One of the big benefits of keeping your technology current is that routine tasks get a LOT easier. One prime example is adding a printer.
If you're bringing in a laptop from home and you need to print in your office, or if you've just bought a new printer, getting ready to print in Windows 7 is easy.
To add a printer, hit the "Start" button on your system (windows logo in the lower left hand corner of your screen), and select "Devices and Printers". From there, select "Add a Printer". You'll have two options: (1) Select a Local Printer - this would be for a non-USB printer connected directly to your system. Windows automatically installs USB printers when you plug them in! (2) Add a network, wireless, or BlueTooth printer. This would be the standard configuration working in an office environment.
Its just a few more mouse clicks to install the printer. You'll see a list of available printers on the network, and when you select the one you want, Windows will find the driver for you. The "driver" is the software that tells your computer how to print to a specific printer.
In Windows 7, you'll see that installing a printer is a quick task, and you'll be thankful that your technology is up to date (or the task would take a lot longer).

Kinfonet Quote of the Day: As a man takes refuge in the rationalized conclusion [that all things must decay], and thereby softens his suffering, so by taking refuge in a belief, in a supposed fact, you also deaden the action of sorrow.
We are not disputing as to whether reincarnation is a fact or not. To me this is utterly irrelevant. When you are diseased, hungry, facts do not relieve suffering, do not satisfy hunger.
One can take hope in a future ideal state, but hunger will still continue. The fear of death and the sorrow it brings will continue even in spite of the supposed fact of reincarnation; unless, of course, one lives in complete illusion.

Blog Finish
Since October 2013 I have been reviewing Big Finish audios for www.planetmondas.com - and now all my reviews are collected here, please take your time to have a read.
DARK SHADOWS - HAUNTING MEMORIES
In this 50th anniversary year of Dark Shadows we have been treated to a 50th anniversary special and tow short story anthologies, the second of these is "Haunting Memories" and it is what I will be talking about shortly.
If you are not aware of Dark Shadows, it was a daily soap opera shown in the USA from the late 1960's to early 1970's - it always had a gothic sort of "Rebecca" feel to it, very downbeat and gloomy as we were introduced to the Collins family and their crumbling stately home Collinwood - and then it steps up a gear when Barnabas Collins the Vampire is introduced - from that point stories slip back and forth in time, even in to parallel universes and it truly becomes "cult".
Big Finish have picked up the reigns of this long abandoned but fondly remembered piece of Americana and have produced a top quality range with more to come in 2017, but thats the future - lets go back to Haunting Memories….
Four short stories very much in the style of the Doctor Who "Short Trips" range where an actor from the TV series narrates a short interlude of a story an almost insignificant incident that has ramifications for the characters involved - and here we are lucky that Big FInish have chosen four of the most interesting characters in the Dark Shadows universe - Josette, Trask, Angelique & Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard and four pivotal moments in their lives, we begin with Josette.
Hell Wind by Marcy Robin
A hurricane is in the process of devastating the island where the young Josette Du Res lives - sometimes a natural phenomenon can bring much more misery and despair than a supernatural one - and the effects of this particular storm will blight Josette's life and change it forever. Its a claustrophobic beginning to the set and is set a long time before the main events of Dark Shadows so might not seem relevant to a casual listener, but to the seasoned veteran who knows Josette's history this is a pivotal moment.
Communion by Adam Usden
I always liked the Reverend Trask (Jerry Lacey), well, liked isn't really the right word - I found his character fascinating. here he plays Reverend Elias Trask, father to Gregory Trask as he dispenses his own unique brand of self righteous "goodness" throughout the American Civil War. Here Trask rescues a prostitute from her place of work and is pursued by her owner, his son Gregory is shot in the chest and they are forced to hide out in a church - as Trask prays to his God for aid and redemption, something altogether different answers his prayers. Another pivotal moment for a Dark Shadows character - this is the moment that the Dark Lord enters the history of the Trask family, there is a feeling of inevitability from Trask's prayer at the beginning to the repeated prayer at the end - fatalistic and inevitable, a fall from grace of the highest order, a triumph of arrogance and hypocrisy personified, my highlight of the set.
The Ghost Ship by Lara Parker
Not one but Lara Parker can play Angelique Bouchard, and really no one can write for Angelique like Lara Parker can. She knows Angelique, she has symbiosis with the character - she has played her for so long and written novels about her and truly inhabits Angelique, so who else to write the Angelique story & play Angelique but Lara Parker.
When Angelique hears ghosts on the beach crying for their loved ones lost at sea she feels sympathy with them, when they promise to restore Barnabas Collins love for her in return for her restoring their lost loves lives it is a bargain too good to resist.
Its a "be careful what you wish for" story that is quite continuity heavy, we need to know who Barnabas is, who Nicolas Blair is and why Angelique is a ghost - a story that again will reward long time listeners but may leave the uninitiated slightly lost.
A Face from the Past by Kay Stonham
When Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard returns to Collinsport she sees a man she recognises, the old love of her life Victor, but he has not changed, he has not aged in all the years that have passed since they were young lovers. What follows is a downward spiral of confession, revelations and almost a catharsis and an acceptance of what has been. We get a harrowing insight into the life of Elizabeth before she was a Collins and the life that she could have had with Victor had circumstances been different. This story really embodies the bleak melancholy that embodied the early episodes of Dark Shadows, I listened in black and white if you know what I mean - the whole episode has a noir feel and a feeling of regret that should not really have resurfaced.
Four very different tales with a very definite linking theme - Haunting Memories is a very apt title for the set because memories are very powerful things and can consume you - a backward looking set focussed on nostalgia, and nostalgia does not always leave a warm glow, sometimes it leaves a gaping hole. 8/10.
Written by Ed Watkinson
This title was released in December 2016. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until January 31st 2016, and on general sale after this date.
Four tales of horror, romance and intrigue…
A young Josette Du Pres is terrified for her life as a deadly hurricane smashes into the island of Martinique. She rushes for shelter but she's not the only one fighting to survive…
1861 and War rages across America. The preacher Elias Trask and his young son Gregory, are hiding from men who wish to kill them. But something else is already in their hiding place…
The warlock Nicholas Blair has transformed the witch Angelique into a vampire to serve him. Her love for Barnabas Collins, though, will never die…
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard is returning to her home town of Collinsport. But on the train, she is stunned to see the young man who was once the love of her life. Could he also have returned to the town that once tore them apart?

