Seaton: Adventures in Lock Picking!
I took up lock picking recently.
The idea came in a moment when I was cleaning out the kids' toy room and came across a pick set I'd ordered a couple years ago but never really used. So I watched a couple of YouTube tutorials, read a manual, and started working on "bypassing pin tumblers."
It was hard at first. Really, really hard. And because I'm a stubborn son of a bitch and won't let something go until I get it, I kept a pick set and practice padlock with me all the time.
Now I go to restaurants and order carry-out food a couple times a week. Prior to my newfound picking passion, I might take a deck of cards and wait, fidgeting with the cards doing false shuffles and flourishes. No one cared.
Everyone gets interested in the guy at the bar with a pick set and a trainer lock. Guys, give it a shot. You'll probably get at least one phone number for your effort, plus it's a hell of an ice breaker at a bar.
Funny thing about picking is when you start you learn how many people share your interest. I know at least two magicians, one who consults for "Fool Us," that are quite proficient lock pickers. A guy I know who does repo is amazing with a rake and just touch.
The SRO at my kids' school is interested in my hobby, too. I think for different reasons. Serves her for being nosy, anyway. It's not like we can use our phones in car line.
Every lock is kind of like a puzzle you have to manipulate solely by touch. That's what makes the art of lockpicking so interesting to me and so banal for millennials who've developed few muscles in their hands beyond those required to text.
My wife is very supportive of my new hobby, which is nice because the woman hates magic with a passion. The kids are so/so; my son has a greater interest than my daughter. I suspect his analytical mind at work enjoys seeing how locks operate.
As far as my parents, they've not stopped asking why I didn't pursue this as a trade. Hindsight being what it is, I could've made a lot money for less schooling if I did. Life's funny like that.
One thing you learn really quickly is repeatedly picking a lock damages its integrity every time. It's why people tell you as a beginner to never pick a lock on which you rely regularly. So if I ever lock myself out of my house, hopefully I'll only have to do it once.
Hopefully that won't be when other people are around because even though wearing face masks are a staple of life now, wearing one and trying to pick a front door lock might not be a good look when cops roll by.
You also can get a decent set for about $30 on Amazon. Honestly, you can get anything on Amazon, but a good set will run you in that range. Don't even bother with the novelty stuff like the "jack knife" sets, either. Just get a basic SouthOrd or Bogota set and practice.
When you're practicing, one helpful tip is to use half the pressure you'd think necessary on the tools. What you're using right now? Halve it. Try THAT for a Zen riddle, motherfuckers.
I'll see everyone next week. Right now my attention's focused on a level 3 lock I've studied for a couple days now. Everyone have a great weekend, and try something new!

As someone that also bought a set and forgot about it for years, it's a fun hobby. I started practicing a few years back, when I wanted to get into a lock that was missing a key. My kids LOVED watching me try on the practice locks and have also asked to learn. The 11 year old is pretty good, so perhaps she can be sparred a millenial fate.
My town clerk saw me trying before a meeting and asked if I'd be able to do the file cabinet they never quite knew what they had in it, seeing as they lost the key ages back (old liquor licenses). After my neighbor's friend was locked out of their house in her PJ's, I was forced to graduate to being able to pick a deadbolt a bit early.
Now, if I could only figure out those darn tubular pin tumblers. At least there's always another challenge awaiting. Enjoy.

I got a set of jigglers recently. Can't use them to save my life.
My five year old son could probably start my car with them.
The kids are going to be alright, Keith.

After his first semester at MIT, my son came home with a lock picking set. It seems that the first thing he did was become a hacker (which has a somewhat different meaning at MIT as someone who can enter anywhere to perform pranks, or hacks as they call it there). He got pretty good at it. I wonder what became of his tools.
Miles April 16, 2021 at 9:07 am
Did he ever make the Hacking Hall of Fame?
He did, but to say more would violate the hackers' ethos.

"lock picking lawyer"* has been done before.
* It's a youtube channel (and interesting/entertaining).
Some will see the vid at the end. Some will comment without seeing it.
The video didn't show up for me. It's there now. Hmm.
The icon at the upper right is hard to read on mobile.
I wouldn't know. I use computers.
CLS April 16, 2021 at 3:57 pm
The fact everything works smoothly on my iPad makes this exchange all the funnier.
Guitardave April 16, 2021 at 8:20 am
Wow, that vid was almost as exciting as an underwater basket weaving contest.
We each pick in our own special ways, GD.
You're right…and it is more interesting than picking ones nose.
I didn't say anything about the utility of acquiring such a skill, or my admiration for people that can do things that require a lot of practice…
And I am familiar with tedious small mechanical things that require more than a six second attention span, and a light touch.
But I bet you'd love watching a vid of me rebuilding the carbs on a '76 Honda Goldwing about as much as I'd like watching you change the bands on one of your 57,235 watches, amirite?
You would be so mistaken, although my favorite carb rebuild would be twin HD8 SU carbs. Watches aren't my only interest.
Charles April 16, 2021 at 12:06 pm
I would've thought our host was referring to a guitar, but then you probably don't use a pick. Or a capo.
I tried to find LPL's rant on tension tools, as it was funnier, but I was on a deadline.
Can't please them all.

