US military presence rattles Iran-linked militias in Iraq, not others
Azhar Al-Rubaie
"Some political parties are supporting the presence of US troops because they are not able to face the Iran-backed politicians in Baghdad," said Mohammed al-Qaisy, an Iraqi analyst.

BAGHDAD - Repercussions from recent visits by US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Iraq are still playing out in the country, especially among Iran-backed militia leaders.
The militia leaders want the Iraqi government to side with Iran in the face of US sanctions against Tehran. They were also rattled by reports that some Iraqi militias had been blacklisted by Washington.
The visits by top US officials and measures by the Trump administration against Iran and its proxies prompted Iraqi militia leaders to reiterate calls for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
Qais al-Khazali, leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia and who represents a 15-member bloc in parliament, told the Associated Press he expected a vote calling for the withdrawal of US troops.
"If the United States wants to impose its presence by force and to bypass the Iraqi constitution and parliament, Iraq can treat it the same way and drive it out by force… but the first phase is political," Khazali said in reference to the parliamentary vote.
Aws al-Khafaji, a militia leader, said in a video that he feared US troops could be welcomed by many Iraqis who are against the Baghdad government.
"I fear that if the Americans come in, the people, who have become desperate, would turn against the state like Saddam," said Khafaji, referring to the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
"We don't like the Americans but we were silent when they came for Saddam. We were happy and said: 'Let them take him.' We fear this may be repeated. They (Iraqi officials) should be careful."
Observers said some Iraqi politicians viewed the US presence in Iraq as a counterbalance to Iran's influence in Iraq.
Ghaith al-Tamimi, president of the Iraqi Centre for Diversity Management, said he welcomed aid from countries that promised to counter Iran in Iraq.
"The presence of US troops in Iraq is very necessary if the project includes expelling the militias and narrowing Iranian influence," Tamimi said. "Iraq needs international support for Iraq's national moderates in order to stop spreading of cancer of Iran's militias in Iraq."
Salah Hassan Ibrahim, a journalist in Anbar, said many people in the province predict there will be clashes between Iran-backed militias and US troops. Iraqis there are critical of the militias. "There is support for US troops presence by Sunni tribal powers and citizens," Ibrahim said.
Sheikh Muzahim al-Hewitt, spokesman of the Arab tribes in Nineveh province, said he welcomed the presence of US troops in Sunni areas as a deterrent to "the crimes of militias and agendas supported by Iran."
"We reject naming US troops as occupation forces. They are [liberation forces] and we, as Arab tribes, informed the American side of our full support to them," Hewitt said.
Eid Ammash, a member of the Anbar provincial council, said the presence of a US base in the province is for logistical reasons to fight the Islamic State (ISIS).
"Those who are in Ain al-Asad Airbase are there at the invitation of Iraq to train Iraqi forces to fight ISIS," Ammash said. "They are trainers, consultants and military experts for logistic support for the US-led-coalition against ISIS."
Ammash said the presence of the base and the troops was decided by the central government in Baghdad, not by officials in Anbar.
Legal expert Tariq Harb said the presence of US troops in Iraq was covered by a "US-Iraq strategic framework agreement" and parliamentarians who collected signatures asking for the withdrawal of US troops have not formally tabled a motion in the legislature. "It is still just talk, no motion, no proposal, nothing," Harb said.
Iran has been proactive in trying to counter US sanctions, sending top officials to Baghdad rather than rely on proxies.
The recent 4-day visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to Iraq was meant to make sure that US sanctions against Tehran would not affect trade ties between Iran and Iraq, Qaisy said.

Re-enforcing what is already shaping up to be a robust year for major US-bred advisers, Reed Smith is the latest major law firm to announce robust growth with revenues rising 7% in 2014 to reach $1.15bn.
Growth in the world's two dominant legal hubs – New York and London – helped to propel revenue and profitability at the firm, which last year received mandates from Barclays Bank, Sky and AstraZeneca. Revenue for the 700-partner firm increased from $1.07bn in 2013 to $1.15bn while profit per equity partner climbed 6% from $1.14m to $1.2m. Revenue per lawyer growth was more subdued, rising 2% from $691,000 to $703,000.
Reed Smith attributed the results to its focus on five core business sectors: financial services; life sciences and health; energy and natural resources; shipping and transport; and media and entertainment.
London, now the firm's largest office with 373 lawyers, has been growing quickly. The office, which now generates well over £125m annually – has hired 15 partners in the past 12 months and promoted seven London lawyers to the partnership at the start of the year.
One of the firm's biggest mandates arrived in London from Marathon Asset Management, with partners Tamara Box and Iain Balkwill advising on the acquisition, restructuring and financing of an €850m portfolio of non-performing loans.
Reed Smith's Houston office, which opened in February 2013, also made an impact on the firm's revenues having since grown to 45 lawyers.
Thomas has launched a five-year plan to drive growth in the firm's corporate practice, particularly in the US. Initiatives have also been rolled out to improve productivity, including growing its client value team, which manages mandates and prices work. The team launched in 2012 in Pittsburgh and now has 15 members globally, including three in London.
Reed Smith's announcement is the latest in a string of robust 2014 results to so far emerge from leading US law firms, with Latham & Watkins establishing itself as a pace-setter last month after confirming that its revenues were up more than $300m.
With a resilient national economy powering US-bred advisers, UK rivals look set to face increasingly intense competition in Europe.

So, I spent part of my night listening to legal experts of the Stanford Law School discussing the impact of 3 recent executive orders by President Trump. It was pretty impressive, with some of the top legal scholars of the country being present. I learned about Executive Order #1 (by Lincoln), and about an Executive Order actually describing what an Executive Order is (Chicken, meet Egg). And I learned a lot about how these orders are affecting thousands of people inside and outside the US, which brought tears to our eyes and fear in our hearts.
***First, there was the positive reminder that after 9/11 the courts allowed many laws impacting civil liberties to pass because of broad 'national security' concerns, but that today it looks like the courts are actually resisting the policy changes from the Trump administration. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one.
***Second, there was the heartfelt plea to not just rely on the courts, but to continue calling your representatives to resist these policies and remain active and vocal in your protests. It actually works, people! These top legal experts attributed the recent changes in allowing permanent residents to enter the country and backtracking on some other provisions purely to the quick and vocal response of thousands of people after the Executive Orders went into effect less than a week ago.
***Third, they cautioned for protest fatigue. There is a real agenda for controlling the news cycle with new shock after new shock to wear us out. As someone said, don't fall for forgetting yesterday's news because of today's new shocker. Think hard about what issue you deeply care about and keep track of it, even when the news cycle has moved on. Keep reminding people, give them updates on policy changes, victories and losses where you can. And don't be upset if someone else knows less about 'your thing' and is vocal about a different issue that they care deeply about. Learn from them, since they will keep track of those issues and can share their knowledge with you.

