Paul Massey
Man charged with murders of Paul Massey and his friend John Kinsella
Mark Fellows, 37, originally from Salford, will appear in court tomorrow
A man has been charged with the murders of Salford's Paul Massey and his close friend.
Mark Fellows, (born 5/9/80), originally from Salford , will appear in court tomorrow (Saturday, June 2) charged with the murder of Mr Massey and the murder of John Kinsella, and a third charge of attempted murder.
Mr Massey, 55, was shot outside his home in Manchester Road, Clifton, on July 26, 2015.
Mr Kinsella, 53, was also shot dead on May 5, this year, on a woodland path near the M62 at Rainhill in Merseyside.
This week in a joint operation GMP and Merseyside Police arrested seven people in connection with the murders.
A 37-year-old man was arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of the murders of Mr Massey and Mr Kinsella on Wednesday.
The same day, a 39-year-old woman was arrested at the airport on suspicion of assisting an offender in relation to Mr Kinsella's murder.
A 48-year-old man was also arrested in Salford on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in relation to Mr Massey's murder.
On Thursday police arrested a 49-year-old man in Rochdale and a 30-year-old woman in Salford on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder in relation to Mr Massey's death.
Another woman, 35, was arrested in Salford on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
All of those arrested, except Mr Fellows, have been released under investigation, GMP said.

A 40-year-old man from St Helens was also arrested by Merseyside Police on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder in relation to John Kinsella.
Mr Fellows is scheduled to appear at Sefton Magistrates Court in Merseyside on Saturday.
Mr Massey, a father-of-five who had eight grandchildren, was a close friend of Mr Kinsella, who was known to the Massey family as 'Scouse John'.
Mr Kinsella was one the pallbearers at Mr Massey's funeral and contributed towards the cost of the service and the horse-drawn carriage that contained his white casket.

have evidence, will… um, erm (6 of 6, enforcing accountability in decision-making)
this is a joint post with suvojit, continuing from 5 of 6 in the series. it is also cross-posted here.
a recent episode reminded us of why we began this series of posts, of which is this is the last. we recently saw our guiding scenario for this series play out: a donor was funding a pilot project accompanied by a rigorous evaluation, which was intended to inform further funding decisions.
in this specific episode, a group of donors discussed an on-going pilot program in Country X, part of which was evaluated using a randomized-control trial. the full results and analyses were not yet in; the preliminary results, marginally significant, suggested that there ought to be a larger pilot taking into account lessons learnt.
along with X's government, the donors decided to scale-up. the donors secured a significant funding contribution from the Government of X — before the evaluation yielded results. indeed, securing government funding for the scale-up and a few innovations in the operational model had already given this project a sort-of superstar status, in the eyes of both the donor as well as the government. it appeared the donors in question had committed to the government that the pilot would be scaled-up before the results were in. moreover, a little inquiry revealed that the donors did not have clear benchmarks or decision-criteria going into the pilot about key impacts and magnitudes — that is, the types of evidence and results — that would inform whether to take the project forward.
there was evidence (at least it was on the way) and there was a decision but it is not clear how they were linked or how one informed the other.
reminder: scenario
we started this series of posts by admitting the limited role evidence plays in decision-making — even when an agency commissions evidence specifically to inform a decision. the above episode illustrates this, as well as the complex and, sometimes, messy way that (some) agencies, like (some) donors, approach decision-making. we have suggested that, given that resources to improve welfare are scarcer than needs, this approach to decision-making is troubling at best and irresponsible at worst. note that it is the lack of expectations and a plan for decision-making that are troublesome as the limited use of outcome and impact evidence.
in response to this type of decision-making, we have had two guiding goals in this series of posts. first, are there ways to design evaluations that will make the resultant outcomes more useable and useful (addressed here and here)? second, given all the factors that influence decisions, including evidence, can the decision-making process be made more fair and consistent across time and space?
to address the second question, we have drawn primarily on the work of Norm Daniels, to consider whether and how decisions can be made through a fair, deliberative process that, under certain conditions, can generate outcomes that a wide range of stakeholders can accept as 'fair'.
Daniels suggests that achieving four key criteria, these "certain conditions" for fair deliberation can be met, including deliberation about which programs to scale after receiving rigorous evidence and other forms of politically relevant feedback.
closing the loop: enforceability
so far, we have reviewed three of these conditions: relevant reasons, publicity, and revisibility. in this post, we examine the final condition, enforceability (regulation or persuasive pressure).
meeting the enforceability criterion means providing mechanisms to ensure that the processes set by the other criteria are adhered to. this is, of course, easier said than done. in particular, it is unclear who should do the enforcing.*
we identify two key questions about enforcement:
first, should enforcement be external to or strictly internal to the funding and decision-making agency?
second, should enforcement rely on top-down or bottom-up mechanisms?
underlying these questions is a more basic, normative question: In which country should these mechanisms reside — the donor or the recipient? the difficulty of answer this question is compounded by the fact that many donors are not nation-states.
we don't have clear answers to these questions, which themselves likely need to be subjected to a fair, deliberative process. Here, we lay out some of our own internal debates on two key questions, in hopes that they point to topics for productive conversation.
should enforcement of agency decision making be internal or external to the agency?
this is a normative question but it links with a positive one: can we rely on donors to self-regulate when it comes to adopted decision-making criteria and transparency commitments?
internal, self-regulation is the most common model we see around us, in the form of internal commitments such as multi-year strategies, requests for funds made to the treasury, etc. in addition, most agencies have an internal but-independent 'results' or 'evaluation' cell, intended to make sure that M&E is carried out. in the case of DFID for instance, the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) seems to have a significant impact on DFID's policies and programming. it also empowers the British parliament to hold DFID to account over a variety of funding decisions, as well as future strategy.
outside the agency, oversight and enforcement of achieving relevancy, transparency, and revisibility could come from multiple sources. from above, it could be a multi-lateral agency/agreement or a global INGO, similar to a Publish What You Pay(?). laterally, the government in which a program is being piloted could play an enforcing role. finally, oversight and enforcement could come from below, through citizens or civic society organizations, both in donor and recipient countries. this brings us to our next question.
should enforcement flow top-down or bottom-up?
while this question could be answered about internal agency functioning and hierarchy, we focus on the potential for external enforcement from one direction or the other. and, again, the question is a normative one but there are positive aspects related to capacity to monitor and capacity to enforce.
enforcement from 'above' could come through multilateral agencies or through multi- or bi-lateral agreements. one possible external mechanisms is where more than one donor come together to make a conditional funding pledge to a program – contingent on achieving pre-determined targets.however, as we infer from the opening example, it is important that such commitments should be based on a clear vision of success, not just on political imperatives or project visibility.
enforcement from below can come from citizens in donor and/or recipient countries, including through CSOs and the media. one way in which to introduce bottom-up pressure is if donors adhere to the steps we have covered in our previous posts – agreement on relevant reasons, transparency and revisibility – and thereby involve a variety of external stakeholders, including media, citizens, CSOs. these can contribute to a mechanism where there is pressure from the ground on donors in living up to their own commitments.
media are obviously important players in these times. extensive media reporting of donor commitments is a strong mechanism for informing and involving citizens – in both donor and recipient countries; media are also relevant to helping citizens understand limits and how decisions are made in face of resource constraints.
our combined gut feeling, though, is that in the current system of global aid and development, the most workable approach will probably include a mixture of formal top-down and informal bottom-up pressure. from a country-ownership point of view, we feel that recipient country decision-makers should have a (strong) role to play here (more than they seem to have currently), as well as citizens in those countries.
however, bilateral donors, will probably continue to be more accountable to their own citizens (directly and via representative legislatures) and, therefore, a key task is to consider how to bolster their capacity to ensure 'accountability for reasonableness' in the use of evidence and decision-making more generally. at the same time multilateral donors may have more flexibility to consider other means of enforcement, since they don't have a narrow constituency of citizens and politicians to be answerable to. however, we worry that the prominent multilateral agencies we know are also bloated bureaucracies with unclear chains of accountability (as well as a typical sense of self-perpetuation).
while there is no clear blueprint for moving forward, we hope the above debate has gone a small step towards asking the right questions.
in sum
in this final post, we have considered how to enforce decision-making and priority-setting processes that are ideally informed by rigorous and relevant evidence but also, more importantly, in line with principles of fairness and accountability for reasonableness. these are not fully evident in the episode that opened this post.
through this series of posts, we have considered how planning for decision-making can help in the production of more useful evidence and can set up processes to make fairer decisions. for the latter, we have relied on Norm Daniel's framework for ensuring 'accountability for reasonableness' in decision-making. this is, of course, only one guide to decision-making, but one that we have found useful in broaching questions of not only how decisions are made but how they should be made.
in it, Daniels proposes that deliberative processes should be based on relevant reasons and commitments to transparency and revisibility that are set ex ante to the decision-point. we have focused specifically on decision-making relating to continuing, scaling, altering, or scrapping pilot programs, particularly those for which putatively informative evidence has been commissioned.
we hope that through these posts, we have been able to make a case for designing evaluations to generate evidence useful decision-making as well as for facilitating fair, deliberative processes for decision-making that can take account of evidence generated.
at the very least, we hope that evaluators will recognize the importance of a fair process and will not stymie them in the pursuit of the perfect research design.
*in Daniels's work, which primarily focuses on national or large private health insurance plans, the regulative role of the state is clear. in cases of global development, involving several states and agencies, governance and regulation become less clear. noting this lack of clarity in global governance is hardly a new point; however, the idea of needing to enforce the conditions of fair processes and accountability for reasonableness provides a concrete example of the problem.