You know someone that works on Fool US?
I'm impressed!
His main gig is consulting with other magicians to make their stuff better. He's found two or three Foolers since he's worked with the show.
And he's got the best brick and mortar magic shop in the country.
Search YouTube for "sleight of foot" and you'll probably see his Fool Us appearance.
I'm deliberately omitting his name as I'm not sure he'd want it known he's acquainted with my goofy ass.
I had a pal at the Mildred B. Moss Elementary School. His nickname was "Fang," because he fell on the playground and chipped his two front teeth. In high school, he started doing magic at kids birthday parties under the name "The Great Davido." He later went pro under a different name.
Bear April 16, 2021 at 10:57 am
I don't know if your friend could pick locks, but eventually he could make it appear so.
Regarding Mr. Seaton's post: I was taught idle hands are the devil's tools. Glad to see you're on the side of the angels, CLS.

I made my own lock pic kit out of micro hack saw blades. I first attempted to pick a kwikset deadbolt and was absolutely shocked that I was able to pic the lock in seconds. After that I bought a Medeco for my house that is virtually impossible to pic. Also of note is that I have had several cases where a client was charged with possession of burglary tools for either a lock pic, shaved key or a screw driver. I can't recall any of those cases where the client was engaged in a burglary at the time. Think if you were stopped by the police and asked, "why do have a lock pic set"? And you said "oh, lock picking is my hobby, I swear I'm not a burglar". "Look, here's my bar card".
Interesting question. To which I'll tell you I'd practice what I preach and tell any cop "I can't answer your questions as my lawyers say it's not okay unless they're present."
Even my Kindergarten age son knows this.
LY April 16, 2021 at 7:38 pm
Nice unpickable Medeco lock in the door with glass panes right next to the window into the living room. A big dog or even a small loud one is more effective against burglars. And there are videos teaching you to pick them in under 5 minutes on utube.
Got my Southord set a few years ago and ended up using it to let my daughter into a house she was babysitting at and got locked out when she didn't realize they had a knob lock that locked when the door closed instead of just a deadbolt.
I DON'T carry it around as a rule, with my job I can't afford the questions.

LPL's April Fools Day videos will forever remain the very height of comedy.
Your comment intrigues me, Scott Jacobs. I must find these videos now.

After falling from a car park roof, cartoonist Tom Hannah is left with partial amnesia and the feeling that something important is missing from his life. His journey to recovery is hampered by a growing inability to distinguish between real and imaginary events. The characters from his cartoon strip assume a grimy reality, while the lives of his family and friends appear ever more unreal. The Wrong Story is about the borderlands between memory, imagination and the real world. It is about the desire for self-determination and the obligations on a responsible creator. But mostly it's about a man who falls off a roof and wants to know why – was it an accident, did he jump, or was he pushed?
After falling off a roof Tom, a cartoonist, starts to see his characters around him and as a result, we learn so much more than expected about the lines blurring reality and fiction. He is exceptionally keen to find out just what happened the day that he fell and we are brought along on his journey along with trying, as a reader, to fill in the blanks.
Each character had a marvellous way of causing me to have emotions towards them. I am not ashamed to say that I detest Lawerence and I want to get to know the always-angry café owner to find out just why she is seen in this manner.
I found it an exceptionally engaging read, even went as far as to leave it on the car dash so people could see it as they walked past. The cover is very eye-catching and I am sure that some people may just look into it as a result of having seen it.
The Wrong Story is well written, positively hilarious and exceptionally surreal. A must-read for anyone who loves a quirky tale.
James lives near Bath and writes fiction. His first novel, The Wrong Story, was featured on Hookline's Discover New Writers page and was published in March, 2017, by Unbound Books.

I've been more-or-less enamored with VR tech since I first tried the Oculus DK2 at PAX Prime in 2013. The experience, while not "life-changing" felt like a big step forward in Human-Computer interfaces (playing EVE Valkyrie in VR was really freaking cool).
Since that first demo, I've been somewhat closely following the development of the Oculus and - more recently - the HTC Vive. For what it's worth, Tested's weekly podcast "This is Only a Test" has been a great resource for keeping up-to-date with VR news and developments.
So I was really curious to see user reviews of the Oculus CV1, which started shipping last week, and the HTC Vive, for which the first press reviews have just gone online. What I saw was largely to-be-expected: The Oculus has better industrial design and a smoother user experience, but the HTC Vive's room-scale experiences and included hand controllers are really what gives the "Wow" factor to these early VR platforms.
Of particular note as a trend in product reviews I've seen was the general consensus that the consumer version of the Vive - like it's dev-kit predecessor - feels like unfinished hardware. This could potentially a real hindrance to the acceptance of the SteamVR platform. The DK1 and DK2 have been readily available to VR-nuts (who could afford them) for several years; this round of consumer launches was supposed to be when the 'polished' version of VR was released to general audiences. It's understandable that the dev Vive would feel like what it is - a dev kit, but if the consumer version feels unfinished, that really could hurt HTC's chances of being the victor in the "VR Wars" we're entering into.
To be fair, all of these platforms - including yet-to-be-released Playstation VR - are the very essence of first-generation devices which you probably shouldn't buy.
And that's why I'm holding off. Not solely because of the $600 and $800 prices of the Oculus and Vive, respectively, but because I think VR headsets will be so much better in their next iterations.
The other factor is, of course, GPU performance. Completely unrelated to the development of VR, we've been seemingly (and frustratingly) stuck in the land of Nvidia 980's and AMD 390x's for the past two years, and with Pascal and Polaris presumably coming soon, this is not a great time to invest in a new GPU.
Buying hard into VR now will likely leave you incredibly disappointed when, in 12-24 months, we'll have iterated at least once on the GPU side of things, headsets have seen another generation (or 2), and the experience of VR will be just so much better than what we get now.
Though I will not be partaking in it, the launch of these VR platforms is still super interesting and I sincerely hope that these products are financial successes (especially in the case of HTC, which might very well fold if the Vive doesn't do well) - I'm well aware that my second or third generation VR headset will have been 'subsidized' by first-gen early adopters. I hope that VR does succeed, and look forward to a time when VR truly goes mainstream.


