulators find that US privacy protections are insufficient and block the transfers.
Things like email, flight and hotel reservations would not be affected.
Schrems said the ruling amounted to a victory for privacy.
"The US will have to engage in serious surveillance reform to get back to a 'privileged' status for US companies," he wrote on Twitter.
Companies use legal mechanisms called standard contractual clauses that force businesses to abide by strict EU privacy standards when transferring messages, photos and other information.
Companies like Facebook routinely move such data among its servers around the world, and the clauses – stock terms and conditions – are used to ensure the EU rules are maintained when data leaves the bloc.
'Legal uncertainty'
The ECJ ruled on Thursday that those clauses are still valid. However, it declared invalid the umbrella agreement between the US and the EU on data transfers, called Privacy Shield.
The court said in its rulings that there are "limitations on the protection of personal data arising from the domestic law of the United States on the access and use by US public authorities of such data transferred from the European Union to that third country".
Alexandre Roure, a senior manager at Computer and Communications Industry Association, said the decision "creates legal uncertainty for the thousands of large and small companies on both sides of the Atlantic that rely on Privacy Shield for their daily commercial data transfers".
"We trust that EU and US decision-makers will swiftly develop a sustainable solution, in line with EU law, to ensure the continuation of data flows which underpins the transatlantic economy," he said.

Jefferson Bank is working on plans to move its headquarters to 1.7 acres of land that its executives purchased last week on the booming Broadway corridor across from the Pearl.
The locally-based bank does not yet have specific plans for the site, at the northeast corner of Broadway and East Grayson Street, but McSween said it hopes to build something within the next five years. The building will likely have between 190,000 and 200,000 square feet of office space, with retail on the ground floor, he said.
Like many companies, Jefferson Bank wants to locate its headquarters in an urban area that is more attractive to talented young workers, McSween said. Its offices are currently on Loop 410 on the Northeast Side.
The company, which was founded in 1946 in San Antonio's Jefferson neighborhood, has just under 400 employees, McSween said. Its total assets have increased 178 percent over the last 10 years to nearly $1.9 billion. A company forecast has determined that it will likely grow by between 150 and 200 employees over the next decade.
The new headquarters would be large enough to fulfill Jefferson Bank's growth needs for the next 30 to 50 years, McSween said.
The Broadway property is kitty-corner from where local credit union Credit Human is building a 10-story headquarters with the help of $5.8 million in tax abatements and rebates from the city and $3 million in property tax abatements from the county.
Jefferson Bank will not apply for tax credits from the city for the project, McSween said.
McSween and three other Jefferson Bank executives purchased seven properties totaling nearly 1.7 acres last week comprising the entire block northeast of Broadway and East Grayson except for the building that houses the Still Golden Social House bar.
City Council voted in April to rezone the property from industrial to infill development allowing for commercial and high-rise office development, city records show. Local real estate firm Milam Real Estate Capital will partner with 1990 Broadway to develop the property, its managing director Plack Carr said on Thursday.
The lower Broadway corridor is booming. Along with Credit Human's new headquarters, another mixed-use tower is planned two blocks north of where the Jefferson Bank executives bought their land. Developer GrayStreet Partner plans to build a 20-story hotel and office tower at the crossing of Broadway and Newell Avenue.
Alamo Colleges is building a new headquarters one block east of Broadway, at the northeast corner of Alamo and Josephine streets, and GrayStreet plans to redevelop 23 acres on the east side of the thoroughfare into a giant mixed-use community with hundreds of thousands of square feet of office space and retail.
Meanwhile, the city is using $42 million from the most recent bond package to transform Broadway into a landscaped boulevard that is more friendly to cyclists and pedestrians, with fewer lanes for cars.


As part of the RVC's goal to be a leading innovator in the delivery of high quality programmes in veterinary education and associated subjects, the College will continue to expand and consolidate its portfolio of programmes targeted at those involved in the delivery of veterinary science and services.

