people who stand up and talk about this? >> what did you report? what was the response? >> so i reported that there were real problems with the way the nsa was interpreting its legal authorities. and the response more or less in bureaucratic language was you should stop asking questions. and these are recent records. this isn't ancient history. i would say one of my final official acts in government was continuing one of these communications with a legal office. and, in fact, i'm so sure that these communications exist that i've called on congress to write a letter to the nsa to verify that they do. write to their office of general counsel and say, did mr. snowden ever communicate any concerns about the nsa's interpretation of its legal authorities? >> now about that last point there about the paper trail that snowden says exists within the n sarks.
that's too extreme. these are good people trying to do hard work for good reasons. the problem that we are confronted with, the challenge that we are facing is not the working level guy, some mustache-twirling villain out to destroy your life. it's the fact that senior officials are investing themselves with powers that they are not entitled to, and they are doing it without asking the public for any kind of consent.
and not pursued the route you did, what's your response? >> i actually did go through channels. and that is documented. the nsa has records. they have copies of e-mails right now to their office of general counsel, to their oversight and compliance folks from me raising concerns about the nsa's interpretations of its legal authorities. now, i have raised these complaints not just officially, in writing through e-mail to these offices and individuals, but to my supervisors, to my colleagues. in more than one office. i did it in ft. meade.
negotiations have not yet begun. >> are you looking for clemency or amnesty? would you like to go home? >> i don't think there has ever been any question that i would like to go home. from day one i have said i'm doing this to serve my country. i'm still working for the government. now whether amnesty or clemency becomes a possibility is not for me to say. that's a debate for the public and the government to decide. but if i could go anywhere in the world, that place would be home.
>> what didn't you grab? was there a threshold? >> right. i didn't want to take information that would basically be taken and thrown out in the press that would cause harm to individuals, that would cause people to die, that would put lives at risk. so a good gauge of what information was provided to the journalists is a representation of what you see in the press. now, the nsa and the defense intelligence agency and some of these other organizations have claimed that lives are at risk, that all this military information was out there, that, you know, i took all this information about missiles and warheads and tanks, but we don't see any of that in the newspaper. we haven't seen any stories on that.
pentagon when the plane hit it. i take the threat of terrorism seriously, and i think we all do, and i think it's really disingenuous for the government to invoke and sort of scandalize our memories. to sort of exploit the national trauma that we all suffered together and worked so hard to come through to justify programs that have never been shown to keep us safe but cost us liberties and freedoms that we don't need to give up, and our constitution says we should not give up.
we've got to find this enemy we can't see. >> the definition of a security state is any nation that prioritizes security over all other considerations. i don't believe the united states is or ever should be a security state. ife want to be free we can't become subject to surveillance. we can't give away our privacy. we can't give away our rights. we have to be an active party. we have to be an active part of our government. and we have to say there are some things worth dying for. i think the country is one of them.
better not to get into in a news interview, but i would be happy to discuss these things with the government. >> what is the number? what is the closest you've come to estimating the number of documents? >> i will say the 1.7 million documents figure that the intelligence community has been bandying about, the director of nsa himself keith alexander said just a week ago in the australian financial times, or australian financial review, i believe, that they have no idea what documents were taken at all. their auditing was so poor, so negligent that any private contractor, not even an employee of the government could walk into the nsa building, take whatever they wanted, and walk out with it and they would never know. now, i think that's a problem. and i think that's something that needs to be resolved. people need to be held to account for. has it happened before? could it happen again?
america you wanted to join up, and you did. >> in 2004, i joined the u.s. army under the 18 x-ray special forces recruit program. i have to give high respect to everyone many the military and the graduates of those programs. they are better men than i. i was injured very early on in the program and i washed out. you know, i readily admit it, i don't hide that. >> snowden reportedly left the military after breaking both of his legs in training. >> the fact is that i tried. you know, i saw what was going on in the world. i believed the government's arguments that we were going to do good things in iraq, that we were going to free the oppressed. and i wanted to do my part to help share the national burden and create not just a better america but a better world.
that president putin's standing in the world, let's say, has changed so dramatically during the time you have been here? >> it's really frustrating for someone who is working so hard to expand the domain of our rights and our privacy to end up stuck in a place where those rights are being challenged in ways that i would consider deeply unfair. the recent bloggers' registration law in russia, i can't think of any basis for a law like that. not just in russia, but any country. the government shouldn't regulate the operations of a free press whether it is nbc or some blogger in their living room. there is so much that needs to be defended here in russia, but i am limited by my inability to speak russian and so on that it's an isolating and frustrating thing.
are things radically different in terms of partisanship? there have been radical changes within our government. >> do you see yourself as a patriot? >> i do. you know, i think patriot is a word that's thrown around so much that it can be devalued nowadays. but being a patriot doesn't mean prioritizing service to government above all else. being a patriot means knowing when to protect your country, knowing when to protect your constitution, knowing when to protect your countrymen from the violations of and encroachments of adversaries and those adversaries don't have to be foreign countries. they can be bad policies. they can be officials who, you know, need a little bit more accountability. they can be mistakes of government and simple overreach and things that should never have been tried or that went wrong.
what has your relationship been to the host nation? have you met putin? have you spoken with him? >> i have no relationship with the russian government at all. i have never met the russian president. i'm not supported by the raugs governme -- russian government. i'm not taking money from the russian government. i'm not a spy. the best way to make sure, for example, the russians can't break my fingers and compromise information or hit me with a bag of money until i give them something was not to have it at all. the way to do it was by destroying material i was holding before i transited through russia.
increasing surveillance, this constant erosion and abrasion of public rights. >> correct me if i'm wrong. the arc of your life is you went from signing up for the military of after 9/11, in effect saying you were willing to die for your country to then telling people you half expected to die via abduction or assassination after what you have done in this instance. that's a pretty dramatic arc since 2003, 2004. >> i think that's actually a solid representation of the dramatic arcs that have happened within our government in the same period. do you think our government has changed since 9/11? have the policies changed? has civil engagement with the government changed? have our politics changed? are things radically different in terms of partisanship? there have been radical changes within our government.
journalist and laura poitras, a documentary filmmaker both of whom traveled to russia for our interview. in his recently published book "no place to hide" greenwald describes that moment he first met snowden in hong kong. >> what did you make of him? >> the initial impression was one of extreme confusion. because i was expecting to meet somebody in his 60s or 70s, very senior. i knew almost nothing about him prior to our arrival in hong kong. >> it was a really intimidating moment. you know, it was the most real point of no return because the minute you start talking to a journalist as an intelligence officer, on camera, there's really no going back from that. that's where it all comes together.
you checked the score? do you check it when you travel? do you check it when you're at home? they'd be able to tell something called your pattern of life. when are you doing these activities? when do you wake up? when do you go to sleep? what other phones are around you when you wake up and go to sleep? are you with someone who's not your wife? are you doing something, are you someplace you shouldn't be according to government, which is arbitrary, you know? are you engaged in any kind of activities we disapprove of, even if they aren't technically illegal? all of these things can raise your level of scrutiny. even if it seems entirely innocent to you, even if you have nothing to hide, even if you're doing nothing wrong. these activities can be misconstrued, misinterpreted and used to harm you as an individual. even without the government having any intent to do you wrong. the problem is that the capabilities, themselves, are unregulated, uncontrolled, and dangerous.

