RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Raising Hope' Down In Season Premiere, 'Hart Of Dixie' On Par
It may be the DVR effect, impact of cable or the Internet, but it is kind of depressing seeing a whopping seven programs on the Big 4 broadcast networks post a 1 rating among adults 18-49 on Night 10 of the new season when viewer excitement is supposed to be still high.
Fox's all-comedy Tuesday block continues to struggle. The addition of Raising Hope as 8 PM anchor didn't help as the comedy opened its third season with a 1.7/5 among adults 18-49. That was down 45% from the series' second season premiere behind New Girl last fall. It was also down 19% from Raising Hope's debut in the Tuesday 8 PM slot last spring when Fox tried out a two-hour comedy block. New Fox comedies, Ben And Kate (1.6/5) and The Mindy Project (1.9/5) both crumbled in Week 2, down 24% and 21%, respectively, from their modest premieres. The big dropoff for critical darling The Mindy Project is especially concerning as the show followed New Girl. In one of the brighter spots on last night's ratings report, New Girl (2.8/7) matched its season premiere rating from last week, avoiding the proverbial "second-week slump." Ben And Kate's dropoff mirrored that of its lead-in (down 25% from last week when Fox aired a new New Girl at 8 PM.) (more…)

Appendix 3 – Use of Reasonable Force
The legal provisions on school discipline also provide members of staff with the power to use reasonable force to prevent pupils committing an offence, injuring themselves or others or damaging property, and to maintain good order and discipline in the classroom.
Head teachers and authorised school staff may also use such force as is reasonable given the circumstances when conducting a search without consent for knives or weapons, alcohol, illegal drugs, stolen items, tobacco and cigarette papers, fireworks, pornographic images or articles that have been or could be used to commit an offence
or cause harm. Force cannot be used to search for items banned under the school rules.
School staff have a legal power to use force and lawful use of the power will provide a defence to any related criminal prosecution or other legal action.
Suspension should not be an automatic response when a member of staff has been accused of using excessive force.
Senior school leaders should support their staff when they use this power. St John the Baptist Primary school follows the guidance from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Educational Psychology Service (HIEPS) and the DFE.
Please Note: Parental consent is not required to restrain a pupil.
What is reasonable force?
The term 'reasonable force' covers the broad range of actions used by most teachers at some point in their career that involve a degree of physical contact with pupils.
Force is usually used either to control or restrain. This can range from guiding a pupil to safety by the arm through to more extreme circumstances such as breaking up a fight or where a student needs to be restrained to prevent violence or injury.
'Reasonable in the circumstances' means using no more force than is needed.
As mentioned above, schools generally use force to control pupils and to restrain them. Control means either passive physical contact, such as standing between pupils or blocking a pupil's path, or active physical contact such as leading a pupil by the arm out of a classroom.
Restraint means to hold back physically or to bring a pupil under control. It is typically used in more extreme circumstances, for example when two pupils are fighting and refuse to separate without physical intervention.
School staff should always try to avoid acting in a way that might cause injury, but in extreme cases it may not always be possible to avoid injuring the pupil.
Who can use reasonable force?
All members of school staff have a legal power to use reasonable force.
This power applies to any member of staff at the school. It can also apply to people whom the head teacher has temporarily put in charge of pupils such as unpaid volunteers or parents accompanying students on a school organised visit.
When can reasonable force be used?
Reasonable force can be used to prevent pupils from hurting themselves or others, from damaging property, or from causing disorder.
In a school, force is used for two main purposes – to control pupils or to restrain them.
The decision on whether or not to physically intervene is down to the professional judgment of the staff member concerned and should always depend on the individual circumstances.
The following list is not exhaustive but provides some examples of situations where reasonable force can and cannot be used.
Schools can use reasonable force to:
remove disruptive children from the classroom where they have refused to follow an instruction to do so;
prevent a pupil behaving in a way that disrupts a school event or a school trip or visit;
prevent a pupil leaving the classroom where allowing the pupil to leave would risk their safety or lead to behaviour that disrupts the behaviour of others;
prevent a pupil from attacking a member of staff or another pupil, or to stop a fight in the playground; and
restrain a pupil at risk of harming themselves through physical outbursts.
Schools cannot:
use force as a punishment – it is always unlawful to use force as a punishment.
Communicating the school's approach to the use of force
Every school is required by law to have a behaviour policy and to make this policy known to staff, parents and pupils. This policy should include guidance on the use of reasonable force although this is not a legal requirement.
Any policy on the use of reasonable force should acknowledge their legal duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled children and children with SEND.
Schools do not require parental consent to use force on a student.
By taking steps to ensure that staff, pupils and parents are clear about when force might be used, the school will reduce the likelihood of complaints being made when force has been used properly.
For further detail please see SJB Physical Intervention Policy.