Stratford Mop Fair
Archived on 30 September 2021
Stratford District is resorting to medieval methods to help local people find work after the pandemic had a huge effect on the job market.
The Stratford Mop Fair, which is held each year in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre, usually consists of a funfair for the district's residents to enjoy.
But when it started in the 14th century it was used by landowners around the county to meet prospective workers after the Black Death had decimated the population.
Now - in the wake of the Covid pandemic - the first ever 'Job and Apprenticeship Fair' will be held at the Stratford Playhouse in Rother Street to attract workers to fill the many shortages in the prominent hospitality and leisure industries in the district, as well as in several other sectors.
A host of employers and local agencies will be on hand at the free, one-day event on October 12, to speak to would-be staff members, and more are being booked ahead of the fair.
Cllr Matt Jennings, portfolio holder for Tourism and Economic Development at Stratford District Council, said: "The Mop Fair has been a staple in Stratford for a very long time, but it's been many years since it fulfilled its original purpose of recruiting people for work.
"With the pandemic having had a significant impact on businesses in Stratford District and beyond, we thought bringing back old traditions and hosting a Job and Apprenticeship Fair would be a great way for businesses looking to hire to meet people looking for work.
"We'd love to see plenty of people come down this year to not only enjoy the amazing funfair, but to potentially find a new job too."
The Mop was so named because those looking for work would wear an item on their lapel showing what trade they were interested in - such as an ear of corn for farm work - which was known as a 'mop'.
Kate Varvedo, Senior Marketing & Commercial Manager of Shakespeare's England - the leading Destination Management Organisation for South Warwickshire and the surrounding area - added: "Tourism and hospitality are two industries that have been heavily affected by the pandemic, and Stratford's economy has a high proportion of businesses in these two sectors.
"We need to do all we can to help these sectors recover as we emerge out of the pandemic. Bringing back the old traditions of the Mop Fair is a really fun way of helping businesses in the town find the staff they need and ultimately help the region's economy bounce back."
The traditional funfair will still take pride of place at the Mop Fair alongside the recruitment event, with plenty of rides and sideshows for visitors.
It is the second year the event has been impacted by Covid - a single ride was used last year just to ensure the tradition continued, the first time such a measure had been introduced since the Second World War.
Willie Wilson, of Bob Wilson's Funfairs, said: "It's great to be bringing the Mop Fair back at its full capacity after having a tiny fair last year to keep the charter to host the fair alive.
"Our family has been providing the rides and attractions at the Mop Fair for generations, and we were genuinely worried about its future last year, so we're really happy to be bringing it back once again.
"Whether you're coming to the Mop Fair for the rides, or to find work, it's going to be a fantastic event this time around."
The Mop Fair will be held on Tuesday, October 12 from 11am to 11pm, and will be formally opened by the Chairman of Stratford District Council Cllr Edward Fitter.
Anyone looking to take part or for further information should email recruitmentfair@stratford-dc.gov.uk

pinup.punkrockelite.org: Ankle Corsets. They're a Thing. Really.
Over the weekend I saw a woman wearing what I initially thought were cool shoes that featured some lovely, lacy, lace-up-y ankle straps...but upon closer inspection it turned out that the straps weren't actually connected to the shoes. No, the woman informed me, they're ankle corsets. Had never heard of such a thing, but I have become an instant fan. What a cool way to dress up an otherwise basic pair of pumps.


New Chelsea signing Daniel Sturridge makes his first appearance in a Chelsea shirt. Solid signing by Chelsea. Again, not an Ancelotti signing a such but Sturridge looks an excellent prospect. I'm surprised Man City let him go.
What, and City have no money!? Sure they could have matched Chelsea's wage?
We just gave a 19 year old with very little experience 60k a week… no wonder every other club laughs at the situation we've got ourselves in. Even Man city refused to give the kids ego 60k a week.
Turnbull/sturridge and adam johnson coming soon….This is what happens when a club spends 6 years spending £25m on foreigners and bringing zero english players through from the youth team whilst at the same time getting rid of english players we bought (glen johnson)… we're now bringing in average english talent in an attempt to hide that fact and have enough players for the champions league.
Bearing in mind we won nothing last year this isn't the talent we need to bring in.
I'm ashamed at the state of our club that's come as a result Abramovich's money.
You're forgetting the FA Cup.
Daniel you dont really have a clue what you're talking about, chelsea fc was just staying alive and if abramovich didnt come in not sure we would even be around, i get really upset when people talk bad about abrahamovic, since his been around chelsea fc has gone from an average team to a super club ! And this is all thanks to our russian Saviour !