Q: User Profile Synchronization - How is deletion handled? I have an understanding of how to setup user profile synchronization but I am not sure how deletion from AD is handled in SharePoint... I understand the user's profile gets deleted as well as their mysite. How about contents created by users in other site collection within the farm? Does the content get deleted? If it stays, what value gets filled for the created/modified field?
Also items in workflow history list that is associated to the deleted user? Does that stay?
I have searched for resources in Google but haven't found anything that details the synchronization process. The following link goes into the deletion process but doesn't answer my questions:
http://www.harbar.net/archive/2011/02/10/account-deletion-and-sharepoint-2010-user-profile-synchronization.aspx
Any help will be appreciated.

A: As far as I understood the sync will delete the user from SP profile database. As far as deleting that user's mysite, contents, wp is still a manual process.

"This paper is a study of the emotional effects of shadows, found in both traditional and urban districts in Japan. In our modern, urban environments, beautiful shadows can be found in only a few townscapes. In this study, we attempt to understand what the elements of attractive or inhospitable shadows are and how they affect the ordinary person. Some examples of increasingly rare and beautiful shadows can be found in the towns built around the shrines and temples in Japan. The atmosphere is based on their exceptional compositions of architecture and their external approach to space. In these places, beautiful shadows are formed by unseen patterns that take into account the cultural climate. Some examples are the gentle light created by the illumination of paper, and other amiable shadows produced by organic substances such as trees and wooden houses. Shadows and light can deepen a space and transform the atmosphere of a place. Faint and dusky shadows create a realm of mystery and remind us of the ties we have to the past. These shadows are very important in creating traditional Japanese spaces. It is felt that shadows sould be re-evaluated for the possibility they offer in shaping the metamorphosis of our increasingly modern townscapes to give them a more human, more life-enhancing quality. As modern materials and architecture are turned into "modern" buildings, towns, and cities, the metamorphosis of the townscapes we inhabit continues without letup. Even though new materials are used, can we nonetheless recapture a townscape with the same kinds of beautiful shadows as are found in traditional settings? Pictures of shadows can be used as a representative models distilled from the essence of the townscape. Modern and historic townscapes might be linked together by means of their common media, that is, the shadows. If so, the essence of the culture can continue on into the future. The question to be considered is whether or not the traditional essences can be woven into the ongoing metamorphosis of the images found in our cities and towns. In this paper, some characteristic of shadows were identified by performing psychological experiments. The shadows used in our research came from the traditional districts in and around the temples of Kyoto and from the cityscape of the contemporary urban districts around Kyoto and Osaka. These shadows are classified by image analysis and their features are compared and summarized."