VCN - The Ministry of Health is accelerating the implementation of the National Single Window mechanism for handling administrative procedures for people and businesses. It is expected to simplify, cut 72% of the conditions on investment, business and administrative procedures in the health sector.
Will over 1,500 business conditions in medical field be abolished and amended?
Why has the Ministry of Health not connected NSW with medical equipment type B, C and D?
Particularly, the equipment has 15,000 kinds of products with different levels of risk.
At the consultation seminar on the report on assessment and review of administrative procedures in the field of medical equipment on November 21st, 2018, Mr. Ha Anh Duc, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Health's office said that the Ministry of Health has attempted to reform administrative procedures, simplify procedures in the specialized inspection, particularly in food safety, reducing by 810/815 procedures, accounting for 98% of the total imported food shipments which are not subject to specialized inspection at border gates, but are subject to post-clearance and post-marketing inspections in accordance with the application of Decree No. 15/2018 / ND-CP.
Mr. Duc added the Ministry of Health is setting up and operating an administrative service to speed up the implementation of the National Single Window mechanism in handling administrative procedures for people. At the same time, accelerating the application of online public services at level 4; particularly, reducing 72% of conditions on investment, business and administrative procedures in the health sector, including the amendment and supplementation of some articles of Government Decree No. 36/2016 / ND-CP on medical equipment management.
However, he also admitted that some administrative procedures still affect the efforts of the Health sector in resolutely creating a favorable business environment. The handling of dossiers is delayed and over the time limit. There is a lack of communication in handling administrative procedures.
Mr. Duc assumed that this situation is because during the development of institutions, legal documents and law, the consultation with related parties as well as assessment of impact of administrative, business conditions and list of goods subject to specialized inspection were not focused.
Particularly, only medical equipment has 15,000 kinds, each of which has different levels of risk, is not limited to production materials and is not designated for use purpose. Hence, good management of medical equipment requires a clear classification of risk levels based on development of medical equipment lists which should be updated regularly to ensure the feasibility and facilitation to businessess, and to strengthen the State management on the medical equipment.
From the reality, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Director of Department of Medical Equipment and Health Works under the Ministry of Health, said that the Ministry has held many seminars to consult State management agencies such as General Department of Customs and enterprises on the amendments and supplements of Decree No. 36/2016 / ND-CP, which is expected to be submitted to the Government by the end of November, 2018.
According to Nguyen Minh Tuan, the general objective of this decree is to minimize administrative procedures, to create the most favorable conditions and resolutely prevent the raising of sub-licenses.
Regarding new points of administrative procedures and management in the draft Decree amending Decree No. 36/2016 / ND-CP, according to Pham Trung Kien, Department of Medical Equipment and Health Works: This Decree shall amend and supplement provisions related to medical equipment and raw materials for the production of medical equipment containing narcotic substances and pre-substances on the principle of meeting provisions of this Decree and complying with provisions of Law on drug prevention and fight.
In addition, the Decree also adds procedures for the issuance of practising certificate for classification of medical equipment so as to enhance the quality management of the classification, because this is the first step and is a decisive factor for the quality management. At the same time simplifying the procedures for disclosure of eligibility for medical equipment classification. It requires only one condition and only one person having a practising certificate for medical equipment classification.
This revised Decree is also to simplify the procedures for disclosure of eligibility of medical equipment production in the direction of eliminating the conditions of infrastructure, equipment and personnel, but only requiring the application of quality management system ISO.
At the same time, the draft Decree also supplements the cases which are granted circulation number in a short time, within 30 days since the date of receiving the application including 2 cases.
The second case is that medical equipment was granted import license or circulation certificate before December 31st 2019, and supplied and used at health facilities through contracts executed within at least 2 years prior to the time of submission of the application for new circulation number without being warned about the quality and safety in the use process.
A new point of this draft Decree, is that medical equipment types B, C, D are not on the list of import permits to be continued import until December 31st 2019, without confirmation by the Ministry of Health for customs clearance.
In addition, in this draft Decree, the Ministry of Health stipulates that medical equipment products for in vitro diagnostic that have been granted a circulation certificate in accordance with the provisions of the Pharmacy Law 2005 and its guiding documents, the granted circulation number is valid until the time shown on the circulation certificate. Particularly for product circulation numbers for in vitro diagnostic which are invalid after January 1st, 2019, and before December 31st, 2019, are allowed to use until December 31st, 2019.
Regarding licenses for import, export and temporary import for export, under the draft Decree, for cases requiring import licenses, in addition to 8 conditions described in Decree 36, enterprises must meet the requirements on operational software of medical equipment which is firstly imported to Vietnam, excepting the case where the software has been integrated with medical equipment and the case where the software has been granted import license or integrated with medical equipment which has been granted circulation certificate or import license.
For the provision on exemption for inspection for the first time before putting medical equipment in to use, the Ministry of Health stipulates that medical equipment shall be exempted from inspection for the first time before being put into use if they fall into one of the following cases: Medical equipment has been granted technical regulation certificate; imported medical equipment has not been granted circulation certificate for purposes of scientific research or testing or training, guidance on the use, maintenance and repair of other medical equipment; and imported medical equipment has not been granted circulation number for individual health treatment of the importer, or for the purpose of humanitarian health examination, or for special diagnostic needs.


The Tatra National Park (TANAP in short) is the oldest of nine national parks in Slovakia. It is located in the mountain range called the Tatras, in the north of Slovakia, near the Slovak-Polish border. On the Polish side, the national park has a smaller "brother" – Tatrzański Park Narodowy.
The Tatra National Park stretches on an area of 738 km², its buffer zone occupies 307.03 km², which makes 1045.03 km² in total. There are more than 600 km of tourist trails and 16 marked and maintained cycle routes in the park. The highest peaks of Slovakia can be found here, including Mt. Gerlachovský štít (2,655 m) – ranked one in the list. The national park is significant due to its manifold flora and fauna with various endemic species including Tatra chamois and marmots.
Almost two thirds of the park are covered with forests, mainly spruce and fir trees. The most common species include the Norway spruce, Scots pine, Swiss pine, European larch and dwarf mountain pine. Broad-leaved trees, mainly maple trees, grow mainly in the Belianske Tatra Mts. There are more than 1,300 vascular plants growing in the national park, including 57 endemic species that only occur in the Carpathians, 41 in the Western Tatras and 37 in the Tatras. Significant endemic species include Erysimum wahlenbergii, Cochlearia tatrae, Erigeron hungaricus and others.
There are 155 bird species, 42 mammal species, 8 reptile species, 3 amphibian species and many invertebrates living in the national park. The mammals include e.g. the brown bear, Tatra marmot and Eurasian lynx.


