Are you ready for Super Sunday 2023?
Kevin Faulk
The epitome of an all-purpose player, Kevin Faulk remains the SEC's leader in career all-purpose yards and LSU's all-time leading rusher. He starred in the backfield for the Tigers from 1995-98, helping LSU to three bowl appearances over that span. Faulk earned All-America honors from The Associated Press in 1996 as well as being a three-time All-SEC selection.
Selected in the second round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, Faulk spent his entire 13-year NFL career with that franchise. Faulk appeared in five Super Bowls, winning the title three times, while playing in the same backfield as Tom Brady.
Faulk was elected to the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2016. He is a member of the Patriots All-Decade Team for the 2000s and was named to the franchise's 50th Anniversary Team as a return specialist.
Faulk is also a member of the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the national College Football Hall of Fame.
Before joining LSU, Faulk was one of the nation's most sought-after recruits. He was twice named Louisiana's Most Valuable Player for 5A (highest classification) and led Carencro High School to the 5A state title as a sophomore in 1992.
Following his pro career, Faulk served as an assistant football coach from 2013-17 at Carencro High. He then served on the coaching staff at LSU from 2018-21. He annually hosts a free youth football camp in Louisiana, and he founded the Kevin Faulk Foundation to support youth.

Q: Heroku thinks app is in same folder I referenced this awesome thread from the following to fork my Heroku app and clone the github repo to have two seperate github repo's and Heroku app's for production and development.
Trying to heroku git:clone after heroku fork yields an empty repository
$ git clone git@heroku.com:oldapp.git -o old newclonedapp
$ cd newclonedapp
$ heroku git:remote -a newclonedapp
$ git push heroku master

I then manually moved my folder newcloneapp into its own directory. Regardless, I still get the following errors:
 !    Multiple apps in folder and no app specified.
 !    Specify app with --app APP.

How can I fix this ?

A: As the error message says, include --app newcloneapp in the command you are running to ensure it works with the right heroku application.
By copying the newcloneapp folder into its own directory, you are still retaining the git config for the application; hence the multiple heroku apps in this folder.
You can remove one of the applications by editing the .git/config file and removing one section with the url = git@heroku.com:your-app-name.git line.
In one of my heroku apps, I have the following config in the .git/config file:
[remote "staging"]
  url = git@heroku.com:my-app-name.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/staging/*
[remote "production"]
  url = git@heroku.com:my-app-name.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/staging/*

With this in place, I can push to both staging and production from the same repo. Looks like you need only one app in the folder; so you should have only one of the above sections.

Best thing Cruz can do for himself and our nation is to give his delegates to Trump in exchange for VP nom and recover his outsider mantle.

Tyrconnell in reply to VotingFemale. | April 5, 2016 at 9:30 pm
Give up his delegates to some one who shows disdain for the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments?
Olinser in reply to VotingFemale. | April 5, 2016 at 10:01 pm
Trump wouldn't offer it, and Cruz wouldn't accept it, so that's a dumb idea.
At this stage Cruz is literally the only one besides Trump that the RNC can realistically nominate at a contested convention without a massive backlash.
Kasich is nothing but a pipe dream, he doesn't have the support and the RNC will have to change their rules to even nominate him (or anybody else not named Cruz or Trump).
If they nominate Kasich, Rubio, Ryan, or god forbid Jeb!, there will be a complete revolt in the party and whoever the Democrat nominee is will be guaranteed a win. Trump would be completely justified in saying that the RNC had not treated the candidates fairly and would probably run independent (and I wouldn't blame him). Thus guaranteeing the nomination to the Democrat.
Unless of course Sanders decided he wasn't treated fairly either and HE ran as an independent too. In which case who the hell knows who would come out on top.
Wisewerds in reply to Olinser. | April 5, 2016 at 10:31 pm
Exactly right.
I think if either one has a significant lead in delegates, nominating any one other than that leader will cause a significant backlash. But if Trump and Cruz are within, say, 200 delegates of one another, then either could be nominated. And because Cruz has been doing the legwork to prepare for that scenario, that is how Ted Cruz becomes the nominee, IMHO.
Mark in reply to Olinser. | April 6, 2016 at 3:43 pm
I am always vexed over the needlessly stereotyped myths of "the establishment" and the RNC. If it goes past the first ballot "they" don't have a say, other than in those delegates already appointed-elected by the individual state GOPs.
Those approx 2400 delegates will nominate who they please – and most likely it will take several ballots to settle on someone they feel can win the election. Most likely Cruz, but it could also be Nikki Haley or many others.
Paul Ryan would have been a perfect choice, until he earned so much antipathy in his short tenure as House leader. So it will most likely be Trump or Cruz, depending on the first ballot results.

From the plethora of your comments, one would think that Trump had won. Did you notice what a class act Trump was in losing? Yeah, that's right. He attacked everyone and said that the RNC and the nasty TV and radio people are out to get him! Do you suppose somewhere in his hairy head there might be one small section devoted to civility? The say that a sign of a true winner is how he loses. Trump ain't no winner!

CloseTheFed in reply to inspectorudy. | April 6, 2016 at 8:16 am
Dear InspectorRudy:
The figures on ad buys were Ted Cruz PACs spent about $2 million or $2.5 million, that Cruz's campaign spent about $1.0 to $1.5 million, and Trump spent $500k.
Trump is right to note the onslaught. It also means, he really isn't willing to spend enough of his own money to win. I wish he would start using donations. I mean, I'm discounting his $500k, and God knows, what he's spent everywhere else, it is literally a fortune, but he's doing this on the cheap, and that time is over.
Anyone under this onslaught would have struggled. If the numbers were reversed, the numbers may have switched. Also, Trump had a bad week. Bad coincidence.
gmac124 in reply to inspectorudy. | April 6, 2016 at 9:32 am
It's not about the ad money. Trump plans on all of the free air time that he gets being greater than ads others can buy. He is correct in that regard. The reason Trump lost is the same reason he lost Iowa. Cruz has a solid professional ground game that is helping him get over the top. Trump planned on winning quickly with his over the top rhetoric and reality star name recognition. Now that the primary fight has started to drag out his flaws and lack of planning are becoming evident. I love it myself because my primary vote might actually mean something this year. Normally our May primary is choosing our state reps because the national choice was made long before we had a chance to vote.

Olinser in reply to Ragspierre. | April 5, 2016 at 10:04 pm
At this stage it is almost guaranteed to go to convention (Cruz can only get the delegates by a massive landslide, and Trump is looking like he can't close the deal either).
At that point the only question left is, "How stupid is the RNC?"
They could get away with picking either Cruz or Trump. Anybody else and there is going to be a massive backlash and total revolt in the party.
inspectorudy in reply to Olinser. | April 6, 2016 at 12:25 am
The weasel Preibus has said that there will be no outsiders picked at the convention. If that is true then Cruz will probably win on the second ballot.