Blaise is a small area near Henbury, Hallen and Coombe Dingle. If you look it up, the first thing you're likely to come across is an eighteenth century castle. It also has a Grade II listed mansion house, which is now a museum with beautiful grounds (650 acres), overlooking a gorge. It's open to the public and is a popular walking site for all the family, as well as lots of dogs.
There are, however, some slightly more modest homes in the area surrounding the estate, which constitutes the area called Blaise. There's a mix of substantial detached property, all individual. There are also some small developments of modern homes and a few low level, purpose-built apartment blocks.
Local amenities are available at Westbury-on-Trym and Shirehampton. Blaise has good access to the city centre via public transport – Falcondale Road (A4018) is the primary route. You can also travel out to the M5 this way, passing the nearby Mall at Cribbs Causeway.

Correction: Sports Matter story
NEW YORK (AP) — In some versions of a July 19 story about the Sports Matter initiative, The Associated Press erroneously identified the RAND Corp. as the RAND Institute.
A corrected version of the story is below:
NFL 2019: Camps set to open in sweltering conditions
As teams settle in at sweltering training camps this week, playbooks are distributed (digitally, of course), rookies and other youngsters try to catch the eye of decision makers, and fans wonder what their teams will look like in early September. And beyond. Except, perhaps, in New England.
By BARRY WILNER
AP Football Writer
Jon Gruden, Larry Fitzgerald and Alex Morgan have reached the summit of their professions. They all recognize the need for strong grass-roots sports programs, and they are doing something about it.
Working with DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation, the three have pledged to provide access to sports for 1 million youngsters over the next five years. DICK'S will match up to $1 million in donations made by customers its foundation.
"It's a story we all know too well," says Gruden, the Oakland Raiders coach. "Kids can't afford to play and coaches can't afford to coach. It's a horrible and devastating problem. DICK'S is working to change that for a million kids and I love being a part of it."
Gruden cites several statistics from two studies, one by the RAND Corp. and another by the Women's Sports Foundation:
—63% of school sports budgets stagnant or decreasing;
—24% of high schools not offering sports;
—schools in poverty areas offering one-third fewer sports and teams than in low-poverty schools;
—42% of families of middle school and high school students do not participate in sports but have interest if costs were less;
—56% of teenage girls do not participate in sports.
That last number strikes Morgan, a star of the two-time Women's World Cup champion U.S. team.
"Kids learn so much on and off the field from playing soccer, and making it more accessible through programs like Sports Matter will only help grow the game," says Morgan, speaking with Gruden and Fitzgerald in midtown Manhattan. "Pay for play in soccer has become a big issue, but once the opportunity to play is there, we need to ensure coaches and programs make having fun a priority so kids continue to enjoy the game and don't burn out.
"When you see an investment in women's sports, you see the return that comes with it all the way down to the youth level. Soccer is a great game that has so much potential to lead the way to inspire more young girls to play and benefit from all that sports has to offer."
This year, DICK'S and its Foundation have provided more than $20 million in grants and sponsorships to support deserving schools and organizations, including $1 million to help build a gym for students at LeBron James' I PROMISE School in Akron, Ohio; $265,000 to the Beyond Sports Foundation for its Sport for Reduced Inequalities Collective Impact Award; and more than $780,000 to Girls on the Run to expand their mission to inspire young girls.
The foundation has created an advisory board. Among its aims is to focus on the challenges facing youth sports. In addition to Gruden and Fitzgerald, members are former NBA player Jalen Rose, beach volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, LPGA champion Annika Sorenstam and skiing gold medalist Lindsey Vonn.
"Sports are one of those arenas where the color of your skin doesn't matter, where the god you worship doesn't matter, your sexual orientation doesn't matter, it's just about the game and being better," says Fitzgerald, a star receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. "I just want to be able to bring more kids to it and give them more opportunities to play."

On-sky verification of Fast and Furious focal-plane wavefront sensing: Moving forward toward controlling the island effect at Subaru/SCExAO.
