Princess Eugenie wore a chic twist headband with her tweed dress during her latest royal engagement, reminding us of Kate Middleton's signature hair accessories.
Eugenie visited the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where she had scoliosis surgery at the age of 12, with husband Jack Brooksbank and father Prince Andrew.
The event also marked Eugenie and Jack's first royal engagement as a married couple.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, who wed in October, made their first joint royal engagement as a married couple yesterday. The duo accompanied her father, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital to celebrate the opening of a new building.
For the daytime event, Princess Eugenie went with a lovely cream tweed skater dress by Maje, according to Town & Country. She completed the ladylike ensemble with black pumps and a bracelet bag, which appears to be one of Chloé's popular designs. Meanwhile, her hubby dressed up in a black suit and red tie.
The best part of her look, however, was arguably the black knotted headband by Alexandre de Paris that she wore over her auburn lob. The leather hair accessory gave her prim and proper look a light touch of edge.
Eugenie's headpiece was reminiscent of her cousin-in-law Kate Middleton's style. The Duchess of Cambridge has recently stepped out with thick, sometimes '90s-inspired, headbands with some of her more formal royal ensembles, like tea-length frocks and coat dresses.
In November, she wore a thick black velvet style with a green coat while attending Remembrance Day services with the royal family at Westminster Abbey. Then in January, the duchess wore a blue bowed iteration (that matched her coat, of course) for a church service in Sandringham with Prince William.
Princess Eugenie was also named a patron of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital during her visit. The institution holds a special place in her heart. "This hospital is part of who I am after being operated on when I was 12," she wrote in her Instagram Story. "I was so lucky to have Jack come with me, so I could show him where I had life changing surgery."
Royal fans may recall Eugenie underwent corrective surgery for scoliosis when she was a tween, resulting in a sizable scar running down her spine. She bravely showed off her scar to raise awareness about the condition by sporting a low-cut gown for her royal wedding last fall.