Henry Hawkins in reply to DaMav. | April 6, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Winning home states or districts is the expected norm, and only losing them held significant.
As for leap-frogging both Trump and Cruz, if it goes to open convention, I'm sure the GOP has zero problem dropping Trump – it's been their plan since, oh, about June 16, 2015. They'd hoped someone would beat him flat out, hasn't happened yet, or that Trump would self-destruct, a possibility that seems to grow if Trump's past several weeks are considered.
Leap-frogging over Trump loses one-third of registered Republicans, a price they'd gladly pay. Leap-frogging over both top vote-getters, Trump and Cruz, is a whole nuther ball game. That's 80% of the votes cast in the primaries. The GOP may very well decide that their November chances are better with Cruz and his powerful campaign organization, than going with some new face who has no ground game, no base of supporters, etc. It wouldn't mean they love Cruz by any means – they decidedly do not – but they also didn't want Reagan, froze him out in 1976, and tried again in 1980, but he got the necessary delegates before the 1980 GOP convention. Reagan turned out pretty good for the GOP, a two-termer whose VP won as well.
Zachary | April 5, 2016 at 10:31 pm
Winning by 20% is totally unfair. But also awesome. Congrats to Cruz team for running such a great campaign. Hope this is a turn in momentum.
Merlin | April 5, 2016 at 10:47 pm
Wisconsin's Republicans go harder right while the Democrats just go batshit crazy. For better or worse there's no such thing as middle ground around here anymore. Can't wait to see the turnout breakdowns.
Gary Britt | April 6, 2016 at 1:15 am
An ok win tonight for the Scott Walker GOP establishment machine.
Interesting to note that even the Scott Walker establisnment machine could not beat the #NeverCruz factions tonight. Tonight a majority of Wisconsin republicans voted against Ted Cruz. And if Kasich weren't in the race Trump would have won beating tge Walker machine.
I liked Trump's statement. I hope it means his attempts at making nice with the GOPe are over and he goes back to attacking the GOPe republicans in Congress and party leadership along with his other campaign strategies and positions.

You may be the only person who wold combine the Trump and Kasich votes. Even if it is true that they are both rejections of Cruz (and trump voters may not all or mostly reject Cruz) they're not united on any other point.
The Kasich voters are most definitely anti-Trump. Or what else are they?

tyates | April 6, 2016 at 2:40 am
Not to take anything away from Cruz, but if the Trump juggernaut continues to slow, The Donald really only has himself to blame. Trump dug himself into a hole by predicting a big win in Wisconsin and contradicting virtually every poll / forecast, and now he's continuing to dig deeper by accusing Cruz of illegal campaigning.
Most candidates usually have a sense of when they're not going to win and try to downplay / minimize the loss ahead of time and focus on what's next, which for him is two big opportunities – Pennsylvania and Florida. Trump's biggest asset is perceived strength and toughness and if he loses it, the voters in those states aren't going be kind.
CloseTheFed in reply to tyates. | April 6, 2016 at 8:24 am
You mean New York. Trump already beat Rubio in Florida, and thus Rubio is out.
But you're right, Trump has only himself to blame for any momentum change.
tyates in reply to CloseTheFed. | April 6, 2016 at 9:06 am
Yes New York of course – thanks for the correction.
Estragon | April 6, 2016 at 6:05 am
This makes it much easier to block Trump. For Cruz, though, he has a narrow window to the nomination. First stop Trump on the first ballot, then get to 1237 on the 2nd or 3rd. 4th is possible, but only if he gets very close on the 3rd.
After 3-4 ballots, delegates will begin to seek a compromise candidate, most likely someone who was never a candidate this cycle. But the campaigns thus far have been burning, not building bridges, and it seems a long shot any current cycle candidate could mount a late surge.
Trump, of course, is melting down, as his classless statement and refusal to appear last night demonstrate. Good.
Henry Hawkins | April 6, 2016 at 8:05 am
Wow. Trump's post statement was even uglier than I'd expected. Classless and juvenile.
Is it just me or does Trump's face always look like he slept all night with his face in a bowl of Cheetos?

Sammy Finkelman in reply to Murphy. | April 6, 2016 at 10:34 am
Trump probably didn't, but was unreachable by his campaign spokeswoman, Hope Hicks. She initially e-mailed it only to the Washington Post.
That statement was almost certainly written before the results came in, when Donald Trump (unrealistically) thought he would win.
My favorite post primary Trump supporter comment, read over at Hot Air – Cruz only won because Wisconsin is a Canadian border state*.
*(FYI for Trump supporters – Wisconsin does not share a border with Canada).

"Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again. Lyin' Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him. Not only was he propelled by the anti-Trump Super PAC's spending countless millions of dollars on false advertising against Mr. Trump, but he was coordinating `with his own Super PAC's (which is illegal) who totally control him. Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet— he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump."

Donald Trump statement:
Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet— he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.
That means that Trump is saying Ted Cruz is being used to give the nomination to some third person, i.e. a vote for Ted Cruz is a vote for somebody who is not Trump and not Cruz.
That's probably exactly what about half the voters for Ted Cruz in Wisconsin intended.

Interesting. The R's still don't have a candidate who can break the 50% barrier. Trump's beaten 49%, and that back when there were far more candidates, but of course anything less than 50% means most voters wanted someone else … as has been repeatedly mentioned when Trump was the one who fell short.

Henry Hawkins | April 6, 2016 at 11:53 am
It's been noted that Trump refused to go on-air with a standard concession speech after last night's landslide defeat in a state he'd bragged he'd win. This may be an errant assumption, that Trump wouldn't go on-air. Perhaps he *couldn't* go on-air, due to some sort of rage and anger breakdown, too out of it to be allowed by handlers to go in front of the cameras.
Mark | April 6, 2016 at 4:30 pm
I think someone prevailed on Trump (perhaps his daughter which has a svengali like influence) to stay away from twitter and cameras so as to cease the pratfalls.
If you can't act Presidential, and you can't control yourself, isolate.
Hopefully Trump will start tweeting again. Cruz needs Trump to be Trump.

Which would also suggest that Trump's hot air rhetoric is not an act to appeal to voter anger, but the real Trump – not in control.
From the mouth of babes. My 21 yr old daughter just suggested to me that maybe Trump is freaking out because as a billionaire businessman, he simply never has the experience of being told 'no' or of ever having what he says contested, in essence, he's a victim of his own self-made bubble. Now that he's losing contest after contest, he just can't handle it.
Ragspierre in reply to Henry Hawkins. | April 6, 2016 at 7:40 pm
Well, that holds some water, but it isn't broadly the case.
Remember, T-rump has proposed to build the tallest building in America (or the world…don't recall) in several cities in the U.S., and been turned away with a flea in his ear. The West Coast was particularly inhospitable to The Man From WrestleMania, as I recall.
However, there is a good chance that the man who literally washes in the adulation of big crowds of people and positive polling is experiencing a lurching crisis when faced with the fact that yuuuuuuuuge numbers of people vote AGAINST him. Cognitive…and very delicate ego…dissonance.