Permission has been given for old horticultural buildings in Angmering to be demolished and nine new homes built in their place.
At a meeting of Arun District Council's development control committee, members voted to approve the application for land at The Laurels, in Dappers Lane.
The development will be made up of two two-bedroom homes, three three-bedroom homes and four four-bedroom homes.
Philippa Bower (Con, Rustington West) described the application as 'a good scheme with plenty of car parking'.
The meeting was told that, due to the extremely hot weather in July/August, a reptile survey of the site had not been completed.
A condition was place on the application stating that, before work started, a survey would have to take place and the results submitted for approval.
The meeting also saw members give permission for two semi-detached bungalows to be built in St John's Close, Westergate.
An application to build a chalet-style bungalow in Sea Lane Gardens, Ferring, was also given the nod, despite concerns from some members that it would be too close to the neighbouring property.
The bungalow will be one metre from its neighbour.
Four members abstained from voting.

CeeLo Green Christens Bear Creek's Awesome New Treehouse Recording Studio
under Architecture, carousel showcase, Gallery, Treehouses
Music producer and engineer Ryan Hadlock has teamed up with Animal Planet's TV show Treehouse Masters to build a treehouse recording studio at his famed Bear Creek Studio near Seattle. Hadlock's new recording studio was "christened" by Grammy winner CeeLo Green, who is no stranger to sustainability efforts-in 2012 he launched the Greenhouse Foundation in Atlanta. Green is using the studio to work on his latest single.
The Bear Creek Studio provides a secluded and rustic setting for musicians and producers to work on their music and, in addition to a turn-of-the-century barn converted into a high-tech recording studio, Hadlock's project now includes a cozy treehouse nestled between western red cedars.
Animal Planet's famous TV show 'Treehouse Masters' came on-site and built the new structure 18 feet off the ground. The episode is scheduled to air on February 21st and shows the building process and Hadlock's first impressions of the place. The team made sure to incorporate various sustainable features, including a composting toilet.

"Some First Nations in Alberta want an exemption from the provincial government's decision to mandate oil production cuts.
The First Nations say the provincial government has no right to dictate the level of oil and gas activity on their land. They believe the oil curtailment policy could have a negative financial impact."
I can only assume these First Nations are pro-Trans Mountain but who knows.

One of the market movers on Tuesday is Symetra Financial Corporation (NYSE:SYA), whose stock jumped by over 7% on a volume of around 6.50 million shares, which is 13 times higher than the average. The main reason for the stock's growth is the announcement that Sumitomo Life Insurance Company will acquire Symetra for $32.50 per share, including a dividend of $0.50 per share, which brings the total value of the deal at $3.8 billion. The news took the market by surprise as seen by the stock's jump, but hedge funds did not anticipate the move, as they were underweight Symetra at the end of the first quarter.
Sumitomo is a life insurer in Japan and the acquisition will allow it to gain exposure to the US insurance market. Symetra Financial Corporation (NYSE:SYA) is a US-based life insurance company, which distributes its products domestically and has three divisions: Benefit, Retirement, and Individual Life. Its stock had gained around 16% year-to-date before the deal was announced and was slightly beating the life insurance industry, which advanced by 9% year-to-date. Moreover, at the end of June, Symetra had $34 billion in assets, 1.7 million customers, and around 1,400 employees. However, the company's financials have been declining lately and for the second quarter, Symetra posted revenue of $535 million and EPS of $0.27, significantly below the $547 million and $0.62 it posted a year earlier.
As stated earlier, hedge funds as a group have not foreseen the deal, or chose not to invest in the company for another reason, as by the end of March, 16 funds from our database held around $110.26 million worth of stock, which represented around 4% of the company's common shares at the time. However, one of the largest shareholders of Symetra is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which owns 17% of the company. Berkshire has not reported the holding in its latest 13F filing because the shares are held via its subsidiary General Re New England Asset Management. Mr. Buffett agreed to support the deal between Symetra and Sumitomo.
We consider that hedge fund sentiment is an important metric to follow for retail investors because hedge funds usually spend a lot of time and money while picking investment opportunities. Even though most equity hedge funds had abysmal net returns in the last couple of years, some of their picks had impressive gains. For example, as part of our strategy, we determine 15 most popular small-cap stocks among a group of 700 hedge funds. In our backtest, these stocks beat the market by nearly one percentage point per month, while since August 2012, when we started tracking our portfolio in real-time, we have obtained returns of around 123%, which is 65 percentage points above the gains of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) (read more details here).
Even though the hedge fund sentiment at the end of the first quarter did not clearly signal the development in the case of Symetra Financial Corporation (NYSE:SYA), there was a slight increase in the stock's popularity during the first quarter of the year. More specifically, the number of investors holding shares of the company went up by two during the quarter. Among the funds we track, one of the top shareholders is Richard S. Pzena's Pzena Investment Management, which owns 755,300 shares as of the end of June, down by 111,800 shares over the second quarter, followed by Boykin Curry's Eagle Capital Management, which holds 412,900 shares according to its latest 13F filing.

