Foreign betting syndicates allegedly targeting Irish football
By Bookmakers Review23 June 2013
Football Association of Ireland says to have prevented a foreign criminal betting syndicate from infiltrating the League of Ireland.
While there is no evidence that any League of Ireland football match was fixed, the FAI's league director, Fran Gavin, claims that the investigation that led to the 18-month suspension of Longford Town midfielder Colm James revealed an attempt to infiltrate Irish football.
"We interviewed over 50 people during several weeks and we strongly believe that there was a group involved in approaching the player from outside our jurisdiction," said Gavin, who believes a foreign betting syndicate was assembling a "network" to fix matches in Ireland.
FAI is understood to have shared the information they gathered with FIFA and UEFA as well as with the local police as criminal betting syndicates are understood to resort to intimidation and bribery to fix football matches.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, Senator Graham. Thank you for that overly generous introduction. Lindsey and I have known each other a long time. And he knows me well enough to know that the introduction I prefer is a little bit shorter: I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order. (Applause.) And it's an honor to be with all of you today.
And I always think it's proper to introduce the highest- ranking official last. So join me in welcoming my wife of 33 years. (Laughter.) She's a Marine Corps mom. She's an advocate for military families. She's even an art teacher at a Christian school. Would you join me welcoming the Second Lady of the United States of America, Karen Pence. (Applause.) Isn't she great?
You know, the President said many times that the United States is, in his words, a "nation of faith." And the leaders in this sanctuary live that out every day.
You minister to thousands of people across South Carolina. You rightly handle the word of truth. You preach the word "in season and out of season." And you address the spiritual and practical needs of your congregations. And the churches you represent I know make a profound impact on the life of this community, this state, and this nation.
In fact, I learned on my way in that our hosts today here at the Brushy Creek Baptist Church have been spreading the word since the days of our nation's first President, George Washington. And I'm told that just last week, this church celebrated its 225th anniversary. Would you join me in giving a big round of applause for this bedrock of the Christian faith here in South Carolina? (Applause.) It's amazing.
Brushy Creek Baptist Church was founded, I'm told, with just five members. Because of your tireless dedication to the Gospel over the generations, now more than 3,000 people live out your mission to "rescue, [to] grow, and [to] serve" here in South Carolina. And today, churches in the farthest corners of the globe are thriving thanks to your faith and generosity. And you have our thanks and admiration.
I have no doubt that each of you representing so many ministries from across this region have the same kind of impact in your communities, the same impact on our nation and the world at large. And I believe with all my heart that your faith is moving mountains and your witness is changing lives every day.
And I know what I'm talking about. You know, I was raised in a churched home. It was grace before dinner and church on Sunday morning. But 40 years ago last spring, everything changed for me. I heard the message that all of you speak so faithfully from pulpits and in coffee shops and in conversations every day. I heard that "God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes…would not perish." And that day I walked down at a little Christian concert in Asbury, Kentucky, and I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. And he has made all the difference. (Applause.) He has. He has.
So thank you for the work that you're doing in the lives of people across this community every day and he way you're changing hearts. Truly, you're renewing South Carolina every day. In fact, as I stand before you today, as Senator Graham just reflected, I believe we're in the midst of a great renewal and a fresh beginning all across this country.
And the American economy is roaring. The results have been nothing short of extraordinary. You've seen it here all across South Carolina, and it's happening all across America.
In just two years, businesses large and small across this country have created 5.3 million new jobs, including more than 490,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs. The stock market is soaring. Nearly 5 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps. And the unemployment rate is at a 50-year low. And it's the lowest ever recorded for African Americans or Hispanic Americans. The American Dream is working for every American once again. (Applause.) It's true.
And probably most meaningful among all the statistics for the President and me is that while wages are rising at the fastest pace that they have in a decade, they are rising most rapidly for blue-collar Americans.
And to ensure our continued growth, we all know that we have to secure the blessings of liberty with a strong national defense. And I can promise you this President and this senator have no higher priority than the safety and security of the American people.
And from the first days of this administration, we've worked to make the strongest military in the history of the world stronger still. And last year, President Trump signed the largest investment in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan.
With that renewed military strength, the United States is once again standing as leader of the free world. We're standing with our allies and we're standing up to our enemies.
American strength has brought the rogue regime in North Korea to the negotiating table. We've stood strong for the restoration of freedom and democracy in Venezuela. And with the courage of our extraordinary armed forces, we've taken the fight to radical Islamic terrorists on our terms, on their soil.
