Review: 'Fast & Furious 6' is one sweet ride
By Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times Film Critic
As Socrates so sagely suggested when he stopped by the set of "Fast & Furious 6" — "Yo, know thyself..."
Dom and crew certainly took the words to heart. For all the excess in the latest installment of the adrenaline-injected street-racing action franchise, its humble, low-budget 2001 beginnings are still visible today in the rear-view mirror of Dom's super souped-up 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger.
Buildings topple, bridges crumble and speed limits are shamelessly broken as "Fast & Furious 6" roars through the streets of London. But the ties that bind are stronger than ever.
PHOTOS: Scenes from "Fast & Furious 6'
True, the movie doesn't know when or how to put the brakes on. It does, however, understand precisely what it is. No pretensions to greatness, it demonstrates total dedication to "badassness," which I believe is the technical term.
Even though Vin Diesel's Dom insists, "I don't do cold," the entire crew is in the British Isles, having been hijacked by noble ideals, a lost love and the hope of U.S. pardons for all their crimes and misdemeanors. Most recent was the $100 million they skimmed from a Brazilian drug lord in 2011's surprisingly satisfying "Fast Five."
Though it hardly seems possible, director Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan have brought even greater intensity to "6." The filmmakers have been on board since 2006's "Tokyo Drift," which brought Dom — and some sizzle in general — back to the party after the disastrous "2 Fast 2 Furious."
VIDEO: Upcoming summer films
In the new film, the action sequences are the most ambitious yet. The fights are sophisticatedly choreographed to be more brutally bam-bam than ever. And the underlying theme of family and loyalty that remains key to the "Furious" appeal is so heavily underscored, I believe every actor in the film gets to say "family" at least once.
But what really sets "F&F6" apart is the blinding speed with which it shifts between over-the-top action, that speedometer inching toward 800 mph at times, and soap opera emotions that bring everything to a screeching halt. It's enough to give you whiplash … in a good way.
All the "Fast" friends are back. In case you're not up to speed, the hard core include Dom's best friend and ex-FBI-er, Brian (Paul Walker), and Dom's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), who is also Brian's significant other and expecting their child. Roman (Tyrese Gibson), the computer whiz kid Tej (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges), "Tokyo Drift's" Han (Sung Kang) and "F&F4's" reformed bad girl Gisele (Gal Gadot) round out the crew.

But "6's," and Dom's, raison d'être is Letty, one of the franchise originals.
Letty's return from the dead was the big tease at the end of "Fast Five" (this time, the credits carry a hint about "7"). Michelle Rodriguez makes her classic tough chick even tougher. She survived the end we thought we witnessed when her undercover cover in a drug cartel was blown a few "Fasts" back.
Letty is alive but with no memory of Dom or anything else about her former life except how to drive. Her drag race through the streets of London with Dom — their version of foreplay — is reason enough to catch the flick at some point.
For now, though, Letty's under the influence of newly notorious international villain Shaw (Luke Evans). Once a member of British SAS elite forces, he's gone rogue.
The actual "reasons" for Shaw's villainy, beyond selling a secret military thingy for major bucks, is neither clear nor important. Federal agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), who spent "Fast Five" hunting Dom down, now needs his help.
PHOTOS: Summer Sneaks 2013
Why? Well, because Shaw is a fast-car fanatic too. It's as good an excuse as any for Dom et al to pull off the most outrageous and implausible string of road racing maybe in the history of mankind. Shaw's got his own crew of muscle men, but Klaus (Kim Kold) is the only one who is much fun. He is literally bigger than Hobbs, and their face-off, I swear, rattles the theater.
In addition to all the dangerous driving that is the franchise's signature, nearly every major character spends time airborne over great expanses of nothingness, with the ground or some landing spot far, far below — and often moving at high speed — so a shout-out to the stunt team that earned its pay.
Cinematographer Stephen F. Windon, long a part of the "F&F" team, does a spiffy job with all of it — the high flying and the buildings, planes and countless vehicles that implode and explode for the greater good.
Still, at times, it's hard not to wish for less. The fights play out in excruciating detail — who said everyone could throw a punch? There is no end to the explosions. The love scenes are the one occasion restraint finally shows up. They are little more than moony glances, mostly between Dom and Letty, but honestly, that was enough.
As much of a kick as "Fast & Furious 6" can be, in the pantheon of film, even action films, it's no Shakespeare. But as Socrates also said, "It is what it is, bro." And that's a pretty sweet ride.

Revision as of 18:44, 18 October 2018 by Michael Chidester (talk | contribs) (→Treatises)
Records show that by 4 June 1560 he had settled in Strasbourg, where he married Appolonia Ruhlman (Ruelman)[1] and joined the Cutler's Guild. His interests had already moved beyond knife-smithing, however, and in 1561, Meyer petitioned the City Council of Strasbourg for the right to hold a Fechtschule (fencing competition). He would repeat this in 1563, 1566, 1567 and 1568;[6] the 1568 petition is the first extant record in which he identifies himself as a fencing master.
Joachim Meyer's writings are preserved in two manuscripts prepared in the 1560s, the MS A.4º.2 (Lund) and the MS Var 82 (Rostock); a third manuscript from 1561 has been lost since at least the mid-20th century, and its contents are unknown.[11] Dwarfing these works is the massive book he published in 1570 entitled "A Thorough Description of the Free, Chivalric, and Noble Art of Fencing, Showing Various Customary Defenses, Affected and Put Forth with Many Handsome and Useful Drawings". Meyer's writings purport to teach the entire art of fencing, something that he claimed had never been done before, and encompass a wide variety of teachings from disparate sources and traditions. In keeping with this goal, Meyer seems to have constructed his treatises to present a method for training to fence, a significant departure from the earlier works in the tradition which explain the system of fencing directly. In keeping with this, he illustrated the techniques with depictions of fencers in courtyards using training weapons such as two-handed fencing swords, wooden dussacks, and rapiers with ball tips.
The first part of Meyer's treatise is devoted to the long sword (the sword in two hands), which he presents as the foundational weapon of his system, and this section devotes the most space to fundamentals like stance and footwork. His long sword system draws upon the teachings of Freifechter Andre Paurñfeyndt (via Christian Egenolff's reprint) and Liechtenauer glossators Sigmund ain Ringeck and pseudo-Peter von Danzig, as well as using terminology otherwise unique to the brief Recital of Martin Syber. Not content merely to compile these teachings as his contemporary Paulus Hector Mair was doing, Meyer sought to update—even reinvent—them in various ways to fit the martial climate of the late sixteenth century, including adapting many techniques to accommodate the increased momentum of a greatsword and modifying others to use beats with the flat and winding slices in place of thrusts to comply with street-fighting laws in German cities (and the rules of the Fechtschule).

The VariCam Pure outputs RAW files to the Codex Capture Drives, which are solid state recording media of up to 2TB of storage and with a bandwith of 20Gb/s. The 4K recording is offered in uncompressed RAW, at up to 120 FPS. With its 14+ stops of dynamic range in HDR and with V-LOG, the VariCam Pure is used for leading television drama and cinematography capture, offering a modular configuration at a smaller size than the original VariCam setup even when the Codex is attached. The dual base ISO remains at 800/5000.
If you can record uncompressed RAW with this camera, why is "14+ stops of dynamic range" mentioned only along with "in HDR and V-LOG"?
The uncompressed RAW should contain all the dynamic range the sensor can deliver, not depending on using any specific electro-optical transfer function.
marketing is important that is why they use words. Since not everyone undestands that raw has all you need from the sensor.