Studio Flashback
I think the dust has finally settled from my studio move. I still catch myself gazing around the shop in a bit of awe that it's mine. It still feels like a space I dreamed up.
As I unpacked each box and found a new home for every tool, I wound up thinking about the shop transitions that came before. How could this be my fourth studio in fewer than 10 years?
The truth is, I started very small. My workspace was not glamorous. But every time I packed up shop, the new place felt like just enough. Each one seemed to reflect the stage of business I was in. From a free room with no lights or running water to my shared studio in downtown SF, each one felt like the right sized stepping stone at the time.
I learned that a photogenic studio doesn't matter. It's the art you make there that moves you forward. So it's worth taking a moment to look back on where it began.
Wayne State University, Detroit, 2005-2008
Like most students, I spent my college years working from the studio at my university. During this time I was making larger scale sculpture and art jewelry (like you do, when you're in a metals program). I did a lot of fold forming, chasing and repoussé. It was a bit unrecognizable from the work I do today.
After college I found myself searching for some footing in the jewelry industry. I was working at a jewelry store all week and moonlighting nights and weekends as a waitress. On the rare occasion I found time to work at home, it was from a homemade bench in the corner of my living room. My father and I used plans from "The Complete Metalsmith" to build this bench and used a scrap of kitchen counter from my childhood home as the benchtop. It's still in my workshop today.
Hayes Street, NOPA, San Francisco, 2010-2011
I developed my first jewelry collection from a cold basement studio. I had moved to San Francisco the year before and answered an ad for an apartment near Golden Gate Park. It had a small room in the basement that my roommate, a painter, had the landlord's blessing to use as an art studio. She generously offered to share the space with me too.
It had no running water. No overhead lights. And no heat — despite what many tourists think about "sunny San Francisco", the fog we're notorious for makes things quite cold. You may think these conditions were unbearable, but at the time, it was perfect. I was young! I was scrappy! I was just happy to be working with my hands.
By day, I worked full time at a jewelry gallery. I spent my nights and days off tinkering here. This is where the Fragments collection was born. It's where I learned the ins-and-outs of Etsy and struggled to learn about product photography.
A few local stores offered to carry my collection, and my jewelry business was off and running.
Activspace, Mission District San Francisco, 2012-2014
I sold my first diamond ring while hovering over my apartment's kitchen island. We met there because I felt embarrassed for this client to see my dark and dingy shop. I decided it was time to make the leap to a studio worthy of selling fine jewelry. I landed a nice little spot with a window and running water in the Mission District.
From this building, known as Activspace, I spent the following year weaning off of my job at the gallery into focusing solely on my jewelry business. I grew my production capacity and picked up a few more local galleries. I got married. I attended the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and fleshed out a business plan.
It was hard being self-employed, but things were looking promising. I went out of my way to connect with my local jewelry community because it was sinking in how lonely running a small business would be. It was during this time I met talented friends, like Sharon Zimmerman, Tura Sugden, Sam Woehrmann and Marja of MGG Studio.
Goldlight, Downtown San Francisco 2014-2018
Many of you know me best from my years at Goldlight Studio. In 2014 Sharon Zimmerman and her friend Luana Coonen invited me to join them in establishing a shared studio in San Francisco. We built out and shared our infamous spot in downtown for 2 years before Luana moved out and Christy Natsumi moved in. We stayed together for 3 additional years of studio bliss. We talked about the risks and reward of sharing a creative space with DesignSponge in 2017.
During my 5 years at Goldlight, I went through surges of growth. I hired my first, and then second employee. I reached new galleries and participated in my first industry trade shows. I had a ring featured in the New York Times. And I designed more custom pieces for local clients than I ever imagined!
The community and accountability that come from 5 years in a shared studio cannot be understated. It helped me grow as a designer and navigate the waters of being a young business owner in a buttoned-up industry. But, like the Peregrine Falcon chicks of UC Berkeley's Clock Tower (I became an avid birder during these years, too) I reached my time to leave the nest.
Carleton Studios, Berkeley, 2019-Present
I wrote about my decision to move and how I found my Berkeley Studio earlier this year. Now that I'm a few months in, I can say how good this change has been for me.
Since the move I have welcomed a new employee, settled into this new and larger space, and begun to wrap my mind around this fresh start and new routines. The studio is bright & airy, and I find myself making excuses to visit it on my days off — that's how much I love it.
The new shop features more space for new tools, a dedicated photography corner, abundant natural light and plenty of workbenches. One of my favorite spots is my office, with a comfy client table (no more selling diamonds from my kitchen) and dedicated packing & shipping area for our many outgoing packages. I'm overjoyed at how my plant collection loves it here too.
From here, I intend to grow my website business and to partner with more retail stores, so you can shop for Corey Egan jewelry in your home town. Interested in carrying my jewelry or seeing it in a shop near you? Contact me, I'd love to hear about it.

Rain, Rain Go Away
by Tamera H. BennettJune 13, 2007
South Korean Hip Hop star "Rain" announced today the postponement of his U.S tour after being sued by U.S. musical group "Rain."
According to the U.S. trademark registration, the group Rain, first begin using the name in 1978. In August 2005, JYP ENTERTAINMENT CO., LTD, a Republic of Korea company filed a U.S. trademark application for RAIN. The application by the Korean company was eventually abandoned after they were unable to overcome a refusal by the trademark examiner based on likelihood of confusion with the Plaintiff's existing registration.
Rain Corporation filed the lawsuit in federal court in Nevada in February 2007. According to PACER, the hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Injunction was to be held June 13, 2007. The court records have not yet been updated with the outcome of the hearing. Based on cancellation of the U.S. tour, one can assume the motion was granted.
I was curious about the U.S. musical group using the name Rain. How could I have missed a band that has been around for almost 20 years and based upon their pleadings had earned millions of dollars? Easy answer, I have not been attending enough concerts featuring Beatles Tribute bands.
UPDATE 6/27/07 Well, I was wrong. The preliminary injunction was not granted. The Court was unable to hear the preliminary injunction prior to the start of Rain's U.S. Tour, so Rain (Hip Hop Artist) canceled performances waiting on the Court to rule.
The Court denied Rain's (Beatles Tribute Band) motion for a preliminary injunction to stop Rain (Hip Hop Artist) from performing in the U.S. until the pending litigation is resolved.
The Court held:
The limited evidence before the court fails to show that Plaintiff (Beatles Tribute Band) has a strong likelihood of success on the merits. Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence of irreparable harm should an injunction issue. Nonetheless, Plaintiff has raised serious questions with respect to trademark infringement that will likely need to be decided by a jury.
Rain (Hip Hop Artist) will start his U.S. tour in LA at the Staples Center on June 30.
UPDATE JULY 7, 2007 Rain (Hip Hop Artist) cancelled the show at Staples Center on the day of the event. Is there more litigation on the horizon?

CONSTANTIN HARTENSTEIN – OFF GRID
Softopening: 04.02.2022, 6 pm
Opening hours: Thurs/Fri 4–8 pm, Sat 12–4 pm
Curators: Sylvia Sadzinski and Alexander Wilmschen
Constantin Hartenstein's Off Grid at Kunstverein Dresden is devoted to the visibility and aesthetics of queer communities in the GDR that operated on the social margins.
In this exhibition, Hartenstein presents several epoxy resin sculptures, which are lit up and displayed in a tiered spatial arrangement, as well as a new video work. The light blue, translucent works are enriched with colour pigments that were used on an industrial scale at the time of the GDR. The epoxy resin not only binds the infused pigments to a crystalline structure, but also produces surface reliefs in the form of bodies, abstract patterns, and textual fragments.
The blue sculptures make reference to rare visual and written material from special archives and magazines. They incorporate motifs and texts from periodicals, advertisements, flyers, and pamphlets – alienating, expanding, and re-contextualising the queer and, in particular, gay aesthetics of East Germany in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The video work attends to locations that once acted as the scene's meeting points; they can be read as spaces that offered both security and freedom. Hartenstein's artistic approach deliberately highlights and questions gaps in the way this subject has been explored: What specific forms of expression did lesbian, gay, and queer groups create and use in their activism during the GDR? What did visibility look like outside specific venues and meeting places and how was it used to explain and draw attention to a supposed 'otherness'? What remains of this visibility at present? Off Grid deals with key issues concerning body images, masculinities, exclusion, belonging and acceptance, networking and exchange. Furthermore, it asks how queer communities were created that are still meaningful today.
Constantin Hartenstein's artistic practice focuses on how images representing bodies and masculinity have been constructed within our aesthetic consciousness. He addresses interventions aimed at the optimisation of individual bodies as well as how the body and its interfaces relate to a technology-driven landscape. His sculptures, video works, installations, and performances bring questions about individual existence into an environment marked by artifice and machinery, seizing on the aesthetics of consumer society and its ramifications.