How 'Mexican Dynasties' Star Raquel Bessudo Coped After Her Son's Death
Apr. 4 2019, Updated 11:07 a.m. ET
Bravo's hottest new show Mexican Dynasties takes fans inside the lives of three very wealthy families.
One of our favorite members of the new reality series is matriarch Raquel Bessudo, who is known in Mexico as the "Grand Dame of Beauty." Fans were introduced to the TV host and her daughter Doris who is currently supporting her mother as she grieves the death of her husband, Leon Bessudo. Leon's father owned the extremely popular Mexican soda company Jarritos.
Aside from Doris, Raquel and Leon had three children together — a daughter Patricia and a son Isaac who tragically died in 1980.
So, what happened to Raquel's son Isaac?
During an August 2018 interview with Clase Magazine, the longtime host opened up about her son's tragic death at the age of 13. While playing soccer, her son received a kick to the face from a teammate. When he was taken to the hospital, his tests came back negative and he was released.
It was not until his sister Doris saw that he was falling asleep that she knew he needed medical attention. Isaac was rushed back to the hospital and Raquel was told her son would need intense therapy.
"I kissed him and he wouldn't react," she recalled, before adding how the accident had a devastating affect on her husband Leon.
"That moment for Leon was the end… That was his little boy. I saw him very sad, very distressed and I told him, 'We were five, now we are four. Get your act together because I will not take care of my daughters alone."
Sadly, Isaac succumbed to his injuries and died a week later at the hospital.
Doris also had a hard time dealing with her brothers death.
Raquel revealed to Clase that it was especially hard at the time to watch her son's friends come to give their condolences after his death.
While Raquel reveals she is not one to mourn openly in public — you will not catch her shedding any tears on-screen — her daughters were different.
According to Doris, who could not fight back the tears when speaking about the death of her brother, she remembers the incident as if it happened yesterday.
She too said that her father was never the same. "When my brother died, it was the first time I saw [my dad] that bad and he was never the same," she explained. "I dedicated myself to making him laugh so his life could return to normal. My mom was stronger."
She continued, "We all slept together in bed and during the night I would hear my dad cry like a puppy. I had never heard anything like it. I decided to block what happened to my brother to be strong, to take the family forward and even with my sister we have never talked about this to date."
What happened to Leon Bessudo?
As mentioned earlier, Leon passed away in 2018 at the age of 79 after a battle with Parkinson's disease and diabetes. Raquel and her late husband met in 1962 when the beauty maven was just 16 years old.
"From the first moment he monopolized me," Raquel said in an interview in 2016. "He did not let me dance with anyone anymore. I was shocked because he was and still is a gallant."
The couple married one year after meeting and were together for 58 years before his death.

Bradley chemistry/biochemistry professor Luke Haverhals was included in the Illinois Science & Technology Coalition (ISTC)'s fourth annual list of "Researchers to Know".
Formally announced on Aug. 3 through a release by ISTC which was later redistributed by Bradley's Office of Public Relations on Aug. 13, the coalition's list serves to honor innovative and influential research occurring on Illinois campuses, with this year's edition highlighting people from 10 higher-education institutions.
According to the ISTC release, criteria for selection included breakthrough research, development of new technologies, venture launches and pushes for social change.
"Each of the researchers chosen for the honor has demonstrated outstanding achievement in their research field," ISTC director Matthew Bragg said in the coalition's release.
Haverhals was named to the list for research done primarily in the fields of analytical and physical chemistry alongside material science. In an email interview, he detailed that the most rewarding aspects of research for him are learning never-before-discovered things and getting to be around and collaborate with intellectual people.
Haverhals stated that he was informed of ISTC's honor through Bradley's Turner Center for Entrepreneurship and the Mund-Lagowski Department, and was honored to receive the news.
"To me, it is a 'symptom' of being included and part of several great organizations – both Bradley University and Natural Fiber Welding," Haverhals said.
With him having an academic background in science, receiving a B.A. and Ph.D. in chemistry, Haverhals said that the field has been a lifelong interest of his that he was always curious about.
"I was fortunate to grow up on a small family farm in Iowa with parents who nurtured and encouraged a deep respect for and interest in the natural world," Haverhals said. "When I grew up, my parents gave me freedom to pursue my interests including the basic science and technologies of 'where things come from' and 'where things go to.' That spark of curiosity has carried my career to this point."
One important outlet of Haverhals' work is his role as the leader of a research group that covers a variety of jobs to innovate chemistry techniques, from applying laser-based instrumentation to collaborating with partner organizations in academia and the U.S. government. The group receives extensive funding, research opportunities and resources from other organizations including the U.S. Army Research Office and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, as well as Bradley University.
Haverhals also does notable work in Natural Fiber Welding (NFW), a Peoria-based company which he co-founded in 2015 that strives to offer an alternative to the unsustainable practices within the petroleum industry, using plants and natural fibers to make renewable, high-functioning goods that outperform synthetic goods containing plastics.
According to ISTC's official page regarding the list, NFW has raised over $20 million in funding and has received investments from brands, including Ralph Lauren.
Haverhals has ambitious plans for his future, primarily through the goals of NFW.
"[I want to] bring truly comprehensive sustainability and circularity to the materials and product world," Haverhals said. "[I want to] be a key contributor to enabling people everywhere to live better and with less conflict over finite fossil resources. A key way humanity will do this going forward is through what Natural Fiber Welding is scaling in Peoria and globally."

U.S soccer team leaves their hotel the morning after winning the World Cup, and talks about the need for equal pay.
Rough cut (no reporter narration)
The night after a party to remember, the World Cup winning U.S. soccer team left their team hotel on Monday morning (July 8) still in the mood for celebration - and talking the need for equal pay.
Megan Rapinoe, who scored a penalty in Sunday's 2-0 final win over The Netherlands, told reporters in Lyon, France the team had a 'good party' the night before and that they couldn't wait to touch down in New York to celebrate with fans at home.
Rapinoe has captured attention throughout the tournament for her onfield performances and her willingness to speak on contentious topics, mainly equal pay with the men's game and her comment that she would not attend the White House if the team won, which drew the ire of President Trump.
Rapinoe heard fans chanting 'equal pay' during the final and said she hoped women will receive payment on par with men for winning the World Cup in future.
She also said she wanted investment into the women's game to continue.

GET THE LATEST ROBINS NEWS STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX
Bristol City are set to appeal against the six-match ban handed to striker Famara Diedhiou for spitting at an opponent.
Diedhiou was involved in an incident during the 52nd minute of the Robins' game with Birmingham City in April.
The 25-year-old has denied that the spitting incident happened, but he was found guilty by the Football Association.
And boss Lee Johnson believes that he "swears on his kids life" that he didn't do anything as Bristol City defeated the Blues 3-1 at Ashton Gate in the Sky Bet Championship earlier this year.
Famara Diedhiou's Bristol City ban: Your questions answered
Famara Diedhiou of Bristol City is challenged by David Davis of Birmingham City
Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol, Johnson expressed his disappointment at the ban and confirmed the club would be appealing the ban.
"I'm very upset with that and I know Famara is unbelievably upset," said Johnson.
"We feel it is very unjust. There's no video footage at all of the incident that is conclusive. I back my player and I believe him.
"I'm very disappointed with the decision given the lack of evidence. We're definitely appealing."
Diedhiou was signed for a club record fee of £5.3 million last summer and went onto score 13 goals in 32 games during the 2017/2018 season.