So we've stood up to our enemies but we've stood with our allies. And that includes our most cherish ally. You know, for decades, one administration after another promised — promised to our most cherish ally that we would recognize their capital in the same way that we've recognized every capital of every sovereign nation on Earth. But President Trump made history when he announced, a little more than a year ago, that we were moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Israel. (Applause.) He made history.
So we're restoring American strength at home and abroad, but in this White House, we know that America's strength ultimately comes from the foundation of our most cherished values. If the foundations crumble, how can a nation stand? And from early in this administration, President Trump has stood with people of faith and stood for our most cherished freedoms.
And even if he wasn't here with us today, I would take a moment to give special thanks to a tremendous partner of this administration who's stood with our administration, standing up for President Trump's conservative judicial nominees. And now he is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Would you all join me in thanking Senator Lindsey Graham for his strong stand for the Constitution and for all of President Trump's appointees to the courts? (Applause.) Thank you. Thanks.
Extraordinary to think about the difference on our courts. More than 80 federal judges, and they're conservatives all. I'll tell you, they're men and women that are going to stand by the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, like the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
And beyond all those 80 judges, that doesn't even include Justice Neil Gorsuch or Justice Brett Kavanaugh. (Applause.) You know, I know America will never forget the force of the words of Senator Graham during the Kavanaugh hearing. And I know here, in South Carolina, you'll never forget it as well.
It was an extraordinary hearing to watch as a good man was treated so badly by Democrats on the committee. And your senator called that spectacle exactly what it was: a "despicable thing," and in his words, the "most unethical sham since [he's] been in politics." Lindsey Graham stood strong, and now Justice Brett Kavanaugh sits on the Supreme Court of the United States of America. (Applause.) So thank you, Lindsey.
Our courts are stronger and our Constitution is more secure with President Donald Trump in the White House and with strong conservative leaders in the United States Senate, like your senator.
And with his strong leadership, we're going to continue to appoint even more judges. And I promise you they'll all going to be men and women who interpret the Constitution as written and uphold all the God-given liberties enshrined there.
You know, the truth of the matter is — the truth of the matter is I've also long believed that a society can be judged by how it deals the most vulnerable: the aged, the infirm, the disabled, and the unborn. And I couldn't be more proud to serve as Vice President to a President who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. (Applause.) And he does.
In one of his very first acts after inauguration, the President reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortion or abortion providers around the world. And just this week, our administration took steps to expand it even more around the world.
And for all the progress we're making, it's remarkable to think, at the very moment that more Americans — especially young Americans — are embracing the right to life, leading members of the Democratic Party are embracing a radical agenda of abortion on demand. And the people of South Carolina deserve to know it.
In state legislatures across the country, Democrats have endorsed late-term abortion. We all saw how the Democrat governor of Virginia openly defended infanticide. And last month, Democrats in the Senate, including every Democrat senator running for president, voted against a bill that would prevent newborn babies who survived failed abortions from being killed.
And to all the champions of faith here today, let me assure you: You have an ally in President Donald Trump. We'll always stand with you and with all who share your values. And we will always defend your fundamental right to religious liberty and to live out your faith.
But the truth is, the freedom of religion is increasingly under attack here at home. Lately, it's actually become fashionable for media elites and Hollywood liberals to mock religious belief. My own family was the target of these attacks after Karen went back to teach art to children at a Christian school.
So let me say from my heart, these attacks on believing Christians and Christian education are wrong and they must stop. (Applause.) They're antithetical to our great American tradition and they should be condemned by every American of every faith.
And I'm proud to say that since the first day of this administration, President Trump has taken bold action to protect the religious liberty and conscience rights of every American of every faith tradition. In our first year in office, the President declared in his words that, quote, the "federal government will never, ever penalize any person for their protected religious beliefs." And we directed the Department of Justice to develop new protections for Americans of faith.
And just last week, President Trump signed an executive order to ensure that America's First Amendment protections extend to every college and university campus in America. We'll always stand with courageous young men and women across the country who deserve to live out their faith without repercussion on the campuses of this country.
And as we defend our religious liberty here at home, I can assure you, with the strong support of Senator Graham, our administration has been standing strong for religious liberty around the world.
Today, tragically, 83 percent of the world's population live in nations where religious freedom is either threatened or banned outright.
The list of religious freedom violators is long and merits our attention and prayer. Crimes and oppressions span the width and breadth of our globe. Here in our own hemisphere, the government of Daniel Ortega is virtually waging war on the Nicaraguan Catholic Church. Government-backed mobs armed with machetes, and even heavy weapons, recently attacked parishes and churches. Bishops and priests have been physically assaulted by police. And hundreds of courageous Nicaraguans have died in the cause of freedom in the last year alone.