Finally monetize your likeness with Curastory and other approved platforms
For the longest time, student athletes like you have had to deal with one major setback: Despite all your accomplishments, regardless of all your success, and despite all your hard work and dedication, you were forbidden from profiting off of your name, image, or likeness. Referred to as an athlete's "NIL," the National Collegiate Athletic Association stood firm in their rules that stated college athletes participating in sports like football, basketball, soccer, and countless others throughout Division I, II, and III schools couldn't hire agents, take on endorsements, or profit from their athletics in any way, shape, or form. From video games and live broadcasts to YouTube videos and social media posts, you couldn't take a dime from anyone because of one simple concept — you play an NCAA sport in college.
However, in 2019, things changed in a major way: The NCAA's Board of Governors voted unanimously to change their name, image, and likeness rules to allow college athletes like you to begin monetizing your NIL. The legislation is set to go into effect in January 2021 — just a few months away, believe it or not — in time for the 2021-2022 school year. With many of your fellow student athletes planning to take advantage of these groundbreaking new rules starting in August of 2021, it's important to know the best platforms that college players like yourself can use to profit off of your name, image, and likeness.
Best platforms for student athletes to monetize their NIL
With so much changing with the NCAA and social media monetization (and the huge influx of student athletes who will all be hoping to make a profit at the same time), you to need to know what the best platforms for monetizing your NIL are as well as what each of their unique functions are. On top of this, student athletes like yourself also need to know which platforms you're even allowed to use. With the NCAA's current working group proposal forbidding institutional involvement, you can't use any sort of platform that already has an official relationship with your athletic department. Not only are these five platforms listed below officially approved by the NCAA, but they're the best of the best when it comes to getting you the most for your NIL.
Curastory
First and foremost, if you're a student athlete looking to monetize your name, image, and likeness, you should know about Curastory. As one of the very first monetization platforms approved by the NCAA, Curastory stands apart from the competition by putting the opportunity to make money off of your NIL in your own hands. Curastory is a platform that allows you to rent quality, video equipment, use free editing and music tools, and look for sponsorship opportunities for the videos you own, shot and edited yourself.
Unlike endorsements or commercials, Curastory allows for you to monetize the kinds of videos and posts you already make — from posts talking about your everyday life to videos showing daily routines of being a student athlete and anything in between. Curastory also gives you the ability to record your own video ads right through the platform, helping to simplify the often-complicated moneymaking process even more. Founded by a former ESPN data scientist named Tiffany Kelly, Curastory only charges a small processing fee while allowing the rest of the profits from a given video to go straight to you.
Podcasting is a form of popular entertainment that doesn't show any signs of slowing down anytime soon, so it would make a lot of sense for student athletes like you to try your hand at it. It seems everyone and their mother either listens to or records their own podcasts, so why wouldn't you give it a shot, too?
If you're a sports player hoping to get into the ever-popular podcasting game, Anchor is definitely the platform to use. A popular platform among up-and-coming podcasters because of their advertised "100% free" services, Anchor provides student athletes looking to start a podcast with simple audio recording tools, convenient cloud-based hosting and distribution options, easy-to-read analytics, and simple monetization methods. Plus, Anchor has that all-important NCAA approval that you need if you want to monetize your NIL the proper way.
And if you really want to become a pro at content creation, you can always record a visual podcast, monetize on all of your video channels through Curastory, and then only take the audio to then monetize that through Anchor. Multichannel content, simplified!
Anyone who's used social media before — so, most of you! — knows how special it can feel when a famous person notices you online and gives you some special attention. Whether it's in the form of a like, a reply, a comment, or a shout-out, it's one of the most sought-after feelings in this social media age.
Cameo bottles this feeling and allows users to purchase it straight from the source. No matter if it's a reality TV star, a social media personality, a popular musician, a big name from your favorite movie, or — in this instance — you, a well-known NCAA student athlete yourself, Cameo gives notable public figures the opportunity for users to buy personalized shout-out videos straight from them through Cameo's site. This monetization platform is going to be the best for any student athlete such as yourself who wants to profit off of their NIL but doesn't exactly have the amount of time that a podcast or a full-fledged video requires.
Yoke Gaming
One of the newest forms of social media stardom has come in the form of live-streamed video games. From Twitch to YouTube to Mixer to Facebook and everything in between, video game streams are creating social media superstars practically overnight. As such, it only makes sense that you might want in on the fun — especially if you're already an avid video game player to begin with. Yoke Gaming is different from these other platforms, though: Instead of someone watching a live stream of a college athlete gaming, users actually have the opportunity to face off against the athletes themselves.
Sort of like a blend of Cameo and Twitch, Yoke Gaming is ideal for full-time college athletes like you who also double as part-time gamers. Plus, with many NCAA schools actually pursuing gaming as a legitimate sport, Yoke Gaming might especially come in handy should esports ever become a dual sport athletic career for you in the near future.
rewardStyle
Last — but certainly not least — is rewardStyle. This monetization platform will come in handy if you're a college athlete who really prioritizes fashion and name brands in your personal life. With an enormous network of monetization tools at your disposal and a worldwide network of over 5,000 different brands contained under the rewardStyle umbrella, you are given the opportunity to make a commission every time someone likes an outfit, an item, or even a piece of furniture or food you post online to your social media accounts.
From brand partnerships to cross-platform promotion to proven audience growth tools, rewardStyle is the ideal place if you're a student athlete who has gathered a large online following and is interested in doing business with the brands you already know and love. Plus, similar to Cameo, it allows for you to make money off of your NIL without having to sacrifice too much of your extremely important free time.
The unique benefits of Curastory
While each of these different platforms has value as a way for you to monetize your NIL, Curastory really is the standout of the bunch simply because of the immense amount of versatility the platform allows for. In truth, you could do anything the other four platforms offer through Curastory — whether you're interested in making video podcasts, doing video shout-outs, creating video gaming content, or even producing sponsored lifestyle videos, Curastory cuts out the middlemen and puts the power to monetize your NIL directly into your hands.
It doesn't have to stop at these kinds of videos, either. Because Curastory rents out the equipment you need to create videos, provides you with the software (for free!) to cut and edit them yourself, and allows for you to find sponsors directly through their site, college athletes like you can use Curastory to make anything from trick shot videos to video game streams, sit-down videos to visual podcasts, cooking videos to eating shows, prank videos to daily vlogs, or anything else you feel like making, really. This unique freedom is truly what makes Curastory one of the strongest and most valuable platforms available on the market — The possibilities are endless when the power to create is given right to you, not someone else.
Curastory helps student athletes such as yourself go beyond what other sport influencers, football influencers, basketball influencers, YouTube influencers, and Instagram influencers do. If you're a student athlete who's interested in learning more about how Curastory can help you make the most out of your name, image, and likeness, you should first get in touch with your coach or athletic director to see if it's okay to reach out to us before August of 2021.
Because we have been in talks with such schools as University of North Carolina and Tulane University, we have the know-how and the proven experience to assist student athletes with onboarding without the official assistance of the schools themselves. Contact us today to learn more.
We have just what you need, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out.