Sheriff Dan Coverley talks to the press and residents about two homicides in five days on Monday morning.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. — A woman killed in her home near Placerville is not related to two Gardnerville Ranchos homicides that occurred over the past week.
According to the El Dorado Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a home where the victim, Helen Hoover (McKinney), 60, was found dead on Dec. 18.
An autopsy revealed Hoover (McKinney) was killed as a result of blunt-force trauma.
She hadn't been heard from between Nov. 29.
El Dorado investigators say her white 2017 Nissan 370Z convertible was found in Sacramento. No one has been arrested in connection with the killing.
Anyone with information about the El Dorado case is asked to call Detective Rich Horn at 530-642-4729.
People with tips about the Gardnerville Ranchos homicides may call the dedicated hotline 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 775-783-6030 or email dcsotips@douglasnv.us anytime.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. — A homicide in El Dorado County may be similar to the two homicides that occurred in the Gardnerville Ranchos over the past week.
According to the El Dorado Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a home where the victim, Helen Hoover (McKinney), 60, was found dead at her home southwest of Placerville on Dec. 18.
She hadn't been heard from since Nov. 29. There were no signs of forced entry at her home.
El Dorado investigators reported her white 2017 Nissan 370Z convertible was missing. It was later found in Sacramento.
Two women were killed over the course of five days in the Douglas County community of Gardnerville Ranchos. The two women lived alone within a mile of one another.
On Wednesday, Sheriff Dan Coverley said Douglas County investigators are contacting their counterparts in El Dorado County to compare notes and determine the cases' similarity.
UPDATE: This story has been updated to include the location of Helen Hoover's (McKinney) home, and the fact that her vehicle was recovered in Sacramento.


Mark Sperry's Sunday morning started with eating breakfast in a hotel, dressing in his marching band uniform and taking a trip to the Lincoln Memorial National Monument for a photo with the other 111 members of Northern State University Marching Wolves.
"It was kind of interesting. While we were taking our picture, some of the locals thought we were a big deal and started taking pictures of us," said Sperry, a sophomore from Bath who plays alto sax.
The band is set to march the streets of Washington, D.C., today as part of the 57th presidential inauguration parade. Along with roughly 60 other bands and groups, the Wolves were selected from more than 2,800 applications that were submitted. They'll be marching in the inauguration parade at 1:30 p.m. CST.
Students arrived in the nation's capitol Saturday morning after two bus trips and a plane ride. The students were given time over Saturday and Sunday to explore the city before marching in the parade.
Students spent most of Saturday touring the sites of the city and, on Sunday, there was a similar agenda.
Sperry said he and a few other bandmates walked the 1.5 miles of the parade route Sunday afternoon to get an idea of what the scenery would look.
After that, they made their way to the Old Post Office Building and the National Archives, both iconically historical buildings in the city. His group finished up with a tour at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
"You could definitely tell that the other people in our group were really moved by that," he said.
Sperry, who's visited the capital before with his family and for 4-H club, has visited some of the museums before. But it's a different experience when you're with a different crowd, he said.
Something that was new: Being stopped short of entering the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts because Michelle Obama was there for a concert. The center was closed off to further visitors for a few hours while the first lady was in the building, Sperry said.
The band isn't worrying too much about rehearsing at this point. The last rehearsal was Thursday in Aberdeen.
For Tyson Meyer, a senior from Leola who plays trumpet in the band, there has only been some talk about the performance.
"We've done a lot of practice and preparing before we came on this trip," said Meyer. While he is feeling a little anxious, he said there was more excitement over marching in the parade.
"Not a lot of people get to march in the inaugural parade and it's just kind of about having fun and being able to enjoy it," he said.

LITTLETON -- The Congregational Church of Littleton, 330 King St., will hold community caroling tonight with a family-friendly evening to spread Christmas cheer and greetings while visiting friends and families in the Littleton area. Carolers should meet at the church at 4 p.m.
Then on Sunday, join us for indoor cookies and caroling. Bring a couple dozen cookies to swap at 2 p.m. and check out the contributions of others (tasting encouraged) and reload your cookie tins with a variety to take home, but not before the casual caroling and sing-along in the warmth of the Parish Hall.
WESTFORD -- The public is invited to "Live Nativity," a 30-year holiday tradition presenting a realistic reenactment of the birth of Jesus Christ. This unique event will take place on Sunday at 7 p.m., at the United Methodist Church of Westford (UMCW), 10 Church St.
Local residents will portray Jesus, Mary and Joseph, while members of the church will serve as wise men, angels and shepherds. "A Touch of Magic Equestrian Center" in Pepperell will be bringing Mocha, their pony and possibly a goat or chickens.
Christmas carols will be sung, accompanied by the Chelmsford Community Jazz Ensemble. Anyone who can play a band instrument is welcome to join the Live Nativity Band. We will meet about 15 minutes before the event.


Abstract. We give a new proof of the stable manifold theorem for hyperbolic fixed points of smooth maps. This proof shows that the local stable and unstable manifolds are projections of a relation obtained as a limit of the graphs of the iterates of the map. The same proof generalizes to the setting of stable and unstable manifolds for smooth relations.
The original preprint was posted on October 3, 1995, at the Geometry Center as GCG 88. The Geometry Center Website is maintained now at the University of Illinois.