Seven Wonders of a Once and Future World and Other Stories
Caroline M. Yoachim. Fairwood, $17.99 trade paper (298p) ISBN 978-1-933846-55-2
Yoachim's reputation as an exceptional flash fiction stylist is founded on her work for Daily Science Fiction. Compiled, some of these brief works initially read as slight. "Betty and the Squelchy Saurus"—recounting treaty politics with monsters under the bed—works well early on, its context already familiar. Full appreciation of the more science fictional worlds takes time, as Yoachim circles back in successive stories to add layers to major themes: interchangeable or malleable bodies ("Temporary Friends," "Stone Wall Truth," "Grass Girl"), displaced consciousness ("The Philosophy of Ships," "Do Not Count the Withered Ones," "Pieces of My Body"), time warps ("Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death," "Harmonies of Time" "Honeybee"). She's especially successful in skewing hackneyed horror tropes, such as a spore invasion launched by compassionate aliens in "Five Stages of Grief after the Alien Invasion." "Everyone's a Clown" showcases Yoachim's ability to layer multiple themes in a very short space, picking up on the childhood perceptions of "Betty and the Squelchy Saurus" and refocusing them through the lens of an adult horror chestnut. Her gift for reshaping and polishing dulled old gems makes Yoachim's collection truly noteworthy. (Aug.)

I've been reading romance novels since I was twelve years old or thereabouts. I've explored many different sub-genres. But I don't read them for the thrilling action scenes, the glimpses into past centuries, or the laughs or tears they inspire. I read them for the romance. I love "watching" couples find each other and fall in love. Sometimes it's a rocky road that makes one wonder how on earth the two will make it. And sometimes the path is easy even when all hell is breaking loose around them. When I was asked to name my top favorite book couples, I imagine I immediately acquired a deer-in-the-headlights expression of dismay. There are at least two thousand romance novels on my keeper shelves, all of which possess couples I love. I can't choose just five! I can't even choose the top five favorites in my own series. I love them all and wouldn't want to leave any out. But below are some favorite book couples who have lingered with me long after I finished reading the books.
Candi and Hero from Laurann Dohner's Numbers.
Ashlyn and Maddox from Gena Showalter's The Darkest Night.
Zsadist and Bella from JR Ward's Lover Awakened.
Reseph and Jillian from Larissa Ione's Rogue Rider.
Lachlain and Emmaline from Kresley Cole's A Hunger Like No Other.
Who are your top five favorite book couples?
I've been dying for a new Immortal Guardians book! So glad it's out!
Love this series and Stan and Susan are an awesome couple.
I love Zach and Lisette 🙂 and Hawke and Sienna from Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh.
Nice new book with a lovely couple (Stanislas and Susan are sweet and prefect for each other).

Saving Money on Online Purchases

The Best Tips, Tricks for Saving Money on Online Purchases
Shopping online has never been more convenient. It's fast, easy and frequently offers even better deals than what you might find in a brick and mortar store. Whether you're a digital shopping pro — or e-commerce averse — here's a guide to some of the best tips and tricks for saving money while shopping online.
Many e-commerce sites have initial discounts for signing up for their email newsletters—ranging from home stores like Crate & Barrel (15 percent off) to bigger department stores like Macy's (25 percent off).
A lot of these e-tailers will have pop-ups on their sites, prompting you to register for e-blasts for a one-time discount. But it also can pay to do an online search to track which sites offer these kinds of discounts. Signing up for various retailer's email blasts means you'll also be the first to know about sales and receive coupons directly via email.
Install Honey
You could search for different coupon codes every time you make a purchase online and try all the different options until one of them works, or you could install Honey, a browser extension that does the work for you.
Simply download Honey and click the icon at every online checkout (whether it's Target, H&M or another popular retailer). The app will automatically review all known coupon codes out there to identify the best price.
Look for Cash Back, Rewards Programs
Before buying anything online, check to see if the website has a rewards program that may allow for future discounts or free stuff. For example, Sephora's rewards program features free beauty products and gift cards, while DSW and Ulta Beauty each offers rewards programs that allow customers to redeem cash back.
There are also third-party cash back programs, like Ebates. By signing up with the service, you can get up to 40 percent cash back from over 2,500 retail partners.
Sign Up for Online Alerts
By signing up for online alerts on products you're interested in but not ready to purchase, you'll be the first to know when prices drop. It's as easy as using Google Alerts or specific sites such as Lyst (which mostly focuses on apparel, shoes and accessories) — doing so will mean you get price drop alerts on favorite items sent directly to your email.
Have something specific you want to buy? It's easy to compare prices and get the best deal online. Websites like ShopStyle and Lyst will help sort fashion items at a range of retailers, and it's easy to search by price.
You'll often see the same item for many different prices at different e-commerce websites. However, you can also use the Google Shopping feature to comparison shop for basically anything you want to purchase.
Use Gift Cards
Using a gift card can be a money-saving hack if done right. Raise is an online platform that sells gift cards for less than their value. Discounts can range up to 75 percent off the card's original value — so it's definitely worth checking out Raise before buying something online, if you're still not happy with the price.
Consider Resale Sites
One of the best things about shopping online is the easy access to resale sites that sell thousands of items. The RealReal is one of the most popular e-commerce sites for luxury fashion at bargain prices, but Poshmark and Depop — both apps for mobile phones — are also great options for buying used clothing, home items, furniture and books.