Following an official visit in Blacksburg over the weekend, Robert Porcher has let his college future be known.
The Dr. Phillips (Orlando, FL) defensive end announced a verbal commitment to Virginia Tech on Monday.
Porcher had originally committed to Nebraska in late June and went on to make an official visit to Lincoln this past September.
On October 22, the 2017 prospect took an official visit to Michigan.
Less than a month later, Porcher decommitted from the Cornhuskers on December 12 and made an official visit to Michigan State 10 days ago.
He currently holds scholarship offers from 35 schools and most recently landed offers from UCF (May 25), Michigan (May 24), USF (May 13), Rutgers (May 12) and Missouri (May 10).

Château El Masr à Cologny
Le château El Masr construit en 1883-84 par Henri Bourrit et Jacques Simmler pour Charles Flood. Haut donjon carré, crénelé, de quatre niveaux au-dessus d'un socle, flanqué d'une tourelle d'angle ronde d'observation et encadré de deux corps de bâtiments asymétriques. Le plus haut renferme une chapelle seigneuriale éclairée de grandes baies ogivales et portant le monogramme du commanditaire.
Porche sculpté, au sommet d'un escalier à double volée, d'inspiration baroque. Exercice d'architecture néo-médiévale écossaise, murs en pierre de Meillerie.
A l'angle de la propriété conservation de la tour- médiévale romantique en tuf élevée par l'architecte entrepreneur Ami Demierre en 1865.
Le château a servi de décor au film "L'iconnu de Shandigor" en 1967
Since the 18th Century, Cologny has been home to some beautiful country houses. As one of the eight towns juxtaposing the city of Geneva, Cologny is the least populated town and thus emphasizes its village character, which is mainly residential.
Towards the end of the 18th Century, Jean-Paul Demierre purchased this property belonging to the Geneva cooper. It was his son, Ami Demierre, who built the tower at the entrance to this property, now covered with ivy. This tower is identical to the Champel Tower, since Ami Demierre used the materials left over from building the latter.
When this property was bought at the end of the 19th Century by Scotsman Charles Floods, who had just returned from Egypt where he made his fortune, he kept this tower and had the architects Bourrit and Simmler build a half Gothic, half Oriental style chateau in 1883-1884, which he named El Masr, meaning the Egyptian.
Since then the current owner spent five years renovating this building. From the columns to the roof, everything has been renovated with great care, respecting each detail in order to perfectly maintain the Neo-Elizabethan style, which was very fashionable in Great Britain at the time of the initial construction of the chateau. The chandeliers of this residence were created especially in Murano for this chateau, and the marble fountains and statues that decorate the outside of this chateau were imported from Venice in order to maintain the harmony of this trend.
The Chateau El Masr is the only example in Geneva of Neo-Tudor style. This home is comprised of a terrace donjon and a turret staircase with an incredible view over Calvin's City and the Lake Geneva water fountain. This delightful locale also has crenels, machicolations, and a seigniorial chapel.

The court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II produced nothing more amazing than the "Mira Calligraphae Monumenta", a brilliant amalgamation of two arts - calligraphy and miniature painting. The project began when Georg Bocskay, a pre-eminent scribe) assembled a vast selection of contemporary and historic scripts ranging from the latest Italic and humanist writing to antique Roman and German Gothic. Years later, at Rudolf's behest, court artist Joris Hoefnagel filled the spaces on each manuscript page with images of fruit, flowers, insects and other natural minutiae. This marvel of the Central European Renaissance is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum. A selection from its pages is presented here in this book, which will be of interest to scholars, collectors, bibliophiles and art historians.

Lower School Newsletter - October 20, 2021
As a sixth-grade leadership opportunity, the advisories on the fourth floor put their creative skills to use to design and paint their class number to mount on the Lower School barn. In late September, students received a digital copy of the number 28, representing their graduating class year. They were asked to brainstorm and design, using colors, symbols and words that embody Flint Hill School. In early October, students had the opportunity to view all of the submissions and selected one as their chosen design. The following day, each student received a Google Form to view the top five submissions and made a final selection. As a culminating activity, students brought the class-selected design to fruition by working collaboratively to draw and paint their graduating year and have it ready to display during the week of Homecoming. The Class of '28 number is now mounted onto the side of the barn for the remainder of the school year!
Megan and I are so excited to host our first Lower School Virtual Classroom Visit on Friday, October 22, 8:15–8:45 a.m. For the first round, we will visit 3A for Morning Meeting, JK for music, 2A for math, and 6B for language arts. At approximately 8:50 a.m., parents will participate in a thinking routine to document their observations. Lastly, Megan and I will open the floor for our Lower School families to ask questions and learn more about us! We look forward to spending time with you on Friday.
On Friday, October 29, 2:15–2:45 p.m., we will have our Lower School Virtual Halloween Parade. We are so excited to resume this wonderful experience for our Lower School Huskies! Please be sure to check your child's Seesaw journal on Friday, October 22, for details about costumes and plans for the parade, which will also be in next week's Newsletter.
It's Time to Showcase the Global Day of Play!
The Global Day of Play was a HUGE success! Most importantly, our Huskies had the best time creating their classroom "campout." We missed having families with us to volunteer. Please take a look at additional photos from last week's event!