Last summer, I had the privilege at a conference at the State Department to meet Father Raul Zamora, the parish priest of the Divine Mercy Church. An extraordinary man of faith. Just a week before we met, his church had been attacked by the Ortega government, and some 200 students had sought shelter there.
And I'll never forget the story he told me of that day. His courage was evidence. He literally put himself in harm's way to protect those students for more than 15 hours. He prayed with them through the night as bullets rang against the walls and through the windows. He risked his own life to help negotiate a ceasefire and eventually the students' release.
But Father Zamora told me a story that day, that as he and the students were walking out of the church, a young man who described himself as an atheist walked up to him and took him by the hand. And he said these words — he said, "Father, I don't believe in God. But if I ever believe in God, I'm going to believe in your God." That's a testimony. That's a witness of faith and courage that will change the world.
As I told Father Zamora, we'll remain committed to supporting the people of Nicaragua in their struggle for freedom, and we always will.
Farther from home, but closer to our hearts, the world watched in horror earlier this month as an evil white supremacist murdered 15  innocent Muslims at prayer in New Zealand. It was a travesty. An atrocity. It grieved the hearts of people around the world.
But nowhere have people of faith faced greater threats than in the ancient lands where the world's three great religions were born, across the Middle East — an area that your senator knows very well and has traveled to on innumerable occasions.
Since 2014, it is remarkable to think — one week after the ISIS caliphate and its territory were recaptured, to reflect on the fact that, over the last five years, ISIS has murdered thousands of Christians, forced hundreds of thousands of them to flee from their native communities and their homes and their nations. And it's not just been Christians who felt the brutality of ISIS; believers of many other faiths suffered grievously at ISIS's hands, including Muslims, Druze, Yazidis.
And as I said earlier, this President promised to destroy the ISIS caliphate, and the ISIS caliphate is now destroyed. But while we've liberated millions of captive Christians and religious minorities across the Middle East, I'm proud to report to each one of you that we're also helping these communities rebuild their lives and replant their roots in their ancient and ancestral homes as never before.
At President Trump's direction, for the first time ever, the United States of America is providing direct financial support to Christians and religious minorities rebuilding their communities across the Middle East. (Applause.) It's happening. We've already committed more than $340 million to their aid under the President's leadership.
And the truth is, we're just getting started to restore the vibrant diversity of faith across the ancient world.
And also, finally, religious persecution is growing in the world's most populous country as well. The State Department's annual International Religious Freedom report labeled China as a religious freedom violator every year since 1999.
Persecuted Christians around the world deserve your prayers. And I know they have them. But I want to promise you: Under this administration, they will always have the support of the American people as well.
It's really wonderful for us to be with you today, and we're grateful that all of you would take time on a beautiful Saturday to come out. Your presence here is an encouragement to us and deeply humbling.
You know, the President and I share one conviction, and that is: The sweetest words we ever hear are when people reach across a rope line or stop us on a street corner and say, "I'm praying for you." And you can always tell when people mean it. Those of you in ministry know what I'm talking about. When that person looks at you and they say it with a conviction that you know comes straight from their heart, you know that they're taking your name before the throne of grace, and it's deeply humbling.
I invariably respond to people that we feel it every day. And we do, don't we?
But as you pray for those of us in positions of authority that have been entrusted by the American people in our positions, I also encourage you, in these too divided of times across this country, to just pray for America. Pray for all the people of America. Because I truly do believe that those ancient words that have seen our nation through much more challenging times than we could imagine in our time are every bit as true today: That if His people who are called by His name will humble themselves and pray, He'll do like He's always done through the long and storied history of this country. He'll hear from Heaven and He'll heal this land — (applause) — this one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So keep on praying.
At home and abroad, I'll promise you, President Trump and I are going to continue to fight for what we know is right. But as I close, let me say we also recognize that the most important work in America doesn't happen in the White House, on Capitol Hill, or in any public office for that matter.
I can assure you the President and I know the most meaningful work — the transformative work in this country — happens in places just like this; it happens in houses of worship and in the hearts of the American people.
We know the truth is no podium the President and I ever stand behind will be of greater consequence than your pulpits. No policy we ever enact will be more meaningful than the ministries that you lead. No action will — we take will ever be more powerful than the love and compassion and the prayers for the American people.
So thank you for the honor of addressing you. Keep changing hearts. Keep reaching people all across this community, and this state, this nation, and this world. Keep changing lives. And we'll keep making American great again.

