Men's tennis team gets important wins
Mackenzie Knoop|April 24, 2015
Saturday, April 11, Trinity men's tennis played local DI team University of Texas at San Antonio.
UTSA started the match winning all three doubles points as they were using DI regulation for the overall scoring. No. 1 doubles Jordan Mayer and Aaron Skinner lost 8-3 while No. 2 doubles Adam Krull and Alvaro Hobbs lost 8-2. No. 3 doubles finished with Chas Mayer and Charlie Curtis losing 8-5.
"It's always a lot of fun to go out there and play a D1 school because we always feel that we can be extremely competitive," Mayer said. "While we struggled in dubs, we had a couple of guys go three sets in singles and that's a positive takeaway when you're playing teams of that caliber."
The Tigers came back with a fight in singles. Mayer lost a tight match at 10-8 in a third set at No. 2 singles while fellow senior Charlie Curtis lost in a close three-set match at No. 4 single 10-7 in the third. The lone win came from sophomore Chas Mayer who finished the match 6-1, 6-2.
"Last weekend was a tough matchup. UTSA is a good program and it was really just nice to get back out and compete against a high level," said head coach Russell McMindes. "The biggest takeaway is that we still have room for improvement to reach our end-of-the-season goals."
With only four matches left in the season, the men's team headed to North Texas last weekend, going 3-0 with a cancellation in the last match due to weather.
"I'm looking for them to get some strong results and get the confidence and momentum headed in the right direction," McMindes said regarding the end of the season and conference.
Right now the Tigers are ranked No. 7 in the country and will attempt to defend their conference title April 24-26 in Georgetown, Texas.
"We are looking forward to getting a lot of matches in and having the opportunity to play a variety of teams. Right now the goal is for us to play the right way which means playing effectively," C. Mayer said. "Naturally we want to come out of Georgetown with the conference title so that's what we need to work for in practice this week."

Open Dialogue FoundationNewsDCK leader Mukhtar Ablyazov receives political asylum in France
DCK leader Mukhtar Ablyazov receives political asylum in France
5 October 2020 | Author: Bartosz Kramek
Long history of political prosecutionThe Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan movementThe prosecution and justice system in KazakhstanProsecution of Ablyazov's associatesKazakhstan's interference in Britain and FranceNeed for personal sanctions
We are pleased to inform you that on 29 September 2020, the National Asylum Court of France delivered a historical decision granting refugee status to Kazakhstani opposition leader Mukhtar Ablyazov.
In its ruling, the Court recognised the existence of well-founded threats of persecution for political reasons and annulled the decision of the Director-General of the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) of May 31, 2018, which rejected his request for asylum.
ODF warmly welcomes this landmark decision and shares the findings of the jury, which carefully assessed the abusive and arbitrary modus operandi of the Kazakhstani regime towards Ablyazov and its political opponents in general: "(…) there are serious reasons to believe that the civil and criminal proceedings brought against Mr. ABLYAZOV under cover of the action of the BTA in Kazakhstan or in other foreign jurisdictions are in fact motivated by political aim."
Long history of political prosecution
The ruling also made reference to Ablyazov's business career and long history of political prosecution by the hands of Nazarbayev – the de facto ruler of the country – as well as INTERPOL's 2017 decision to remove him from the Red Notice list and the Council of State's 2016 refusal to extradite Ablyazov to the Russian Federation and Ukraine from France (upon the request of the Kazakhstani authorities): "The [Kazakhstani] ruling elites are guided by rent seeking through the ownership, control and distribution of enterprises and economic resources. In such post-Soviet economies, hostile takeovers (reiderstvo) of a business by non-commercial means are common, including forced bankruptcy, tax investigations, actual threats or criminal prosecutions, or the use of violence, especially when this company provides financial support to opposition political parties or activities."
"Finally, there are very worrying indications of the risk of persecution, the unsuccessful attempts to extradite the person concerned to Ukraine and the Russian Federation presented to the French authorities, as well as the dissemination of an international arrest warrant and red notices to Interpol. These procedures, which were based on prosecutions brought on charges of financial embezzlement in the management of the BTA bank, have in fact turned out to be indirect maneuvers by the Kazakh authorities whose real political goal has finally been established in two parallel, reliable and independent procedures: On the one hand, by the Council of State in its decision of December 9, 2016 and, on the other hand, by Interpol in its decision of July 13, 2017. In this latter decision, Interpol found that it was established that, despite the common law character of the prosecutions founding the red notices relating to the applicant in the BTA affair, the motive of the Kazakh authorities presented a predominant political dimension".
"Thus, according to Interpol, the criminal proceedings initiated in Kazakhstan in 2009 in the context of the BTA affair are based on a political motive. Consequently, all of the facts and accusations imputed to Mr. ABLYAZOV concerning alleged massive fraud committed to the prejudice of the BTA bank come from or are based on criminal proceedings opened in Kazakhstan or in the Russian Federation, the political motive of which was established in France by the Council of State and by Interpol and therefore emanate from the agent of persecution".
аааа
The Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan movement
Mukhtar Ablyazov has been one of the most critical voices of Nazarbayev's regime and is the founder of the "Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan" (DCK) peaceful opposition movement. The movement was first founded in 2001 and reestablished by Ablyazov in 2017: "(…) the political engagement of Mr. ABLYAZOV is still relevant and that his movement is prohibited in Kazakhstan"
"Mr. ABLYAZOV is a political opponent to the Kazakhstani regime currently in power. (…) he has already been the subject of persecution and threats of persecution for the same political reason by the authorities in power in his country and that he may well fear being persecuted again in the even of his return to Kazakhstan."
"(…) his sentence in 2002 to six years in prison for "abuse of power, embezzlement and tax evasion" followed by his pardon decided by President N. Nazarbayev, after one year of imprisonment and ill-treatment, present all the characteristics of a common law conviction for political motive, a very widespread and practical mode of persecution against political opponents in the republics of the former Soviet Union."
The prosecution and justice system in Kazakhstan
The court has also noted the systemic pathologies related to the functioning of the justice system in Kazakhstan: "The available public documentation makes it possible to establish that the Kazakhstani judicial and repressive apparatus is an instrument in the hands of power. Thus, the report of the American State Department on the situation of human rights in Kazakhstan in 2013, not denied by more recent sources, notes that prosecutors almost play a role of judge and that corruption is manifest at all stages of legal proceedings". (…) Judges are subject to political pressure there and the entire judiciary is affected by corruption."
"Arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial detentions and the torture of opponents in prison are in fact methods commonly practised by the Kazakh authorities."
In March 2018, a Kazakhstani court banned the DCK and declared it "an extremist organisation". Since then, thousands of supporters of the DCK have faced persecution and imprisonment; in the worst case the authorities' fight against "extremism" resulted in the tragic death of a DCK activist, Dulat Agadil, murdered in police custody in February 2020.
In the last decade, we have documented at least 7,500 cases of politically motivated imprisonment and persecution in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Among these were opposition leaders, independent journalists, civil society activists and social media users who simply expressed support to the DCK manifesto, as well as Ablyazov's associates and relatives who fell victim to Nazarbayev's personal enmity against him.
Prosecution of Ablyazov's associates
Moreover, the court mentioned other high-profile cases of political prosecution that we had advocated for, all linked to Ablyazov's legitimate opposition work. These included, amongst others:
Iskander Yerimbetov, a recently-released political prisoner and brother of Bota Jardemalie, one of Ablyazov's lawyers and a political refugee in Belgium;
Alexander Pavlov, Ablyazov's former security chief, granted asylum in Spain in 2015;
Alma Shalabayeva, Ablyazov's wife, illegally deported with a 6-year old daughter from Italy in 2013. At least 10 democratic countries, including the multiple EU Member States, the US and Canada, have so far granted international protection to Ablyazov's family and former associates.
In the context of the BTA lawsuit and Ablyazov's alleged murder of a former BTA associate, the court also highlighted the political aim behind the civil and criminal proceedings brought against Ablyazov in Kazakhstan as well as in the UK, finding no credibility to both the fraud and the homicide allegations: "(…) neither the elements presented to the asylum judge nor the investigation do not, at the date of this decision, establish that there are serious reasons to believe that Mr. ABLYAZOV has committed in Kazakhstan financial crimes, massive fraud, breach of trust or embezzlement."
"(…) in the light of these fundamental principles, the documents in the extradition file available to the Court do not make it possible to establish the credibility of the conditions under which a person definitively convicted on September 3, 2007 for the manslaughter of a third party could then ten years later to self-incriminate the murder of this same third party and to designate accomplices. It also emerges from the investigation that this self-incriminating testimony from Mr. Tokmadi was obtained when the person concerned had been arrested for other criminal acts unrelated to the case of the homicide of Mr. Tatishev."
Kazakhstan's interference in Britain and France
It also stressed the unlawful, extrajudicial attempts by Kazakhstani authorities to interfere with the British and French judiciary as well as extrajudicial means aimed at targeting Mukhtar Ablyazov: (…) it is established that in January 2011, the British authorities informed him of the existence of threats to his safety and their inability to protect him. While the origin of these threats is not specified by the British authorities, there are serious reasons to believe that they came from Kazakhstan.
"(…) there are also precise, serious and consistent elements which highlight the clear attempts by external agents to exert influence on the asylum authorities and to get them to make decisions unfavorable to Mr. ABLYAZOV"
"This Court of Law also deplores overt attempts by third parties to influence the meaning of its decision".
Need for personal sanctions
Kazakhstani civil society has won one more victory against Nazarbayev's inhumane dictatorship. However, as stressed by the court, Kazakhstan's "misuse of the criminal law and of the fundamental instruments of international criminal cooperation for a mainly political purpose constitutes a serious attack on the principle of mutual trust which is at the very heart of cooperation between States to fight against impunity and constitutes a form of persecution against the person who is a victim of such manoeuvres. This serious attack establishes that Kazakhstan is ready to divert powerful legal means, including in its international relations, in order to suppress a political opponent."
"(…) The fact that the European Union has concluded a partnership and enhanced cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan enters into force on March 1, 2020, which contains in particular a section devoted to judicial cooperation, does not in itself call into question the foregoing observations on the proof of the political motive of the proceedings instituted against the applicant by Kazakhstan in the BTA case."
Therefore, we believe that democratic states should immediately adopt and impose personal sanctions against those Kazakhstani officials responsible for gross human rights violations at home as well as abuse of international cooperation mechanisms. Still, within the country, the authorities keep prosecuting civil activists peacefully supporting the DCK and enjoying complete impunity.
"This use of the law as a weapon against opposition leaders has long been (…) the preferred mode of operation of the Kazakhstani regime, in order to maintain a semblance of legality and lessen criticism from the international community." indicates the court quoting Professor David Lewis, an internationally recognized expert on civil society and Asian countries.

