CodeBetter blog has one main goal – introduce developers to better tools, methodologies and practices within software development. They are focused on technical content that is actually relevant rather than filling their blog with random fluff to increase the views.
What makes CodeBetter different from other blogs is that they avoid writing about stuff that does not work and spend time criticizing it. They focus on pointing out what's good and worth your time.
The blog can definitely be trusted in terms of information as the writers post purely based on their personal experiences and knowledge.
You will find plenty of code examples and innovative techniques here. It is perfect for developers who are focused on Microsoft technologies, especially .Net based languages, Sql Server, Sharepoint, BizTalk, server platforms and other software.
I also could not have had the opportunity to move forward without the support of a tremendous community, who has contributed to Chocolatey's success in many ways.


We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 208 genomes from 53 families affected by simplex autism. For the majority of these families, no copy-number variant (CNV) or candidate de novo gene-disruptive single-nucleotide variant (SNV) had been detected by microarray or whole-exome sequencing (WES). We integrated multiple CNV and SNV analyses and extensive experimental validation to identify additional candidate mutations in eight families. We report that compared to control individuals, probands showed a significant (p = 0.03) enrichment of de novo and private disruptive mutations within fetal CNS DNase I hypersensitive sites (i.e., putative regulatory regions). This effect was only observed within 50 kb of genes that have been previously associated with autism risk, including genes where dosage sensitivity has already been established by recurrent disruptive de novo protein-coding mutations (ARID1B, SCN2A, NR3C2, PRKCA, and DSCAM). In addition, we provide evidence of gene-disruptive CNVs (in DISC1, WNT7A, RBFOX1, and MBD5), as well as smaller de novo CNVs and exon-specific SNVs missed by exome sequencing in neurodevelopmental genes (e.g., CANX, SAE1, and PIK3CA). Our results suggest that the detection of smaller, often multiple CNVs affecting putative regulatory elements might help explain additional risk of simplex autism.

NRT: "The worst of the worst"
Written By: notices and features - Date published: 10:43 am, April 30th, 2013 - 176 comments
Categories: crime, law and "order", national - Tags: 3 strikes, crime, lies, no right t
I/S at No Right Turn on the difference between what was promised of the "3 strikes" law and the way it is being used in practice.
"The worst of the worst"
When National passed its "three strikes" legislation in 2010, they promised that it would not be like California's, and target shoplifters, drug dealers, and other petty criminals. Instead, it would be used on "the worst of the worst". Throughout the debates (which are linked to from here), they repeatedly referred to "the worst murderers", the "worst serious violent offenders" and the "worst" sexual offenders. So who are actually they using it on?Dumbarse muggers:
The controversial "three strikes" legislation has seen a young man jailed without parole and warned that if he steals another skateboard, hat or cellphone he will spend 14 years behind bars.
In issuing Elijah Akeem Whaanga, 21, his second strike, Judge Tony Adeane told the Hastings man his two "street muggings" that netted "trophies of minimal value" meant his outlook was now "bleak in the extreme".
"When you next steal a hat or a cellphone or a jacket or a skateboard you will be sent to the High Court and there you will be sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment without parole," Judge Adeane said.
So, it turns out that National were lying. Judith Collins thinks that this is an example of the law working. I guess she's forgotten all the assurances she gave back in 2010.
If our legal system thinks that this dumbarse is among "the worst of the worst", or that his crimes merit 14 years imprisonment without parole, then it is fundamentally disproportionate and unjust. If our politicians think it is anything other than a waste of public money, then they are simply insane.
But its hard to see how, if this moron gets to a third strike, the Bill of Rights Act's affirmation of freedom from disproportionately severe treatment or punishment would not be invoked. Which should see the law being "read down" to include discretion on sentencing where it would be manifestly unjust (something that only exists at present for the parole decision). The politicians will squeal, but if they won't obey the BORA as they promised, the courts will just have to do it for them.
(I'd suggest that juries simply start refusing to convict people where legislated sentences woudl be unjust, as they did in the C17th in response to the"Bloody Code", but National deprived most people of the right to trial by jury last year…)

Garth McViagra practically came in his pants praising the judge.
This kid needs help, not jail. Meanwhile today Hanover crooks go free…
Oh, NRT I really appreciate your generosity in sharing posts. Like most I'm time poor and can only check so many blogs. You work tirelessly for justice and I appreciate the Standard carrying some of your posts.
aerobubble 1.1
McVicar is an idiot, information can be used for good or bad. So the idea that he would out judges who gave lite sentences, if judges were to alter their sentence as a result, could possibly lead to judges being targeted… …or even a judge calling McVicar into their court and locking them up for interference in justice.

No mention of the 72 previous convictions.
No mention of the indecent assault or aggravated (ie: beat the crap out of the victim) robberies.
Just a fine upstanding citizen.
The real question is: Why does Labour love cuddling up to crims?
Pascal's bookie 2.1
"aggravated (ie: beat the crap out of the victim) "
You should probably do some homework on that one there chap.
Someone walks aup to you in the street and robs you : Robbery
Does same thing but has a mate standing next to him: Aggravated robbery.
TheContrarian 2.1.1
Nonetheless 72 convictions is a fair bit, no? Which has already included jail time and indecent assault.
Not really the example I would have chosen in order to highlight the perceived absurdity of this law.
(for the record I am not a supporter of the 3 strikes law)
One Anonymous Knucklehead 2.1.1.1
"I am not a supporter of the 3 strikes law"
You just vote for the party that passes it into law, then wash your hands of the consequences. Classy.
TheContrarian 2.1.1.1.1
"You just vote for the party that passes it into law, then wash your hands of the consequences"
Rather a big assumption there.
One Anonymous Knucklehead 2.1.1.1.1.1
That's not a denial.
You should be a Detective
mickysavage …
Did you really vote Labour?
He doesn't know. He might have said he did but he doesn't remember that. And what of it? Can't he just make anecdotes up to suit the conversation at the time?
Say, that's great.
Thought you'd like it.
Pascal's bookie 2.1.1.2
@ Contra "Not really the example I would have chosen in order to highlight the perceived absurdity of this law."
lol, you just made an argument "NeilM" has been using, I'd almost rather find myself doing a Pete George. Almost, but it's pretty close.
What's a NeilM?