"Everything changes; nothing remains without change", said Siddhartha Gautama, while Harry Rowohlt held that at least Nothingness remains immutable. In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse observed that "the opposite of every truth is just as true", an insight gleaned from Buddhist catechisms. It seems that all the world's most profound thinkers—from Buddha to Socrates, from the Zen masters to Lao Tse—eventually arrive at the same conclusion: wisdom is rife with contradictions and truth cannot be compressed into words. Yet there is a steady flood of literature flaunting purportedly eternal truths, from self-help books down to proverbs and bon mots on calendars, aphorisms on greeting cards and quotes shared online. Smart-alec one-liners ring out from speeches and lectures—in short, pearls of wisdom are ubiquitous. Dietmar Bittrich offers a powerful antidote for all this enlightenment-mongering by juxtaposing contradictory wisdoms.

Iraqi govt announcement delayed
3:45 pm on 21 December 2010
The long-awaited announcement of a new Iraqi government, which had been expected on Sunday or Monday, has been delayed.
There have been complex negotiations since an inconclusive general election in March.
The BBC reports that under the constitution, the cabinet must be in place by Saturday. There are 37 posts in all.
Each of the nominations still has to be approved by parliament.
Prime Minister Nouri Maliki had been expected to name his entire cabinet, except for three sensitive posts linked to national security.
But politicians said on Monday that as many as half of the ministerial positions were still undecided.
A spokesman said Mr Maliki would announce "half the new government" at a session of parliament on Monday.
The new cabinet is expected to include all the major factions, including the Kurds, Shia and Sunni Arabs. The BBC says it will be a delicate balancing act for Mr Maliki.


Department of Planning and Regional Development, Pedion Areos, Volos, Greece, Room A3.
The objectives of the event are to disseminate the main outcomes of the project among various stakeholders, to identify sustainable ways of their uptake in general and to discuss the main question: "Lecture hall – today, startup – tomorrow. Can we (digitally) learn how to start a company? Which new possibilities do new learning experiences, like MOOCs, Serious Games and Webinars, give us?".
Don't miss a chance to learn from the experienced entrepreneurs!

Planned giving is also referred to as gift planning or legacy giving. In a nutshell, it is a parishioner's intention to contribute a major gift to an organization, beyond their lifetime. So, unlike an annual gift (an outright gift made for current use), a planned gift is for the future. Essentially, parishioners make arrangements for planned gifts in the present but they are actually distributed at a later date. Additionally, the major gifts contributed by a parishioner can be made as a part of their financial or estate plans.
Planned gifts are not limited by a parishioner's current wealth. Upon one's passing, their accumulated wealth often exceeds the amount of one's regular income-based ability to support the church during life. That's why most planned gifts contributed by parishioners take the form of life insurance proceeds, stocks and bonds, or real estate holdings (among others).
The 1718 Society is St. Michael's way of recognizing parishioners who provide for the church's future in their planned giving. Click HERE to learn more about it.

The Zombies' Enduring Appeal
Rod Argent on the British band's revival, decades after first making it big
by Roger Catlin, AARP, August 23, 2021

When "Time of the Season" hit No. 3 on the Billboard U.S. singles chart in 1969, the band that recorded it wasn't even a band anymore. Shortly after releasing their 1968 psychedelic touchstone album, Odessey & Oracle, the Zombies had broken up. (Previous hits for this British Invasion group included "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No.") But 30 years later, the Zombies re-formed and started touring again, to receptive audiences. In 2019, they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 50 years to the day after "Time of the Season" hit its chart peak.
On Sept. 18, the Zombies will perform in a livestreaming concert from London's famous Abbey Road Studios. The band is also working on a new album. We talked with songwriter and keyboardist Rod Argent from his home in England (check out thezombiesmusic.com) about the Zombies' enduring appeal.
What did the Hall of Fame induction mean for the Zombies?
It's just so fantastic, because singer Colin Blunstone and I have just turned 76, and we feel great at the moment. We both know we're playing and singing as well as we ever have in our lives. And it's very exciting to be in that position. Most of my friends from the old days have retired.
What set you apart when you formed in 1961?
We were one of the bands who were always singing harmonies, even at that time, before the Beatles exploded onto the scene. We've always had three-part harmonies in our inventory.

The Zombies perform on BBC TV's "Top of the Pops" in September 1965.
Your keyboard solos — in songs from "She's Not There" to "Time of the Season" — had a jazzy feel. How did that come about?
The solos were absolutely all improvised. Inevitably, what is originally improvised starts to become a structure; it cements itself in place when you play it many, many times. I always try to bring something different each night, which gives a little bit of freshness.
Why did the band break up after releasing Odessey & Oracle?
Everyone in the band loved it, and we got some really good reviews, but nobody played it in the U.K. at all. Absolutely nobody. So we said, "We'll put one single out, and if it's not a hit, we'll break up." And "Care of Cell 44" came out. Nobody played it, it wasn't a hit, and we broke up.
What inspires you to put out new Zombies music today?
We've never wanted to live in the past, and we still don't now. And it's more exciting to go on the journey of creating a new song, developing it, seeing it start to work and having a great reaction from the audience. That was always the most exciting part when we were 18, and it's the most exciting thing for us now to have as well.