All its products are made in Germany and are designed to suit all your electronic needs, whether in your workplace or at home. EVOline holds the German Design Award for producing excellent products in 2017.
The design of a properly functioning office, the product needs to take into account the flexibility, working methods, and the need for communication by having adaptive technical solutions. Luckily the new bespoke products have flexible mounting systems with round sockets that are not only suitable for your desks but can also be fitted on furniture.
The new electrification systems are designed in a manner that integrates easily with any design. Whether in your workplace, kitchen or the bedroom. EVOline products ensure that you have fast and secure data or power access whenever you need it. The products are also designed to be highly adaptive thanks to the wide range of EVOline exchangeable modules inserts. When it comes to safety, EVOline Bespoke products provides a rotatable cover. This type of sockets can safely be installed in the kitchen. In such a setting, it will reduce the chances of electrocution due to spilled water on open sockets.
EVOline Bespoke products are designed not only to suit your needs but also to save your time on installation. A good example is the EVOline One Round design that allows quick installation and is easily integrated on any surface, including office furniture. The product's installation only requires one to cut out a hole that is 54 mm in diameter. Its design ensures a secure hold by a plate thickness of 9mm. The socket can either be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the owner's preference.
These sockets have special frames that make it easy to mount exchangeable modules. Different modules hold different sizes, therefore not all types can be combined. Some of the frames are 50x50mm, others are 50mm full size, while some are a bit smaller and take up to 25mm. Finally, the complete exchangeable frame needs to be filled. The size can be discussed when ordering so that the company releases the exact type of the sockets ordered. For this purpose, one would need to contact the company directly so that the factory now releases double modules as requested by the customer.
The products are designed in a way that one can individually configure them to suit different needs. They also offer a wide range of sockets to choose from for specific uses. Most systems can easily be attachable to your work desk, and this will help you save space. If your biggest concern is saving space, you can consider buying the Fliptop Push or FrameDock. This product can be configured to suit several needs. It is designed to sit in right on top of the desk without occupying any space, unless when pushed to pop up. EVOline exchangeable modules make it possible to have an all-in-one socket on your desk rather than having different data and power extensions taking up space on your desk.
There is nothing as good as being able to customize the selected product in whatever way you think is best for you. EVOline exchange allows you to pick a particular design but with different combinations of your choice. When shopping for Bespoke EVOline systems, you will be able to select the available designs and yet order for different socket modules. This means that you can have your power, data, and communications cable sockets all in one place. The Bespoke models provide quite a variety of sockets, including the powerful USB charging systems, port pop up sockets, power socket rails, and the fliptop push that also comes with exchangeable modules. Evoline exchange lets everything occupy the minimum amount of space.

A Wallflower Life
Sam Lasky
From Dirt Water to Delicacy
When I was little I thought coffee was made by soaking water in dirt. I couldn't believe people drank such a concoction for breakfast, and I never thought I would be one of them. However, over the years, my hatred for coffee manifested itself into a deep appreciation. As is true with most of us, man's elixir for life reeled me in. This love affair took me from Dunkin' to Starbucks to La Columbe, all the way to Brazil! Pretty soon, there was no going back. I decided that whether at home or abroad, I had to taste the coffee of the world.
(Left to Right): Italy, Morocco, Boston.
But the world is a different place than America. And while it's not surprising that every country cultivates different values, it's amazing how estranged those values can be from the ones I learned growing up in the U.S. In Italy, Italians want to live life to the fullest. People are beautiful, moments are exquisite, and gratitude is expressed at every meal. In Morocco, they live on a different clock; a phenomenon known as "Morroccan time", giving people more leeway to enjoy their family, leisure, or work."Late" is not a concept the Moroccans toil over. In Sweden, a "fika" or, a social coffee break, is an encouraged cultural traditional that is embroiled in daily life.
But that's not exactly the case in the Fifty Nifty United States.
Large Iced Dunkin' Latte
"America runs on Dunkin'" the slogan goes. Not sits, sips, or enjoys — but runs. Because if we're not running, we're not productive, and coffee is one of many shortcuts to productivity (or so we've decided). But when I first developed an appreciation for coffee, it wasn't even for caffeine or convenience. It was for enjoyment. All around me was the opportunity to indulge in a carefully-crafted beverage: roasted beans, foamed milk, rich flavors. From the unforgettable smell to the oaky color, coffee always stood out as this beautiful, irreplaceable thing. It became less beautiful when I realized just how manufactured the process was, and how manufactured we, as people, were becoming in our pursuit of it.
Because if we can't enjoy something as simple as a cup of coffee, if we can't spare even the smallest expense to appreciate the rich history and tradition present in our morning joe, then what can we enjoy?
Sadly, the story of coffee in America tells the story of most things in this country. It goes like this: as people trapped in a society driven by money and success, we have chosen to compromise beauty for efficiency and culture for convenience. Not just in big ways, but in every little way as well.
A hot and cold Starbucks "macchiato"
Dunkin' and Starbucks have arguably contributed to the downfall of coffee as an experience, an art, and an artisanal commodity. It sounds harsh, but they certainly haven't helped preserve the sanctity of their origins (that being late 19th century Italy — not 20th century Boston or Seattle). Maybe the intention was true when they started: give America what it wants, but cheaper and more palatable for the average consumer. However, it has since evolved into a corporate operation to maximize store locations and globalize what was once a cultural art form. Just take the macchiato, for example. Starbucks labels their sweet caramel creation as such, when Italians once coined the name because the word macchiato means "stained", as in coffee stained with a little bit of milk. See the difference? One is a sugary fun house, while the other is an authentic coffee beverage. If you were like me and defined a macchiato through Starbucks first, then you understand the direct impact of how coffee has suffered under the hands of corporate powerhouses. Starbucks isn't just a part of our geography; it's now a part of our narratives.
But maybe there is hope for our country. It starts with passion, and beyond that, education. Supporting artisanal coffee shops/suppliers while learning how to make authentic coffee can reinstate the true experience of this coveted beverage. I know not all of us are willing to sacrifice a grande iced vanilla latte, but for those of us who see the value in enjoying our coffee and going back to its roots, there is a benefit. It comes in the form of philosophy, of learning how to sit, slow down, and truly enjoy something.
Personally, I'm happy I came around to the dirt water. Not because I can get it anywhere quickly or cheaply, but because sipping it is an experience I could not replace if I tried.