Format : PDF, Docs
After her Aunt Teza's test results turn out to be inconclusive, Dot Cooper resolves to raise money for a new mammogram machine, through the creation and auction of a magnificent, king-sized quilt to be sewn by the women of Jefferson City. Dot's efforts quickly draw the support of disparate members of the community, including newcomer Beth Donnelly, married to a local pastor; Elaine Giovanni, the stylish wife of a local surgeon; and an ailing Aunt Teza. But as the four different generations work the squares of the quilt, they are also confronted with ragged pieces of their own lives. Though the women could not be more different on the surface, they hold in common quiet suffering triggered by painful circumstances: the death of children, the abandonment of husbands, the loneliness of depression. Yet their struggles will bring them closer together than they ever could have anticipated, and their lives will be dramatically changed, as together they experience the curative powers of The Healing Quilt. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Final Report Of The Truth And Reconciliation Commission Of Canada Volume One Summary
Author : The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
This is the Final Report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its six-year investigation of the residential school system for Aboriginal youth and the legacy of these schools. This report, the summary volume, includes the history of residential schools, the legacy of that school system, and the full text of the Commission's 94 recommendations for action to address that legacy. This report lays bare a part of Canada's history that until recently was little-known to most non-Aboriginal Canadians. The Commission discusses the logic of the colonization of Canada's territories, and why and how policy and practice developed to end the existence of distinct societies of Aboriginal peoples. Using brief excerpts from the powerful testimony heard from Survivors, this report documents the residential school system which forced children into institutions where they were forbidden to speak their language, required to discard their clothing in favour of institutional wear, given inadequate food, housed in inferior and fire-prone buildings, required to work when they should have been studying, and subjected to emotional, psychological and often physical abuse. In this setting, cruel punishments were all too common, as was sexual abuse. More than 30,000 Survivors have been compensated financially by the Government of Canada for their experiences in residential schools, but the legacy of this experience is ongoing today. This report explains the links to high rates of Aboriginal children being taken from their families, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and high rates of suicide. The report documents the drastic decline in the presence of Aboriginal languages, even as Survivors and others work to maintain their distinctive cultures, traditions, and governance. The report offers 94 calls to action on the part of governments, churches, public institutions and non-Aboriginal Canadians as a path to meaningful reconciliation of Canada today with Aboriginal citizens. Even though the historical experience of residential schools constituted an act of cultural genocide by Canadian government authorities, the United Nation's declaration of the rights of aboriginal peoples and the specific recommendations of the Commission offer a path to move from apology for these events to true reconciliation that can be embraced by all Canadians.
Canada S Residential Schools Reconciliation
Author : Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
Genre : Social Science
Between 1867 and 2000, the Canadian government sent over 150,000 Aboriginal children to residential schools across the country. Government officials and missionaries agreed that in order to "civilize and Christianize" Aboriginal children, it was necessary to separate them from their parents and their home communities. For children, life in these schools was lonely and alien. Discipline was harsh, and daily life was highly regimented. Aboriginal languages and cultures were denigrated and suppressed. Education and technical training too often gave way to the drudgery of doing the chores necessary to make the schools self-sustaining. Child neglect was institutionalized, and the lack of supervision created situations where students were prey to sexual and physical abusers. Legal action by the schools' former students led to the creation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in 2008. The product of over six years of research, the Commission's final report outlines the history and legacy of the schools, and charts a pathway towards reconciliation. Canada's Residential Schools: Reconciliation documents the complexities, challenges, and possibilities of reconciliation by presenting the findings of public testimonies from residential school Survivors and others who participated in the TRC's national events and community hearings. For many Aboriginal people, reconciliation is foremost about healing families and communities, and revitalizing Indigenous cultures, languages, spirituality, laws, and governance systems. For governments, building a respectful relationship involves dismantling a centuries-old political and bureaucratic culture in which, all too often, policies and programs are still based on failed notions of assimilation. For churches, demonstrating long-term commitment to reconciliation requires atoning for harmful actions in the residential schools, respecting Indigenous spirituality, and supporting Indigenous peoples' struggles for justice and equity. Schools must teach Canadian history in ways that foster mutual respect, empathy, and engagement. All Canadian children and youth deserve to know what happened in the residential schools and to appreciate the rich history and collective knowledge of Indigenous peoples. This volume also emphasizes the important role of public memory in the reconciliation process, as well as the role of Canadian society, including the corporate and non-profit sectors, the media, and the sports community in reconciliation. The Commission urges Canada to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a framework for reconciliation. While Aboriginal peoples are victims of violence and discrimination, they are also holders of Treaty, Aboriginal, and human rights and have a critical role to play in reconciliation. All Canadians must understand how traditional First Nations, Inuit, and Métis approaches to resolving conflict, repairing harm, and restoring relationships can inform the reconciliation process. The TRC's calls to action identify the concrete steps that must be taken to ensure that our children and grandchildren can live together in dignity, peace, and prosperity on these lands we now share.

NAIFA's new Life and Annuities Certified Professional (LACP) certification was introduced earlier this week at the Million Dollar Round Table meeting in Orlando, and it's off to a flying start. In just a few days, more than one hundred established agents and advisors have applied to be LACP candidates.
At MDRT, there was genuine excitement over a certification that serves consumers by recognizing experienced financial professionals for their product knowledge, consultative sales process, and adherence to ethical, legal and regulatory requirements.
And the momentum continues. Yesterday, Country Financial informed NAIFA that it has approved LACP for use by its representatives, along with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., an independent broker-dealer. Dozens of additional companies have the certification under review, and we are highly confident that it will be approved for use by many of them in the weeks ahead.
Since 1984, NAIFA has delivered value to more than 70,000 professionals with the LUTCF® designation. We are pleased to offer the LACP as "the next step" for the highly experienced professional who will stand apart from their peers with the LACP mark of distinction.
For information on LACP eligibility, including details on the alternative to the LACP exam (available for a limited time) visit NAIFA.org/lacp, and register today!

Either the rebel prince succeeds in convincing enough people who matter to remove the King, or the King counters and drives the prince out. The former situation is far and away the best option for stability in the Middle East, and would likely allow the Saudi royal lineage to hold on to power for longer. If the second scenario unfolds, current leadership will crack down even harder on dissent and run the state further into the ground. This behavior will ultimately lead to an unpredictable and likely violent revolution, and if you think the Middle East is volatile now, you ain't seen nothing yet.
This also applies to Saudi Arabia.
If you're like me, you've probably been pretty checked out of global news over the past severals days. It's time to get checked in.
The extremely dangerous developments currently unfolding throughout the Middle East cannot be overstated. Indeed, it appears we may be on the verge of all out regional conflict. In order to understand what's happening and where things might go, let's review the events of recent days.
On January 2nd, Saudi officials welcomed the New Year by holding its largest mass execution since 1980. 47 individuals were put to death across 12 cities, some by firing squad, others by hanging. While the vast majority (43) were Sunni jihadists accused of attacks upon Western compounds and government buildings during the 2003-2006 period, the remaining victims were Shiite dissidents, most notably the revered and prominent cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
The resulting backlash from Beruit to Tehran, from Baghdad to Bahrain, has been nothing short of explosive. Expect this execution to be remembered as a major catalyst in the regional chaos to come.
In a televised speech on Sunday, Hassan Nasrallah described al-Nimr as a brave martyr and holy warrior, who didn't carry weapons or espouse armed conflict and was killed only for his criticism of the Al Saud ruling family. Celebratory gunfire rang out in central Beirut at the speech's beginning and end.
In a televised speech on Sunday, Hassan Nasrallah described al-Nimr as "the martyr, the holy warrior," and also gave condolences to the people of Saudi Arabia's Shiite eastern regions.
Hundreds also marched in al-Daih, west of Manama, chanting slogans against Saudi Arabia's ruling Al Saud family and the Sunni family ruling Bahrain.
Al-Nimr was an outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia's Sunni monarchy but denied ever calling for violence. His execution has sparked outrage among Shiites across the region.
Meanwhile, the road the embassy sits on in northern Tehran saw a new street sign come up in recent hours. Instead of saying "Boustan" or "park" in Farsi, it now reads "Sheikh Nimr St." in honor of the Shiite cleric that Saudi Arabia executed on Saturday.
Protesters in Iran, angered by al-Nimr's execution, broke into the Saudi Embassy early Sunday, setting fires and throwing papers from the roof.
Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard has compared Saudi Arabia's execution of an opposition Shiite cleric to attacks carried out by the extremist Islamic State group.
The Guard says in a statement Sunday that Saudi Arabia's "medieval act of savagery" in putting Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr to death will lead to the "downfall" of the monarchy.
The comments by the Guard mirror those of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who also strongly criticized the sheikh's execution.
Iran's Supreme Leader says Saudi Arabia will face "divine revenge" after the execution of a revered Shiite cleric.
Khamenei's website carried the comments by the ayatollah, who also criticized the ongoing Saudi-led war in Yemen against Shiite rebels, as well as the "persecution" of Shiites living in Saudi-allied Bahrain.
In a statement Sunday, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani extends his condolences for the "martyrdom" of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and others from eastern Saudi Arabia, where the Shiite minority is concentrated.
Never fear, the UN is on the case. You know, the same hapless and hopelessly corrupt international body which recently named Saudi Arabia head of a Human Rights Panel.
The U.N.'s top human rights official has strongly criticized Saudi Arabia for executing 47 people in a single day.
Thanks for nothing, United Nations.
"This oppressed cleric did not encourage people to join an armed movement, nor did he engage in secret plotting, and he only voiced public criticism … based on religious fervour," said Khamenei, who criticised "the silence of the supposed backers of freedom, democracy and human rights" over the execution.
For that, the Saudis have decided to cut off diplomatic ties with Iran.
BAGHDAD — Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran on Sunday and gave all Iranian diplomats 48 hours to leave the kingdom, as escalating tensions over the execution of an outspoken Shiite cleric in Saudi Arabiamarked a new low in relations between the two Middle Eastern powers.
This is not to say that the prior Saudi King was some sort of teddy bear, but the guy currently running the show seems to be certifiably insane. It appears "Reckless" is about to set the entire region in flames. Stay tuned.