BOS S.P., VIEVARD S., WILBY M.J., SNIK F., LOZI J., GUYON O., NORRIS B.R.M., JOVANOVIC N., MARTINACHE F., SAUVAGE J.-F. and KELLER C.U.
Context. High-contrast imaging (HCI) observations of exoplanets can be limited by the island effect (IE). The IE occurs when the main wavefront sensor (WFS) cannot measure sharp phase discontinuities across the telescope's secondary mirror support structures (also known as spiders). On the current generation of telescopes, the IE becomes a severe problem when the ground wind speed is below a few meters per second. During these conditions, the air that is in close contact with the spiders cools down and is not blown away. This can create a sharp optical path length difference between light passing on opposite sides of the spiders. Such an IE aberration is not measured by the WFS and is therefore left uncorrected. This is referred to as the low-wind effect (LWE). The LWE severely distorts the point spread function (PSF), significantly lowering the Strehl ratio and degrading the contrast.
Aims. In this article, we aim to show that the focal-plane wavefront sensing (FPWFS) algorithm, Fast and Furious (F&F), can be used to measure and correct the IE/LWE. The F&F algorithm is a sequential phase diversity algorithm and a software-only solution to FPWFS that only requires access to images of non-coronagraphic PSFs and control of the deformable mirror.
Methods. We deployed the algorithm on the SCExAO HCI instrument at the Subaru Telescope using the internal near-infrared camera in H-band. We tested with the internal source to verify that F&F can correct a wide variety of LWE phase screens. Subsequently, F&F was deployed on-sky to test its performance with the full end-to-end system and atmospheric turbulence. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by two metrics based on the PSF quality: (1) the Strehl ratio approximation (SRA), and (2) variance of the normalized first Airy ring (VAR). The VAR measures the distortion of the first Airy ring, and is used to quantify PSF improvements that do not or barely affect the PSF core (e.g., during challenging atmospheric conditions).
Results. The internal source results show that F&F can correct a wide range of LWE phase screens. Random LWE phase screens with a peak-to-valley wavefront error between 0.4µm and 2µm were all corrected to a SRA>90% and an VAR≤0.05. Furthermore, the on-sky results show that F&F is able to improve the PSF quality during very challenging atmospheric conditions (1.3-1.4''seeing at 500 nm). Closed-loop tests show that F&F is able to improve the VAR from 0.27-0.03 and therefore significantly improve the symmetry of the PSF. Simultaneous observations of the PSF in the optical (λ=750nm, Δλ=50 nm) show that during these tests we were correcting aberrations common to the optical and NIR paths within SCExAO. We could not conclusively determine if we were correcting the LWE and/or (quasi-)static aberrations upstream of SCExAO.
Conclusions. The F&F algorithm is a promising focal-plane wavefront sensing technique that has now been successfully tested on-sky. Going forward, the algorithm is suitable for incorporation into observing modes, which will enable PSFs of higher quality and stability during science observations.

Since their emergence in 2009, Rival Sons have quietly reignited and recharged rock 'n' roll with towering vocals, uncompromising riffs, and thunderous grooves. Following the independent release of their full-length debut Before The Fire, they were handpicked to perform alongside everyone from AC/DC to Black Sabbath. Working with longtime producer Dave Cobb, the band delivered a series of critically acclaimed albums—Pressure & Time [2011], Head Down[2012], Great Western Valkyrie [2014], and Hollow Bones [2016]—as they headlined sold out shows on multiple continents. 2019's FERAL ROOTS broke new ground for the band. "Do Your Worst" shot to #1 on Rock Radio as their first chart-topper at the format. It also scored 40 million-plus streams and counting. They delivered an electrifying performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden and earned acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and many more. FERAL ROOTS also gathered a 2020 GRAMMY Award nomination for "Best Rock Album," while the single "Too Bad" notched a nomination for "Best Rock Performance." 2021 saw Rival Sons present their own label Sacred Tongue Recordings distributed by Thirty Tigers. This March, Rival Sons will kick off a U.S. tour alongside Greta Van Fleet which is set to continue through early April. Through and through, they embody everything a modern rock band should be and so much more.