La cattedrale di San Pietro a Rabat è una cattedrale della Chiesa cattolica in Marocco, situata nel centro della capitale Rabat, nella piazza di Golan. È costruita in stile Art déco ed è la sede dell'Arcidiocesi di Rabat.

La costruzione della cattedrale iniziò nel 1919. L'architetto capo era Adrien Laforgue, fratello del poeta Jules Laforgue. La cerimonia inaugurale fu presieduta nel 1921 dal ministro generale residente di Francia in Marocco, il maresciallo di Francia Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey e la cattedrale iniziò ad essere utilizzata dal novembre dello stesso anno. I due campanili della cattedrale, ormai caratteristici dello skyline cittadino, furono aggiunti nel 1930.

La cattedrale è del tutto operativa e la messa vi è celebrata quasi quotidianamente.

Q: Embedding a list in org-mode tables? Can I have tables like the following generated using org-mode,
Day 1 | a) A |
      | b) B |
      | c) C |
Day 2 | a) D |
Day 3 | a) E |

A: Like this?
|-----------+------|
| Monday    | a) A |
|           | b) B |
|           | c) C |
|-----------+------|
| Tuesday   | a) D |
|-----------+------|
| Wednesday | a) E |
|-----------+------|

I just entered
|||

Then RET inside the table to get more rows and C-RET to get lines. Fill out and go. Seems to export to HTML and text just fine...

A: Also you can write a function that converts arbitrary elisp list of lists  to table. It can be useful to debug (message the "table" string to Messages buffer) lists of lists.
Something like this:

(defun list-of-lists-to-org-table (lol &optional justify min-cell-width columns)
  (let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*org-tb*")))
    (with-current-buffer buf
      (erase-buffer)
      (mapcar (lambda (x)
                (mapcar (lambda (y) (insert (format "%s&" y))) x)(insert "\n")) lol)
      (table-capture 1 (point-max) "&" "\n" justify min-cell-width columns)
      (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))
      )))

Example input:
(list-of-lists-to-org-table '((Abc Def "xyz") (1 1 X1) (2 4 X2) (3 9 X3) (4 16 X4)))
Example output:

+-----+-----+-----+
|Abc  |Def  |xyz  |
+-----+-----+-----+
|1    |1    |X1   |
+-----+-----+-----+
|2    |4    |X2   |
+-----+-----+-----+
|3    |9    |X3   |
+-----+-----+-----+
|4    |16   |X4   |

Torrent Site User Who Transferred 120TB of Pirated Content Avoids Prison
November 28, 2022 by Andy Maxwell
Home > Lawsuits > Apps and Sites >
A torrent site user accused of downloading and uploading at least 120TB of movies, TV shows, eBooks, music and software, has avoided an immediate prison term. The 28-year-old was arrested as part of a police operation against DanishBytes. A member of the same site was sentenced earlier this month after he uploaded Netflix content obtained using hacked credentials.
Many private torrent sites track user traffic to ensure that when content is downloaded, an agreed amount is uploaded back to the rest of the community.
Users can independently maintain their own transfer records, which help them keep track of overall bandwidth used and compliance with site rules, whenever traffic volume is an important factor.
But whether they're held locally, on a torrent site, or by an intermediary service, the usefulness of logs is reversed when they fall into the wrong hands.
DanishBytes User Arrested Then Prosecuted
Early November 2021, Denmark's Public Prosecutor for Special Economic and International Crime (SØIK) announced that six people had been arrested following criminal referrals by Rights Alliance. All were members and/or operators of ShareUniversity and DanishBytes.
Prosecution of site operators is not uncommon but when it's deemed in the public interest, pirate site users can also face charges. Every case is unique so criteria differ, especially across national borders, but when evidence shows large volumes of infringement, successful prosecutions become more likely. That was the case when a former DanishBytes user was sentenced last week.
According to Danish anti-piracy group Rights Alliance, the 28-year-old man was a regular site member and wasn't involved in running the site. That being said, evidence showed that for the period January 2021 to November 2021, he downloaded and/or uploaded no less than 3,000 copyrighted works, including movies, TV shows, music, books, audiobooks and comics.
Guilty Plea and Sentencing
Information released by the National Unit for Special Crimes (NSK), a Danish police unit focused on cybercrime, organized crime, and related financial crime, reveals that the user's traffic statistics interested prosecutors.
"During the period, the man downloaded no less than 100 TB and uploaded no less than 20 TB of copyrighted material," NSK says.
BitTorrent trackers operating a ratio model usually insist on a better ratio of downloads to uploads but DanishBytes' situation was out of the ordinary.
The site launched in January 2021 in the wake of other sites being shut down, so had to get going from a standing start with no users. Even when arrests were being made, the site still had a relatively small userbase, which can limit opportunities to upload more. That may have been a blessing in disguise.
Faced with the evidence, the man decided to plead guilty and was sentenced last week at the Court in Vibourg. In common with similar prosecutions recently, he received a suspended conditional sentence of 60 days' probation, 80 hours of community service, and confiscation of his computer equipment.
"I am satisfied with the verdict. With a sentence of 60 days of suspended imprisonment, the court sends a clear signal that not only the masterminds, but also users of illegal file sharing services can risk being punished," says Beytullaah Karacan, deputy prosecutor at NSK.
Rights Alliance Welcomes Conviction
The case against the DanishBytes user began with a Rights Alliance investigation and a referral to the police. As part of his sentence, the man must pay the anti-piracy group DKK 5,000 (US$600) in compensation but Rights Alliance director Maria Fredenslund is focused on the deterrent effect of another successful prosecution.
"In the Rights Alliance, we have been very focused on getting those behind illegal file-sharing services convicted. But it is equally important that we bring to justice the users who are on these illegal services and who help to keep the services running," Fredenslund says.
"It is an important signal to send that it is not only masterminds who risk prison sentences, but also systematic users. Therefore, it is satisfactory that yet another user has been convicted, and we expect more of these lawsuits in the future."
Earlier this month another DanishBytes user received a suspended sentence for his role on the site. The 34-year-old was user who for two months worked on the site's staff. Importantly, he also used hacked Netflix credentials to obtain content before sharing it with other users of the site.