Making the Learning Visible
Science Egg Drop Experiment in Fifth Grade!
During science, the 5A class was given the challenge of protecting an egg when dropped from the third floor to the second floor. The catch was that they could only use straws, balloons, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, cotton balls, and tape.
Trial 1: For some groups, the first try didn't work. We took videos of each drop and used the video to reflect on what we could do differently in the next trial to be successful.
Trial 2: Learning from our mistakes helped us be successful. 5A uses a growth mindset in all of our subjects!
Trial 3: We noticed that we used a lot of materials on the first and second drops. We wanted to challenge ourselves and see if we limited our resources, could we still be successful?
Not everyone was successful this time around, but in 5A we know that the real learning happens when you fail first!

Arsen Avakov, the Interior Minister of Ukraine claimed on the necessity to adopt law 'On collaborators' that will concern citizens of occupied territories as Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
According to him, the law should concern ordinary citizens who were forced to live and work in the occupied territories.
According to a minister, the adoption of the law 'On collaborators' is compulsory because it is necessary to determine the status of each person – whether he is victim of partakes, not critical participator or must be denunciated.
'If a person worked in the officer it is either inevitably, good or bad. But the society adopted a law and you will not be punished for this. If a person shot the Protestant ministers in Sloviansk and buried them in the pit, and it is a real case, there is no place for a compromise: a person should answer to justice', he explained.
Also, Avakov noted the necessity to adopt the law on the amnesty.
'After this (the taking of the particular regions under control of Ukraine and holding of the election), Ukraine should adopt the law on the amnesty. It should concern everyone, except those who have blood on their hands, who killed our soldiers, participated in the repressions against the civilians. They are the criminals for our state and should be punished as the amnesty does not concern them', Avakov added.
Earlier Arsen Avakov announced his plan on the reintegration of occupied territories of Donbas.


When considering Parisian style, the consensus is: Anything goes. While a definitive aesthetic definition remains elusive, the following esteemed interior designers, who have just completed or are in the process of renovating historic Parisian properties, agree that Parisian style is at once unapologetic, elegant, classic, and above all, captivating. It is Paris's combination and reverence for both old and new that, when done right, make interior style in the City of Light the envy of the world.
Fabrics by Pierre Frey adorn the bedrooms at Relais Christine.
The exterior of Relais Christine, located two minutes from the Seine.
Designer Madelyn Byrne says the renovation of 25 Place Dauphine may have been the biggest challenge of her career, and at the same time, her largest reward. As owner and lead designer of Paris Perfect, a luxury apartment rental company with locations throughout Paris (along with sister agencies in London and Italy), she had decorated more than 70 apartments in Paris, but it was 25 Place Dauphine, a historically significant 17th-century building located at "Kilometer Zero" on Île de la Cité, that may well hold the key to her design legacy for years to come.
Considered to be one of the most beautiful squares in Paris, Place Dauphine was the first real estate development in history, with dozens of attached residences commissioned for Paris's middle class by Henri IV. It was completed in 1610.
After two years of renovation, Byrne and her team transformed the dilapidated 17th-century building into an opulent collection of seven apartments, each with unique decor pieces, color schemes, and, thanks to the original eclectic construction, ceiling heights. Byrne frequented Paris's Vanves Flea Market and Les Puces for pieces such as mirrors, artwork, chandeliers, and antiques, and worked with her favorite French suppliers, such as Blanc d'Ivoire, for headboards, coffee tables, and nightstands.
When the Ritz Paris closed for renovation in 2012, the city held its collective breath. Many feared a reimagined Ritz, under the vision of American artist, architect, designer, and Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur recipient Thierry Despont, would be an altogether different hotel than the one travelers for more than a century had so publicly adored.
Guests were pleased to find that after the hotel's four-year renovation, the Ritz's soul remained intact. In fact, nothing in the Ritz Paris has been discarded or sold. The oak woodwork, curtains, Mareuil stone floors, gilding, decorative objects, paintings, and parquet floors had been painstakingly removed piece by piece, cataloged, and restored.
"The preservation of many small historic details was a priority," says Despont. Returning guests will recognize swans on the bathroom fixtures, cords to call for the valet and housekeeping, old-fashioned keys for lighting, tulip lamps, and the Marthe porcelain service by Haviland, used at the Ritz Paris since its opening in 1898.

(Vatican Radio) In the course of a dialogue during a meeting with the participants in the Plenary Assembly of Superiors General, which took place in May, Pope Francis expressed his intention to "establish an official commission that could study the question" of the diaconate of women, "especially with regard to the first ages of the Church."
After intense prayer and mature reflection, Pope Francis has decided to institute the Commission for the Study of the Diaconate of Women. As president of the Commission, Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, SJ. In addition to Archbishop Ladaria, the commission is composed of six women and six men from academic institutions around the world.
Below, please find the complete list of the members of the Commission for the Study of the Diaconate of Women:

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Local bishops have an obligation to welcome new movements and communities and guide them, while the groups have an obligation to obey the local bishop and avoid the appearance of setting up a parallel church, said a new Vatican document.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's letter to bishops around the world on "the relationship between hierarchical and charismatic gifts in the life and mission of the church" was released June 14.
The hierarchical gifts -- teaching, sanctifying and governing -- are those conferred with ordination. The charismatic gifts refer to those given by the Holy Spirit to groups or individuals to help them live the faith more intensely and to share the faith with others through missionary activity and acts of charity.