Pop Quiz! Think back to your high school U.S. Government course or Poli-Sci 101 in college. Where did all the great ideas in the U.S. Constitution come from? Where did the Founding Fathers get all those great ideas?
The Enlightenment, right? John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Social Contract. Baron de Montesquieu and The Spirit of the Laws. All the great minds. Right?
Separation of Powers and the three branches of government? Sure, that can be traced to the Baron de Montesquieu.
The Freedom of Religion, however, is far more ancient.
This is the premise of a new book by Robert Louis Wilken, Liberty in the Things of God: The Christian Origins of Religious Freedom (see links below).
Robert Louis Wilken's Liberty in the Things of God
Wilken is a the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of the History of Christianity emeritus at the University of Virginia. Wilken's The Spirit of Early Christian Thought: Seeking the Face of God is required reading in many schools of Theology, including the one I attended.
I highly recommend all of Wilken's books, but it is Wilken's most recent book Liberty in the Things of God that will be the subject of this article. In it, Wilken makes a startling discovery.
Christian Origins of Freedom of Religion
What ancient communities do you think might have something to say about freedom of religion? Those communities which faced terrible religious persecution.
Crucifixion after crucifixion, the Christian community suffered religious persecution at the hands of the Romans. The Christians nonetheless endured and prospered.
Nearly all of Jesus' Apostles were martyred. St. Peter was crucified upside-down in Rome. St. Paul was eventually beheaded after a period of imprisonment in Rome.
There were also the virgin martyrs of Rome, including Saints Agnes, Agatha, and Lucy, who died in the persecutions led by Emperors Decius and Diocletian.
Saints Felicity and Perpetua, both mothers, were also martyred by the Roman Empire. They were not Italians, though. Felicity and Perpetua were from North Africa, specifically Carthage.
Tertullian and "Freedom of Religion"
Along with Saints Felicity and Perpetua, there was also a Church Father from Carthage. Tertullian.[1] Some scholars actually credit the writing or editing of the Passion of Saints Felicity and Perpetua to Tertullian. Tertullian is one of the primary reasons we even remember Saints Felicity and Perpetua into modern times.
Tertullian coined a few very important words and phrases. For starters, Tertullian first coined the phrase "Old and New Testaments". Tertullian also first gave us the word "Trinity" (Latin trinitas) to describe the three Divine Persons. Read more about that here.
Put another way, the perfect self-governing community of Persons - the Holy Trinity - Tertullian named that!
But What Does Tertullian have to do with "Freedom of Religion"?
Here's another incredible connection. In addition to "Old and New Testaments" and "Trinity", Tertullian also was the first to coin the phrase "Freedom of Religion."
Wow. Wouldn't it be incredible if somehow Tertullian's writings inspired the Founding Fathers?
Because that's exactly what happened.
Wilken's Discovery: The Connection between Thomas Jefferson and Tertullian
Anti-Catholic sentiment was very strong among many of the Founding Fathers. Many of our Founding Fathers were Deists, who basically believed in a "Watchmaker" God that never intervened in human history. How could Jesus' Incarnation into human history possibly fit into this worldview? Moreover, how could the Catholic Church, the institution which perpetuates Jesus' intervention into human history?
This is one of Thomas Jefferson's more well-known quotes on religion:
Honest religion neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg.
This is taken from a longer passage in Jefferson's work, Notes on the State of Virginia:
The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subjects to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Wilken noticed that this quote as well as the context it fit into resembled the following quote from Tertullian.
You can see that the line in bold - "neither harms nor helps" - matches AT LEAST IN STRUCTURE the line, "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg":
It is only just and a privilege inherent in human nature that every person should be able to worship according to his own convictions. The religious practice of one person neither harms nor helps another. It is not part of religion to coerce religious practice. For it is by choice, not coercion, that we should be led to religion.
