Viking Torgil Cabins
Carolyn Spencer Brown
Cruise Critic Contributor
On Viking Torgil, there are 11 Veranda Suites, 24 Veranda Staterooms, 2 French Balcony Staterooms and 16 Standard Staterooms. Every cabin comes with a view; there isn't a single interior cabin to be found onboard.
Inside, the rooms are impeccably designed and customized for convenience (with a couple exceptions, noted later). Like most cabins on riverboats, they're smaller than their big-ship brethren, ranging from 135 square feet in the tiniest staterooms to 205 square feet for those in the verandah (balcony) category. Light wooden cabinetry, fluffy white duvets, faux suede headboards, and blue and red accents create a light, airy and comfortable sleeping environment. Each queen-sized bed can be reconfigured into two twins.
Cabins on Middle and Upper Decks have real balconies, a wonderful and highly touted addition that allows you to take in the views gliding past in virtual privacy. Though these verandahs are not as wide as those you'll find on oceangoing ships, the ones on the baby Longships are about the same size as you'd find on the larger river vessels. There's still room on each for two straight-backed mesh outdoor chairs and a tiny wooden table. Longship balconies add square footage to typically compact river cabins (205 square feet each), a notable bonus when many river ship staterooms offer, at best, sliding-glass "French balconies."
Other options on the Middle and Upper decks are cabins with the aforementioned French balconies -- floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors you can open for breezes. These pseudo-balconies do the trick of making the cabins feel larger than they actually are.
The most value-priced cabins (150 square feet each) on the waterline of Main Deck have views via high, rectangular portholes, and they're slightly bigger than the French balcony cabins. For those seeking more space, Veranda Suites (275 square feet apiece) on the Upper and Middle decks have small living rooms with sofas, desks and balconies, as well as separate bedrooms with vanities and French balconies.
Throughout all cabins, bathrooms feature rounded sinks and snug, glass shower cubes (larger in the suites). Passengers do complain about the showers in non-suite cabins, as they're narrow and tapered at the end, with not much in the way of elbow room. Despite a waterproof seal at the bottom of the glass door, the size of the facility makes it difficult to avoid puddles on the bathroom floor.
Storage space in most cabins includes a full-length, sliding-door closet with room for hanging clothes on one side and shelves and a cabinet (with a safe) on the other. Drawers beneath the large vanity are small and narrow, but there's enough room for two people packing casual attire, and there's extra room under the bed for suitcases. The Veranda Suites have walk-in closets.
Great care seems to have gone into cabin lighting, which includes dimmers, bedside controls and mirrored vanities -- all much appreciated by passengers. There are two American (110 volt) and two European (220 volt) outlets in addition to one European outlet devoted to charging the QuietVox headsets.
Every cabin is equipped with a safe and a mini-fridge (with notches in the fridge shelving that make it possible to chill a bottle of wine upright), as well as a handheld hair dryer. Bath products are L'Occitane. Bathrobes are available on request.
Large 40-inch Sony HD flat-screen TVs serve up several channels on an interactive menu, including CNN, BBC, CNBC, Fox, ESPN, National Geographic Channel, MGM and Sky. There's also a good variety of complimentary movies on demand, including new releases, classics, and travel and historical documentaries by Rick Steves, A&E and the History Channel. In another area of the menu, the TVs list ship information, including names of every member of the crew, and show feeds from bow and lounge cameras. There are also preprogrammed music channels, but, for a more personalized selection, plug your iPod into the available port that's connected to the integrated Bose surround-sound system.
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship, including in cabins. It was fastest in the lounge (both inside and out).
Fresh fruit and bottled water are also complimentary and provided in all cabins daily. There are ice buckets in each cabin, but you must fill them yourself from an ice machine located in the hallway on each deck.

Newt Gingrich's Awkward Prom Photos
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich launched his presidential exploratory effort yesterday, joining a GOP field that also includes pizza mogul Herman Cain and former one-term Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer. Because it's 2011, the media coverage of his announcement focused on his new website, and more specifically, its very obvious use of a stock photo to make it seem as if Gingrich and his wife, Callista, were standing in front of an adoring—and multi-cultural—flag-waving crowd (see relevant Tumblr here). As the Wall Street Journal noted, the photo is called "Large Crowd of People Holding Stars and Stripes Flags," and had previously been used by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.
But what about the photo of Newt and Callista that was photo-shopped on top of the cheering throng? We tracked down the original on Gingrich Productions. It was from a photo shoot for his Citizens United-funded documentary about radical Islam, America at Risk—and there are plenty of others. Here's one, which we'll call "Unhappy Couple Standing in Front of Saplings."

Before you start packing for a big move, you need to get your house and things in order. Here are three things that you should do around your home before you start packing.
Before you start packing, you need to clean your house. You don't need to deep clean your house; that will be easier to do once everything is packed up and moved out. However, starting with everything clean and in place will help you work through each room and pack more efficiently.
Go through each room and put everything back where it belongs and in the correct place. Wipe down all the surfaces in each room so that you have clean areas to work in. Clean the floor so you can sit on it and pack.
Don't pack up the clutter in each room of your house. If you have letters, bills, magazines and other clutter lying around, go through it. Work room by room and just focus on throwing away the items that are cluttering up each room.
If you find an item that you actually want to keep, put it where it belongs so it can be packed up in the correct box. Don't move clutter from your old home to your new home.
Before you start packing, give yourself a set amount of time to go through all the items in each room in your house. Decide what items you want to keep, what items you want to throw away, and what you want to donate. Do not take items that you have not used for months or years to your new home. Use this opportunity to free your life and your cupboards from unnecessary items.
In order to speed up the process of going through things, bring in a "donate" and "throw away" box with you into each room. Then, set a timer and get to work. For a small room, like a guest bathroom, give yourself about five minutes to go through the room. Setting a timer will help keep you on-task and prevent you from getting off track.
For larger rooms that have more stuff in them, such as your bedroom or kitchen, give yourself at least an hour to sort through your belongings.
If you have a small house, you could go through all your rooms in an evening. If you have a larger house, you may need a few evenings to complete this task.
Before you start to pack up your home, clean all the rooms, get rid of the clutter and go through everything. Reducing the things that you need to take with you will ultimately make the packing process go much quicker once you get started, and it will save you from having to go through things after you move into your new home. For more help with moving & storage, contact a moving company near you.