Anyone that watched the IGB appearance at The Public Accounts Committee will remember the confusion regarding the IGB business plan or if such a plan even existed. The IGB have submitted a document to the PAC.
The original document is titled Updated Financial Projections supporting the IGB strategic plan and is dated May 29 2015.
On May 29 2015 the CFO at IGB projected that the 2015 tote would be €26.4 million, a 33% increase from 2014 tote of €19.9 million. This was a brave shout as 2014 had been the eight consecutive year of declining tote. The brave call by the CFO was really wishful thinking as the 2015 tote according to IGB accounts actually declined and is €19.5 million. Nine years in a row of declining tote.
The CFO had projected further increases in 2016 to €27 million and to €28.4 million for 2017. I would suggest that IGB tote for 2017 is unlikely to reach €10 million.
The CFO has got all the projections wrong. He had forecast that operating costs would be €8.7 million and the actual figure turned out to be €12 million, an underestimate of almost 40%.
Total turnover from racing facilities was projected to be €31.6 million but the accounts show €28 million, a 12% over estimation by the CFO.
Media and other income was forecasted to be €303,000. The figure achieved according to the accounts is €100,000 or one third of what the CFO had forecast.
Legal fees were forecast to be €355,000 and turned out to be €1.4 million. IGB will claim that the pay out came sooner than they had anticipated. The case was ongoing since 2010 but IGB declined to budget for this contingency in their forecasts for 2016 or 2017 either.
This letter has been presented as some sort of a business plan. It clearly demonstrates the inability of IGB to run its business. The pattern of the forecasting is consistent, the CFO has grossly overestimated the income of the IGB and has grossly underestimated the costs associated with running the IGB. How can an organisation produce such inaccurate figures for even the first year of their business plan? The numbers for 2017 are total fantasy.
For how long more are Ministers Creed and Doyle going to ignore the obvious shortcomings of this Board?
The IGB are currently looking for submissions for their new strategic plan.

These new models offer increased visibility to the loader arm and bucket as well as improved efficiency thanks to a redesigned cab.
John Deere has announced that it is introducing two new models to its L-Series lineup: the 244L and 324L compact wheel loaders. These models are both ideal for landscape/snow removal, ag material handling, and construction tasks. In addition, they offer operators more uptime, leading to increased productivity and efficiency on the job.
"Our next generation of compact wheel loaders was designed to meet the needs of industry professionals who are demanding higher performance from their machines," said Drew Miller, product marketing manager, compact wheel loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. "Tailor-made for tight spaces, the 244L and 324L use our proprietary Articulation Plus system to provide greater stability and yield more lifting power while turning tighter."
Both the 244L and 324L have an auto shift hydrostatic transmission, which is coupled with an automatic two-speed gearbox. This allows for faster traveler speeds up to 23 miles per hour – a 21 percent increase over K-Series models. In addition, each machine has a Final Tier 4 engine with 73 horsepower.
To round out the features, the 244L and 324L have redesigned cabs. Operators can opt for an air ride, high-back operator seat that makes for a smooth ride. There is also increased visibility to the loader arm and bucket, and the interior layout of the switches and gauges ultimately improves overall efficiency. JDLink telematics provide real-time data on health prognostics for the utmost productivity.
To learn more about the 244L, 324L or any of the compact wheel loaders John Deere has to offer, speak to your local John Deere dealer or visit www.JohnDeere.com.


All of the early month's of the year are lead by the weather. In the past I have been unable to get on the ground until April in 2000, but the year before that I was watering the square in February.
January this year is a damp start with most of both outfields very squishy indeed!
This year we have moved both rugby pitches running from left to right on either side of the square at the far end of the ground. This will give us the opportunity to enlarge the top square to the right of the current one in the future.
So far this year I have been cleaning up the grounds and burning off any fallen wood and trimmings from the tree's.
Very slow week because of the winter weather. Paul and I traveled to Hampshire this week to pick up the cover's that we have purchased from a public school near Fleet. Our old friend and hopefully not x-player James Weedon provided the transport to bring our covers to there new home. A bit of work is necessary to smarten them up for the season, but by the time that you see them in April they will look the part.

Brandon Matera closes in on WA return after completing medical with Dockers

Brandon Matera is one step closer to joining Fremantle after completing a medical at the club late last week.
The Gold Coast forward is out of contract and keen to return home to Western Australia, where his father Wally and two uncles made a name for themselves.
Matera's manager Colin Young said the pair would meet with the Suns and Fremantle to discuss his future this week.
"He was in there on Friday and had a medical test," Young told Footy WA.
"We'll be meeting with both Gold Coast and Fremantle this week and see where it sits."
Richmond skipper Trent Cotchin will play in Saturday's grand final after being cleared by the AFL Match Review Panel.
VideoRichmond skipper Trent Cotchin will play in Saturday's grand final after being cleared by the AFL Match Review Panel.
West Coast, where Brandon's father, Wally, and uncles, Peter and Phil Matera, combined for 456 games, have not shown any interest in the South Fremantle product.
Matera was picked up by the Suns as a 17-year-old and has played 101 games in seven seasons.
He sits second in the club's all-time leading goal-kickers with 124 goals.
The clever goalsneak had a rollercoaster 2017 season, playing 10 consecutive games after starting the year in the NEAFL.
He kicked 22 goals in the seniors including a six-goal haul in round three against Hawthorn.
But he was sidelined for a month midway through the year with a foot injury before finishing the season in the reserves.
Young believes the 25-year-old best football is still ahead of him.
Fremantle were the second-worst attacking side in the competition this season and is in need of some extra firepower up forward.
First-year recruits Cam McCarthy and Shane Kersten led the Dockers' goal-kicking with 25 and 24 majors respectively.
Matera was at Domain Stadium yesterday, watching younger brother Bailey win a WAFL reserves premiership with Subiaco.
Bailey Matera, 21, had 20 possessions, two inside-50s and a goal in the Lions' 19-point win over his former club South Fremantle.

[Saki Doujin Game] The Memories of Summer ENG Ver.
Posted on March 5, 2014 by truend
Baidu download link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1c0eQgAO
Mirror: Mediafire
Consult this page for a walkthrough
Download instructions (for the Baidu link): And it's finally done. There were a few line breaks that I didn't catch, but I don't want to push the release back again, so I didn't bother fixing them. Please report all bugs/typos to me. CG, sprites and BGM pack coming soon. Please consult the readme-ENG file if you have any problems. The option menu wasn't translated, so I included a screenshot in English, but it's pretty easy to figure out. A few pointers given below because the game has a few bugs. More details available in the readme-ENG file. Gameplay notes:
Be careful with skipping through text that you've already read in Saki's route! For some reason, it'll skip right through new lines that can only be accessed after you meet a certain criteria. Lots of lines get unlocked right after Teru cleans her room. Then, every night after that, plus some other times during the day of the fireworks, new lines will pop up.
The skipping text bug also applies to other routes as well. Just use with care.
The endings are kind of cheap sometimes. If you think you didn't pick anything wrong and still got a BAD END, just play it again. Something might pop up during a branch where you were forced to choose one path before.
A short comment about each route in case you're wondering in which order they should be played:
All 5 routes can be accessed in any order, but not all endings are immediately available. Refer to this post to see all possible endings.
Saki: the longest. Contains the most flashbacks. Really serves as the foundation of the game, but it's up to you whether you want know right away why Saki had a falling out with Teru.
Toki: another flashback-heavy route. Goes hand-in-hand with Saki's route. Toki and Saki's routes do most of the explanations for the other routes. Again, up to you when you want the answers to the hints about Teru's past in the other routes.
Awai: the cavity route because really, it's just all fluff. Hints to that other Miyanaga girl.
Kuro: ugh…I tried my best with this, but it's clear that the original game makers were planning more material for Kuro and just didn't include it for whatever reason. So this route comes out of nowhere near the end of the game and is very short. It's like Teru wasn't with anybody and suddenly is in love with Kuro. Hints to both Teru's past with Saki and that other Miyanaga girl. Also, Kuro is OOC. Tried my best to correct it, but I can't rewrite the game…
Sumire: nothing much to say here other than Sumire is NOT a romantic interest :(. There are a few scenes in the beginning about her, but that's it. Since this route is supposed to be a mystery, I'll let it stay a mystery (but it's not that hard to figure out what's going on).