Analysis: Former al Qaeda operative freed, sent home to Qatar
by The Long War Journal | Jan 20, 2015 | Monitor |
Editor's Note: For more on Qatar's track record in fighting terrorism, see Dr. Weinberg's report for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Center on Sanctions & Illicit Finance, Qatar and Terror Finance, Part 1: Negligence.
Ali Saleh Kahlah al Marri, an admitted former al Qaeda operative, has been released from a American jail and permitted to return home to Qatar.
No formal statement has been released yet by either government, but it is being reported that al Marri's release was the result of a bilateral agreement between the Qatari and American governments. According to the US Bureau of Prisons, a prisoner with the same name and estimated age (ID number 12194-026) was freed on Friday.
Additionally, a source from al Marri's family told the Qatari press he was recently released and arrived in Doha Saturday. Soon afterwards, the story was confirmed by Agence France Presse (AFP), which spoke to al Marri's nephew.
This followed statements by two of his former attorneys that he was expected to be released within days. And photographs have been posted on social media that reportedly show al Marri coming home to his children for the first time in over a decade. A Kuwaiti newspaper posted video of a man identified as al Marri at the airport in Doha bumping noses with male relatives and kissing his mother's feet.
An al Qaeda sleeper agent
Ali Saleh Kahlah al Marri was at one point the only enemy combatant detained on US soil. According to the terms of a plea deal he accepted in 2009, al Marri "was instructed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to enter the United States no later than September 10, 2001" and to await further instructions. Mohammed, also known as KSM, was serving at the time as the chief of al Qaeda's external operations and is considered the mastermind of 9/11 attacks. According to the FBI in 2009, "Ali al-Marri was an al-Qaeda 'sleeper' operative working on U.S. soil."
President George W. Bush indicated that the US intelligence community believes al Marri discussed various targets with KSM, including "water reservoirs, the New York Stock Exchange, and United States military academies." Bush also described him as "a present and grave danger to US national security."
The plea bargain accepted by al Marri acknowledged that his computer's search history included research on "various cyanide substances" according to "the method taught by al Qaeda for manufacturing cyanide gas," as well as research on "dams, waterways and tunnels in the United States, which is also consistent with al Qaeda attack planning regarding the use of cyanide gases". The plea deal also noted that "between 1998 and 2001" he "attended various training camps because he wished to engage in jihad".
In other court documents, US officials alleged that KSM chose al Marri to be an al Qaeda sleeper agent because he had a family and would therefore be less likely to attract suspicion. He was pulled over in a routine traffic stop two days after 9/11 when a police officer saw al Marri's son standing up in the moving car's back seat.
Al Marri was then briefly arrested on an old warrant for driving under the influence and raised authorities' suspicions when he paid his $300 bail out of a briefcase full of bundles of hundred dollar bills. Al Marri would later acknowledge receiving these funds from an al Qaeda financial facilitator in the United Arab Emirates, Mustafa Hawsawi, whom KSM had instructed him to visit. Soon afterwards, al Marri was detained again when law enforcement officials confirmed a telephone at his home had been used to contact Hawsawi, whom they had already connected to one of the 9/11 hijackers.
Hawsawi was captured alongside KSM in early March 2003 and then held in the CIA's controversial detention and interrogation program before being transferred to Guantanamo, where he remains in detention.
Reason for release unclear
Al Marri's release seems to be the end result of a process set in motion by President Obama during his first month in office.
Al Marri had been held for years under solitary confinement at the Navy Brig in Charleston, South Carolina. But President Obama directed the government to reconsider his case in parallel to reviewing all the cases of detainees held at Guantanamo. The president ordered the Defense Department to transfer al Marri to the custody of the Justice Department, which would try him in a civilian court.
However, it is unclear as to why the United States released al Marri now. Taking into consideration what the judge called al Marri's "unacceptable" treatment by the military, al Marri was sentenced to only an additional eight years and four months in prison in late October 2009. His sentence had already been reduced from fifteen years to account for his time in custody of the military. That would have meant a release in early 2018. The reasons for Al Marri's early departure from prison have not been made public. He may have received credit for prior time served in civilian jails and possibly also for good behavior.
The Journal Star newspaper in Peoria, Illinois, where al Marri was living in 2001, reports that he was "was spirited out of the United States on Friday [Jan. 16], two days before he was scheduled to be released from a maximum security prison" in Florence, Colorado. The paper elaborated that "the move was unknown to his attorney Andrew Savage of Charleston, S.C., who had met with his client just one day before."
Initially, it was unclear whether or not the US government had negotiated ground rules with the Qatari government to justify his repatriation there. However, a Qatari-owned Arabic news outlet based in London, al-Araby al-Jadeed, quotes sources close to al Marri's family claiming that his release was the result of a bilateral agreement between the two governments.
Even if the United States did reach some sort of prior understanding about the terms of his release, Doha has violated these sorts of commitments in the past.
Qatar's negligent record
The US government's decision to repatriate al Marri to Qatar is a curious one, to say the least.
Ali al Marri's brother, Jarallah Saleh Kahlah al Marri, was detained at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border shortly after 9/11 and subsequently held at Guantanamo. According to a leaked threat assessment prepared by Joint Task Force – Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), Jarallah al Marri also spent time at al Qaeda training camps and was suspected of seeking to transfer $10,000 in operational funds to his brother at KSM's direction. He was released back to Doha's supervision in 2008.
The Qatari government violated a pledge to Washington on how it would handle Jarallah al Marri. He was repatriated based on an explicit, written commitment from Qatar that he would not be allowed to leave the country. Qatar even promised to notify Washington immediately if he merely tried to do so.
And yet Washington found out from British authorities that they had arrested Jarallah al Marri on charges of visa fraud, after he had been permitted to leave Qatar not once but twice without mention from the Qatari government. The US ambassador in Doha at the time concluded that the decision to let Jarallah travel was "almost certainly" a decision that involved Qatar's attorney general, who outrageously contended he "was bound only by signed judicial assistance agreements and not diplomatic notes".
At least once Qatar also withheld cooperation from the United States on the case of Ali al Marri himself. A leaked US cable from October 2008 stated that Qatar's attorney general "decline[d] our judicial request on Ali al-Marri," specifically refusing to honor "a long-standing request for banking records" involving him.
More broadly, Qatar has been labeled a permissive jurisdiction for terror finance by the US Treasury Department. It is home to several individuals on US or UN blacklists who allegedly provided high-level funding to al Qaeda. Local authorities have refused to charge the suspected al Qaeda financiers with a crime.
And the last time Qatar promised to keep an alleged senior terrorist operative "under control," that individual showed up several years later on Treasury sanctions announcements as having again transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to al Qaeda's senior leadership abroad.
Received as a hero
Ali al Marri's reception in Qatar so far should raise additional concerns in the counterterrorism community. The Qatari government has given no public sign it plans to supervise his activities, nor has it indicated disapproval of his prior al Qaeda role. It is unlikely he will face further charges in Qatari court, and he is not currently being detained.
Worse, al Marri is being received as a returning hero.
Abdulrahman al Nuaymi has been blacklisted by the US and UN on charges of terror finance yet enjoys legal impunity in Qatar. Al Nuaymi welcomed the news of Al Marri's release on his Twitter account, while also minimizing any suggestion of wrongdoing on al Marri's part.
"Praise Allah, Brother Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri has been released and returned to his country and his people after thirteen years in the prisons of global injustice (America)," a post on al Nuaymi's Twitter feed reads.
Al Nuaymi is not the only one celebrating al Marri's return. According to The Guardian (UK), al Marri's nephew revealed that upon arrival in Doha, his uncle "was greeted by representatives from the Qatari interior and foreign ministries" and is now in "high spirits." He thanked Qatari officials for exerting "tremendous efforts" for his uncle's release.
Similarly, the editor-in-chief of one of Qatar's main newspapers, al-Arab, proclaimed in Arabic on Twitter: "We thank Allah for his favor in returning Brother Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, who was detained by America. Our congratulations to him and to his family, and many thanks to all those who followed his case and worked for his return."
Another major Qatari paper, al-Sharq, covered his release without polemics, but it also elided any mention of al Marri's plea bargain or its contents, including his admitted connection to al Qaeda and plotting against civilian targets. In fact, the story did not even note that he was accused of involvement with al Qaeda, instead simply stating that he was detained in the US in the aftermath of 9/11.
Only one of two articles by the Qatari-owned UK outlet al-Araby al-Jadeed included some limited details from al Marri's plea bargain, but the article quoted Qatar's former minister of justice basically dismissing those admissions as a means to an end for al Marri to get released. The paper also quoted the head of Qatar's state-controlled National Human Rights Commission, who revealed that his group had been pushing US officials for years for Ali al Marri's immediate release.
If this collective amnesia is reflective of how the Qatari authorities feel, Doha will likely give al Marri free rein, viewing him more as a victim than an admitted terrorist agent who plotted mass attacks against civilians for the sake of jihad. This risk seems especially acute given that a Twitter account appearing to belong to his brother, Jarallah, recently lavished praise upon Osama bin Laden and repeatedly publicized a fundraising campaign for Syria that was shut down after allegedly serving as a financial conduit for the Al Nusra Front, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria.
During her confirmation hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the current US envoy to Doha, Ambassador Dana Shell Smith, pledged that if confirmed she would monitor the so-called Taliban Five "continuously" at "the very top of my list of priorities." The Taliban Five is a group of senior Taliban leaders who were exchanged for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl last year. Qatar helped broker the swap.
Smith testified she would work "every morning when I wake up, every night when I go to sleep, to reassess whether these people [the Taliban Five] pose any threat whatsoever, to our national security."
Smith may wish to add the al Marri brothers to the list of jihadists she monitors.

It's summer and having got fed up with my need to hoard old kit, an office revolution took place and a bunch of old laptops were cleared out of the server room. 15 different models were dug out including the first two we bought when setting up Turtle 12 years ago and, since i'm overly sentimental even about hardware, I went out to lunch whilst most of them were taken to the great Laptop home in the sky. Our current laptops are all Macbooks or Macbook Pros and it's interesting (to me at least!) to see how far we've come.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember when that Compaq was the hot laptop to have. And I know folks still using those Tecras to program alarm panels -- they need DOS and RS232!