He was the project manager for Israel's first astronaut flight and has been managing Israel's satellite projects (such as Ofeq, Tecsar and more) for several years.
Moalem has now established his own company, Sky and Space Global, and he recently managed the launch of the company's first set of smallsats.
He has a B.Sc. in Physics and Computer Sciences (with honors) and an M.A. from the Diplomacy and National Security executive program (with honors). Currently, he is working on his PhD in national security and space programs. Meir has also received the Israel National Defence award in 2009.
Who are Sky and Space Global and what is your mission?
Sky and Space Global is a UK-based start-up, registered in the UK in November of 2015. It is the first company to use smallsats to build a proprietary communications network in the equatorial belt, which will deliver affordable communications services for businesses operating in this region, and for people living in emerging markets.
This technology will allow telecom operators, enterprises and communication service providers to deliver affordable connectivity services to remote locations that do not have access to reliable and affordable connectivity services. The company's ultimate mission is to provide affordable communications services to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
How many satellites have been launched?
On Friday, June 23, 2017, Sky and Space Global launched the firm's first three nano-satellites, the 3 Diamonds. This launch is part of the company's mission to launch a constellation of 200 nanosatellites by 2020, providing full coverage of the equatorial areas of Earth, including South America, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. These smallsats are controlled by a proprietary network management software platform that will enable the constellation to automatically manage, monitor, and control orbital maneuvering.
The 3 Diamonds have been going through rigorous In Orbit Testing (IOT) and, so far, have performed as expected, while also demonstrating a few first-time-ever: first time of demonstrating Inter Satellite Links by nanosatellites; first time of demonstrating orbit maintenance and relative distance control by use of differential drag and satellites maneuvers; and soon demonstrating the first time ever voice calls are supported via nanosatellites.
What sets Sky and Space Global apart from its competitors?
Sky and Space Global strongly believes that affordable connectivity is a basic human right in today's world and is committed to providing affordable access to essential voice and data services to remote locations in developing economies across the world.
Nano-satellites have thus far been used in the Earth observation (EO) domain as part of commercial business models, mostly controlled by smallsat operators. However, no company other than Sky and Space Global is working on utilizing the nanosatellite narrow-band connectivity in the mainstream communications domain, especially in the civilian sector. This is what makes Sky & Space Global unique.
Sky and Space Global is also building a proprietary network management software platform that will enable the satellite constellation to function autonomously, conducting both health management and essential transmission activities. This will remove the need for a widespread network of ground stations for round-the-clock telemetry and replace it with an interconnected capability covering all the nano-satellites in the constellation. The ability of this system to manage satellites autonomously makes the Sky & Space Global constellation truly unique in the industry.
Has Sky and Space Global entered into any partnerships?
Sky and Space Global has entered into a number of partnerships and commercial agreements to help realize its aim of providing affordable communications services to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
In May of 2017, SAS signed a Memorandum of Understand (MOU) with WeFarm Ltd., the world's largest knowledge and data network for small-scale farmers. The MOU was to explore the integration of the SAS nano-satellite communication platform into WeFarm's process of on-boarding users, who are small-scale farmers living in remote and isolated locations.
In March 2017, Globalsat Group and Space Global announced a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). Under the agreement, Globalsat Group will take part in early trials of the Sky and Space Global satellite system. The non-binding deal also involves working towards establishing a commercial agreement for providing services to end-users across Globalsat Groups' multi country footprint.
In February 2017, Sky and Space Global signed a Cooperation Agreement for Sharing Space Situational Awareness Services with the Department of Defence (DoD) of the United States of America. This marks the first contract of its kind for the company and the DoD and recognizes the mutual objectives of both parties to ensure safe and peaceful space flight operations.
Sky and Space Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SocialEco, a London based IT company that produces a $1 smartphone, also with the vision to bring affordable, universal connectivity. The MoU stipulates that SocialEco and Sky and Space Global will initially explore potential markets, products and commercial opportunities to bring together SocialEco's $1 smartphone and Sky and Space Global's network coverage.
Earlier this year Sky and Space Global entered into an agreement with the mobile messaging and payments app Beeptool Llc. Under the terms of the deal, BeepTool will collaborate with Sky and Space Global on a pilot program that will integrate the BeepTool app with the company's telecommunications software systems to provide affordable communication and payment services to certain regions in Africa.
What does the future hold for Sky and Space Global? Do you have any future plans or projects?
Sky and Space Global plans to deploy 200 smallsats by the close of this decade. By 2020, the company is planning to have a full equatorial constellation and provide 24/7 services of voice, data, instant messaging and M2M/IoT, enabling the firm to be positioned for scaling up the system, depending on the market opportunities.
The company believes that constellations of smallsats will soon be able to provide more and more space related services to every human being, and at affordable prices. By focusing on delivering satellite connectivity services, rather than on the satellites (although the company's satellite constellation will be upgraded constantly), Sky and Space Global will be able to maintain its position in the market and will keep providing competitive services and, more importantly, affordable connectivity to the people who needed the most.
What are the key market opportunities that your technology is addressing?
As this world is becoming increasingly interconnected, the demand for affordable connectivity is growing dramatically. This growth is partially driven by the increasing adoption of mobile technology in emerging markets and by the growing demand for data.
Despite the rapid adoption of communication technology across the world, there are still almost four billion people living without affordable mobile coverage in emerging markets. This creates a huge demand for connectivity services in remote locations.
The mobile market is a key player in enabling companies to reach new customers and offer new services and the mobile industry can also create a lot of new jobs in these markets. However, for the full potential of mobile communications to be realized, the citizens of these countries need cost-effective access to mobile networks, to affordable devices and data services.
Smallsats have the potential to provide affordable connectivity to anyone, anywhere, anytime in the world and offer a great alternative to traditional satellite communications, which are quite costly.
The ability to provide mobile coverage in remote locations is vital for building a healthy information infrastructure in developing countries where poor connectivity is a barrier to education, healthcare, business growth and economic prosperity.
This is why Sky & Space Global's mission is not only becoming a leader in building innovate satellite technology, but also as a company that helps to drive digital inclusion across the world. It's about providing affordable connectivity to everyone and creating more opportunities for people across the world.
What have been the major recent trends and challenges in your sector of the telecommunications market and how has your business adapted to these?
Currently, the telecoms and utility industries are under a lot of pressure to innovate with data and connectivity services, all the while cutting costs. In the telecoms space in particular, the consumer-driven data consumption, fueled by live video streaming and the rise of content-heavy VR/AR apps, has put unprecedented pressures on networks. This has created a greater need to expand capacity, while also reducing costs.
Simultaneously, developed markets are becoming increasingly saturated with communications service providers and offer limited opportunity for incremental growth. This is why many global telecoms companies are looking to expand into emerging markets. However, the lack of coverage in remote locations, combined with the lack of affordable connectivity solutions, is making this an extremely challenging process.
Sky and Space Global's unique technology and business model allow the company to build a low CAPEX space infrastructure, based on smallsats which are less expensive to produce and launch.
The company also has low operational costs as the nanosatellites will be managed by an autonomous network management software program. This allows Sky and Space Global to offer services of narrowband satellite communications at much more affordable prices than traditional satellite connectivity services. Therefore, the total capital and operational costs of Sky and Space Global is a fraction of the cost of competing services and is disrupting the market.