The Trial of Biden v. Reade
So here's a moment for our nation. We've got Trump. 'Nough said. We've got a pandemic. And now we have a presumed Democratic nominee for the presidency facing an accusation that he committed rape by foreign object (digital penetration) in 1993. The accuser's name is Tara Reade, then a staffer for then-Senator Biden, since a lawyer. The press and the women's movement were embarrassingly late to address the issue, and nobody particularly hides the fact that the reason is obvious–the accused, that's their, with some exceptions to be sure, pick to eject Trump from the office he has defiled for the entirety of his term.
Finally, the story's importance could be ignored no longer, and Biden, after two weeks or more of silence, was forced to submit to an interview on the subject by Mika Brezinski. Interestingly, the principal embarrassment on the part of the press came from the quantity of interviews given by Biden during which not one question about the accusation was asked. At any rate, he denied the accusation and what passed for an examination of him by Ms. Brezinski devolved to her insistence that all of his records, wherever they reside, be searched for the name Tara Reade, an idea that the former Vice President was not happy with. He leaned on the possibility that privileged conversations with foreign leaders might be divulged, or that some papers might contain material that could be taken out of context and used against him in the campaign, the real horrible (Trump-involved) part of which has yet to begin.
The suggested search should certainly be conducted, but it is hardly essential in a search for truth for the people's purposes at this moment. Because we can have a trial, or an approximation of one, simply using what we know from the public record. #METOO has taught us how to evaluate sexual assault and harassment claims that did not arise at the time of the event. And, as opposed to what some commentators have suggested, the teaching is not to "Believe women." More aptly, it is precisely what the accused in this instance has suggested: Women who come forward and subject themselves to the scrutiny of national focus should be presumed to be relating an event the essence of which is real. The notion is that the reasons for keeping quiet at the time, fear of reprisal by a powerful man and fear for one's career, not to mention the discomfort attendant all sexual allegations, combine to excuse the uncertainties that naturally accompany other non-sexual accusations made years after an event. Women do not come forward given all the horrors that come with it, unless they are telling a truth.
But that is simply the presumption. As Biden rightly says in his interview, the matter needs to be looked into and examined. Here the principal question has to do with corroboration. Did the accuser actually experience something that resulted in her complaining to SOMEONE at the time, for example. It is absurd to think that a person would complain falsely at the time in order to have ammunition against a powerful person when it might mean something 20+ years later.
In this regard, Ms. Brezinski was missing in action since she mentioned none of what could be considered corroboration in the case of Reade vs. Biden. But we can still have our trial, as was possible in the "Morning Joe" show two days ago. It might have gone something like this:
Vice President Biden, obviously a proper investigation in this case and some sort of hearing or trial that would allow the American people to come to their own conclusions concerning these allegations against you is not possible. I would like to do my part in pursuit of truth by exploring what the world knows from the public record.
To start, you agree that you employed Tara Reade as a staffer for a period of time around 1993 where at some point she supervised interns working in your office, correct?
According to you, you are unaware of any complaints she had concerning your conduct at the time, is that true?
You first became aware of some complaint by her a year or so ago when she and seven or so other women publicly complained of your physical treatment of them, your invasion of their space, if you will, uncomfortable, unwanted touching and the like, correct?
And as I understand it from your public declarations, you agree that her criticisms and those of the other women were entirely reasonable; which is to say you acknowledge that the conduct of which she complained was inappropriate.
Now, concerning the alleged assault in 1993, you acknowledge that she complained about your conduct toward her to some friends and family, more or less contemporaneously, and mentioned it again in 1995; is that right?
You are further aware that Tara Reade's mother called Larry King on television in 1994 and made reference to her daughter's complaint.
These matters are some of what determines the credibility of a survivor, corroboration in the form of a contemporaneous complaint, correct?
You, as a politician have promoted the understandings that survivors don't always come forward to authorities at the time for a variety of reasons, including fears for their careers as well as possible reprisal by a powerful abuser.
In addition, you are aware of the fact that the difficulty of the subject matter means that the full sum and substance of what happened is not necessarily presented at once, but may take years for the survivor to handle emotionally?
And you are famous for your declaration that someone in Tara Reade's position should be presumed truthful as she puts forth her complaint now.
You were once a public defender, and have been involved in criminal justice concerns for decades, right?
So you are familiar with the fact that denial on the part of the accused is not, and cannot be, dispositive of anything? Not every one, but every kind of criminal has denied wrongdoing dishonestly, true?
And it is also an established fact that the manner of the denial, the forcefulness, its articulation, cannot be the end of any inquiry, because all of that can be faked and learned and practiced, correct?
As a further piece of corroboration to which Ms. Reade's supporters refer is the fact that her job of supervising interns changed abruptly at the time of the allegation. That must be considered corroborative, do you not agree?
A record of her complaining, apparently, according to her, about mistreatment due to an uncomfortable work environment, would not add a lot to what we know already, correct? She does not say she complained of sexual assault, chickening out from such a complaint at the time, as you understand it, correct?
Whatever record exists would be unnecessary given the fact of her contemporaneous complaints of an unofficial nature, you agree?
You acknowledge already that her duties changed precipitously, as the interns have recently asserted?
Now, if there were some sort of official complaint, of whatever nature, that should have been preserved, there are reasons for its potential improper removal, correct? With or without your approval, some person could have taken steps in an effort to protect your political future? You agree with that?
The unfortunate fact is that Tara Reade's accusation passes all of the tests of a past complaint of sexual misconduct, that make it believable, would you agree? And were it not you, but someone else, wouldn't you say that their simply denying the accusation should not be sufficient to answer the question or end the inquiry.
Would you agree that the only explanation for Ms. Reade subjecting herself to the kind of scrutiny she is undergoing, if this allegation is false, is mental illness. And you know of no evidence of pathological delusion on her part.
Some have pointed to out-of-the-mainstream views concerning Russia or Putin as evidence that she should not be believed, you are aware of those attacks on her credibility? You don't adopt them do you?
You acknowledge that strange or uncommon views on world events or personalities do not, and should not, make unworthy of belief the sort of complaint made against you. People with unusual opinions are entirely capable of being victims of sexual assault, right?
Further, she is a lawyer in good standing presumptively worthy of belief, whose complaint, you agree, pre-exists any statements or writings on twitter or elsewhere to which reference has been made by your defenders, isn't that right?
You agree that a person's general tendency towards telling the truth should be part of an assessment of their allegation of sexual assault, or their denial of sexual assault, correct?
With regard to your denial we are forced to consider a number of matters in your history. For example, you were forced out of a presidential race in 1988 because of false statements about your academic record and at least two instances of plagiarism, true?
You have acknowledged that your vote for the Iraq War was a mistake, but you have claimed to have been opposed to that war from the moment it started. There are multiple instances of you promoting the military action after its commencement, aren't there, calling into question the veracity of your more recent public pronouncements made in pursuit of the presidency?
Your statements about your support for cutting social security have also been untrue and the subject of criticism have they not? Your claims of having marched in the civil rights movement, and being arrested in South Africa have also been scrutinized for a lack of veracity? And you have admitted and apologized for not telling the truth concerning these matters, true?
And I am sorry to have to bring it up, but you apologized after his death and to his family for having said that the driver of the truck involved in the accident that led to the deaths of your family members had drunk his lunch when that was not only false but he was entirely blameless in the event. That is true is it not?
And you are ultimately responsible for attempting to mislead the investigation into this very complaint by submitting to people such as Stacy Abrams talking points for their media appearances that falsely cited the New York Times as having deeply investigated the allegations and found them to be untrue, a patently dishonest assertion.
Were you personally the impetus behind the inclusion of that false idea in those talking points? Or was that the effort of some staffer trying to protect your political viability now as another may well have 27 years ago, or since, if no record of Ms. Reade's complaint is found in your archived documents?
I think it unlikely that Joe Biden would ever agree to such an examination, because these questions contain the most damning amalgamation of evidence, every piece of which is part of the public record. What is demonstrated here is that while Tara Reade should be presumed to be telling the truth in the first instance, there is no reason that can be produced by Joe Biden not to conclude that he raped her as she has claimed.
As a strategic matter, it may be impossible not to vote for Biden if his name is on the ballot in November. There is another matter with which Democrats are confronted right now, however. Each of us must demand that Joe Biden step down from the presidential campaign for the good of the nation. It may well be impossible to predict what the ticket will look like should he do this, but there is not the slightest question that the country will be better off with his replacement…unless it is Hillary Clinton.

Cliff Bleszinski explains why LawBreakers is not coming on Xbox One
By Faheem Haydar On Jun 21, 2017
Lawbreakers is the new big bet of Cliff Bleszinski, a well-known designer who participated in the creation of the Gears of War saga and that will be launched in August on PS4 and PC. Why there is not an edition for Xbox One? The project manager explained this in a recent interview with IGN.
"Xbox fanboys got really salty at me on Twitter, like, 'It's like you're turning your back on the box that built your career with Gears. And I'm like, not necessarily, because my first priority to me is my employees. I have 65 employees, many of whom have families, and I need to keep the lights on," Bleszinski says.
Bleszinski links the decision not to launch Lawbreakers on Xbox One to a matter of resources: "When we looked at the fact that we could only ship on one console initially, PlayStation has the huge install base."
The designer says that this "doesn't mean that we can't do an Xbox version later, or Xbox XOXO, or whatever they're calling it these days," but at the moment they had to make a decision according to the real possibilities of their new studio, BossKey Productions, to market their first project in the market.
Therefore, although the title has not been officially announced, owners of an Xbox One still have the possibility of receiving the unprecedented production of one of the most influential sagas of the seventh generation.
Lawbreakers is a multiplayer team action game with heroes, each with their own special abilities and game styles, and focused on franticism and the use of gravity for matches.