Deviant Art Tend to Form Subcultures
October 14, 2013 October 14, 2013 - by Adriana - 1 Comment
With the advent of the new technology comes a whole bunch of new art sharing options. One of these is the website "Deviant Art." This site has created a whole new era in artistic cultural exchange. People are encouraged to draw whatever they wan, without censorship or judgment, and share it with each other.
As a result, those on Deviant Art tend to form subcultures. These are often very varied in form. For example, those who are interested in drawing combinations of people and animals might form a group and all share art with each other.
Additionally, those who are interested in drawing in different styles might form groups as well. Anime, noir, or even something more specific like "Simpson's Style art" might be seen on deviant art groups. The benefit here is that, not only can you find other people who might be interested in your type of art; you can also find support and encouragement.
It can be difficult to start out as an artist. It can also be difficult to find support groups available in your particular location on earth. But with sites like Deviant Art, it becomes considerably easier. You can find people interested in exactly the same type of art as you, who love to help people interested in the same art and encourage them forward in that pursuit in general.
Sites such as deviant art and places like it also have other benefits. For example, Deviant art can be a great place to promote and try to sell your art. There are controls on the site that allow you to do exactly this in an easy way where Deviant Art takes a small cut of the profits. You can do commissions this way as well. If you've made a name for your self on the site by doing art pieces that other people enjoy, you could get a lot of followers.
You can then tell these followers that you're willing to do commissions of anything, or of a particular type. This can be a way for starving artists to pay the bills and keep going forward in their endeavors.
Social art sites like Deviant Art are also a place where people can promote their particular campaigns. By doing art regularly and getting a following, you have power to promote anything to your followers. This will be a lot more effective, of course, if you promote something that they would be interested in, like anime to an anime account on DA.
In the end, Deviant Art is a great way to learn and grow as an artist. There's no better way to do this tan around other people who are attempting the same things as you, and who can give you advice on how to not only become more talented in a particular art subject or style, but also on how to promote yourself and break into the art world. This is a unique opportunity that many have used to rocket themselves to online stardom.

Should you forgive and forget? Is anything unforgivable? Are there times when you shouldn't forgive?
Darkwood Brew Executive Director Rev. Eric Elnes, Ph.D., and popular series guest Rev. Bruce Van Blair are front and center for a provocative and surprising examination of the Christian concept of forgiveness. This four-part systematic study asks where the authority to forgive comes from; when is forgiveness required; and whether or not forgiveness might be optional. Spoiler alert: It's not.

Q: how to present a pop-up message based on Observable property? I have a pop-up message that I want to present when my observable is delivered, its a string observable.
this is my function that returns string observable:
public sendUpdate() {
 this._mtService.sendCurrentUpdate(this.myList).subscribe(
 res => this.messageToDisplay = res,
 error => this.messageToDisplay = error
 );
 }

this is my function that I present the pop up with the relevant message:
public showMessageDialog(message) {
    let config = new MdDialogConfig()
      .title('Message:')
      .textContent(message)
      .ok('Got it');

    this.dialog.open(MdDialogBasic, this.element, config);
  }

now, I want to know where and how should I call this message to present messageToDisplay when the observable is ready.
I t would be even better if you can tell me how I can show some loader while the observable is waiting to receive the string and then when its there present it...
I tried to do this:
public sendUpdate() {
     this._mtService.sendCurrentUpdate(this.myList).subscribe(
     res => this.messageToDisplay = res,
     error => this.messageToDisplay = error
     );
    this.showMessageDialog(this.messageToDisplay);
     }

but what happens here is that the first time i click on update i see an empty pop-up and if I click on it again I see the pop-up with the message, its obvious that it happens because the string didnt came back yet, but how do I get over it?
thanks!

A: The functions you pass to subscribe() will be called later/asynchronously, hence you need to call showMessageDialog() later as well:
public sendUpdate() {
   this.showLoader();
   this._mtService.sendCurrentUpdate(this.myList).subscribe(
     res   => { this.stopLoader(); this.showMessageDialog(res); },
     error => { this.stopLoader(); this.showMessageDialog(error); }
   );
 }