FALLON, Nevada — A man has been formally charged with murder after police say he opened fire inside an LDS Church in Fallon, Nevada.
According to the City of Fallon, John K. O'Connor has been formally charged with Murder and with Battery with Substantial Harm Monday.
Police say he is being held in jail lieu of bail, which was set at $1,050,000.
Authorities say O'Connor attended services at the church prior to the shooting, which was witnessed by the congregation.
Authorities also said Monday they executed a search at O'Connor's home, which is across the street from the church where the shooting took place. Police recovered a handgun during that search, and they say the weapon matches the description of the weapon used in the shooting.
The man killed in the shooting was identified Sunday as 61-year-old Charles E. Miller, known in the community as "Burt". The city says Miller was a 35-year veteran of the Fallon/Churchill Volunteer Fire Department.
One other person was treated at a hospital and released.
O'Connor was arrested after a hostage negotiator spoke with him as he was barricaded inside his home following the shooting.


How to Use Emergency SOS On the iPhone - What the Tech?
This feature on most iPhones could save your life. Make sure your kids know about this one.
My teenage daughter got a lecture from me the other night. She hadn't done anything wrong but she was about to go out for the evening with some friends and their plan was to go to a shopping mall in town. I know this shopping mall. It shows up on the news every few weeks in a story about a robbery or assault in the parking lot.
"When you're leaving the mall, make sure you're not being followed," I said. Then I set up a little-known feature on her phone called 'Emergency S.O.S'.
If you feel you need to call police, you could unlock the screen, open your phone app and punch in 9-1-1. But let's say you need to do it more quickly. Maybe you don't want someone knowing you're calling for help. If you've got an iPhone, you can dial 911, without even touching the screen.
Simply press the on-off button, the one on the right side of the iPhone, 5 times, quickly. That's going to do 2 things, sound an alarm and call 9-1-1. Depending on which iPhone you have, you may be asked to drag a slider to make the SOS call. With the new iPhones, the 8, 8 plus or X, it'll place the call automatically to the nearest 911 call center based on your phone's GPS and shares your location.
After calling 9-1-1, the phone will send a text message to your emergency contacts. They'll see that you've called for help and your exact location.
You may want to set up your emergency contacts. You can do that in the health app under Medical ID but there's a shortcut.
In settings look for 'Emergency SOS'. You can edit several settings here. It will give the option to edit emergency contacts within the Health app. It will actually open your Medical ID information page. This is a good thing to set up. In the upper right-hand corner click 'edit'. You'll then see the option to add emergency contacts.
This is one of those things that heaven-forbid you ever need, but it's a good idea to set it up, especially on the phone your kids use.