Making the decision to start a family and then learning you have fertility issues can be one of the most emotionally challenging times in a person's life. Discovering that you or your partner has fertility issues can test relationships, dampen dreams and may affect you on an emotional level you never imagined. With research and continued advances in the science of understanding and counteracting infertility, there are many options available in the pursuit of starting a family, however for some, it is a journey bursting with obstacles, and for these people there are some things that you just shouldn't say – here are just a few of them.
Platitudes (or moral statements) are your worst enemy. Saying things like "if you relax, it will happen" or "you're young, give it time" is more than likely to upset even enrage a woman or couple who are experiencing fertility issues, than make them feel better! Actually try not to make them feel better as the only thing that can achieve that is their own baby. The best you can hope to make them feel is loved and supported and that is all anyone could ask for.
You only mean well, it is said in light-hearted jest and you hope they find it funny. But unfortunately, the emotional trauma of infertility could make this well-meant joke, appear insensitive and come across as insensitive bragging. Avoid this angle at all times.
Ask yourself, do you really? It is very much a 'go to' response, it's human nature to try to relate and comfort, but it can be a little infuriating when someone says it without having any real idea of how that situation actually feels. Fertility is directly linked to dreams of the future, hopes of family and no two people will ever feel the same way, so claiming that you 'understand' can ring hollow. Instead just offer a supportive ear for them to vent and share, be prepared just to listen and every so often simply ask how they are doing.
Regardless of whether your little ones are decorating the lounge room wall with Petit Filous, or you have been unfortunate enough to have to deal with extreme morning sickness, try to remember you have what your friends want – children. To them, the thought of their home being full of mischievous little children or indeed having to suffer through 9 months of morning sickness pales into comparison at the reality of never being able to conceive. Even the most well-meant whinge can seem ungrateful, remember they want children of their own, and morning sickness would be a discomfort they would greatly embrace.
It can be uncomfortable when your friend is telling you about their fertility issues, hard to know exactly what to say, as it is seemingly easier to offend than comfort. However saying nothing, can come across as you think it's too personal or somehow taboo – and not exceptionally brave that they've confided in you. Try not to smile or nod in acknowledgement, then quickly change the subject, this is your opportunity to be kind, ask them if they would like to talk about it and let them know you are there to listen and offer support if need be.
No! 'Exciting' and IVF are not to be used in the same sentence, except when someone is successful and conceive as a result of IVF. When couples are going through the process of IVF, they have arrived at this process because of the devastating reality that they cannot conceive on their own. For many couples, the circumstances surrounding their fertility and their evaluation of the options in fertility treatments have led them down this path, and it is a path fraught with uncertainty, discomfort and the unknown. It is human response to see an opportunity as an adventure, one in which to celebrate, but when people are experiencing fertility issues, we need to tread just a little lightly, even though we may be well-meaning. Sensitivity is heightened when people are hopeful yet apprehensive and perhaps a little scared at what their future holds.