Ben Brady/INPHO Zebo celebrates his hat-trick try.
# zeebs
Johann van Graan: 'It is great to have that X-Factor in your team'
Munster coach praised Simon Zebo's contribution after the winger scored a hat-trick last night.
JOHANN VAN GRAAN described Simon Zebo as a 'special player' in the aftermath of the Ireland international's hat-trick against Edinburgh last night.
The winger, who was starved of possession for much of the game, converted the only chances that came his way, showing his poacher's instinct to time his runs perfectly and appear on the end of passes. The added benefit is the hat-trick helped Munster secure a bonus point, move up to third in the URC and stay on track for the long-term goal of having home advantage in the play-offs.
"He is a special player; he finishes the opportunities he gets," said van Graan of Zebo. "He just takes those chances that come his way. He finished really well tonight.
"That is why he is the X-Factor in your team because he is able to ensure the team gets the bonus point.
"It is great to have Zeebs come back into the team."
Ben Brady / INPHO Craig Casey congratulates Zebo on his try. Ben Brady / INPHO / INPHO
Injuries, Covid, a red card and a squad rotation policy early in the season explain why it has been a stop-start campaign for Zebo thus far. Last night, however, provided evidence of what can be achieved when he gets a consistent run of games.
Consistency is something van Graan is striving for across the board. They were poor last week in Glasgow but they produced some really good passages of play here. That said, they also drifted into sleep mode for chunks of the game even if one can argue that the 14-point margin at the end wasn't right.
"This was a really important game for us this week, the fact we were fifth and Edinburgh were fourth coming into the game meant we knew it was pretty important. The fact we won the game by five points to zero is very important to us and hopefully we can deliver in the coming games as well.
"In the last few years we have learned that if you want to get to the final you have to get a home semi -final so that is one of our big picture terms but the focus is very much week on week."
It has to be. With investment poured into Glasgow and Edinburgh in the close-season, this is a much better league this year compared to last. Ospreys, Cardiff, Benetton have also upped their game while the four South African provinces will surely climb the table once they start bashing up European visitors south of the equator.
"Everyone has still to go down there and it is going to be a massive challenge for the teams from the northern hemisphere to learn what it takes to play at Loftus and Ellis Park and Cape Town Stadium and in Durban. That is a massive challenge.
"There are a lot of quality sides in this tournament."

Celebrating George Washington's Birth Day
On February 22, 1732, Mary Ball Washington gave birth to a baby boy who was destined to change the course of a nation. Now almost three centuries later the influence of this one life has impacted countless millions. Earning the informal title "Father of his Country", George Washington has been held in such high esteem that significant celebrations were proclaimed by presidents, governors, and mayors across the land. Most of the celebrations included the reading of Washington's Farewell Address, one of the most powerful and meaningful political speeches ever given.
For example, during Abraham Lincoln's administration he recommended to the general public that "they assemble in their customary places of meeting for public solemnities on the 22d day of February instant and celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the Father of this Country by causing to be read to them his immortal Farewell Address."1
Lincoln likewise "requested to direct that orders be issued for the reading to the Army and Navy of the United States of the Farewell Address of George Washington, or such parts thereof as he may select, on the 22d day of February instant."2
On February 22, 1888, Senator John Ingalls of Kansas became the first senator to read George Washington's Farewell Address before the Senate. By 1893, the reading had become a regular annual event and began to be officially recorded on the Senate record. This continues to be an annual tradition with the assignment alternating between the two political parties. At the conclusion of each reading, the appointed senator inscribes his or her name in a black, leather-bound book maintained by the secretary of the Senate." Click here to see the Senate record including each senator who has read and signed their names in this book.
On February 22, 1982 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed "...as a Day of National Celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington. I urge the people of the United States, in their homes, schools, and places of work, to join me in commemorating the birth of George Washington by reflecting on the character and accomplishments of this great man and his incalculable contributions to the establishment of this Nation. Let us rededicate ourselves to the fulfillment of his ideals and his faith in the people and resources of the United States."3
Washington's Birthday became an official national holiday on January 31, 1879. This holiday was later moved to the third Monday in February by an act of congress. However, the name of the holiday was never officially changed. Even though it is common to refer to this holiday as "President's Day", the official name of the holiday is still "Washington's Birthday".4
In recent years many marketers have used the informal title of "Presidents Day" which has drawn less attention to George Washington and the incredible legacy he left, but his wisdom and example live on if we allow them to. Will you take a few minutes as a family and read or reread his farewell address? You may be amazed by what you read.

John Mulaney – From Stand-Up Comedian to SNL Writer
Mulaney's Establishment As a Comedy Icon
Even Everyone's Favorite Comedian Wrestles With Personal Issues
Photo/Video: John Mulaney/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel
From an English major at Georgetown University, where he would join an improv group with fellow legendary comedians Nick Kroll and Mike Birbiglia, the stand-up special king and former Saturday Night Live writer, John Mulaney, has established himself as one of the greatest comedians of the 21st century. He has said some of the most memorable jokes, "some of the things I was anxious about as a kid don't bother me at all anymore. Like I always thought quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be," and sensational performances in a myriad of different projects, ranging from his debut set on Late Night with Conan O'Brien ("it was always weird when I'd go out for the night with like some money, and then blackout and wake up with no money.