When I select "Visit the Community Forum" I get the following error message: "An error occurred while attempting to open the specified URL". Had the same error message for "Adobe Flash Player" and "Java" updates. However I resolved the latter two problems by removing the programs and installing the latest versions manually from the Internet. Do not know the resolution to the Community Forum access and would appreciate some help.
Your default browser is not set up correctly in the Registry.
I may have a simple solution but require three bits of information.
1. Are U using XP,Vista or Windows 7?
2. Is it a 32 or 64Bit system.
3. What is normally your default web browser?
Maurice - Thanks for your response! My OS is Windows 7 - 64 bit. My default internet browser is IE8 but I have Google Chrome installed as I use GMail for my web mail. Hope I have answered your questions. My problem is on my Laptop. I have the same configuration on my Desktop and it is able to access the Community Forum.
Open IE>Tools>Internet Options>Programs>click the Make Default button in the Default Web Browser Area & put a tick (check mark) in the "Tell me if IE ....." box.
Now try to access - has that worked?
Maurice, the box is already checked. I removed the check and put it back but I still cannot access the Community Forum. Still get the error message.
OK - this should fix it. If not too confident in the Registry try a dummy run before making the changes.
If U are receiving this error message An error occurred while attempting to open the specified URL it may require a modification to the registry.
IT IS IMPORTANT U FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. TINKERING IN THE REGISTRY BEYOND THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BELOW AND GETTING IT WRONG CAN,IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, CAUSE A SEVERE LOSS OF HUMOUR AFTER A RESTART AND WINDOWS REFUSES TO BOOT! IT IS WRITTEN FOR A COMPLETE NOVICE USER - more advanced users should navigate within Regedit to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command & make the browser adjustment given at 3d below.
Click Start>type regedit in the search box>REGEDIT.EXE will appear at the top of the list>click it>from the prompt allow the programme to run>U are now in the Registry.
a. Look in the LEFT PANE & at the top U will see HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. To the left of that key is an arrow. Click it to reveal a long list of Gobbledygook.
a. Double click on the word COMMAND. The word COMMAND should be highlighted blue.
b. Now look in the RIGHT HAND PANE and U will see an entry starting with an ICON next to the word (default). DOUBLE click on the word (default).
c. A box will appear. U will see an entry called VALUE DATA which will have data in it highlighted in blue. Click the keyboard DELETE key.Make sure ALL the entry is removed.
d. Now highlight & copy (CTRL+C) & then paste(CTRL+V) ALL THE BOLD TYPE BELOW into that box.
Once inserted click OK> the browser U have chosen should now show under DATA in the RIGHT PANE.
Now EXIT the registry by click the RED BOX with a X at the top RIGHT corner.
OK! I will get back with you later as to the results. I have learned that the problem is Internet Explorer. By setting Google Chrome as my default browser I am able to access the Community Forum.
Last edited on 17th Feb, 2011 15:22 Pleased U are OK.
If U want to convert Google to IE just follow my registry script.
Maurice, I had no problem following your registry edit. However, it was already set to the configuration you provided. I reset IE8 as my default browser but when I launch Community Forum it opens with Google Chrome not IE8. I do not follow this but it does allow me to access the Community Forum. I would like for Community Forum to open with IE8 but I have the workaround if that is not possible.
I do not use any other browser except IE therefore unable to say what tweak U need to make (if any) with Google.
If the Registry is set for IE that should be your default.
Anthony may look in - he uses Google & may be able to help so I would leave this thread open.
Thank you very much for the support! If Anthony has any words of wisdom I would be open to pursue the matter. Just a FYI - I had the error issue with the Community Forum link before I installed Google on my laptop. If I were to uninstall Google Chrome that would eliminate the Secunia Community Forum link from launching Google Chrome. I might try that but most likely I will be back to square one with the error problem using IE8. I just cannot figure out why I do not have the problem on my Desktop computer as it is pretty much the same as my Laptop. I even compared the Internet Options and did not find any differences. I do not have an A+ Certification but I have a good feel for computers and this has me baffled. However, I do not have the expertise with Secunia coding nor exposure to the interface problems that have developed. Do not know if it is significant or not but the problem started about the time I upgraded to version 2.0. I reinstalled version 2 but to no avail.
Simply resetting your default browser does not always work , especially if you have had another browser loaded/default previously and it left it's signature in the HKEY in the registry ; this can occur even when the "other" browser has been deleted from the machine .
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data \Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -- "%1"
(Substitute your username for \Administrator\ for this to work ) ???
Whilst I also use Chrome and Gmail , my default browser is Firefox and has it's correct HKEY setting # 3 , as illustrated , and is correctly selected by the PSI . Having said that , I usually work here in the forum using Chrome which gives me a better display/control for my ageing myopic vision .
I don't know Win7 , but in the past , stopping all default browser settings in both the configuration panel (or what has replaced it in 7) and your individual browsers' settings , reselecting your/a default and putting in the correct string in the registry HKEY has worked ; I'm not sure deleting the interfering browser was ever helpful , but rule nothing out . If IE is in the string , it sounds possible that IE is not set properly as default somewhere ; neither is it impossible that another registry setting for Google Chrome is interfering ; but there it goes past my knowledge/competence .
Also bear in mind , that if you are stuck with Chrome (at least for the moment) then both it and Firefox have the IETab extension which allows you to run as IE in their browser .
Not sure if this adds anything ; could you just answer my two questions anyway .
PS : the old reboot /cold start trick when resetting windows defaults might be pertinent !!
Think U have got that already.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome. which is for 64 Bit systems.
The one given by Anthony("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome) is for a 32 Bit system & should not be used.
Sorry for the delay in getting back with you - had to attend to other issues!
My response is for both Maurice and Anthony since both of you have responded. To answer Anthony's question "does the registry string change to Google when I set Google Chrome as the default browser" - Yes it does and resets to IE when I make IE the default browser. To answer Maurice's recommendation to recheck to see if the registry string is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome - I did that and it is correct for my 64 bit Windows 7 OS. I do not know what else to offer for evaluation. If you have no other troubleshooting suggestions I guess I will just live with my current configuration. As long as the Secunia Community Forum link opens with Google Chrome I have access to the database which works for now. If ever Secunia Community Forum decides to open with IE8 than I will be back to square one with the error message.
I appreciate your prompt responses and follow-up! Until one of us has additional information to pursue I consider this matter to be in the pending file.
Another stupid question : you are using the 32 bit and not the 64 bit version of IE ??
I seem to remember a workaround posted (some time ago) to always enable/select IE . Will look for it when I have the time .
IE 32Bit is the default with any 64 Bit version of Windows & there is no option to change it. To use the 64 Bit browser U must activate it by a standalone icon.
Excellent to use for research but limited for everyday use because most vendors have not yet developed their wares to work with it.
Thank you for clearing up that point , I understood that 32 bit was default but wasn't sure how easy it is/was to select the 64 bit option .
@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /c start \"\" \"%1\""
Not pretty with the short-lived popup command window, but it works (tested on my 32 bit Vista Home Premium).
Note that this does not solve the problem with Secunia not recognizing IE as the default browser. " UNQUOTE .
Not sure if it is too complicated and I guess needs modifying for a 64 bit system and , of course , it should also be taken in context of Jhertel's full postings to the/his thread .
Maybe you would like to look at it and advise Bob .
I prefer not to mess with the registry as workarounds in the registry almost always leads to other issues. I removed Google Chrome from my laptop which locked Secunia Community Forum into IE8 and the resulting error message. I reinstalled Google Chrome and Secunia Community Forum immediately hijacked Chrome although it was not the default browser. In so doing I can access the Secunia Community Forum which works for me. It is clear to me that a problem lies within the Secunia Community Forum link programming and/or IE8. Since IE9 is near release (the beta is on the street now) I will install it when it is out of beta - perhaps this will help or shed some light on the matter. Unless you have further words of wisdom I will wait on IE9 and see if that resolves the issue. If not, I will continue to let Secunia hijack Google Chrome - assuming it will continue to do so. If necessary I will make Google Chrome the default browser but I prefer not to do that.
IE9 is beyond BETA. It is RC & I have it installed.
Superb & working like a dream.

Pardon the delayed text that was supposed to supplement this image when I first posted it here. The end of the year is usually a time of instability that involves one to be constantly on the move, in other words to travel back and forth to see family and friends. As for this "season of giving" what could be better than arriving with a hand-picked gift item to express affection and appreciation? Well, if you agree then Martha Rosler would be more than happy to sell you that little sentimental something from her garage sale.
Currently occupying the atrium space of MoMA until November 30th is Meta-Monumental Garage Sale, an installation that takes on the epic-scale of a real-life garage sale inundated with items collected by artist Martha Rosler. I have been liking Martha Rosler's work since in my early art-school years. The very first work I remember seeing was Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975). Although in this installation (when the piece first realized in 1973 it was called Monumental Garage Sale, and now MoMA houses its latest staging or re-staging) Martha Rosler might seem to have softened a bit compared to Semiotics of the Kitchen in terms of her black-and-white and blatant social critique of the traditional role of woman at home and in society. Nonetheless, don't be fooled by her amiable and friendly sales-techniques because she is just as critical of the current popular behavior in consumer culture and forthright in making obvious our increasing fetish of constantly buying things in hopes to fill a psychological void with material objects.