As part of our ongoing investment in Page Insights we recently completed a comprehensive engineering audit of the product. During this audit, we uncovered bugs that impacted impression and reach reporting. We have confirmed that these issues impacted reporting only and not delivery. Ad Insights were not impacted by these bugs.
As soon as we found the bugs, our engineering team began work to resolve them as quickly as possible. We're rolling out fixes beginning this morning and over the weekend.
The actual impact of the bugs will vary from Page to Page and day to day based on a number of factors such as when and how frequently you post. To see the overall impact, if any, on your individual Pages, we recommend looking at your organic, paid and viral reach and impressions for your Page and for your posts over the next few weeks, starting on Monday, February 25. Because these bugs impacted our logging systems we won't be able to backfill Page Insights with historical data.
We know that accurate data is fundamental to building and improving your Facebook presence. We are taking this very seriously. We have already put a number of additional quality and verification measures in place to prevent future bugs and resolve them quickly if they arise.
We appreciate your patience and we are committed to constantly improving and investing in the quality of Page Insights.


World music could also be termed 'local music' – depending on how you look at it – giving far away listeners a chance to experience the lives, cultures and unique characteristics of a townstead, region or country.
Never is this more true than with the music of Ana Alcaide. Both inspired by, and firmly rooted in, the culture of her hometown of Toldedo, Spain, Ana's music brings this ancient and beautiful city to life like the lead role in a play. In fact, so much is Ana's music imbued with her hometown's indentity and charm, locals are calling it 'the Toledo Soundtrack'.
Toledo is a city in which Jewish, Christian and Islamic cultures coexisted for centuries, and those cultures still pervade the city to this day. Including influences from all three cultures, Ana's international debut album, La Cantiga del Fuego, traces the story of the Sephardic Jews who were banished from Toledo in the fifteenth century, and longed to return.
Among vocals and other instruments Ana plays the nyckelharpa, a keyed-fiddle used in Swedish folk music which Ana had fallen in love with while visiting Sweden. Returning home, she taught herself to play it on the streets of Toledo, far from its traditional setting. Ana has played a pioneering role in introducing and popularizing the nyckelharpa in Spain.

I woke up today and decided to write about Speedo. You may be thinking "random🤔" but you girls have no idea on how amazing Speedo's new collection is.
I know when you first hear the brand your instinct is to think about those old school one pieces you used to wear for swimming lessons. Well, that's not the case anymore. Now, you will be able to associate the brand with trendy and comfortable #bikinis like the one I decided to wear today.
I am wearing the Noemi High Neck Top and the Print Emily Hipster Bottom. I am loving this style because it fits my baby bump and boobies (that grew over night) so perfect.
The Top has a front little keyhole detail and the back has crossback straps for support and comfort.
The bottom has a somewhat cheeky cut but still conservative. I honestly feel like this is the perfect set for a family beach day.
So, what do you babes think about Speedo's new collection? Intrigued? Curious? Well, being 100% honest you definitely should give them a shot. Most of the collection is on SALE and you can get many other beautiful prints.
Being 6 months pregnant, I don't think I could be any more comfortable in a #bikini thanks to Speedo!
Suggestions: If between sizes size up.