Marquette Athletics | February 14, 2014
Theis heads to Marquette after six seasons at Ohio
MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Theis has been named the fifth head coach in Marquette history, interim vice president and director of athletics Bill Cords announced Friday.
Theis, a 2000 Milwaukee graduate, returns to Milwaukee after a six-year tenure at Ohio, where he led the squad to a record of 144-54 (.727). That mark places him third in the history of the Mid-American Conference and 18th among all active NCAA Division I head coaches.
"We welcome Ryan as the new head coach of the Marquette volleyball program," Cords said. "Ryan has experienced success at every level of college volleyball with a proven track record as a head coach. He has worked his way up the coaching ladder and has seen success at every level. We were most impressed with how he has grown at every stage of his career and at the same time helped make the programs he worked for better. We are very confident in the future of Marquette volleyball under Ryan Theis."
Under his leadership, the Bobcats made four NCAA championship appearances, including a pair of trips to the second round (2009 and '10), and claimed four MAC tournament championships. Both NCAA second-round defeats came at the hands of seeded-hosts in pivotal fifth sets.
"I am excited to return to my home state and Marquette has always been a place where I knew I wanted to be," Theis said. "I am so thrilled that 15 years after I started my coaching career I am able to make that dream a reality. I have always had a great deal of respect for the University and love the city of Milwaukee. I am excited to compete for Big East championships and push deep into the NCAA tournament."
A two-time MAC Coach of the Year (2009 and '13), Theis mentored three AVCA All-Americans during his tenure in Athens and helped 13 players earn all-conference accolades, including three conference player of the year selections.
Theis, a native of Madison, leaves Ohio tied with current Ohio State head coach Geoff Carlston, whom he replaced in 2008, for the most victories in Bobcats' history with 144. He compiled a 79-17 (.823) record in league action at Ohio while winning three regular-season league titles (six East Division championships) and was a combined 28-4 during his final two conference campaigns.
His 2013 team, which featured AVCA All-Americans Abby Gilleland and Kelly Lamberti, finished 27-6 overall, swept No. 8 Oregon and No. 21 Western Kentucky, and climbed as high as 18th in the AVCA Coaches' Poll. The Bobcats also ranked 23rd nationally in attendance in 2013 as an average of 1,719 fans packed the Convocation Center.

Madagascar Emerges as New Whale Shark Hotspot
85 different sharks identified over a 4-month period
Having split from the Indian Subcontinent some 88 million years ago, Madagascar – the world's fourth-largest island – is a biodiversity hotspot, with its flora and fauna evolving in relative isolation from the rest of the world. Lemurs are undoubtedly the country's most famous residents, but in fact over 90% of Madagascar's wildlife is found nowhere else on earth. As a result, travellers here are assured of a unique safari experience, and tourism has become an important part of the Madagascan economy. Now new research has identified another animal – this time a migrant to Madagascar's shores – that is providing another avenue for wildlife tourism in the country: the whale shark
With the largest confirmed specimen measuring just over 40 ft in length and tipping the scales at more than 20 tonnes, there is no bigger fish in the ocean than the whale shark. Although usually solitary creatures that spend most of their lives in the open ocean, these huge filter-feeding animals are known to congregate in significant numbers at a few select locations around the world, including Djibouti, St Helena and the Galápagos Islands.
In May of this year, marine biologists published the results of research undertaken back in 2016, when a remarkable 85 individual whale sharks were identified in a single season close to the island of Nosy Be, off northwest Madagascar. "No-one thought there were that many [whale] sharks," said Stella Diamant of the Madagascar Whale Shark Project, lead author and project leader of the study. Intriguingly, all of the whale sharks recorded were juveniles, ranging from 11 to 26 ft in length. They had also all arrived in Madagascar's waters from further afield, although cross-referencing with a global database indicated that they had not migrated from Mozambique or other neighbouring areas. "They come back for the food," said Diamant, whose findings have established Madagascar as "an important seasonal habitat" for these young sharks.
Diamant and her fellow scientists attached satellite tags to eight of the whale sharks, and the team were pleased to find that half of the tagged sharks visited a second hotspot 180km to the south of Nosy Be, with five swimming northwest to Mayotte and the Comoros islands. One shark even swam right to the southern end of Madagascar, before returning to Nosy Be. Some were present in the area for several months, while three were spotted again during the 2017 season, having lost their tags. These findings cement Madagascar's role as a vital refuge for this endangered species. The population of Rhincodon typus has declined by around 50% over the past 75 years, reports the IUCN. In the Indo-Pacific, where the vast majority of whale sharks are found, this rate is thought to be even higher.
Whale sharks are currently afforded no formal protection in Madagascar, except in two Marine Protected Areas located to the southwest and northeast of Nosy Be. "'Over the last decade, shark populations have declined dramatically in Madagascar due to overfishing," said Dr. Jeremy J. Kiszka, a marine biologist and co-author of the recent study. "However, the most significant threat to this species is the incidental catch in coastal gillnets and industrial purse seiners operating offshore."
The reliable arrival of the whale sharks to Nosy Be between September and December has created a growing ecotourism industry, but to ensure this continues, protection for whale sharks must become more of a priority for Madagascar's lawmakers.
The aforementioned protected areas around Nosy Be are also home to a number of other large marine species, including manta rays, sea turtles and humpback whales. But the migratory nature of many of these creatures – as evidenced by the tagged whale sharks' movements – shows that many more such protected areas must be established if these marine species are to be safeguarded effectively.
Whale shark safaris are a great way of ensuring the species is worth more alive to local economies than it is dead. Study co-author Dr. Simon Pierce, co-founder and principal scientist at the Marine Megafauna Foundation, believes the sharks "can be a major asset" for Madagascar. To improve public perception of the species, the Madagascar Whale Shark Project also incorporates community engagement and education programs in their work.
If you'd like to travel to Nosy Be and take to the waters with the world's largest fish, you can speak to one of our Destination Specialists to start designing your own bespoke safari to this burgeoning whale shark destination. With Natural World Safaris, enthusiasts can also embark on a whale shark safari to St Helena or join marine photographer Joshua Barton on a free diving trip to Djibouti