Zoo tries to pass off dog as African lion — guess what gave it away
Posted 8:48 PM, August 15, 2013, by Q13 FOX News Staff, Updated at 08:50PM, August 15, 2013
A zoo in China is under fire for putting a dog in a cage instead of a lion. According to a local newspaper, the People's Park Zoo disguised a Tibetan mastiff and placed it in an empty African lion cage.
A Tibetan mastiff (photo: http://www.dogspot.in)
The cover was blown when a little boy noticed the ferocious lion was barking.
The zoo in the People's Park of Luohe, in the central province of Henan, reportedly replaced its lion with a Tibetan mastiff — a large and long-haired breed of dog, according to the state-run Beijing Youth Daily.
The newspaper said a customer named Liu wanted to show her son the different sounds animals made, when the boy pointed out the lion was barking.
"The zoo is absolutely cheating us," Liu told the paper.
Xuven
I love it ……lol..lol…lol
John Fuller
Every Zoo that I've ever been to strongly promotes and markets Evolution, so maybe this large chow chow was starting to evolve into a lion.
It looks nothing like a lion. How sheltered are these people? lol
haha that is a little nuts. These dogs come in different colors though, some could look more like a lion than others (especially with a strategic hair cut). Still… wow.. I mean, I guess since their internet is censored? Maybe? I don't know.. trying to think of plausible excuses haha.
http://www.google.com/imgres?client=firefox-a&amp…
perhaps if the Chinese…OPEN THEIR EYES….they could plainly see it was a dog!…

An introduction to Motown Records, to mark its 60th anniversary.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the release of their debut album 'Hope Is Important', we present an introduction to Scottish indie cult heroes Idlewild, featuring discography and Spotify playlist.
The first of a regular series profiling women in rock, indie and pop, we look at Amanda F***ing Palmer and what makes her so cool.


Moments ago the Bureau of Lies Labor Statistics, the BLS, released their March 2018 Non-farm Payrolls, otherwise known as the jobs report.
Despite the Aluminum Tariffs, Aluminum prices are DOWN 4%. People are surprised, I'm not! Lots of money coming into U.S. coffers and Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!
President Trump will surely be disappointed with this headline number.
Fifteen minutes post-jobs report, and we are still in the knee-jerk phase.
Recall that initially, there can be reactions and wild swings in either direction or in both directions.
It take a moment for the fingers at the ready to decide how many contracts they have to feed into the gold & silver "markets" to keep price suppressed.
The bottom line is this: If the jobs number is a huge miss, then apparently everything is not as awesome as it seems with the economy. This helps give the Fed an "out" to hold rates steady through June, because it is a low enough number of jobs created to create some doubt as far as how well the economy is doing.
Said differently, this jobs report is only one data point, but it is an important one, because it lays the foundation for other lousy data points to come in, and this gives the Fed reason to pause all the way until September.
Ultimately, this would be good for gold, even in the eyes of the mainstream, but they will never admit that so they'll just ignore it.
Why is it good for gold? Because they have everybody convinced that rate hikes are bad for gold, so if rate hikes can be put on hold, and the data is now just starting to come out to gradually introduce that narrative, then the flip side would be that a pause is good for gold.
When it comes to not hiking the real interest rate is already negative, meaning the amount of fiat currency people earn on their interest bearing accounts is less than the stated inflation (which is understated anyway), so the argument goes like this: Gold doesn't pay any interest, but keeping up with inflation is better than negative interest rates.
So not hiking is good for gold.
Actually, hiking is good for gold too, as we have seen with gold's impressive rise in price since bottoming in December of 2015, precisely when the Fed started their latest 'rate hiking cycle'.
So how do you know that precious metals price suppression is real?
Because no matter what, the fundamentals are good for gold (and silver), so for something to be going down in price when every indicatior says it's should be going up in price, then it must be going down for un-natural reasons – a la market manipulation.
But back to the Jobs Report.
There was a reason for the miss however: as Goldman warned yesterday, inclement weather kept many away from their jobs; in fact, according to the BLS 159K Americans were unable to work due to weather.
Going into today's payroll number, the whisper number was for a substantial miss because as Deutsche Bank noted this morning," consensus estimate has overestimated the initial March nonfarm payrolls print in four of the last five years by an average of 62k." Well, that almost exactly how much the consensus estimate of 185K was missed by, because in March, the BLS reported that only 103K jobs were added, a 3 sigma miss to consensus, and roughly 66% drop from February's upward revised 320K.
The print, as noted, was a 3-sigma miss to consensus.
However, while few the payrolls number may have been a miss following some major prior revisions (January was revised down from +239,000 to +176,000, February was revised up from +313,000 to +326,000, for a net 50,000 fewer jobs than previously reported), what markets really cared about was the hourly earnings, which at 0.3% M/M and 2.7% came precisely in line as expected, and above the 0.1% and 2.6% in February, respectively.
There was some disappointment in the unemployment rate, which remained unchanged at 4.1%, missing expectations of a drop to 4.0%.
Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 103,000 in March, following a large gain in February (+326,000). In March, employment grew in manufacturing, health care, and mining.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for January was revised down from +239,000 to +176,000, and the change for February was revised up from +313,000 to +326,000. With these revisions, employment gains in January and February combined were 50,000 less than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.) After revisions, job gains have averaged 202,000 over the last 3 months.
In March, employment in manufacturing rose by 22,000, with all of the gain in the durable goods component. Employment in fabricated metal products increased over the month (+9,000). Over the year, manufacturing has added 232,000 jobs; the durable goods component accounted for about three-fourths of the jobs added.
In March, health care added 22,000 jobs, about in line with its average monthly gain over the prior 12 months. Employment continued to trend up over the month in ambulatory health care services (+16,000) and hospitals (+10,000).
Employment in professional and business services continued to trend up in March (+33,000) and has risen by 502,000 over the year.
Retail trade employment changed little in March (-4,000), after increasing by 47,000 in February. In March, employment declined by 13,000 in general merchandise stores, offsetting a gain of the same size in February. Over the year, employment in retail trade has shown little net change.
In March, employment in construction also changed little (-15,000), following a large gain in February (+65,000).
Employment changed little over the month in other major industries, including wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing, information, financial activities, leisure and hospitality, and government.
The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 34.5 hours in March. In manufacturing, the workweek edged down by 0.1 hour to 40.9 hours; overtime edged down by 0.1 hour to 3.6 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged down by 0.1 hour to 33.7 hours.
And last, but certainly not least, the average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 8 cents to $26.82. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by 71 cents, or 2.7 percent. Average hourly earnings for private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 4 cents to $22.42 in March.

The Cleveland State University Poetry Center and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards are partnering to address the need for diversity and community engagement in the field of literary publishing. The two organizations have created a new writing and publishing fellowship that will allow creative writing post-graduates to develop a comprehensive understanding of the industry while also initiating a literary outreach project in Cleveland.
The Anisfield-Wolf Fellowship in Writing and Publishing, made possible by a $74,300 grant from the Cleveland Foundation, will fund the inaugural two-year fellowship at the CSU Poetry Center, a nationally recognized literary press that publishes innovative poetry, prose, and translations. Fellows will have the opportunity to edit contemporary literature, enhance community engagement opportunities for the Center, mentor MFA students, and assist with daily publishing operations.
CSU is currently interviewing candidates for the inaugural fellow, who will begin in the fall of 2018. Additional professional development opportunities for the fellow will include participation in Cleveland Book Week and public readings of their work for the Cleveland literary community.
This fellowship is named for and supported by the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, which honor literature that promotes equity and social justice and are administered through the Cleveland Foundation.
The Cleveland State University Poetry Center, established in 1962, is a national nonprofit independent press under the auspices of the Department of English. It has published nearly 200 collections of contemporary poetry and prose by established and emerging authors, while also serving as a center for engaged learning in creative writing, publishing and literary promotion for CSU students.