They want to take us back to 1776?! Really?! When black slaves counted as three fifths of a person's vote for their owners? When women were chattel and native peoples' were slaughtered?! When Christians burned people for being witches?! Yeah, Baby! Sign me up today! I can't wait to be ruled by white Christian males who believe God made them superior owners to all life on Earth.

Do Deep State Elements Operate Within the Protest Movement?
Jeez - Do bears poop in the woods?!
Of course none of this would be allowed to happen unless the deep state was involved. The US population is the most ignorant nation in the world when it comes to recognizing how evil their manipulators are.
We can still fight for the world we want to see though, even in the face of the sneaky, contriving opposition that's always been there.

People like Americans don't seem to learn from history. "It can't happen here," are famous last words before the takeover happening right before their very eyes.
It's astounding how the powers that be made Trump the virus denier, while the Democrats defend the lockdown with a fervor that rivals any dictator's dream. It's crazy to watch my liberal friends fall for the false flag when they think Trump is on the other side. If red Trump was on the lockdown side, the blue people would be freaking out at the thought of him locking down the nation. The oligarchs played that hand well, as the blue people now really believe their lives are in danger just walking around mask-less. My progressive friends have never believed the corporate media lies, nor the industries that back it, but now they all of a sudden believe the bastages have their best interest at heart. It's insane to watch.
No, not put to death, as the death penalty is their barbaric solution. We'll create a special prison, where they'll spend the rest of their lives, as we show live-stream videos of the better world we created with green energy programs, worker co-ops, and social programs designed to lift EVERYONE to their greatest human potential. It will be the best torture program we could design for that kind of power-lusting criminal - success of We the People working together and being the incredible change we want to see in the world.

Never trust any news organization that has any corporate industry backing it. Big pharma, big oil, big ag, big food, big ANYTHING. The anchors with plastic hair, perfect clothes, perfect smiles, and perfect, million-dollar paychecks will NEVER tell you the truth. They're in it for the love of money and power. They've sold their souls to the company stores who own them.
It's one reason I give what little I can to organizations like ICH, whose sole purpose is the same as their soul purpose - getting the truth to We the People.

The Department of Homeland Security put out a document called, "The Domestic Extremism Lexicon" a few years back. "This product provides definitions for key terms and phrases that often appear in DHS analysis that addresses the nature and scope of the threat that domestic, non-Islamic extremism poses to the United States." Number two on the alphabetical list is "alternative media," which reads, "(U//FOUO) A term used to describe various information sources that provide a forum for interpretations of events and issues that differ radically from those presented in mass media products and outlets." In a land in which the founding document is meant to protect free speech, this is now the new normal. In all actuality though, the FBI has always seen true free speech as a threat to the status quo.
Check it out! Virtually EVERYONE is on the list for being a possible domestic terrrrrrrist. https://fas.org/irp/eprint/lexicon.pdf
Sorry, but J. Edgar Hoover has always been a criminal.
One article: https://www.npr.org/2012/02/14/146862081/the-hist...
"Hoover saw the civil rights movement from the 1950s onward and the anti-war movement from the 1960s onward, as presenting the greatest threats to the stability of the American government since the Civil War," he says. "These people were enemies of the state, and in particular Martin Luther King [Jr.] was an enemy of the state. And Hoover aimed to watch over them. If they twitched in the wrong direction, the hammer would come down."

I noticed that too, E_GD. Antifa, is NOT a "legitimately dubbed terrorist group." It's an ANTI-FASCIST ideology, and not a "group" at all.
The US Government and its corporate handlers are the "terrorist groups" that pose the worst threat to both domestic and international peace and freedom.

Q: Use OpenCV on deployed Flask app (Heroku) Hello I seem to be having trouble importing opencv on my deployed flask app on Heroku!
I've referred to similar posts such as this this
"ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " but can't seem to figure out the next steps on windows.
This is what I've done so far:
1. gone to Heroku -> App -> Settings -> Buildpacks -> added Python buildpack
2. Added a Aptfile.txt to my directory with the following packages on each line (read this somewhere not sure if it makes any sense)
libsm6 , libxrender1 ,libfontconfig1, libice6
Notes:

*

*My openCV version--  opencv-python==3.4.3.18

*I'm on windows so the sudo commands recommended in the other post answers dont work

Thanks in advance!

A: Use opencv-python-headless it's out of libSM6 dependency.
pip install opencv-python-headless

A: put this line in requirments.txt

opencv-python-headless==4.2.0.32

South Korean firms join Agrilink 2019
(The Philippine Star) - June 16, 2019 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines — Leading South Korean firms, through FitCoreaTrading Philippines, will join the country's premier international trade exhibition on agriculture, food, and aquaculture, scheduled on Oct. 3 to 5.
This year's Agrilink, Foodlink and Aqualink will underscore the importance of a climate change-resilient agricultural industry in improving the livelihood of farmers and fisherfolks in Eastern Visayas.
The event will also highlight coconuts, the region's staple produce, while the regional focus will cover Biliran, Eastern and Northern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Samar.
FitCorea is the local representative of the Korea Agricultural Machinery Industry Cooperative (KAMICO), which comprises of South Korean farm machinery and equipment manufacturers.
Philip Kim, president of FitCorea said, "FitCorea and KAMICO are actively engaged in uplifting the Philippines' farming system through promotion of mechanization technologies."
"For over a decade, Agrilink continues to be our ideal platform in establishing more direct market linkages between Filipino farmers and producers in need of increased productivity and quality in their products while also helping South Korean companies find their niche in the Philippine market," he said.
Agrilink 2019 will feature a South Korean pavilion, which will showcase the latest innovations in agriculture — from food, postharvest, manufacturing, processing, engineering, machineries and equipment, cooling, heating and energy solutions, and marketing to water supply.
FitCorea supplies and distributes machineries used for plowing, cultivating, seeding, transplanting, harvesting, drying and milling. It also has post-harvest equipment such as mills, dryers, rotators and power harrows for crops such as rice, corn, onion and sugarcane.
It also supplies various machineries that include walking and riding transplanters and tractors, hydraulic rotavator for soil tilling, power seeder and weeder, combine harvester, and recirculating and multi-purpose dryers.
The South Korean pavilion in this year's Agrilink reflects the growing bilateral trade and investment in the Philippines totaling $13.7 million last year, placing South Korea as the country's fifth major trade partner.
Investments from South Korea have so far reached $35.79 million, mainly injected into real estate and manufacturing.
Philippine agricultural exports include corn silage andanimal feedstock, fishery products and tropical fruits like bananas.
The Department of Agriculture recently signed a P28 billion agreement to export various Philippine fruits to South Korean supermarkets.
KAMICO, led by president Shin-gil Kim, also participates in the South Korean government's development assistance and investment projects to the Philippines, through partnerships with the DA and other stakeholders. These include a farm equipment and machinery assembly plant that will be constructed on a 50-hectare area in Batangas.
The property will serve as a demonstration farm that will use locally fabricated and assembled farm machineries. It will also have training and research and development centers that will help improve the expertise of Filipino farmers and equipment operators.
Another is a $2.4 -million grant from South Korea through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service (EPIS). The grant was used for smart greenhouse projects that aim to boost production and competitiveness of smallholders and medium-scale farmers and broaden their access to export markets.
The solar-powered greenhouses can modernize and automate the supply chain, from setting the temperature to controlling amount of water or other inputs. The project was recently launched in Benguet and currently growing the Korean variety of cherry tomatoes, with plans to also grow potatoes and strawberries.