For other uses see, see Arney (disambiguation).
The Arney River is a small river in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, feeding from Lower Lough MacNean and into Upper Lough Erne. It meanders through a wide, flat Glacial Trough between the uplands of Fermanagh, Belmore Mountain and the Cuilcagh Mountains. The valley is characterised by wide flat lowlands enclosed by low hills. The Cladagh River drains into the Arney River.
There are six bridging points on the Arney River, five of these are suitable for motorised vehicles, while one is located on private land near to the source of the river.
The river is often used by amateur anglers who are fishing for salmon and trout, however, the river is mainly populated by perch.
In February 1594, an English army took and garrisoned Enniskillen. The fort was promptly besieged by Hugh Maguire, Red Hugh O'Donnell and Cormac McBarron O'Neill (Hugh O'Neill's brother). In August 1594 an English relief army led by Sir Henry Duke was ambushed on the Arney River and routed by Maguire in the Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits: a title commemorating the sight of English rations floating down the Arney. There is a local tradition of an area beside the river called the Red Meadow alluding to blood soaking into the fields during the battle. Alternatively the local brick making industry may also have given rise to this name as the river was lined with brick fields during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Planning Commission to Consider 'Earl Lloyd Way' in Old Town
James Cullum October 6, 2020 at 11:30am
The Planning Commission on Tuesday will consider a request to name the 1000 block of Montgomery Street in Old Town after Alexandria basketball legend Earl Lloyd, the first Black man to ever play in the National Basketball League.
The honorific street name 'Earl F. Lloyd Way' would be located in the Parker-Gray neighborhood in the 1000 block of Montgomery Street between N. Patrick Street and N. Henry Street.
The African American Hall of Fame is leading the effort, and is also working to unveil a statue of Lloyd at the at Charles Houston Recreation Center on October 31, which was the day Lloyd played his first official NBA game.
According to the application:
Before the glitz, the glamour, and the glory, before Michael Jordan, before Irvin [Magic] Johnson, before Julius [Doctor] Irvin, before Kareem Abdul Jabbar, before Bill Russell, and Wilt Chamberlain, before basketball as we know it today there was a pioneer, a man who paved the way for all of today's stars, a man who helped knock down the barriers of racism in the NBA, showing the rest of the world that African Americans know how to play the game of basketball on the highest level.
Lloyd, who was affectionately known as "The Big Cat," was born in Alexandria in 1928, graduated from Parker-Gray High School, was an All-American basketball player at West Virginia State University and joined the NBA in 1955. He won a national championship five years later with the Syracuse Nationals.
If later approved by City Council, the honorific street name would be added to signage, but "would not change the mailing addresses for lots along the block," according to a staff report.

Richard Ellis (1781 – December 20, 1846) was an American plantation owner, politician, and judge on the Fourth Circuit Court of Alabama. He was president of the Convention of 1836 that declared Texas' independence from Mexico and he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. Later, Ellis served in the Republic of Texas legislature.

Ellis was born and raised in the tidewater region of Virginia, but he settled in Alabama. He was a member of Alabama's Constitutional Convention in 1818 and an associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court (1819–1826).

Ellis settled in Mexican Texas in 1834, defying the ban on immigration by the Mexican government, establishing a plantation in what is now Bowie County. In 1836 he was unanimously elected president of the Texas constitutional convention that declared independence on March 2, 1836. He also held the convention together for the additional seventeen days needed to draft Texas's constitution. He then served the Republic of Texas as a Senator from 1836 to 1840 in the first four congresses.

Ellis died in Bowie County in 1846, but in 1929, he and his wife, Mary West Dandridge were reinterred in the State Cemetery at Austin, Texas.

Ellis County, Texas, is named in his honor.

Q: MVC - Adding data into linker tables I have a registration form that allows a school to register. In addition to the obvious login and general details the school can pick from a list of facilities and accreditations that they have.
My data is displayed lovely and binded correctly.
Problem Entering the data into the linker tables does not work it throws an error in both the different ways that I have tried:
Method1:
MembershipUser membershipUser = null;

if (schoolRegisterModel != null)
{
    if (null != DB)
    {
        school SchoolUser = new school();

        SchoolUser.username = schoolRegisterModel.UserName;
        SchoolUser.email = schoolRegisterModel.Email;

        string sPassowrdSalt = Security.Instance().CreateSalt();

        SchoolUser.password = Security.Instance().CreatePasswordHash(schoolRegisterModel.Password, sPassowrdSalt);

        SchoolUser.password_salt = sPassowrdSalt;

        ..More data etc..

        foreach (var item in schoolRegisterModel.Facilities)
        {
            if (item.@checked)
            {
                school_facility sf = new school_facility();
                sf.facility_id = item.facility_id;
                SchoolUser.school_facility.Add(sf);
            }
        }

        foreach (var item in schoolRegisterModel.Accreditations)
        {
            if (item.@checked)
            {
                school_accreditation sa = new school_accreditation();
                sa.accreditation_id = item.accreditation_id;
                SchoolUser.school_accreditation.Add(sa);
            }
        }

        DB.schools.Add(SchoolUser);
        DB.SaveChanges();

Error: {"The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint \"FK_school_facility_facility\". The conflict occurred in database \"MYDB\", table \"dbo.facility\", column 'facility_id'.\r\nThe statement has been terminated."}
Also - Do I need to manually retrieve the soon to be school ID that will be generated based on this insert. This method avoids entering data directly into the linker tables using only the primary table (school).
Method2:
Same code again apart from trying to update the primary tables (school) accreditation and facilities collection directly, I manually update the linker tables seperately using the latest primary key generated by the previous query, code for this is as follows:
MembershipUser membershipUser = null;
if (schoolRegisterModel != null)
{
    if (null != DB)
    {
        school SchoolUser = new school();

        SchoolUser.username = schoolRegisterModel.UserName;
        SchoolUser.email = schoolRegisterModel.Email;

        string sPassowrdSalt = Security.Instance().CreateSalt();

        SchoolUser.password = Security.Instance().CreatePasswordHash(schoolRegisterModel.Password, sPassowrdSalt);

        SchoolUser.password_salt = sPassowrdSalt;

        ..More data etc..

        // Linker data for facilities and accreditations.
        // Facilities
        foreach (var item in schoolRegisterModel.Facilities)
        {
            if (item.@checked)
            {
                school_facility sf = new school_facility();
                sf.facility_id = item.facility_id;
                sf.school_id = SchoolUser.school_id;
                DB.school_facility.Add(sf);
            }
        }

        // Accreditations
        foreach (var item in schoolRegisterModel.Accreditations)
        {
            if (item.@checked)
            {
                school_accreditation sa = new school_accreditation();
                sa.accreditation_id = item.accreditation_id;
                sa.school_id = SchoolUser.school_id;
                DB.school_accreditation.Add(sa);
            }
        }

        m_DB.SaveChanges();

Error: {"The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint \"FK_school_facility_facility\". The conflict occurred in database \"MYDB\", table \"dbo.facility\", column 'facility_id'.\r\nThe statement has been terminated."}
If you guys have any idea where I am going wrong then please do let me know. There seem to be examples of updating linker table date (which I will need at some point anyway) but can't find an example of my problem...
Thanks in advance.