I was not born a naturally gifted athlete nor was I blessed with the genetic make up of a six pack. I have struggled with body image and acceptance for a long as I can remember. I was always active and grew up dancing and cheerleading, but never looked the part.
In 2011 I discovered CrossFit It refined beauty for me and what it meant to be 'skinny'. Quickly I found myself more focused on the weight I added to the barbell vs the weight that appeared on the scale. My confidence grew but I was never truly satisfied nor did I feel that my body composition was a reflection of the work I put in at the gym.
I have lived and learned and failed more times then I can count. I have had to diligently work for every pound lost on the scale and gained on the barbell. I patiently navigated through progressions to get my first pull up, handstand push up and bar muscle up. And now I am lucky enough to Coach athletes through these same progressions. I want to get YOU on that path to success and help you achieve your goals– and just maybe we'll get you some PRs of your own along the way!

Suazo Baby releases "Pa' que mame" inspired by reggaeton classics
11 April 2021 Rosmery MARTINEZ DE LOS SANTOS and Translation : Évelyne Chaville
Suazo Baby with Bulova and Nino Freestyle
The new face of the urban genre, Puerto Rican Suazo Baby, presents his new single "Pa' que mame", a catching track with the danceable and unmistakable rhythm of dembow, in collaboration with Bulova and Nino Freestyle, two of the most prominent urban artists in the country.
Suazo Baby, has sought to catapult dembow into the new generations and he succeeds with this track that is not only fresh and modern, but includes elements that people can identify and connect with through dance. Released under The Baby Boys Inc./Top Brother Music label, the track is now available on all digital music platforms.
Under the production of Gerald G and Claudio Ortiz, the song composed by the artists themselves, is a danceable and tropical song with a sound that the Boricua had not explored before.
"I am sure that the public will appropriate this song and they will enjoy it, I have taken sounds from songs that have influenced me as an artist and I have mixed them with modern sounds, a mix that invites to dance and have fun", said Suazo Baby.
Throughout the track, there is an allusion to one of Don Omar's most iconic songs "Salió el sol", which represents the influence of old school artists on the new generations. Similarly, at the beginning of the song he surprises his fans by using a fragment of the famous series "El Señor de los cielos", one of the young artist's favourites.
The music video for the song was directed by René Capellan and filmed in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic. The video clip shows the artists enjoying a day at the beach while performing the song.
Suazo Baby also recently released the song "Chapeo Chapeo" with one of the top dembow leaders in the Dominican Republic, Chimbala, seeking to make his music conquer the global market. With a refreshing, youthful and summery sound, the track was chosen by fitness giant Zumba® as a global priority for the month of March. This song definitely helped to take Suazo Baby's career to another level.

Charter to the World Series
January 26, 2023 April 19, 2021 by prestigeboardingkennel
It is played since 1903. The New York Yankees have won it twenty seven times, along with the Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers and four other teams will still be looking for their first win. What is it? It's the World Series and it is a highlight for sports enthusiasts each fall.
The World Series won't encompass the earth, because it's a baseball series pitting whoever wins the American League against whoever wins the National League. In fact, games within the big series only have been played outside the United States twice, in 1992 and 1993 once the Toronto Blue Jays were portion of the big show. And in reality, it isn't named after the globe as within the planet we survive, but alternatively named from a newspaper that had been popular back inside day.
No you can predict which teams will play inside World Series, so no one knows which stadiums during which cities the games is going to be played in, if your home team isn't area of the show, you will need to travel to watch whoever is playing battle against eachother and that's where chartering a jet is available in.
It's likely less expensive than you imagine and it also ensures you have a very lot less hassle and bother after you charter a jet in lieu of going commercial. Gone would be the lines for security plus the hustle and bustle of a big and busy airport. Gone will be the cramped quarters and noisy atmosphere of the crowded and hot commercial airline. Instead, it is possible to charter to whichever city you wish inside the comfort of seats with lots of leg, head, elbow and shoulder room which often can also be configured however you want. Want to take just all your family members with you or maybe you're developing a guy's weekend that has a bigger party? No worries, a charter can accommodate everyone and greatest of all you understand your luggage will arrive along at your destination.
When the Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016, they ended a stunning 108 year drought, giving by far the most years with out a win title for the Cleveland Indians who's total sits at 68. You've been flying commercial for your life, isn't it time you ended your drought and tried all signs charter?
We are not aware of who will contest another World Series, but perform know addressing those cities with a charter jet would be the way to go!

However, the subpoenas are not aimed at Trump himself or the White House. Instead, the demand for documents has been made on other witnesses, who will have to release their communications with or about ten people. Trump's on that list, as are Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, both of whom got indicted for crimes entirely unrelated to campaign issues. Some of the other names reflect obvious interest, such as Steve Bannon, Carter Page, and Roger Stone. Others seem like a reach, such as former bodyguard Keith Schiller and now-departing comms director Hope Hicks.
One in particular might pose some potential issues for both Trump and Mueller — Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, whose advice to Trump would normally be covered by attorney-client privilege. That's not true of his communication with other figures in the case, however, to whom these subpoenas have been issued. Did the odd arrangement with Stormy Daniels, in which Cohen claims to have paid her $130,000 out of his own pocket over an alleged affair with Trump, trigger more than curiosity in the special counsel office? Or was he already on Mueller's radar? Probably a little of both.
However, there are a couple of notable names missing here, too. Both Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos have had to take plea deals in Mueller's probe and supposedly are cooperating on the collusion probe, but neither NBC nor Axios report that they're among the subjects for subpoenaed documentation. Does that suggest that they're dry holes in the collusion probe? For that matter, where are names like Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner, who are also supposedly linchpins of this theory?
Investigators have already conducted interviews with significant potential witnesses, so this could be a chance to see if any of them can be impeached and then flipped. Alternatively, it may also mean that Mueller and his team are wrapping things up and want to make sure they have everything relevant to the investigation before reaching conclusions. The missing names off this list make it seem more like the latter than the former, especially since no evidence has yet emerged that there was any collusion with Russians, and since the inner-circle figures assumed to be involved in such theoretical connections aren't named on this list.


Thank you for looking at my profile. I have had a few shoots and have totally enjoyed every moment. I enjoy expressing myself through the art of photography and I look forward to doing as much work as possible.

Joomla is one of the CMSs that supports the e-commerce and allow their users to use the platform with ease. How Joomla supports e-commerce is quite clear in that it helps their users in managing inventory rather than giving them the headache of maintaining the multiple platforms simultaneously.
Users can edit and restructure the content of the website with the help of Joomla. It is very easy to modify because the process is a simple program rather than a complex coding that is not possible for the non-technical to edit. Joomla has also added familiarities that help people to work more on the creative side rather than the usual online presence. There are also no worries about coding and learning commands.