JKHub opens up!
JKHub is now open to the public
Roughly a year ago, work was first started on the Jedi Knight Hub, with the lofty goal of being the central website for all things related to Jedi Academy and (to a lesser extent) Jedi Outcast. Though many people thought it couldn't possibly work, I've never met a single person who didn't want it to work. Today, we are finally opening up to the public after our lengthy private testing and development period.
We hope to offer the Jedi Knight community lots of cool stuff that was never previously available. We offer a plethora of services, ranging from free webhosting to places to advertise your own clan or group. I'll go over a full list of services in the next paragraph.
JKHub is an initiative by Jedi Knight players. We are not funded by any corporation or commercial entities. We do not make any profit from JKHub, and our website is managed by a team of volunteers.
These are some of the services we offer at this moment. We're always looking to expand this list, and will be offering more in the very near future. Some very good reasons to hang around JKHub:
Our forum provides places to advertise, places to talk about modding, support with technical issues, a place to advertise your events to all of JKHub, and more. For trusted coders, we even provide a forum to discuss exploits and security issues and their solutions.
Our calendar, in conjunction with your events forum, allows you to advertise events to anyone frequenting JKHub.
We provide stable mod hosting that allows you to manage, edit, rate and comment on mods.
We provide a directory of links that can be used by communities to drive extra traffic to their website, or to easily find clans and modding resources, for example.
We provide tutorials, many of which are exclusive to our site. You can rate, discuss, and create your own tutorials.
We provide free webhosting that is currently used by a plethora of Jedi Knight websites, including very large ones.
We provide the JKHub Bar, that lets you drive more traffic to your website.
We provide JK3.in: a service that allows you to more easily connect to servers, without knowing their IPs.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be adding even more cool stuff to JKHub. We'll be posting several interviews, and keep you up to date on any Jedi Knight related news. We'll also be advertising on even more websites.
In short: stay tuned, even more cool stuff is on the way. Until then, if you're still reading this, why not check out the rest of the website and register if you haven't already? Maybe even say hello?
I've already thanked them privately, but I'd just like to once again thank over 150 current and former players who have been aiding development for over a year. They contributed in wildly varying ways, ranging from granting us permission to host their mods to creating graphics, but they are basically the one reason JKHub ever got as far as it did.
To our testers, you know who you are: thank you.
For those who find this post too long to read (and I don't blame you), here's a fun infographic instead, describing what JKHub is:

Michael Lohan & Kate Major Lose Custody Of Their Children
Amanda Lynne
Michael Lohan and his estranged wife Kate Major have lost custody of their two children. Michael, who is also the father of Lindsay Lohan, Ali Lohan, and Michael Lohan Jr., had his two young sons, Landon and Logan, taken by Child Protective Services last week.
According to a report from Radar Online, Michael Lohan and Kate Major were stripped of custody of their two sons by social work officials in Florida. The children were taken from the Lohan home after the Florida Department of Children and Families saw a video of Michael and Kate fighting in front of the 2-year-old and 10-month-old.
Authorities reportedly took Michael Lohan's sons and put them into foster care until his mother, Marilyn, flew to Florida and was given custody by officials. When Lohan spoke out about the incident, he cited a list of mistakes made by Kate Major involving anger issues and alcohol, and claims he's being punished for her actions.
"What's wrong with this picture? Kate went to jail for DWI and Michael raised Landon on his own for 8 months. Kate gets out of jail, gives birth to Logan, relapsed on alcohol, assaults Michael, Kate goes to rehab, Michael raises Landon and Logan on his own and has full custody. The court makes Kate live separately and have supervised visitation. [Kate] gets out of rehab, relapses on alcohol and goes into detox."
Lohan claims that the altercation caught on video that led to officials removing his children from the home came after Kate showed up drunk to his house and waited as he and the boys returned from a water park.
Michael Lohan claims that the court decided to take away custody from him and Kate Major because they believed he failed his sons by not protecting them and allowing Major to enter the home and then engaging her in a fight after he demanded that she leave. Michael says that all of the boys needs such as medical, dental, educational, and daycare were being met and that the boys are "well taken care of."
Lohan also reminded anyone listening that Kate's been involved in three assaults while he hasn't been involved in any, that Major has been in rehab three times while he's only been once, and that he's made over $240,000 while Kate hasn't brought home any money for the household.
Michael Lohan also stated that "proof of all this was provided to the court. What's wrong with this picture?"
Michael has been criticized for his parenting multiple times in the past as his most famous child, actress Lindsay Lohan, has had a very troubled and public life. Lindsay has been in and out of rehab and has made headlines various times for his party girl behavior and arrests. While Lindsay's mother, Michael's ex-wife Dina Lohan, has also taken heat and been branded a bad mom for her children's behavior and her own decisions, it seems that the entire Lohan family has been plagued with drama, and it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
As for Michael Lohan and Kate Major's two sons Landon and Logan, fans are hoping for all the best for the young boys, and if that means they stay with their grandmother, then so be it. However, if the court and Child Protective Services deem Michael and Kate fit to parenting their two children after further investigation, perhaps the couple may want to look into getting some sort of family counseling or help to keep things more calm and stable for their little boys.
What are your thoughts on Michael Lohan and Kate Major losing custody of their two sons?