The top 10 most stunning abandoned locations in the world
Urban explorer Bob Thissen has scoured the planet looking for places forgotten and abandoned. These are the spots that don't feature on your usual travel bucket list.

Explore these abandoned places around the world
The top 10 abandoned sites around the world. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
These eerie images of abandoned spots across the world have been compiled by a globetrotting urban explorer.
Bob Thissen, 33, for Heerlen, The Netherlands, started investigating decaying places during his teens, and has now visited more than 50 countries and thousands of locations for over a decade.
From the abandoned ruins of war-torn hotels to forgotten mansions in the woods and dangerous nuclear fallout zones, his travels have taken him to areas which are often off limits.
Getting to them can be just as exciting as what he finds. His urban exploring adventures require weeks of planning and have sometimes involved sneaking past security. It is all documented in his book Exploring The Unbeaten Path.
RELATED: Incredible secret spots on our doorstep
Bob said: "These locations are well preserved, have natural decay, a lot of history and you can spend days in there without getting bored.
"Urban exploring is a nice way to discover the world. You visit areas and countries you wouldn't have seen if you didn't visit abandoned buildings."
Bob said this meant learning a lot about history, geography, how things work and more.
"Most of these places are like a museum, but without a guide and limitations," he said.
"Most of the buildings should be a museum, but most of the time there's simply no money for it. Often these buildings are heritage.
"It's full of adrenaline and adventure. Every trip is another adventure and you never know what will happen and where you will end up.
"It's some kind of off-the-beaten-path tourism."

TOP 10 ABANDONED PLACES
Here are Bob's top 10 abandoned locations — as he describes them, "the coolest locations I have visited in the past decade".
10. Holmesburg Prison, US: At number 10 was Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. Built in 1896 and only shut down in 1995, the former prison is best known for the medical experiments claimed to have been conducted on detainees between 1961-1974.
9. Forgotten castles: For number nine, Bob selected the many abandoned castles he had visited, particularly those hidden away from vandals, deep in the woods or out of sight.
Battleship Island, Japan, featured as Silva's lair in the 2012 Bond movie Skyfall. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
8. Battleship Island, Japan: In eighth spot was this abandoned island, also known as Hashima, off the coast of Nagasaki. It was bought by Mitsubishi to extract coal from the sea and an artificial city arose. Reaching a peak population of over 5000 people in 1959, in 1974 the mine was closed and all the residents left. Now a tourist attraction, it's best known in modern times as a location for the Bond film Skyfall.

7. Glück Kingdom, Japan: In seventh place was Glück Kingdom, a German-inspired amusement park in Hokkaido which opened in 1989 to draw more tourists to the island. It includes tributes to Brothers Grimm and their chilling fairytales.

Nara Dreamland has now been demolished. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
6. Nara Dreamland, Japan: In sixth place was another abandoned Japanese amusement park — Nara Dreamland. The Disney-style theme park opened in 1961, closing in 2006 due to dwindling attendance. It was eventually demolished in 2017, but not before Bob managed to visit and photograph it.
5. Army diving boat, Portugal: Claiming fifth position was a discarded army diving boat off the coast of Portugal. The secret location proved tricky to access and left Bob battling with security.
The Colbert, a former French missile cruiser, sits awaiting demolition. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
4. The Colbert, France: At number four was the French missile cruiser The Colbert. It was in service from 1956 to 1991 and became a museum from 1993 to 2007. New plans are in place to demolish it but in the meantime it sits rusting in the French port of Landevennec, Brittany.
3. Oil rig, Scotland: In third place was an abandoned oil rig graveyard off the Scottish coast of Cromarty Firth, which Bob and other explorers visited for a weekend. The rig platforms were left after a lack of demand following a North Sea crude oil downturn.
A supermarket left, with stock littering the floor, in Fukushima, Japan. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
Stores were just left as residents fled after the disaster. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
2. Fukushima, Japan: In second place was Fukushima, which was abandoned after the tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011. Bob believes the site is as bad as it was when the accident first happened.
A space shuttle left to rot on a military base in the US. Picture: Bob Thissen/CatersSource:Caters News Agency
1. Space shuttle graveyard, US: Topping all others for the urban explorer was an abandoned military base that contained space shuttles. Bob spent three days in the dessert in order to reach the location, which he admits was by far the hardest of his adventures — but the most rewarding.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said the end was near for members of FETÖ, widely believed to have been behind the failed coup attempt in July 2016.
"I am telling all FETÖ members inside and outside of our country: Your end is near. You have nowhere to go, no step to take," Erdoğan said on Jan. 9 at a symposium on local authorities under the new presidential system.
"I don't know when those stood behind FETÖ [leader Gülen] will continue supporting him, but he will come here [to Turkey] sooner or later," he added.
"We will flush all of them out and bring to them justice. They will pay the price of their betrayal to our country by being put behind bars," the president stated.
Erdoğan said that offers are being made from different countries regarding cooperative action against FETÖ.
"The real danger is infiltrated enemies. FETÖ is the most recent example of this," he said.
The president also recalled that members of FETÖ have been removed from public offices and the same will be done in municipalities.
"I hope that the remaining parts of FETÖ will be removed from municipalities on March 31 by our nation," he added, referring to the upcoming local elections to be held on March 31.
The Turkish government accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.

Ocoee CB B.J. Bohler impresses Maryland coaches at satellite camp
Video interview, Ocoee 2017 CB B.J. Bohler talks Maryland camp, recruiting (Chris Hays/Orlando Sentinel)
B.J. Bohler needed this. He needs to make all the impressions he can. That's what happens when you are an undersized cornerback hoping for a big-time college football scholarship offer.
Bohler, who is listed at 5-foot-9 (counting his hair) and 178 pounds, is a cornerback at Ocoee High. He was taking part in yet another camp of his whirlwind summer Thursday, this one a satellite version put on by Maryland coaches at Windermere Prep.
He did not waste his time.
"Standing at 5-7, I gotta show out and do everything I can do to the best ability," Bohler said. "It doesn't get me frustrated. It just pushes me to work harder knowing that DBs and receivers are all taller than me so I gotta show them what I can do so hopefully I get put on the map."
He impressed Terrapins coaches in nearly every drill, and when it came to the one-on-one portion of the camp, he shined, drawing numerous raves from Maryland defensive coordinator Andy Buh.
Bohler was a force in the one-on-one drills, making two interceptions in his seven reps and constantly making everything difficult for those receivers he faced.
"I feel like I did good today. I felt comfortable ... didn't let no receivers inside. The coaches said they loved me so that pushed me even harder," Bohler said. "I went about 7-0 today [in 1-on-1s], caught two interceptions on the receivers, so I felt good."
Bohler, who is usually the fastest player on the field no matter where he is, runs a 4.25-second 40-yard dash. He is also an extremely strong player and his strength from his work in the weight room does wonders for his ability to fight off bigger receivers.
What, perhaps, stood out even more for Maryland coaches was Bohler showing his ability to be coached. A few times he was instructed on ways to defend off the line of scrimmage and Bohler put the coaching tips to work immediately.
"I picked up some pointers, like not letting the receivers inside ... If he goes outside he's down to only the come-back and go [route] so that eliminates all the other routes," Bohler said. "I got some good coaching today from Coach Buh and I had a good time.
"Coach Buh, after my last one-on-one rep, said he loved me and that I'm a really good football player and the recruiting coordinator for Orlando [linebackers coach Matt Barnes] he came up to me ... and he was like, 'Hey, I like you and I heard a lot of good things about you.
"So maybe, hopefully [they offer]."
Bohler does have scholarship offers from Football Championship Subdivision schools Citadel, Mercer and McNeese State, but he's still awaiting a call from FBS schools.
Bohler transferred to Ocoee this past semester from Wekiva High. He started out his high school career at Winter Garden Foundation Academy. He should have no problem qualifying for NCAA standards with his 3.4 GPA.