One aspect of divorce that each party must analyze is the cost. A Florida divorce can vary in the expense and one can expect that a more contentious divorce will in turn cost more. Thus with extended litigation comes extended legal fees and costs. In Florida however, one spouse may be held responsible for some or all of the attorney fees and costs incurred on behalf of their spouse.
Florida family law provides that a spouse may be entitled to a contribution toward their attorney fees in costs if they can establish the need and ability factors. Need and ability is a test whereby the spouse seeking fees must establish two elements. First, a party must establish that they have a need for their attorneys fees and costs to be paid by their spouse as they cannot afford their own litigation expenses. Second, a party must establish that their spouse has the financial ability to pay their attorney fees and costs. This statutory provision is an attempt by the legislature to ensure that each party has an equal opportunity to seek the representation of a Tampa family law attorney.
Each party should take caution not to oversimplify the need and ability analysis and therefore should seek the advice of a family law attorney. Too often a party may overlook other elements regarding the need and ability factors and therefore have an unrealistic expectation that the court will provide them an attorneys fee award. It is highly recommended that each party work with their divorce attorney in order to analyze all factors of the expense of divorce and to create goals in hopes of reaching an expedited resolution all while keeping in mind that although Florida divorce statues provide for a reimbursement of attorney fees and cost it is often a challenge to receive such an award from the court.

Following Up With Editors About Invoices Wastes Everyone's Time
by Eli Enis
Suppressing my economic insecurities is part of my daily routine as a full-time freelance journalist. It can be a profession with more caveats than tangible benefits, but the most brutal part of earning a living by writing articles is the actual process of getting paid.
I sell a variety of editors story ideas, I write those stories, I invoice for those stories, and then through some Rube Goldberg process, I'm eventually paid for those stories. Notice how that trajectory was all very straightforward up until the last part? Notice how that last part is the part that's essential to my survival under the current economic order? Yeah, me too.
It's no secret among freelancers that getting paid $200 for an article on, like, the secret marxist messages in Cardi B's lyrics is a labyrinthian operation. The accounting department at major outlets are completely separate entities from the editorial wing. And since freelancers like myself don't work at these places, we don't have the same access to accounting personnel as staff members do. In fact, going from what editors have told me over the years, even they are often relegated to navigating an inane bureaucracy in order to file invoices for their writers. And then checking in on the timeframe for when those payments should end up in writer's bank accounts can be an even more difficult affair.
"I spent years as a freelancer chasing down editors myself," says Ethan Fixell, U.S. Executive Director at Kerrang!. "So throughout my entire career, I have always felt for writers who might not have gotten paid on time due to clerical error, computer glitch, financial restriction, post office fail, or whatever the case may be. If anything, rather than feeling annoyed, I feel embarrassed if a payment hasn't made it to a writer in time for any reason. Especially because I recognize that for most freelancers, these individual checks from different publications add up to their very livelihood."
Delays, miscommunications between payroll and editorial, vague instructions on each publication's differing invoice systems, all manifests into this stressful feeling of guilt and shame. I rely on these payments, but since I understand that it's often out of the editor's hands — and emailing the accounting departments directly results in either automated replies or some of the most lifeless, achingly slow correspondence I've ever engaged in — I'm always hesitant to "circle back" on when I should be paid.
I also don't really know these editors and all of our conversation is digital (void of tone and emotion), so it's sometimes hard to tell if an editor is annoyed when I politely (or somewhat curtly) follow up for the third time about the money. Even though I'm fully aware that this is literally my money, and I've done my part of the exchange and am now unquestionably entitled to proper, timely compensation. I worry that I'll be pegged as "difficult" or "needy," and that maybe the editor won't accept my next pitch because of it. There are fewer and fewer oases for the type of rock-oriented journalism I do, so leaving a bad taste in a publication's mouth is a visceral concern of mine.
Fixell is certainly not alone in his benevolent, experienced-based understanding of the payment procedure. But in my mind, the main frustration of waiting for the money is the pay date. Just knowing when the money is coming would solve so many of these issues. A system that pays writers as soon as the story goes live would be the ideal system for both the writer and the editor. It would alleviate all of that twisted guilt and shame of following up about invoices. Plus, imagine the serotonin boost from that double-whammy of Twitter action and, uh, money to pay the light bill with?

Feds indict former Shreveport city employee in $400K fraud
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — A federal grand jury in Louisiana has accused a former city worker and a second man of using city credit cards more than 3,800 times over two years to steal $400,000 worth of gasoline.
Former Shreveport public works employee Tory Deshawn Jackson, 41, and Jawaski L. Johnson, 30, were "encountered by law enforcement" pumping gas into a 500-gallon container early Oct. 16, according to the indictment handed up Wednesday.
According to the indictment, Jackson would use the fuel cards and associated ID numbers for bulk purchases at various gas stations, and Johnson would fill 500-gallon tanks which he had loaded onto a trailer. Johnson would sell the gas at a cut rate, dividing the proceeds with Jackson and other people, the indictment alleged.
Online court records accessed Thursday did not show an attorney who could speak for either man.
Each was charged with one count of conspiracy to use an unauthorized access device and nine counts of use of an unauthorized access device. Jackson was also charged with one count of aggravated identity theft.
The indictment alleges that they used three stolen Fuelman cards more than 3,800 times between Sept. 3, 2017 and Oct. 16, 2019, for more than $400,000 worth of fuel.
It lists nine charges, ranging from $139.28 to $255.77, to three cards on four days in May and October 2019. Three were the day the men were "encountered."
The conspiracy charge carries up to five years in prison, each fraud charge up to 10 years and a $250,000 fine, and the identity theft charge up to two years in prison.

A BBC Panorama investigation into Comic Relief has shown that the charity invests in tobacco, arms and alcohol, despite its 'holier-than-thou' ethical claims and telling the public that every penny it raises goes to the developing world.
The real issue here is not solely Comic Relief's hypocritical investment policy, but rather the close relationship between the charity and the BBC – something which Panorama or subsequent coverage of its investigation has failed to spotlight or explain.
Every year or so, the corporation clears its schedules for Comic Relief. This is an extraordinary facility and it has led to the charity raising the staggering sum of £909m. It has become so wealthy that it can afford salaries of £130,000+ for senior staff.
tackle the perceived threat of 'climate change'.
The BBC has worked assiduously behind the scenes over the years to support Comic Relief. An example of the cross-fertilisation and BBC cheerleading is that Lord Hastings, a former head of Corporate Social Responsibility at the BBC, was active for almost a decade in promoting the climate change agenda while sitting on the board of Comic Relief.
This rat's nests cross-over continues to this day. On screen, the BBC doggedly – with clear disregard for normal rules of impartiality – pursues its climate change agenda; at the same time Tim Davie, who was acting Director General of the BBC before Lord Hall assumed the role in the summer, and is now chief executive of BBC Worldwide, has recently been appointed chair of the Comic Relief Trustees. One of his colleagues is another veteran BBC senior executive, the former Controller of BBC1 Peter Salmon.

A beautiful, regal rendition of the Goddess Tara sculpted to be hung on your wall. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Goddess or female Bodhisattva Tara can be revered in many forms. This particular mask is adorned with a green ornate, stylized headress which makes you think that she is revealing herself as the Green Tara which is the most popular and common form. And yet, compared to other likenesses of Tara viewable on the online market place, there is something about this piece that conveys an aspect of the Mother Kali; perhaps it's the noble expression that gives us a hint of severity or seriousness that rises above human reproach or nonsense. A reminder that among the Hindu and Buddhist deities there are female Buddhas that guard and defend the divine world and their charges with a fieceness that gives no quarter to indulging foolishness.
Inviting this sculpture into your home or sanctuary is allowing this focus to hold a flame before the third eye, that recalls that the path of the bodhisattva or spiritual adept is a commitment not to be trifled with, nor is the steep climb to the summit of being a path for prima donnas. To know, to do, to dare and to be silent. all wrapped up in the single-eyed vision of the meditation deity Tara. Yours now to claim.