Altered interaction between CD200 and CD200R represents an example of "checkpoint blockade" disrupting an effective, tumor-directed, host response in murine breast cancer cells. In CD200R1KO mice, long-term cure of EMT6 breast cancer, including metastatic spread to lung and liver, was achieved in BALB/c mice. The reverse was observed with 4THM tumors, an aggressive, inflammatory breast cancer, with increased tumor metastasis in CD200R1KO.
Researchers from Toronto General Hospital explored possible explanations for this difference. They measured the frequency of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood of tumor bearers, as well as lung/liver and draining lymph nodes. In some cases mice received infusions of exosomes from nontumor controls, or tumor bearers, with/without additional infusions of anticytokine antibodies. The measured frequency of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood was equivalent in the two models in WT and CD200R1KO mice. Increased metastasis in EMT6 tumor bearers was seen in vivo following adoptive transfer of serum, or serum-derived exosomes, from 4THM tumor bearers, an effect which was attenuated by anti-IL-6, and anti-IL-17, but not anti-TNFα, antibody. Anti-IL-6 also attenuated enhanced migration of EMT6 cells in vitro induced by 4THM serum or exosomes, or recombinant IL-6. Exosome cytokine proteomic profiles responses in 4THM and EMT6 tumor-bearing mice were regulated by CD200:CD200R interactions, with attenuation of both IL-6 and IL-17 in 4THM CD200tg mice, and enhanced levels in 4THM CD200R1KO mice.
Effect of serum or exosomes (equivalent to 5% serum concentration in vitro) from wild-type (WT) or 4THM mice, or recombinant cytokines (IL-6/IL-17: 5 ng/mL) on migration of 4THM (A) or EMT6 (B) tumor cells in Boyden chambers over 18 h. Cells (2 × 105) were included in the upper chamber only (an 8-μm pore size filter was used). At 18 h, cells were detached from the lower surface of the filter, concentrated by centrifugation, and counted. Data show mean ± SD for triplicate samples. Data along the abscissa show the culture conditions used in the lower chamber. In some cultures, anti-IL-6/anti-IL-17 antibodies (10 μg/mL) were also included in the lower chamber. *P < 0.05 compared with cells migrating in medium only; δP < 0.05 compared with equivalent cultures without anti-IL-6.
The researchers suggest these cytokines act on the microenvironment at sites within the host, and/or directly on tumor cells themselves, to increase metastatic potential.

Literary Friday: The Fire By Night
About The Fire By Night
• Hardcover: 320 pages
• Publisher: William Morrow (January 17, 2017)
A powerful and evocative debut novel about two American military nurses during World War II that illuminates the unsung heroism of women who risked their lives in the fight—a riveting saga of friendship, valor, sacrifice, and survival combining the grit and selflessness of Band of Brothers with the emotional resonance of The Nightingale.
In war-torn France, Jo McMahon, an Italian-Irish girl from the tenements of Brooklyn, tends to six seriously wounded soldiers in a makeshift medical unit. Enemy bombs have destroyed her hospital convoy, and now Jo singlehandedly struggles to keep her patients and herself alive in a cramped and freezing tent close to German troops. There is a growing tenderness between her and one of her patients, a Scottish officer, but Jo's heart is seared by the pain of all she has lost and seen. Nearing her breaking point, she fights to hold on to joyful memories of the past, to the times she shared with her best friend, Kay, whom she met in nursing school.
Half a world away in the Pacific, Kay is trapped in a squalid Japanese POW camp in Manila, one of thousands of Allied men, women, and children whose fates rest in the hands of a sadistic enemy. Far from the familiar safety of the small Pennsylvania coal town of her childhood, Kay clings to memories of her happy days posted in Hawaii, and the handsome flyer who swept her off her feet in the weeks before Pearl Harbor. Surrounded by cruelty and death, Kay battles to maintain her sanity and save lives as best she can . . . and live to see her beloved friend Jo once more.
When the conflict at last comes to an end, Jo and Kay discover that to achieve their own peace, they must find their place—and the hope of love—in a world that's forever changed. With rich, superbly researched detail, Teresa Messineo's thrilling novel brings to life the pain and uncertainty of war and the sustaining power of love and friendship, and illuminates the lives of the women who risked everything to save others during a horrifying time.