Wow! I had no idea this even existed. Thank you! Are they're anymore Saki yuri games like this?
The only other one I know is also in Chinese and just use sprites from the official saki website. Can be found here: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2533818908. Pairings: TeruSaki, TeruHisa, TeruSumire.
I think the same people who did Memories of Summer are planning another game. So far I just saw a screenshot of Nodoka and Yuuki and have no idea what it's about.

This is really good for the most part (only real issues with it are the changes in some characters personalities). The work put into the translation as well as the actual game is really stunning and in my opinion is better than a lot other commercial products.
truend on March 16, 2014 at 9:10 pm said:
Thanks for the feedback. I really, really wanted to correct the personalities, but it's not my game so I just had to deal with it. Glad you enjoyed it, though.
Vinez on March 18, 2014 at 9:26 am said:
okay, maybe i'm stupid or something XD
but can you give me hint to "sumire" true route?? since I always got the normal ending ._.
if you can't post here, you can tell me vie e-mail, sorry for bother 😀
Hmm, I ran into that problem too during my first playthrough, and the reason is that you're missing an ending from one of the other routes. Refer to this post for a list of all the routes and possible endings. Make sure you hit them all before attempting Sumire's true ending.

actually, is there another way to play the game without using winzip? because in order to open the file, i need winzip, but I can't open .exe files in winzip

An alternative to winzip is 7zip. You can unzip the folder before running the exe.

I got all possible endings for each heroine but, when I tried the Sumire route, I always get a Normal Ending 😦 I'm desperate to know who killer is XD SPOIL ME desu~
Spoiler here I'm also attaching a walkthrough on this page so you can tell exactly what you're missing.

Just wanted to say you've done a hell of a job translating this and that I appreciate it. I've also told several friend of mine who are into Saki about this VN, and I linked it on some sites I frequent.
I have no idea if you even check this site anymore but if you do I wanted to let you know your hard work paid off and your translations are still reaching Saki fans even now, some 2 years later.

If I decide to alter "Reading Settings" and choose a front page for home I can define a "Static Page" and a "Posts Page".
"Static Page" ain't leaving a question to me since it's what's gonna be grabbed if I click on my Logo. But where will I face this so called "Posts Page"?
I'm feeling confused somehow :-)

Most of us realize that humankind is in a serious situation. We are destroying the systems that support us. And with the immensity of the challenges that we face, it's tempting to look away.
In the documentary film The Great Turning, author, teacher and activist Joanna Macy lays out her understanding for a new revolution. Following the agricultural and industrial revolutions, Macy describes a revolution that is already underway.
If you want to make changes in your community, but feel the crushing burden of just how grim things truly are, I highly recommend this movie. In just 27 minutes, Joanna Macy will inspire you to let your heart break wide open, then roll up your sleeves and get to work. Join the revolution to put your creativity and tenacity to work to help create a more life-sustaining world. Viva la Revolution!
"We need each other in ways we've never needed each other before. In the past there was the tacit assumption that life would go on. That's been lost now."
"My way of dealing with the overwhelm is to look it straight in the eye and say, there you are again. We are suffering with our world."
Don't be afraid of your heart breaking open. The heart that breaks open can hold the whole universe."
"I want so much to feel sure. I want to be able to tell people, Don't worry. It's going to turn out okay."
"But would that elicit from us our greatest creativity and courage? No. It's that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest power."
"So, we do ourselves the favor. We live with sufficient realism and dignity to know. We don't know how it's going to turn out."
"There never has been guarantee for human life. It's like an exquisite wind and fire of uncertainty. That's the nature of life. That's where we come alive."
"As people acting in defense of life wake up to the grandeur of who they really are and find sources of strength, synergies, grace beyond what they could have expected…that's the Great Turning."

Two types of baseball apps
There are two different types of baseball apps. The first are for people trying to experience the game from an entertainment perspective. This includes news sites, blogs, live streaming, radio, social media, and things like that. These types of apps give people a greater ability to enjoy the game in ways they definitely couldn't 20 years ago. Baseball is surprisingly good with its streaming rights and you can find baseball games on most major streaming services as well as an official MLB streaming experience that is vastly better than most other major sports.
The second type of baseball app are for people who actually play the game. These include score-keeping apps, stat apps, fantasy baseball apps, and other such things. These apps aid people in enjoying the game of baseball on a more active level and, in some cases, can be better than the old paper and pencil methods from years ago. We have both types of baseball apps on this list so let's get started.
10 best fantasy sports apps for Android
10 best sports news apps for Android
Price: Free / $4.99 per month
ESPN is kind of an easy choice for baseball fans. It covers the sport with decent coverage, analysis, and highlight videos. You also get trade rumors, stats, schedules, scores, and the usual stuff. It even has some live streaming capabilities if you already have cable. ESPN also supplies ESPN+, a $4.99 per month streaming service with a bunch of extra on-demand and live streaming sporting events. It covers quite a bit of baseball, even some minor league stuff, the Little League World Series, and other baseball-related events. It's definitely a lot better than it used to be in terms of app stability. The opinion pieces can be a little preachy, though.
Google Assistant and Search
Google Assistant is great for sports fans. In fact, it was one of the first things Google added to the app before it was called Google Assistant. A simple question gets you scores, schedules, news, and various other information. It's also good for checking the weather before heading out to the game. The Google Feed section automatically populates with stuff you care about. Over time, the app will just give you scores, updates, and news without you asking for it. You can also set what teams you care about in the settings if you want to. It's a worthy pick if you like baseball or any sports for that matter.
Feedly is an RSS reader. People can populate it with whatever news sites that they want. This makes it one of the better baseball apps for news. You add blogs and news sites that you like. Feedly shows you the latest articles from all of them when opened. This is a great way to keep track of multiple sites at once through one app. It also features cross-platform support with PC, IFTTT, Twitter, Facebook, and others. That makes it easy to follow baseball personalities and other stuff too. Inoreader (Google Play link) is another good option if Feedly isn't working for you.
Price: Free / $19.99
iScore is another baseball scorecard app. It has functionality for both baseball and softball although the scoring isn't really any different between them. The app lets you create rosters and leagues, score full games, export games for sharing, and more. It's another app for people like coaches, little leagues, and super fans who want their own stat sheets. It's definitely one of the better baseball apps for amateur players and pick-up games as well. The app's pro version goes for $19.99. That's fairly steep but the free version seems to work pretty well.
Price: Free / $2.99 per month / $19.99 per year
MLB At Bat is one of the essential baseball apps. The app lets fans watch any out-of-market baseball game. That includes 60fps video. The app also includes radio broadcasts, a video archive, stats, news, schedules, rosters, and support for Spanish. The live baseball is quite good and boasts 60fps playback, rewinding live games, closed captioning, and more. The full subscription goes for $19.99 per year, but that's a whole lot less than other sports charge for their similar services. MLB should be constantly lauded for how good this app is at streaming sports.