The Weirdness of Houseplant History
Houseplants are, in terms of human civilization, a fairly recent phenomenon. While small pockets of people from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures were known to have a few houseplants as decor, only the richest could afford it. After these civilizations fell, indoor plants were mostly restricted to foods or spices. For over a thousand years, houseplants didn't exist.
In the late-18th century, "flower tables" became a popular feature of the fashionable French salon. By then, naturalists had developed effective plant breeding; the bourgeois could now include fanciful arrangements of these crossbred and colorful flowers. Plant breeding also created hardier species that could survive the trauma of transplanting. Nurseries became a profitable business. While houseplants became slightly more common, they were still restricted to the wealthy, or near-wealthy.
FLOWER TABLE DEPICTED IN 18th CENTURY FRENCH SALON
Outdoor plants finally came indoors on a large scale in the late 19th and early 20th century, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. City populations exploded with the Second Industrial Revolution, and smaller homes and apartments became common. Factories jobs carried a higher health risk, but they also produced a larger paycheck. Households now had a very unusual problem: how do they project their wealth and social superiority…in such a small space?
Some displayed wealth with fine clothes and fashionable trappings. It is no accident department stores began at this time, since manufacturing not only produced the goods, but also generated the consumers needed to buy them. Clothes, food, recreation, family vacations, all these became suitable symbols of social status.
And houseplants, too.
By the late-1800s, plant breeding had produced an affordable array of tough houseplants, and middle class homes of factory workers could decorate their homes just like the upper class (a classic use of snob appeal). Improved glass manufacturing allowed for larger windows, and homemakers could create arrangements with an expanded variety of plants. Compact gardens popped up on balconies and window ledges. Terrariums and intricate plant stands added attractive accents to these small homes, particularly in drawing rooms or parlors.
VICTORIANS REALLY LOVED HOUSEPLANTS
These weren't just a subtle display of material wealth, but also moral "wealth" as well. The emulation of the upper class implied better education and etiquette. By the late-1800s, doctors had been able to prove the value of their work to society, so medical advice gained real authority. Houseplants became a subject of study during this medical boom, with some doctors believing houseplants could improve the sanitary conditions of the home and even ward off consumption (tuberculosis).
…plants and flowers, particularly when cultivated in-doors, are worthy to be placed in the foremost rank of sanitary agencies. The mass of evidence at hand relating to the subject in the author's opinion, established the complete efficacy of living plants as preventative measure in that deadly malady, consumption of the lungs…"
~House-plants as Sanitary Agents by J.M. Anders, MD, PhD
While many health trends in this era proved pointless, there is strong evidence to these beliefs. In 1989 and (again) in 2007, NASA scientists demonstrated plants could reduce dangerous or even deadly air toxicity by 87% in less than 24 hours, literally by absorbing toxins through the soil and breaking it down to harmless molecules or elements.
Houseplants fell out of favor (again) in the 1920s, mostly as a counter-punch to the moral and social rigidity of Victorian and Edwardian culture. Worldwide economic panic and the horrors of war had worn away the appeal of Victorian posturing.
If you're enjoying this story, check out Mysteries of the Midwest, a collection of our most popular stories out of America's Heartland, available on Amazon now in paperback and e-book.
After World War II, indoor plants finally received a permanent place in American and European homes. Citizens had grown victory gardens during both World Wars. After World War II's end, many continued them in the form of landscaping. People now had more money and more time (the 40-hour workweek became standard), and homeowners transformed these newfound resources into landscaping and neatly-trimmed lawns.
The cultural attitudes of the Victorian era remain firm today, despite advances in technology and our awareness of mowing's environmental impact. An unkempt lawn and dead houseplants are seen as laziness, bad character, poor etiquette…or, in other words, moral corruption. It's a judgment that is both universal and a little ridiculous, but it didn't come from contemporary culture or even that of our parents'. It's a moral judgment of our great-grandparents (or earlier).
In other words, 100+ years ago, our relatives got spanked so hard, our butts still carry the handprint today. Metaphorically.

In the US, when is fair use a defense to copyright infringement?
What is fair use in the US? When would it be a successful defense to copyright infringement?
united-states copyright fair-use
An affirmative defense
In the US, fair use (17 USC §107) "is an affirmative defense" (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. 510 U.S. 569 (1994)).
It need not be raised unless the plaintiff establishes that the defendant's activity would otherwise be infringing. When fair use is raised as a defense, the burden is on the defendant to prove the elements of fair use.
A four-factor balancing test
Here is the text of 17 USC 107:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
"Congress meant §107 to restate the present judicial doctrine of fair use, not to change, narrow, or enlarge it in any way and intended that courts continue the common-law tradition of fair use adjudication." (Campbell, quoting from H. R. Rep. No. 94-1476).
Factor 1: Purpose and character of use
The statute explicitly lists several purposes which would weigh in favor of a finding of fair use: criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research. However, that list is only illustrative, not exhaustive. Commercial use weighs against fair use. Nonprofit use weighs in favor of fair use. Parody is another purpose which greatly affects the analysis, especially as it interacts with factor 4.
Factor 2: The nature of the copyrighted work
"[T]he scope of fair use is generally broader when the source of borrowed expression is a factual or historical work" (Campbell).
"[I]nformational works, such as news reports, that readily lend themselves to productive use by others, are less protected than creative works of entertainment." (Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, 464 U.S. 417 (1984))
Factor 3: Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
"The extent of permissible copying varies with the purpose and character of the use." (Campbell) For example, full reproduction of an entire work was allowed in Sony. However, in Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises, 471 U.S. 539 (1985), taking just 300 words from a 7,500 word excerpt of President Ford's memoirs was not found to be fair use because it took the "heart of the book". The amount and substantiality of the taking is judged with respect to the original work. How much of the original was taken? "A taking may not be excused merely because it is insubstantial with respect to the infringing work. As Judge Learned Hand cogently remarked, 'no plagiarist can excuse the wrong by showing how much of his work he did not pirate.'" (Harper & Row)
Factor 4: Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
If the use new work takes the place of the original, thereby decreasing its market or value, that weighs against a finding of fair use. However, parody or criticism, simply by decreasing the value of the work it is critical of, does not suffer the same fate. "The market for potential derivative uses includes only those that creators of original works would in general develop or license others to develop. [...] [T]he law recognizes no derivative market for critical works." (Campbell) Parody and criticism might decrease the value of the original, not by taking its place, but rather, by saying something negative about it. Protection of that type of speech is one of the goals of the fair use defense.
Transformativeness
The four factors are not to be "treated in isolation, one from another." "All are to be explored, and the results weighed together, in light of the purposes of copyright." (Campbell)
However, the court recognizes that "[t]he central purpose of this investigation is to see, in Justice Story's words, whether the new work merely supersedes the objects of the original creation", "to what extent the new work is transformative". "[T]he more transformative the new work, the less will be the significance of other factors, like commercialism, that may weigh against a finding of fair use." (Campbell)
Case-by-case analysis
"The task is not to be simplified with bright-line rules, for the statute, like the doctrine it recognizes, calls for case-by-case analysis." (Campbell)
In general, it is not possible know ahead of time whether a fair use defense would be successful in a particular case.
Example cases
Perhaps the best way to learn how the courts apply these four factors is to look at example cases. The US Copyright Office hosts a Fair Use Case Index that lets you browse by subject matter and jurisdiction. Stanford hosts a smaller collection of examples.
Under factor 2 you mention "informational work", such as news reports. Where does science, medicine, and academia fit in here? For example, conferences are given on these topics, and presenters readily give that information to the audience, which in turn teaches/tells it to many others. A similar way is the publishing of papers. In classrooms, the information may even be quite old too. To what extent is their reproduction fair use?
@fredsbend to the extent that the works you describe are informational, the same treatment applies. Regarding whether any individual reproduction is fair use, I'd go back to the other factors. I.e. What is the purpose of the new work? How much of the original was taken? Does the new work take the place of the original?
+1 for the Copyright Office's index...that's a great resource!

