    """
        An instance of EM Bayesian hierarchical clustering CRP
        mixture model, where there is noise on the observations.

        EMBHC works by clustering the data into a small number
        of clusters using hard-EM and then performs BHC on the
        clusters

        Attributes
        ----------
        EM_clusters : hard_EM_GMM

        self.cluster_bhc : noisy_bhc
            The aglomorative BHC clustering of the (preclustered)
            data

        Parameters
        ----------
        data : numpy.ndarray (n, d)
            Array of data where each row is a data point and each
            column is a dimension.
        data_uncerts: numpy.ndarray (n, d, d)
            Array of uncertainties on the data, such that the first
            axis is a data point and the second two axes are for the
            covariance matrix.
        data_model : CollapsibleDistribution
            Provides the approprite ``log_marginal_likelihood``
            function for the data.
        crp_alpha : float (0, Inf), optional
            CRP concentration parameter.
        Nclusters : int, optional
            The number of pre-clusters formed
        precluster_method : str, optional
            Method by which the preclustering is performed, options
            are 'hardEM' or 'kmeans'
        verbose : bool, optional
            If true various bits of information, possibly with
            diagnostic uses, will be printed.
        plot_preclusters : bool, optional
            If True make a plot showing the preclustering of the
            data

        Notes
        -----
        The cost of rBHC scales as O(n) and so should be preferred
        for very large data sets.

A 32 year old man was reported missing after leaving a party in an isolated hostel in a drunken state at approximately 1 am. His friends were unable to locate him. Given the local beck was in spate, and there were a large number of mine workings in the vicinity, an immediate search for a high risk misper was mounted.
Search dogs were asked to cover the areas between the beck and the road, whilst Team members and Swiftwater rescue technicians checked the river. Search Dog Corrie found and indicated on the misper's car keys, before finding him in an old mill wheel housing behind the hostel, having fallen 50ft. He was extricated by the Team with considerable difficulty, and flown to hospital in Middlesbrough with possible spinal injuries.

Donald Trump drowns on TIME Magazine cover; Kofi Annan to receive state burial in Ghana | See the hottest topics on the internet today
Trump 'drowns' on TIME Magazine cover
Days ago, US President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen confessed to violating campaign finance laws by making certain covert payments for the purpose of influencing an election. Cohen added that he did so "in coordination with and at the direction of a candidate".
In light of all his recent controversies, TIME Magazine has dedicated another cover to Trump and this time he's struggling to stay afloat in a flooded Oval Office.
TIME collaborator, Tim O'Brien who is responsible for illustrating the cover said, "…as the never-ending flood of breaking news washed over the White House, and the firings, the scandals and the general mayhem-filled each news cycle, I felt the storm metaphor was as relevant as ever".
Kofi Annan to receive state burial in Ghana
Former United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan will be buried in a state ceremony in his home country, Ghana on September 13.
The former Nobel Peace laureate will be buried in Accra's new military cemetery, according to Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The president said of Annan, "He was one of the most illustrious people of this generation. He was like an elder brother. It's going to be a major event for our country… I expect many leaders to be present"
Annan passed at the age of 80 last Saturday in Switzerland.
This Twitter user did not kneel for her husband at her engagement ceremony and Twitter is on fire:
Speaking of submission, during my Yoruba engagement, my husband and I told the Alagas to not use that word or ask me to kneel for him. Everyone told me it wouldn't be possible because, culture. But guess whose knees didn't touch the ground? pic.twitter.com/JzzwRkhlgB

Guess your hubby has to get a womb also so you don't end up carrying all kids 9months each time! Plus, your kids should probably call you by NAME and wave at you early in the morning, rather than showing visible sign of respect.

Workflow and multiple users are the cause of much misery for those trying to keep files up to date in the cloud, but ShareFile offers a way for SMBs to handle this tricky juggling act.
Not all cloud-based file sharing services are created equal, and making a noise about its Enterprise 2.0 business-friendliness is ShareFile, with its latest product, Sync. Aimed at business users, it offers continuous synchronization for files and folders. It offers both one- and two-way syncing to ensure data validity and is part of the SyncFile's growing platform.
In addition to its ability to sync to mobiles and tablets, ShareFile also lets user's work with their existing folder structure, rather then demanding everything goes into one drop folder. The two-way functionality works via an Adobe Air 2.0 app, while Sync itself is part of ShareFile's Power Tools suite that comes with desktop and mobile apps, Outlook plug-ins and other goodies.
As part of the drive to cloud-based business, remote working and virtual desktops, ShareFile ups its game to give it an edge on the likes of Box.net with this flexibility in keeping files up to date. However, it can't be too long before other players begin to catch up or even overtake.
ShareFile offers four types of account ranging from US$ 29.95 to US$ 500 with various levels of storage, access and features, with free trials available. For large file movement, remote collaboration and off-site storage, it's an impressive option.
Beyond Sync, companies using ShareFile can use their own branding and admins can monitor audit trails and access logs. Everything works under 128-bit SSL and multiple data centers. With five years in the field, the company has a good track record -- including ShareFile's CEO, Jesse Lipson, making CPA Technology's "40 CEOs under 40" to watch list, last year.