SofaScore is one of the best score apps for any sport and that includes baseball. The app gives you up-to-the-minute scores across virtually every sport you know and several you might not know. The app's UI is clean, colorful, and easy to use. You shouldn't have any major problems setting up the leagues you want to keep track of and switching between them. This one is a bit overkill if you want to only follow baseball scores since it is designed to follow a ton of different sports. Otherwise, it's a solid app with very few complaints from us or, well, anyone else. The Play Store listing shows it as a soccer scores app, but trust us, you can view a lot more sports than just soccer.
theScore is a sports news app. They cover many sports, including NFL, NHL, NBA, soccer, the Olympics, and baseball. The app has a clean UI. It also lets you pick your favorite teams and only shows news about those teams. The app includes scores, schedules, stats, news, and highlight videos when available. Basically, it's a rock solid alternative to larger, usually more bloated baseball apps like ESPN or Yahoo sports. The app has the occasional bug but the developers usually do a fairly decent job of squashing them. Otherwise, this is a solid sports app.
Twitter is a surprisingly good spot for sports. Most baseball personalities, players, journalists, and teams have individual accounts. They provide a near constant stream of updates, news, highlights, live scores, and discussion. You can usually find stuff like short highlight clips moments after they happen versus waiting for the big blogs to post about it. The app itself is functional if not overly inspiring. You log in, follow the baseball accounts, and then scroll through the Tweets. We're big fans of the Cleveland Indians Twitter page, but all of the teams do a fairly good job. Just avoid the politics because Twitter politics are the literal worst.
Yahoo Sports and its fantasy sports platform, Yahoo Fantasy Sports, are excellent options for baseball fans. They both compete directly with ESPN and its fantasy sports platform as the top two sports news sites on the Internet. Yahoo sports gives you the usual stuff, including scores, news, rumors, the schedule, injuries, and other such things. The fantasy sports app is probably just as good as ESPN's, but we like the simplicity of Yahoo's just a little bit more. ESPN does a little bit better with live streaming MLB games as Yahoo tends to focus a little more on football. However, both are above average when it comes to news, scores, standings, and all of that stuff.
Price: Free trial / varies
Live TV apps are great baseball apps. They let you stream live television from a bunch of different channels. All of the major services support local channels and that usually includes local sports channels like Fox Sports another such stations. Most of them also support cloud DVR, remember your favorite channels, and other useful features. This is about the only way to stream in-market games since MLB's official streaming service usually doesn't let you watch home games. YouTube TV, DirecTV Now, Sling TV, Hulu TV, and Fubo TV are the big players in this space right now. They all support local channels and local sports channels most of the time.

Canada's animal care council dragging heels on battery-cage egg ban, claim lobby groups
By Gill Hyslop

Mercy For Animals (MFA) contends the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) is still behind the times in outlawing caged egg production.
This comes as the global farmed animal protection organization applauded Nestlé Canada for its announcement to switch to using only cage-free eggs for its local products.
Earlier this month, Nestlé Canada was the latest in a long line of global companies, including Kellogg's and General Mills in 2015, to join the pledge to use 100% cage-free eggs by 2025.
MFA pointed to a survey conducted by the NRG Research Group that found 79% of Canadians believe the NFACC should advise egg farmers to use cage-free systems, while 83% said the government should enact laws to mandate cage-free egg production.
Get cracking
In a statement, the MFA has called on the NFACC to ensure the final version of the Layer Code of Practice clearly advises egg farmers to stop using cages.
MFA asserted the draft of the Layer Code of Practice doesn't cover the NFACC's mandate to represent the consumer, marketplace and societal expectations on farm animal welfare.
World Animal Protection Canada has concurred, stating that the proposed updates to the Code will continue to allow producers to house hens in cages.
It also maintained the NFACC is trailing behind both corporate cage-free commitments and consumer attitudes in phasing out battery cages.
The existing Code of Practice for poultry in the egg sector was developed in 2003, but has been undergoing revision since January 2012.
All interested shareholders were granted time to comment on the draft and these are currently being revised by the Code Development Committee. The new Code is expected to be released at the beginning of 2017, according to NFACC's website.
Egg on face
Earlier this year, MFA captured undercover video footage purporting to show a large Ontario egg farm with thousands of birds tightly packed into wire cages, sights of sick and injured birds – as well as the bodies of dead chickens decomposing among the living.
At the time, NFACC released a statement that the draft Layer Code "addresses a wide range of welfare concerns, including all of those raised by the video".
The practice of raising hens in battery cages has been banned by the EU and in a number of US states. Canada is yet to follow suit.
Krista Hiddema, VP of Mercy For Animals in Canada hopes Nestlé Canada's move will encourage the National Farm Animal Care Council to recommend only cage-free housing through the upcoming Code.
Egg-cellent moves
Nestlé Canada has committed to using 100% cage-free eggs in all its Canadian food products by 2025.
The North American food producer purchases almost 500,000 pounds of eggs and approximately $44m worth of dairy products annually.
Senior VP Catherine O'Brien said: "Working alongside Canadian farmers is an essential part of the company's commitment to the health, care and welfare of animals."
The company will also be pushing to eradicate practices like tail docking for cattle and pigs, gestation crates for pigs and veal crates.
Nestlé is developing pilot projects with its suppliers and World Animal Protection to establish a roadmap for sourcing cage-free eggs in Europe and the rest of the world.
The Kellogg Company has also committed to sourcing only cage-free eggs for its foods by the end of 2025.
The breakfast cereal maker has already reduced its use of eggs from caged hens in its Morningstar Farms products by 20 million eggs since 2007. Morningstar Farms is a division of The Kellogg Company that produces vegetarian food.
General Mills, too, has given itself a 2025 deadline on its move to 100% cage-free eggs in all its US products.
The Cheerios cereal maker already sources free-range eggs for its Haagen-Dazs ice creams in Europe.

You know that the picture of the caged hens in your article is not that of a Canadian farm. And the farm in Ontario did not have tightly packed birds with sick and dead birds among those producing eggs. Why is it always the same line in all the mercy for animals articles.
The code of practice now includes a member of the humane society among its developers to meet and exceed standards. The current standards, which mercy for animals seem to know nothing about, have lowered mortality of flocks to less thank 1%, reduced birds per cage, provide 15-16 hours of daylight;fresh clean water; continuous bacterial tests in barns, feed mills, water wells; veterinary consultations; and daily manure removals.
Why do you not speak to professors and experts in the field? No one, except those with a vegan agenda, will back up anything you say in this article.


Why a sole proprietorship could be in a perfectly competitive industry?

Alright I'm thinking on creating a new brand for coffee. I'm hoping the people will love it and that it can attract many buyers and sellers. This will create a market structure.
Sounds great! The four types of the market structure are Perfect Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Monopoly Market Structure, and Oligopoly Market Structure.
I also researched that Perfect competitions would provide ideal circumstances for sole proprietorships to develop. However perfect competitions do not exist in the real world.