Sexual Harassment at BHS
Summer Grace
By Summer Grace and Halle Newman
A national conversation, fueled by the #MeToo movement, has vaulted women's rights and sexual harassment in the workplace to the forefront of the American culture wars. #MeToo is a social media hashtag encouraging victims of sexual harassment to stand in solidarity with each other and expose the magnitude of the problem. Sexual harassment allegations against movie moguls and political leaders are prompting Americans to examine the sexist systems of power they live in and how such behavior is perpetuated.
Is this movement a passing trend? Or is #MeToo the beginning of real change for American women? And what are the experiences of Burlington High School (BHS) students in terms of sexual harassment and social activism?
"I don't think that it's an issue at Burlington High School," Fatuma Mohamed, a BHS freshman said. "I haven't seen anything like that at this school."
However, a survey sent out by the Register reports that 1 in 5 respondents said they were sexually harassed on school grounds.
"It happened to me," Dobian said. "I don't even know him. I don't even know his name. He [told] me something and I really [got] upset about it and I [told] him that if he did that next time I will slap him."
Dobian did not report this verbal harassment to an adult in the building, and according to the Register's survey, most students don't. 89% of the 166 survey respondents who said they have experienced or are unsure if they had experienced sexual harassment on school grounds did not report it.
Part of the issue with identifying and reporting sexual harassment is the spectrum of experiences it encompasses. The BHS Register's survey asked respondents to define the range of actions deemed sexual harassment.
"Sexual harassment is an ambiguous concept," Alex Contreras-Montesano, a BHS junior, said. "But as long as someone is uncomfortable in that moment, it could be classified as [sexual harassment]."
For many students interviewed, the level of discomfort for the victim is the only way to determine if sexual harassment occurred.
"I feel like [sexual harassment] is a personally based definition," Zanevia Wilcox, a BHS junior, said. "Only you can truly tell if you are if you are uncomfortable."
The BHS student handbook defines sexual harassment differently than most students. The definition reads, " Conduct that includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal, written, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature" is sexual harassment. The question of who determines what verbal, written, visual or physical conduct is sexual harassment is at the heart of the cultural conflict.
"You have 53 percent of people who think [inappropriate jokes are sexual harassment] and 47 percent of people who think it's not," Isaac Jenemann, a BHS junior, said, referring to statistics from the survey. "If those 47 percent of people are going around making inappropriate jokes, then you have 53 percent of people hearing those jokes and thinking, 'I was sexually harassed.'"
Yet, for Ophelia Keefe, a BHS junior, sexual harassment doesn't have as ambiguous of a definition. Although identifying sexual harassment can be personal, Keefe believes there is a universal standard of feeling comfortable in a situation.
"If you're uncomfortable, you're uncomfortable," Keefe said.
BHS students Jackson Elder, Isaac Jenemann, Gabby Boera, Zanevia Wilcox, and Alexandra Contreras-Montesano pose in defiance.
Tammie Ledoux, a BHS English teacher, says that bringing the conversation into the classroom is important because it helps students to understand what sexual harassment means, and helps to re-establish boundaries for behavior. Ledoux has found that talking about it has helped students to understand the severity of the issue as well, and to help them feel comfortable talking about it.
"Being able to identify when [sexual harassment is] happening to you and then knowing what to do about it to protect yourself and other people is not a skill that most people are born with," Tammie Ledoux, a BHS English teacher, said. "It's not an issue that we have an internal compass that tells us how to navigate. The only way that we can get people to recognize that it's going on is talk about the fact that it exists."
Ledoux says that discussions about this topic serve as a preventative measure.
"It's much better to have conversations about things preemptively before they happen then to react to them after they do," Ledoux said.
Ledoux requires her students to read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. The novel deals with issues ranging from sexual harassment to teen suicide. Her classes focus on a scene in the book in which Hannah Baker, the main character, is "felt up" by a stranger in a candy store.
"I talked about [how] this is considered sexual harassment and some of the kids were like, 'well that's not a big deal, '" Ledoux said.
Her students grapple with the complexity of defining sexual harassment, the intense discomfort of students who share similar experiences as Hannah Baker feel, and the impacts of these kinds of experiences in daily life.
"After we had talked about some of the incidents that Hannah Baker experienced in the book, [a student] asked me if she could speak to me after class and shared with me an incident that happened here at the school," Ledoux said.
Ledoux reported the incident to administration with the student, and supported her through a prosecution process.
"I was pleased that she felt comfortable after the conversations the book brought up to come to me and share [her] story with me."
BHS Junior Gabby Boera expressed concern about having conversations in classrooms around sexual harassment.
"It's a touchy subject. Part of me thinks it would be kind of weird to have it as a required curriculum just because if someone was a victim of that, it could be sensitive for them," Boera said. "Also, it's high school; not [everyone] can take it seriously."
Contrarily, Wilcox believes that this topic belongs in "normal" conversations around school, and should not just be confined to facilitated classroom discussions.
"Our school is really big on never really knowing when these conversations fit in," Wilcox said. "Even in classrooms, I feel that we can talk about race and sexuality and things like that because those are perfect times where that conversation belongs. In my opinion, you can slip it in anywhere."