Surge arresters OPS1 (Surge protection devices) are intended for protecting internal distribution networks of residential and public building from lightning and surge overvoltages.
OPS1 surge arresters were awarded gold medal of the 21st International Exhibition "Electro-2012" in nomination "Best electrical equipment of 2012" for their high quality characteristics.
Protection from direct lightning strikes into the building's or electricity transmission line's lightning protection system. OPS1 are installed at the entrance into electrical distribution panels or main distribution boards.
Protection of power distribution networks from switching disturbances or installation as a second protection stage in case of lightning strikes. OPS1 is installed into electrical distribution panels.
Consumer protection from residual voltage surges, residual (irregular) overvoltages as well as high frequency interference filtering. OPS1 is installed directly near the consumer.
Boosted reliability at the expense of lowering dissipated power.
Improved rating of residual voltage arising at surge overvoltage.
High fire safety ratings ensured by the integrated thermal protection of enhanced reliability.
4 - fuse element (thermal protection). Improved fire safety ensured by the enhanced reliability of integrated thermal protection.
Boosted reliability because of lowering dissipated power (per 15–20%) at the expense of excluding transient resistance in the separable termination of interchangeable module and the device's casing. Notches on terminal clamps prevent overheating and wire breaks at the expense of more dense and spacious contact. It also helps to lower transient resistance and, therefore, losses. Boosted mechanical wear resistance of connection.
Rotating mechanism of operation indicator provides for avoiding indication faults. Possibility of double simultaneous connection both with a bus (PIN, FORK) and flexible conductors having up to 25 mm2 in section.
DIN rail latch with a double fixed position for the convenience of mounting.


Question: When I commit a sin, I delay repentance on the grounds that I may commit it again later. Is there anything wrong with delaying repentance? In order to make repentance, does it suffice to say only "I repent"?
3. One must make a heartfelt promise not to do that sin again in the future. Allahu ta'ala has promised that He will accept repentance if it meets the conditions set for it.
Question: Is it another sin not to repent of a sin or to delay repentance?
Question: It is said, "If repentance is delayed for one hour, the sin will double." It is also said, "When one commits a sin, angels do not record it until three hours pass. If one does not make repentance during this period of time, then it will be recorded." What is the fine distinction between these two statements?
When an hour passes without repentance after a sin, that sin grows. However, if one repents of it within three hours, no sin will be recorded. If one does not repent of it within three hours, the sin will be doubled and will be recorded as twofold.

It's nice to have a good neighbor willing to cat-sit while you're away, but if you're neighbors are not cat people, or your trip is scheduled to be extra long, consider leaving your cat at Happy Tails. At Happy Tails your cat will receive almost a much love and affection as they get at home, and you won't have to worry about the neighbor forgetting to clean the litter box.
Good morning, good morning good morning! Whether your feline friend is ready to be social yet or not breakfast is served around 8:00am. Science Diet cat food is Happy Tails' choice cat food, but if you have a picky eater feel free to bring in their favorite cat food or cat treats.
First things first, all cat cages are cleaned first thing in the morning. Everyone's litter box is emptied and each cat is fed and given fresh water.
After breakfast and the morning maintenance each cat has an opportunity to get out of their cage for awhile. Cats are let out separately so there's no need to worry about any personality clashes. Throughtout the day and depending on the number of cats at the facility, and your cats temperament they will spend anywhere from an hour to almost all day roaming around outside of their cage. Those with a friendly personality find this to be a great time to get that extra affection they've been missing since you've been gone.
Around 9:00pm there's a chance for one more quick stretch and snuggle and then it's lights out.
Can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!

Stormy Daniels' Attorney Michael Avenatti Arrested For Domestic Violence
||| @backroomspin | Twitter/Franklin County Sheriff |||
The attorney who represented the pornstar Stormy Daniels as well as Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's accuser has been arrested Wednesday. Ironically, Avenatti capitalized on crimes against women including the crimes alleged by Christine Blasey Ford yet he himself was arrested for domestic violence. Blasey later came forward to renounce her claims that Supreme Court of the United States Brett Kavanaugh and admitted they were false.
The entire Christine Blasey Ford scandal was revealed to be an attempt to discredit Trump's SCOTUS nominee. In fact, Blasey Ford is still receiving cash through GoFundMe accounts set up by other people to support her attempt to derail Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court. There are currently nearly $1 million dollars spread across two crowdfunding accounts intended for Blasey Ford.

Avenatti in Police Custody After Domestic Violence Accusation https://t.co/3NivTdC9XL pic.twitter.com/YLPJbrxabg
— (@BernieElla3) November 14, 2018

Avenatti was arrested after an encounter Tuesday with his estranged wife prompting her to call the police. The LA Times reported that an LAPD public information officer confirmed that a man was arrested for a domestic violence incident Tuesday but would not confirm it was Avenatti.
Related coverage: Avenatti Considering Run For White House, Warns Of "Brutal Campaign" in 2020
The LAPD public information officer said the man's ID will be released after booking and as of Wednesday afternoon, Avenatti still does not show in the jail roster. It is unclear if he already bonded out or if he is yet to be formally put through the lengthy booking process which will then need to be updated on the LAPD website.
The 47-year-old scumbag represented porn star Storm Daniels in her legal battle against Trump once he became president because she wanted more money. The initial $130,000 she was paid was not enough to keep her silent and when the money ran out her lips loosed quickly. Daniels was legally obligated not to speak of the encounter with Trump due to an agreement which included a $130,000 payoff.
When Daniels tried to sue the president on the grounds that the NDA was invalid but she lost. A federal judge dismissed Daniels' defamation lawsuit and was ordered to pay Trump's legal fees.
Related coverage: Christine Ford Has No Further Plans To Pursue Allegations Against Brett Kavanaugh - Surprised?
The tweet which Daniels' claims defamed her was sent out on April 18, 2018, by President Trump. In the tweet, he wrote, "A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2018

Thankfully, the judge had enough wisdom to see through the extortion attempt by Daniels and Avenatti. Maybe Stormy will take some of her "hard earned" GoFundMe donations and help Avenatti bail out of jail and help him with his legal fees. The pair is a match made in hell.