It was even weirder though when I would go out with some money, blackout, and wake up with more money because that means that I earned money, and that means that I traded goods, and/or services, which is scary,") his own series, Mulaney, and most recently, the Oscar-winning widely acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Aside from his undeniable performing talents, Mulaney has always been an amazing, and voracious writer, and is responsible for some of the greatest SNL characters, jokes, series, and specials of the 21st century.
Born and raised in Chicago in an intelligent and hardworking Irish Catholic family, Mulaney has always been surrounded by profound culture, from the deep attitudes and views of Irish Catholics to living most of his life in one of the biggest and most historic cities in the United States. This has more than likely contributed to his sharp perspectives on a wide myriad of topics, from city life, drinking, religion, and familial relations, all of which are just a few of the common themes in his comedy. After graduating from Georgetown University, Mulaney pursued a career in stand-up comedy, even opening for Mike Birbiglia on his stand-up tour during the beginning of his career. He later moved to New York City to advance his comedy career and landed an entry-level job with the enormously coveted comedy network kingpin, Comedy Central.
Though his attempts at making anything with the network didn't lead anywhere career-changing, Mulaney fostered his stand-up skills and worked relentlessly. He started to gain prominence in 2006 when he performed a set on Live at Gotham. A year later, Mulaney was invited to perform on Late Night with Conan O' Brien, where he crushed it and was invited back just a few months later. His comedic talents, keen wit, and musical delivery shined and resonated with audiences in a way that comedy hadn't seen since George Carlin or Norm McDonald, and he became a national hit not long after.
In 2008, Mulaney was offered the opportunity to audition for Saturday Night Live. His unconventional audition was structured as a stand-up routine but he weaved in some original characters and impressions. His undeniable talent earned him a position as a staff writer for the show, where he would go on to do occasional and always hilarious Weekend Update bits, and create some of the most memorable characters on the show, such as Bill Hader's Stefon. While Mulaney's career as a writer ballooned tremendously, his stand-up career was skyrocketing too. He simultaneously became a headliner and has performed on almost every major late-night show in the 21st century. Mulaney released his first comedy album, The Top Part, in 2009, and garnered positive commercial and critical reception. His second album in 2012, New In Town, gained Mulaney a strong following, but it wasn't until his 2015 album, The Comeback Kid, where he began to break the threshold from established comedian, to legendary comedian.
Aside from his stand-up and writing success, Mulaney has been acting more and more in the last decade. He's acted in Portlandia, Documentary Now!, Dickinson, and Big Mouth. His performance as the character Spider-Ham in 2018 was met with monumental praise, and he is sure to move forward in Sony's Spider-Man universe. As if Mulaney couldn't get any better, he and his wife, famous makeup artist Annamarie Tendler, are also supporters of Black Lives Matter, as is Hollywood Insider.
Just a year after joining the SNL writing staff in 2009, Mulaney shared a Peabody Award win with his fellow SNL writers. His work on the show also earned him several Emmy nominations, and even one Emmy win for co-writing the Justin Timberlake Monologue with Seth Meyers and Justin Timberlake. Meyers and Mulaney are both producers for Documentary Now! starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader, which was nominated for an Emmy. After being nominated for his stand-up album The Comeback Kid in 2016,
Mulaney later won his second Emmy for Kid Gorgeous at Radio City in 2018. It's clear that along with his commercial acclaim, and how well-known and beloved he is by hundred of millions of people around the world, the most prestigious critics and awarders see Mulaney as an incredible and important figure in the arts, one of which worthy of the noblest awards. Not many would disagree with labeling John Mulaney a comedy icon.
Sometime during the weekend starting December 19th, John Mulaney checked into a rehabilitation center for cocaine and alcohol abuse. Mulaney has been open about his substance abuse ever since his first stand up set on Late Night with Conan O' Brien, ("I can have one or two beers and my brain would be like "okay I see where this is headed. Why don't we just power down now, and then get restarted some time tomorrow morning?") and even on his Emmy-winning Kid Gorgeous special ("Fourteen years ago I smoked cocaine the night before my college graduation; now I'm afraid to get the flu shot. People change!").
His straightforwardness about these common problems that most people face has been even inspirational for some. In a country where millions struggle with substance abuse, it can be comforting, or even life-saving, for them to hear about their heroes' struggles too, and how even the people they idolize wrestle with the painful, pressure-filled qualms of human nature. Mulaney's stardom, and the pressure a star of his stature must live with everyday is unfathomable to many, and even being a world renown talent and having everything can lead you to substance abuse.
Most recently, Mulaney was announced as a new writer on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and will also be voicing Chip in fellow SNL alumni Akiva Schaffer's upcoming film Chip N' Dale, with Andy Samberg as Dale. Mulaney is sure to continue his incredible artistic endeavors, dazzling the world with his creativity, and making everyone laugh with his sharp, inventive, and unique wit. Here at Hollywood Insider, we happen to be enormous fans of John. We are inspired by you Mr. Mulaney, we will always root for you.

Q: Save multiple records for one model in CakePHP I would like to save several records for one model. This would have been done pretty easily with saveAll() if it hadn't been for a problem:
I have a notification form, where I select multiple users from a <select> and two fields, for subject and content respectively. Now, when I output what $this->data contains, I have:
Array([Notification] => Array
    (
        [user_id] => Array
            (
                [0] => 4
                [1] => 6
            )

        [subject] => subject
        [content] => the-content-here
    )
)

I've read on Cake 1.3 book, that in order to save multiple records for a model, you have to have the $this->data something like:
Array([Article] => Array(
        [0] => Array
            (
                        [title] => title 1
                    )
        [1] => Array
            (
                        [title] => title 2
                    )
            )
)

So, how do I 'share' the subject and content to all selected users?

A: Those values have to be repeat like this
Array([Notification] => Array(
        [0] => Array
            (
                        [user_id] => 4
                        [subject] => subjects
                        [content] => content
                    )
        [1] => Array
            (
                        [user_id] => 6
                        [subject] => subject
                        [content] => contents
                    )
            )
)

$this->Notification->saveAll($data['Notification']); // should work

If you don't pass any column value, this cake will just ignore it

A: First off, this database design needs to be normalized.
It seems to me like a Notification can have many Users related to it. At the same time, a User can have many Notifications. Therefore,

*

*Introduce a join table named users_notifications.

*Implement the HABTM Relationship: Notification hasAndBelongsToMany User

In the view, you can simply use the following code to automagically bring up the multi-select form to grab user ids:
echo $this->Form->input('User');

The data that is sent to the controller will be of the form:
Array(
    [Notification] => Array
        (
            [subject] => subject
            [content] => contentcontentcontentcontentcontentcontent
        ),
    [User] => Array
        (
            [User] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 4
                    [1] => 6
                )
         )
)

Now, all you have to do is called the saveAll() function instead of save().
$this->Notification->saveAll($this->data);

And that's the Cake way to do it!

A: You're going to have to massage your form's output to suit Model::saveAll. In your controller:
function action_name()
{
    if ($this->data) {

        if ($this->Notification->saveMany($this->data)) {
            // success! :-)
        } else {
            // failure :-(
        }
    }
}

And in your model:
function saveMany($data)
{
    $saveable = array('Notification'=>array());

    foreach ($data['Notification']['user_id'] as $user_id) {

        $saveable['Notification'][] = Set::merge($data['Notification'], array('user_id' => $user_id));
    }

    return $this->saveAll($saveable);
}

The benefit here is your controller still knows nothing about your model's schema, which it shouldn't.
In fact, you could probably redefine saveAll in your model, which hands off correctly formatted input arrays to parent::saveAll, but handles special cases itself.

A: There might be a more cakey way of doing this, but I've used this kind of technique: First, change the form so that you get an array like this:
Array(
    [Notification] => Array
        (
            [subject] => subject
            [content] => contentcontentcontentcontentcontentcontent
        ),
    [selected_users] => Array
        (
            [id] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 4
                    [1] => 6
                )
         )
)

(Just change the multiselect input's name to selected_users.id)
Then loop through the user ids and save each record individually:
foreach( $this->data[ 'selected_users' ][ 'id' ] as $userId ) {
    $this->data[ 'Notification' ][ 'user_id' ] = $userId;
    $this->Notification->create();  // initializes a new instance
    $this->Notification->save( $this->data );
}

The Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer. He was born in Cheshire, England, in 1832 the eldest boy in a family of six girls and four boys. From a young age he wrote poetry and short stories, many of which were published in magazines such as 'Mischmasch' and 'The Whitby Gazette.'
His most famous works are 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and the poems 'The Hunting of the Snark' and 'Jabberwocky', which embrace nonsense and word play as important literary devices. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies the world over dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works. It has been suggested that the character of Alice was based on a young child named Alice Liddell, who was the daughter of one of Carroll's Oxford colleagues and with whom Carroll had a strong friendship, though Carroll denied that his heroine was based on any particular child. He died from a severe case of pneumonia in 1898.
Author's Comment: (In a letter to Edith Blakemore, November, 1879) I have been awfully busy, and I've had to write heaps of letters - wheelbarrows full, almost. And it tires me so that generally I go to bed again the next minute after I get up; and sometimes I go to bed again a minute before I get up! Did you ever hear of any one being so tired as that?