(Vatican Radio) It was announced on Friday Pope Francis has decided to raise the celebration of the memorial of St. Mary Magdalene to the dignity of a liturgical Feast.
In the modern Church calendar, saints may be commemorated with a memorial (optional or obligatory), feast, or solemnity.
The decree was signed on 3 June 2016, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart.
In a letter announcing the change, the Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Arthur Roche, writes the decision means one "should reflect more deeply on the dignity of women, the New Evangelization, and the greatness of the mystery of Divine Mercy."
Archbishop Roche drew attention to the fact Mary Magdalene was the first witness to the Resurrection, and is the one who announced the event to the Apostles.
"Saint Mary Magdalene is an example of true and authentic evangelization; she is an evangelist who announces the joyful central message of Easter," he writes.

Q: Finding a function of a random variable that maximizes some expression The following problem is part of my studies, so I would prefer hints or suggestions for self-study.
Let $v_1$ be a random variable taking values in $[a,b]$ for $a,b\in \mathbb R$ and assume that the distribution of $v_1$ has density $f_1$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Let $b_1 : [a,b] \rightarrow [0,1]$ be a unknown mapping and let $b_2 \in [0,1]$ be a variable. Let $g:[0,1]\times[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a mapping given by:
$$
g(b_1(v_1),b_2) = \Pr (b_1(v_1) \geq b_2) \cdot \mathbb E(v_1 - b_1(v_1))
$$
The problem is then how to find $b_1$ such that $g$ is maximized.
My problem is, that $b_1(v_1)$ is a random variable when $v_1$ is a random variable. Thus I cannot find first-order conditions with respect to $b_1(v_1)$.
I have tried to replace $v_1$ with a non-random variable $x$ taking values in $[0,1]$ and then taking first-order conditions with respect to $x$ and later replacing $v_1$ back again. This gives a result, however $b_1$ becomes constant. Hence it 'loses' it's randomness.
I have read a bit on Radon-Nikodym derivatives but they seems to apply on measures and not random variables. It might be a problem of calculus of variations but my knowledge in this area is very scarce.
Can someone give me a hint?

EXCLUSIVE: Jill Biden Chief Of Staff Selling US Citizenship in 'Fraud-Wracked' Visa Scheme 'Abused' by Chinese Communists
by Natalie Winters
Julissa Reynoso – who would serve as Jill Biden's Chief of Staff in a Biden administration – is listed as an advisory board member for a firm selling U.S. citizenship via the EB5 Visa program, The National Pulse can reveal.
Reynoso is currently listed on the Advisory Board of 'EB5 Visa Funds', where her previous positions of U.S. Ambassador to Uruguay and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central American, Caribbean and Cuban Affairs in the Obama administration are prominently displayed.
Reynoso omits her visa work from her bio with her current employer, law firm Winston & Strawn. Her bio does, however, reveal her stint as a Soros Fellow for 'New Americans' – a program which hands almost $100,000 to a handful of immigrants each year.
'PAY-FOR-CITIZENSHIP'
Leveraging her Obama-era credentials, the first three sentences in the Chief of Staff to Jill Biden's biography reads:
Julissa has extensive policy and legal experience, engaging both as a lawyer in private practice and as a senior diplomat on behalf of the United States Government. Julissa Reynoso is the former United States Ambassador to Uruguay. Julissa also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central American, Caribbean and Cuban Affairs in the US Department of State.
Reynoso doubles as an EB5 Visa saleswoman.
EB5 Visa Funds' homepage insists the firm can secure "your path to u.s. citizenship through profitable investment."
The firm also boasts of having "program advantages to securing Green Cards" such as ensuring the investor "does not have to be continuously present in the U.S., and can maintain business and professional relations in their own country" and that there are "no requirements regarding age, business experience or language skills":
There are no requirements regarding age, business experience or language skills.
The program does not require investors to manage their investment on a daily basis.
As a limited partner, an investor is free to pursue other professional or personal ventures.
An investor does not have to be continuously present in the U.S., and can maintain business and professional relations in their own country.
An investor does not have to live in the city or state where their EB-5 investment is located.
The phone number listed on the page directs callers to General American Capital Partners, a Florida-based private equity firm founded by Joseph DaGrosa Jr. and David Neithardt.
MUST READ: Joe Biden Has Spent Over 25 Percent of his Presidency on Vacation.
The former, along with ex Democratic Mayor of Miami Manny Diaz, is listed on the advisory board of the firm and appears to have an EB5 Visa corporation registered under his name.
'SCANDAL & FRAUD'
The EB5 Visa program has been slammed by conservative critics as having "long been plagued by scandal and fraud, and has been criticized as effectively functioning as a pay-for-citizenship scheme in many cases." Even Democratic Senators have sponsored legislation to end the visa type, with Senator Dianne Feinstein calling it "inherently flawed."
"It says that U.S. citizenship is for sale. It is wrong to have a special pathway to citizenship for the wealthy while millions wait in line for visas," the California Democrat added.
A Florida-based businessman pleaded guilty to a "plan to build a biotechnology plant in Newport, Vermont, using millions raised through the EB-5 visa program."
Another flag with the program is how the overwhelming majority – over 80 percent – of visas go to Chinese nationals – often with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
As Representatives Jim Jordan and Guy Reschenthaler of the House Judiciary Committee noted, "Although the EB-5 program's goal of stimulating capital investment and job creation in the United States is laudable, it has become clear in recent years that the CCP may be abusing the program to gain access to U.S. permanent residency for their members."
The National Pulse has reached out to Julissa and EB5 Visa Funds, via EB5 Visa Funds, but received no comment or response at the time of publication.