A thing no one in good standing would want to resemble.
One Anonymous Knucklehead 2.2
The real question is: where does a low-life piece of trash like Ruobeil get off pretending that a call for a rational approach to penal policy equates to "cuddling up to crims"?
Sub-moronic scum like Ruobeil, Graham Capill and David Garrett have distorted this discussion for too long. Enough is enough: it's time to get tough on right wing cretins.
Ruobeil 2.2.1
Still haven't been to those anger management classes yet Knucklehead?
Glad to see you defending crims – then again anything for a few votes eh?
It's very very simple Ruobeil: you support policies that increase crime rates. Are you saying anger isn't a perfectly valid response to your making things worse?
Murray Olsen 2.3
Independent research shows that 73 out of every 72 convictions are based on torture, police perjury, and the denial of human rights.
On the other hand, John Banks is being fairly prosecuted at the moment, Hutton was an upstanding gardener, and GCSB operatives have boasted of their law breaking ways. When will Tories stop cuddling up to crims?
Puddleglum 2.4
What do the 72 previous convictions have to do with the three strikes law?
Presumably, that law refers to convictions of a particular severity rather than any old convictions (e.g., multiple parking fines). Or are you implying that the three strikes legislation is actually just cover for getting at petty criminals rather than the 'worst of the worst'? (i.e., just as NRT argues).
Unless, of course, the 72 convictions were all for murder, rape or grievous assault. Were they?
That's right; indecent assault is petty.
Wonder whether the victim believes that?
Using the victim as a human shield won't help your argument. The policies you support have led to a 50% recidivism rate when other countries achieve 20%. That's 30% more victims, all to gratify your twisted vigilantism.

I am no fan of this law but in this case I think his from the same article is relevant…
Whaanga's offending stretches back to 2006, including burglary, theft, resisting arrest and indecent assault. He served a short prison sentence in early 2010.
In July that year, he and an accomplice committed aggravated robbery. Whaanga punched the victim in the head multiple times before taking $68. For that he earned his first strike in December 2010 and was sentenced to jail for two years and one month.
He was freed on parole in April last year. The Parole Board said he had behaved well in prison, where he had resided in the Maori Focus Unit. He had completed a drug programme and a Maori therapeutic programme and was released on a number of conditions for six months.
Four months later he committed two aggravated robberies with two separate accomplices.
The first involved taking a skateboard, hat and cigarette lighter from the victim after trying unsuccessfully to remove the victim's jacket. The second involved Whaanga kicking the victim in the back of his leg and taking his hat and cellphone.
Whaanga pleaded guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery and was sentenced in Napier District Court on April 18.
Tigger 3.1
And jail will do nothing to change him. Certainly not Jail Inc.
FOR. FUCK'S. SAKE.
He needs HELP. He DOES NOT NEED JAIL.
Yes, he's this and he's that. Dammit, you made me write in caps and I hate doing that.
It's our system that is broken, our society, not this kid.
dumrse 3.2.1
Agreed get him out now. Let him thump the next innocent kid so hard he falls and dies. Then what? Your fucking spots gonna change.
Your fucking stupidity certainly isn't.

I'm sure there are better people to 'help'.