Las letras de la canción incluyen "Voy a poner mi cuerpo primero / Y me amas tanto" hasta que duele" y "Voy a tocar el dolor de distancia / Sé gritar mi propio nombre"; El vídeo musical, lanzado una semana más tarde, cuenta con Steinfeld vistiendo un leotard blasonado con "autoservicio". Esto incitó a muchos fanáticos y medios de comunicación a doblar la canción una "oda a la masturbación". Steinfeld dijo que las letras están destinadas a ser interpretadas por el oyente, "pero para mí es un registro de empoderamiento y es en última instancia, sobre cuidar de sí mismo y complacerse, ya sea emocional o físicamente o con cosas materiales". Según Musicnotes.com, la canción está escrita en sol menor, y tiene un tempo de 120 latidos por minuto.

Vídeo musical
El vídeo musical, dirigido por Hannah Lux Davis, fue lanzado el 14 de agosto de 2015. El vídeo muestra a Steinfeld bailando en diferentes partes de la ciudad de Los Ángeles.

Rapid7 Acquires Kubernetes Security Provider Alcide for $50 Million
Rapid7, a provider of security analytics and automation, has acquired Alcide.IO Ltd., a provider of Kubernetes security based in Tel Aviv, Israel. This is the second acquisition Rapid7 has made in the cloud security market in the past 9 months, having acquired DivvyCloud, a provider of software for cloud security posture management (CSPM) this past April. Together, these acquisitions will enhance Rapid7's ability to provide a cloud-native security platform to its customers and facilitate continuous management of risk and compliance across their cloud environments.
Rapid7 acquired Alcide for a total purchase price of approximately $50 million, subject to certain adjustments.
According to Rapid7, organizations are taking advantage of the flexibility, speed, and agility that the cloud offers to accelerate innovation and deliver value to customers faster. With this, developers are increasingly turning to Kubernetes to quickly develop and deliver containerized applications. As part of this paradigm shift, developers have become central to implementing cloud security and it must be delivered in a frictionless way, where and when developers operate.
Rapid7 provides a security operations platform with a broad set of capabilities across SIEM-based incident detection and response, vulnerability management, application security and security orchestration, automation and response.
Alcide's technology is built to bridge security and DevOps with code-to-production security for Kubernetes deployments. The company's technology provides Kubernetes security integrated into the DevOps lifecycle and processes so that applications can be rapidly deployed while also protecting cloud environments from malicious attacks. Alcide's cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) provides visibility and governance, container runtime and network monitoring, as well as the ability to detect, audit and investigate known and unknown security threats.
With this acquisition, Rapid7 will expand and strengthen its cloud security offering, bringing together Alcide's cloud workload protection (CWPP) capabilities with the company's existing cloud security posture management (CSPM) and infrastructure entitlements (CIEM) capabilities, to provide customers with a more holistic, unified experience for managing the challenges of cloud-native application security.