My Reivew:
Wow, this book is a page-turner! Two women who are very unlikely friends bond while in nursing school in New York City. Their friendship becomes unbreakable when they join forces to defeat a lecherous doctor. Once war breaks out in Europe, they are trained to become army nurses. Kay travels to the Pacific and is soon right in the middle of the Pacific Theater before becoming a prisoner of war in a Japanese camp. Jo begins her service in the Mediterranean/North African Theater before she's transferred to the western front of the European Theater. Teresa Messineo's extensive research is evident: Her descriptions of the nurses' lives and service are extensive and colorful. I was particularly impressed with the mundane details of life in a surgical tent and the descriptions of the various wounds and surgeries these women treated and endured. This book is not for the squeamish. Honestly Messineo's detail rivals that of Diana Gabaldon in her Outander series. Her fearless descriptions of wounds and the squalid conditions in POW camps might be a little tedious to some readers, but I appreciate them.
I think that Jo's character is a bit more developed than Kay's, and I enjoyed Jo's story more. Both are brave and strong, and their faith and friendship sustains them during their darkest hours. I wish more of their correspondence before, during, and after the war had been shared in the novel (one of my few criticisms of the book). If you enjoy World War II historical fiction and stories about empowered women, then you will love The Fire By Night. It isn't that long, but you might find yourself rereading some of the sections when the nurses aren't lucid due to fever or starvation. This book would make a great book club selection, and I plan to recommend it to mine.
Disclosure: I received an advanced reader's copy of The Fire By Night from the publisher via TLC Book Tours in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Mechanical Xylofun Music Machine is the coolest way to learn about notes, tunes and music for your child. This DIY kit contains all the elements to assemble a super-fun music composing machine.
Once assembled, children can use the permutations and combinations of peg-holes and notes to compose music of their own. All they have to do is place pegs in the holes corresponding to the note, and when the music drum rolls, the particular peg hits the note-plate, creating that particular note. By arranging and rearranging the pegs combinations, children can have hours of fun composing new music.


'Gentlemen' may have been something of a stretch. The 'gentlemen' were busy lounging back in chairs of smooth oak, most likely pilfered from an unsuspecting monastery. One was trimming his nails with a wicked-looking stylet, and another was occupied with the two women sitting on his lap, thier shifts torn, faces smudged with cheap makeup. The rest of the captains looked like they would be hard pressed to tell you what a 'bath' was, much less have taken one.
"Gentlemen of the Court. I don't claim to be a scholar, a prophet, or a priest. But I can tell you this much, and on this we can all agree - life is $%$%."
This remark elicited the immediate attention of every man in the room. A cheer went up among the pirate captains, and Reynaud struggled to stifle a grin. There are certain ways to catch a pirate's interest, and blatant profanity is among them. Rogues, thugs, thieves, swashbucklers, cutpurses and cutthroats all pounded on the table, shouting in loud agreement. "Hear, hear!"
"...and we live in an age of slavery. We are prisoners to old laws, to primitive ways of thinking. The governments of France, Spain, and Britain are all run by men whose claim to power is purely hereditary, and whose knowledge of leadership is limited to the dining hall and the bedchamber. You've met them. I've met them. The Brethren Court may claim to be independant, but we all feel the wieght of royal rule. Remember where you came from! You, Semeur..."
Reynaud's hand shot out towards an imposing figure huddled in a corner.
"...an orphan. Born and raised in the streets of Port Royale. Your sister sold herself to make ends meet, while the governor feasted..."
Kield Semeur's eyes darkened at his, hands clenching into tight fists. But he could remember the older days, the darker days. His anger faded, and he gave a soft nod.
"...why? Because of an outdated system which lets power go to wealthy, highborn pigs. But what about them men on the streets? The laborers, the sailors, the tradesmen and the slaves - who will tell thier story?"
A low murmur rose from the tables as captains and mercenaries pondered this. They were outcasts, born on the fringes of society. They knew hardship better than any.
"Men call you criminals, they call you bandits. They mark me down as an outlaw. But do we have any other choice? When the laws are unjust, the only thing left to do is to break them. Sometimes we must, if we are to survive. The world grows smaller by the day, gentlemen. And with each passing month, the nations grow stronger. Britain. France. Spain. They will never be satisfied until they sit astride the world, never resting until they rule the Carribean. And can we let them? Will we let them?"
The crowd began to cheer in approval, but were quickly silenced byb a tall and imposing buccaneer. He rose to his feet and moved to the center of the council chamber, his step slow and predatorial. His voice was smooth, cold - and it carried a frightening authority.
"Clever words, Langford. But are we to believe them? The Brethren Court has survived this long without dabbling in diplomacy. We're opportunists, not idealists. And you swagger in, proposing that we unite under a cause that will ultimately fail? We're powerful, yes, but not strong enough to conquer the Americas, much less change the way the world thinks. Corruption is a way of life. The Court isn't a tool, to be used to further your own ends. What makes you think I'll listen to a prick with a grandiose notion of 'right' and 'wrong'? What makes you think I won't kill you, here and now?
A hand reached into a holster and emerged, holding a heavy pistol. Reynaud winced as he felt the cold iron pressed against his neck. Kidd yanked harshly on his hair, forcing his head back. Reynaud didn't move, didn't flinch. His face remained blank and stoic, his voice level and calm.
"What do you think, Kidd? Pull a trigger, end a life. But don't turn away; stare into my eyes and tell yourself that you'd rather see me dead." He met the captain's gaze, his eyes burning. "...you're hesitating. Why?"
The pistol was lowered silently, and Kidd's air of command seemed to falter. Reynaud turned once more to adress the court.
"If anyone else has doubts about my intentions. Let them stand. You have an open target."
The room was dead silent, save for the rustling of cloth as the pirates shifted uneasily. This man was different. Something in the way he moved, the way he spoke, the fire in his eyes. It was dangerous. Unnatural. Unnerving.
"...the offer still stands, gentlemen. But now is not the time for bickering. The time has come for chance, good captains. To act, to-"
"Cut the shite, Langford. What do you propose?"
"My proposition? Simple. Revolution. A new world, founded on freedom. Justice. Governed by the people, and for the people. A haven for the convict, the sick, the hungry-"
"...and then what? You'll kiss babies? We aren't your personal angels, Langford. We're brigands. We have our own intrests-"
"No, not brigands. You're men who aren't afraid to act. To get your hands dirty, to fight for what you believe in. And you believe in freedom, am I right? The freedom to act, the freedom to speak, the freedom to think!"
The room erupted into noise. Cheering, jeers, murmured conversation. Kidd, the impromptu leader of the Court, called the room to order.
"I ask you again, Langford. What do you want of us?"
"Help. Men, guns, and ships."
"And why should we help you?"
"Because you know the value of freedom more than any. And if we don't unite to stand against those who threaten it, then it's only a matter of time before we, too, become servants. Lackeys."
"And if we were to consent, what would you do?"
The room fell into an awkward silence. A heated tension filled the air. All eyes were on Langford, and he could feel a thin trickle of sweat run down his forehead. His words, here and now, would determine the success or failure of his dream.
"Change the world, Captain Kidd. Change the world."