Trump impeachment inquiry: The case for and against
latestnewsonlineDic 05, 2019USA News
From right: Noah Feldman, Pamela Karlan, Michael Gerhardt and Jonathan Turley
Experts are debating what the US Constitution says about impeachment, in light of the ongoing inquiry into President Donald Trump's alleged abuse of power involving Ukraine. So what did they say?
The US Constitution provides in Article II, Section 4, that the president, the vice-president and all civil officers, may be impeached for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".
But what that actually means has long been a subject of debate.
On Wednesday, four constitutional lawyers appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to give their view – three called by the Democrats and one by Republicans.
It marks a new phase of the impeachment inquiry as the committee considers drawing up articles of impeachment – in effect, a charge sheet. After a president is impeached in the House of Representatives, the Senate then votes on conviction and removal from office.
In this case, the US president is accused of an abuse of power in trying to extract political favours from Ukraine by withholding military aid and a White House meeting with Ukraine's leader.
But does that deserve impeachment and possible subsequent removal from office? Here's what the legal scholars said.
What is impeachment?
Impeachment evidence overwhelming – report
The case for impeachment
President Trump's conduct described in the testimony and evidence clearly constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanour under the Constitution. According to the testimony and to the publicly released memorandum of the July 25, 2019, telephone call between the two presidents, President Trump abused his office by soliciting the president of Ukraine to investigate his political rivals in order to gain personal political advantage, including in the 2020 presidential election. This act on its own qualifies as an impeachable high crime and misdemeanour.
Noah Feldman, Harvard Law School
The president's serious misconduct, including bribery, soliciting a personal favour from a foreign leader in exchange for his exercise of power, and obstructing justice and Congress are worse than the misconduct of any prior president, including what previous presidents who faced impeachment have done or been accused of doing.
When we apply our constitutional law to the facts found in the Mueller Report and other public sources, I cannot help but conclude that this president has attacked each of the Constitution's safeguards against establishing a monarchy in this country. Both the context and gravity of the president's misconduct are clear: The "favour" he requested from Ukraine's president was to receive – in exchange for his release of the funds Ukraine desperately needed – Ukraine's announcement of a criminal investigation of a political rival. The investigation was not the important action for the president; the announcement was because it could then be used in this country to manipulate the public into casting aside the president's political rival because of concerns about his corruption.
Michael Gerhardt of the University of North Carolina School of Law
Wouldn't you know in your gut that such a president had abused his office, betrayed the national interest and tried to corrupt the electoral process? I believe the evidentiary record shows wrongful acts on that scale here. It shows a president who delayed meeting a foreign leader and providing assistance that Congress and his own advisers agreed served our national interest in promoting democracy and limiting Russian aggression. And it shows a president who did this to strong-arm a foreign leader into smearing one of the president's opponents in our ongoing election season.
Media captionProfessor Pamela Karlan rebukes Republican congressman
Based on the evidentiary record, what has happened in the case before you is something that I do not think we have ever seen before: a president who has doubled down on violating his oath to "faithfully execute" the laws and to "protect and defend the Constitution". The evidence reveals a president who used the powers of his office to demand that a foreign government participate in undermining a competing candidate for the presidency.
Pamela Karlan, Stanford Law School
A SIMPLE GUIDE: If you want a basic take, this one's for you
GO DEEPER: Here's a 100, 300 and 800-word summary of the story
WHAT'S IMPEACHMENT? A political process to remove a president
VIEW FROM TRUMP COUNTRY: Hear from residents of a West Virginia town
CONTEXT: Why Ukraine matters to the US
FACT-CHECK: Is the whistleblower linked to the Democrats?
And the case against impeachment
President Trump will not be our last president and what we leave in the wake of this scandal will shape our democracy for generations to come. I am concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger. If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president. That does not bode well for future presidents who are working in a country often sharply and, at times, bitterly divided.
By Jonathan Turley, George Washington University Law School and BBC contributor
And he continued:
I get it. You are mad. The president is mad. My Democratic friends are mad. My Republican friends are mad. My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog is mad… and Luna is a golden doodle and they are never mad. We are all mad and where has it taken us? Will a slipshod impeachment make us less mad or will it only give an invitation for the madness to follow in every future administration?
That is why this is wrong. It is not wrong because President Trump is right. His call was anything but "perfect" and his reference to the Bidens was highly inappropriate. It is not wrong because the House has no legitimate reason to investigate the Ukrainian controversy. The use of military aid for a quid pro quo to investigate one's political opponent, if proven, can be an impeachable offense. It is not wrong because we are in an election year. There is no good time for an impeachment, but this process concerns the constitutional right to hold office in this term, not the next.
No, it is wrong because this is not how an American president should be impeached. For two years, members of this Committee have declared that criminal and impeachable acts were established for everything from treason to conspiracy to obstruction. However, no action was taken to impeach. Suddenly, just a few weeks ago, the House announced it would begin an impeachment inquiry and push for a final vote in just a matter of weeks.
To do so, the House Intelligence Committee declared that it would not subpoena a host of witnesses who have direct knowledge of any quid pro quo. Instead, it will proceed on a record composed of a relatively small number of witnesses with largely second-hand knowledge of the position. The only three direct conversations with President Trump do not contain a statement of a quid pro quo and two expressly deny such a pre-condition.
What's the point of having legal experts?
Democrats – because they have a majority on the committed – selected three of the participants. Not surprisingly, they all agreed that Donald Trump's conduct constituted impeachable offences.
Jonathan Turley, picked by the Republicans, acknowledged that the president's actions were far from "perfect," but lamented the anger in American politics and warned that action in this case would dangerously lower the bar for impeachable conduct for future presidents. It wasn't exactly the full-throated defence the president enjoys from his political allies.
The stated task for the Judiciary Committee in the coming days will be to determine whether the facts established in the earlier Intelligence Committee hearings constitute impeachable acts.
That's what the professors were there to help accomplish. In reality, it seems the minds of most on the committee – as with the witnesses – are already made up.
By BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher
Why were previous presidents impeached?
Media captionWhat does it take to impeach a president?
Two presidents were impeached and another resigned before his probable impeachment.
But no president has ever been removed from office – that requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
In 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached on the grounds of perjury and obstruction of justice after he lied about the nature of his affair with Monica Lewinsky and then allegedly asked her to lie about it as well.
The only other president impeached was Andrew Johnson in 1868. He was accused of, among other things, dismissing his secretary of war against the will of Congress.
Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before he could be impeached over the Watergate scandal.

out getting hired is often a matter of whom you know. In John Lasseter's case it was Skip Brittenham, a Hollywood deal maker and a close friend of the Ellison family, of Oracle and World Cup fame.
Skip was also one of the guys who brokered the deal in 1991 to get a young startup company in the Bay Area a feature contract with Disney. That startup was called Pixar.
Skip was delivered to Pixar by Steve Jobs, who offered him a seat on the board because of his Hollywood connections. It turns out Skip also represents David Ellison, who is Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's son, and David owns a startup animation studio, Skydance.
Indeed, there is yet another close connection: Skip's daughter Kristina is marred to Jesse Sisgold, president of Skydance.
Rebecca Keegan, from The Hollywood Reporter's staff pieced this puzzle together and uncovered additional information. To independently investigate sexual abuse claims by Pixar's women, Skydance hired two lawyers from the firm Venable, but Keegan found scant evidence for a thorough investigation.
Rebecca located one person who described his interview with the lawyers as "a perfunctory conversation," and she said that other people familiar with the allegations had not been contacted.
Rebecca also noted Skydance was a privately owned company so there wouldn't be a troublesome board members objecting to the Lasseter hire. So as long as John doesn't do anything controversial, like hug someone, he has the full support of Skydance's owners and executives.
John is 62. If he wishes to stay active as a creative person, he can have a solid career ahead of him. If he gets bored or screws up he can always retire and enjoy being a gentleman wine maker if he keeps his property in the Bay Area.
And don't forget as the creative head of Pixar he became a multi-millionaire many times over.