Chan warns Malaysia: Risk of escalation cannot be underestimated
Correspondent 2018-12-09 Commentaries, Current Affairs, Politics
Former Army Chief and 2nd Assistant Secretary-General of PAP Chan Chun Sing warned that the "risk of escalation cannot be underestimated" regarding the recent incursion by Malaysian vessels in Singapore waters.
Speaking to reporters at a community event yesterday (8 Dec), Chan urged all parties to revert to the "pre-Oct 25 status quo ante for things to calm down".
This was his first public comment with regard to the recent maritime dispute between Singapore and Malaysia. Chan is now the minister for trade and industry. Chan said Singapore welcomes talks to find a "swift and amicable resolution" to the issues.
He said the RSN and the Singapore Police Coast Guard have been patrolling the areas off Tuas for decades. "Then suddenly the Malaysians publish a new map with a new port limit. No consultations, no discussions. Claiming even more than what they did in 1979, which no one else has even accepted."
"Sending Malaysian government vessels into the area inconsistent with innocent passage, conducting unlawful and unauthorised activities under international law, refusing to leave, then suggesting that Singapore vessels leave the area for talks to happen. That's not right. Even the layman can see that this cannot be right," he added.
He also said "we have seen this pattern before", citing Malaysia's unilateral claims over Pedra Branca and the waters off Tuas.
"That set off a dispute that lasted decades. Military forces were deployed, facing off each other at sea. We were brought up in that generation. We even went to ICJ (International Court of Justice) and even that did not fully settle the issue. Even today, we are still managing the issue. It has become a blemish on our bilateral ties," he said.
He also questioned the sincerity of the younger Malaysian leaders who had signaled towards closer cooperation between Singapore and Malaysia. "I hope their actions will match their words," Chan said.
Stealth Frigates, Submarines and USVs
It's not known what vessels Singapore is currently sending to the disputed maritime area to fend off the intrusions by Malaysian vessels but certainly Singapore has added much formidable firepower in RSN in recent years.
According to a 2007 article by Defense News, the Singapore's Navy has undergone dramatic upgrades with the addition of destroyers, submarines, unmanned systems and a new command-and-control system, "moving ever closer toward developing a blue-water naval force".
The new stealthy Formidable-class frigates would allow RSN to project force farther from home. Sam Bateman, senior fellow and adviser at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies contended that the new ships are "by far the most advanced surface combatants in Southeast Asia. They constitute a real capability edge for the Singapore Navy over other regional navies."
"While they have an effective point defense air-to-air warfare capability, their main attributes lie in anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare," he said. "The organic helicopter will provide an important extension of the ship's own capabilities, particularly for surveillance, over-the-horizon targeting and anti-submarine warfare." The frigates are equipped with Sikorsky S-70B "Seahawk" naval helicopters, with anti-surface and anti-submarine combat systems.
A MINDEF spokesman was also quoted saying, "Our locally developed CMS [combat management system] on board the frigates not only integrates the sensors and the weapon systems, but also incorporates data links and networks for force-level capabilities and advanced visualization for situation awareness."
Weapons on the frigates include the Boeing Harpoon anti-ship missiles, MBDA Aster 15/30 surface-to-air missiles, Oto Melara 76 mm gun, Eurotorp A244-S Mod 3 torpedoes and CIS 50 12.7 mm machine guns.
Other than having the most advanced frigates in Southeast Asia, last year, it was announced that the new Type-218SG submarines from Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems will be added to RSN fleet. MINDEF said that the new submarines boast design innovations to optimise training, operation and maintenance costs. They will also be equipped with "significantly improved capabilities" like modern combat systems and Air Independent Propulsion systems.
"To be effective, the RSN needs to keep pace with this growth of navies in Asia. At steady state, the four Type-218SGs in service will complement each other in maintenance, logistics and operations, and have better capabilities to protect our sea lines of communication," Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said during the announcement of acquiring the advanced German submarines last year.
In addition, the RSN is also experimenting with a variety of unmanned systems, including unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) for maritime surveillance, interception and force protection, while Autonomous Underwater Vehicles would further expand the RSN's capabilities in the underwater dimension.
The USVs are stealthy inflatable boat developed by Israel-based Rafael. Armed with surveillance equipment and the Typhoon close-in weapon system, it can approach suspicious craft night or day.
With such formidable firepower the RSN possesses, it's no wonder Minister Khaw has the confidence to warn that Singapore won't hesitate to take firm actions against Malaysia if necessary with regard to the recent maritime dispute between the 2 countries.