Commentary Front Page Politics U.S.WND EXCLUSIVE
Yes, Obama really is suppressing military vote
Exclusive: David Kupelian exposes most despicable form of election fraud yet
By David Kupelian
We're all daily witnesses to Barack Obama's two-pronged, slash-and-burn re-election strategy:
1) Tell astonishingly bold lies about your opponent;
2) Bribe the heck out of all your constituencies in hopes of cobbling together a winning voting coalition in November.
Thus, voters daily hear that Mitt Romney is a felon, has neglected to pay taxes for 10 years and gives people cancer.
Simultaneously, Obama bribes every group he can, wooing female voters by ridiculously conjuring up a Republican "war on women," endearing himself to homosexuals by embracing same-sex marriage, making an audacious play for Hispanic votes with his surprise amnesty edict – an executive action he himself previously claimed would be illegal, alluring college students with promises of student-loan rate extensions, homeowners with mortgage aid programs, union member exemptions from Obamacare requirements, and on and on.
But to put himself over the top – to capture that last few percent of votes necessary to win a close election – Obama needs one more voting bloc on his side. That would be the shadow group comprised of non-citizens, illegal aliens, repeat-voters, multiple-state-voters, dead people, felons and others ineligible to vote but who will vote anyway – for Obama.
To help this last "constituency," Obama's administration is currently engaged in what can reasonably be called a massive nationwide campaign to enable voter fraud. The current issue of Whistleblower magazine, which I serve as editor, tells the whole insane story – but don't read it if you have a heart condition.
However, what I want to focus on here is without doubt the most despicable tactic the Obama camp has yet pursued in its efforts to stay in power through tampering with America's hallowed election system. I'm talking about something even more outrageous than the Holder "Justice Department" attempting to block states from enforcing Voter ID requirements or purging dead people from their voter rolls – and even more corrupt than the left's ACORN-style "swamping" of election officials with thousands of new (and often bogus) voter registrations at the very last minute and their national campaigns soliciting foreigners to vote.
As you may know, last month the Obama re-election campaign sued Ohio state officials in an attempt to suppress, in that pivotal swing state, the votes of America's military men and women – people who traditionally lean conservative and vote Republican. (CNN exit polling data from 2008 show voters favored Republican John McCain over Obama by a 10-point margin, 54 to 44 percent.)
Now, the Obama camp vehemently denies any and all suggestions it is suppressing the military vote, claiming it simply wants an even playing field for all.
Let's look at it: Current Ohio law – being challenged in the lawsuit brought by Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party against Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted and the state's Attorney General Mike DeWine – includes a special provision to allow military voters to cast their ballots during the last three days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) immediately prior to Election Day. However, according to the Obama lawsuit, Ohio's special concession to military voters – an acknowledgment of the difficulty soldiers deployed overseas often encounter in trying to get their vote in on time – is "arbitrary" and has "no discernible rational basis." Remember those words, for as we'll soon see they are the key to understanding this grand deception.
Because the Ohio situation is somewhat complex and involves several different bills and a bit of recent legislative history, I will only touch on the highlights, but will commend to you a good RedState blog posting if you're up for an in-depth, play-by-play review of the relevant Ohio voting laws.
However, beyond a few right-thinking bloggers, reporters and talk-show hosts, the vast, perpetually mesmerized pro-Obama media – and even the establishment's arbiters of All Truth On The Internet, Snopes, Politifact and FactCheck – side with Obama and characterize as "shameful" the comments made by the Romney campaign and the few analysts who see the Obama lawsuit for what it is – an attempt to restrict military voting.
Indeed, the elite press currently overflows with articles accusing those claiming the Ohio lawsuit is bad for the military of being both wrong and dishonest.
Is that why no fewer than 15 military organizations have joined together to fight this particular Obama-machine lawsuit in court? I'm talking about:
The National Guard Association of the United States
The Association of the U.S. Army
The Association of the U.S. Navy
The Marine Corps League
The Military Officers Association of America
The Reserve Officers Association
The National Association of the Uniformed Services
The Non Commissioned Officers Association of the U.S.A.
The Army Reserve Association
The Fleet Reserve Association
The Special Forces Association
The U.S. Army Ranger Association, Inc.
The National Defense Committee
The Military Order of the World Wars
Are America's armed forces wrong and dishonest? Do the Army, Navy and Marine organizations listed above not understand the issues of military voting as thoroughly as the experts at Snopes and Media Matters? Are the Special Forces and Army Ranger groups just plain dumb?
Or – is it just possible our military knows something about military voting that Obama and his sleazy lawyers don't know? Yes, "sleazy." The lead counsel on this case is none other than Robert Bauer, who author/analyst Matthew Vadum reminds us, "asked the Department of Justice to prosecute Obama critics and fine television stations for daring to carry an ad about Obama's close personal friendship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Bauer, Obama's former White House Counsel, is married to Anita Dunn, the Mao-loving former director of communications in the Obama White House. Bauer has been instrumental in whitewashing Obama's radical roots by filing lawsuits keeping a bewildering array of the president's personal papers hidden away."
Should Team Obama prevail in the Ohio lawsuit, there are several possible outcomes: The judge could overrule Ohio's Legislature and governor and resolve the issue by eliminating the three extra voting days for everyone, including military voters – something even the plaintiffs concede could be the result. That would hurt our soldiers. Or the judge could overrule the Ohio government, but impose the opposite remedy, forcing all voting precincts in the state to stay open all three days prior to Election Day for all voters in the state, not just military voters. That would also hurt our soldiers.
What?, you may ask. How could everybody, including the military, having three more days to vote hurt our soldiers? Indeed, "what's the matter with everybody having three extra days to vote?" is the current establishment refrain, its purveyors claiming incorrectly that all Ohio voters used to have those same three days for early voting. They didn't: Although state law allowed it, local election authorities could decide if they wanted to implement early voting or not. Only "six counties had weekend voting and extended hours and 82 of them didn't," lead defendant and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted told the Associated Press.
And why was that? Husted explained, in a Bloomberg Businessweek interview, that setting limits on early voting for most Ohioans – other than the relatively few in the armed forces – is necessary so Ohio's election boards can synchronize the early balloting records with those at 9,800 polling places to prevent voter fraud, i.e., people voting more than once. And as Ohio's state GOP chairman, Bob Bennett, said in a written statement: "Nobody is being disenfranchised here, as Ohio's voters who choose to vote early can do so by mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week or at early voting polls."
The REAL issue at stake here, the one virtually no one is talking about, and the reason it hurts the military if the judge forces Ohio to open all its polling places for all voters for the final three days, is the legal precedent that will be set – namely, that our soldiers cannot constitutionally be given a break, a few extra days, to get their votes in.
Friends, you can't obtain "reasonable results" through abominable means and then call it good. (That would be like me robbing a bank and then going home and saying, "Dear, I made a lot of money today.") The price America will pay to obtain in Ohio a totally unnecessary "three extra days for everybody to vote" (if the judge rules the way Obama for America is asking it to rule) is the creation of a new legal precedent that it is unconstitutional to give any special consideration to military voters. After all, that is precisely the plaintiffs' legal argument.
But as the Ohio defendants' legal response points out so eloquently, America has always made special concessions for its soldiers to assure their opportunity to vote, going back to the Revolutionary War.
"Unfortunately," argue lawyers for the Ohio defendants, "throughout history military personnel have been prevented from … [exercising their right to the franchise] due to both procedural and logistic hurdles, resulting in their franchise being effectively 'hollow.'" They explain:
The problem of how to allow those serving in the United States Military to cast a ballot has been with us since the time of our nation's war for independence.
Dating as far back as the Civil War, President Lincoln issued an executive order declaring a cessation of military operations in order to allow military personnel to travel home so that they could cast their ballots.
In order to make sure that those serving in the Civil War had access to the franchise, many states authorized elections officials to travel to units in the field to set up polling locations and to collect ballots from soldiers.
Military voters – the shocking truth
Putting aside arguments pro and con, is there or is there not a serious problem in today's America with active-duty members of the armed forces having enough time to vote?
Here's a one-question quiz: During the 2010 election, what percentage of America's military and overseas voters do you think were able to cast a vote that actually counted in the election results?
If you guessed "5 percent," you're too high.
"Tens of thousands of service members' votes not counted" was the headline of a June 27, 2012, McClatchy newspaper article detailing just how seriously flawed the current system is for enabling the millions of men and woman in the U.S. military to vote.
The story includes the following shocking statistics:
In 2010, of the approximately 2 million military and overseas voters accounted for in data reported by the states to the Election Assistance Commission, only 4.6 percent of those voters were able to cast an absentee ballot that counted, according to the Military Voter Protection Project's analysis of that data from the federal Election Assistance Commission, which tracks participation in voting. That compared with 5.5 percent in 2006, which was also a midterm election, the organization concluded.
The overall national voter participation rate for the 2010 election was 41.6 percent, authorities said.
According to that report, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted – yes, the same Jon Husted being sued by Obama for America – was so disgusted he told county election boards "it would be considered grounds for removal of board members if their agencies should fail to electronically send out absentee ballots 45 days prior to an election" to all military voters who requested one.
Maybe Team Obama didn't like Ohio's zeal to make sure our brave soldiers get to vote along with all the illegal aliens, dead people and others the left is so eager to have vote "early and often" this November.
It's the same thing every election
This problem is not new. Ever since the Bush-Gore Florida recount in 2000, every election cycle has brought with it controversy over the counting of overseas military votes – which traditionally lean Republican.
Two weeks after Election Day 2000, Mark Herron, a Democrat lawyer in Florida, circulated a memo to members of his party throughout the state instructing them on how to disqualify overseas military ballots. The entire five-page memo, obtained and published by the Drudge Report, included tips on how to lodge protests against military ballots which were thought to heavily favor Republican George W. Bush.
Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded the Coalition Forces in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, led widespread condemnation of the Democrat memo, saying: "It is a very sad day in our country when the men and women of the armed forces are serving abroad and facing danger of a daily basis … and are denied the right to vote for the president of the United States who will be their commander in chief."
Thousands of overseas military members registered to vote in Florida complained that they either never received requested absentee ballots, the ballots arrived too late or their votes were rejected. In an election won by Bush by just 537 votes, Florida officials had disqualified 1,527 military votes for lack of a postmark.
In 2004, the same sorts of complaints arose. And in 2008, legal complaints, news stories and studies showed dozens of states failing to allow soldiers enough time to vote.
Then in 2010, ex-DOJ attorney M. Eric Eversole spoke out against the Obama Justice Department for its failure to safeguard the military vote.
Although Congress had passed in 2009 a law mandating that military personnel overseas be given sufficient time to participate in U.S. elections, the DOJ's Voting Section was ignoring the new laws, potentially allowing thousands of uncounted ballots to fall through the cracks, said Eversole, a former litigation attorney for the DOJ Voting Section.
And according to a 2009 Pew Center report, more than one-third of states did not provide military voters stationed abroad enough time to vote or were at high risk of not providing enough time. The study found six states provided time to vote only if their military personnel overseas return completed absentee ballots by fax or email – a practice with privacy and security vulnerabilities.
Although current law requires that absentee ballots be shipped to military voters overseas a minimum of 45 days prior to Election Day, Eversole said in a Washington Times column that tens of thousands of soldiers received their ballots too late to ensure their votes could be counted in 2010. After the 2010 midterm elections, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission released data showing less than half of the 119,000 overseas military votes cast were counted.
Leftists are masters of projection; they reflexively accuse others of the evil they themselves commit. So when Occupy protesters display widespread anti-Semitism, rape women and defecate on police cars, the leftist media ignore it and accuse tea partiers of similar misbehavior, utterly without evidence.
In the same way, while leftist-engineered vote fraud is a genuine problem in today's America, the left denies it and instead projects its guilt onto Republicans with indignant cries of "voter suppression" in response to the most mild and reasonable attempts on the part of state officials to identify who people are before they vote.
Yet there is one form of voter suppression that is real and vexing. It is being perpetrated by the left. And its target is the one group that deserves, more than you or me or anyone else in America, to be able to vote for our next commander in chief. And that's our fighting men and women.