A 54-year-old man was shot dead by the police in Kowloon peninsula over the weekend after the person failed to heed warnings and attacked a shop manager with a knife after an apparent quarrel.
At around 12.30 pm on Saturday, police patrolling an area in Yau Ma Tei noticed a man armed with a knife running toward Pak Hoi Street, prompting the officers to give pursuit.
The man ran into Kai Bo Food Supermarket, which is located at the junction of Reclamation Street and Pak Hoi Street, where he attacked a 50-year-old manager of the store.
According to reports, the man had visited the store earlier in the day and had exchanged words with the store manager after the latter became suspicious of the man's intent and asked him to leave.
The man left the supermarket as told, but soon returned to the premises with a knife and started attacking the store manager.
As per CCTV footage from the store, which was released on Sunday, the man slashed the supermarket employee in the head. The knife used in the attack, it was later discovered, had been stolen from a roasted meat seller on the street.
According to the police, they gave two verbal warnings to the knife-wielding man after he entered the store and confronted the shop manager.
But the person failed to heed the warnings, prompting a male police constable to fire one shot at the man as he was trying to slash the manager again.
The attacker sustained a shot wound to his chest and collapsed onto the floor.
Both the attacker and the store manager were sent to Kwong Wah Hospital. The former, who had been brought in unconscious state, was certified dead later.
The store manager was conscious despite a knife wound to his head.
A female staff member of the supermarket was also sent to hospital after she suffered severe panic due to the violent incident at the store.
The store manager, a person surnamed Lau, told the media on Sunday that he was thankful to the police officer for having saved his life by opening fire at the knife-wielding assailant.
In a message posted on the department's official Facebook page, the police pointed out that under the Police General Orders, police officers are allowed to open fire in three circumstances, which are to protect someone, including themselves, from death or serious injury; to bring about the arrest of a person who has just committed a serious or violent crime; or to quell a riot or insurrection.
Investigation by the Regional Crime Unit of Kowloon West Region is underway.
Police have urged anyone who witnessed the quarrel between the dead assailant and the store manager, or may have background information in relation to the incident, to contact the investigating officers on a phone hotline.

This document presents an illustrative framework for providing fast
reroute in an IP or MPLS network through encapsulation and forwarding
to "not-via" addresses.  The general approach described here uses a
single level of encapsulation and could be used to protect unicast,
multicast, and LDP traffic against link, router, and shared risk
group failure, regardless of network topology and metrics.
The mechanisms presented in this document are purely illustrative of
the general approach and do not constitute a protocol specification.
The document represents a snapshot of the work of the Routing Area
Working Group at the time of publication and is published as a
document of record.  Further work is needed before implementation or

Have you ever headed to the beach only to find yourself hopping and cursing as you try to cross the burning sand? Did you sink into mud the last time you took a hike across a wetland? A rugged, well-built boardwalk could be the perfect solution to these problems.
Boardwalks have been made famous by locations such as Coney Island, Myrtle Beach, Hampton Beach and Atlantic City. These bustling pathways are hubs of commercial activity and draw droves of tourists every year. Most boardwalks, however, serve simpler and more practical purposes. You'll find them leading down to or running parallel along the water at beaches or elevated above bogs and marshes to provide a safe and sturdy walking path. These manmade trails are often restricted to foot traffic and cyclists, though some of the more expansive boardwalks may be built to accommodate small vehicles.
What Are Boardwalks Made From?
Wooden or timber boardwalks are the most common; they're the type you'll usually see when traveling. Timbers may be arranged in a classic parallel design or in stylized patterns for a more interesting look. Concrete boardwalks are used when a higher load capacity is needed. Not only can concrete stand up to heavier traffic, but it also lasts longer and requires less maintenance than timber since it doesn't decay or buckle. Other materials may include composite or plastic. The type of material chosen depends on the desired look as well as how much and what kind of traffic the boardwalk will be expected to support.
Foundation materials and pile types differ depending on the material used to build a boardwalk and the intended use of the pathway. The total load that the boardwalk has to bear influences whether concrete or steel piles are used. Piles may be round or in the shape of an H, with H-piles being capable of reaching farther into the ground. Piles may need to be driven into sand and mud, either dry or underwater, and each location requires different equipment to ensure a reliable installation.
Boardwalks need maintenance over time, and Ram Jack of Indiana can help make sure that these pathways stay sturdy year after year. Our pier foundation repair services reinforce boardwalks to prevent sloping, twisting, cracking and other damage. Visit our website for a full description of our services and to learn how we can help maintain the pathways around your Carmel, IN, home or business.

Team Projects Flourish in Remote Learning Environment
Business Students Impress Ameritas Executives with Presentations
Jacqueline Dam (left), a senior marketing major from Seward, Nebraska, and Keaton Fricker, a junior management and marketing major from Midland, Texas, impressed Ameritas professionals with their presentations on Zoom.
Completing student team projects remotely creates challenges, but what happens when the company students need to interact with also transitions to a remote environment? University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Business students in Special Topics: Ameritas Marketing Class (MRKT 490) faced that difficulty in their experiential learning project while working with Ameritas this semester.
As the time approached for students to present business plans to the Ameritas innovation team, traditional campus classroom activities halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ameritas simultaneously began transitioning 2,400 employees to work at home which caused a reshuffling of employees who would meet with marketing students. Brent Korte, senior vice president at Ameritas, and Kelsea Brunner, '19, strategic partnerships and innovation coordinator, became the remaining management professionals to work and interact with students. Korte wondered if students could adjust quickly and present effectively through Zoom.
"I was a little skeptical and unsure of what to expect," said Korte. "Then the day of the presentation came and I was astounded. It was clear the students had prepared, and their handoffs from one presenter to another were flawless. Their ability to answer questions was outstanding."
Rob Simon, associate professor of practice in marketing, knows it can be difficult to impress company executives even when students meet them in-person. In this case, the time frame students faced ramped up the pressure.
"This class was only three days after spring break, which happened just as students were forced into the remote learning environment," said Simon, who received the 2020 CoB Faculty Service Award. "I was not sure what frame of mind they would be in with all the challenges. Their transitions delivering the presentations were better than they did face-to-face. It showed a high-level of professionalism."
Keaton Fricker, a junior management and marketing major, returned to live with her parents in Midland, Texas, during the campus shutdown. Being so far away from her teammates, she knew preparation would be key. Her team simulated the online presentation process ahead of time to minimize distractions when meeting with Ameritas.
"We walked through how to set up the PowerPoint on Zoom and appointed people to talk," said Fricker. "The meeting helped our team become experts on how to use Zoom and gave us confidence to present. As a team leader, I learned to plan ahead by setting due dates and come to team meetings with an agenda."
Jacqueline Dam, a senior marketing major from Seward, Nebraska, who already earned a degree in psychology, took on a positive attitude toward moving to a remote learning environment. She thinks that mindset helped make a good impression.
"Virtual meetings are only abnormal if you don't treat it how you would a normal in-person meeting," said Dam. "My group was highly collaborative, and that's why we were able to achieve the completion of the project despite unique challenges."
Dam, who works for her family's business Alterrain and interns at Sandhills Global in Lincoln, believes in letting the technology facilitate greater achievement than teams would be able to accomplish without it.
"Zoom will be very effective moving forward even once we return to normal. My group has been able to do quick meet-ups in order to discuss things quickly when needed. That wouldn't be possible if we needed to meet in-person," she said.
Fricker credits Simon and her other professors for making remote learning a successful experience. She believes the radical change might end up being beneficial in the long run.
"I hope remote learning does change some aspects of education. Zoom learning can help more classes like this one interact with companies in other states. It also would be nice to have Zoom lectures when the weather is too harsh so classes won't be canceled," said Fricker.
Korte endorsed the achievements of students and continues to see a place for partnering with Nebraska Business.
"I emailed our CEO and the rest of senior management to express how impressed I was with the students," said Korte. "While it is difficult to replace an in-person meeting, they showed incredible preparedness, flexibility and adaptability. The future looks very bright with the talent at the College of Business."