Josh Jung is already climbing through the Minors
The Texas Rangers' first pick has been demolishing rookie level competition
By Andrea Cornaglia Jul 18, 2019, 5:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Josh Jung is already climbing through the Minors
One month and a half ago we celebrated Josh Jung, the former Red Raiders' third baseman, who was selected in the MLB draft by the Texas Rangers with the eighth overall pick. Now we have him already playing at Class A level, with the Hickory Crawdads, in North Carolina.
How was this possible?
Easy answer: he simply destroyed the rookie level.
Josh was assigned to the Rangers' affiliate in the Arizona League, where he made his professional debut on July 10. His line? 3/4 with a home run and three RBIs. This was only the beginning as he had two more 3-hit games in the following five days. As a result, the Rangers immediately promoted him to the Crawdads.
These were Josh's numbers in the Arizona League:
Games: 4
At bats: 17
Home runs: 1
Triples: 1
Doubles: 1

Well, you could think he suffered this big jump and struggled in his two games in North Carolina. Are you kidding?
He appeared in two games, in which he went 3 for 8 (.375) with a double, a base on balls and a stolen base. Quite impressive, isn't it? He owns a 6-game hitting streak made of all the professional games he played.
We'll continue to monitor his performances during the summer, but at the moment we can say we're quite impressed by the start of his trip towards the Major League.

Q: why does windows phone 7 NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable() return true when airplane mode is enabled i have a windows phone 7 app that communicates with a web service.  i've been looking at other questions that answer how to detect if there is a network connection.  I thought 'fantastic' i've found my answer.
However, the call to NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable() always returns true.  It returns true in the emulator, it returns true on a device with airplane mode enabled, it returns true on device when airplane mode is disabled.
as further details, i have the latest beta SDK (7.1 - mango) running.
Anyone have an idea?

A: This method will always return true in debug mode.
The emulator is always connected to the host PC and so always has a connection.
If debugging on an actual device, the USB connection is a connection and so there is always a connection there.
The only way to test this method is on an actual device when not connected to a PC.

Made in Switzerland, the BMC Teammachine family has always upheld a strict list of requirements for their line of bikes that were defined by the demands of WorldTour facing. This includes a balance of an ultra lightweight frame, a bike built for climbs and grueling courses, and rapid fire acceleration and shifting for aggressive racing attacks.
The engineers at BMC developed their own proprietary ACE technology which went through tens of thousands of design prototypes before ending up with the SLR — this was the world's first in the finest combination of stiffness, compliance, and lightweight design. Ever since, this series by BMC has been incredibly popular.
We now have the SLR01 in multiple variants, divided by the Shimano components use and a few tweaks.
We're going to focus on the highest quality model — the Dura Ace Di2. This incredible model has everything an endurance rider looking to speed past their opponent is seeking in a road bike. With the best in technology, a furious design, and world class Shimano components, this BMC Teammachine is built for the WorldTour and is well suited for any type of racing for the masses who can afford it.
Before we dive into the Dura Ace Di2 specs, let's take a look at the pricing for this racing cycle. The frameset alone for a 2017 model Teammachine SLR01 costs around $4,499.00. For the full, latest 2017 Teammachine SLR01 Dura Ace Di2 (full bike), it will cost you around $11,999.00.
If you don't want to spend so much money, check out the different pricing options below for each model and consider a lower priced model. You can always upgrade the components yourself or start fresh from the frameset. However, since the price of the Ultegra model is only $500 more than the frameset alone, you would benefit from buying the Ultegra and building your components up to save money and to customize your ride to your liking on a budget you can control.
Note: You can also find great deals by buying one of the 2016 SLR01 models, which come in the same variants as the 2017. Nearly all component parts are the same with a few exceptions and the 2016 models are incredible, award winning, and can definitely give you the best ride.
Okay, now let's get into the amazing specs of the 2017 model SLR01 Dura Ace Di2. This beautiful piece of Swiss craftsmanship has never looked or performed better. With ACE technology, 01 Premium Carbon, Shimano Dura Ace Di2 components, and a DT Swiss Mon Chasseral RC 38 C Carbon Clincher, this bike will blow you and your opponents away.
The Teammachine SLR01 Dura Ace Di2 by BMC is the lightest road bike in their lineup and has one of the lightest framesets that are commercially available, at 790g for a size 54cm. However, lightweight frames are not automatically better for racing or more aerodynamic — it also depends on the design and geometry of the frame. BMC knocked this out of the park as well.
The engineers at BMC blended a unique combination of lightweight premium carbon with a design that promotes stiffness and compliance that is ahead of its time.
BMC's tagline of this bike model being "Acceleration Re-defined" is more than a slogan. The engineers made this their philosophy during the construction of the frame. Every stomp of those pedals will show you first hand that even the hardest of accelerations and sharpest of climbs need less effort and are executed better than the bike you are likely riding right now.
You can attack and switchback and everything in between — with the stiffness this model provides, you have complete control over your ride for superior turns, climbs, and endurance.
With BMC's ACE Technology, the 2017 Teammachine SLR01 will offer superior compliance for a regular day or the best racing day of your life. Since this model by BMC was designed and made for WorldTour riders, you can guarantee your ride will be exceptional.
In addition to the SLR01 series, BMC also offers 2016 SLR02 models, 2017 SLR03 models, 2017 TMR01 and TMR02 models, and new for 2017 – the ALR01 model series.
What was the Best Bike of 2016?

This method, or a similar one involving Path::Class, is the most recommended approach and has been adopted by application development frameworks like Dancer (which has a wrapper method for it, named path) and Catalyst (with its path_to method).
The slight problem that I see with this method is that it makes code a bit more complicated, and thus a bit less readable. Paths become lists of parameters and no longer look like paths.
What it does is it splits the path string on each occurrence of the forward slash and feeds the resulting list of path components to File::Spec->catfile, which reassembles them using the appropriate OS-specific directory separator, and constructs the OS-specific path that you want.
The module is up on Github, and should also be available on CPAN shortly.