I think we have to bear in mind that he has a significant record, and we're not just talking about nicking an unattended skateboard, there's far more evil behavior involved. From Stuff:
The way I see it is that he knows what is expected of him, and what the consequences will be if he misbehaves. Bear in mind that all we're asking is that he DOESN'T BREAK THE LAW, it's not that hard…..
Jane 4.1
Snap! 🙂
"it's not that hard…"
Do you understand the significance of the phrase "neuro-disability"? I guess not.
Sh!t even I've never heard of that. Get him a benefit quick. Better still I will work harder and longer and you can just take some more tax from me. He's a fucking criminal, when will he learn, more importantly when will the left learn.
Learn what? How to reduce recidivism rates, or how to reduce crime in general? Solutions abound, mostly provided by the Left, but what I don't understand is why you want to make things worse, and why not one wingnut can produce a single substantive contribution.
Go on, call me soft on crime again you witless gimp.
Murray Olsen 4.2.1.2
Even more tax will be taken off you to keep him in prison. You are asking the wrong people to raise taxes in this case, and NAct will only raise them if you're earning the sort of lowish income that your abilities deserve. If you're earning heaps, NAct will tax someone else anyway, and any party which cut down prison numbers would be spending less, so don't worry, be happy……….
So that explains your problem with anger management?
I'm not sure. Does it explain your weird vigilante fantasies?
framu 4.3
ok – so he deserves to go in front of the court – i dont think anyones saying he should get off scott free
but seeing as three strikes is meant to be reserved for the worst of the worst how does any of those facts relate to the three strikes law?
its not a law that says, "do lots of crime and well lock you up for ages" – its meant to be for the most despicable violent offenders going.
yes he robbed people – yes he was violent, but is three strikes the right answer here? Has it been applied in the circumstances we were sold?
Its his previous record of violence that is the factor with three strikes, not his previous record of offending as a whole
Saccharomyces 4.3.1
Do you understand the three strikes law? All it means is that IF Mr Whaanga commits another of the crimes under the three strikes law he will receive the maximum sentence applicable for the crime, no parole.
It DOESN'T mean that if he shoplifts that he'll get slammed with a life sentence. It DOESN'T mean that if he gets caught drunk driving that he'll get a life sentence.
It DOES mean that if he commits sexual assault he'll get 7 years no parole. It DOES mean that if he commits an indecent act on a child he'll get 10 years no parole. It DOES mean that if he assaults with intent to rob he will get 7 years.
For reference a list of the offences and applicable non-parole sentences can be found here: http://news.tangatawhenua.com/archives/5230
framu 4.3.1.1
yeah – thats exactly my point.
i said "yes he robbed people – yes he was violent, but is three strikes the right answer here? Has it been applied in the circumstances we were sold?
read it again
Saccharomyces 4.3.1.1.1
I think it is the right answer here. He has a proven record of violent offending. Pretty simple……. he should be stepped up to maximum sentence for future crimes.
I'd argue that punching someone MULTIPLE times in the head before taking their money is pretty despicable.
People have died from being punched in the head……
Then get yourself admitted to the bar, get yourself selected as a High Court judge, and pass harsh sentences. Otherwise get your filthy hands off our justice system.
Saccharomyces …
Well if you don't agree with the three strike rule than get yourself elected to parliament, present a bill, get the support to get it passed into law.
Otherwise stop moaning about the law.
One Anonymous Knucklehead …
Nah, I think I'll carry on treating your delusions with the ridicule and contempt they so richly deserve, but thanks all the same.
DavidC …
O.A.K
You are a crim cuddling fuckwit of the first order.
This guy has committed 5 strike offences that we know of and he is 21?
His SOP is to conscript young people with little or no criminal background to help him. So this POS drags gulible but otherwise pretty ok "kids" into a life of crime with him.
Yeah not worth 14 years behind bars. Maybe a couple.
BM …
Be easier just to shoot the useless fuck.
Or at the least sterilize him so he can't pass on his scummy genetics
Ah, genetics. Do go on…
We should give up judicial independence because some people commit crime? I don't think you're seeing this clearly. Oh, and by the way, the policies you support lead to increased crime. Yes, they do: read the links provided below.
So which one of us is the fuckwit?
CV.
If your kid lay in hospital braindamaged by this POSwould you still say its worth just a couple of years? Get real.
Giving someone a beating one to one is 7 years max, there is a reason that making is a team event is 14 years. That is what this piece of human scum does time after time, when he is not commiting indecent assult of course.
Anyone got a list of his 70 previos offences?
Brain damage to kids now?
Fuck me this is good. We pretend this one person has done something so we can have a knee-jerk emotional response to it.
Then we fantasise a punishment sufficient for our own gratification.
Then we extend and apply that punishment to the general case. And it's appropriate in the general case because it was appropriate in our made-up one.
Felix.
I assume your crawling comment was aimed at me.
You do realise if you punch someone in the head enough to actually knock them over there is a very real chance of doing lasting damage.
This isnt the movies where you hit someone and they spring back up after a 15 second nap.
Pretend what?
Care to list a violent offence this cunt hasnt perpetrated on society? rob a bank? no not yet. But still he is only 21.
Don't you mean 'eugenics', Felix?
I'm always reminded of the Sopranos episode 'Boca' in these debates. Where Tony has to be reminded that Coach Hauser's offending isn't all about him. It's just unfortunate that our resident wingnuts don't even have the minimal understanding that a fictional mafioso can muster.
Here's big tough DavidC to call everyone names though.
David C: I know this is hard for you to follow, but you either said or implied that CV was unsympathetic to an imaginary child with brain damage only because it wasn't his child.
I was simply pointing out that it's far more likely that CV's lack of sympathy for the brain-damaged child stems from the fact that he didn't know you were imagining one.
TheContrarian: No, I'm pretty sure Blue said "genetics" before disappearing in a cloud of sense-of-humour.
Felix..
CV said not 14 yrs but 2.
I questioned his imaginary piety it it were his child that had been beaten down and damaged by this person that you want to walk free.
Who said he should walk free? Are you lashing out because it's been pointed out to you that you support policies which increase crime rates? Get over it.
Its pretty hard for scum like Whaanga to cause more crime while his is locked up. (other than crime on other crims of course)
Care to explaim how he can beat CVs kids up while behid bars?
Care to acknowledge that "get tough" policies create more crime? Care to address the way increased economic inequality leads to a rise in violence? Or are you still jerking off over your wet-dreams of vengeance?
Ah, so David means to lock him up forever. Why didn't he say so?
And presumably he doesn't just mean this one guy – cos that'd be really dumb, basing all this on one guy – so I guess we're going to need a hell of a lot more prisons.
ps David, thanks for admitting (9:39) that it was all in your head.
But if everybody who punched other people in the head more than once got a three strikes warning, the prisons would overflow (and mcvictim would get a pay bonus, if you believe the SS funding theories).
This guy isn't a serial rapist or murderer. He's a dumb kid who likely needs psych care rather than prison. And more importantly, the longer we ignore the poverty and social neglect large sectors of this country face, the more dumb kids in need will be wandering the streets, alienated and unemployable.
But that's a bit sophisticated for folk who can only understand issues around criminal justice by way of american sporting analogies.
framu 4.3.1.1.1.3
so would i – but one of these strikes appears to be because he kicked someone in the back of the leg
dont get me wrong here, i hate theives, and ive been burgled, assaulted and mugged before. But i dont think its up there with the graham bells and tony dicksons of this world.
sure we need to do something, but is jumping straight to full volume actually solving anything in the long term? Couldnt we get a better, long term result here?
I'm not trolling or attacking your statement, I'd just like to hear some ideas….
I'd just like to hear some ideas…
Yeah right. The right-wing reaction to Blameless Babes says different.
Reason and wingnut sentencing policy said goodbye long ago.
McFlock …
Case response: throw social workers at him, rather than other more practised criminals. Restorative justice meetings. Supervision.
Strategic prevention:
Boost resources to health (including/especially mental health), social welfare and education. Cheaper than prisons.
framu …
do i need to give you an example for you to evaluate the question?
"is jumping straight to full volume actually solving anything in the long term?"
Saccharomyces, you can understand the undigested grains and cellulose in this piece of shit as much as you like, it'll still be a piece of shit.
It removes judicial discretion, and is therefore an attack upon society, and represents yet another example of how low intelligence is a gateway to conservatism.
This little shit wandering around beating people up and stealing their stuff is the attack upon society.
His behaviour is a symptom. Low quality right-wing penal, economic and social policy is the disease.
His offending goes back to when there was a left-wing government was in power, so was it their policies that were the disease?
The fifth Labour government reduced inequality but nowhere nearly enough: without the benign effects of the introduction of lead-free petrol I expect things would be much worse.
Get a clue about penal policy. Our recidivism rate is over 50%. Norway's is around 20%. Did they achieve that with "get tough" policies? Of course they did, and then you woke up.
50% recidivism means that people like you and Graham Capill have caused more crime with your witless vandalism. Own it.
"people like you and Graham Capill"
Classy, reeeeal classy.
I'm referring to his advocacy for tougher sentencing policy that resulted in the 1999 referendum, and yes, if I were keeping that kind of company I'd reassess my opinions.
Sure you were, dear, sure you were.
😆 ok ok it's a fair cop guvnor.
Leaving aside the Capillesque nature of "get tough" policies, they've failed. It's time to do something that actually reduces recidivism.
@Saccharomyces
That's for the second strike. The third strike means, as the judge said, he will go away for 14 years no parole.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8569913/Your-kid-could-be-killed-next-dad-says
Meanwhile this timebomb will be released in a few short weeks and will very likely kill again. At the very least anyone who looks at him sideways will get hammered. He is a chronic violent alcoholic and is basically illiterate. He refused all rehab and education opportunities inside, yet still gets parole?
I know a victim of this criminal very well. The guy is currently living in fear of this violent thug's release. Real tangible fear that this maniac will discover where he moved to and succeed in his promise to finish him off. The really crazy part with this law is that despite the decades of relentless offending, another death would only qualify as his first strike.
Sentencing is only a part of the justice problems facing NZ.
Colonial Viper 6
The idiot Right Wingers will celebrate when this young guy gets put away for 14 years for his next petty crime.
Until he comes out of prison having become a hardened, criminally well connected inmate in his 30's, turning up on a street near you.
Boy this country just has no idea on crime and punishment, and both National and Labour are responsible.
No I think the victims of his crimes might celebrate. You do remember them don't you?
You fucking worm, using crime victims to peddle your disgusting hateful shite.
Blue 6.1.1.1
Not at all. I would have thought that you would have considered them as a matter of human decency, but no, you clearly don't care. The victim to you is clearly the criminal. Stop being hysterical and pull your head out of your arse.
One Anonymous Knucklehead 6.1.1.1.1
What part of my concern for our 50% recidivism rate are you having trouble with, you tiresome cretin?
Blue 6.1.1.1.1.1
The fact that you show more concern for the recidivism rate than the victims. Thought that was clear, you terminally unemployable dullard.
Hey shit for brains
OAK is concerned about a high recidivism rate in part because a high recidivism rate by definition creates a lot of new, avoidable victims. Lower the recidivism rate, avoid creating new crimes and new victims.
Meanwhile you are busy looking in the rear view mirror at yesterday's victims while you continue driving ahead with a system ploughing through more new ones.
You really haven't thought this through, have you, "dullard".
Much laughter
"Unemployable"? I must see that my employer and clients get the memo.
Wanting fewer victims ≠ no concern for victims. I should have thought that was obvious, but I guess I just over-estimated your ability. English comprehension 101, perhaps?
PS: Oh, and while I'm on the subject, my concern for the victims is what generates my contempt for your use of them as crime porn, Blue.
Ruobeil 6.1.1.1.1.2
Forgotten to take your anger management medication again Knucklehead?
1. Lose the argument.
2. Attack the messenger.
3. Pretend (1) never happened.
Aren't you all assuming he hasn't already had (repeatedly) social workers, social agencies, youth workers " thrown at him" ad nauseum up to this point? I think it can be reasonably assumed he has, to no effect. Getting upset about a serialviolent offender and thief , who also enjoys indecently assaulting people, is just being precious for the sake if it
Colonial Viper 7.1
Capital punishment. Why not line him up against the wall and shoot him then.
Blue 7.1.1
Oh for goodness sake stop being hysterical. Why don't you have him round for tea CV ? You clearly think he's a lovely misunderstood boy. If he misbehaves you can talk him through his problems.
Why don't you have me 'round for tea and we can have a civilised discussion about Mr. Strawman and why you don't seem to be able to construct an argument without his help.
Blue 7.1.1.1.1
Yeah, that's what I figured.
What. You were serious? FFS how lonely are you ?
Serious? On the contrary, I was illustrating how utterly moronic your response to CV is.
Blue …
He swings aaaaaaaand he misses.
Drop the 3rd person stuff mate, it's not you.
Blue, in your mind it's all about this one offender. In reality we're discussing judicial independence and the long-established separation of powers. Can you see the difference?
Judicial independence is a crock, why do you think there is mandatory life sentence for murder ? It is a deterrent, you're clearly getting confused, but Ill explain it to you. If … he… doesn't …assault….rob….or sexually assault ….any ….innocent people he will stay …out…..of …jail. Do you believe this idiot should have 2,3,10 more opportunities to prey on the public? What number of chances did you have in mind ?
"Judicial independence is a crock".
Paging Dr. Dunning-Kruger. It's nice of you to attempt a substantive argument, sweety, but I think you may need to expand on it a little.
So unlimited chances then? Ok
No. You need to read what I wrote and respond to that, as opposed to constructing cretinous strawmen.
I asked you how many chances and you did not respond. How many chances should criminals get for repeating the same crime before getting the maximum sentence?
One more time. Ju. Di. Ci. Al. In. De. Pen. Dence.
I want you to lift your game, get out of the gutter, so I'm not answering your bullshit leading questions, I'm not in the slightest bit interested in your false frames and ridiculous strawmen.
They stupidise the discussion, but thanks all the same.
Feeble; mired in ignorance.
It is a deterrent
No it's not. At least, not an effective one.
How do you know it's not effective ? Are you using this horrible boy as an example ? He has been warned now, if he ignores the warning that is a choice he has made. I imagine most people would agree that the removal of a criminal who violently preys on innocent people and clearly doesn't care about the harm he does, would benefit society.
How do we know it's ineffective? Research, my dear fellow: too many examples of reduced sentences and reduced crime going hand-in-hand.
In other words, we checked your ideas against reality and there's no correlation between the two.
maybe if the USA chucked another million black people into prison, black people would finally get the idea of deterrence?
DavidC 7.2.1.2.2
CV, to some people there is no deterrent so all that can be done is put them where they cannot maim more of civil society.
Even if that were true, it doesn't apply to a punk who steals skateboards.
you think this is about a skateboard?
Its about this persons lack of abilty to control himself.
How many offences on women or offences of violence do you need to rack up before a shit head like you McFlock says that this piece of flotsam should not be walking free.
Obviously you want him to rape and murder someone first huh?
Or just kill a child? most of his offences are against young people. brave bastard that he is.. Tag teaming against young weak oppisition.
drop him is a deep dark hole forever.
Pascal's bookie …
Who said a Judge shouldn't send him to jail?
And if you know exactly what he has done, why were you asking for a list of his convictions?
And why can't you argue this rationally rather than just ranting like the sort of loon we invented courts to protect our society from?
Questions abound.
he has offences for violence and indecent assult. He has 5 strike offences which is quite an amazing feat given he is 21 and spent 2 years inside.
70 isnt enouf.? Is 100 the number? 150? 500?
Nah you're asking the wrong question so no number will be correct.
The moment you chuck a young person in a prison for the first time, chances are you've fucked them permanently and made them into a multi-million dollar repeating over a lifetime guest of her Royal Majesty.
You've been kinda clear on the loony ranting part David, it was the other parts I was seeking info on, thanks.
Nice illustration.
You are quick to get aggravated, lack any ability to look beneath the surface of the situation, and immediately leap at the solution of getting medieval on a yoof.
I suggest that with a couple of lucky tweaks to life story you and he are largely interchangeable.
Maybe tories should be given three nact votes then mandatory imprisonment. /sarc
yoof? he is 21 years old.
Yeah lucky tweaks.. I have self control.
He is a rare beast. 1 in 300,000.
A deep hole is probably too good.
[lprent: As an observation after reading your comments tonight. There is little evidence on this site that you have much self-control. You certainly don't appear to think before writing. ]
If we dropped you in a deep hole would you come back with enough brain cells to muster an argument that can pass a basic reality test?
You knew it all by 21, eh.
18-20 is the peak of at risk behaviour, not the tail end. For that you need to go for 25 or even 30 year olds.
The fact is that this guy has greater chance of not reoffending if he stays in the community with social workers and education, rather than making his peer group consist entirely of criminals.
Where did you get 1:300k, by the way?
Here is a question for yhou..What would you do for this dear soul that hasnt already been done to stop his assault on society.
Do enlighten us you crim cuddling fuckwit.
Answer: your question is self-serving and irrelevant, and since you obviously lack the cognitive capacity to recognise the multitude of approaches I have referenced this evening, what is the point of repeating them?
"What would you do for this dear sould that hasnt already been done"
Still pretending you know anything about what's "already been done" in this particular instance I see. And still pretending it's relevant.
In short. You want to suck his cock and beg him to not beat you down afterward. You are at least his equal.
Imagine whatever you like; it's your wet-dream, not mine.
David's fantasies might seem a little odd, but at least now he's just imagining a consensual cock suck.
Before it was all brain-damaged children. That was weird.
I like the one where David gets to be the executioner, and we let him choose his own methods, but the leaky roof on the Deth-O-Matic shorts out the circuits and InspectiCorp turns out to have been subcontracting the job to HireACrim, so everyone escapes.
Why is it that scratching the surface of a "tough on crime" tory almost always reveals some hyper-sexualised obsession?
They do know that "penal" doesn't always refer to willies, right ?
Wasn't DavidC recently talking about people who just can't control themselves 😈
I have self control.
How, revealing.