Posts Tagged 'Killer Mike'
Posted: November 8, 2014 in Alternative, ATL Love, Hip Hop, Music Event, Review
Tags: Atlanta, El-P, Killer Mike, RTJ, Run the Jewels, Run the jewels 2, The Masquerade
Run the Jewels is becoming hip hop's most redemptive act. Unapologetic, brash, witty, and raw, Killer Mike and El-P have created a sound that eclipses mainstream hip hop's current blueprint of trendy beats and superficial content. The two are ushering in a model of varied experimentation with their lyrics and El-P's production. RTJ recently dropped their sophomore album and the response has been outstanding. Murals, super fans supporters, and their own trill hand sign complement the movement these guys are creating all over the country. I went to their sold out show in Atlanta at the Masquerade a few nights ago and it was one of the most high energy performances I've experienced this year.
The space was packed full of wild, raucous Run the Jewels fans. Once Mike and El hit the stage, along with their DJ Trackstar, it was over an hour of moshing, jumping and 'bow throwing in the crowd. Which is exactly what Run the Jewels is all about: cutting up, letting loose, giving not a nan one fuck, then going back to your 9-5 gig and home to your babies. But these dudes aren't just wilin' out. In a (unfairly) rare display of masculine affection, the homies took the time to acknowledge a collaboration that's blossomed into a true friendship. The product of that friendship was grandly displayed on that stage through their complementary rhyming styles and their engagement of the audience. Never a waning moment, the crowd went stupid when Big Boi came out for "Banana Clipper." Unfortunately, his mic sabotaged his appearance and we heard no bars. His face in the place was good enough for most though.
Along with "Banana Clipper," the guys pulled damn near all of their two album discography out, including "Sea Legs," "Blockbuster Night," "36" Chain," "Lie, Cheat, Steal," and still some more.
Moral of this story: if Run the Jewels comes banging through your city this year and next, you would be a damn fool not to check them out.

When Killer Mike enlisted El-P to take over the production on his 2012 album, R.A.P. Music, hip hop was not fully prepared for what that collaboration would come to beget. Soon, the duo birthed Run the Jewels and really fucked folks' heads up. Their self-titled debut was an immediate favorite amongst critics and fans of the rappers. So, it's no surprise that their follow-up was highly anticipated. Behold, Run the Jewels 2. Originally set to drop on October 27, the early leak had the Internet going wild. And rightfully so. This project is quintessential hip hop: raw lyrics, experimental production, and varying concepts. What I dig most about this album is the range of the topics and unexpected but appropriate collaborations. Folks like Gangsta Boo, Travis Barker, and Rage Against The Machine's Zack de la Rocha all show up and show out. Audio Gumbo's favorite tracks: Blockbuster Night Part 1, Angel Duster and Love Again (Akinyele Back).

Such a cold interpretation of Run the Jewels' title track. Animated by equally maniacal Ruff Mercy, the visuals for Run the Jewels feature El-P, Killer Mike and their DJ, Trackstar, with glowing Hulk-green skin and menacing grins. These boys go hard and it's kinda intimidating. Phony ass rap cats, beware. Straight up, when Killa Kill says 'run the jewels,' gon' and run 'em.

Here's some season's greetings from the rap dynamic duo Run the Jewels (Killer Mike + El-P). "A Christmas Fucking Miracle" comes from their self-titled album, which will be re-released as a deluxe edition (featuring bonus and remixed tracks and new artwork) on January 13th. The visuals for the song contain some twisted Christmas references–awkward holiday poses in ugly sweaters, a grown ass Tiny Tim, Santa with an attitude, and a wild stuffed squirrel in a manger. Oh, and that guitar solo? Just nasty. Get the eggnog and Jack out and enjoy your Christmas gift from RTJ.

I leave you with four words/I'm glad Reagan's dead
Audio Gumbo favorite Killer Mike has done it again. On the cusp of the presidential debate night, the visuals for R.A.P Music's most politically charged and conspiratorial track "Reagan" were released. In the same vein as the song, the video is sharp with scathing commentary and dark symbolism. Personally, I think "Reagan" is one of Mike's best. He's incredibly insightful with a dead-on delivery. I'll tell you again, if you don't have R.A.P. Music, what the fuck are you waiting for??

Everybody's favorite "conscious" rapper returns with a little gift to whet your appetite before the release of Prisoner of Conscious. Talib Kweli joined forces with producer Z-Trip and Attack the Block is the result. With so many repeat-worthy tracks, it's hard to narrow down the highlights of the mixtape. Guests include Black Thought, Styles P, Killer Mike, Mac Miller, Corey Mo, Ab-Soul, John Forte, Skyzoo, Das Racist, Lil Wayne, Jessica Care Moore and quite a few more. Hopefully, POC with prove to be just as diverse.

L.A.-bred MC Thurz has been teasing us with singles from his new mixtape 517 W Queen Tape for a few weeks now. At last, the final project has dropped and it's well worth the wait. This new tape is just the precursor to Blood on the Canvas, the follow-up to the finely crafted L.A. Riot. 517 has a more upbeat vibe but still maintains Thurz's penchant for that "keep it 100" flow. Guests include BJ the Chicago Kid, my dude Killer Mike, Aleon Craft, Johnny Polygon, Rich Kidd, Rocki Evans, and Tuki Carter.

I know what y'all are thinking: "Damn, girl! Another Killer Mike post?? You on the payroll or somethin??" It's not my fault. Really. If the man wasn't dropping such prolific gems all over the place, his presence would be much more scarce around these parts. But he done done it again. From R.A.P. Music, one of the best albums of 2012, Killer Mike goes straight art history major in his new video "Untitled," directed by Benjamin Dickinson. It's only fitting, considering the rich, historical subjects mentioned throughout the track. Visually impressive, the images possess a haunting quality while commanding respect and acknowledgement.

Take A First Look At Pamela Anderson's Long-Awaited Documentary
By Grazia
A release date has also been revealed

Following the release of Pam & Tommy – a series deemed award-worthy but criticised for questionable ethics – Pamela Anderson announced the release of a tell-all documentary earlier this year. A chance to tell her story, in her own way. Now, Netflix has revealed a first look and released date to the new film titled Pamela, a love story.
Directed by Ryan White and co-produced by Anderson's son with whom she shares with ex Tommy Lee, Brandon Lee, the documentary has been many years in the making and is set to premiere on January 31. The first look shares a series of unseen photographs of Anderson as a child and young adult, to the early years of her son's birth and more recent pictures.
Anderson shared a teaser of the documentary in March with a hand-written letter reading: "My life. A thousand imperfections. A million misperceptions. Wicked, wild and lost. Nothing to live up to. I can only surprise you — Not a victim, but a survivor & Alive to tell the real story."
A post shared by Pamela Anderson 🌸 (@pamelaanderson)
Netflix also said in a statement in early 2022 that Pamela, a love story, "has been in the making for several years, and will feature the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and her personal journey."

Anderson never directly addressed the Hulu series Pam & Tommy but according to a source for Entertainment Tonight, the actress found it "painful" to relive.
"It is shocking that this series is allowed to happen without her approval," an insider told the outlet. "Pamela has no regrets about her life, but the only thing she would probably erase is this burglary. She feels so violated to this day. It brings back a very painful time for her. Tommy feels fine about the series coming out and is excited to see it. He still doesn't understand how this incident impacts Pamela differently from himself."