Hampton Emergency Squad
Serving Hampton, Glen Gardner, and parts of Bethlehem and Lebanon Townships for over 50 years
Incidents / Activities
Squad History
In 1955, the Hampton Fire Company selected one of its members, Gilbert Riddle, to organize an emergency squad. With the backing of the Fire Company, the present squad became operational in 1956. The Fire Company purchased the first ambulance, which was housed in the firehouse until the squad's permanent facilities were completed. On August 6, 1966 the dedication of the permanent home of the Emergency Squad took place.
The Hampton Emergency Squad incorporated itself in 1976, becoming independent of the Fire Company, however its name did not change. In January of 1978, the squad established an auxiliary membership. This membership is made up of people who wish to help the Hampton Fire Company Emergency Squad in its endeavors to provide the finest in first aid protection.
A new GMC crash truck was purchased in 1978. It was specially equipped with four-wheel drive and quartz spotlights for better lighting during accidents and fires. The crash truck now operated by the fire co is still in service today. The old 1968 Cadillac ambulance was replaced in 1982 by a Braun ambulance, and was later used as a service vehicle. A Ford Horton ambulance was purchased in 1987 and has since been replaced by a 2001 Ford Horton Ambulance, in 1992 another Ford Horton ambulance was added. In 2004 a Ford Expedition first responder vehicle was purchased. The squad now operates a total of 2 ambulances and a first responder vehicle.
An additional bay was added to the building in 1979 to provide storage of emergency vehicles and equipment. The Hampton Emergency Squad dedicated their building to the memory of Charles Tampier and William Deemer in 1982 in recognition of their exceptional service to our squad and community. Construction of the second story addition began in September 1985. After many long hours of planning sessions, the building committee and the community saw the fruits of their labor come to completion in 1986.
The members of the Hampton Emergency Squad are committed to providing the latest in pre-hospital emergency medical care to the community. All members are certified Emergency Medical Technicians who continuously train and refresh their skills through drills and classroom experience. All members are able to provide defibrillation to a patient in cardiac arrest, increasing the probability of survival dramatically.

Le pays à mon goût
Vertès' second erotic album in two years, Le pays à mon goût (A Country to my Taste), contains twelve engravings covering a wide range of subjects similar to those of his first album, L'heure exquise. His particular brand of humour is again to the fore in prints such as 'Schönbrunn' (the Viennese palace which during the reign of the Habsburg queen Maria Theresa became the glittering focus of court life) – this and 'Henri VIII' also include a nod to Thomas Rowlandson's erotic prints.
Le pays à mon goût also shows Vertès experimenting more with colour, 'Pipi macabre' ('A macabre piss') being a good example.
Le pays à mon goût was produced in a limited edition of 250 copies; as with L'heure exquise, many portfolios were later separated, making complete sets increasingly rare.

Hi there, I have sooo many paintings in my studio and I think from time to time I will post one here at a reduced price. This was in my studio for $160 but I am offering it here for $130 and that includes shipping. I will ship anywhere within the continental US. This is oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas and framed in a 3" solid wood frame with a gold leaf finish that is crackled and glazed, the painting is wired and ready to hang on your wall. This is a sweet little beach scene with two little girls playing in the water. Email me with any questions at barbarapask@zoomtown.com You can purchase this using the paypal button or contact me and I would accept a check if you don't mind waiting for it to clear. Sorry there is a bit of glare.
Hi! Several weeks ago I participated in an event called Paint the Town in Loveland, Ohio. I know I posted about it but I don't think I showed you any of my completed work. I painted 2 paintings and this is one of those. This is oil on a 11 x 14 Raymar panel. I took photos and got started on this at home, setting up my sketch with thin paint. I spent several more hours standing on the curb in Loveland, in the sun, fighting the bees to complete this, lol. The wet paint sale was not well attended with only a few sales, such a shame. I always enjoy painting there. Loveland is a busy town in the summer, a bike trail goes right through it and there are cafes that have tables outside with wonderful colorful umbrellas.
Spent yesterday in Middletown Ohio painting on the street, still working on my large triptych for October, I'll share that with you eventually.
Hi there, This is a commission, a cute little business in Lebanon Ohio. I met the very nice gal that owns this shop while demonstrating at the Warren County Arts Festival. This is oil on a 11 x 14 Raymar panel. I took it to a place where I was pleased with it and then took it to her to see if she wanted any changes made. She was happy with it just where it is, woo hoo. So after a bit of drying time and a coat of Re-touch varnish, back in the frame and I will deliver it to her.
Hi Everyone, I completed this recently and submitted it today to our local arts festival. This is oil on a 11 x 14 Raymar panel. The background color is unusual for me and I ended up custom ordering a frame for it that I liked. The festival isn't until September but the deadline for submissions was coming up soon.
I just finished a commission of a frozen custard shop, I think I am finished, lol. I am taking it up tomorrow for final approval. Really hoping I don't have to start making little changes now but you never know.
Also I am working on a triptych, a series of three stretched canvases with a city scene, having a great time with this one.
Having quite the heat wave here, we are under a heat advisory. Once the heat lets up I'll be back outside to paint. I must admit the older I get the harder it is to tolerate heat or really cold temps. I just want it perfect all the time, lol. Good luck, right?
Hi there, I painted this a few nights ago from a set up, one of my new copper pots and some sweet daisies. This is oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas.
I painted outside today on the street in Middletown, Ohio, that is the town where our new studio space is. Met a lot of nice people and a few strange ones, lol. One gal wanted to know if I was going to hang my painting on the outside of the building I was painting, lol. Why would you think that?? I love the people that tease you about painting them in your painting, I have noticed that it is usually men. It was the perfect day to be out, I loved it.
Hello, I painted this one a while back, it is oil on a 8 x 10 Raymar panel. I purchase the smooth cotton in the Raymar panels and love them. I do paint frequently on a stretched canvas but I love this firm surface too. Lots of texture in this one, I used a palette knife on a lot of it.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July, I have about 30 people coming for a picnic. Really hoping for dry weather, we have had a crazy wet summer.