Interview with Martin Ryle on 8 June 1981
Martin Ryle, 1918-1984. Interviewed 8 June 1981 at Cambridge, length of interview: 20 minutes. Part of the original interview, approximately 90 minutes in the middle, was accidentally erased in 1985 by U. Washington Audio-visual Department. No notes or transcription had been made.
Many follow-ups to August 1976 interview about WWII influence, early solar and radio star work, details of Grange Rd. site, 1C to 3C aerials and surveys, log N-log S controversy, nature of radio sources, etc.
The interview listed below was conducted as part of Sullivan's research for his book, Cosmic Noise: A History of Early Radio Astronomy (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and was transcribed for the NRAO Archives by Sierra E. Smith in 2015. The transcript was reviewed and edited/corrected by Ellen N. Bouton in 2016. Any notes of correction or clarification added in the 2016 reviewing/editing process have been included in brackets; places where we are uncertain about what was said are indicated with parentheses and a question mark, plus a notation of the time on the audio e.g. (? 00:50) or (possible text? 10:32). If researchers are able to suggest correct text, please contact the Archivist. Sullivan's notes about each interview are available on Sullivan's interviewee Web page. During processing, full names of institutions and people were added in brackets when they first appear. We are grateful for the 2011 Herbert C. Pollock Award from Dudley Observatory which funded digitization of Sullivan's original cassette tapes.
This interview was intended by Sullivan to be a follow-up and expansion of the 130 minute 1976 interview. However, part of the original interview, approximately 90 minutes in the middle (the entire audio cassette tape 143), was accidentally erased in 1985 by U. Washington Audio-visual Department. No notes or transcription had been made. This transcript, therefore, is of brief audio from the end of Sullivan's tape 142B and a slightly longer final section of the interview from tape 144A.
So this is continuing from 5 years ago, with Sir Martin Ryle on 8 June 1981 and mainly just a whole series of follow up questions from that interview. [see Ryle 1976 for that interview transcript and audio]
2 days and 36 years since D-Day.
That's right. You might be happy, or maybe not, that I did note D-Day a couple of days ago. I was born 11 days after D-Day, I might mention. So it's easy for me to remember when it happened. But in your talk that you gave here to the radio astronomy lunch a couple of months ago you mentioned that you went on an exercise after the War of some kind. I was wondering if you would tell me a little more about that, where you went over to the continent.
Yes, well, twelve of us went over as observers while the entire North German defense system was kept in action right up from the radar stations through to the group command.
With Germans manning it or...?
Yeah, sure, right up to the German Air Marshalls. The idea was to observe what happened when a bomber command did a series of typical raids using the full works of the devices we'd invented to stop them working. And it was spooky, because to find yourself in a control room in the first instance full of these bloody swastikas, it was strange. And even more so to sit around in Denmark where there were 350 Luftwaffe men associated with this very extensive radar station where me and my three people spent most of the operations, just actually observing how the guys reacted, just the effectiveness of various different devices. It was done in daytime to avoid accidents on landing and things. But the only thing that didn't happen, of course, we didn't let fighters fight so we couldn't test all the system.
Did you get any ideas about picking up equipment for later research while you were there?
Well, yes, I knew most of it anyway.
So this was really that relevant for the radio astronomy to follow?
It was to a certain extent because it showed which devices would immediately be useful. And it did certainly influence the selection of bits and pieces, which we picked up at the end of the War.
You mean which German devices?
Oh, yes, I'm talking about German devices.
Ok, let me follow on then, saying that once again in your talk you said that the German equipment was easier to get than the British equipment because it didn't have the numbers on it and they couldn't follow it in inventory and so forth. Was that tongue in cheek or was there really some truth in that?
Well, I think the point was that any British equipment you had to get approval from somebody that it wasn't wanted any more. Where the German equipment mostly had been looked at and examined and everything measured about it, and it obviously wasn't any use to anybody, and much of it was indeed sold to scrap merchants and people like that. But it is true that there was no sort of stores procedure for coping with it. And so it was much easier to get a hold of. There was virtually nobody but me at Cambridge University that knew what all these stuff was and so we got the thick of it. Well, I never knew what the code numbers meant.
Well, along that line you told the anecdote in your talk which you also told me five years ago about going down to near (? 04:14) and picking up all this equipment and the story with the scrape merchant and so forth. But you said you came back with five truck loads, I believe, of equipment.
Can you just give me an idea of what in all this?
Well there was one (? 04:30) 27 foot diameter...
Which wasn't mounted for several years I guess?
It wasn't mounted properly as an alt-azimuth machine. It was used, I think I saw a photograph right just now, as an (? 04:47) interferometer. That was mounted fairly early on but it was not finally mounted till we moved to Lord's Bridge as a fully steerable machine. But we also got a large amount of, well two small (? 05:06) that were captured at (Boulevard? 05:09), which was the one used by [Harold M.] Stanier in his early measurement at 6 centimeters.
Now what was the diameter of those small ones?
9 foot.
9 foot. I see.
Well, we talked in feet in those days.
So about 3 meters, ok.
They were very mobile. They were on wheels, quickly towed behind a truck so they were nice to push around.
And they had their mounting right with them I supposed?
Oh yes, they were fully mounted. They were, in fact, operated by two operators in azimuth and elevation, or three, I think, a range one who kept the thing on target and (? 05:52) mount some drives to a display. They were used for various things (? 06:00) them. Range measuring. With an antiaircraft gun you can measure the angular position very accurately optically, which you catch in the searchlight beam, but the range is always pretty inaccurate. Well that's the trouble with anti-aircraft, anyway, only important in the first bit of the War.
What else did you bring back?
Well, then there was the whole load of this very low loss air core capture cable...
About one inch diameter?
No, it was more than that.
Two inches?
It was one inch and a half I'd say. Well an inch and a half on the outside. It had some shield on it. And these were part of, well, two German systems which used phased arrays. And therefore they had to have a whole collection of cables of precisely the same length. And they were indeed accurate to a centimeter or so. And these are very valuable because there was no....