A: Looks like I have found the answer:
MVC: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
My data being pulled through was basically not containing the correct foreign key value (0 - which didn't exist) and quite rightly my DB was throwing the error. Sorry for wasting time to whoever read and thanks for your time. I hope this can help somebody else.

Twitter endorsements face OFT clampdown
Watchdog says online companies who did not disclose paid-for promotions by celebrities and bloggers were deceptive
US artists such as Snoop Dogg can earn a reported $3,000 (£1,900) for sending a tweet endorsing a product. Photograph: David Livingston/Getty Images North America

Sun 9 Jan 2011 15.05 EST
How does a celebrity declare their affiliations to certain brands in fewer than 140 characters? Many may have to learn, after a clampdown by the government's consumer watchdog on non-declared endorsements in blogs and on social networking sites such as Twitter.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has begun a crackdown on Twitter users and bloggers using their online presence to endorse products and companies without clearly stating their relationship with the brand.
In the first of its kind, the OFT has brought a case against a PR firm that was discovered to be paying bloggers to write effusively about its clients. The watchdog has launched an investigation into Handpicked Media, which operates a commercial blogging network – insisting that it must clearly state when promotional comments have been paid for.
In a statement, the OFT said online advertising and marketing that did not disclose paid-for promotions were "deceptive" under fair trading rules. "This includes comments about services and products on blogs and microblogs such as Twitter," it said.
Celebrity twitter endorsements are already big business in the US, where artists such as Snoop Dogg can earn a reported $3,000 (£1,900) for sending a tweet endorsing a product. But the US Federal Trade Commission insists that such endorsements must contain the words "ad" or "spon" to show the reference has been paid for. Such a requirement does not currently exist in the UK.
"Celebrities can be great influencers, whether they're on TV or tweeting," Arnie Gullov-Singh, chief executive officer of Ad.ly, which pairs celebrities and companies, told Business Week in a recent interview.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who has more than 5.6 million followers, can collect up to $10,000 for tweeting, Gullov-Singh added. "Her price keeps going up. The most effective ones can get six figures a year, and in some cases six figures a quarter."
Launched in 2009, Ad.ly uses more than 5,000 celebrities and experts to promote products such as Coke, Toyota and Microsoft in the US. It now plans to launch the service in Britain.
"A year ago, celebrities were wary about their reputation, about selling out, but when they saw how easy it was to earn up to $5,000 a tweet, they flocked on board," said Gullov-Singh.
It is a business that could boom in the UK, after Range Rover became one of the first companies to dip its toe in the water. It recently signed up 40 stars – including ex-GMTV host Ben Shephard and model Daisy Lowe – to drive its new Evoque 4x4 and tell their followers about the experience, according to Marketing Week.
Complimentary tweets about the cars have appeared on Twitter. In November, fashion designer Henry Holland, who has more than 133,000 followers, tweeted: "CAN'T WAIT FOR MY NEW RANGE ROVER..!!!"
A Range Rover spokesman appeared to confirm to the Mail on Sunday today that the company had an arrangement with certain celebrities. He said: "We enlisted the help of a number of people with high profiles on Twitter. They get the loan of a vehicle which they can use, drive around and take pictures of.
"Under the terms of the deal they tweet. That's the idea. They tweet about the car."
A different Range Rover spokesman later denied that the company gave incentives to celebrities to tweet about its cars.
Actor Liz Hurley has also written in glowing terms about certain products, with her Twitter page including more than 10 references to cosmetic company Estée Lauder's product range. She. The self-described "mum, model, actress, bikini designer and organic Farmer" has been the face of the company for 17 years, but her Twitter page has no mention of her affiliation.
Media commentator Mark Borkowski said there was little doubt that celebrity endorsements would become increasingly common in the UK. He believes the industry could follow the example of the US where the number of followers a celebrity has determines how much their "advertising space" is worth.
"Celebrity endorsements go back to cigarette advertising in the 1900s. All we are seeing here is a change in the medium. "Twitter is a very powerful medium," he said.
But celebrities endorsing products had to be honest and open, he added. "If people are open and there is a conversation about it, then fine. The problems come when people endorse covertly, that puts the whole thing into jeopardy."
In that case the OFT would have to intervene, although twitter users themselves might be better arbiters. "People can see through these things, and having the twitter cloud against you is a powerful thing."


The .team top-level domain is an alternative to more popular TLDs such as .com, but it is not typically used as an alternative if the .com version of a domain name is taken. The word "Team" implies a more personal website that is used by staff members or your project team members. It is often used for websites where teams collaborate to complete assignments and projects. Sports teams will often use the dot team top-level domain, especially if the team is named after an item, animal, plant, or location. For example, the Wolverhampton.com may be taken by a town of the same name, and Wolverhampton.team may be taken by the town's sports team.
Who should use the .team Top Level Domain?
Recruitment agencies sometimes use the dot team TLD to redirect people from their main website. For example, once a person is under contract, they no longer use the .com version of the website (which is used for selling the service), and instead start to use the .team version of the website to view their jobs, assignments, pay and so forth.