David C
..rack up before a shit head like you McFlock says that this piece of flotsam should not be walking free.
Your choice of description of those opposing you shows your lack of ability to control yourself, potty mouth.
I didn't realise those cops down in the BOP had been thieves as well. I only knew about the serial violent offending, indecent assaults, and rape. What sort of sentence did you think was appropriate for them?
Next question. Why wasn't a huge fuss made in favour of life sentences in those cases?
I don't know, do you? Perhaps you should direct your questions to the judge in the case. You asked what I thought was appropriate for those filthy rapists and I told you. Violent sexual offenders are on the bottom of the humanity heap as far as I'm concerned. It was a long time ago and I can't recall the sentences, but I've given you my view.
Colonial Viper 7.3.1.1.1.1
Whereas depriving kids families of income and warmth is OK
No it's not
A clear majority of serious violent criminals come from highly troubled, unstable and poverty affected homes.
Sort that out, you won't need your gulags at the bottom of the cliff.
Murray Olsen 7.3.1.1.1.2
The judge didn't make a huge fuss. Neither did Garth McVicar, nor any of the usual suspects.
On the one hand, we have a young guy who's got real problems and insists on making them other people's as well. He comes from the bottom of society. Heaps of people want him locked up forever, or maybe a bit longer.
On the other, we have members of the establishment, the iron fist in the not so velvet glove, who abuse their positions to rape almost with impunity. They were given enormous powers by the state and used these to commit the most atrocious crimes. Even the PM at the time was unable to do much to change prevailing attitudes.
Why the difference? I'd say institutionalised racism explains it pretty well.
felix 7.4
"Aren't you all assuming he hasn't already had (repeatedly) social workers, social agencies, youth workers " thrown at him" ad nauseum up to this point? I think it can be reasonably assumed he has, to no effect. "
I don't see how that can be reasonably assumed at all. Especially if you're not willing to lay out the reasoning.
It is reasonable to assume that a chap with a long history of offending has been offered and directed to rehabilitation more than once. Are you saying that he has received no rehabilitation, social worker intervention in his time in the system ? It is not reasonable or logical to suggest otherwise. I'm struggling to see why you defend someone who preys on the public.
There's your problem, you see: you have somehow formed the stupid idea that we are defending this individual, when what we're defending is judicial independence. Can you see the difference between a basic tenet of law that goes back at least to the Magna Carta, and a person?
Are you suggesting that laws should not be changed in response to changes in society
, to changes in the type and severity of crimes being commited or to the prevalence of repeat offenders? There is also the reducing level of tolerence of criminals to account for. Three occasions committing the same crime means you're either an unbelievable cretin or a psychopath. Rather than waxing lyrical about the poor souls, what is your solution to these criminals?
Solutions? Simple: look at other countries to see who has the lowest recidivism rates (50% of our crims re-offend) and do what they do.
Of course laws change, but judicial independence isn't a law, it's a necessity. Public opinion-based "justice"? Not so much.
That's not a solution that's pointing and saying "look what they did" ( because I'm out of ideas).
*laugh*
because three strikes isn't exactly an example of ACT seeing a US policy and having a wank into a sock about it.
Like all their other policies.
Yep good call, I never said the idea was an original
And you forgot to check its utter failure to produce results too.
Results? Who said anything about stinking results?
This is about gratification.
Bored now my dear lefties. Have to go and oil my capitalist machine with my staffs blood, eat some puppies and close down an orphanage. Ciao.;)
Thanks, it's been tiresome and underwhelming; a valuable test of our patience.
The cure is a sense of humour.
Yes, laughter is a great aid to patience.