The following "GFTT Rules," as amended May, 2015, shall govern the 2023 Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament
I. GENERAL
1.01 The Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament (the "Tournament") is one of the "Big Three" tarpon fly tournaments and the purpose of these rules is to promote and foster the Tournament's legacy of sportsmanship and fair competition among friends in pursuit of landing large tarpon on fly tackle.
1.02 The Tournament shall take place each year in Islamorada, Florida, beginning on the Monday immediatly preceding Memorial Day, and shall continue for thee full days through Wednesday. There will be a kick-off and registration banquet the Sunday evening before the first day of fishing and an awards and closing event after the last day of fishing.
1.03 The Tournament shall be governed by the fly fishing rules of the International Game Fish Association ("IGFA Rules") and these GFTT Rules, as amended from time to time. In the rare instances when the GFTT Rules may conflict with the IGFA Rules, the GFTT Rules shall supersede the IGFA Rules. It is the responsibility of each Angler and Guide to know the IGFA Rules
and the GFTT Rules.
1.04 The Tournament shall be conducted by various committees as set forth below by the chairperson. In the event the chairperson cannot serve, the chairperson shall be the prior year's Grand Champion or First Runner-Up.
II. ANGLERS AND GUIDES
2.01 The Tournament is open to a limit of 25 Anglers by invitation only. Invitations will be issued to prospective Anglers based upon approval of an Invitation Committee. Anglers desiring an invitation may submit an application to the Tournament Chairperson. Anglers receiving an invitation must confirm participation by paying an entry fee prior to November 15 preceding the Tournament. Unpaid Anglers risk losing their place in the Tournament.
2.02 The Chairman and Rules Committee should consider the following factors when selecting Anglers to receive an invitation:
1) Anglers who participated in the prior year's Tournament, 2) past Grand Champions, 3) past participants based on number of years fished, and 4) new anglers based on waiting time.
2.03 Each Angler must fish with a Guide licensed by the United States Coast Guard. Guides cannot fish. Only the Angler and Guide are permitted aboard the skiff during the fishing day.
2.04 Guides may not guide for a member of their immediate family, defined as spouse, sibling, child, or parent.
2.05 An active Florida skiff Guide, defined as an individual having provided guiding services for hire within the prior six months, shall not be eligible to participate as an Angler.
2.06 The Tournament shall set an entry fee which shall include all banquets and other daily and evening activities for the Angler and Guide. Guests may be added to these activities for an additional fee set by the Tournament.
2.07 In the event of emergency or illness, an Angler or Guide may have a substitute. The Chairman and Rules Committee must
approve all substitutes.
2.08 The Angler is responsible for daily Guide fees.
2.09 The Anglers and Guides shall be randomly placed on three teams of equal size for purposes of starting times and team awards.
2.10 Either the Angler or his Guide must attend the pre-tournament kick-off banquet to confirm registration, receive Tournament information, and pick up measuring packets.
III. TACKLE
3.01 Only fly casting will be permitted, and only artificial lures may be used. Only one-handed rods and single action reels are eligible to be used. The rod may not be altered after a fish is hooked.
3.02 Tippet will be 16 lb. manufacturer's stated test and will be furnished at no charge by the Tournament.
3.03 Leaders may not exceed 15 feet in length and must contain not less than 15 inches of Tournament approved tippet material between the knots. A shock tippet may be of nonmetallic or metallic material, may not exceed 12 inches including the knots, and must be tied directly to the Tournament approved tippet.
3.04 A broken rod, above the reel seat, will not disqualify a caught or released fish.
3.05 A release gaff may be used and must be no more than two feet long with ropes or straps not to exceed 12 inches. Fish may be lip gaffed only.
IV. FISHING TIMES, TERRITORY, AND RULES
4.01 Each day the fishing shall begin at a Fishing Headquarters selected by the Tournament, and all Anglers must sign-in prior to departing to fish.
4.02 All boats must depart from and return to Fishing Headquarters by water. Anglers and Guides may fish any areas accessible by boat from Fishing Headquarters.
4.03 Under the direction of an official starter, skiffs will leave in a "staggered start" fashion by teams. The first team shall leave at 5:45am, the second at 6:00am and the remaining team at 6:02. Starting times shall be rotated among the teams each day to assure that each team receives a different starting time each day, and that each team receives each starting time once during the Tournament.
4.04 Fishing may begin as soon as a skiff arrives at a fishing spot. Fishing may continue until 3:00pm at which time lines must be out of the water. A fish hooked prior to 3:00pm may be fought, caught, and released after 3:00pm. However, all boats must return to Fishing Headquarters by 5:00pm. Boats returning to Fishing Headquarters after 5:00pm may incur a penalty as set forth in Section VI.
4.05 The start on any day may be delayed by the Tournament in the event of imminent inclement or dangerous weather. In the event of severe weather (i.e. tropical storm), the Tournament committee may reduce the number of fishing days.
4.06 The policy of the Tournament is that the first skiff to reach a spot is entitled to fish there. The Guides Committee strongly recommends strict observation of all recognized courtesies and sporting practices between skiffs. This includes giving way and sufficient room to other boats in an area that typically accommodates more than one skiff under normal fishing conditions. Understanding that the Florida Keys waters are fished by many skiffs each day, it is considered unsportsmanlike and a rules violation to have a spot "saved" by another boat.
4.07 Chumming or fishing in or near chummed areas is not allowed. In addition, there will be no fishing within 150 yards of known "pet fish" areas, such as Robbie's Marina.
4.08 There will be no fishing or staking above the "pocket" of Buchanan Bank.
4.09 No assistance may be given to any Angler other than by his Guide who handles the boat, gaffs or grabs fish, and measures or releases fish.
4.10 No Angler or Guide may scout for fish using aircraft during the period from the beginning of fishing on the first day until the end of fishing on the last day.
V. SKIFFS AND BOATING
5.01 The fishing boat shall be a traditional flats skiff design or at the discretion of the Rules Committee.
5.02 Each skiff shall be properly equipped with Coast Guard safety equipment. Guides are expected to operate skiffs in keeping with applicable boating laws and traditional fishing and boating norms for the areas fished.
5.03 All skiffs shall have running lights; any skiff without operative running lights shall not be allowed to leave Fishing Headquarters prior to 6:15am. Running lights must be kept on until 6:15am whether running or stationary.
5.04 No ladder or heightening device platform shall extend more than four feet above the gunwale of the skiff.
5.05 Electric motors are not allowed. The Rules Committee may waive this rule for valid medical reasons.
VI. MEASURING AND SCORING
6.01 The Tournament Grand Champion shall be the Angler who accumulates the most points during the three days of fishing. In addition, the Tournament may also recognize point totals or fish caught by other finishers in individual awards.
6.02 For purposes of measuring and scoring, the Tournament shall issue to each Angler and Guide a measuring packet including: a four foot stick, a measuring tape, five zip-tie "straps," a roll of sticky tape, and three Catch and Release forms. The Angler or Guide shall provide a digital camera.
6.03 Fish may be submitted for points as either a released fish (a "Release") or as a weight fish (a "Weight Fish"). Anglers may submit no more than five Weight Fish for scoring during the Tournament. As described below, Weight Fish must be hooked, fought, and brought to hand or lip gaff to earn points. Fish shall be scored and points shall be earned in compliance with State of Florida fishing regulations in force at the time of the tournament.
6.04 There is no limit to the number of Releases allowed; however, an Angler's total Release points allowed may not exceed that Angler's total Weight Fish points. For team scoring, a team may count release points of an Angler without weight points, provided that the team's aggregate release points do not exceed the team's aggregate weight points.
6.05 After an Angler has hooked a tarpon, one may attempt to earn release points. Release points are earned when the nail knot, at the junction of the fly line and leader, is reeled through the top guide of the angler's fly rod. The boat may be in gear throughout the release process. Release fish must exceed the four foot length minimum. The provided measuring stick can be used to assist both guide and angler with judging the fish's length. The length is verified with the four foot stick, as measured along the side (lateral line) from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. A release fish is worth 200 points.
6.06 After hooking a fish and completing the release point scoring procedure, the Angler and Guide may then decide to score the fish as a Weight Fish. Their decision is to be taken based on judging the size of the fish in the water. It is considered unsportsmanlike for an Angler or Guide to partially lift a fish from the water to estimate weight.
6.07 If the angler and guide decide to score a fish as a Weight Fish, the Angler and Guide must complete the following procedure as quickly as possible: 1) Using the measuring tape, the length of the fish shall be measured along its side (lateral line) in inches from the tip of the lower jaw to the center of the fork of the tail with such length recorded on the Catch and Release form, 2) The girth shall be measured using a zip-tie "strap" which shall be placed around the widest part of the fish, perpendicular to the lateral line, and closed snugly, 3) The Angler or Guide must then take a digital photograph of the fish (the Strap Photo) showing as much of the fish as possible with the strap on the fish, 4) The strap should be slipped off and secured with the sticky tape. If for any reason, the Weight Fish scoring procedure is not completed, but the release point procedure is completed, then the Angler is still entitled to release points for successfully capturing the fish.
6.08 At the conclusion of each fishing day, the Angler and Guide must submit a signed Catch and Release form to the Tournament judges whether or not any fish have been caught. The Catch and Release form shall include times for catch and release of all fish, plus measurements of each Weight Fish released. Any Angler who has caught fish must turn in the sized and taped strap from any Weight Fish. Finally, Strap Photos for each fish caught must be shown the scorekeeper. These items must be turned in by 5:00 pm, or the Angler will be not be allowed any points from fish that day. The Tournament judges may waive the 5:00 pm rule for boat breakdowns or unusual circumstances.
6.09 The official weight of a Weight Fish shall be calculated by the Tournament scorekeeper. The strap shall be marked, cut, and the strap length (fish girth) measured in inches. The weight shall be determined to the nearest tenth of a pound using the following formula: (L" x G" x G")/800 or the length in inches multiplied by girth in inches squared divided by 800. An Angler's points for that Weight Fish shall be the calculated weight times 10.
6.10 Under no circumstances are fish to be killed and brought to the dock unless the Angler and Guide believe the fish to be a prospective world record. Any fish bought to the dock for record purposes shall, for tournament purposes, be scored as a Weight Fish using the Tournament measurements and calculation, not the actual weight.
6.11 Any potential Weight Fish measured and scored less than 70 pounds shall not be awarded any release or weight points, and that fish shall be counted towards the Angler's five Weight Fish limit.
6.12 A scoring example: an Angler catches two releases on the first day. He has no points, but two releases (400 points). On the second day, he catches two more Releases and a Weight Fish with these measurements: length – 62 inches, girth – 30.5 inches; therefore, his calculated Weight Fish weight is (62 x 30.5 x 30.5)/800 = 72.1 lbs., and his weight points are 721. He now has 1,442 points; his four releases total 800 points, but he only receives release points equal to 721 – his weight points. On the third day, he catches and measures his second Weight Fish, estimated by the Angler and Guide to be over 70 pounds, but which scores 69 pounds; he receives no points for this fish and loses the strap. Having scored two Weight Fish, he may score only three more Weight Fish.
VII. GOVERNANCE AND DISPUTES
7.01 The Tournament shall be conducted by the chairperson and a volunteer committee of Anglers and various sub-committees as set from time to time.
7.02 The standing committees shall be: the Rules Committee composed of active Anglers; the Guides Committee, composed of active Guides; and the Arbitration Committee, composed of distinguished former Anglers and Guides who no longer participate in the Tournament.
7.03 The Tournament may hire professional administrators to assist with operations, bookkeeping, marketing and public relations, logistics, and other duties. In addition, the Tournament shall secure judges to oversee daily sign-in, start and return times, Weight Fish scoring, total point calculations, and scorekeeping.
7.04 There shall be a rules meeting and check in on the Sunday evening prior to the tournament. The GFTT Rules shall be reviewed and explained, but not changed, at this meeting. Failure of at least one member of an Angler-Guide team to arrive by at least 6:00 pm on Sunday evening for the meeting shall result in a 500 point penalty for that team.
7.05 There shall be an annual Anglers' meeting after fishing on the Tuesday of the Tournament week to conduct any business of the Tournament. All Anglers are invited to attend and are entitled to vote on matters that come before the group. In addition, the Anglers will appoint a Rules Committee to review the rules for the next year's tournament. The Anglers at this meeting may approve any proposed changes to the GFTT Rules, and this annual meeting is the only time the GFTT Rules may be amended. Suggestions and comments on tournament operations or the rules are encouraged. Failure of BOTH members of an Angler – Guide team to arrive by 5:15 on the Tuesday of the tournament week for the Anglers' meeting shall result in a 500 point penalty for that team.
7.06 The Guides Committee is responsible for organizing meetings of the Guides to clarify rules interpretations, discuss starting and boating procedures, emphasize sporting practices, and other matters as are required.
7.07 All grievances concerning the rules shall be in writing, signed, and submitted to the judges by 5:00pm on the day of the alleged infraction; oral or anonymous grievances, or those filed after 5:00pm, will not be considered. The matter in dispute shall be referred to the Rules Committee who shall determine the proper treatment of the issue. If the decision of the Rules Committee is not accepted by either party to a dispute, the matter will be referred to the Arbitration Committee whose judgment shall be final and binding on all parties. All decisions by the committees shall be final and irreversible as of 5:00pm on the last day of fishing.
7.08 Any infraction of the rules will result in the Angler losing all points for that day of fishing.
VIII. OTHER
8.01 The Tournament operates on the honor system, and as such, relies on the integrity of its participants to guard its reputation as one of the premier fly fishing tournament in salt water. Any Angler or Guide found to have knowingly or willfully violated this, or another tournament's rules, may not be issued an invitation.
8.02 The intent of these GFTT Rules is to create an understandable and fair environment where the Angler and Guide's expertise in locating, hooking, landing, and releasing large tarpon on fly is rewarded, and to preserve those angling skills and Weight Fish judgment as similarly as possible, and in keeping with, the tournament's legacy as kill tournament.