Legislature votes to expand tax exemptions
Posted Thursday, September 15, 2022 12:00 am
On Sept. 7, the Nassau County Legislature's minority leader, Democrat Kevan Abrahams, urged his Republican colleagues in the majority to expand the income caps for senior citizens and the disabled that would allow them to be exempt from a percentage of their property tax assessments. Later that day, the Legislature voted to approve the increased income caps, allowing more seniors and disabled individuals to be exempt.
Malllory Wilson/Herald
Nassau County is one of the highest-taxing counties in the nation, and we thought this would be the perfect time to be able to provide relief."
Kevan Abrahams Minority leader, County Legislature
New tax exemption income limits
Under the new legislation, property tax exemptions for disabled individuals and senior citizens would be:
- 50 percent of property value, for incomes up to and including $50,000
- 45 percent for incomes between $50,000 and $51,000
- 30 percent for incomes between $53,00 and $53, 900
- 5 percent for incomes between $57,500 and $58,400
By Mallory Wilson
After a vote in the County Legislature, Nassau seniors and disabled people who earn up to $58,400 can expect to be exempt from at least 5 percent of their property tax assessments. Those who earn less, a maximum of $50,000 annually, can anticipate being 50 percent exempt.
The unanimous vote, on Sept. 7, raised the income cap from $34,000 to $58,400 for the lowest percentage of exemption, and from $20,000 to $50,000 for the 50 percent exemption.
A spokesman for County Executive Bruce Blakeman said he would sign the bill.
The change in the law came after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed state legislation on Aug. 8 authorizing counties like Nassau to opt into the new, higher-income eligibility levels. The county legislation would give Nassau County the same income caps as New York City.
There are two bills that allow the exemptions, one for those who are disabled and earn up to $58,400, and one for seniors who meet the income requirements.
At a news conference on Sept. 7, the Legislature's minority leader, Democrat Kevan Abrahams, urged his Republican colleagues to expand the income caps, saying that the legislation was more important than ever, with people still struggling and still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. "Nassau County is one of the highest-taxing counties in the nation," Abrahams said. "And we thought this would be the perfect time to be able to provide relief."
Later that day, during a legislative meeting, the two pieces of legislation got the votes they needed.
Under the current income requirements, 9,000 households are benefiting from exemptions, according to Abrahams, who added that that number could double once the new income caps are put in place.
According to Tax-Rates.org, the median property tax bill in Nassau County is $8,711 per year, for a home with the county's median value of $487,900. Nassau collects, on average, 1.79 percent of a property's assessed fair market value as property tax.
The website also states that the average yearly property tax paid by Nassau residents is just over 8 percent of their annual income.
Both Republicans and Democrats in the state legislature voted for the new income eligibility, Democratic Sen. Kevin Thomas said at the news conference. "This is something that both sides agree on," he said. "Failing to adopt these measures in Nassau County will leave vulnerable residents without the crucial relief they are entitled to and deserve."
Republican County Legislator Tom McKevitt said it was only fair that Nassau seniors and those with disabilities get the same relief as those in New York City. "We found that especially with the cost of living in Nassau County, especially with higher property taxes in Nassau as compared to New York City, " McKevitt said, "it would only be fair if there was equity between the taxpayers in Nassau and those in New York City. Especially for those seniors trying to get relief in order to keep their homes."
McKevitt said that he had some constituents who benefited from the maximum exemptions.
"I am proud to sign these bills to put money back in the pockets of New York homeowners and help seniors and families stay in their homes," Hochul said in a statement on Aug. 8. "With inflation and rising costs putting a strain on families nationwide, this legislation will help to ensure that New Yorkers — from seniors to first-time homebuyers — get some much-needed relief. I thank the bill sponsors for getting this legislation over the finish line, and for their partnership in our mission to keep New York affordable."