On 8 June 1981. For the actual meeting at Jodrell Bank in 1955, do you remember any important results from that or any impressions that you have?
Well, of course, these early meetings are important because you met up with other radio astronomers. And at that time, I'm afraid, I must say there weren't very many American ones.
But you met up with the Dutch and the French, who were the most energetic. And that was also true, of course, of the Paris meeting. [2016 note: Paris Symposium on Radio Astronomy, IAU Symp. 9 and URSI Symp. 1, 30 July to 6 August, 1958] You saw the Meudon approach to a large instrument, which was interesting. Well, I knew [Hendrik C.] van de Hulst anyway but, you know, you met all these people. That was the main importance to me of it. You met the guys that you'd often corresponded with, and you saw the way they worked. And that was important too. Astronomically, I can't really recall anything very special. I think the Jodrell meeting [2016 note: Radio Astronomy, IAU Symp. 4, Jodrell Bank, August 1955], maybe the Paris one too, may have been somewhat confused.
Meetings were somewhat confused?
Confused, with really unnecessary controversies about LogN-LogS and things, which, you know, it took up too much of everybody's' effort. I mean it was important clearly, but I felt there was a certain amount of trying to prove the other guy was wrong, which was sad because, in fact.... Well, some people are always more difficult than other people are and you can cooperate with some people much easier than others. And I felt, well, never mind....
Well, what you are saying is that people began to lose sight of really finding out what the universe was doing and just backing their own results.
Well, science is a human activity to say the least.
Yes, but I think the important parts of all these conferences was when you got so and so into a corner over coffee and talked to him - that's what mattered. And that's what happened the first time at the Rome meeting [2016 note: IAU General Assembly, Rome, September 1952] with [Walter] Baade and [Rudolph] Minkowski. The rest of it I have no recollection useful at all.
You went to meetings and people got up and said, "I just happened to have 23 slides in my pocket which I thought I'd show you." And that were absolutely irrelevant and you felt a bloody waste of time. But the meeting with individuals and talking about something that you both directly, vitally concerned with, those were important and I think that remains true today.
Well, in fact, I'd be very interested to know. Did you sit down with [Bernard Y.] Mills in the corner and try to hash this through?
But apparently you weren't able to get anywhere or were you?
Well, we got as far as saying that we obviously got to do something more about this. It's got to be solved. And we both went back and, well ultimately it was solved. But it was the personal meetings which I recall as being the things that mattered.
Do you remember other people who particularly impressed you with what you were learning from them at these personal contacts?
Well, van de Hulst was the outstanding Dutchman. There was that desert, Foreign Legion chap, stayed in the desert too long - what was his name?
Denisse?
Denisse, yes. Jean-Francois. He was a great guy. So also was -
[Jean-Louis] Steinberg.
Steinberg who had spent the War in Auschwitz or something and got away with it. He married an English wife. They were very kind to us. But they were the two leading lights at that stage and, you know, they were nice, calm, easy chaps to get on with.
Did you feel the French contribution to solar radio astronomy in the 10 years after the War really ever amounted to anything?
I don't quite know what went wrong or didn't go quite right with the French, because basically they started off very well. I think possibly that they were too closely tied on to Meudon Observatory, which was basically an optical observatory. They had this mad Piccard....
Laffineur?
No, Laffineur was alright. I think he was perhaps not all that brilliant, but he had good ideas and he did a lot of optical work. They had this mad Piccard, son of [Auguste]Piccard, who did high altitude balloon work - the most dicey thing I've ever seen. Terrifying. 58 (? 05:32) balloons on a string. So it didn't matter if a few burst.
Was this radio astronomy?
No, he was mainly concerned with (? 05:42), whatever they are called, which you had to get above 120,000 feet or something. It was a little aluminum sphere which he built himself. He was a long, thin chap and he could just curl around like that and get inside it. And the lid wasn't fixed on. You just held it up while the thing took off, and after a minute because the air pressure held it there. And as you came down, it fell off and bonked you on the head to remind you to get ready for landing. He was a mad guy but he survived several flights with that thing.
So why were you saying that the French didn't seem to - ?
Well, I think they probably didn't give enough cash to radio astronomy to make it viable early enough. And they did built this big parabolic wall eventually, which was a new and interesting concept for building big instruments.
That was '56 or so when they got to that.
Yes, about then.
Ok, the final thing that I wanted to ask you about was, we did discuss at length how the ideas of synthesis developed last time, but I'm still a little unclear in my mind about how difficult it was to measure phase in the late '40s, early '50s. In other words, if you had...
It's entirely how far you were going.
Ok. But if you'd had the computer at some early date, then when could you have done aperture synthesis with what baseline at what frequency? Can you give me some idea of that?
Well, John Blythe was the first. When was that when he did it?
Well, that was '56 or so.
No, it wasn't.
It was published in '57, I'm quite sure. Maybe I should rephrase the question. Can you give me an idea for specific examples how well you could measure phase at a certain frequently with a certain baseline in the late '40s, let's say, and then in the early '50s?
Well it was no different.
It was not different. What were the limiting factors?
Well, it was noise, attenuation of the cable, just that the reflected wave coming back got so weak that we couldn't measure the minimum accurately. If you had two cables, it was different. You could do round trip things and (? 08:15) arrangements. But we didn't have enough cable. But, I mean, there is no problem in the John Blythe experiment. That could have been done in 1946. That, in fact, was the apparatus we used, which was a brass standing wave detector standing about 8 feet long, because it was a long wavelength, with a rather nice size actually. He was proud of it. But it was, in fact, based on a German one I'd pinched for shortwave work (? 08:50) the method of locating the probe accurately along it as it moved along.
What exactly was it now?
It was a standing wave detector.
A standing wave detector, right.
Which you have a thing 8 feet long and you've got to align the probes so that it stays accurate to about 1/50th mm all the way. You had to do something rather special.
So that's interesting. So if the concept had been there, you say that you could have done the Blythe moving T experiment right at the end of the War technically?
Well apart from the computing.
Yes, right. And you could have done the computing if you'd been willing to spend a hell of a lot of time with a lot of people with pencil and paper presumably.
Well, you've got (? 09:41) strips, which is the quickest way of doing it.
So is it correct to say, then, that the ability to measure phase was not any kind of a limitation on doing aperture synthesis?
No, well, phase measurement was an established fact of life which one had done during the War. One had to do this.
It only became a problem when you started going to the higher frequencies.
It was just a function of the attenuation of the cable, so it was the relationship between frequency and distance.
And even with these good quality German cables you had, this became a problem... well what was the actual attenuation? Can you give me a rough idea of how much at a given frequency?
No. Look up the best cable of that sort of size which somebody makes. It will be about the same as that.
Today you mean?
Yes. It was as good as any cable that has ever been made. It was 98% velocity of propagation. It was very little. (? 10:55). It was a very nice design.
Really then, it was just a matter of when you had the computing power, and the idea, of course, available, that you could then do the moving T, and you could do the experiment with Ann Nevill in two dimensions.
At the North Pole.
Right and so forth. It was really that that was the limiting factor. Is that a fair statement?
Well, there was of course mechanics and money involved in moving, say, a couple of large Würzbergs along a railway track. You've got to make a railway track and that costs money. And unless you are going to survey each position as you go, it's got to be a good (? 11:39), it's got to be steady anyway, even if it's not straight. So I mean it was an expensive game, but that could well have been our next instrument instead of the 4C aerial. As indeed it was discussed, rather than the 4C aerial, if the computing had been there. But the computing in the general case was very much worse that the computing in the North Pole case, which itself was very much worse than the one dimensional 4C synthesis.
Ok, well thank you very much again. And that ends the follow up interview with Martin Ryle in Cambridge in his office in the Cavendish Lab on 8 June 1981.

Are Government plans for health and safety relating to self-employed workers counterproductive?
The world's largest professional body in occupational safety and health, The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), has stated that an amended Government plan to deregulate areas of health and safety remains unnecessary, unhelpful and unwise.
Clause 1 of the Government's Deregulation Bill will amend the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to exempt certain self-employed from general health and safety duties.
IOSH stated that the clause could lead to confusion, lower standards and increase the risk of injury and illness at work.
Peers have previously voted in favour of keeping Clause 1 as part of the Deregulation Bill, but in response to criticisms received, the Government tabled a proposed amendment to it during the Bill's Third Reading in the House of Lords last week.
It was revealed that the amended clause was agreed by peers and means that the regulations may now also seek to ensure that all those posing a risk to others are not exempted, along with those working in high hazard or high risk activities, such as construction or agriculture.
Government spokesman, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, sought to provide further assurance, highlighting a provision for further scrutiny and challenge before any regulations are brought in, and that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will produce guidance targeted at self-employed persons and others to help avoid confusion.
"We are relieved the Government has recognised that relying solely on its 'prescribed list' approach is dangerous and unworkable and has now put on record its intention to ensure that all those who may pose a risk to others are not exempted.


(Sun Times Wire) He doesn't have a household name like Larry Hoover, Jeff Fort or other infamous leaders of Chicago gangs.
Law-enforcement sources said Loggins was trying to consolidate power over the Black Disciples in the Englewood, Gresham and Grand Crossing police districts on the South Side. He wanted to return a corporate governance structure to the street gang.
From the 1970s through the mid-2000s, the gang's leaders had issued orders to lower-level members through a rigid hierarchy. Gang experts have estimated that 15,000 people were members of the Black Disciples during that period. Low-level members who ignored orders were beaten or killed and were required to pay a "street tax" from the proceeds of their drug deals and other crimes.
On Wednesday, Loggins called junior members of the gang into a meeting and "chewed them out," a source said. Some police officials believe he was assassinated as a result of that meeting.
The struggle for control over the Black Disciples has been bloody over the past year with other members of the gang's "old guard" also being killed, sources said.
Loggins' 29-year-old son, Lawrence "Lil' Law" Lee, is a leader of the Lamron faction of the Black Disciples, according to the police. He's serving a 15-year prison term for attempted murder.
Freeman went to prison in 1990 on a drug conviction and Marvel Thompson became the de facto leader of the Black Disciples on the streets until the FBI arrested him in a sweeping drug conspiracy case in 2004.
The feds said Thompson ran a politically connected, hierarchical and sophisticated operation. His drug workers would tune in to a Christian radio frequency that Thompson pirated, according to the FBI. He used the radio frequency to warn his workers about police activity. Thompson raked in millions of dollars through mortgage-fraud schemes, as well as drug dealing, according to the feds.
Under Thompson, the gang had connections in the business and political worlds. One of his top lieutenants, Donnell Jehan, even dated a Chicago alderman, Arenda Troutman, who later went to prison for corruption.
That same year, Freeman got out of prison. He claimed he no longer was involved in the gang, though the police didn't believe it. Freeman died of natural causes in 2012.