"Our vision – Ireland where ecosystems are flourishing and biodiversity is thriving"
Help protect and preserve these Wild Acres.
Donated by Eileen Coyne.
Salrock, Connemara, Co.Galway.
The Connemara land contains many distinct ecosystems from wet heath and rocky outcrops to native woodland. This land with its small ancient oak woodland is home to the yellow orchid and the large marsh grasshopper and much more. Steps are being taken to enrich this bountiful biodiversity that is such an important part of Wild Acres in Connemara.
Donated by Sisters of Mercy, Southern Province.
Páirc a'Tobair, Rosscarbery, Co. Cork.
This is a rich and diverse Wild Acre site, comprising young woodland, meadow, wet woodland, wet meadow and pond life with potential for immense biodiversity growth. In time, this site will develop into an ideal valley woodland, supporting a wide range of plants, birds, mammals and insect species. Major steps have been taken to increase the site's biodiversity value and nature preservation potential.
Donated by David Rowe, RIP.
Red Bog, Co.Carlow.
This land, in the form of five fields, is species-rich grassland and has a raised boundary bank of furze bushes, with a stream bordering one side. The land and its rich organic garden is being allowed to thrive in all its biodiversity for posterity. Green Sod Ireland's main function is to continue to support nature to take its course and as a result the land is teeming with wildlife, (flora and fauna).
Donated by Marion Jackson.
Arderry, Co Cavan.
Comprising a large habitat area in the 10 interlinked grassland fields, there is an abundance of native tree and hedgerow species. The different features, diversity of flowering and fruiting times, of the hedgerows on this land are important because many species use them. The older hedges contain amounts of dead wood and plant litter within its structure – these provide valuable habitats for invertebrates, which in turn attract predators such as hedgehogs, birds and bats. Our best practice management is crucial to the maintenance of these healthy hedgerows, so vital to wildlife and biodiversity.
Donated by Dennis and Doreen O'Connor.
Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.
A small native woodland consisting of oak, birch, Scots pine, and willow trees, ferns, ivy, wood sage and more. Work is beginning now to ascertain the biodiversity of the area and what management practices need to be put in place to enhance and strengthen the health and well being of the ecosystem.
Donated by The Sisters of Mercy, Northern Province.
Kinnego, Co. Donegal
The land at Meenletterbale, Inishowen, Co. Donegal was gifted to Green Sod Ireland in 2019.
Most of the area north of the road which divides the land is comprised of the most celebrated of Ireland's peatlands; an upland blanket bog and scrub mosaic, which over time will be restored to good conservation status. These upland blanket bogs are characterised by the presence of ling heather (Calluna vulgaris), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). Species included Yorkshire fog, creeping thistle, creeping buttercup and redshank, perennial ryegrass, crested dog's-tail, white clover and soft rush. Scrub vegetation is composed of gorse, hazel, trees such as ash, willow and sycamore, and low shrubs mixed with grasses and herbs.
Two small streams flow through the site, with hedgerows and trees offering covering for native species. This magnificent land has huge biodiversity potential and is a very significant first Wild Acres in Donegal.

National Doctor's Day! Lets Celebrate the Profession!
Medic-ALL (03:30:2015) PROFESSION
Its National Doctors Day today, the 30th of March in the U.S and there truly is a lot to celebrate about the profession that makes it absolutely necessary to have a day set aside Doctors to reflect on the evolution of medicine and appreciate the quality of physician care today.
Doctors have come a long way from the ancient healers they once were thousands of years ago. The profession has survived many transformations with the unfailing commitment to maintaining and improving human health.
The U.S. Senate and House officially declared March 30 as National Doctor's Day in 1990, however, it's been celebrated for decades longer, according to the National Doctor's Day website. In 1933, Dr. Charles B. Almond's wife Eudora recognized the dedication, discipline, and aptitude that was required of her husband and his colleagues every day in their practice.
The Wonders You Call Doctors
When you feel sick or in pain, whether it's the body or mind, you seek doctors to restore you back to health. Doctors improve the quality and length of life through helping to manage and defeat the many diseases and conditions that plague people all over the world. Doctors reassure and empathize with the "sickest" of patients and comfort those in the most broken conditions. It has to be one of the most difficult jobs anywhere in the world.
There are challenges facing the world of medicine and particularly doctors today especially as It concerns certain medical conditions with no known cure, but such challenges can only demand more of medicine.It has taken thousands of years to accumulate the knowledgd doctors have today, and modern medicine will continue to improve and ensure a better living and healthier future.

Is Sex Bringing Ebola Back?
Medic-ALL (03:29:2014) -DISEASE
Its been a year long outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus and whilst the whole world looked back at the losses and lessons from the epidemic this past year, the virus appears to be making an unheralded comeback.
On Friday, in Liberia (one of the hardest hit countries alongside Sierra Leone and Guinea) , a 44 year old victim of the deadly virus was reported dead. There are indications that the new case may have occured via sexual transmission from a survivor she was said to be dating. Additional tests are being carried out to confirm this.
Research has shown traces of Ebolacan remain in the semen of some survivors for at least 82 days after the onset of symptoms. There is no conclusive scientific proof these traces are infectious. But anecdotal evidence in the latest case, and several others in West Africa, along with and confirmed transmission of Marburg, another viral hemorrhagic fever, have led experts to warn of the potential risk of sexually transmitted Ebola.
The World Health Organization, as a precautionary measure, advises Ebola survivors to abstain from sex during a 90-day period following recovery. At the very least, they should practice safe sex.
The case threatens to undermine the country's efforts to end a year long outbreak which has claimed over 10,300 lives across the African continent.
The country was on it's way to completing a 42-days period without a new case of the disease, which is necessary to declare the country free of the disease when it recorded the recent case.
Ebola continues to spread in Africa, though not as bad as it was some months ago. 79 new cases were reported last week.
Though, it was known that Ebola was largely transmitted through body fluids of close contacts, no case of transmission via sex had been previously documented.

Getting into U.S Residency: Experience That Counts
Medic-ALL 03:20:2015
Yet another matching season is rounding up and while many medical graduates are celebrating their acceptance into residency programs across the United States, a good number are left to wonder what went wrong with their application and were they might have missed it.
It is now common knowledge to Foriegn medical graduates pursuing residency programs in the U.S that matching into a U.S residency program depends mostly on good USMLE scores, visa status and U.S clinical experience (USCE)
There's no doubt that US clinical experience or USCE, is a vital part of the residency application. As a bonus, your USCE can also provide another valuable boost to your application, in the form of strong letters of recommendation. But many applicants find themselves overwhelmed or confused when trying to decide what type of experience will boost their application.