CrypViser: Secure Communications and the New State-Sponsored Hacking Law
Last Thursday, the German parliament voted into law a bill that would allow the police and other government entities to hack into encrypted messaging services like Signal and WhatsApp during certain criminal investigations. The new law gives authorities broad access to users' private communications, prompting increased concern over privacy issues.
[Note: This is a sponsored article.]
Under previous legislation, investigators could tap into a suspect's SMS communications and regular phone conversations, providing that the alleged crime was severe enough. However, they were barred from surveilling communications sent through encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp, Signal, and Threema.
The new legislation allows investigators to use spyware – a "state trojan" – to monitor and intercept user communications in real-time before they are encrypted on the user's device. Beyond real-time surveillance, however, the law also allows for remote searches of suspects' devices in "particularly severe cases". This includes not just messages but also images, videos, and other data.
Germany's Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maizière was quoted by Rheinische Post, saying:
We often see that criminals communicate using encrypted ways […] Encryption protects the right to private communication. But it is not a carte blanche for criminals.
The government insists that the new law will make it easier to combat terrorism, however, the law goes beyond terrorism-related crimes to include tax evasion and sports betting.
CrypViser: Secure Communication in an Insecure World
Based in Dusseldorf, Germany, CrypViser is leveraging the transparent and decentralized nature of the blockchain to build a secure communications network that can be used by individuals and businesses alike. The network is fully encrypted, relying on an authentication model where users identify themselves and confirm each other's identities through a series of blockchain transactions.
The network combines reliable, cutting-edge cryptographic protocols that have been approved at military levels by international and EU standards with blockchain based public-key authentication to create a communications platform designed to prevent identity theft as well as "man in the middle" (MiTM) attacks. In addition, the platform employs an intelligent intrusion detection system that detects and prevents the most dangerous interception attempts.
How Does CrypViser Thwart "State Trojans"?
At its most basic, a trojan a type of malware or spyware that is often disguised as legitimate software. Once installed on a person's computer, tablet, or smartphone, the hacker can access the victim's device remotely and, as is the case under Germany's new law, monitor and intercept user communication as well as searching archived messages, images, videos, and other private data.
Bitcoinist spoke briefly with CrypViser founder and CEO / CTO Vadim Andryan to gain a better understanding of the platform's security protocols and how it would be able to withstand intrusion attempts like those that the German government can now legally employ.
Andryan explains:
Although we do not have yet a detailed tech specification or algorithms how the "trojan" works, in Crypviser's cryptographic and security models we have implemented disruptive and innovative encryption and authentication technologies to prevent and recognize all kind of "Man in the Middle" (MiTM attacks) and provide professional data protection on all levels, including local level (on user device), network and server side (service provider).
In other words, any attempts of malware software, including the "State Trojan", to intercept users data before they are encrypted on their devices will be immediately eliminated by Crypviser using a decentralized model of encryption key distribution through Blockchain and new kind of client-server authorization powered by CrypID.
What is CrypID and How Does it Keep Data Safe?
CrypID is a new kind of client-server authorization technology in which each CrypViser user receives a unique cryptographic key generated solely on user's local device and protected by user-related personal details, such as a passphrase, finger movement on screen or fingerprint recognition, depending on the device. Since it is generated based on multiple cryptographic hashes from different sources, and since only the first part of the CrypID is actually being submitted to the server, it maintains the strict anonymity of the user.
The second part of the CrypID is stored on the user's local device. That same part of the CrypID is registered on the Blockchain and associated with the user's authentication public key (open key), which is necessary for data encryption.
CrypID is also used for the session keys generation process during the Crypviser's user authorization on the server. This method of validation on both user and server sides eliminates any possibility of manipulation with the users credential on the provider side.
Working in conjunction with one another, the blockchain and CrypID guarantee and provide genuine authentication of encryption keys so that any attempts by malware, including "state trojans" to attack users' devices and "swap" the encryption keys will be detected by integrated "intelligent intrusion detection" system and timely notice given to the user.
Multiple Layers of Security
To guarantee the security of its users' data, CrypViser employs not one but multiple layers of security. In addition to server-side security protocols, OS-independent encrypted local storage is deployed on the user's local device. Access to the data stored there is protected by a symmetric encryption key that never leaves the local device.
In the event of the physical loss of the local encryption key or malware activity on the user's device, the encryption key is protected by a user-defined password that is provided during the account registration process.
CrypViser's communication platform uses the most advanced, secure, and reliable cryptographic protocols and encryption algorithms, such as the symmetric cipher Salsa20/20. This, in combination with CrypViser's other security measures, eliminates any chance for malicious tools such as Germany's "state trojan" to affect user's data.
CVCoin and the CrypViser ICO
Since CrypViser is blockchain based, transactions are required in order to interact with the platform to authorize and identify users' access to public encryption keys. To facilitate these transactions, CrypViser has developed its own token called CVCoin (CVC). A token crowdsale is currently underway to raise funds for the development and marketing of the CrypViser network.
The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) was launched on May 30, 2017, and will end on June 30, 2017. During this time, investors can purchase CVCoin using BTC, ETH, or USD. A total of 15 million CVCoins will be distributed, along with additional benefits such as free subscriptions, access to special features, free access to the CVPay system, and more.
For more information about CrypViser and the ICO, please visit their official website or click here to download the whitepaper.
Will other countries follow Germany in legalizing the "state-sponsored " hacking of its' citizens private communications? Can CrypViser keep private communications safe from prying government eyes? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

On February 6, 2018 the Henderson City Council voted to approve the sale of 55 acres of city-owned land near the Henderson Executive Airport to the (soon to be) Las Vegas Raiders for their corporate headquarters and practice facility.
Although the team was expected to locate the project somewhere in Southern Nevada, the process was still highly competitive with multiple sites throughout the valley under consideration.
The facility is expected to produce at least 250 jobs and up to $75 million in capital investment over the coming years. Jobs will include sales, marketing, administrative, financial, and other support functions.
In short, this is a huge win not only for the city, but also for the emerging West Henderson market.
West Henderson has long been regarded as one of the next frontiers for substantial investment in the valley. The area's geographical position and its proximity to I-15 make it the closest location in the valley to Southern California's population of more than 20 million people.
The area also features the Henderson Executive Airport, two highly regarded master planned communities (Inspirada and Anthem) and a friendly business environment supported by existing companies such as Levi's and FedEx. Upcoming projects such as Turano Bakery, Sauvage's "The Block" mixed-use development, a new Costco, and continued investments by developers such as Panattoni, Korte, and LaPour will continue to add value and shape the future of West Henderson.
I've been practicing economic development for more than 15 years and there are few other topics that generate as much discussion as the incentivizing of a corporate entity by a state and/or local government.
The decision to offer a public incentive, in this case a reduced land price, is a serious choice that deserves careful consideration. But the opportunity to lure an NFL franchise, one of only 32 in the country, is rare and unique, offering the City of Henderson a chance to advance development in an area that was designated to create a viable and quality employment center as it builds out.
Based on the guidelines outlined in the statute, municipalities have a pathway to offer their city-owned land for purchase at a discounted fee.
The city goes through a rigorous process of identifying the return on investment of projects seeking this benefit. Not only tax dollars are considered, but also how the project could attract increased investment in the community and its role in expediting the area's strategic vision.
Second, cities must be very careful when exercising this ability as some may claim that it artificially impacts the natural flow of commerce by directly competing with the private sector.
Public entities try to avoid situations where their actions can be perceived as picking winners and losers. The Raiders deal however, was very distinct and offered an opportunity for the City of Henderson to recruit a once-in-a-lifetime project with proven effectiveness demonstrated in 31 other communities with NFL franchises throughout the United States. This, along with a stringent due diligence process, gave the city all the significant information needed to feel comfortable invoking such a selectively used local incentive.
If you are interested in continuing to stay informed about all the great things going on throughout our city, I urge to follow us on twitter (@HendersonEcDev) and check our website (www.HendersonMeansBusiness.com). While you're there, please sign up for our quarterly newsletter.

SONDORS CEO Reveals Exact Dates for $6,500 MetaCycle at LA Auto Show
With the conclusion of the L.A. Auto Show this past Sunday, SONDORS has released the exact times that we can expect the MetaCycle to ship…along with a few other updates.
SONDORS's MetaCycle made a huge splash when it became available to the masses; after all, a $5,000 electric machine capable of an 80 mph (130 km/h) top speed and a range of up to 80 miles (130 km)…for that price, it just can't be had…yet, anyways.
The rush of pre-orders came thick and fast, leaving many twiddling their thumbs in long-winded anticipation of their newfound EV machine as shipments were delayed 'more than once'.
This past weekend, company founder and CEO Storm Sondors let loose to a spectator via the above Youtube video that pilot production was to start February 17 of 2023, with "the first 2,000 units…completed by April 6," articulates Electrek.
"The first units will be shipped by end of February, so that's after Chinese New Year, so they're gonna be here (in the US) by late March," says Sondors.
"I tend to tell my team not to share too many details because – remember – the way we run SONDORS, we cater to early adopters first."
"I have a real passion for product and performance….if there's ever delays, it's not because we have a hot moment…it's because I woke up in the middle of the night and I decided that …"I want to change that".
Changes made to the MetaCycle include DOT-approved taillights, as well as a thicker, plush seat and a set of footpegs that come a wee bit further out from the body of the machine.
"The first units off the line will already be shipping out of Asia by the end of February, and shipments will continue to flow on a regular basis as the 2,000 motorcycles are produced over the nearly two-month period," continues Electrek.
On top of the delays, the initial bang-for-buck price that was $5,000 USD has now purportedly risen by a further 30%, with Sondors explaining the second round of orders priced at $6,500 USD being due to the company's policy of "early adopters first" – a policy that caters to those who invest earliest in the company's project.
If you were an early bird, you got the worm.
Be sure to check out the MetaCycle in our first coverage of the machine, as well as other news coming down from this year's EICMA – and as ever, stay safe on the twisties.
$6500 Electric MotorcyclesSONDORS MetaCycle
Don't bet on getting anywhere near that 80 mile range at 80 mph with that size battery. I sure would like to see the full specs with real numbers, like actual range at xx mph. I looked at the SONDORS web site and they are not sharing that information. Zero does show real world range at specified speeds on their web pages. SONDERS is setting customers up for disappointment if they withhold range @ speed specs.
I actually agree here – though if the founder is truly tinkering with the bike as much as he says he is, those numbers could be very much in flux right now…
Time will tell – stay tuned, as I'm definitely keeping my eye on any updates here. We have a couple fans of the MetaCycle on our team 🙂
Robert Dryden
BEWARE . I put down $100 deposit months ago. I have tried multiple time to reach customer service by phone and email. I want my deposit back. There is no response by anyone there. I think this is a SCAM.
Karth
They were quick in responding to my emails/questions on updates. Definitely not a scam, but am expecting much much further delays in production.
check your spam folder…
wish they would throw in free gloves or helmet or merch along with the bike when it ships (of course at the very least a tee-shirt)