Odagiri Joe made a movie speaking Spanish. WOAH.
The short teaser of Ernesto (エルネスト) begins with Odagiri telling Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (Juan Miguel Valero Acosta) that "he wants to be like him," in pretty decent accent (though we'll see in longer chunks of dialog), if I may add. He's playing Ernesto Freddy Maemura, a nikkei Japanese-Bolivian, who fought alongside Che Guevara during the Revolution.
Junji Sakamoto (A Chorus of Angels) adapted the story from El Samurai de la Revolucion by Maemura's sister, Mary Maemura, which is possibly the third Japan-Cuba co-production after Kazuo Kuroki's A Cuban Lover (キューバの恋人) in 1969 , and the documentary La Novia de Akira in 2011 , and marks the 50th anniversary of their executions in Bolivia.
Ernesto is set for an October 6th release in Japan, and an October 9th release in Cuba, the death anniversary of Che Guevara.
Apparently, the film has plans for a release in Central America, South America and Europe. No fixed dates, though.

Q: Can a fast blow fuse with higher current rating affect motor's performance? I have an old blender that I wanted to use after a couple of years. When I turned it on, it was functional for about half a minute and then stopped working.
When I took it apart, I found that the fuse was blown (slow T 500 mA, 250 V) so I took it out and because I thought that perhaps the fuse was just old and went when it shouldn't have, I wanted to try it with another one. Since I only had a fast one at hand and its rated current was much higher (1.6 A), I put it in there and turned the blender on, however the motor didn't appear to be working and instead produced low noise. The second fuse wasn't damaged.
My question is whether a fast fuse in place of a slow one can affect a motor's performance based on speed or higher rated current. If not, what could be the source of the problem?
Could there be an unrelated electrical problem that had caused the first fuse to blow but since the second can take much higher current, it now only overloads the motor?
Thank you.
(Note that I wasn't planning on using the 1.6 A fuse long-term; it was just to test if the rest was working correctly.)

A: The fuse is a safety device, it should not effect the normal operation of the appliance. it should only have effect in a fault.
It sounds like the motor failed, possibly seized bearings, or a short-circuited rotor winding.

One can always find a myriad of things to do - whether it be at home, in the office or the business. There will always be an opposing thing that will crop up in your mind that has the ability to sway you from doing that which really needs your undivided attention. There will always be that e-mail or list of internet tasks that will haunt your mind as being necessary to do now; that cup of coffee you desperately need to get now; that person you need to ring to organise your golf day - you and I know the list is endless and everyday it just gets bigger.
We are all caught up with technology and the companies that take over our lives - that which asks more of one than gives back - that which has to have everything finished yesterday. One is not obliged to remain in situations that consume our very souls that leave nothing of one at the end of the day, except a shell of a person who seeks the comfort of a pillow and bed. One then get up in the morning to repeat the same tedious tasks.
"What do I want out of life?"
"Is my life summed up by fulfilling other people's tasks?"
"How and what really defines me?"
Everyone one on this planet is here for a reason, you need to find that reason - I don't reckon we are here to fulfill the dreams and pockets of conglomerates. Placing your efforts into activities that help your heart to 'sing', enables one to really 'live', not just merely exist.

The Best Free Online Proxy Servers You Can Use Safely
Proxy sites and proxy servers allow internet users to bypass internet restrictions and access content that would otherwise be blocked.
Lots of free proxy providers exist, but which are the best? Are there any risks of using a free online proxy? And what alternatives are available?
Why Use a Free Proxy Server?
We've all experienced blocked sites. Schools, companies, public Wi-Fi networks, ISPs, and governments restrict access to certain types of content.
A free proxy is one of the many ways to circumvent restrictions if content is being blocked based on your geolocation. They route your traffic through a server in a different country, thus hiding your true location.
The Risks of Using a Free Proxy Server
Using a free proxy is not a risk-free endeavor. Some of the risks of using proxy servers include:
HTTPS: Research has shown that 79 percent of free proxy servers do not use an HTTPS connection, meaning data on the server you're using is not encrypted—people can see it.
Malware: It is hard for regular users to verify the security of a free proxy. There's a risk that the server could abuse your connection and use it to serve malware to your machine. Aggressive ads also pose a problem.
Service: Free proxies are often slow, overloaded, unreliable, and struggle to display many forms of content.
Read our article on reasons why you should avoid free proxy servers if you would like to learn more.
Which Is the Best Free Proxy Site?
Only a few free proxy sites offer the right mix of security, reliability, service, and reputation.
Our top five picks are:
1. HideMyAss
HideMyAss is best known as a VPN provider, but the company also offers a free proxy service that anyone can use.
Servers are available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic.
Unlike many free proxy sites, HideMyAss does offer some security options for your proxy connection. You can choose to encrypt your URL, disable cookies on the websites you visit, and prevent scripts from running.
2. Hide.me
Again, Hide.me is an established VPN provider that also has free proxy servers.
The list of supported countries is smaller than the HideMyAss proxy; servers are only available in the US, Germany, and the Netherlands.
However, the Hide.me free proxy makes up for its lack of locations with a longer list of security options. In addition to the features available on HideMyAss, you can also opt to remove objects and encrypt the page.
A Chrome extension and a Firefox extension are both available.
3. KProxy
KProxy is perhaps the most reliable of the free proxy sites that do not also provide VPN services.
Ten free US-based servers are on offer. Its single-country status means it's a perfect way for people in the US. to bypass network-based site restrictions, but it will not work as a tool for accessing geo-blocked content.
4. Whoer
Whoer is yet another VPN company that provides free proxy servers. It is only available as an extension on Chrome, Firefox, Yandex, and Opera.
The company has proxy servers available in Paris, Amsterdam, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, London, and Dallas.
5. Megaproxy
If you can look past the site's dated interface, you'll discover Megaproxy is a free proxy provider unlike the other four we have discussed.
It's one of the only free proxy sites that can also hide your browser and operating system, making it perhaps the most secure of the bunch.
Other features include a toggle to prevent the repetition of on-site animations and an ad-blocker. Megaproxy has a limit of 60 pages in five hours, so it's not a great long-term solution.
If you'd like even more options, we covered them in our list of the best web proxies.
Notable Paid Proxy Sites
We always suggest that you should use a VPN over a proxy server. ExpressVPN and CyberGhost are both highly recommended.
VPNs can hide your location like a proxy, but also come with several security benefits such as encryption, kill switches, and no logging.
If you want to use a proxy, there are paid options that don't suffer from the same issues as free proxy sites. They are mainly aimed at business users.
1. Luminati
Luminati is the largest proxy provider in the world. It offers more than 30 million IP addresses (both mobile and residential) in 20,000 cities across 195 countries. The service is excellent for businesses who want to verify ads, compare prices, source talent, and test their systems.
There are no session restrictions, exclusive IPs are offered, and there's 24/7 support available.
Luminati offers three different paid packages. A shared proxy is $0.50 per GB, a private proxy is $0.60 per month per IP, and residential and mobile IPs are $12.50 per GB.
2. RotatingProxies
If you only need US-based proxies, you should check out Rotating Proxies.
The company provides backconnect proxies (a server that uses a pool of residential proxies) for businesses to perform processes such as SEO, ad verification, account creation, scraping, and more.
All RotatingProxies packages offer unlimited bandwidth and five-minute rotation between proxy switches.
The cheapest package requires you to purchase 10 proxies. It costs $39 per month. Deals go all the way up to 1,000 proxies for $1,683 per month.
3. Smartproxy
Smartproxy provides users with more than 10 million residential proxy IP addresses. The proxies are available in 195 locations around the world and have an average response time of 3.1 seconds.
Like its competitors, Smartproxy's proxy servers are great for automation, accessing local data, improving marketing, and scraping the web.
At a more user-friendly level, the company's proxies will let you access sites like Facebook and Twitter if they are blocked on your network.
An entry-level plan cost $75 per month with 5GB of bandwidth. Plans are also available for $200, $400, and $600—each with improving terms.
The Best Solution?
There is a serious question mark over whether free proxies are worth your time. Unless you make sure you use a reliable provider, they are arguably no better than the free VPN services.
Not sure what we mean? Check out our piece on why you should never use a free VPN.