US panel sets deadline for Trump to decide participation in impeachment hearings

The procedures set out rules by which the president can call witnesses, introduce evidence and make presentations.
A US congressional panel on Friday gave President Donald Trump one week to say whether his legal counsel intends to introduce evidence and call witnesses in upcoming impeachment proceedings that could lead to formal charges of misconduct within a few weeks.
The Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee, which is due to begin weighing possible articles of impeachment against Trump next week, sent a two-page letter to the president setting a deadline of 5 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) on Dec. 6 for the president's counsel to specify intended actions under the committee's impeachment procedures.
Panel Democratic Chairman Jerrold Nadler set the same deadline for Republican lawmakers on the committee to notify him about intended witnesses and evidence and scheduled a Dec. 9 meeting to consider the matter.
The Judiciary panel is expected to hold a series of impeachment proceedings, including an initial hearing on Wednesday at which legal experts are due to testify about the constitutional grounds for impeachment. The committee invited Trump to participate in the hearing and gave him until 6 p.m. EST (2300 GMT) on Sunday to say whether he or his legal team would attend.
The impeachment probe is looking into whether Trump abused his power to pressure Ukraine to launch investigations of political rival Joe Biden and a discredited conspiracy theory promoted by Trump that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
After weeks of closed-door witness depositions and televised hearings, three investigating panels led by the House Intelligence Committee are due to release a formal report soon after lawmakers return to Congress on Tuesday from a Thanksgiving recess. The report will outline evidence gathered by lawmakers on the panel, along with those on the Foreign Affairs and Oversight committees.
After Wednesday, the Judiciary panel, which could recommend a full House impeachment vote before Christmas, is expected to hold a hearing to examine the evidence report and further proceedings to consider formal articles of impeachment.
House Democrats aim to resolve the question of Trump's impeachment by Christmas. If the House impeaches him, the Republican-controlled Senate would hold a trial to determine whether he should be convicted and removed from office.
Political analysts say the ultimate verdict will come in next year's U.S. elections for president and Congress, and candidates from both parties have used the impeachment issue to ramp up their campaigns.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who launched the impeachment inquiry on Sept. 24, on Friday asked supporters in an email from her campaign committee to condemn Trump's actions.
"President Trump used taxpayer money to bribe foreign countries to influence the 2020 elections for his own political gain," she said in the email which asked recipients to register their disapproval on her campaign website.

Manchester United target Harry Maguire going nowhere in January, says Leicester City team mate Ben Chilwell
Date: 12th August 2018 at 6:25pm
Written by: Daniel Church
Manchester United target Harry Maguire will not be on the move during the January transfer window, according to Leicester City team mate Ben Chilwell.
The Premier League club, who defeated The Foxes 2-1 on Friday night to kick start the new 2018-19 English top-flight campaign, had been constantly linked with a mega money move for the England international defender this summer.
Maguire, 25, who has 12 international caps for the Three Lions, played the full 90 minutes in Leicester's league opener at The Theatre of Dreams.
The centre-back, who featured in every game during Gareth Southgate's side's 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign in Russia earlier this summer, as England finished fourth in the tournament, was linked with a whopping £80m transfer to the Red Devils during the transfer window, which closed on Thursday night.
However, United boss Jose Mourinho failed to land his top defensive transfer target before the deadline.
Following Friday night's result, defensive team mate Chilwell, 21, insists Maguire will be a Leicester player for the entirety of the 2018-19 campaign.
Manchester United's Juan Mata in action with Leicester City's Harry Maguire.
He said, via the Daily Star, "It is very good to have Harry back.
"We all know what Harry is capable of, we all know how good he is.
"He could have come here today and his head could have been all over the place, but he did brilliantly."
Chilwell continued, "He is a Leicester player, he wants to play for Leicester. He has made that clear to all of us.
"He is going to be here for the whole season.
"He is going to be good for us. We are all happy that he has stayed."
Maguire is contracted at the King Power Stadium until June 2022, and has scored two goals in 45 appearances in all competitions for Leicester following his move from Hull City last June in a deal worth up to £17m.

Nightlancer Preview
Joseph Norris will be bringing Nightlancer to Birmingham Boardgame Bash 3 at Meeple Mayhem on 16th June. Here is a short preview from the designer himself:
I'm Joseph Norris the developer for Nightlancer. I've been an enthusiastic gamer and follower of the cyberpunk genre for over 20 years and have been designing games as a hobby for almost as long. Nightlancer is the first game I've developed that I think is ready to become a published game. I've been developing the game for 6 years, including one failed Kickstarter campaign in 2016, and it is now 99% complete.
Nightlancer is a cut-throat cyberpunk-themed game for 2-4 players. Players control their Nightlancers, underworld operatives, and take on dangerous missions to make big money. They need to make careful use of their contact network, helping themselves and interfering with their opponents at key moments. They must choose missions carefully, navigating the available routes in the way that suits their equipment and abilities or they will fail and get nothing. They can invest the money into new cyberware, weaponry and other equipment to prepare for missions or they can invest it in training and other opportunities to build themselves up so they can survive the collapsing society.
The Nightlancer world is a dystopian Birmingham in 2099AD. Society is torn into the cloistered inner city, where everything is regulated and controlled by the Peace Bureau, and the dangerous slums overrun with death cults, shock packs and organised crime.
Nightlancer is on Kickstarter on the 31st of May and backers will have the opportunity to pledge to have themselves featured in the game art as contacts, antagonists or even as entire additional Nightlancers!

Two bishops have been left ''humbled and privileged'' after meeting hundreds of people of all ages during a Lent pilgrimage across Suffolk.
The Rt Rev Martin Seeley, Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, and his colleague the Rt Rev Dr Mike Harrison, Bishop of Dunwich, took their ministry onto the road for 10 days – walking 90 miles across north Suffolk, from Southwold to Stowmarket.
They met schoolchildren, visited flourishing industries, prayed at village churches and chatted with farmers and other people enjoying and working in the countryside.
They engaged with different communities, playing darts in a village pub one night, throwing a pot on a potter's wheel, eating traditional Suffolk fish and chips, and listening to children talk about their lives.
Bishop Martin said: "We wanted to meet new and different audiences while providing access to ourselves which helps to enrich our understanding of what it is like for those living and working in Suffolk today.
''Yet again we found men, women, boys and girls of all ages wanting to walk by our side and chat about their lives. We found this humbling in that they wanted to share their trials and tribulations, their joys and disappointments with us.
Their pilgrimage finished at Stowmarket's Museum of East Anglian Life where Bishop Mike said: ''It was totally appropriate that we should end our pilgrimage here, among a mixture of exhibits documenting agricultural history through the ages.
''Our pilgrimage took us through country lanes and farmers' fields and, as we met the Suffolk farmers of today, we were given a greater understanding of all that has gone before to make our county what it is today.
Each day started and finished with prayers and included visits to the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, Flixton; Wyken Vineyard; Pakenham Water Mill; Designs on Metal, Stowlangtoft, and chatting with locals at Hoxne, at the Blue Boar, Walsham le Willows, and the Pykkerell Inn, Ixworth.
The bishops also held a School Mass in the church with Eye Primary School and the parish at St Peter and St Paul, Eye.
They also raised money for their Kagera Appeal which supports young people and subsistence farmers in Kagera, Tanzania.
Their pilgrimage included Redisham, Bungay, Metfield, Fressingfield, Eye, Rickinghall, Ixworth and Bacton.
The bishops visited numerous churches including at Reydon, Wangford, Uggeshall, Stoven, Redisham, Shadingfield, Beccles, Barsham, Mettingham, Bungay, Metfield, Fressingfield, Wingfield, Hoxne, Oakley, Eye, Yaxley, Thornham Magna, Mellis, Rickinghall, Ixworth, Stowlangtoft, Langham, Badwell Ash, Wyverstone, Bacton, Old Newton and Stowmarket.