REVEALED: Where in Sheffield are the most people in work?
The latest jobless figures for Sheffield should 'shame' the Government, says an MP, despite ministers claiming national employment rates are at a record high.
There are nearly 9,400 claimants in Sheffield who are required to seek work, new data from the Office for National Statistics shows - a rate of 2.5 per cent, which has not changed in the last year and is above the UK average of 2.1 per cent.
The claimant count has risen during the past year in the constituencies of Sheffield Heeley, Sheffield Central, and Sheffield South East, though it has fallen in Hallam, Brightside & Hillsborough, and Penistone & Stocksbridge.
In Sheffield Heeley, the claimant count rose by two per cent to just over 2,000 people, more than one in five of whom are aged 24 or under.
Louise Haigh, MP for the constituency, said: "The rise in unemployment should be a source of shame for the Government.
"We're seeing the consequences of eight years of their running down of our country, with hundreds of young people in the area I represent not being able to work, earn and build a life for themselves."
Nationally, the claimant count - which is often used as an indicator for unemployment - rose by nine per cent to over 870,000.
However, the UK's official unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent is the lowest it has been since 1975, with 127,000 fewer people out of work than a year ago, according to the Government.
The employment rate, meanwhile, stands at a joint record high of 75.3 per cent.
Work and pensions secretary Esther McVey said: "Getting a job means securing an income for a family and the chance to build a better future. That's why up and down the country we are doing all we can to help people into work."
She added that from next month, increases in the National Living Wage and the tax-free allowance would benefit the country's lowest earners.
Unemployment figures measure the number of people without a job who have been actively seeking work and are available to start work within the next fortnight, while the claimant count is the number of people receiving benefits principally for the reason of being unemployed.
The latest unemployment figures for Sheffield, published in January, showed 17,000 people aged 16 or over were out of work - a rate of exactly six per cent.
Ms Heeley said the claimant count for Sheffield is expected to rise with the full rollout of Universal Credit, scheduled for November this year.

ISRO launches record 20 satellites in a mission
In Science and Technology
India has successfully launched 20 satellites in a single mission, the most in the history of the country's ambitious space programme. They include satellites belonging to the United States, Canada, Germany and Indonesia. The launch took place from the Sriharikota space centre off India's east coast. It is a sign that India is emerging as a major player in the multi-billion dollar space market.
The launch of PSLV C-34/Cartosat-2 Series Satellite Mission took place at 9:26 am (June 22′ 2016). Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C34 is being used to carry the satellites, including India's earth observation spacecraft Cartosat-2, from the second launch pad of the space centre.
The record for the most number of satellites launched in a single mission belongs to Russia, which sent up 37 satellites in 2014. The US space agency Nasa launched 29.
The payload included devices ranging in weight from more than 700 kg to as little as 1.5 kg. They include an Indian cartographic satellite as well as those belonging to the country's universities and international customers – 13 satellites are from the US, including one made by a Google-owned company.
Launching several satellites in a single mission reduces cost and India has been positioning itself as a key player in the lucrative international commercial space market as an effective but low cost operator.