Even with these types of conversations occurring in some classes, many students still feel like educating students about sexual harassment is not enough of a priority at BHS.
"We're not serious enough about teaching people what's okay and what's across the line," Genni Bogdanowicz, a BHS sophomore, said. "I feel like people don't talk about it."
Noel Green, Assistant Principal at BHS, feels that having a clear, agreed upon definition of sexual harassment is key.
"We have to do more in terms of defining what it is and what it isn't," Green said. "It's a little concerning if [students] don't know, and we as a community can do more work in terms of how people feel."
For teachers, this is complex work. Part of defining harassment includes examining the cultural ideal of masculinity.
"We as a culture in America are raising young men in a very toxic way," Andrew LeValley, a BHS English teacher said. "The idea of masculinity, especially in developing teenagers, is a very rigid idea. That idea of being masculine comes out in really damaging ways, damaging to others and damaging to the self."
Contreras-Montesano says that just as there is toxicity for young men growing up, women are raised as inferiors.
"We teach women how not to be sexually harassed but we don't teach men not to sexually harass," Contreras-Montesano said. "People spend their lives thinking its okay to make someone else feel that way. [We have to] change the climate by getting people to realize: no, it's not okay."
Students Gabby Boera, Jackson Elder, and Zanavia Wilcox show off feminist clothing.
BHS administrators Herbert Perez, Tracy Racicot, Mario Macias, and Noel Green are the designated employees to whom teachers and students can report sexual harassment; yet, BHS students appear to leave adults out of it.
"It might be even more meaningful for a guy who engaged in sexual harassment, for another guy [rather than a girl] to come up to them and [call him out]," Jackson Elder, a BHS Junior, said. "He already views himself as superior [to girls] because he's doing the sexual harassment, but if another guy [confronted him] who he viewed as an equal, like a friend, he would be much more open."
LeValley says intervening in these situations is vital; but is sympathetic to root causes that he believes cause sexual harassment to occur.
"High schoolers are trying to figure things out, figure themselves out, and as a result, they try on different masks, and I think sometimes those masks can be inappropriate," LeValley said. "I do not expect malicious sexual harassment. I do expect students to be unsure of themselves, and as a result that comes out in inappropriate ways, but it sometimes stems from just being young and unsure and trying to be cool."
Henri Sparks is the Director of Equity and Safe Inclusive Schools for the Burlington School District. Sparks said that this monumental issue is finally being dealt with after a long time of being suppressed by American culture. He too, says that the solution may begin with men.
"The #MeToo movement has opened up a lot of people's eyes. In some instances men tend to be naive in thinking, 'It's not that big a problem.' I firmly believe it's a problem," Sparks said. "It was a huge problem before the #MeToo movement; it's just that society never took it seriously. Until men step up to the plate and say 'We aren't going to tolerate other men acting like that,' nothing changes."
Administrators understand sexual harassment is under-reported here at BHS and nationwide. They say the stigma around reporting may interfere with victims getting the help they need.
"There is no shame or judgment," Green said. "We want to know so we can help … If you've been victimized in any way, we have someone that's here for a couple hours a week to talk and provide resources."
Once a student reports sexual harassment, a process unfolds to both investigate the matter and get students the support they need to move forward.
"If they don't report, there is nothing the school can do," Sparks said. "With reporting, what a school should communicate to a student is that the investigation is confidential. If you report sexual harassment the school should also inform you that if anybody is saying anything to you about this, threatening you, that is something the school has to investigate as a separate offense."
Green does not see the #MeToo movement having an effect on BHS as a whole, but he does believe that it might be individually helping the de-stigmatization of sexual harassment, and could eventually increase reports to administration.
The national #MeToo movement has inspired organizations to take action. Raliance is a nonprofit that works to stop sexual violence and harassment by educating people across the country, including high school students. Raliance, along with Stop Street Harassment, another non-profit working to end sexual violence, conducted a survey in part with the University of California in late January of 2018. The results from the survey concluded that 81 percent of women and 43 percent of men over age 18 had experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime.
Julie Patrick, an employee of this organization believes that high school students are in a great position to make change. Students can practice every day consent, take action when they witness sexual harassment, and demand their school conduct a climate investigation.
"Schools have a lot of power to change culture," Patrick said. "It's about creating norms where interpersonal norms and harassment aren't acceptable and everyone is expected to do their part to keep everyone safe.

I am so glad that other schools and students are having this conversation. The only way that a change can happen is with education and peer accountability. Well written, Summer.

I had my Guidant ICD replaced 2 days ago by an European brand ICD : ELA from the Sorin group (Ovatio DR). They kept the original lead and added a second one.
At the hospital where I was treated (one of the top ranking Paris hospital for heart problems) they are fond about this ICD. Is it in use in the States and does anyone has an experience with it?
I've heard of the brand. I don't know of anyone in the United States who has one implanted.
I had an ELA Ovatio DR implanted about 7 months ago. So far, no problems and no shocks. My Cardiologist likes the ELA because he says its algorithm protects against unnecessary therapy. I see you've had yours for 2 years (since the date of your post). Any problems?