10 Competitors Who Boast the Best Shoulders in Bodybuilding
Big shoulders are eye-catching and complete a physique. Here are 10 bodybuilders who have top-tier delts.
Written by Roger Lockridge
In bodybuilding, every muscle matters. But the first grouping of muscle fibers that catch most folks' eyes is the shoulders. Also known as the deltoids, these muscles represent the widest point of a physique for most competitors. Broad shoulders draw the eyes up and create the V-shape that most athletes covet by flowing down into a tight waist.
Like any pro-level show, all competitors have large muscles and sharp conditioning. So what sets one pair of deltoids apart from another? Elite shoulders are both broad and defined. They flow seamlessly into the chest and back, presenting even roundness across the front, lateral, and rear heads.
What follows is a list of 10 competitive bodybuilders who are truly head and shoulders above the competition.
Yaxeni Oriquen
Coming from Venezuela, Yaxeni Oriquen was one of the most prominent female bodybuilders in the sport in the mid-2000's. She would weigh in the 160-pound range onstage when she competed against the likes of Lenda Murray and Iris Kyle. Her best performance was when she won the 2005 Ms. Olympia title.
A post shared by Yaxeni Oriquen (@yaxenita)
When Oriquen faced the crowd, her side delts were the most prominent part of her physique. They looked even better when she performed any side pose. Her front and rear delts were great, but her width was Oriquen's strongest asset. They even stood out at the 2020 Ms. Olympia when she returned to the stage after a three-year absence. She finished that contest in 13th place (Andrea Shaw won that year).
Lee Haney
Lee Haney would display his width as soon as he took the stage at any show he entered. Whether he was standing to the front, side, or facing away from the judges, all three heads of the deltoids stood out. He would also slightly turn his physique so the fans on all sides could see what he brought to the stage.
Haney's complete physique won him eight straight Mr. Olympia titles from 1984 to 1991. Many fans feel that Haney's shoulders were his greatest attribute. His rear delts (and traps) resulted from his version of the behind-the-back barbell shrug, where he would bend the elbows to bring the bars even higher for a greater rear delt contraction.
The late Nasser El Sonbaty was one of the mass monsters of the 1990s and early 2000s. He was considered an annual threat to the Mr. Olympia title throughout his career. Many felt he should've been the champion in 1997 over six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates. His shoulder development in particular overpowered every other competitor in the lineup. This fact holds true at the 1999 Arnold Classic.
The front delts on the man from Egypt could be seen in all of his front and side poses. To build his deltiods, El Sonbaty was a big advocate of seated dumbbell presses, sometimes going with heavy weight for as low as four reps. He also performed heavy lateral raises to maximize his width.
The man who followed in Yates' footsteps as Mr. Olympia was Ronnie Coleman. The former Texas police officer may have had a pair of the biggest and strongest shoulders in the sport. His 2003 video The Cost of Redemption demonstrated this when he shoulder-pressed 160-pound dumbbells for six reps.
At 5'11", Coleman weighed 295 pounds onstage at his peak. He would guest pose at over 300 pounds in the offseason. The width and fullness of his delts were too much for any competitor he faced in his prime. Coleman logged 26 pro wins and eight Olympia titles on his mantle by the end of his career.
"The Big Bad Wolf" hails from Germany, and even though he never won the Olympia, has had a very successful career. Wolf accumulated six pro wins and placed in the top five of the Olympia seven times. This was thanks in part to his most muscular shot, which prominently displayed all three heads of his delts astonshingly well. The German's traps were great assets as well.
Wolf's signature victory was the 2014 Arnold Classic, where he weighed around 260 pounds in pre-judging. Aside from his wide shoulders, he also had a tight waist at that contest, which made him appear even wider. Wolf retired in 2018 after undergoing neck surgery.
Jay Cutler
Coleman's greatest rival was undoubtedly Jay Cutler, who would ultimately take the title of Mr. Olympia from him in 2006. Cutler couldn't match Coleman's overall size in his prime, but the shoulder development of the Massachusetts native compared well with Coleman in the later years of his eight-year run atop the sport.
A post shared by Mr Olympia Jay Cutler (@jaycutler)
Once Cutler ascended to the throne of the sport, his width and thickness were unmatched. His rivals had to focus on other parts of their physiques to stand a chance against him. Cutler employed free weight movements at the beginning of his career, but he liked machine presses as his main shoulder builder in the second half of his career (mainly because machines are thought of as less stressful on your joints compared to barbells and dumbbells).
When it comes to non-heavyweight bodybuilders, Flex Lewis ranks as among the most successful in history. The seven-time Olympia 212 champion packed a lot of muscle on his 5'5" frame. Like Cutler, Lewis prefers machines for training. He and coach Neil Hill use different rep ranges to help him develop the 3D look that he presents in contests.
For reps, Lewis may go as low as six reps or as high as 20 in some cases. Fans wonder how big those delts will be when Lewis eventually competes in the Open division, which he pledged to do after his final Olympia 212 win in 2018. As of 2021, Lewis has yet to compete in the Men's Open division.
Steve Kuclo
Kuclo is one of the largest active pros in the sport. When he competed onstage at the 2021 Texas Pro, he weighed 290 pounds. He finished second to Iain Valliere at that contest. No part of his physique could be considered a "weakness," but his delts are definitely among his strengths. Your eyes are drawn to him in stage shots as well as images from photoshoots.
Kuclo has won six pro shows in his career. His front lat spread, side chest, and hands-on-hips most muscular poses are among his best, and the delts serve him well in each of those.
Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay
The 2020 and 2021 Mr. Olympia is known for his large quads and big arms, but his shoulders are also great attributes. "Big Ramy" advocates using a full range of motion when he trains.
A post shared by Mr Olympia Big Ramy (@big_ramy)
Working with training coach Dennis James, Elssbiay will use a lighter weight if it helps him target the muscle more effectively. This could be why his shoulders look so round when he stands on stage. It's hard to argue with the results when two world titles are in the conversation.
Margie Martin
Andrea Shaw has been considered the face of women's bodybuilding since the Ms. Olympia returned in 2020, but "Marvelous" Margie Martin may have the best shoulders of any active competitor. Her front delts are clearly separated from the chest. Her side delts stand out when she hits any side shot, and her rear delts are prominently displayed when she showcases her back.
Those shoulders may have been a key to her two Rising Phoenix world titles in 2015 and 2016. They are also why the Georgia athlete has placed in the top three of the Ms. Olympia since its reemergence. Her detailed development makes her a threat in any contest she enters.