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES): Feasibility and Implementation in the upper uThukela Area

Water is predicted to be the single biggest future development constraint in South Africa. A new water supply augmentation option has been identified which can promote local economic development in rural areas and create hundreds of jobs. Paying people to manage the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg catchments for enhanced water supply has been shown to be financially feasible. Recent research in upper uThukela area of the uKhahlamba- Drakensberg shows that robust vegetation cover in the upper catchments – through maintaining the recommended cattle carrying capacity, by burning the mountain grasslands in the spring every second year and rehabilitating severely degraded areas – can enhance water resources by reducing summer stormflows, increasing winter baseflows by an additional 13 million m3, reducing annual sediment yields by 1.3 million m3, and sequestering 134,000 tonnes of carbon per year. Importantly catchment management costs are at the most 20% of the direct value of tradable benefits, making catchment management a financially attractive option. Improved management and rehabilitation was predicted to also result in 1,800 restoration jobs in the first 7 years, with some 500 permanent jobs.
PES is being implemented worldwide and has been shown to have new and exciting applications in southern Africa. The first implementation of PES in South Africa began in April 2010, in the upper uThukela area of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg mountains. Progress and challenges are discussed in the presentation.

'The Best Man Holiday' Director, Malcolm D. Lee, Talks Sequel & Black Film Renaissance
By Brennan Williams

14 years since making his directorial debut in the romantic comedy-drama, "The Best Man," Malcolm D. Lee has fulfilled fans long-awaited request with the film's sequel, "The Best Man Holiday."
The Christmas-themed follow-up finds Lee reuniting with the ensemble cast, which includes Morris Chestnut, Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Monica Calhoun, Melissa De Sousa, Terrence Howard, and Regina Hall, at their characters regroup for a holiday retreat filled with laughs and a bit of misfortune along the way.
During a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Lee opened up on directing and producing the project, in addition to his thoughts on the resurgence of black films in theaters and the reason why most studios refuse to release soundtracks.
How was your experience filming the sequel to your debut film?
In some ways it was tougher than the first one. I put pressure on myself for the first movie. I set out to make a classic. I set out to make something that would stand the test of time. And fortunately it's been regarded that way by fans. So with the sequel I knew if we were going to make it at all, it had to be just as good if not better. So I wrote a script that I thought would achieve that. And then you get the actors who are certainly willing to do it for no money…But it was a much more ambitious script than the first one. And that one wasn't ambitious at our budget level and with as many of locations that we had. This one was just as ambitious even though we spent 75% of our time at one location in this mansion. But I've gotten better as a filmmaker and actors have gotten better as performers. It was all a challenge, but also one that I welcomed.
How long did it take to film?
It took two years from when I first presented it to the studio to get a green light. And mind you, they had notes that was of value and that helped. But the essence of the story that I was telling was the one that you're seeing on the screen that they were hesitant about. But we got to a place where they understood what I wanted and it took the cast coming into the studio to do a read through of the script to convince them that, "oh ok, we understand now what this movie is and how special this cast is." So everyone was all in once that happened.
Would you be interested in filming another "Best Man" sequel?
Well, let's put it like this. If there's a demand for a third 'Best Man' it will not take 14 years. If it happens, it will not be that long of a stand. We're not doing "Best Man: Nursing Home." [Laughs]
As a filmmaker what are your thoughts on the recent resurgence of black films in theaters? And what do you think black directors should do to keep the trend going?
Make quality movies. The saying goes; "It's quality, not quantity." Just keep making quality movies. There's been some really, really good movies over the past, I would say 18 months from African American filmmakers, and they're not just African-American filmmakers that are telling parts of the African-American experience. "42" was not a black director or writer, one of the producers was black. But it was a really good movie… "The Butler,"' "12 Years a Slave" is phenomenal. "Middle of Nowhere" that came out a year ago. It just shows diversity and a wealth of choices that we can finally have as moviegoers. It's not just, "Oh, let's go see the black movie." There's a ton of them.
And they should be in the genre that they belong in. There's comedies, there's musicals, there's dramas, there's historical dramas, there's indies… This is a great, great thing. Let's keep making movies that will be better than the ones that just came out. Let's keep raising the bar. We've been in this place before where we've seen a wealth of movies come out, but they tend to be one genre.
How instrumental were you with arranging "The Best Man Holiday" soundtrack?
I was very integral with the soundtrack, because I wrote a lot of Christmas songs into the script when I was writing it. So a lot of those songs appear in the film. And when it came time to putting together a soundtrack deal, RCA stepped up to the plate and had a roster of artists that are just fantastic and really would do a great job helping to be the fabric of the movie. It's a great mixture of Christmas songs and songs that fit well into the fabric of the film.
What are your thoughts on the lack of soundtracks that are released with today's black films?
The music industry is just so different now. Kids are taking music for free all the time. They have Spotify, Pandora…The record companies aren't making the kind of music that they used to make. Artists make their money on tours, not from album sales. So it's like, unless it's going to be an event type of record then the record labels aren't going to make them. And you can't really blame them for that. Fortunately, we had a brand that was right for doing an event type of a record. And it's a great record to have. It's one of those records, I think because it has Christmas music in it, that will get played every year. And hopefully in the in between months as well.
I love soundtracks that really play well into the movie and work in a symbolic way. You watch the movie, you hear this great music. You hear the music, it reminds you of the movie and it makes you want to watch the movie again. It all works in that way, and it evokes memories of the first time you saw the movie.That's how the best soundtracks work.
"The Best Man Holiday" is now playing in theaters.