Q: partial views to get data and then post the results to save in database I am very new to MVC, let me try to explain my scenario in plain simple English:
I have  an strongly typed mvc form/page (Product.cshtml) with a model, say ProductViewModel.
This page has got two search buttons, one to search and bring the items to be added to the Product and other to bring in the location, most probably partial views.
Now, what I want is that these search results work in ajax form without complete post back, and then the results of these searches (items and location) should be posted back using model binding to the form when user clicks on the submit button.
What could be the best way of achieving this functionality?
Immediate responses will be well appreciated.

I thought, its good to share the complete code for clarity:
I have one form(Service1.chtml) that has a partial view to display users(_TestUser a partial view:read only), then another partial view(_PlotServiceRequestData) that should have a field to search the plot and bring back the details lke its owner name and landuser etc.
Then when I click on submit button of the main form, I should be able to read all data(main form) + new data from _PlotServiceRequestData partial view and save all data to database.
I was trying one more option, that is, to use @Ajax.ActionLink on Service1.cshtml to call the _GetPlotDetails method and then store partial view data in TempData, so that it is available to the form when users clicks on "Submit" button of Service1.cshtml, is this a right approach?, if I use ajax.BeginForm inside partial view then the data is posted to the
Service1 controller method which is actually to save the form data and not to update the partialview and in this method even I am not getting model data of the partial view.
Sevice1.cshtml:

@model ViewModels.TestViewModel

@{

    ViewBag.Title =

"Service1";

}

@

using (Html.BeginForm())

{

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Title)

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Title)

    @Html.Partial(

"_TestUser", Model)

        @Html.Partial(

"_PlotServiceRequestData", Model.requestData)

<button type="submit">Save Form</button>

}

@section Scripts {

}

_PlotServiceRequestData.cshtml:

===============================

@model ViewModels.PlotServicesRequestDataViewModel

<

div id="RequestPlotData">

    @

using (Ajax.BeginForm("_GetPlotDetails", "Test", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "RequestPlotData", Url = Url.Action("_GetPlotDetails","Test") }))

    {

        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.plotAddress)

        @Html.EditorFor(m => m.plotAddress)

        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.LandUser)

        @Html.EditorFor(m => m.LandUser)

    }

}

A: You can probably use the jQuery Form plugin for this.  This makes the process of posting the data from your form back to the server very easy.  The form would post to an action that would return a partial view that you can then push into your UI.
To make this easier, jQuery form actually has a "target" option where it will automatically update with the server response (ie. the partial view returned from your search action).
View
<form id="searchForm" action="@(Url.Action("Search"))" method="POST">
    <input name="query" type="text" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Javascript
$('#searchForm').ajaxForm({
 target: '#result'
});

Controller
public ActionResult Search(string query)
{
    // Do something with query
    var model = GetSearchResults(query);

    return Partial("SearchResults", model)
}

This should hopefully help you to get on the right track.  jQuery Form is a good plugin and is the main thing you should look into for ajaxifying your form posts back to the server.  You might also want to look into using jQuery's $.post and $.ajax functions, but these require slightly more work.

Hong Kong teen shot by police was "rioting" - prosecutor
Fri, Oct 04, 2019 - 4:44 PM
The 18-year-old protester shot in the chest by Hong Kong police this week was throwing bricks and "rioting" at the time he was wounded, a prosecutor told a court packed with his supporters on Friday.
University of Hong Kong Student Union Campus TV
[HONG KONG] The 18-year-old protester shot in the chest by Hong Kong police this week was throwing bricks and "rioting" at the time he was wounded, a prosecutor told a court packed with his supporters on Friday.
Tsang Chi-kin, also known as Tony Tsang, who was shot at close range on Tuesday as he fought officers with what appeared to be a white pole, has been charged with rioting, which carries a maximum 10-year sentence, and assaulting a police officer.
The prosecutor said Tsang was more violent than others who have attended recent rallies, which began after the government announced its intention to introduce an extradition law.
The proposed legislation, which would have meant the possibility of people facing trial in mainland courts, has been withdrawn but the protests have evolved into a broad pro-democracy movement.
A judge set bail at HK$5000 (S$880) and banned Tsang, who according to his lawyer is in a hospital intensive care unit in a stable condition, from leaving the country.

BT newsletters
After the hearing, hundreds of supporters, some crying, clapped and chanted "thank you" to the lawyer who represented him. They also opened umbrellas to form a tunnel outside the court to shield the identity of other arrested protesters who appeared in court.
Cecilia Ng, 53, said young people had sacrificed themselves to stop government wrongdoing.
"Yes, they destroy things. But it was completely not necessary to shoot them," she said. "The point is that the government taught us that peaceful protest can never work. Now, the government pushes another evil law. Our city is on edge. Our teenagers are also on edge."
Many of those gathered in the court and outside were wearing masks, in defiance of a government ban on the wearing of face-masks in public - as many protesters do to disguise their identities.
The case was been adjourned until Nov 14.


Could it be an Owl? Perhaps a Great Horned Owl!
WOW…don't you just love nature and being in the right place at the right time to capture those pictures? Nice!
Nice shots – thats a species (more or less) that I can see in Australia.
Cheers Stewart! The Osprey are plentiful and beautiful! Glad you have them in Australia.
Ospreys are a magnificent bird, some good shots!