The judiciary are a part of the well-heeled power elite of this country, well connected to the business and political brokers. They generally live lives somewhat isolated from the economic and social realities for a great part of our society. We should be careful that they equally do not simply assume to impose judge law with primary concern a repeat offender's liberty to further offend without ramification. The sentencing changes were made in response to public concern about repeat offenders re-offending too often. I didn't mind the three-strikes law when I saw the list of offences. I think judges were too bad at picking which offenders should not be released on bail too often. I don't mind three strikes being applied in this case. I would hope it is applied equally to any offender of similar background regardless of race or station. But I support it only because it removes an immediate problem from the streets. It's a screaming shame & indictment that there are no alternatives, and nothing in the way of useful intervention in prison.
The sentencing changes were made in response to public concern about repeat offenders re-offending too often.
1.Says who? Citation needed.
2. If recidivism were the problem, why implement policy that makes it worse?
The policy was made in response to deliberate demagoguery and atrocious media ethics.
I seem to recall that the party promoting 'three strikes' got fuck all votes, and exactly one MP, and he only got there because he had a cup of tea with the PM.
1. Says who? My opinion only – but based on following media and public commentary at the time the legislation was introduced and passed. The 1999 CIR, even though it was appallingly worded, got a 91% yes vote for stronger penalties and better victim support from NZers.
2. If recidivism were the problem, why implement policy that makes it worse? I'm not convinced that it'll necessarily make it worse, and not in this offender's case. Seems to me he stands a good chance of getting worse left free to roam on his own initiative anyway.
Well the important point about this case is that his record of 70+ offences is not in any way relevant to his sentencing. I agree that it ought to be.
But the only offences that are relevant to his sentencing are the strikes. And they would be just as relevant, and in the same way, if those strike offences were the only ones he had.
So his record is just a big old red herring, actually.
I'm not convinced…
Clearly. Confused would be a better description. I expect it's because you've been letting Garth McVicar do your "thinking" for you.
Well, no, Garth could be wrong. Or right in some cases. So could you. What's your alternative solution to prevent this young man reoffending and anyone else becoming a victim, from the available alternatives at the moment?
Oh for fuck's sake! Are you incapable of reading the thread, the links provided therein? In the context of judicial independence what possible Earthly relevance is my opinion of the appropriate sentence for this individual?
Like Tony Soprano, I have come to realise that crime isn't all about me and my teenaged vigilante fantasies. Can you please make an attempt to grasp that?
"What's your alternative solution…"
Sorry, I don't follow. Has there been something proposed that might stop him reoffending?
All I've seen is calls for him to be locked up, which demonstrably fails in that respect.
Well if he's locked up it stops the offending for now. Judicial independence is never unconstrained.
Ah sorry, I had thought you might be unaware of the facts.
I didn't realise you'd actually made a conscious decision to ignore all the available evidence, all of which tells us that your approach increases recidivism
Murray Olsen …
When we consider penal policy, or social, financial or anything else, considering them solely on their effect on one person is very misleading. It's easy to lock this guy up, or even torture him to death. Sure, he wouldn't reoffend, but plenty of others would take his place. Concentrating on one person just makes more of the victims that McVicar pretends to support.
Exactly the same thing happens with unemployment – Paula Bennett can always take one beneficiary and get them a job. She can't get jobs for 200,000, so instead she wants to belittle and punish them.
These are not individual problems – they are systemic to society, even if they impact at the individual level. The answers must be found at the societal level, but those who don't believe in society are left with their creepy prison rape fantasies. We cannot let them win.
rosy …
"These are not individual problems – they are systemic to society, even if they impact at the individual level. "
Come on Murray, you know these people with the rape fantasies want no money spent on ensuring kids from dysfunctional homes have absolutely no support from society to improve their health, education and living conditions – parental responsibility and all that – yet when these kids grow up and violently offend, as some are bound to do, they quite forget they were willing to leave them in the mire and are eager as hell to spend the taxpayer dollar on their prison homes.
Murray Olsen 8
Apart from the fact that harsh punishment policies never seem to work and are often promoted by the likes of Cappill, I support equal treatment under the law for all. As it is, it's full on racism which begins when the Police decide to have a look at someone and doesn't stop until the brown guy is in prison and Garth McVicar has inadvertently left another stain in his leather knickers.
When a white guy is as likely to be stopped by the police, then arrested, then charged, then convicted, then imprisoned, as a young Maori, then and only then will I discuss sentencing. Until that day, I have as much interest in discussing the details of a racist system of oppression as I have in discussing recipes for whale meat.
Saw an excellent film that looks at the drug war in America and makes a link with the private prison industry there. It's called " The House I live in' directed by Eugene Jarecki. Shows what happens when there is a financial motive behind locking people up.