Bringing Middle East to Midwest [on Reham Othman; incl. Steve Tamari]
by Sarah Jacobsen
alestlelive.com (Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville)
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/16279/bringing-middle-east-to-midwest-on-reham-othman
Fulbright professor Reham Othman is bringing Arabic language and culture to SIUE this year through a new course in the Foreign Language and Literature Department.
Othman said she is teaching at SIUE as part of the Fulbright Scholar Program, an international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government. Othman is from Cairo, Egypt. Before being selected for the Fulbright program she worked as a teacher, film translator and at the Center of Curriculum and Material Development. She has also begun her master's degree in teaching methodology. Historical studies professor Steve Tamari said SIUE is fortunate to have her.
Othman's beginning Arabic course, FLL 121-003, is open to all students, and according to Tamari, it is a valuable course.
"The Middle Eastern world of Islam includes the most important parts of the world for America today," Tamari said. "They are the parts America is most involved in and are parts we know little about." ? ?
Tamari said SIUE has wanted to offer more in Middle Eastern studies for a long time.
"It's the perfect time for SIUE to get more involved and offer more," Tamari said. "The Middle East is a critical area for our country and the world in general."
Othman's students, including graduate student Jamie Haines, agree that this course is valuable. ?
"This course is important because it opens the door to the Arabic speaking world which was, for this university, previously closed academically," Haines said.
"As a graduate student in the Historical Studies Department, my focus is on Middle Eastern History, to which this class is imperative to further my studies."
According to Tamari, the most important part of a Middle Eastern studies program is language.
"Arabic is the most widely spoken of the Middle Eastern languages," he said. "It is also the language of the Koran, so it is important to Muslims beyond the Middle East."
Othman said Arabic is the official language of about 25 countries, and foreigners who can speak it are commodities.
"It is important for foreigners to learn Arabic," Othman said. "In the age of globalization and trade, there is a need for people who can communicate in Arabic."
Othman currently has 10 students she teaches the Arabic alphabet, sounds and some words to. She said her students have shown an early grasp of the Arabic language.
"A lot of them can now read and write," Othman said.
Haines said Othman has created an environment that is conducive to learning the new language.
"I am forever grateful for her patience as we learn a completely new alphabet and writing system," Haines said. "I was intimidated by what appeared to be a very challenging language, but with Ms. Othman's guidance, I am already reading and recognizing simple sentences."
Othman said she thinks culture is an important part of the course as well. She brought with her several things from Egyptian culture including pictures, clothing, currency and videos.
"I have a lot of things for my class, but I don't have enough time to teach them," Othman said.
Haines said learning about Arabic culture is an enlightening element of Othman's course.
"One of many positive aspects to this class is the experience of another culture that is so often negatively stereotyped, due to the media's narrow portrayal of the Arabic speaking world," she said. "Not only are the students learning a language that is less familiar to the Western world, but they are also capturing a glimpse into a very diverse and rich culture."
She said she would like to start an Arabic club to share more with her students. She would like to cook them food and share the Muslim marriage celebration, for example.
Othman said her Arabic class was intended only to be a semester-long course, but many of her students want to continue. The department is now allowing her to continue with these students next semester in addition to offering another beginner class.
According to Othman, students have many reasons for wanting to learn Arabic.
"Some said they know Arabic is completely different and were interested in knowing different things," she said. Others, she said, are planning to visit Egypt, and some want to know about the culture.
Othman said she loves teaching the Arabic language at SIUE because her students enjoy it as well.
?"I think my students like it, which makes me happy. I am thrilled when they learn something new," Othman said.

$10 million jury verdict for failure to provide police protection. Action brought on behalf of a young child who was severely burned by a Molotov Cocktail explosive device that was thrown into the bedroom of his family's apartment by an unapprehended perpetrator. The jury awarded $10,000,000. in compensatory and punitive damages, which award was reduced by the trial judge to $2,400,000. and affirmed on appeal. The jury found that the police broke their promise to the victim's family to put surveillance on their home on the night of the attack in order to catch the perpetrator in light of prior similar incidents and pending threats against a family member.

Glenn Hoddle (born 27 October 1957) is an English former footballer and manager who played as a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, AS Monaco, Chelsea and Swindon Town and at international level for England. He was most recently first team coach at Queens Park Rangers having been appointed, on a part-time basis, to assist Harry Redknapp in the summer of 2014.[3] However, following Redknapp's resignation in February 2015, Hoddle also left the club.
In 2007 he was inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame, which cited him as one of the most gifted English footballers of his generation, exhibiting "sublime balance and close control, unrivalled passing and vision and extraordinary shooting ability, both from open play and set pieces".[4]
He has been manager of Swindon Town (earning promotion to the Premier League), Chelsea (taking them to the FA Cup final), Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur (reaching a League Cup final) and most recently Wolverhampton Wanderers.
As manager, he took England to the World Cup second round in 1998, where they lost to Argentina on penalties.
He is currently running the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain, set up to help young British players return to professional football after being released by their clubs. Hoddle's younger brother Carl was also a footballer and died from a brain aneurysm on 2 March 2008 at the age of 40.