All feedbacks and comments are welcome. As we are still in the editing phase. Barbara Chase-Riboud has been a prolific artist, novelist, and poet for five decades. Her well-researched narrative history novels emphasize forgotten people and events of cultural significant that change the way we understand our past. As a poet, Chase-Riboud is eloquent and spontaneous. Simultaneously, her poems like her drawings inform her artistic practice as a sculptor. Focusing on form and material, her process as a sculptor is altogether different from writing. To Chase-Riboud, writing is a kind of accumulation of informa
Rosemarie Trockel at New Museum- An interview
Rosemarie Trockel is one of the most fascinating artists of her generation warranted by her vastly array of subjects while exploring wide range of medium with variously different techniques. Furthermore, her eclectic world of ideas of which inspired her work manifest her relentless interest in human existence and in history. If one should like to be able to fully appreciate and immerse into Trockel's works and ideas, it would mean to be given the chance to behold concurrently her body of work and along with the objects, the works and the documentations of history that she finds inspirational. Opening on October 24th at the New Museum , Rosemarie Trockel: A Cosmos is an exhibition unlike any other museum retrospectives. Rather than a straightforward chronology of the artist's body of work throughout the decades, this exhibition presents a combination of works by Trockel and works by other artists and the objects from different cultures and eras that form an imaginary universe.

The "Internal server error" warning message appears in the various application pages, pages without performance data or corrupted pages are displayed, or page cannot be loaded issues might be encountered after the application is updated to a newer version.
The various issues that occur after upgrading the application to a new version could be manifested in various ways, and some of the most common symptoms are listed here.
The cause of those problems is the way web browsers are handling the cache. After the upgrade of the application, the browser still tries to use and call the pages he keeps stored in the cache, but changes made in a newer version prevents the browser to complete the page loading correctly, which causes the described issues.
To resolve the problem, clear the cache in the web browser used with the application. Since it is not possible to predict whether and where the problem will occur after updating to the newer version, it is advisable to perform browser cache clearing after every application update to prevent potential issues.

Kibbles'n' bits: more than 1000 conventions in the UShttp://ift.tt/1jbs8d7
Welcome back from what I trust was a wonderful holiday that did not result in too much indigestion for all of you. I've spent the holiday eating and sleeping and then doing some much needed maintenance around the virtual Stately Beat Manor. Probably not enough, but a good few important projects for 2014 got at least past the blueprint stage. More to come.
One task I assigned myself was pruning my RSS reader, left a shambles in the wake of Google Reader's death. Why did I even spend time on such an obsolete technology? Well, nostalgia mostly, it gave me a good chance to look back to view the carnage left behind. So many who started out strong and then petered out, so many who never had a chance. It also led me to observe in a Tweet that print comics journalism isn't exactly goings strong.
Four years later and nothing has replaced this. http://ift.tt/1bavrg9

One casualty whose remains I stopped to offer a proper burial was Con-news.com that just gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, but not before offering a list of comic, video game, pop culture and anime cons more than 1000 entries long. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. No wonder there are so many Con Wars — and more to come! I've transferred the list to a page here for reference, although I'm not really equipped to maintain it.
In case you are wondering, the other site that covers con news is Convention Scene. As extensive as both sites are, they don't even list more CAF-like events — for instance this weekend's Short Run in Seattle wasn't included, so the total number of comics-esque events is even bigger.
Anyway, where was I. Kibbles 'n' Bits.
§ Y'all saw this bit where actress Jaime Alexander, who plays Sif in the Thor movies, visited a chidlren's hospital in costume, right? Nice story.
§ Supporting Small Business Saturday, President Obama visited Politics and Prose, a much liked bookstore in DC and one where many a comics person has signed. Among his purchases: Crockett Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon, which prompted Eric Reynolds on FB to urge the President to look into Fantagraphics' Barnaby reprints.

§ One of those stories is doubtless The Killing Joke, and comic store employee Billy Hines posted the ORIGINAL version of the page where Jim Gordon is shown photos of his daughter Barbara being tortured, and the sexual element was even more present in Brian Bolland's original. Ick.
§ Social media scholar Henry Jenkins investigates the origins of Comics Fandom in Poland
Until only a few years ago, history, and especially the 20th century, was the predominant subject of Polish comics. Nowadays that is not the case as more and more psychological and autobiographical stories or even superhero fictions are published. Nevertheless, historical comics, lavishly subsidized by cultural institutions, are still the essential part of the comics' scene. This obsession with history may result from the fact that the situation of comics in Poland has always been influenced by national political and historical struggles. After the war, when the communist government was established, the official attitude towards comics was somewhat ambivalent. On one hand, comics were perceived as a medium developed in capitalist countries and representing the corrupted American lifestyle. It is interesting that a lot of communist propaganda's arguments and accusations—for example, those concerning promoting violence, sex and children's demoralization — sounded as if they had been taken directly from Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent.
§ Dustin Harbin is having a Cyber Monday sale.
§ Salon chatted with always insightful Joe Sacco
It's almost subliminally reminding people of things over and over. Yeah, but without hitting them over the head — it's just background information. The other thing I think a comic does well is that it can take the reader into the past, very seamlessly. Because your drawing style is the same now as if you're drawing something a hundred years ago, and so the reader has an easier transition, which can be difficult to do with a documentary film; sometimes documentary film relies on acting to bring the past to life, and that always seems strange — it rubs up against the nature of documentary film.
§ I know THought Bubble was the greatest event in recent human history, but it was interesting to read the con report by Gary Spencer Millidge as it was a bit more concerned with mundane things:
The popular view is that more exhibitors (assuming the same number of attendees) mean less money spent at each table, making it difficult for those exhibitors to make a profit (I don't know the numbers of attendees for his year). There are always winners and losers of course, but even the relative losers that I spoke to just seemed happy to be part of it all such was the positive vibe of the event. It'll be interesting to see how Thought Bubble develops from here. I have no idea whether the new space is permanent, or whether the convention will revert to its original size next year. Certainly the overwhelming impression I got was yet another year of huge success and stellar achievement for Clark, Lisa and the army of redcoats, and you can put down the minor issues with Allied London Hall as a symptom of growing pains
§ The guy who currently holds the IT job for Penny Arcade responded to the whole brouhaha about their help wanted ad to replace him:
I want to be clear here. When I started, I was a fairly well trained software/web developer, and I could handle general IT about as well as anyone else with a CS degree. I had fairly limited exposure to systems administration; anyone who knew how to type 'apt-get install apache2′ knew about as much as I did. If I had had to apply for the job with the presently listed requirements, I might not have gotten the offer. But I had a very strong idea of my limitations and what I would need to do to get the job done in spite of them. So what does the job actually require? If you want to do well, the job posting is absolutely accurate. I helped write most of the technical requirements. Because I've been learning as I go, I've had to constantly triage out tasks and rely heavily on outside help – Rackspace's Managed Cloud support is an incredible (albeit costly) resource, @Icyliquid has saved my ass more times than I can count, and the support of the shadowy PAX Engineering team, made up of Enforcers who are also IT or development professionals that I informally manage, has also been a huge boon. It seems like a herculean task for just one person.
§ Fantagraphics has released information on one of the books by Jacques Tardi left in limbo by Kim Thompson's death. It will come out and a new translator has been found.
Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell by Jacques Tardi, adapted from a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette; translated by Doug Headline 104-page black & white 7.25" x 10.5" hardcover • $19.99 ISBN: 978-1-60699-620-1 Following the acclaimed West Coast Blues and Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, Jacques Tardi makes a third appointment with ace crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette, full of pitch-black humor and a strong current of socio-political satire beneath its bleak surface. A rich industrialist hires a troubled young woman straight out of a psychiatric asylum to nanny his bratty son. But this seemingly altruistic impulse to help rehabilitate a troubled soul hides a darker motive: plans to stage a fake kidnapping of the child, using the nanny as a scapegoat. But things go horribly wrong, and now nanny and child are on the run, pursued both by the police and by a dangerous contract killer with a Terminator-like tenacity.