Michelle Alexander talked about her book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, in which she argues that the "get tough on crime" policies that began in the early 1970s were enacted in an effort to push back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement.

When your body burns food for fuel, it requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. A Metabolic Analysis measures the amount of oxygen being consumed during rest, and using that measurement, we can then calculate the calories burned during 24 hour a period. Based on your resting metabolic rate, we can determine your optimal daily caloric intake needed to safely lose weight gradually over a longer period of time.


This American Pheasant Tail Nymph pattern is an all season pattern depending on elevation. This American Pheasant Tail Nymph is broad spectrum pattern used to imitate many different mayfly nymphs, including Pale Morning Duns, Blue Winged Olives and most commonly in lakes Callibaetis mayfly nymphs. The Callibaetis mayfly has multiple species ranging in geographical location, but predominantly in the Western United States. Hatches occur throughout the season depending on location and this extends the life of the use of this pattern.
The original "Pheasant Tail" pattern is credited to an Englishman, Frank Sawyer, who composed his nymph pattern to imitate a number of nymphs, with the American Pheasant Tail Nymph variation being largely credited to Al Troth. These nymphs will typically inhabit slower waters with more aquatic vegetation. They can be found in multiple elevations and in streams, rivers and lakes alike.
In a lake or still body of water fish this pattern just below the surface on a sink and retrieve figure of eight, pausing intermittently to allow the nymph to remain submerged. When fishing this American Pheasant Tail Nymph, in streams or rivers, this pattern can be presented in a number of ways the most successful being a cast up stream like a dry fly and then allowing it to dead drift drag free. Alternatively, allow the nymph to sink slowly to the bottom just above the vegetation it often seeks and slowly raise the line on the drift, through the water table to attract attention. A slight variation on this is to actually tighten up the line or pull the line as your nymph approaches the lie of a fish you are sight fishing, and this will imitate the natural movement of the nymph through the water table. When fishing this pattern in lake allowing the pattern to drift to the bottom above the vegetation and retrieving the nymph in sharper, quicker pulls though the water table will attract attention.

No singular study in history has exclusively focused on Bonnie Parker. She is usually grouped with her companion Clyde Barrow or among other female outlaws of the Great Depression. The historiography of Bonnie remains largely inaccurate with portrayals of her either as ringleader of the Barrow Gang or the passive girlfriend aiding her criminal man. While the truth lies somewhere between these two statements, no effort has been made to fully understand Bonnie alone without Clyde.
The American news media of the 1930's gave Bonnie a very different public life than the one she lived privately. The media created the legend of Bonnie Parker, and by the time the famous 1967 movie was produced, the fictionalized Bonnie resembled nothing of the real Bonnie. Thus, Bonnie Parker lived a dual life: a private one remembered by her family members, and a public one portrayed in newspapers, films, and writings.

Hello! I'm Teacher Kayelene. You can call me Kaye for short. I have been teaching English for years now. I started with teaching English for Korean university,high school, middle school and also elementary students. Through that experience, I can say that my attitude and teaching skills has been honed into being the best teacher that I can be. I also took the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) last 2010, and got an Overall Band Score of 7. As an English teacher, I have developed a great deal of patience and sensitivity towards my students. I understand that learning English can be difficult and confusing sometimes. That's why I make sure that in my class, not only will you be gaining knowledge but also experience a fun-filled, substantial and breezy atmosphere. In addition, I strongly believe that PRACTICE is the main key in learning English. In my years of teaching, I have seen students improve from having zero to minimal English skills to fluent and confident speakers because they try to speak English at all times even if they only know a few words. So learning shouldn't just begin and end in class. You have to constantly repeat what you've learned over and over again. Remember: PRACTICE makes PERFECT. I hope to see you in my class!

Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods sported his Sunday red in a video he posted on his golfing progress.
Woods made the post at 5:01 p.m. Sunday and wrote "making progress" in the caption, In the nine second video, Woods settles in before swiping a golf ball off of the tee with his driver.
The 41-year-old had his fourth back surgery in April and hasn't played competitive golf since January. Woods' doctors cleared him to start pitching in August. In September he started hitting from 60 yards but still wasn't taking full swings. He admitted later that month that he might never return to the sport.
"Yeah, definitely," Woods told reporters in September when asked if he could see a scenario in which he doesn't return to competitive golf. "I don't know what my future holds for me. As I've told you guys, I'm hitting 60-yard shots."
Woods helped mentor the United States team to a Presidents Cup victory in early October in New Jersey.
Tiger posted another video of himself driving the ball on Oct. 10 and posted a video of an iron shot on Oct. 7.
"As I wrote earlier this summer, I had a few matters to work on with my doctors and I did that," Woods wrote on his blog on Sept. 22. "I'm feeling good, strong and doing really well. About my most recent surgery, it's nice not to live in pain anymore. I'm sleeping better because I don't have any nerve pain going down my leg. It makes a world of difference."


It is possible to seriously damage your garage door in case you do not do this properly and try to install the incorrect track radius onto your garage door. Your garage door next to make the ideal track. if you would really like to have a custom designed garage door, then a timber one goes to be the very first-class bet.
The costliest part appears to be the tracks. inside the event the tracks aren't in appropriate form, then the garage door might not open and close smoothly. If they're horizontal, they must be slanted to the again of the garage, if they will be vertical, then they need to be an exactly diploma. When you order tracks, not only are you going to want to understand the duration of the track to establish your price, but you'll need to be aware of the radius of the track.
Garage Door Track Lowes – What Is It?
Garage doors attract various prices based on several different things. If your garage door doesn't operate, the door is a possible hazard. Fortunately, a broken garage door is frequently a simple fix.
If it comes to garage doors, in the event that you bought a home warranty thinking it would restore your broken springs or other important garage door problem, then you're in for a costly disappointment. Painting a garage door adds substantial weight to a door which might influence the spring and the operation of the garage door and opener. When you discover that your garage door isn't opening smoothly, it may be attributed to a variety of things, one of which is the tracks. Garage doors made from wood supply the greatest aesthetic appearance, though they will likely need high maintenance and have a tendency to be more expensive.

Investor Group with $3 Trillion under Management Launches Latest Carbon Risk Initiative against Oil & Gas, Coal and Utility Companies Focused on the Value of Fossil Fuel Reserves
By Betty Moy Huber and Kevin J. Klesh on October 29, 2013 Posted in ESG, Social and Governance Matters
A coalition of over 70 international investors has sent letters to 45 of the world's top oil & gas, coal and electric power companies requesting that the companies assess and disclose potential reduced demand for their products or services due to current and probable future greenhouse gas reduction policies and/or the physical impacts of climate change. This campaign, the Carbon Asset Risk Initiative (or CARI) led by Ceres and the Carbon Tracker Initiative, is yet another institutional investor and not-for-profit campaign seeking to highlight risks inherent in carbon-intensive industries with the ultimate goal of moving toward renewable energy. CARI's main target appears to be oil & gas companies, particularly those with holdings in the carbon-intensive Canadian oil sands.
Under CARI, the companies are to conduct a risk assessment comparing a "business as usual" scenario against one in which GHG emissions are reduced by 80% by 2050. CARI is premised on the 2010 UN Cancun Agreements, which set forth a long-term international goal of limiting global warming to no more than 2 additional degrees Celsius and the International Energy Agency's 2012 conclusion that "[no] more than one-third of proven reserves of fossil fuel can be consumed prior to 2050 if the world is to achieve the 2°C goal." The investors suggest that, under this regime, proven fossil fuel reserves, and the companies that hold them, could be overvalued because unproduced reserves could, at least in part, become "unburnable" in a few decades if carbon policies effectively prohibit them from being tapped. Further, the investors note that in 2012 alone the 200 largest publicly traded fossil fuel companies collectively spent an estimated $674 billion on finding and developing new reserves that could become "unburnable."
The investors are currently seeking "disclosure that demonstrates [company] commitment to managing [these] risks." They also request information on the Board's role in overseeing this assessment. CARI states that it has so far received preliminary responses from 30 of the 45 companies to which it sent letters, with detailed answers expected to follow. While the Carbon Tracker Initiative states that "[m]any of" the responses "acknowledge that there is a legitimate risk issue around carbon reserves," it is unclear how much additional information could be expected from companies given the broadness of CARI's requests and uncertainty about how such information will be used by CARI.
Fossil fuel companies should expect Ceres and its supporters to push hard on this campaign, with other oil & gas, coal and utility companies expected as additional targets. That said, it is difficult to predict what real impact CARI will have, as it is premised in part on the Cancun Agreements, which are not legally binding. Also, it is unclear what leverage the investors have over the letter recipients, other than potentially bad press, and, for U.S. company recipients, the threat that the investors will submit related proxy proposals for shareholder vote and/or appeal to the SEC to require this disclosure. Many of these U.S. companies, however, have already received shareholder proposals on greenhouse gas topics in the past, and none have gained real traction. In addition, remarks from SEC Chair Mary Jo White earlier this month about investor requests for disclosure of "social matters" suggest that the SEC is leaning away from granting such requests, unless material.

Azov - Азов  - és una ciutat de Rússia a la província de Rostov. Es troba a la vora del riu Don a 16 km de la costa de l'antic Palus Maeotis, modern Mar d'Azov que agafa el nom de la ciutat.

Antiguitat
Cap al  la regió pertanyia al Regne del Bòsfor Cimmeri i es va establir una colònia grega anomenada Tanais (o Tanaïs, del nom grec del riu Don). L'establiment fou cremat per rei Polemó I poc abans de l'inici de l'era cristiana, però els colons gregues la van reconstruir i va subsistir fins que fou destruïda pels gots al . El lloc que va ocupar Tanais, on hi ha el modern llogaret de Nedvigovka, ha estat excavat des del .

Al  es va establir a la zona el príncep eslau de Tmutarakan. Va passar després als cumans el 1067, que li van donar el nom d Azaq o Azak ("Terres Baixes" o "Terra del Límit") del que deriva el seu nom modern. Al  fou part del kanat de l'Horda d'Or; llavors es van establir a la zona factories genoveses i venecianes amb permís del kan; els genovesos van fundar un establiment a l'antiga Tanais que es va dir Tana, nom que apareix per primer cop en un mapa de 1306. El 1316 els genovesos van fundar una colònia comercial (Tana/Azak) i el nom turc apareix a les monedes a partir del 1317. El 1332 també hi van fundar una colònia els venecians. No obstant pel que se sap la vila va estar poblada majoritàriament per tàrtars amb alguns mercaders italians o d'altres llocs, i que tenia un governador mongol (Muhammad Khwadja esmentat el [1334], Sichi Beg esmentat el 1347 i el 1349, i Tolobey, esmentat vers el 1358) i la moneda emesa era en nom dels kans almenys fins al 1411. La seva decadència fou produïda per la competència que presentava l'establiment genovès de Kaffa i es va iniciar en temps de Djanibek (1342-1358) però sembla que sense intervenció ni culpa d'aquest. El setembre del 1396 fou devastada per Tamerlà.