Singular Health rolls out new 3D medical imaging app

Singular Health has launched a new application that allows the company's cutting-edge 3Dicom medical imaging software to be used on a range of mobile phones and portable devices. The new software is designed to integrate seamlessly with Singular's secure data delivery platform, allowing patients to simply scan a QR code to access their CT and MRI scans and begin modelling them in the new app.
Interestingly, the roll-out of the 3Dicom Mobile application, or "app" is the culmination of Singular's first-phase of development for the software which allows users to access digital two-dimensional medical scans and upload them to the innovative data modelling package to create fully manipulatable three-dimensional models. Patients and practitioners can then use the full gambit of virtual reality technologies to undertake everything from model slicing to fly-throughs to view any potentially developing medical condition.
In addition, the integrated software and network platforms allow medical practitioners and specialists to readily share the imaging and models. The software also facilitates greater collaboration between practitioners on their various observations and more effectively communicate with the patient. According to the company, this high-level of connectivity allows the patients to receive the best possible care and medical opinions from expert practitioners across the globe.
The release of 3Dicom Mobile is a key milestone for Singular Health. The ability for patients and practitioners to collaborate with their medical imaging in such a way that can be easily understood and annotated, comes on the back of our recent release of MFTP which provides the ability to quickly and securely transfer the actual DICOM from practitioner-to-practitioner and practitioners-to-patients. I'm very proud of our developers' ability to deliver complex concepts that provide better patient outcomes.
Singular Health Chief Technology Officer Thomas Morrell
The company's medical imagining software was born out of Singular's original cutting edge MedVR software which was developed several years ago. MedVR allowed surgeons and medical professionals to create fly through, three dimensional models based on various different types of two-dimensional scans including magnetic resonance imaging, or "MRIs" and computerised tomography, or "CT" scans which is a form of targeted x-ray.
Singular's new 3Dicom app, and before that the company's Medical File Transfer Protocol, or "MFTP" extend the evolutionary process of the technology, with this latest update now providing the entire chain of end-users secure access to patient files across the internet and in the cloud.
The company's decision to move its software to a predominantly online platform seems to be a well-timed response to a recent US survey which found that more than 85 per cent of patients wanted to be able to see and understand their radiological imagery. The Singular 3Dicom app not only satisfies that demand, but also offers patients the option to upgrade the software's functionality by subscribing to either the 3Dicom Pro or Surgical versions of the app.
With Singular having now delivered its first fully integrated online version of its 3Dicom viewer, the company has now laid the foundations for its "Scan to Surgery" program and with it, a growing presence in the highly specialised medical imaging space.

As I was following a lead for another article, I found that there is such a mystery about this building in the back of the east campus. It isn't a maintenance building and strange animal-like noises can be heard coming from the area.
When I tried to investigate just what is going on in this "building" I searched the new Century website but all I found was a 404 error message. There seemed to be forces at work here that don't want the contents of what is behind those darken doors out.
"Ain't nothing here but us Chickens!
What are the strange animal noises that can be heard in the parking lot? Is Big Foot taking classes or this this the birthplace of our own "Woody the Wood duck" who we all have believed was just a student life member in a large costume. This investigative reporter is going to find out just that.
When I walked into the doors, I was greeted with an eerie silence and a strong smell that is purely animal. What came to investigate this new disturbance was an orange tabby who gave me a look of curiosity and annoyance. Clearly the leader of this department, he rubbed up against my legs, begging for some attention. Since it seemed I had to get his approval for further passage, I bilged.
Even though it's during the day I felt as I had walked into a haunted house of some kind. I heard loud noises coming from the back room that sent chills down my spine. A sudden yell, from what I assumed to be an animal, letting me know that I was not alone. I walked towards the back room from where the noises continued to call to me.
I entered into large room of several cages and found the source of the disturbance. Along with right wall of the room is lined with cages of bunnies and chinchillas. The left side of the room has two large cages, the far cage has several goats and filled with hay. The front cage as my new noisy friends, a few roosters and 2 very vocal geese.
I felt more at ease now that I knew the source of the strange yelling but I still found myself ducking behind a large animal cage just in case something else was a miss.
I wondered back into the hall way to another large room to what appears to be a classroom. Fish tanks lined the back wall, as I started to walk into the room and green ball began rolling quickly towards me. I jumped back but finally realized that there is some kind of rodent inside the ball. A logical explanation for the ball rolling across the room but not any less creepy.
As I made my way into what was the last and final room, the temperature was rising at least 80 degrees. The largest room of the annex, a greenhouse with floor to ceiling glass windows filled with plants and two large, blue kiddie pools on the floor with swimming turtles in each one.
The far section of the room on the left had two large walk-in bird cages. The first one has curious cockatoos gave me look of wonderment, as if to ask, "why are you here?" The second cage had a large colorful parrot and that it's repeated welcomed me by saying "Hi". He let me pet his belly but had eyes in the back of his head and refused to let me bring my hand any closer. "That's ok", I said out loud, "we don't have to be friends right away".
The right side of the room had another large enclosure with some very large lizards inside. Beside it was several glass aquariums some had very large snakes others had bearded dragons.
Breaded Dragon giving his good side.
Through my extensive search through the mystery annex building, I didn't find Big Foot but what I did find is that this Animal Science class offered to 916 students from local high schools gives an introduction to students looking to go into many animal related fields.
Students learn about how to care for companion animals and their health, anatomy and physiology. Members of the classes learn about the handling and grooming procedures, sanitization, disease identification and prevention along with basic pet first aid and certification.