§ Michael Maslin proposes a new categorization for cartoonists.
I pose this simple question: is it possible to divide New Yorker cartoonists into two distinct camps: Astaire Cartoonists and Kelly Cartoonists? Are there some cartoonists whose work seems effortless, like Astaire's? Do others show the sweat, and muscularity of Kelly's performances? Well of course I think the answer is yes. I'm not saying Astaire's dancing was better than Kelly's or vice-versa – I'm just saying they were different. This has everything to do with what cartoons look like on the printed page or glowing screen and how a cartoonist's work appears to the reader's eye. Is the reader aware of the mechanics of the drawing (do you see the sweat?) or does the cartoon seem effortless?

FACE FACTS: NETS AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT SIXERS!
"We'd like to make that excuse, obviously this is a learning experience. For a lot of us, this is our first time playing big minutes in the playoffs," Netsd Spencer Dinwiddie said. "But we were right there [in Game 4]. We feel like we should've won. We weren't saying this was a learning experience when we won Game 1. So we can't fall back on that now. We need to try to pull off something incredible."
By Sally Fahey
Winning in the NBA postseason isn't easy.
Especially when you are coming up short in talent and experience — two pretty important elements.
Which adds up to the fact that the Nets are overmatched against the Sixers.
After rolling to an easy road win in Game 1, the Nets got routed in Games 2 and 3. Then they got their hearts broken in testy Game 4 loss that saw yet another Joel Embiid flagrant, Jared Dudley and Jimmy Butler ejected and GM Sean Marks suspended and fined for going into the officials' locker room. Dudley was also fined Sunday.
Now Marks will be suspended for their do-or-die game Tuesday in Philly, his Nets facing elimination with tall odds stacked against them. But they did enough in Game 4 to give them hope of getting a win in Game 5.
"Definitely so. We came out here we played our hardest, and I know we came up short but there's a lot of things we can improve on," Jarrett Allen said. "There's a lot of mistakes we made out there, a lot of little mistakes, and if we fix those, I think we can take it."
The Nets made a host of mistakes late, taking a 101-94 lead with 5:20 left only to let the Sixers close the game on an 18-7 run.
"We got a little out of sorts had a few turnovers," coach Kenny Atkinson said.
Five turnovers to be exact, along with 3-of-8 shooting as they were undone by the 76ers' length and their own inexperience.
"It was a little bit of both," Allen said. "On the court at the end of the game I think it was almost all of our first playoffs, except for Joe [Harris], so it's kind of tough for us. Not tough, but we need to be better in the end of the games, especially in the playoffs when we know it's going to be more difficult than the regular season."

Emin Araz oğlu Ağalarov (* 12. Dezember 1979 in Baku, Aserbaidschanische SSR, Sowjetunion, heute Aserbaidschan) ist ein russisch-aserbaidschanischer Sänger und Komponist.

Sein Vater war Mitarbeiter des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes und wurde im Zuge des Zerfalls der Sowjetunion ein russischer Oligarch. Emin genoss eine internationale Ausbildung; u. a. ging er in der Schweiz zur Schule und studierte in den USA (New York).

Er feiert sowohl als Jazz- als auch als Popsänger große Erfolge und wurde sowohl in Aserbaidschan als auch in Russland vor allem durch seine Singles Still und Don't Cry berühmt. Im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichte er sein Album Wonder in Großbritannien. Seine Titel Obvious, Falling, Just For One Night und Any Time You Fall wurden Hits. Emin Ağalarov ist der erste osteuropäische Künstler, dessen Album bei BBC Radio 2 als Record of the Week vorgestellt wurde.
Mit dem Titel Boomerang erregte Emin 2015 durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Nile Rodgers große internationale Aufmerksamkeit. "Boomerang" war in der Playlist des BBC Radio 2 (Europas größtem Radiosender) und gelangte in die Top 40 der UK's Music Week's charts. Der Remix von "Boomerang" erreichte sogar Platz #9 der Billboard's dance charts.

Das Album Nachistoty wurde vom russischen Musiksender MUZ TV als bestes Album 2015 ausgezeichnet. Sein Album FALLING 8 wurde Ende 2015 in rein russischer Sprache veröffentlicht und war wenige Tage später bereits #3 der Albumverkäufe auf ITunes. Der "Sexiest man in Russia" (ZD Awards 2015) erhielt zahlreiche nationale und internationale Auszeichnungen, darunter 2014 auch den World Music Award.

Mit seinem Song Never Enough aus dem Album After the Thunder trat er beim Finale des Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku als Showact auf. Im Februar 2014 war er im Rahmen der dritten Episode von Schulz in the Box im deutschen Fernsehen zu sehen.
Emins TV-Präsenz umfasst unter anderem BBC Breakfast, Extra, ITV's Daybreak, Fox, Entertainment Tonight, Pro 7, The Today Show, E!. Auch internationale Printmedien berichteten über ihn, darunter The Sunday Times, The Sun, Bild, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, GQ, Esquire, OK!, Forbes Austria.

Emin war mit Leyla Əliyeva, einer der beiden Töchter des Präsidenten von Aserbaidschan, İlham Əliyev, verheiratet. Er ist Vizepräsident der von seinem Vater Aras Agalarov gegründeten Crocus Group und fokussiert sich hier insbesondere auf die Entwicklung und Vermarktung der Crocus City in Moskau.

Recently, we received a special Elder's Fund offering to build a dormitory for adolescent girls who attend our Mairowa school in Tanzania. The details and need were shared in the video below, The offering raised approximately $300,000, which will cover the building costs as well as initial staffing. This dorm will provide a safe place for the girls to live, study and thrive as they experience God's love and care for them. More information on the project will be shared as construction progresses. We praise God for the opportunity to meet this need.