El 1475 fou ocupada pels otomans i integrada al sandjak de Kaffa, en el que va formar un kada o districte. El 1545 la formaven tres barris: Venedikkalesi o Frenkhisari (amb guarnició otomana i uns 1000 habitants), Djenevizkalesi (més tard Orta Hisar) també amb guarnició i uns cinc-cents habitants; i Toprakkale, poblada per 500 tàrtars i 700 pescadors tàrtars, turcs i grecs.

El 1559 va patir el primer setge en regla de part dels cosacs dirigits per Dimitrash, però no va tenir èxit. El 1637 els cosacs la van ocupar per la van haver d'evacuar el 1642 després d'un llarg setge turc (iniciat el juny de 1641); una vegada els turcs van abandonar el setge els russos van decidir evacuar-la però van destruir les fortificacions abans de marxar. Nous atacs cosacs es van produir en anys següents, principalment el 1656 i el 1659. El 1666 els otomans hi tenien una guarnició de tretze mil homes i van reforçar les fortificacions. Els russos la van atacar sense èxit el 1695 però Pere I el Gran la va conquerir finalment el 6 d'agost de 1696. El tractat del Pruth la retornà a l'Imperi Otomà (1711) però els russos no la van evacuar fins al 1713. Fou conquerida altre cop el 1736 i altre cop retornada a la pau de Belgrad del 1739 amb obligació de destruir la fortalesa. Durant la guerra de 1678 a 1774 el comte Rumyantsev la va ocupar i Rússia la va adquirir definitivament per tractat de Kuchuk-Kainarji del 1774. Fou erigida en capital d'un govern separat però el 1881 la capital del govern es va traslladar a Rostov del Don.

A simple barbecue recipe should be in every cooks repertoire, ready to whip out at the first sign of cookout season. For me that's this jackfruit mushroom barbecue: sticky-spicy-savory-sweet with a pull-apart, meaty texture and juicy bite. It's a crowd pleaser with minimal effort. Which means more time for Summer fun and less time spent over a pot of food. Woo!
I've been feeling super un-enthused about cooking this Summer. I just want to be at the beach sipping pretentiously-overcomplicated margaritas and eating my body-weight in watermelon (don't we all?). But even my lazy bum can get myself in the kitchen to make this oh so delicious bbq, especially if I have some of these grain free hamburger buns around! So, my veg-bbq-curious friends, let's go make some Summer magic in the form of SAMMICHES.
Jackfruit is a lot like tofu in that it absorbs saucy flavors very easily. It's texture is most similar to artichoke hearts, and it has a shredded chicken consistency once cooked. It's not a good source of protein as it is indeed a fruit, and you've probably figured out by now that fruit is not mama natures fav protein delivery system. We're not eating it because it's nutritionally comparable to meat. We're eating it because it tastes freakishly similar to meat, and that makes it a barrel of good clean fun, dagnabit.
I used crimini mushrooms in this recipe. Affordable, easy-to-find criminis give this recipe some extra juicy bite and a pinch more natural umami flavor. You can use any mushroom you like for this recipe. King oyster mushrooms would be incredible!
Everybody has a different opinion on what makes for a great barbecue sauce. Some like it spicy, some like it sweet, some can't live without some sort of sriracha/gochujang iteration. I'll leave the bbq sauce choices up to you, but just make sure it's a good one! This recipe is nothing without a good sauce.
This recipe is very hands off. You essentially throw everything in a pot and cook it down and then... voila! Barbecue magic. Serve on your favorite buns with a side of pickles and sweet potato fries. Heaven!
Notes: This barbecue as great in a sandwich with slaw or pickles but equally excellent for buddha bowls, tacos or stuffed sweet potatoes. I used one 20 oz can of Trader Joes Green Jackfruit in Brine for this recipe (drained weight = 9.9 oz). And I usually use one 12 oz bottle Annie's Original Style Barbecue Sauce, but any BBQ sauce works.
Set a large soup pot on medium high heat.
Add onion and olive oil and cook the onions 5-10 minutes, until beginning to brown and caramelize.
Add mushrooms and stir, cooking for another 5 minutes or so to reduce the mushrooms.
Stir in the jackfruit, barbecue sauce, smoked paprika and cover the pot with a lid and cook 15-20 mins, until thickened and reduced.
Once the barbecue has cooked down, taste it and add salt / pepper according to your personal taste. It may already be salty or spicy depending on the jackfruit and barbecue sauce you use. I usually add ¼ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper.
Serve your barbecue on buns with slaw, avocado, pickles, lettuce or whatever suits your fancy. Enjoy! Leftover barbecue should last at least 4-5 days when kept covered in the fridge.

Roche's U.S. gRED research head to retire, be replaced by MIT's Regev
FILE PHOTO: Logo of Swiss drugmaker Roche is seen at its headquarters in Basel
ZURICH (Reuters) – Roche <ROG.S> said Monday it has hired a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor as the new head of the Swiss drugmaker's U.S. research arm that was responsible for some of the company's best-selling medicines of the last few decades.
Aviv Regev, an Israeli-American born in 1971, replaces the current head of Roche's Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED), Michael Varney. He is retiring after holding the post for five years.
gRED, based near San Francisco, was the force behind medicines including cancer drugs Herceptin and Avastin that have reaped tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue over the last two decades.
Regev is currently chair of the faculty, core institute member, and member of the executive leadership team of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, as well as a biology professor at MIT and investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
A prize-winning cancer researcher elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences last year, Regev is an expert in unraveling the complex molecular circuits that govern cells, tissues and organs in health and how their malfunction can lead to diseases including cancer.
"She brings a rare combination of expertise that will help us unlock even more possibilities in data-based drug discovery and development," Chief Executive Severin Schwan said in a statement.

U.S. condemns deadly Houthi attack on Abu Dhabi, UAE says reserves right to respond


Our mind is constantly busy judging wrong from right, bad from good, weak from strong, safe from dangerous and so on…. We can't help the workings of our brain; it is called the default mode or negative thinking bias. It is part of our survival mechanisms; thousands of years ago, we thrived because we were continually looking out for what could be threatening. It lead to our survival, but today it does not help us to be happy.