Administrative Court of Appeal of Lyon: "the court is a little underemployed" according to Gilles Hermitte
Administrative courts are not required by law to hold a hearing, as are criminal courts: "It is a choice that we adopt to give a little more visibility and solemnity to our activities, explains the president of the administrative court of appeal of Lyon, Gilles Hermitte. It is a project that we had before the Covid period, and that we are concretizing this year.
Administrative Court of Appeal of Lyon: 2nd mock trial
A decrease in the number of registered cases
The Chairman took stock of the volume of cases registered, and was surprised at the drop observed over the period from 1uh November 2021 to October 31, 2022 compared to the same period 2020-2021 with 4049 registered cases (-4.17%). This is the lowest figure since 2014. LThe courts are stable (+0.3%).
"This raises questions about the state of society. We are not sure how to analyze this figure. The size of the Court could absorb more cases. Our organization is currently a little understaffed, while our staff is fully satisfactory "The economic and social context may explain why plaintiffs and defendants do not initiate more appeals. Down this year, the appeal rate is 18% on decisions of administrative courts against 21% previously," noted Gilles Hermitte.
Over the 2021-2022 period, 4,180 cases were judged (+8.74%); 4,370 files are in stock; it takes 12 months and 16 days of foreseeable time for judgment, i.e. a decrease of 45 days compared to 2021. Litigation by foreigners represents 53% of cases registered; tax litigation 9%; the civil service 10%; the environment 11%; other business 17%.
A collegial mode of operation
The court also examines the applications forlegal aid : "1,700 requests were heard at the court over the period 2021-2022. The court is called upon to rule on all requests from all courts within the jurisdiction."
Nearly two thirds of the court's decisions are taken collectively, the remaining third taken by orders. "This situation is the opposite of the four administrative courts of jurisdiction which take collegial decisions in 33 to 39% of the requests, complements the president. The rest being carried out by magistrates acting alone, with a high proportion of summary proceedings. It is an important specificity of administrative courts of appeal to maintain a high proportion of collegiality. In addition, the obligation of a lawyer before the court greatly facilitates the transmission of requests to the registry".
As a reminder, the administrative court of appeal and the administrative courts do not have a relationship of subordination.
The administrative court of Lyon has seven bedrooms. It covers the territory of the former Burgundy region and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It employs 85 people including 36 magistrates, 45 court clerks and 4 court assistants.

It seems incredible, but none of therecent commemorations of the sinking of the Titanic have ever highlighted the fact that, a hundred years ago, one of the major international fashion designers of the time was onboard the night the liner hit the iceberg.
Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon, an extraordinary British couturier, innovator and businesswoman was traveling to do business in America—she had set up a house in New York in 1909, and Chicago in 1911, the year before the Titanic sailed. Perhaps—it is not recorded—Lucile was crossing the Atlantic to bring her spring couture collection to America. She certainly was traveling with her husband, Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, and her maid, Laura Mabel Francatelli, known as "Franks." All three were saved on Lifeboat No. 1, one of the last to leave.
In her harrowing testimony to a British inquiry into the disaster, Lucile described the horrific panic breaking out by the time her boat was lowered. "Everyone seemed to be rushing for that boat. A few men who crowded in were turned back at the point of Captain Smith's revolver, and several of them were felled before order was restored. I recall being pushed towards one of the boats and being helped in," she said, according to the Mirror newspaper.
Scandalously, though, that first lifeboat, which was built to hold 40 people, left with only twelve on board. Most were crew. According to unverified press reports, when the ship went down, Lucile turned to Franks and said, "There goes your lovely nightgown." The story goes that the angry crewmen protested that they had lost their livelihoods, upon which Duff Gordon handed each of them £5. Later, however, his action came under suspicion, construed as bribing the crew not to turn around and save more people.
This poignant footnote to the Titanic disaster has been uncovered by Joanna Hashagen, a curator at the Bowes Museum in County Durham in the north of England, through the story of a bride, Linda Beatrice Morritt, a glamorously adventurous girl who had ordered an exquisite silk and lace wedding dress from Lucile in London, just before the couturier took the fated transatlantic voyage.
In an evocative exhibition, "Lucile–Fashion Designer, Titanic Survivor," the Lucile dress—the height of fashion, with its narrow, cascading, diaphanous flounces of shimmering satin and pearls—is displayed in almost perfect condition, in its original box, just as it was delivered to the bride for her marriage to a dashing aristocratic aviator, William Rhodes-Moorhouse. Even more rivetingly, Linda's photographs of her wedding are also on show, accompanied by a remarkable record of her notes and souvenirs, including a marked-up program noting her favorite dresses from the Lucile fashion show she'd attended in London in March, just a month before the couturier's departure on the doomed ship. The bride pasted in a newspaper cutting about the disaster, showing a photograph of the Titanic above portraits of some of the survivors, Lucile included.
Despite the scandal which erupted in the press in both America and Britain around the behavior of the Duff Gordons, Linda Morritt insisted on wearing her Lucile dress down the aisle in a Knightsbridge church only two months after the disaster. Her reaction went hand in hand with the support from loyal customers shown to Lady Duff Gordon when she appeared, wearing a black veiled hat and purple-lined coat at the disaster inquiry on May 17: The hearing was packed with society ladies, dressed to the hilt in Lucile.
The Duff Gordons were exonerated. Though Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon never lived it down, his wife's business continued to flourish. After setting up more outposts in Chicago and Paris, she went on to design costumes for the Ziegfeld Follies. And Linda Morritt's story has a happy ending, too: Having stayed at the Savoy Hotel on her wedding night, she and her new husband thought they should do something special for their honeymoon, so on August 4, 1912, they made the first three-person flight across the English Channel in a bi-plane. (The third person was a journalist.) Their plane crashed on landing, but no one was hurt.

6 Questions for Minister Wilkinson About Salmon Closures in British Columbia
The most restrictive fishing closures in 23 years were issued in May 2019 by Minister Wilkinson. The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson is the current Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard.
In early July, concerned anglers in British Columbia contacted the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Minister Wilkinson, and their Members of Parliament. They were worried about a lack of support for the fisheries on the West Coast. The feedback these groups received was usually a canned response, reiterating the same mass-produced platitudes they had heard before.
This inaction is troubling to anglers.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada have a track record of being slow to respond. When they do consult with anglers, they are averse to new ideas, research and management options.
Again, Keep Canada Fishing is asking why the concerns of anglers are ignored?
A few questions for Minister Wilkinson:
The South Vancouver Island Anglers Coalition has been committed to the recovery of Chinook salmon for 3 years. They have a record of success. Why then, have you rejected their 6 new projects, which would dramatically increase food for Southern Resident Killer Whales and offer alternatives to harmful fishing closures?
The most recent evidence suggests that stock recovery through restoration programs — strengthened habitat protection and up-to-date hatchery tech — is the best hope for the survival of Chinook salmon and predators like Southern Resident Killer Whales. What scientific evidence does the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada use to justify sweeping closures of recreational fishing in vast parts of British Columbia?
Why did DFO fail to respond quickly or effectively when Chinook numbers began to decline 20 years ago?
DFO has made anglers the scapegoat. Why is DFO relying on ineffective restrictions as the only recovery tools?
Why are these restrictions maintained when salmon populations are not as low as predicted? By allowing anglers to retain one marked (or hatchery) Chinook, the wild salmon fishery would still be protected.
Are these harmful closures in the West a taste of what is to come for the rest of Canada?
Fake science misleads the media and all of us. Why is the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) ignoring credible scientific data? This is an ongoing issue that we will be reporting on as the threat of fishing closures arise across the country. Coastal B.C. is only the beginning.
Keep Canada Fishing is the national voice of Canada's anglers, and we lead the effort to preserve your right to fish. We are your voice on Parliament Hill. If you would like to contribute to our efforts to "Keep Canada Fishing," you can donate now via PayPal.
We also invite you to review the Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association's document, Elevating Recreational Fishing to a National Priority, for more details about this very important topic.