Playing career
Hoddle was born in Hayes, Hillingdon, London. He started his career at Watford, having been a product of their youth academy. Hoddle also played over 45 matches for his secondary school before being spotted at a school football game by a passing scout who was apparently walking his dog at the time.
Hoddle in 1983 against Feyenoord
Hoddle joined the club as a schoolboy apprentice in April 1974 following the recommendation of another Tottenham legend, Martin Chivers. He successfully overcame knee problems in his early teens and collected England Youth caps prior to making his first-team debut as a 17-year-old substitute against Norwich City in August 1975. Spurs drew 2–2. Hoddle was forced to wait until February 1976 to start a First Division match and immediately announced his arrival with a spectacular strike past Stoke City and England goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
He flourished under the management of Keith Burkinshaw and despite the club's relegation to the Second Division in 1976–77 after 27 seasons of First Division football, a Hoddle-inspired Spurs side won promotion to the top flight at the first attempt. As Tottenham's transitional phase continued, Hoddle's enigmatic and often controversial international career began in December 1976 against Wales in an Under-21 fixture. He would collect another seven caps at that level and play twice for the England 'B' team prior to scoring on his full international debut against Bulgaria in November 1979.
The 1979–80 campaign heralded the emergence of Hoddle as a top-class player; the 22-year-old midfielder scored 19 goals in 41 league appearances and was awarded the PFA Young Player of the Year award at the end of the season. In 1981, he starred as Spurs won the FA Cup for the sixth time, defeating Manchester City in a replay and the following season Tottenham retained the FA Cup (Hoddle scored in both the Final and Final replay) and finished the League campaign in fourth place, the club's best league position since 1971. Hoddle performed as the midfield fulcrum in many of these successes and also contributed magnificently as the team reached the final of the League Cup, losing 3–1 to Liverpool, and the semi-final stage of the European Cup Winners Cup. During the summer of 1982, Hoddle played in two of England's matches in the opening group phase of the FIFA World Cup, starting against Kuwait after a substitute appearance in a 2–0 victory over Czechoslovakia.
Hoddle's involvement in the following three seasons was limited by a number of niggling injury problems (he started only 76 of a possible 126 league matches) but nevertheless, Hoddle proved to be the architect behind the team's 1984 UEFA Cup triumph despite missing the Final due to fitness concerns. In October 1983, he helped Spurs win 6–2 on aggregate against a Feyenoord Rotterdam side containing Johan Cruyff. Such was the quality of his performance in both matches, the Dutch legend entered the Tottenham dressing room and offered Hoddle his shirt as a sign of respect.
Spurs came close to further honours in the next three seasons, reaching third place in the First Division and the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1984–85 and another FA Cup Final in 1987, losing 3–2 to Coventry City, the only time the North London club has experienced defeat in the final of the famous knock-out competition. The unexpected loss to the Midlands side was Hoddle's last match for Spurs as newly appointed AS Monaco manager Arsène Wenger brought him to the principality for a fee of £750,000. Between 1975 and 1987, the gifted playmaker scored 110 goals in 490 first-team matches in all competitions, only four players (Steve Perryman, Pat Jennings, Gary Mabbutt and Cyril Knowles) have made more appearances in a Spurs shirt. At international level, Hoddle won 44 caps for England during his Tottenham career.
In 1987, Hoddle also found himself in the pop charts, with the single "Diamond Lights'" making the UK Top 20 in a duet with Spurs and England team-mate Chris Waddle.
Hoddle announced in 1987 that he would be leaving Mark Hateley and immediately inspired the club to the 1988 Ligue 1 championship, its first league title in six seasons. Hoddle was voted the Best Foreign Player in French football and helped to guide the team to the quarter-finals of the European Cup in the 1988–89 campaign. Arsène Wenger was the coach who brought him to Monaco and ironically Hoddle would go on to face his former manager in the heated North London Derby as manager of Tottenham Hotspur. However, a severe knee injury curtailed his career at the highest level and in November 1990, the 33-year-old left the club by mutual consent having helped to improve the standing of English footballers in foreign countries.[5]
During his three and a half-year spell in France, Hoddle represented England nine times, making his international farewell against the Soviet Union in June 1988. He returned to England and signed for Chelsea on a non-contract basis, leaving Stamford Bridge in March 1991 without playing a senior match to assume his first managerial post as player-manager of Swindon Town.
England international career
Hoddle made his debut in England's Euro 80 qualifying tie against Bulgaria on 22 November 1979, scoring in a 2–0 win at Wembley. He scored in his third appearance against Australia on 31 May 1980 in a friendly in Sydney.[6] His third goal came in his fifth appearance on 25 March 1981 in a game against Spain at Wembley, which England lost 2–1. He reached the 10-cap point of his career on 27 April 1982 in the British Home Championship clash with Wales in Cardiff, which England won 1–0. By this stage of his international career he had scored four goals.[7]
He was included in the 1982 and 1986 FIFA World Cup squads, playing an important role in the latter campaign when England reached the quarter-finals against Argentina. Hoddle was one of the England players left behind by Diego Maradona as he burst from inside his own half to score his second goal in England's 2–1 defeat.
Hoddle also featured prominently in the European Championship squads of 1980 and 1988, making his 53rd and final international appearance in the final group game of Euro 88, in a 3–1 defeat to the Soviet Union in West Germany. He had scored eight goals for the England senior side in a career stretching nine years, the last of his international goals coming on 23 April 1986 in a 2–1 friendly win over Scotland at Wembley.[8]
Managerial career
Hoddle arrived at a troubled club with The Robins badly affected by a financial scandal which had seen them stripped of promotion to the First Division at the end of the 1989–90 season, a controversy which had negatively impacted the team's league form as they had been forced to sell several key players including midfielder Alan McLoughlin.
Hoddle prevented Swindon from slipping into the Third Division and further improvement throughout the 1991–92 season saw the Wiltshire club finish ninth, just missing out on a play-off place. They had briefly led the table in October.
Swindon reached the new Division One play-offs in 1993 and beat Leicester City 4–3 at Wembley, and were then promoted to the Premier League. Hoddle scored Swindon's first goal of the final.[9]
The 36-year-old Hoddle was one of the most highly rated young managers in England and many bigger clubs were demanding his services. Just days after guiding Swindon to promotion, he accepted the offer to manage Chelsea and was succeeded at Swindon by his assistant and former Spurs team-mate John Gorman.
In June 1993, Hoddle became player-manager of Chelsea (he retired from the playing side in 1995). His assistant at Chelsea was the former Tottenham manager Peter Shreeves, and they reached the FA Cup final in Hoddle's first season, where they lost 4–0 to Manchester United. But United had done the double, and consolation for their failure to win the trophy came in the form of a Cup Winners' Cup place. Chelsea reached the semi finals of that competition in 1994–95 and lost by a single goal to Real Zaragoza, who went on to beat Arsenal in the final. Hoddle guided Chelsea to the FA Cup Semi-finals in 1995–96, but was unable to take them beyond 11th place in the Premiership – they had occupied this final position three times in four years. He did establish them as a force in cup competitions and made them capable of attracting top-class players – such as Ruud Gullit – to the club.[10]