The need to provide assistance to Brave Soldiers fighting against the LTTE Terrorists has never been demanding. With the recent Military operations in the North to liberate the areas held by the LTTE the number of casualties increased. Therefore, we thought of putting some extra energy towards a mission to help those who have helped us live today by getting together and providing assistance to the disabled young men in the Sri Lankan Army. We have been in direct contact with the Director of the Sri Lankan Army Rehabilitation Unit, Brigadier Dr (Mrs) Sriyani Warusawitharana to identify necessary requirements of these Brave young Men. Directorate has identified, especially made Socket Gel Liners for the use of amputees.
The importance of these socks are immense as they are not available to purchase in Sri Lanka and will be very expensive to purchase from abroad or in Sri Lanka if available. Brig Warusawitharana mentioned that 40 Gel Socks would be sufficient to provide to 1% of the amputees as a start. According to her and as seen by one of us these amputees wear locally made Cotton Sock, which is not ideal for those having a poor stump. We have witnessed how they presently wear the prosthetic limbs without these Gel Socks. Some have been wearing 5 or 6 Cotton Socks to minimise the suffering.
Socket Gel Liner is an especially made Sock with a Mineral Gel Liner layered throughout and sandwiched with two especial fabric layers. Gel Sock help reduces the pressure and pain on the stump when wearing a prosthetic limb. The gel liner provides extra cushion and protects the skin been damaged by the artificial limb. These socks are widely used among Below Knee amputees. They come in different variations, i.e. Single Layer, Double Layer, Ultra Cushion comes with either Cotton Fabric or CoolMax Fabric and in different sizes.
We came up with a quick name "Ranaviru Fund" to be organised as a Group in providing assistance to these young soldiers. Initial meeting was held at the Scotland's Buddhist Vihara in Glasgow, Scotland on the 03rd of May preceded by a Ranaviru Adhishtana Pooja (War Hero Memorial Ceremony). Respons for our call for assistance was very high and everyone participated expressed their willingness to support this good cause.
Initial estimate was to provide 40 Gel Socks at a cost of £35 each (based on internet prices), therefore the target collection was £1,400. We initiated funds collection from 05th May and it was a success. We received £90 from two donors on the first day and then the fund started to grow better & faster than we expected. We have received funds from the donors living in the UK, USA & Sri Lanka ranging from £3 to £250. No matter how small the contributions were, we greatly value your intention to support a great cause. The message you gave "We Care" for those who paid a supreme price is invaluable.
Invoices for the purchase of Gel Liners and other donated items are available along with the acknowledgement from 'Ranaviru Sevana' in the enclosed document. Please click on the image below to open the document.
We have compiled a Project Report number of key information associated with this project, including the list of donors and donations received. Please click on the image below to open the document.

French connections abound on this recording of flute and piano compositions written between 1913 and 1959. This period of less than fifty years illuminates the inspired collaborations of many of the flute world's most prestigious teachers, performers and composers of the Paris Conservatoire, illustrating a mutually rich symbiosis of French artists. Like most heritages, it may be difficult to see where one influence ends and the next begins, yet the flute remains the happy recipient of a rich and satisfying repertoire resulting from this complicated family tree of composers and artist-teachers. Featuring works for flute and piano by Bonis, Camus, Dubois, Gaubert, Koechlin, Rhene-Baton, and Roussel.


Brewer's yeast is very important in the making of beer. Additionally, it can be used in keeping blood sugar levels normal. However, not every brewing yeast company in the industry should be bought from, the reason it is critical researching the available suppliers. The below article explains guidelines for selecting the best yeast brewing company.
Consider the experience. When in need of brewing yeast, it is important to work with experts. It is thus essential to buy brewing yeast from a company that has existed for long. If a brewing yeast company has existed for long, it has evaluated various methods of brewing yeast manufacturing hence understands how to produce good yeast. Moreover, it has invested in recent technologies to make and ship yeast. You are thus sure of getting brewing yeast that flocculates at the right time hence resulting in good tasting and smelling beer. Moreover, the yeast that gets to your brewery can live as well as develop.
Ensure you are keen on the reputation. When buying brewing yeast, reputation is something you need to take seriously since you need clean, viable and healthy yeast. A brewing yeast company with a name to care for supplies yeast that has not stayed for much time. Moreover, the storage conditions of its yeast are suitable and this guarantees it ferments the best way possible. Moreover, they offer yeast with no undesired compounds to ensure your beer is safe. Ask the individuals buying brewing yeast and read reviews to determine which company is regarded.
You should consider compliance with the law. Authorities are committed to ensuring that their people only take quality beers thus regulate the operations of brewing yeast companies. Before they give licenses, authorities strictly check the qualifications of those in need to join the industry. Brewing yeast companies with licenses thoroughly test their brewing yeast to be sure they align with the strong quality standards authorities need. Ask the company for its license number or check on its website then confirm it is up-to-date with the authorities.