Mohsen Manesh: What is the Practical Importance of Default Rules under Delaware LLC and LP Law?
What is the Practical Importance of Default Rules under Delaware LLC and LP Law?
Mohsen Manesh
University of Oregon School of Law
I have one principal contribution to make to this symposium, which is to suggest that although Chief Justice Myron Steele's provocative assertion—that there are and should be no default fiduciary duties under Delaware LLC and LP law[1]—is interesting as a theoretical matter, it probably has limited practical importance. Sophisticated parties can and will contract to avoid undesirable default rules. And LLCs and LPs with passive (presumably unsophisticated) investors have contractually created an almost de facto rule eliminating fiduciary duties. Thus, even if one believes Chief Justice Steele's thesis is problematic, the problem it creates affects only a small portion of Delaware's alternative entity universe.
Bargained-For Exchange among Sophisticated Parties
As others in this symposium have noted, Chief Justice Steele limits his analysis to LLC and LP agreements that are the product of a "bargained for exchange" among "sophisticated" parties.[2] But it is among this very group that the debate as to default rules is likely to have the least relevance. Regardless of the default rules that apply to LLCs and LPs, as long as Delaware law affords the maximum freedom of contract to deviate from such rules,[3] sophisticated parties can and will contract for their desired result. By hypothesis, sophisticated parties are aware of the default rules, understand they are not inescapably bound to such rules and will bargain for different rules if the default rules are undesirable. If fiduciary duties apply as the default, sophisticated parties that want to eliminate or modify such duties can and will easily do so.[4] If, on the other hand, no fiduciary duties apply as the default, as Chief Justice Steele advocates, sophisticated parties can just as easily impose corporate-like fiduciary duties (or some subset of such duties) by simple reference to such duties in the terms of the LLC or LP governing agreement.[5]
To be sure, Chief Justice Steele would disagree with this analysis. He argues that it is easier (or, to use his jargon, it would reduce "contracting costs") to contractually recreate fiduciary duties in a world where no fiduciary duties is the default (i.e., Chief Justice Steele's preferred world) than to selectively eliminate limited aspects of fiduciary duties in a world where fiduciary duties are the default (i.e., the world in which we currently live).[6] But it is not clear that this is true. In a world where fiduciary duties apply as the default, parties wishing to retain only a discrete aspect of the fiduciary duties (for example, a restriction on self-dealing transactions) may simply eliminate all fiduciary duties (which Chief Justice Steele agrees may be achieved "at little cost"[7]) and then draft an explicit contractual provision prescribing the specific conduct that default fiduciary principles would otherwise normally prescribe (which Chief Justice Steele suggests would be also simple to draft[8]). Although Chief Justice Steele raises the concern that such provisions will "necessarily appear contradictory,"[9] LLC and LP agreements eliminating all fiduciary duties but also restricting self-dealing transactions are quite common, and there is little reason to believe the Delaware courts would have trouble interpreting such agreements.[10] Thus, it seems that regardless of the default rule, if the default rule is undesirable, sophisticated parties can and will readily contract to avoid it.
LLC and LP Agreements imposed on Passive Investors
In contrast to LLCs and LPs bargained for by sophisticated parties, Chief Justice Steele excludes from his analysis LPs and LLCs that involve passive (presumably unsophisticated) investors, who purchased or otherwise acquired their units and were not involved in the formation or negotiation of the underlying LLC or LP agreement.[11] Perhaps because such entities bear closer resemblance to public corporations, Chief Justice Steele would retain fiduciary duties as a default for such entities.
But even if default rules continue to apply fiduciary duties to LLCs and LPs that involve passive investors, such rules will be largely irrelevant. This is because LLCs and LPs with passive investors still retain the statutory right to contract out of the default rules,[12] and my recent work suggests that almost all such entities actually do.[13] In a study forthcoming in the Journal of Corporation Law, I find that 88% of publicly traded Delaware LLCs and LPs—firms that have sold units to disaggregated, largely passive public investors—have either entirely waived all fiduciary duties owed to investors or eliminated any liability arising from the breach of such duties.[14] This finding is perhaps unsurprising given that for publicly traded LLCs and LPs, the firm's governing agreement is not the product of a give-and-take bargaining process between the firm and sophisticated investors sitting around a negotiating table, but rather drafted exclusively by the firm's promoters and offered to public investors on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. And although my results are limited to the relatively few extant publicly traded Delaware LLCs and LPs, it is not unreasonable to believe that private LLCs and LPs with passive investors eliminate fiduciary duties with similar frequency.
Thus, even putting aside the problems of bifurcating default rules for sophisticated and unsophisticated parties that Callison and Vestal[15] as well as Johnson[16] have noted, the ultimate default rules in this context prove largely irrelevant. Given the statutory freedom of contract to deviate from default rules, LLCs and LPs with passive investors regularly eliminate fiduciary duties. In this sense, debating whether fiduciary duties should apply as a default in the context of LLCs and LPs with passive investors is like debating whether the fiduciary duty of care should apply as a default in the context of public corporations. The debate is largely academic: in practice, the de jure default rule applying such duties has been all but replaced with a de facto practice eliminating the same.[17]
Limited Practical Relevance for Delaware
So, for whom are Delaware's default rules regarding fiduciary duties relevant? Perhaps it is those Delaware residents—those "mom and pop" businesses, as Kleinberger describes them[18]—who may be legally unsophisticated but desire to use the LLC form to obtain limited liability and pass-through partnership tax treatment for their small business. Such "users" of Delaware LLC law may be unaware of Delaware's default rules or lack the resources to competently tailor a governing agreement to contractually alter any undesirable aspects of the default rules. And, to the extent one believes that most of these unsophisticated business owners would prefer a regime in which fiduciary duties apply, adoption of Chief Justice Steele's interpretation of Delaware law could create undesired consequences.
But even if Chief Justice Steele's default rules would harm unsophisticated "mom and pop" businesses, as Callison and Vestal,[19] Kleinberger[20] and Cunningham[21] all suggest, note that in Delaware, a state that is largely a haven for attracting out-of-state alternative entity charters,[22] where the ratio of LLCs to actual residents will soon approach one-to-one,[23] it is unlikely that a significant percentage of Delaware's 550,238 LLCs fall into the "mom and pop" category. Thus, if Chief Justice Steele's interpretation of Delaware LLC and LP law is in fact problematic, the problem it creates affects only a small portion of the Delaware LLC and LP universe.