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker left office Wednesday evening, completing his eight years as the state's top executive official.
But before he left, Baker let 7News into his Swampscott home for an interview with him and his wife, Lauren, before he begins his new job as the president of the NCAA as well as his family role as a grandfather.
The couple talked about why the outgoing governor decided not to run again, what he wants to be remembered for, and whether or not he may run for public office again in the future.
1. One reason he decided not to run again was so he could be more present with his family
Baker said one of the things he and his wife talked about when deciding whether or not he should run for governor again was how being governor was impacting his relationship with his family.
"There were a lot of days I was here, but I really wasn't," he said.
"It's hard for him to be fully present because the phone rings 24 hours a day," Lauren Baker continued. "There's always something going on, and Charlie feels really, really responsible to make things happen."
2. He learned bipartisanship from his parents
Gov. Baker said he learned how to engage with people from both political parties watching his parents as a kid.
"Mom was a Democrat and dad was a Republican," he said. "I learned pretty early on that you can have a conversation and you don't have to agree all the time. Listening is really where growth and opportunity comes from."
3. He wants to be remembered for 'the work'
Baker told 7News that the work he is most proud of doing as governor was helping people battling substance abuse disorders.
On Tuesday, he opened 25 new community behavioral health centers and a free crisis helpline for Bay Staters.
"A lot of what went on in politics was about the noise and not about the work," he said. "I hope one of the things we will be remembered for is setting a tone that was about the work."
4. People love the outgoing first lady
Lauren Baker is known for creating the Wonderfund, a charity that raises money for children involved with the Department of Children and Families, providing them with things like emergency services, everyday essentials, cultural experiences, and holiday gifts.
"For me, it's always been about kids," she said.
"People come up to me all the time and say 'I really like you Governor Baker, but I love your wife,'" Baker said.
5. He's keeping his options open for running for office again
Gov. Baker told 7News he hasn't ruled out running for public office again, but he's still months away from starting as the new president of the NCAA.
In the meantime, he said, he'll miss interacting with his constituents.
"I'll certainly miss the people of Massachusetts most of all," he said.
"It's an incredible difference to deal with people across the Commonwealth who are completely familiar with you because they see you all the time in the news. So they talk to you like you're their neighbor, good or bad. There's no job I can think of where you get this close to the people you're working with than this one."

An Open Thin Walled Tube
Solid Mechanics Test Preparation, Solid Mechanics homework Help, Solid Mechanics Course Help
An open thin-walled tube, 1000 mm long, has a wall thickness of 2.0 mm and an initial mean diameter of 100 mm. The plastic stress-strain curve for the material is given by ( σ = 300 ε0.3 MPa). The tube is subject to axial load F and internal pressure P, so that the stress ratio σθ/σz = 3.0 at all times. The plastic deformation continues until the mean diameter is increased to 120 mm. Ignoring σr Determine:
a. The true strain components at the end of the deformation process,
b. The equivalent strain at the end of the deformation process,
c. The equivalent stress at the end of the deformation process,
d. The final dimensions of the tube,
e. The final axial load and internal pressure.
Assume that the axial stress in not affected by the internal pressure (open thin-walled tube).
a The T-beam is made of an elastic-plastic material, for which the yield stress is 400 MPa. Determine the maximum elastic moment and the plastic moment that can be applied to the cross section.
b. The continuous beam shown in Figure is made of the same cross section as in part a with the flange facing upwards. Sketch ALL possible modes of collapse showing clearly the locations of plastic hinges in each mode, calculate ALL corresponding magnitudes of collapse loads and finally determine the magnitude of the critical load P which will cause the beam to collapse.
L = 6.0 m.

Q: Should root own files in rbenv directories? Today I was trying to install a jekyll's gem using:
gem install jekyll

And I got some permission errors:
$ gem install jekyll
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir -  /Users/myuser/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-14/2.2.0-static/ffi-1.9.10

Well, I checked and indeed that file as well as a lot of other ones are owned by root.
Is that correct? Should root own files under rbenv's root directory? Can I fix this by using chown recursively to change everything under ~/.rbenv to my user?

A: No, root should not own any file in ~/.rbenv. Probably it caused by some unneeded sudo usage. You can safely chown the files in the directory.

Going In Search Of Colombia's Lost City On The Cass MBA
Experiential learning is at the heart of The Cass MBA Expeditionary Society. BusinessBecause catches up with two grads who've recently returned from four days in the middle of the Colombian jungle
By Thomas Nugent
Wed Oct 17 2018
The Cass MBA Expeditionary Society went in search of Colombia's lost city, Cuidad Perdida
Colombia's Cuidad Perdida (literally, 'lost city') was rediscovered in the 1970's after a period hidden away in the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Known locally by its indigenous name, Teyuna, it's estimated that the city was built by the Tayrona people as early as 800AD!
Earlier this year, a group of 14 MBA alumni and students from Cass Business School's MBA Expeditionary Society went in search of Colombia's lost city. They came back with more than sweaty brows and aching limbs as the heat and humidity of the Colombian jungle offered a dynamic opportunity for leadership development.
"I learned the real value of effective communication and direction within such a setting," says Athar Khan, an Executive MBA graduate who was on the expedition. "A lack of it can lead to dire consequences, pretty much like in life and the real business world."
The Colombian expedition, he adds, was the best experience he has had while being part of the Cass MBA Expeditionary Society. Being completely cut off from the outside world, he says, encourages richer conversation among everyone on the expedition.
"This offsite, real-life classroom experience really drives home the value of leadership in an almost instant way," Athar explains. "Those Bear Grylls survival documentaries now immediately make sense!"
Athar came out of the expedition with a heightened sense of responsibility when leading a team, he asserts. He thinks staying better connected and making fewer assumptions about peers means his future style of leadership will reduce potential misunderstandings.
The Cass MBA Expeditionary Society (Cass XPS) was founded with three key goals: To strengthen the relationship between Cass MBA students and alumni; to create opportunities for experiential learning for leadership development; and to raise money for Cass MBA scholarships.
Marco Ferrari, an Executive MBA graduate from Cass Business School who also joined the expedition, says it's an intense challenge guaranteed to develop you both professionally and personally.
One of the biggest challenges, he explains, is the intense heat and humidity coupled with intermittent rainstorms. And the terrain is just pure jungle, he adds. "From the first day onwards, you are walking on tracks made for just mules and people."
Alongside leadership development, the explorers also learned a lot about local history and culture. Marco explains a principle of the Cass Expeditionary Society is to collaborate with an area's indigenous people. In this expedition they were led to Ciudad Perdida—accessible only by foot—by local guides from the indigenous Wiwa tribe.
The place is still shrouded in religious tradition, he adds. During the month of September, it still shuts down to the public so that Shamans from other indigenous peoples can perform rituals.
Access to such a rich education is what makes the Cass MBA Expeditionary Society a distinctive trait of the business school—it creates opportunities to bring to life an 'explorer mindset', a key feature of the school.
"You can appreciate the instinct to explore is attuned to some kind of leadership development," Marco says, "but having experienced it in real life, there are so many components that become palpable and pragmatic as you go through it."
The point of the expedition is to align with the explorer mindset and confront yourself with a physical and mental challenge, to allocate time to reflect and share experiences around your own leadership style, and to challenge your peers, Marco says.
"As it happens in other walks of life people will go at different speeds," he adds. "There were extroverts and introverts, but the point was to find ways to gel and create synergy with the group."
The 14 members are divided into groups, with a different person taking the lead every day, Marco explains. His team decided on a goal of the day as a group, and then shared their thoughts on how successful they'd been at dinner.
Throughout the expedition, he says that one revelation was his ability to adapt to the pace of other people. Marco recalls a long list of previous hikes he's done in his free time, but this time around he was determined to walk with the tail of the group, something he found very constructive.
"It made me take in more interaction with other people and reflect positively with the people around me," he says.
"I think I got an even deeper appreciation of how the different leadership styles of people have a direct impact on mood, atmosphere, and the way other people relate to each other during the day."
This is a mentality he will take back into his working life—he currently leads the marketing strategy team at Sugru.
"This really helps you look back and consider what are the implications of leadership and culture in an organization. Seeing it on a smaller scale day-by-day, that is something that made it even more apparent to me."
For Cass Business School MBAs eager to test their mettle in the years to come, Marco has some advice they should heed.
"The physical challenge shouldn't be underestimated," he says. "It's not just the physical exertion, there is the impact on your understanding of how you can tackle a challenge and what it's like to push through with your sheer will!"