Hoddle's three-year reign at Chelsea came to an end in 1996 when he accepted the England manager's job on 2 May that year. He guided England to qualification for the 1998 World Cup, securing the team's entry with a memorable 0–0 draw in Rome against Italy. However, he caused controversy by omitting Paul Gascoigne from the squad and installing supposed faith healer Eileen Drewery as part of the England coaching staff, which led to the team being dubbed "The Hod Squad".[11] They reached the Second Round of the 1998 tournament, losing on penalties to Argentina. Hoddle came under fire after a disappointing start to the Euro 2000 qualifying campaign. Hoddle's time in charge of the national team was, sometime later, praised by Harry Redknapp who believed him to have been the "perfect man for the job".[12] Hoddle's 60% win rate during his spell as manager is only bettered by Sir Alf Ramsey and Fabio Capello.[13]
Dismissal from England job
" "My beliefs have evolved in the last eight or nine years, that the spirit has to come back again, that is nothing new, that has been around for thousands of years. You have to come back to learn and face some of the things you have done, good and bad. There are too many injustices around."
"You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap."
"You have to look at things that happened in your life and ask why. It comes around."
— Glenn Hoddle, from Matt Dickinson interview[14]
On 30 January 1999, with the England team preparing for Euro 2000, and amidst the fall-out from the previous season's World Cup, Hoddle gave an interview to Matt Dickinson of The Times newspaper in an attempt to defend himself against his critics (over issues such as Eileen Drewery and his faith[15]) and show a strong front for the remainder of the qualifiers.
Dickinson's interview revealed that Hoddle had a "controversial belief that the disabled, and others, are being punished for sins in a former life."[14] Hoddle's comments were criticised by several politicians including Sports Minister Tony Banks and Prime Minister Tony Blair.[16] Public opinion, based upon the immediate media furore resulted in (according to one BBC poll) 90% of respondents believing Hoddle should not continue as English manager.[17] However, the BBC survey showed that while many considered his comments insensitive to disabled people, others defended his right to express his religious beliefs by claiming that to sack him would constitute religious discrimination.[18]
Hoddle stated that he was not prepared to resign and claimed his words were misinterpreted and pointed out his contributions and commitment to organisations helping disabled people.[19][20] The Football Association terminated Hoddle's contract on 2 February 1999,[21] which was welcomed by representatives of disabled groups.[22] The disabled rights campaigner Lord Ashley however, while criticising Hoddle's views, defended his right to express them, likening the campaign against Hoddle to a "witchhunt" and considered Hoddle's dismissal "a sad day for British tolerance and freedom of speech"[22][23] a view which was shared by the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail[24] and in several foreign newspapers.[18][25] Some writers considered the remarks were used as a pretext to get rid of him.[26] Hoddle apologised for the offence that had been caused, stating it had never been his intention[21] and continued to fundraise for disabled groups after being dismissed.[27] Much later criticism was made of Hoddle's dismissal on the grounds that he had been forced out for non-footballing reasons.[28]
Hoddle was back in football within a year as Southampton manager, succeeding Dave Jones, who had been suspended to concentrate on clearing his name in connection with child abuse charges. Although these charges were later found to be false, Jones was not re-instated and Hoddle continued to be manager. Hoddle kept the Saints in the Premier League against all odds but left acrimoniously in March 2001 to return to Tottenham as manager. Southampton were on course for a 10th-place finish – their highest since 1995 – when Hoddle left.
Tottenham's league record in the decade leading up to Hoddle's appointment was disappointing; they had not finished in the top five since 1990 and their only major trophies in that time had been the FA Cup in 1991 and Football League Cup in 1999.
Hoddle was determined to establish them as a top playing side, and during his first season he had some wonderful opportunities to succeed. Just days after his appointment in April 2001, his first match in charge was an F.A Cup semi-final against great rivals Arsenal which Spurs lost 2–1. The following year, Tottenham reached the League Cup final in February 2002; after winning 5–1 against Hoddle's former club Chelsea in the semi-final second leg, Spurs were the favourites but they lost 2–1 to Blackburn Rovers. The club's promising early season form (which saw Hoddle voted Premier League Manager of the Month for October 2001) dwindled away into mediocrity and they finished ninth in the Premiership, an improvement on the previous season's 11th place but considerably less than what most people had been expecting.
Spurs began the 2002–03 season in fine form and Hoddle was named Premiership Manager of the Month for August 2002 after they ended the month top of the league. Although few people expected them to stay there, 10th place in the final table was still disappointing. The pressure began to build up on Hoddle and he was sacked in September 2003 after a poor start to the season, in which the team picked up just four points from their opening six league games and lay in the Premiership relegation zone. Coincidentally, his final game in charge was a 3–1 loss to old side Southampton.
Hoddle was linked with a return to Southampton in early 2004, but opposition from supporters meant chairman Rupert Lowe pursued alternative targets and ultimately selected Paul Sturrock instead.[29] Instead he returned to management on 7 December 2004[30] with Wolverhampton Wanderers, again succeeding Dave Jones. Wolves lost only one of remaining 25 games but failed to reach the play-offs because 15 of those games had been draws. Wolves were expected to finish in the top 6 under Hoddle in the 2005–06 season but again draws cost them with Wolves drawing 19 of their 46 league games. They were also one of the lowest goalscoring teams in the division scoring just 50 goals in the league all season. Wolves finished 7th, 8 points off the playoffs. Wolves fans turned against Hoddle and there were chants against him during the last home game of the season against Watford.[31] The board kept faith with Hoddle, but he stepped down on 1 July 2006, stating differing expectations between himself and the club as the reason for his departure.[32][33] In his time with Wolverhampton Wanderers, the club drew 34 league games in his 76 games in charge, spanning over two seasons.
His name was linked with the manager's job at Leeds United (owned by former Chelsea chairman Ken Bates) when Kevin Blackwell was sacked in September 2006, but the job went to Dennis Wise (who had played for Chelsea when Hoddle was the manager) instead.
By January 2008, Hoddle was attempting to raise the capital to form the Glenn Hoddle Academy based in Spain. The aim of the academy is to give another chance to young players released by football clubs in England to become professional players.[34] Ikechi Anya was his first player at the academy to get a professional contract at a club, with Sevilla Atlético in Spain.[35]
In June 2011, it was announced that The Glenn Hoddle Academy had linked up with English Conference North side Hyde. The Academy had previously enjoyed a link with the Spanish fourth-tier side Jerez Industrial, providing their entire squad and coaches, but fell out in a dispute over cash.[36]
Management Offers
Hoddle says he has had 26 serious management offers but insists he will not return to management until the academy is able to run itself.[37]
In April 2014 he revealed he had come close to taking over from Andre Villas Boas at Tottenham, before the job was given to Tim Sherwood.
"I did have talks with Daniel Levy and the club," Hoddle said. "He wanted a little bit of advice and a bit of a sounding board for himself. "[I said) 'I am there for you if you want me to take it to the end of the season and then we will have a little look at it then, I would be prepared to do that'. "I wouldn't do it for any other club for that short period of time. It was just that it is in my DNA. I have loved my time at other clubs, I really have, but being a Spurs supporter since I was eight, going there very young, it is in my blood."[38]
In August 2014, Hoddle was appointed first team coach at Queens Park Rangers under Harry Redknapp. However, on 3 February 2015, Redknapp resigned, following which Hoddle also left the club.[39]
Notable TV Work
Hoddle also works as a football pundit, where he worked mainly with Sky Sports but also worked for ITV during their coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In 2015, Hoddle became a pundit for BT Sport.