The Qualification Window for the 2019 British Summer Championships and Home Nation summer meets will run from 22 nd March – 27 th May 2019 (inclusive).
British Swimming will continue with the development introduced this year of publishing weekly rankings lists once the Qualifying Window opens. A final draft rankings list will then be published once the Window has closed. Looking ahead to the 2020 Qualification Window, following feedback from the competitive swimming community, meet organisers should note that there is the desire to close the Window earlier to both limit the cross over with the school examination period and allow a for a longer run in (and training block) post the close of the Window to the end of season domestic meets.


It was a jam-packed two days at the Apps World conference in London. Now in its third year, Apps World has grown to be one of the leading global multi-platform events in the mobile industry, and this year saw more than five thousand people come through its doors.
The LeadBolt team had a fruitful two days where we got to chat to hundreds of app developers and show off some of the exiting developments we have made recently including our new ad formats.
It was great to meet so many of our existing publishers and put faces to the names. We also established many valuable new partnerships and alliances which we hope will deliver benefit all our network partners. If you didn't make it this time around or missed our stand, I am sure we will see you at the next Apps World venue very soon.

The Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund Limited (BAF), through BSAAF Management Pty Ltd (the Manager), invests in a diversified portfolio of Alternative Assets managed by Blue Sky Entities. Currently these asset classes include Real Assets, Private Equity, Private Real Estate and Hedge Funds.
Under the Company's investment mandate, each asset class must represent no more than 40% of the total value of the Company's assets. The fund raised $61 million of which only about $50 million has been invested so far – a very interesting way of accessing alternative investments through a listed vehicle.

This grant is now closed.
The Encephalitis Society encourages invitations from academic institutions to host the 2019 Encephalitis Society PhD Fellowship. Encephalitis Society fellowships enable outstanding graduates to obtain a postgraduate PhD research qualification, giving them the required skills to ultimately undertake an independent career in encephalitis research.
This Fellowship will be awarded to an academic partner that can demonstrate past excellence in neurological research related to encephalitis, and which currently has an active neurological research programme. Their research strategy must be based on similar principles to the Encephalitis Society Research Strategy.
The host institution will also show a strong track record in providing appropriate supervision, mentorship and a research training programme suitable for equipping the fellow for a career in encephalitis research, and to enable them to obtain a post-graduate qualification.
The theme for 2019 is Recovery and Rehabilitation.
Research into the recovery and rehabilitation of patients who have had encephalitis has been limited and we still know little about patient recovery and rehabilitation. Whilst we are willing to consider research in all areas relating to recovery and rehabilitation, we are especially keen to support work on neuropsychological, behavioral and cognitive outcomes. Specifically there has been little detailed research on the neuropsychological outcomes of encephalitis in adults and children and how early outcomes relate to longer term sequelae and quality of life.
The Encephalitis Society expects to support a three year full time Fellowship, or a part-time Fellowship operating on a pro-rata basis but the minimum working hours would be equivalent to 0.6 WTE.
The Encephalitis Society expects to pay up to 50% of the full costs of a UK/EU PhD Studentship, including Fees, Stipend and Consumables, and up to a maximum of £12,500 per year in total.
The postgraduate fellowships will be awarded to a higher education institution on the recommendation of a panel made up of members of the Encephalitis Society's Scientific Advisory Panel using a system of expert peer review. The next awards will be made in April 2019. In addition, the Encephalitis Society expects to be involved in the subsequent award of the fellowship by the institution, with representation on the interview panel.
Applications also need to be approved by our board of trustees.
It is envisaged the fellowship will commence in April 2019.
5pm on Monday 31st December 2018.
This scheme is open to higher education institutions worldwide.
The need for the proposed fellowship, and how it fits with the Encephalitis Society strategic research aims.
Brief plans for the organisation of the first year and general management of the programme.
Why your institution is well placed to deliver the fellowship.
The post-graduate training environment in your institution.
Organisation and supervision of the fellowship.
The full CV of the proposed Director and Deputy/Co-Director. CV must include publications, information on career progression of PhD students supervised to date and brief details of external funding held.
A list/table of the names of potential supervisors for PhD projects, indicating their position and total number of PhD students supervised to completion to date.
The exact amount of money you will provide and also where are the money coming from.
The other fellowships you are applying for at the same time.
Dr Ava Easton, Chief Executive, Encephalitis Society, 32 Castlegate, Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17 7DT.
Shortlisted institutions may be visited by the Encephalitis Society as part of the decision making process.
This project summary presents findings from a research project into the after effects and social consequences of encephalitis.