Huawei has launched the Nova 4, its first smartphone with a hole punch display, in China. Huawei detailed the handset on its China web portal earlier today, and it's coming with some impressive screen and camera tech.
Despite its great looks, the Nova 4 isn't an ultra-premium smartphone but an upper mid-tier device, packing the Kirin 970 chipset. This is found in last year's Huawei Mate 10 series and this year's Huawei's P20 series, but it was recently succeeded by the more powerful Kirin 980 found in Huawei's Mate 20 series.
The Nova 4 has much in common with the aforementioned P20 in terms of looks, though it trades its predecessor's notch for a display hole — a feature which looks like it will trend in 2019. This hole houses the Nova 4's 25MP front-facing camera, while the Nova 4's rear comes with 48MP + 16MP + 2MP sensors (there's also a model available with a 20MP + 16MP + 2MP setup). All of the cameras are backed by AI features.
The handset's core specs include a 6.4-inch, Full-HD+ display at 2310 x 1080 resolution, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage space, while the battery comes in at 3750mAh. It's running Android 9.0 Pie.
The Nova 4 price is set at 3,399 yuan (~$490) in China or 3,099 yuan (~$450) for the 20MP camera version. Seeing as the previous Nova 3 was released in wider Asia and Europe, we expect the Nova 4 will also be on sale in other territories in the future.
All told, it looks like a strong first foray into hole punch display territory for Huawei — give us your thoughts on the Nova 4 in the comments.

UKERC - UK Energy Research Centre, report by engineering and academic experts who considered about 200 reports on the likely costs and effect of intermittency of wind power at up to 20% energy penetration. Conclusion - modest costs increase only.
Management options and strategies.Excellent summarry of the issues. Numerous reference and basically says that intermittency / variability is not a major issue and the costs are modest. "Wind imposes additional demands only inasmuch as it increases variability and unpredictability. However, these factors are nothing completely new to system operators. By adding another variable, wind power changes the degree of uncertainty, but not the kind."