Romero's true genius shone in the way he wrested the conventions of horror away from the drawing-room-and-fireplace set and into the hands of the working and middle classes. He put horror behind the roll-up garage door and in the shopping mall, and made the Rust Belt town and the suburban nowhere as important to the genre as the romantic Carpathian mountainscape and crumbling castle had been to the gothic tradition. Though his zombie films, as well as movies like The Crazies and Martin, Romero tore down the wispy, billowing curtains and put up plastic blinds; blew out the candles and replaced them with dangling bare bulbs; swapped the cobwebbed grand staircase with the creaky basement stairs, the iron portcullis with the plywood door, the horse-drawn carriage with the Amtrak. Everybody owes him some kind of debt.

DURHAM, N.C. — Bria Hartley scored 15 points and No. 3 Connecticut beat No. 5 Duke, 61-45, on Monday night to snap the Blue Devils' 34-game winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Caroline Doty added 11 points for the Huskies (20-2). They shot 45 percent, held Duke to a season-low 24.6 percent shooting and forced 19 consecutive missed shots during a critical stretch of roughly 12 minutes en route to their 10th straight win.
Chelsea Gray scored 13 points for the Blue Devils (17-3), who had won 11 straight overall. It was their first loss at Cameron since UConn visited two years ago.
Elizabeth Williams added 10 points on 3-of-15 shooting for Duke, and her layup with just under 18 minutes left was the Blue Devils' last basket until Haley Peters hit a 3-pointer with less than six minutes remaining.
Duke trailed by 14 late in the first half before putting together a 12-3 run that bridged the break. The Blue Devils forced five turnovers in the first six minutes of the half, and Williams helped Duke close to 34-29 with a free throw with 17:19 left.
That's when UConn took over and began stretching its lead with 3-pointers. The Huskies hit four — two by Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis — in a nine-minute stretch before Tiffany Hayes added a bucket in the lane, pushing it to 50-33 with seven minutes left, and Duke didn't get closer than 12 the rest of the way.
Stefanie Dolson added 10 points for UConn, which overcame 21 turnovers by forcing 15 from Duke. The Huskies entered with the nation's toughest defense by shooting percentage, holding opponents to 30 percent.


Our yarns consist of wool in two different types - Soft and Heavy Duty. Wool is the main material and can be combined with Tencel yarn for lustrous effect or Linen yarn for contrast in texture.
The wool yarns are 100% New Zealand wool and consist of long durable fibers. The yarns are dyed through the whole fiber which results in a deep brilliant color that stays intact even when the fibers wear in use. The dyes are hard wearing and 100% free of toxins.
The soft wool yarn comes in 99 colors and can be tufted in cut pile 12mm or 14mm and loop pile 8mm, 10mm or 12mm. The loop and cut piles can be combined side by side for variations in the surface structure of the rug.
The heavy duty wool is spun tighter than the soft quality and thus holds more fibers in the yarn. This makes the yarn very durable and dense. Heavy Duty comes in 54 brilliant colors and and can be produced in cut pile 12mm, 14mm or 25mm and loop pile 10mm. Cut and loop piles can run side by side in the rug and can even be combined as a very low 8mm "cutloop" pile.
Tencel is made out of the fibers of an Eucalyptus tree. It is a natural fiber and has a beautiful silken sheen to it. We like to add it for a luxurious extra lustre effect. Tencel yarns come in 36 beautiful colors.
Linen yarns give a hardiness to the structure of the rug. We combine it with wool to add contrast in structure and give posture to longer piles. Wanted's wool-linen design rugs are ORAS and SILMU.


Can the Sonoff Bridge REALLY transmit on 433Mhz ?
followed by the same values you see during 'learning' mode, followed by 0x55.
When i try this, the red led lights, but nothing appears to happen.
The test is with a 433Mhz doorbell.
The Sonoff learns the code immediately when the doorbell button is pressed, yet fails to activate the doorbell using the 0XA5 command, even when it is resent 10 times.
I read somewhere that someone tested with an RF scanner and saw nothing transmitted.

A Surprising Explanation For Why Some Immigrants Excel In Science
Anya Kamenetz
Arriving in the United States after age 10 makes it harder to learn English. (NPR/Chelsea Beck)
Seventeen-year-old Indrani Das just won the top high school science prize in the country. Das, who lives in Oradell, N.J., took home $250,000 from the former Intel Science Talent Search, now the Regeneron Science Talent Search, for her study of brain injuries and neuron damage. In her spare time, she's already working with patients as a certified EMT.
In last year's contest, according to one study, more than 80 percent of finalists were, like Das, the children of immigrants. As the Times of India pointed out, Das, a Jersey girl whose parents were born in Kolkata, was one of five Indian Americans among the competition's top ten finishers.
What is it that spurs so many people with foreign roots to excel in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM disciplines? The cultural stereotype is broad; it sweeps in both immigrants and their children from many different parts of the world.
Some invoke tropes like that of the "Tiger Mother," for an explanation.
Not Marcos Rangel. For a new study published in the journal Demography, Rangel, an economist at Duke University, and his co-author, Marigee Bacolod of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, looked at U.S. Census data for young adults who arrived in the United States before age 18. The data covers in detail the relative skills required for different occupations, such as physical strength, communication skills, social skills, math and reasoning. For those who went to college, they were also able to see what major they chose.
What's unique about this study is that Bacolod and Rangel subdivided the immigrants in two ways. First, whether they arrived in early childhood, before age 10. Second, whether their native language was linguistically close to English — say, German — or less similar — say, Vietnamese. Most linguists agree that these two factors have a dramatic impact on someone's chances of becoming perfectly fluent in a second language.
Immigrants in general, he found, were markedly more likely to choose jobs that require physical strength. This may reflect barriers to accessing higher education. However, they were also relatively more likely to choose jobs that require math and logic or social and emotional skills rather than relying on communication skills. And among the subset of immigrants who attended college, the ones who arrived later and from more linguistically distinct places — think the Vietnamese teen, not the German toddler — were many times more likely to major in a STEM field.
"If it were just as easy for me to write with my left hand as with my right, I would be using both. But no, I specialize," Rangel says. In the same way, academically motivated students who have to play catch-up in English class may prefer to zoom ahead in the universal language of mathematics.
Rangel, who came here from Brazil as a young father, has seen this dynamic play out in his own family. "The younger one, who went to Pre-K in English, is different from my kid who came at five already reading Portuguese," he says. The older one is more inclined toward math.
To be clear, Rangel doesn't discount the notion that cultural values may also influence immigrants' career choices, or those of their children for that matter.
But he is out to tell a more nuanced story — "a movie, not just a photograph," he says — of how people develop different skills and talents.
Das exemplifies this nuance. A former spelling bee champion as well as a science whiz, she told one newspaper that she sought out medicine as a kind of rebellion after her parents tried to discourage her from the field.