Q: java abstract methode call all in subclasses I would like to call an abstract method in each subclass. Here is an example:
public abstract class ControllerAbs implements UiListener

/**
 * implements from ui listener. when it's called, then must the ui be updated
 */
@Override
public synchronized void Update() {
    // for change ui elements from another no fx-thread
    // see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21674152/timer-error-java-lang-illegalstateexception
    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            UiUpdate();
        }
    });
}

/**
 * update ui in subcontroller
 */
protected abstract void UiUpdate();

}
Now, I extend my subclass with the abstract method:
@Override
protected void UiUpdate() {
    // update ui
}

But when I have more than one subclass that will extend from controllerabs, only the first subclass will be updated. What is wrong?
I want a method that will be called in each subclass.
Best regards,
sandro

A: Use the keyword super in order to call the method for the supclass defined. E.g. something like the following:
public class SubClass1 extends ControllerAbs {
   @Override
   protected void UiUpdate() {
       // Update for Subclass 1
   }

}

public class SubClass2 extends SubClass1 {
   @Override
   protected void UiUpdate() {
       // Update for Subclass 2
       super.UiUpdate(); // update in the upper subclass
   }

}

Using this keyword, you can refer to the object that is higher in the hierarchy and call its implementation of the method.

A: I create a static list of controllers
by create a new controller or subcontroller add it to the list.
    public class ControllerAbs() implements UiListener {
    private static ArrayList<ControllerAbs> controllers;

    // code

    protected registerUiUpdateListener(ControllerAbs controller) {
        controllers.add(controller);
    }

    /**
     * implements from ui listener. when it's called, then must the ui be updated
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized void Update() {
        // for change ui elements from another no fx-thread
        // see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21674152/timer-error-java-lang-illegalstateexception
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                for (ControllerAbs controller : controllers) {
                controller.uiUpdate(); // update ui in controller
            }
        });
    }

    /**
     * update ui in subcontroller
     */
    protected abstract void uiUpdate();
}

    public class SubClass1 extends ControllerAbs {
        public SubClass1() {
            registerUiUpdateListener(this); // add to list
        }

        @Override
        protected void uiUpdate() {
            // lblTest.setText(testVariable);
        }
    }

    public class SubClass2 extends ControllerAbs {
        public SubClass2() {
            registerUiUpdateListener(this); // add to list
        }

        @Override
        protected void uiUpdate() {
            // lblTest.setText(testVariable);
        }
    }

Spinal Complications Resulting from Auto Injuries
By Dr. Alex Jimenez D.C.,C.C.S.T	5,354
Automobile accidents are one of the principal causes of spine complications and are responsible for more than 40 percent of spinal injuries every year, according to the Mayo Clinic. While the best possible precautions can be taken to avoid tissue damage or injury in the case of an auto collision, car accidents can be unpredictable and may not always be prevented, but knowing the right information can help an individual recognize a possible injury as well as be aware of the next steps to take for recovery.
The spine is a complex structure consisting of bone, muscle, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels and nerves. Although its capable of supporting the whole weight of your body in order to promote a proper balance, the spine can also be considered to be a delicate structure. The spine is not built to withstand the impact of a car accident and unfortunately, neck and back injuries are common during car accidents. The force of the impact causes strain on the ligaments and muscles in the back, and the facet joints endure the majority of the brunt from the collision. This can lead to several injuries including, whiplash, disc herniation, compression fractures, and spondylolisthesis.
Whiplash type injuries occur more frequently during rear-end collisions as the force from the impact jolts the head and neck in a back-and-forth motion in any direction. Symptoms of whiplash usually appear within 24 hours of the accident and may include symptoms of pain, stiffness on the neck, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue. In rare cases, an individual with whiplash-associated disorders may also experience difficulty concentrating, memory problems, ringing in the ears, difficulty sleeping, and irritability.
Because the discs absorb a large part of the impact to the spine, a herniated disc is a possible complication that can occur during an auto accident. A disc is herniated when its soft center pushes through a small crack in the disc's exterior, causing irritation around the nerves. Several people may experience no symptoms from a herniated disc while others may commonly experience symptoms of arm or leg pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness depending on the location of the herniated disc.
Compression fractures commonly occur in the thoracic, or middle, and lumbar, or lower, regions of the spine during an auto accident. As a result of the force from the impact, the upper body may be thrown forward while the lower body remains in place by a seatbelt, causing the vertebrae to pull apart. Spinal fractures can occasionally result in spinal cord injuries due to the broken vertebrae moving out of place. The main symptom of a spinal fracture includes moderate to severe back pain that can worsen through movement and those with spinal cord injuries may experience symptoms of tingling, numbness, weakness, and loss of bladder or bowel control.
Spondylolisthesis occurs when the vertebra moves out of place as a result of a stress fracture on the bone. The abnormal placement of the bone can cause compression on the nerves or spinal canal, causing symptoms of pain, numbness, and/or weakness in the buttock or leg which can lead to walking complications. In severe cases, spondylolisthesis can cause loss of bladder or bower control. Many times, individuals may experience no symptoms from the condition until several years' post-injury.
After being involved in an automobile accident, it can be difficult to determine the presence of neck or back pain as a simple muscle strain or a more serious injury. It's important to seek immediate medical attention to properly diagnose any possible spinal damage. A chiropractor specializes on musculoskeletal injuries involving the spine as well as other structures of the body. A doctor of chiropractic, or DC, can diagnose an individual for the underlying cause of pain and other symptoms as some symptoms may suggest that medical help is needed.