But how could Wilken prove this connection? It is not a direct quote, though there is a match in meaning and neither/nor structure.
What did Thomas Jefferson write in the Margins of His Personal Copy of Notes on the State of Virginia?
How could Wilken possibly prove this connection? Remember, I said Wilken is a professor emeritus at the University of Virginia (UVA).
Guess who just happens to have Thomas Jefferson's personal copy of Notes on the State of Virginia? You guessed it. The UVA Rare Book Library.
Wilken turned to the page in Jefferson's personal copy on which the above quote - honest religion "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg" - is found.
Guess what Wilken found scribbled in the margins? Tertullian's quote!
Thomas Jefferson had scribbled Tertullian's quote in the margins in the original Latin.
But there's still more ...
Thomas Jefferson's Personal Copy of Tertullian
Wilken knew that Thomas Jefferson had written a bookseller in Richmond for some copies of Latin manuscripts. Wilken wondered if perhaps there might be a Tertullian manuscript among the collection of books that Jefferson had purchased from Richmond.
While finishing his own book, Liberty in the Things of God, Wilken was researching in the Library of Congress. Guess which library contains most of Thomas Jefferson's personal library? The Library of Congress. Still curious about the Tertullian connection, Wilken decided to see if Jefferson's personal library contained a collection of Tertullian's writings.
It did. The Library of Congress allowed Wilken to look through Thomas Jefferson's personal copy of a 17th century Latin edition of Tertullian's writings.
Wilken turned to the page from which Thomas Jefferson had transcribed the above quote from Tertullian - the one which begins, "It is only just and a privilege inherent in human nature ..."
Jefferson had underlined the quote and put a big "X" in the margin beside it.
Isn't that amazing. Wilken was able to find a direct connection between Tertullian and Thomas Jefferson.
But there's still more!
Compare Tertullian's quote to the First Amendment
Here's my addition to all this. This might be something I notice being a lawyer.
The connection from Tertullian to Thomas Jefferson does not end at Notes on the State of Virginia. Look at the First Amendment, itself! Look at the Freedom of Religion clauses of the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...
Look at the either/or structure and content of the Freedom of Religion section of the First Amendment:
First there is the Free Exercise Clause: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
Next there is the Establishment Clause: "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Now, look again at Tertullian's quote. Not the middle part about religion "neither harming nor helping". I have omitted that below. Look at the sentences which come before and after that:
It is only just and a privilege inherent in human nature that (1) every person should be able to worship according to his own convictions ... It is (2) not part of religion to coerce religious practice. For it is by choice, not coercion, that we should be led to religion.
Do you see it?
Part One is about Free Exercise of religion, including worship and conscience protections.
Part Two is about the coercive power of an Established Church.
Do you know what this means? Tertullian wrote the first draft of the First Amendment and Thomas Jefferson knew it. Tertullian's quote contains the archae-Free Exercise Clause and the archae-Establishment Clause.
Isn't that incredible?
There's still more!
This means that the Freedom of Religion, from Roman times to the writing of the U.S. Constitution, included conscience protections, not merely a freedom to worship.
Please share this incredible discovery with your friends and family. Feel "FREE" to comment below, as well, with any questions you might have.
Footnotes on Tertullian:
[1] In case you are wondering, that's not a typo. Tertullian is not Saint Tertullian because he fell into a couple heresies along the way, including Montanism. Tertullian is one of only Church Fathers not to be considered a saint. Describing Tertullian as a "Church Father" is also the minority position. For more on that, check out this video from Jimmy Akin and Catholic Answers.
Appendix: St. John Paul II on Constitutional Rights, especially Right to Life
Excerpt from Homily given by St. John Paul II at the 8th World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, on Solemnity of the Assumption, Sunday, August 15, 1993:
Dear Friends, this gathering in Denver on the theme of Life should lead us to a deeper awareness of the internal con-tradiction present in a part of the culture of the modern "me-tropolis".