I hate doing housework. I hate trying to make my children do housework. But I know first-hand the damage that is done if we don't teach our children to have a good work ethic when it comes to chores.
My mom grew up having to work hard. She had three sisters and one brother, and they all had to work to keep the family farm afloat. So when my mom had my sister and I, she didn't want us to have to work as hard as she did growing up. She wanted us to enjoy being children. She saw our homework as our "chore." Long story short, my dad changed the sheets on my bed every Sunday until I left home for college. I never washed my clothes until I went to college (Mom had to give me a cheat sheet of how to wash everything). I was never made to do anything other than help my mom dust every Saturday.
Fast forward to today, I am a 33 year-old woman with three children, and I am finally having to learn how to keep a home. Pathetic...totally. Catastrophic...some days. Impossible...Not according to Philippians 4:13. Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, I know that I do not want my children, boy or girl, to not know how to keep a home. To learn from me that you need to do the necessary things to be able to enjoy the fun things. To know that even if you don't like to do something, it doesn't mean you get a pass. To understand that with everyone pitching in, an insurmountable job becomes managable.
Do the thing that you hate doing first! For me, that would be folding and putting away the laundry or doing the dishes, but I've noticed if I get those done first then they are not hanging over my head all day (which usually means they don't get done at all!).
Use a timer. This is especially useful for cleaning with your kids. I did this all day long with my girls Saturday (Monkey is not much of a cleaner yet). We set the timer for 45 minutes and worked like crazy on one room at a time. When the timer went off, we took a 15 minute break to do whatever we liked. After the 15 minutes, we did another 45 minute work session. Just a tip to make sure that they come back after the 15 minute break, I tell them that whoever is last back to the work area has to stay an extra 10 minutes the next time to keep working. I always make sure that I am the last one back, but they race like crazy to make sure it's not them. Easy way to get willing workers!
Punish whining and complaining with extra work. Ask Chipette why we don't whine, and this is what you will hear, "Do all thing without grumbling or complaining, Philippians 2:14." She's my whiner, every family's got one, so she's heard this verse A LOT growing up. But Chipette knows if she whines when I ask her to help with something around the house, mom can always find another little something that needs to be done :) Magpie's problem is persistance once she's started the job, very willing, but horrible follow through.
Show your children how to clean. If you want your children to grow up to be a good housekeeper, you will have to take the time to train them. Is it easier to clean their room yourself when you can have it done in 15 minutes? YES! Is that helping your child any to learn how to clean their room? NO! Take the time to work on one chore at a time until they have it mastered. For example, Magpie (who's 4) can make her bed, put her toys away, fold clothes, set the table for dinner, and feed the goldfish because I took the time to teach her those things.
Model an industrious spirit. This is hands-down the hardest for me. My children are watching me and your children are watching you. If they see me leave my belongings out instead of putting them in their proper place, guess what my kids will do? If they see me reading, watching TV, or on the computer when there are chores that need doing, what are my kids going to do when it's time to do their chores? If your kids see that you are working hard to keep the home running efficiently, then they will be much more likely to pitch in and help. Children, and adults for that matter, will not tolerate hypocrisy.
Hopefully I've mentioned something to help you out or just to encourage you as you train your children. Most of you are probably thinking, "That's pretty sad she didn't already know this stuff." :) My motives are pretty selfish actually. One day my kid might marry your kid and wouldn't we like to go visit them in a nice, clean house!


He who has no head.
There lives a man who has no head. A man with a blank stare, a stranger to all the rest. This man feels a symphony of emotion, yet he denies them power over him. He sits with no head and gazes out into the world, staring out onto things with stoic indifference. His mind races with thought, just like all minds do, but this thought holds no power over him. This man is a stoic, external events bother him less because of the power that lies within the neutral judgement of things; neutral judgement permits external things no power over him, for how can they? How can rain perturb the emotions of a man if he wishes no for dryness or wetness? How can anxiety grip a man who has no preference for the order of things?

Bailee was born with Down syndrome as well as a congenital heart defect. At five months of age she had open-heart surgery to correct the heart defect. We were aware that children with DS are at a slightly higher risk for leukemia but never thought it would happen. Last fall, our family was busy with work, daycare, and daily life when, on October 6, 2015, three weeks before her third birthday, Bailee was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In the weeks leading up to her diagnosis, she experienced severe bruising, unexplained illness, nose bleeds, and petechia (spots caused by bleeding into the skin). The past year has been tough on Bailee, as well as our family. It's been hard to see her sick from the disease and treatments. We spent her birthday and her sister's birthday in the hospital. In some ways it feels like our lives stopped and the rest of the world went on without us. Fortunately, we were able to be together, as a family. Bailee is approaching one year in treatment and doing well. She will start preschool in a few weeks, and she's happy to be able to do the things she loves again. Bailee enjoys going to the park, painting, playing with her little sister JoJo and her doggie Lucy. Our family is hopeful that the hardest part of our battle is over, but we realize we still have a long way to go.
Last September our family knew very little about childhood cancer. Today, we want to do what we can to spread awareness and make a difference.


Today, I came across an interesting article about kayaking in the Patagonian Andes. In it they mention a lake creature that I had not heard about before: "el Cuervo".
This lake, is located in Chile, 46 km (29 mi.) south of the town of Chaitén, and is fed by the Futaleufú River, whose sources are in the Los Alerces National Park in Argentina. It has a surface area of 116 km2 (44 sq. mi.) and is set at a very low altitude (70 m - 230 ft.); it flows into the Pacific Ocean through the Yelcho River.
It is surrounded by several volcanos (Corcovado and Nevado).

Cuervo is the leather-backed monster that has long been rumored to dwell in Lago Yelcho. For generations, campesinos have warned their children not to venture near the lake at night.
I had never before heard about this creature, and I am inclined to believe that it is a misspelling of the word "cuero" - the "lake hide" (see my post on it Here). Somehow a letter "v" found its way into the word "cuero" and the outcome has been another word "Cuervo".
Cuervo means crow or raven in Spanish. There are no crows in Patagonia (or in South America), they only live in the Northern Hemisphere.
However we have posted (Here) on a cuero and other strange lake creatures found upstream along the Futaleufú river, at Lake Rosario in Argentina (it is just beyond the right edge of the map above).
I know I'm... 5 years late to reply, but yes, that's most definitely a misspelling. Most probably someone didn't notice when it was corrected, as the description fits to a T to what the Cuero is thought of as a mythical creature. Greetings from Chile! I really loved your work in this blog.
Thanks for your comment Felipe!