8 Mind-Expanding Facts About Umbrellas
BY Tanya Basu
In some parts of the world, an umbrella is practically a necessity. Whether it's for rain or sun or singin' in the rain, here are eight facts about the history of those wire and fabric contraptions that keep your head dry during a rainstorm.
1. YOU CAN THANK THE SUN FOR THE WORD UMBRELLA.
While people today associate umbrellas with rain, the roots of the word have to do with shade from the sun—umbrella stems from the Latin umbra for "shade, shadow." But soon after the word appeared in English (and in England's less-than-sunny weather), umbrella morphed from being the term for something that shaded you from the sun to something that kept off rain.
2. UMBRELLAS WERE INVENTED IN CHINA.
Historical excavations suggest that the Chinese were the first to create a collapsible fabric dome around the year 21 CE (at the latest), when rulers were interested in having some sort of shade covering for their carriages. The umbrella was exported abroad thanks to the Silk Road, first to Japan and Korea, then across Europe and Asia. The usage of parasols and umbrellas flourished during the Roman Empire, died down during the Middle Ages, and began to grow in popularity again during the Renaissance.
3. UMBRELLAS WERE ONCE USED SOLELY BY WOMEN.
Umbrellas were the ancient equivalent of donning a pair of high heels—only women would use them, and they were a blatant symbol of femininity. In fact, in many ancient cultures, men brandishing umbrellas was a sign of effeminacy. And umbrellas were often associated with high fashion and wealth. It wasn't until the mid 18th-century, when the founder of English Magdalen Hospital was publicly and frequently seen using an umbrella, that the connection between femininity and umbrellas disappeared.
4. THE 19TH CENTURY WAS PROBABLY THE MOST FRUITFUL PERIOD IN UMBRELLA INNOVATION.
If you look at old paintings of umbrellas, you'll notice that they all look the same as they do today. In fact, a 1270 CE Song Dynasty painting features what is perhaps the earliest art depiction of a collapsible umbrella and it looks basically the same as what we flip out in a downpour.
But there have been some improvements, and an intense spike in umbrella innovation occurred in the 1800s. One thing that came out of this spurt of creativity was the button that allows the umbrella to automatically inflate or collapse, an innovation that proved remarkably sturdy in withstanding the test of time. But it wasn't until 1928 when Hans Haupt—who suffered from a war injury that inspired a cane-umbrella combination—created an umbrella that folded neatly into itself.
5. THE U.S. PATENT OFFICE IS DELUGED WITH DESIGNS FOR BETTER UMBRELLAS.
As author Susan Orlean wrote in a New Yorker piece on modern renderings of the humble umbrella, they are "so ordinary that everyone thinks about them, and, because they're relatively simple, you don't need an advanced degree to imagine a way to redesign them, but it's difficult to come up with an umbrella idea that hasn't already been done."
Orlean goes on to describe how the United States Patent Office has seen more than 3000 plans for redesigning the umbrella, from adding a pet leash to attempts at creating a flying umbrella. But none have really stuck. Today, a Google search of the US Patent Office yields 120,000 entries with the word "umbrella," including an automated sun tracking umbrella, dog umbrella, umbrella with interchangeable tops, mister-equipped umbrella system, and many more.
6. ONE CITY IN CHINA PRODUCES A LARGE CHUNK OF THE WORLD'S UMBRELLAS.
Songxia has been described as the umbrella capitol of the world, and for good reason: According to local estimates, about half a billion umbrellas, or 30% of China's production, are made here, supplied by more than 1000 factories. One single worker makes about 300 umbrellas a day. The city's factories, which lie two hours south of Shanghai, make "rain umbrellas, golf umbrellas, beach umbrellas, folding umbrellas, promotional umbrellas, mini umbrellas, kids umbrellas, fashion umbrellas, parasol umbrellas, patio umbrellas, clear umbrellas, wedding umbrellas, market umbrellas, etc." That's a lot of umbrellas!
7. THE UMBRELLA COVER MUSEUM IN MAINE BOASTS THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF UMBRELLA COVERS IN THE WORLD.

You know those things your umbrella comes inside of? Those nylon sleeves that are supposed to protect it from ruining anything else in your bag but that you inevitably lose? Well, there's an entire museum devoted to umbrella covers. Nancy Hoffman is the curator and director of the Umbrella Cover Museum on Peaks Island in Maine, a 20 minute ferry ride away from Portland. Hoffman started her collection when she found a few stray umbrella sheaths in her house and stole another one from a department store, giving birth to her collection, which now numbers over 700.
8. A MYSTERIOUS "UMBRELLA MAN" WAS PRESENT AT JFK'S ASSASSINATION.
November 22, 1963, was a clear, balmy day, perfect for a drive with the top down in a convertible. But shortly after noon in Dallas, as President John F. Kennedy's car drove past Dealey Plaza, a man opened his umbrella and waved it from east to west. Moments later, a shower of gunshots fell from the sky and killed the 35th president of the United States. Afterward, the man—who would later become known as the "Umbrella Man" and was the subject of a recent New York Times "op-doc"—sat down before leaving and heading toward the Texas School Book Depository.
Why did he have an umbrella? Was he signaling the assassin(s)? Did he have a gun attached to the umbrella that delivered the fatal wounds? These questions were debated for years among the press and conspiracy theorists alike, but never quite answered until Louie Steven Witt appeared in front of the House Select Committee on Assassinations a decade later to testify about his umbrella, claiming he'd not only been unaware of the brouhaha but also that he was simply heckling the president for his father's role in working with former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in appeasing Adolf Hitler before World War II (Chamberlain's fashion accessory of choice was a black umbrella). Of course, some conspiracy theorists don't accept that explanation, and the debate over the Umbrella Man keeps on humming.
And it's not the only umbrella that may or may not be involved in an assassination: Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was stabbed with an umbrella whose tip lodged the poison ricin into the man's thigh, killing him in a matter of days.

The University of Texas System Board of Regents on Monday authorized spending up to $4.5 million to prepare a bid to operate Los Alamos National Laboratory, a key part of the nation's nuclear weapons complex.
The spending vote was not a surprise, as the board encouraged its staff last month to explore development of a bid. The regents still would have to vote again before submitting a proposal to the federal government to operate Los Alamos, which is tucked into the mountains of northern New Mexico.
The UT System, partnering with Lockheed Martin Corp., lost a bid to operate Los Alamos in 2005. The system later joined with the Texas A&M University System, the University of New Mexico, the Boeing Co. and Battelle Memorial Institute in a failed bid to run Sandia National Laboratories, also based in New Mexico.
Sandia and Los Alamos are part of the Energy Department, whose current secretary, Rick Perry, is a former Texas governor [Note: Considering the history, that's why this fool's errand is HILARIOUS].
A bid to run Los Alamos, which has 11,200 employees and a $2.5 billion budget, would be a quest for the prestige, the opportunity for national service and the legacy that attach to the institution charged with ensuring that the nation's nuclear weapons would work as intended, without actually detonating them.
Running the lab wouldn't necessarily be pure glory, though, because mistakes could damage the UT System's reputation [Note: Gee...ya think?!?].
Industry partners, and perhaps academic partners, would be part of the UT System team, and UT-Austin would have a key role, officials have said. But unlike the previous bids involving the UT System for Los Alamos and Sandia, the system would be the lead player if it goes forward with the initiative.
What the [REDACTED] is DON Huffines thinking?!?


New York City police have arrested a Brooklyn man they say punched a six-months-pregnant woman in the back of the head on Thursday. He hit her as part of the notorious "knockout game," police say.
Willie Stephens, 33, fled the scene after hitting 34-year-old Jannatul Ferdous in the back of the head as she walked with her sister in Bedford-Stuyvesant, authorities told the New York Post. Ferdous' sister called police and described the attacker. Stephens was later captured just a few blocks from the crime scene. He was charged with assault.
Ferdous was knocked unconscious and was taken to a hospital for treatment. But she and her unborn baby weren't seriously hurt.
Police believe the attack was part of the "knockout" game, which rose in popularity among teens last year. The "knockout game" involves people sneaking up behind random pedestrians and viciously hitting them with a single punch.
Several people have died over the last year in attacks blamed on the game. Last May, two teenagers in Syracuse struck 51-year-old Michael Daniels and stomped him to death. A 13-year-old and 15-year-old were arrested in that attack, the Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Amrit Marajh, 28, of Brooklyn was charged with aggravated harassment in the second degree as a hate crime, third-degree assault, and third-degree assault in December for attacking a 24-year-old Jewish man in Borough Park as part of a "knockout" attack.
Who Is Brooklyn's 'Knockout Game' Suspect?