This paper addresses the problem of safely navigating a mobile robot with limited sensing capability and limited information about stationary obstacles. We consider two sensing limitations: blind spots between sensors and limited sensing range. We identify a set of constraints on the sensors' readings whose satisfaction at time t guarantees collision-freedom during the time interval [t, t+Δt]. Here Δt is a parameter whose value is bounded by a function of the maximum velocity of the robot and the range of the sensors. The constraints are obtained under assumptions about minimum internal angle and minimum edge length of polyhedral obstacles. We apply these constraints in the switching logic of the Simplex architecture to obtain a controller that ensures collision-freedom. Experiments we have conducted are consistent with these claims. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to provide runtime assurance that an autonomous mobile robot with limited sensing can navigate without collisions with only limited information about obstacles.

Affidavit: Pierce town official, and self-proclaimed biker gang 'enforcer,' admits to stabbing missing woman
Crime | November 7, 2015
Sharon Dunn
sdunn@greeleytribune.com
Iler
What's next
Five suspects charged in the death of Tera Lewandowski in late September, appeared via video in Weld District Court. All are behind held in Weld County Jail without bond. Their cases have been continued:
» Chad Iler is set to appear in court for a status conference on Dec. 18, his 19th birthday.
» Michael Vassil, 23, is set to appear in court for a status conference Dec. 10.
» Daniel Meyer, 36, is set to appear in court for a status conference on Dec. 18.
» Crystal Griffin, 37, is set to appear for a hearing on bond on Nov. 24.
» Karly Hanchett, 18, is set to appear in court for a status conference on Dec. 10.
» Scott Hanchett, 21, has an open warrant for his arrest, and will be held in custody without bond.
A town board member from Pierce told Weld County sheriff's deputies he killed a woman after a hit was approved by his biker gang leader over an argument about drugs.
He and four others are being held in Weld County Jail without bond while they await further hearings. A sixth person has been located out of state and will be brought to Weld County.
All were arrested Oct. 29 and five have been charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and a violent crime causing death: Daniel "DJ" Meyer, 36, of Pierce; Chad Iler, 18, of Fort Collins; Mike Vassil, 23, of Fort Collins; Scott Hanchett, 21, and Karly Hanchett, 18. Crystal Griffin, 37, has been charged with accessory to the crime. All but Scott Hanchett, who has an active warrant for his arrest, appeared via video in Weld District Court on Wednesday morning. Their cases all were continued.
The story of the murder of Tera Lewandowski, 34, unfolded in a 15-page affidavit unsealed Wednesday by Weld District Court Judge Marcelo Kopcow. Lewandowski was apparently living in a house in Pierce with Meyer and Griffin for about a week. Authorities believe she was killed sometime between Sept. 29-30.
Police were tipped off to her disappearance by her mother, who said she believed her daughter was murdered after she failed to show for a doctor's appointment Sept. 30.
Her mother told sheriff deputies her daughter explained that "every night several young males come over to get high and are in possession of clubs, knives and one individual had a gun," the affidavit stated. "The individuals would then go out in a vehicle to find someone to beat up."
According to Weld County records, the home in Pierce is owned by Meyer, an active board member for the town of Pierce, and according to the affidavit, "the enforcer" in a biker gang in which members call themselves the "21 Crew," also known as the "Unforgivens." The gang is not a recognized gang in Weld County, reports Mike Prill, a gang expert with the Greeley Police Department. But, that doesn't mean the group didn't operate as a gang, he said.
The night before she disappeared, Lewandowski texted her mother: "stay by your phone, something might happen tonight," the affidavit stated.
Lewandowski apparently made the mistake of taking umbrage at one of the roommates stealing her prescription pain medications. Griffin said Lewandowski also had an argument with Karly Hanchett that also may have sparked her "hit," according to the affidavit. Once the purported gang leader, Vassil's father, approved the hit, the suspects in the case killed her, then dumped her body in Wyoming, according to the affidavit.
Griffin told deputies Meyer was stealing Lewandowski's medications, and he had been talking about killing her for days, but she didn't think he was serious, the affidavit said.
Griffin told deputies Meyer, Vassil, Iler, Karly and Scott Hanchett, all members of the gang, trudged together upstairs of the Meyer home around midnight, Sept. 29, and confronted Lewandowski. Griffin said all she heard was Lewandowski say, "Why?" and Meyer respond, "Because you're a (expletive)."
The affidavit stated all had their assigned duties when they confronted Lewandowski in her second-floor bedroom. Two were supposed to hit her, and one was supposed to stab her. Meyer, according to the affidavit, admitted to stabbing her in the chest once.
Her body was taken downstairs, and eventually wrapped in a blanket and put in the back of a pickup, the affidavit stated. Griffin said she was instructed to drive, but could not lead authorities to the whereabouts of Lewandowski's body. She said the body was wrapped in a carpet, but the carpet was left open so wildlife could get to it.
Meyer told authorities her body was taken 100 miles into Wyoming, and dropped about 50 feet off the road. After several searches, by air and on land, her body still has not been recovered.
The group apparently took Lewandowski's belongings to the Hanchetts' home in Nunn, and burned them. Authorities found several items in ashes under a pile of dirt, the affidavit stated, that were consistent with Lewandowski's property, including her Ipad.
After the belongings were burned, one member wrapped up the knife and disposed of it in Scottsbluff, Neb., by dumping it into a McDonald's dumpster, the affidavit stated.
Some members of the group also took her dog several miles into the Pawnee Grasslands and left it there. The dog was later found and identified as Lewandowski's.
Griffin told authorities she and Karly Hanchett cleaned up the house, where authorities later found bottles of hydrogen peroxide with spray nozzles attached. Investigators sprayed Luminol throughout the house, which detects the presence of blood through a chemical reaction. Hydrogen peroxide, however, can break down the properties in blood to render it undetectable by Luminol, the affidavit stated. Regardless, traces of blood were found throughout the house, the affidavit stated.
Meyer is listed as a trustee on the Pierce Town Board. A town official did not return a call Wednesday afternoon seeking comment.

Former Michigan Congressman Among Trump Pardons
December 28, 2020 Featured, News, State News Comments Off on Former Michigan Congressman Among Trump Pardons 2,191 Views
One of President Donald Trump's latest rounds of pardons included a former Michigan U.S. Representative.
Mark Siljander served three full terms and one partial term in the House, representing southwest Michigan. He lost his seat when he was upset by current Congressman Fred Upton in the 1986 Republican primary. The turning point came when Siljander sent an audio recording to conservative pastors imploring them to unite behind him to "break the back of Satan."
Following his loss, he became a lobbyist.
In 2010, Siljander was investigated for work he did for an Islamic charity that federal authorities said was linked to terrorist groups. He pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and served a year in prison, and six months of supervised release. Money laundering charges were dropped, and terrorism charges were considered, but never filed.
Upton reacted to the pardon on Twitter, saying he was "stunned" and "beyond disappointed." He called on the president to "focus his energy on helping the millions of families and small businesses ravaged by the pandemic."