OPINION | STUDENT VOICES COMMUNITY EDITORIAL BOARD
By Community Editorial Board
June 5, 2020 | 2:48am EDT
Black lives matter. This phrase isn't simply a political platitude or social media trend. It is the recognition and affirmation of Black people's humanity. Whether straight or queer; male, female or non-conforming; rich or poor—all Black lives matter. They have always mattered, but at times like these—when police violence plagues the streets of cities across the country and when the President of the United States' words add fuel to the fire—we must advocate harder for systemic change.
The deaths of Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many others have reminded us of longstanding inequalities in the society we live in. Each paid the ultimate price for one of America's highest crimes: being Black. If you are Black in America, you can be killed for playing with a toy gun, being transgender, passing out food, or sitting in your own home. Everyone in these stories—as well as countless Black people we will never know—had their lives taken by the police.
While some activists have demanded action against police brutality on the streets, others have taken to social media platforms to speak out against injustices faced by the Black community. What began with reposting an aesthetic drawing of Floyd has transformed into a social media storm consisting of calls for donations, links to anti-racism resources and guides for engaging conservative peers and parents with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Both of these forms of participation are valid. Not everyone can protest in person, but everyone can do something in the fight for racial justice nationwide.
The fight locally has played out differently. Campus activists have demanded greater protections for minorities for ages, from the Allen Building Takeover to the People's State of the University protests. Clearly, activism and anti-racism are steeped in Duke's history. Despite all of the incidents in recent years aimed at ostracizing the Black community, activists have been able to demand change from the University year after year.
The University's recent response was business-as-usual at best and another display of Duke's race problem at worst. In only 237 words, President Vincent Price told the Duke community that "Duke University will continue the work of addressing generations of racism and injustice." A man died, the nation has erupted into protests and the president of the United States has threatened the safety of protesters across the country, yet the best Duke students—Black Duke students—got from our president was a different version of the same deeply inadequate message many of us have heard since Price took office. Two days later, Vice Provost Gary Bennett and Mary Pat McMahon released their statement. They promised to listen to the needs of students from marginalized communities and implement concrete revisions to the Duke Community Standard. If this is a sincere promise and change is coming, we want to remind them that every day that Black students do not have the protection they need is another in which their safeties and very lives are at stake.
When the University's administration fails, our community at large must offer support to our Black peers. To non-Black allies: listen to the Black community. Listen when they tell you that the racism in your communities is your problem. All of us have an obligation to educate our family members and peers on the injustices faced by the Black community, and more importantly, to hold them accountable.
For those of you asking what actions you can take to effectively challenge entrenched biases and systemic racism, here are a few:
Take part in a protest. Showing up, physically if you are able, is one of the best ways to understand the issue of police violence and support the movement against it. Many of these protests began as peaceful demonstrations before police escalated them to dangerous situations. When things turn violent, white allies should use their privilege and greater levels of immunity to de-escalate situations between black protesters and police. If you protest, it is important to know your rights and have the contact information of a lawyer available.
Donate to organizations committed to criminal justice reform, public policy reform and community empowerment. Bail fund organizations help end a discriminatory system that relies on stereotyping Black men and women as criminals to keep them locked up in jail, perpetuating a cycle of poverty. National organizations aim to reform public policy for Black people in Washington, D.C., where it can be the hardest, but the most necessary, to change the system. Community-centered organizations help Black people out with everyday needs and necessities. Donating ensures that these organizations and more can continue to fight for equality.
Educate yourself about issues plaguing the Black community. Having discussions with your Black friends about their experience is important. But at a time like this, many of them are overexerting themselves trying to keep themselves mentally and emotionally secure. Start by reading books about Black Americans' experience with policymakers, law enforcement and the criminal justice system. Watch films that depict the harsh reality of living while Black. Commit to the long journey of unlearning racist attitudes.
Consider the space you take away from Black people. Unlearning racism requires a dialogue between Black and non-Black voices. However, learning when to step back from the conversation and let the Black community decide the content of the conversation is infinitely more helpful than assuming the best path to equal rights and speaking from that assumption. Speaking up for the Black community often turns into speaking over Black voices and ultimately silences their message.
Introduce implicit bias training to your organizations and clubs. Many of us are a lot more prejudiced than we think we are. Standing against racism doesn't just mean condemning the actions of violent police and moving on. It means confronting the stereotypes and prejudices that have been taught to us by a racist society over time. If your organization condemns the hate that led to the killing of George Floyd, implement continual bias training that helps your members identify and unlearn racist patterns. These training sessions are most helpful before recruitment or tryout seasons as those environments are where implicit biases are on full display.
Rethink your job. Standing with Black people does not stop at standing against police—it carries over into the workplace. Do your research when applying for a job. If your place of employment sells user data to police or contracts with law enforcement agents to put people in cages, reconsider working for that company. If you do work for one of these companies, critically think about your team's leadership and stand with Black co-workers when they point out discrimination in hiring and promotion practices. Additionally, look into your company's corporate responsibility policies as many Fortune 500 companies have a donation matching program.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Taking one form of action does not eradicate Duke's or America's racism. However, participating in all of them all will not solve our problems immediately either. Once you have protested or donated or become more educated, you must commit to living an anti-racist life. That includes checking your own implicit biases, calling out friends and family, going out of your way to learn about the struggles the Black community faces and voting for pro-Black politicians. Committing to anti-racism is a lifelong journey, but it starts with embracing the simple fact that Black lives matter.