After Yellowstone grizzlies were removed from the threatened species list in 2017, the states of Idaho and Wyoming decided to allow hunting the species.
In 2017 the federal government removed Endangered Species Act protections for Yellowstone-area grizzlies. Soon after, Idaho and Wyoming decided to allow people to hunt them.
But environmental groups and tribes sued over the delisting. A federal judge is taking his time making a decision and just extended the hunting ban for another two weeks.
Matthew Bishop is an attorney for the plaintiffs. He says this is a good sign.
"The more time the court spends looking at the legal issues and the best available science I think the better chances my clients have to prevail in the case," Bishop says.
Wyoming wildlife official Rebekah Fitzgerald hopes the species is not re-listed. She says her state has a strong grizzly conservation plan, "... for not only the bear populations as a whole, but that also allows for a conservative hunting season."
Before the hunting ban took effect, Wyoming and Idaho approved around two dozen bears to be killed outside Yellowstone's boundaries.

Coronavirus and religion – daily update 21 March
Continuing our round up of news on the impact of the coronavirus on religion:
In the UK
At 8am on Sunday March 22nd, the Archbishop of Canterbury will lead a virtual church service, broadcast on all BBC local radio stations. Including prayers, hymns and a sermon, the service will help to fill the void caused by churches closing down due to the coronavirus.
Leo Devine, former Head of BBC South West, says it's no surprise that the service is on BBC local radio, as it is the 'beating heart' of the BBC with a deeply held mission of serving communities. In a comment piece for the Religion Media Centre, he says: "At a time when church services are suspended throughout the country and most people are socially distanced or even isolated at home, where better than the local airwaves of the BBC to provide that spiritual support and to put a collective arm around local communities everywhere."
The service will be broadcast also on BBC Radio 4 at 8.10am and on Facebook at 9am. Subsequent services will reflect all denominations.
Two Christian festivals have been cancelled due to the virus – New Wine's United and Luminosity events in July and Spring Harvest in April. In both cases, organisers appealed to people who had bought tickets to give a donation instead, for fear of financial ruin.
Some mosques in Britain were open for Friday prayers, including in Leicester, where the mosque belongs to the Federation of Muslim Organisations. Following criticism, the Federation issued a statement on Saturday (21 March) strongly recommending that Muslim institutions suspend services, in order to protect one another from harm.
Muslim News has postponed its annual awards ceremony from March 30th until late summer. It usually attracts 500 guests with top speakers.
In America, the Christian network CBN news is reporting that President Trump, Vice President Pence and Housing Secretary Ben Carson spoke to hundreds of pastors in a conference call on Friday afternoon, asking them to pray for stamina and the health of our country. They are reported to have discussed compliance with guidelines to curb the spread of the coronavirus and came up with an idea to hold "drive in" worship services.
Mosques around the world were empty for Friday prayers, including in Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Kuwait and Malaysia. In Saudi Arabia, the two grand mosques in Mecca and Medina were granted an exception and remained open for prayer.
In Rio de Janeiro, the Assembly of God Victory in Christ Pentecostal church successfully went to court to keep open, with the judge ruling there was no law restricting its activities. This was despite the Public Prosecutor seeking to suspend church activities following government advice to stop crowds assembling.
And finally – a Roman Catholic priest in Utah is offering people the opportunity of a drive in confession. Father Stephen Tilley will sit in his jeep and invite parishioners to park next to him, giving their confession through open windows, after which he will offer the sacrament.

Home Entertainment Outriders updates the demo, which already has 2 million players
Outriders updates the demo, which already has 2 million players
People Can Fly will update the demo of Outriders to address player activity and correct mistakes. A major change will make it harder to farm legendary items in the demo, after players discover a 'loot cave' amid other unwanted feats.
The full patch notes can be found on Reddit, where a Square Enix representative notes that the popular demo has already been downloaded by more than 2 million players since its release on February 25, 2021.
The patch, which will arrive later today, will adjust health stats and prevent players from being able to farm legendary items with an exploit that players had discovered. What People Can Fly have done is basically fix the situation so that those chests no longer drop legendary loot. Also, stores and vendors will not present such items either. Alternatively, repeating side quests will now offer a chance to earn Legendary loot, to incentivize a more honest farming method. The publication notes that some of the exploits found were not "within the spirit of the game", so the developers are intervening.
People Can Fly also warned that those who have already used the exploits in the demo could see their progression affected in the main game when it launches next month. "While we have balanced the main game with a certain progression system, this progression can be affected by the large amount of gear and / or mods in the demo.", the publication reads. "As some players are achieving a lot (for example by acquiring multiple Legendary items) within the demo content, their experience of parts of the main game may be affected.".
See also Twitch desactiva el canal de Donald Trump
A patch that will be released early next week will also add requested features such as a Motion Blur feature, and will implement adjustments to load time and frame rate, as well as fix various crashes on all platforms.
On the other hand, looking ahead, People Can Fly is looking at a number of issues to address, including camera shake in game scenes, items disappearing from player inventories, and players cheating.
Remember that Outriders will be released on April 1 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Of course, the demo is available on all these platforms. Oh, and on top of that it has Cross Game.

Blech v Blech
Case Alerts Trusts and Estates Case Alerts Trusts and Estates Section
Cite as B288074
Filed August 15, 2019, Second District
By Daniel C. Kim
Weintraub Tobin Chediak Coleman Grodin Law Corporation
www.weintraub.com
Headnote: Trusts – Judgment Creditors' Rights Against Future Distributions – Timing of Petition
Summary: Future Distributions of Trust Principal May be Subject to Judgment Creditors When Due and Payable, Regardless of When Petition To Enforce is Filed.
Richard Blech is the beneficiary of a spendthrift trust created by his father. Following his father's death, the trust estate was divided into four unequal shares between Richard and his three siblings. The trust provides for mandatory quarterly distributions of income and annual distributions of principal. After their father passed away, the four siblings had several disputes that were ultimately settled with Richard agreeing to pay various sums of money to his three siblings. Richard then breached the deadline to make those payments and his siblings, in 2016, obtained a court order compelling the trustee to pay 25% of Richard's future trust distributions to his sibling creditors in satisfaction of the monies owed. Following the Supreme Court's decision in Carmack v. Reynolds in 2017, the creditors all filed petitions to enforce their money judgments against the unencumbered 75% of Richard's future distributions. Richard opposed the petitions arguing, inter alia, that no amount was "due and payable" at the time of the hearing (3 days before the trust distribution was due), the court lacked authority to make an order regarding future distributions of principal, and the trust was a "support trust" requiring additional evidentiary hearings regarding necessary support. The Court took the matter under submission and issued an order 9 days later granting the petitions.
The appellate court affirmed. Richard's argument that a creditor may not file a petition to enforce a money judgment until after a disbursement is due and payable was not supported by the language of the relevant statute. The statute allowed such an order regardless of when the petition itself is filed. The court did not abuse its discretion to order the trustee to delay the future trust distribution until it ruled on the petitions because the trial court had broad inherent powers to take the matter under submission and order the trustee to delay distribution, notwithstanding Richard's request that it rule from the bench. Lastly, the trust was not a "support trust" because the distributions of income and principal were mandatory, whereas a "support trust" requires the trustee "to pay or apply no more than is necessary to educate or support the beneficiary."