IHMR, driving the health care sector
Those specialising in health management are equipped with the knowledge of programme planning, implementation, non-governmental organisation management and applied epidemiology, reports Bhuma Shrivastava. Top 10 health care management institutes | Special: Campus Calling
By Bhuma Shrivastava | None, New Delhi
Once upon a time, begins S.D. Gupta, director of Jaipur's Institute of Health Management and Research (IHMR), nobody really thought about health economics or health financing or networking with non-profits. "People wondered what I was talking about," he recalls of the early 1980s when he struggled to explain the contours of his subject.
Twenty-four years and 35 research projects later, the institute has not only made "health management" an accepted term in the jargon of the development sector in India, it has also bred competition for itself. "Now we face competition for every project or research study we pitch for. We are suffering from our own efforts of making this field popular," says Gupta.
But that's a good problem to have, right? Good problems such as these help Gupta place more than 100 students every year in jobs, at a time when corporate hospitals, state governments and drug makers are scrambling for skilled people. "It is a trade-off," he muses, an epidemiologist who got his doctoral degree from the US' first research university, John Hopkins.
IHMR, formerly the Indian Institute of Health Management and Research—it dropped the extra "I" a few years ago after the words "National" or "Indian" were made the exclusive preserve of government educational institutes—was established in 1984 by a charitable society set up by the Aggarwals promoter group that now owns a host of businesses in logistics, power and textiles.
Till 1989, IHMR remained a research institute—an activity that still characterizes the institute and remains its biggest revenue churner. The teaching courses took off almost six years later in 1995, when a rejuvenated Gupta returned from the US, infected with the Ivy League academician's virus that would eventually metamorphose into the country's best health management institute.
Gupta introduced the teaching courses for the first time in 1989, but within a year he took off to John Hopkins to pursue his doctoral degree and the programme went downhill. It was totally grounded in 1994 and resurrected in a redesigned format in 1995 when Gupta rejoined it.
The institute currently awards postgraduate diplomas with specialization in pharmaceutical management, hospital management and health management for administering the public health systems. It takes 120 students every year who have sat through the MAT entrance, followed group discussion and an interview.
The courses in the two-year programme cut across bio-statistics, epidemiology, marketing, organizational behaviour to health economics, quality assurance and various research methods. The hospital management specialization takes the students deeper into issues such as legal framework, health insurance, hospital planning, waste, materials and equipment management.
Those specializing in health management are equipped with the knowledge of programme planning, implementation, non-governmental organization management and applied epidemiology while the group looking at drug makers—a relatively new area for IHMR—branches off into drug production, marketing, clinical trials, patent laws and regulatory affairs.
Many institutes give the cliché of how they carve out students' personality and build communication skills. IHMR walks the talk. For the first seven days, every new student is put through something called "human process labs", in which they are fielded before half a dozen behavioural scientists. They are then put through ice-breaking communication exercises, group dynamics, games and therapy sessions. A good portion of IHMR students comes from the smaller, mofussil towns and such "labs" help add confidence and effervescence to their diligent and malleable minds.
"Students come from different backgrounds and such exercises harmonize them, bond them together," said S.K. Puri, a doctor and retired army brigadier who is now the academics dean for IHMR.
The academician, who used to be a paratrooper in the Indian army and went to Sri Lanka in 1987 as part of the controversial Indian Peace Keeping Force, had ample opportunity to master his subjects. He had put the 1,000-bed hospital in war-torn Jaffna back on track, battling insufficient supplies of oxygen, blood, anaesthesia and linen even as casualties poured in faster than his hands could work on them.
Managing any hospital—even the trickiest ones—seems like a pudding after that, says Puri. His tryst with war-like life situations seems to have rubbed off on his students. "One thing that this institute taught us was crisis management. Every student coming out of here is ready to say 'yes' to any challenge that comes his way," said Sangeeta Tikyani, a pass-out of 2007 batch and currently employed with Gujarat government.
In charge of district hospitals in Junagadh and Bhuj, she is upgrading them to qualify for accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals. She turned down several offers from corporate groups to choose this because "there is so much to do in public health care and the fruits of my labour are so quick to come by".
Some others are less altruistic. Pankaj Kumar, 26, and Tikyani's junior by a year who has also been hired by the Gujarat government, is eyeing a business in medical tourism over time.
Students such as Tikyani and Kumar are attracting recruiters over the years. Corporate hospitals such as Apollo Group, Max Healthcare and Wockhardt Hospitals are scouting for recruitees along with information technology firms such as Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, Infosys Technologies Ltd and Wipro Ltd, drug makers Cipla Ltd and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd, public health organizations such as Oxfam International, HelpAge India and Janani (of Patna).
Interestingly, the biggest employer in IHMR is the government of Gujarat. Its peers, the governments of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and—more recently—Orissa, have also begun catching up.
The fee of Rs3.40 lakh—along with a laptop, insists Puri—for an entire course doesn't stick out as an outlier in an industry when its metropolitan counterparts charge double that amount.
IHMR boasts of agreements with a dozen universities such as John Hopkins, New Jersey Institute of Technology and University of Heidelberg in Germany.
One peeve, however. The hectic pace of studies in the institute has led to a sort of pedagogic amnesia. The process has created a rote-and-barf routine on the syllabi as the students are always on a trot. Both Puri and Gupta acknowledged this flaw and hope that moving to a semester system from this year on, will remedy that.

Uglyworld #308 - Jeero Making Fun Of Cinko (26/365), originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.
As you know Jeero isn''t the smartest ugly on the block (rumour is it he preferred standing in the pudding queue to the one involved with handing out brains), but he tries to cover this up by making fun of the youngster of the group, Cinko.
I never let the fun go too far as it wouldn't be fair on Cinko, but just between you and me - Cinko knows what's going on and just plays along with it most of the time to make Jeero feel better.
In this case Cinko wanted to play the Xbox360 and Jeero handed him the battery charger and told him it was a new state of the art controller.
LOLz! I am so happy I found your blog. Please, post every day, your pictures are amaizing and I love your little guys!

Q: count(*) in each of previous 25 months separately I have a database name "d" and there is table name "t"...
t has two columns id and month...
I have to calculate no of ids in each month.
actually, I am taking an input in $monthyear, now I want to store count(id) of previous 25 month in a $row
I use this type of commands
    $search = "SELECT * FROM `d`.`t` where id>2";
    $result = mysqli_query($con, $search);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

please tell me a query which can do this trick and can you store it like
$row[0]="no of ids in the inputed month"
$row[1]="no of ids in the [inputed month - 1 month]"
$row[2]="no of ids in the [inputed month - 2 month]"

and so on....
note: both month and "years" do matter.

A: If not all month has IDs , then you need to use a derived table. Something like this:
SELECT t.monthyear, COALESCE(COUNT(s.monthyear),0) as numOfID
FROM(SELECT '012016' as monthyear
     UNION ALL
     SELECT '022016'
     ....) t
LEFT JOIN YourTable s
 ON(t.monthyear = s.monthyear)
GROUP BY t.monthyear