President Trump talked a lot about law and order during the campaign, and Leah Vukmir agrees this is a critical issue. We must make sure our police officers have the equipment & tools they need to combat violent criminals and keep our communities safe. Leah has introduced multiple pieces of legislation to toughen penalties for violent criminals because she believes we need to send a message to repeat felons that their behavior will not be tolerated.

few days ago, he copied one of my video reviewing keyboard. A reader told me, then i filed a copyright complaint. YouTube removed that video, but apparently, didn't do anythig about all his other stolen videos.


"If you are a Republican who sits on the committee that wrote the worst spending bill in our country's history and you voted for it, you're darn right we will hold you accountable," said Emily Seidel, CEO of Americans for Prosperity (AFP).
While spending by KochPAC is significant–it has distributed over $1 million so far for the 2018 elections–it pales in comparison with AFP's political spending and the $400 million the Koch donor network has committed to dole out this election cycle. KochPAC spending often signals future Koch network spending.
Dumping the Fairness Doctrine, near elimination of monopoly regulations, Citizens United, and voter suppression. Who knew it would come to this?

GMC TV's New Marvin Sapp Reality TV SHow
September 6, 2012 By Rob Houston
GMC TV PRESENTS THE ORIGINAL WORLD TELEVISION PREMIERE OF THE HIT REALITY SERIES
'THE SONG THAT CHANGED MY LIFE
WITH MARVIN SAPP'
FEATURING PASTOR AND AWARD-WINNING GOSPEL MUSIC
SINGER-SONGWRITER MARVIN SAPP AND HIS HIT SONG
'NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT'
NARRATED BY POP ICON AND TV HOST JOHN TESH
PREMIERES SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH AT 9:00 P.M. EST
EXCLUSIVELY ON GMC
GMC TV, America's favorite channel for uplifting family entertainment, presents the Original World Television Premiere of "The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp," the latest installment in the network's reality television series chronicling the impact of inspirational music by great artists. This emotionally powerful and inspiring episode features pastor and award-winning gospel music singer-songwriter Marvin Sapp and Yolanda Bennett, a former hairdresser and mother whose life was transformed by Sapp's 2007 hit single "Never Would Have Made It." The show is narrated by pop icon and radio-television presenter John Tesh. "The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp" makes its world television premiere exclusively on GMC TV on Saturday, September 8th at 9:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. EST.
"The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp" tells the story of Yolanda Bennett, an Atlanta mother who fell into a deep depression and dependence on prescription drugs after the back-to-back deaths of her husband and father. Remarkably, Bennett's downward spiral came to an overnight stop after she tuned in by chance to an awards show in which Sapp was performing "Never Would Have Made It." Inspired by the song, Bennett quit her medications cold turkey the next day and began turning her life around. Interwoven with Bennett's story are candid interviews with Sapp, who tells how the song came to him during a dark time of his own, when he was grieving the loss of his father in 2007.
"I broke down," says Sapp, who recorded with the group Commissioned in the 1990s before beginning a record-breaking solo career. "I sat in the pulpit with tears just rolling down my face and I just started singing these words. The next thing I know, the church just erupted. It was amazing."
At the urging of his wife, Sapp fleshed the song out and added it—almost as an afterthought—to his 2007 album Thirsty. The rest is history. "Never Would Have Made It" went on to become No. 1 in gospel radio for 47 weeks and remains the longest-running No. 1 single on radio across all genres. It was named the Top Song of 2008 by The Associated Press and people started calling Sapp "Mr. Never Would Have Made It."
"I want people to understand that you can get through things and move on and have a happier life," Bennett says. Sapp, who is the pastor at Lighthouse Full Life Center Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., adds, "I never understood the power of a song until this experience. The fact that something so little can impact somebody so much, I'm astounded and thankful."
"Everyone's life has a soundtrack and sometimes the song that's playing when you're going through challenging times can be a pivotal element in your life," says Rex Humbard, senior vice president productions and operations, GMC and executive producer. "In this episode of our series 'The Song that Changed My Life,' we see the power of something as simple as a heartfelt prayer that turned into a song with the power to transform lives. And let's face it, we've all had our 'never-would-have-made-it' moments and somehow found a way through it. We are thrilled to be able to share these moments with our GMC viewers."
In addition to Sapp and Bennett, "The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp"includes interviews with Sapp's brother Henry Sapp, as well as Bennett's sister Stephanie Cook; her mother, Dorothy Bennett; her daughter, Jayde Bennett; and her young son, Donavyn Bennett-Hill. Voiceover narration is by John Tesh, an award-winning American pianist and composer of pop music, as well as a prolific radio host and television presenter. GMC's "The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp" is produced by Hirsh TV in association with GMC. The episode was produced by Logan Hirsh and GMC TV.
"The Song that Changed My Life with Marvin Sapp" is the second installment in the network's reality television series chronicling the impact of inspirational music by great artists. The inaugural episode featured a Greenville, S.C. family whose lives were forever altered by the song "When Love Takes You In" by Steven Curtis Chapman, an American musician, songwriter, record producer, actor, author and social activist. The song, which focuses on the topic of adoption, was especially meaningful for Chuck and Shelley Pace, who were split on whether to adopt a child. The couple already had three biological children, but Shelley wanted to adopt a little girl from China while Chuck was less sure. All that changed when Chuck attended a concert by Chapman in 2005 and saw a video for "When Love Takes You In." The Pace family went ahead with the adoption as a result and welcomed a beautiful young girl into their family.

The 2012 Email Design "Look Book" from email marketing solution provider Responsys is a useful resource for email designers, creatives, and marketers alike looking for new ideas and inspiration to keep their campaigns fresh and engaging. It's also refreshing to see a technology company like Responsys dedicate so much (virtual) ink to the artistic side of the email marketing business, an aspect that often plays second fiddle to issues and best practices concerning data and technology.
The Look Book is a collection of 20 email designs, campaigns that were judged to be "at the leading edge of design, messaging, coding, and strategy." One caveat: almost all the designs featured are B2C campaigns, but that doesn't mean that we B2B marketers can't embrace some of these same techniques for our own initiatives.
You can download a free copy of the Look Book here. Do any of the campaigns strike you as particularly effective? Do others leave you scratching your head? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