Inside look: The Hunger Games premiere!
by Meagan Morris
Mar 14, 2012 at 12:26 pm EDT
The much-anticipated silver screen adaptation of The Hunger Games is almost in theaters! The stars aligned Monday night in Los Angeles for the world premiere of the film… and SheKnows was there!
Are the odds forever in your favor? Of course they are — The Hunger Games is almost ready for its worldwide debut in theaters around the world! March 23 cannot come soon enough, but we got a little taste of what we can expect on Monday night when the stars came out for the worldwide premiere of the film.
The general consensus throughout the crowd? Excitement! The film — starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks — has something for the whole family, actor Wes Bentley told us.
New Hunger Games clip: Peeta gets personal >>
"It kind of reaches all ages, kids love it for many reasons, but adults love it because it has sophistication and it's about rebellion," Bentley, who plays Seneca Crane, told SheKnows on the red carpet.
The Hunger Games is also set to make Liam Hemsworth a mega-watt star, much like Twilight launched Robert Pattinson into the stratosphere. However, Miley Cyrus' main squeeze isn't getting caught up in all of the hype.
"I don't consider myself a heartthrob," Hemsworth told us. "I'm pinching myself… I'm extremely fortunate to be a part of all of this."
That's not to say that the cast wants his character, Gale, to end up with Katniss — most of the actors are Team Peeta all the way. Hutcherson, Peeta's alter-ego, has to be happy to hear that.
As for the best scene in the film? Banks said it's all about a tearjerker.
"I'm looking forward to Rue's funeral," she said. "It's very emotional and you're going to need five hankies when you watch it."

Tyberiusz Semproniusz Longus (ur. ok. 260 p.n.e.) – konsul rzymski podczas drugiej wojny punickiej.

W roku 218 p.n.e. został wybrany na urząd konsula, drugim konsulem na ten rok został Publiusz Korneliusz Scypion. W tym samym roku Semproniusz został wysłany do Afryki wraz ze 160 okrętami w celu pozyskania uzupełnienia wojsk i zapasów. W trakcie tej wyprawy Semproniusz zdobył Maltę pokonując Kartagińczyków i biorąc w niewolę 2000 żołnierzy kartagińskich. Wezwany przez senat po klęsce wojsk rzymskich w bitwie nad rzeką Ticinus, wbrew radom Scypiona zaatakował armię Hannibala nad rzeką Trebią. W styczniu 217 p.n.e. pokonany Semproniusz z 10 000 żołnierzy powrócił do Rzymu. W roku 215 p.n.e. w bitwie pod Grumentum pokonał oddziały kartagińskie dowodzone przez wodza Hannona.

Był ojcem Tyberiusza Semproniusza Longusa, który pełnił urząd konsula w 194 p.n.e.

bboys to men. | 5stepsapart.
In February 2006, artist Rich Medina (USA) and Mark Klaverstijn (from the Amsterdam design unit Machine) collaborated and assigned us to create the music video project to create the music video for Rich Medina's new track "BBoys To Men" from his new album "Connecting The Dots".
Teamed up with Liang Lu, we took the lyrics of the tracks and developed the idea of "we eat, we grow". In the video, by constantly stuffing the objects mentioned in the lyrics into the mouth, we created a visual representation in the most literal and straightforward way. It is a narrative about how each of us as an innocent soul has to take in and cope with all the issues and topics from our society, no matter if we have an appetite for it or not.

IMPACT WINTER PS4 & XBOX ONE – OUT NOW!
Apr 5, 2018 | 0 comments
Today we have a new trailer and set of screenshots to accompany the console launch of Impact Winter. The game is now live on both Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
Launching on consoles represents a big milestone for us – and the end of a very long journey. We started with a modest concept back in 2014, and over the course of development we've learnt a huge amount, with the game becoming much more than we first imagined. The small team here at Mojo Bones are incredibly proud of what we've created.
Impact Winter is a complex game that has received various updates since its initial launch on PC. Of course, we will continue to take your feedback on-board as we move forward, with the first step being a day-one patch that is ready for new console players.
For one final time we'd like to say a big Thank You to the many people who have supported us on this journey (and helped make it possible). From our partners at Bandai Namco to the loved-ones who have seen us stagger through the front door at 3am in the morning.
But most of all, we'd like to thank you – the people who support us (and our work). From the friends and colleagues who gave us their valued opinions, to the original Kickstarter backers who stood by us before the game was even in full-time development.

NASCAR driver Mike Harmon is out on bond after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with stealing Jennifer Jo Cobb's race hauler on May 11.
Yes, this is a tale involving two NASCAR drivers, and one is accused of stealing the other's hauler.
Cobb, who is competing in the Camping World Truck Series this year for her own Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing team, said that her hauler was stolen on May 11. The Rowan County, (N.C.) Sheriff's Office issued warrants for the arrest of Harmon and his sister Sheila Rae Rice on Wednesday for felony larceny of the trailer and breaking and entering of a motor vehicle. Harmon was Cobb's team manager when she previously ran in the Nationwide Series. Harmon, who also has his own team, has made five Nationwide Series starts and two Truck Series starts this year.
Harmon was arrested Wednesday afternoon and posted bond. He took to Twitter Wednesday evening to profess his innocence, saying in two tweets that "I want it known that I have never stolen so much as a piece of bubble gum in my life. I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me any where near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there's a boulder coming."
Cobb posted to Facebook Thursday morning that, contradictory to Wednesday reports, she did not accuse Harmon of stealing her hauler, but that the warrant was issued because of "evidence and eye witness accounts."
Video posted on the WBTV.com YouTube account shows Cobb's trailer slowly driving away from the camera, but there's no way to tell who is behind the wheel of the truck or how they entered.
Cobb said the contents of the hauler were valued at over $250,000.
This isn't the first time this year that a vehicle has been at the center of a disagreement between Cobb and someone formerly involved with her team. During Speedweeks at Daytona, the van that Cobb's team drove to a restaurant was taken when it was parked in the lot.
Cobb initially reported the van as stolen, but shortly after its disappearance, David Novak contacted the Ponce Inlet Police Department and said he was the owner of the vehicle. Novak, who according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal was in litigation with Cobb about the ownership of her team after he cut ties "personally and professionally" with Cobb in December, told police that he was the van's owner and supplied proof.