If variety is the spice of life, then that explains why food from Fairwood Drive-Inn & Hi-Yip Cuisine is chock-full of vitality and flavor. Ever the picture of versatility, the Kaimuki eatery — previously known as Fairwood Drive Inn & Ramen Diner — has been attracting customers with its chameleon-like cuisine for years.
And throughout this time, owner Tiffany Ho has honed in on delicious niche markets, mastering the art of edible adaptation. Originally, the eatery's menu offerings were focused on the pho phenomenon taking the tastes and hearts of Oahu residents by storm. Following pho came ramen — which was met with rave reviews and lines out the door.
And although Ho could have sat back and basked in her restaurant's success, the owner and entrepreneurial heart had more in mind for her patrons' palates. So for those who aren't fans with tastes for just one direction (and no, I don't mean the band!), Ho is now charging ahead in 2015, by also catering to the Cantonese-loving crowd, as "Hi Yip" is literally translated in Chinese as "Cantonese Seafood." And see food we do — aplenty.
The eatery's unique layout (basically two restaurants in one) offers patrons the best of both worlds, with their old favorites on the Fairwood side and new finds from Hi-Yip on the other.
What Veg'n Out found are two dishes worth doting on. From Fairwood, Mixed Vegetables with Garlic Sauce ($8.50), a just-right-spiced stir-fry selection of broccoli, zucchini, onion, celery, choy sum and carrot, will warm you heart and soul. Served with a generous side of rice or noodles, it's more than ample to appease any appetite.
Hi-Yip satisfies the hungry with its Tofu with Sweet and Sour Cabbage ($9.50), savory slabs of grilled tofu served over a bed of marinated cabbage just bursting with flavor. Usually kissed with a coating of oyster sauce, those vegetarians averse to this adage simply need to let the server know when ordering, and a melt-in-your-mouth mushroom shoyu sauce will be substituted.

Easter colored eggs and the game of "Tozza tozza"
Children and youngsters, at the first warmth of "summer", removed shoes and caluosci (wood and leather clogs), and the most fortunate, shoes, walking barefoot on the lava stone slabs already warm. In the short shorts pockets, there were two things, essentialat that time...One was the ubiquitous strummolo (the Spin with string) and the other was the tiramolla (the sling).The latter served to undermine the lizards and, with very little success, small migratory birds skipping plant to plant. Before Palm Sunday instead, in all homes, grandmothers and mothers prepared the eggs dyed red, boiling them with natural dyes, roots or other.The "red eggs" were instant prey to us children and teenagers, boys and girls.Happy, with our egg in hand, we played, for hours, in spaces that smelled of spring and freedom.We played tozza tozza.«When Buonocore ladies put us in a circle to teach the gospel now, the catechism or more dull (only for girls) "good manners" behavior, there was always joker who intervened», recalls my friend Odette Del Dotto.«Signuri, to me, told me Barbone, that the fact of the red eggs, is not a thing of Jesus, but belongs to the pagan history.
Easter, Passage and the Spring Egg
Easter was also a little known deities belonging to the worship of the ancient Saxons. Scandinavian goddess of spring was the symbol of the resurrection of all nature and was worshiped at the beginning of this season. Just the Norwegians, the "pagans", at that time, had as a habit, among other things, the exchange of colored eggs called "Ostara eggs" that now have become the "Easter eggs". It is likely that from this devotion derives the word in English.
Holy Week as popular tradition of the islands of Ischia and Procida
Holy week is rich in emotional moments to evoke the human passion of Jesus. The rites accompany the catholic liturgy and contribute to pass on and affirm even more the Christianity. Songs, performances, scenic representations that help the visitor to know the island tradition.
The Angel's run in Forio on the Island of Ischia
In Forio, the largest of the six municipalities of the island of Ischia, along the main street of the village, in the late morning of Easter Day, occurrs the passion play called the "Angel Run", organized by the ancient Confraternity of Santa Maria Visitapoveri with office in the homonym church in Piazza Municipio.
Actus Tragicus in Forio of Ischia
Original sacred drama dedicated to the passion and death of Jesus, the representation was designed and built by St. Francis of Assisi back in 1111 and staged in the streets of Forio from 1982 through the initiative of a group of young volunteers. The participants wear costumes designed and made by a wonderfully well-known local craftsman, in procession through the streets of the country, starting from Municipio square, and to Piazza Colombo where the representation began, the event concludes with crucifixion of Jesus and the thieves at the Soccorso church square.
The 'Ndrezzata' of Buonopane on Easter Monday
Is not linked to the Christ' resurrection but is symbol of a moment of peace and the end of hostility among people of Barano and Buonopane. In the 16th century, a fisherman from Barano is said to have given her girlfriend a coral necklace, but the same necklace was founded in the hands of a young guy from Buonopane.
Easter emotions in Forio
Easter in Forio is a collection of faith, culture, history and tradition blend to create atmospheres and inimitable emotions.
Back in 1982, a group of young volunteers of the association Actus Tragicus every year on Fridays before Easter of Resurrection, starting at approximately at 20.00, puts up the Passion of Christ. Original sacred drama over a trail of about 1 km, dedicated to the last 12 hours of Jesus life.
The Mysteries of Procida
The Dead Christ parading in the procession of Good Friday is the very soul of Procida, the quintessential of the man's personal and intimate pain. These abandoned and bleeding limbs are venerated by many people. There is no superstition, just a great faith that drives anyone to the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas (via Marcello Scotti ), where the headquarters of the Congregation of Turchini and is exposed throughout the year, to feel the need instinctive to accept his hand, especially now that the reliquary of plexiglas that protects it, is to be replaced.
The most important event of the Christianity, Easter, represents a time of sorrow that becomes time of joy afterwards. An important moment of cathartic re-birth through the sufferings of the God's Son, in which the man's sufferings live again. Christ dies and resurrects. And with Him, the Nature. Easter, in fact, has not the same date every year – the first Sunday after the first full moon and the vernal equinox – because it's the same date of the beginning of the fine weather and boasts ancient venerations linked to the passage of Winter and to the 'sunrise'.