When the Founding Fathers of this great nation enshrined certain inalienable rights in the Constitution – and something similar exists in many countries and in many International Declarations – they did so because they recognized the existence of a "law" – a series of rights and duties – engraved by the Creator on each person's heart and conscience.
In much of contemporary thinking, any reference to a "law" guaranteed by the Creator is absent. There remains only each individual's choice of this or that objective as convenient or useful in a given set of circumstances. No longer is anything considered intrinsically "good" and "universally binding". Rights are affirmed but, because they are without any reference to an objective truth, they are deprived of any solid basis. Vast sectors of society are confused about what is right and what is wrong, and are at the mercy of those with the power to "create" opinion and impose it on others.
The family especially is under attack. And the sacred character of human life denied. Naturally, the weakest members of society are the most at risk: the unborn, children, the sick, the handicapped, the old, the poor and unemployed, the immigrant and refugee, the South of the world!
Young pilgrims, Christ needs you to enlighten the world and to show it the "path to life" (Ps 16,11). The challenge is to make the Church's "yes" to Life concrete and effective. The struggle will be long, and it needs each one of you. Place your intelligence, your talents, your enthusiasm, your compassion and your fortitude at the service of life!
Have no fear. The outcome of the battle for Life is already decided, even though the struggle goes on against great odds and with much suffering. This certainty is what the Second Reading declares: " Christ is now raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. ...so in Christ all will come to life again" ( 1Cor 15,20-22). The paradox of the Christian message is this: Christ – the Head – has already conquered sin and death. Christ in his Body – the pilgrim People of God – continually suffers the onslaught of the Evil One and all the evil which sinful humanity is capable of.
6. At this stage of history, the liberating message of the Gospel of Life has been put into your hands. And the mission of proclaiming it to the ends of the earth is now passing to your generation. Like the great Apostle Paul, you too must feel the full urgency of the task: "Woe to me if I do not evangelize" (1Cor 9,16). Woe to you if you do not succeed in defending life. The Church needs your energies, your enthusiasm, your youthful ideals, in order to make the Gospel of Life penetrate the fabric of society, transforming people's hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love. Now more than ever, in a world that is often without light and without the courage of noble ideals, people need the fresh, vital spirituality of the Gospel.
Do not be afraid to go out on the streets and into public places, like the first Apostles who preached Christ and the Good News of salvation in the squares of cities, towns and villages. This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel (Cfr. Rom 1,16). It is the time to preach it from the rooftops (Cfr. Matth 10,27). Do not be afraid to break out of comfortable and routine modes of living, in order to take up the challenge of making Christ known in the modern "metropolis". It is you who must "go out into the byroads" ( Matth 22,9) and invite everyone you meet to the banquet which God has prepared for his people. The Gospel must not be kept hidden because of fear or indifference. It was never meant to be hidden away in private. It has to be put on a stand so that people may see its light and give praise to our heavenly Father.
Jesus went in search of the men and women of his time. He engaged them in an open and truthful dialogue, whatever their condition. As the Good Samaritan of the human family, he came close to people to heal them of their sins and of the wounds which life inflicts, and to bring them back to the Fa-ther's house. Young people of "World Youth Day", the Church asks you to go, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to those who are near and those who are far away. Share with them the freedom you have found in Christ. People thirst for genuine inner freedom. They yearn for the Life which Christ came to give in abundance. The world at the approach of a new millennium, for which the whole Church is preparing, is like a field ready for the harvest. Christ needs laborers ready to work in his vineyard. May you, the Catholic young people of the world, not fail him. In your hands, carry the Cross of Christ. On your lips, the words of Life. In your hearts, the saving grace of the Lord.

Tertullian (note: NOT St. Tertullian) is not a Church Father. He is an important writer from the Patristic Age, yes, but not a Church Father.

Right, that's why I addressed all that in footnote #1.
