Context WMG / FiveNightsAtCandys2
1 [[WMG: [[spoiler: Five Nights at Candy's 3 will focus on the Rat]]]]²He's a lot like Springtrap, and Springtrap is the star of the third game. And yes, [[spoiler: getting the 4th star in FNAC 2 reveals there WILL be a ''3'']].²** I am going to assume this is confirmed. There's tons of focus with him in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VZfSwEAFY the official trailer]]²²[[WMG: The animatronics in 2 aren't the same as the ones from the first game.]]²As [[http://i.imgur.com/32krcfE.jpg this image]] points out, there are a lot of differences between the ones in the first game and the second. In the first game, the legs were directly attached to the body, while the second game gives them another segment in the lower hips. Plus, the joints are smaller, Cindy's bow is different, the eyebrow positions are different, and Candy's body is more of a square than an oval.²** While it ''is'' true that they look different, this only applies to Candy and Cindy, and with good reason. They were rebuilt and redesigned, as stated in the trailer. Plus, in the Extras menu, they are referred to as "'''New''' Candy and Cindy." They're the same robots, they've just been redesigned between games.²²[[WMG: In the [[spoiler:upcoming third game...]]]]²[[spoiler:Another character will get the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute treatment, as Old Candy suffered this and was replaced with CAT.]]²²[[WMG: [[spoiler: Marilyn Schmidt will return in Five Nights at Candy's 3]]]]²[[spoiler: I am sure she isn't done yet "losing bets".]]²** Jossed: One of the teasers implies the game takes place in 1962, many years before [[spoiler: Marilyn Schmidt]] was born.²*** [[spoiler:Jossing confirmed: you play as a young Mary Schmidt in [=FNaC3=].]]²²[[WMG: In the third game, you'll play as Marilyn Schmidt's child!]]²Plot twist..? It could even take a Five Nights at Freddy's 3 turn and be far into the future.²** Possibly {{Jossed}}. The first teaser for the game says "No Story Can End Without a '''Beginning'''", and since it's going to be an {{Expy}} of VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4, it will probably be a prequel.²** I believe I (the OP of this WMG) posted it before Emil posted the teaser and/or saw the page. Either way, it maybe {{Jossed}} and I accept that!²²[[WMG: The story so far.]]²At some point in the distant past a place had a CAT and RAT animatronic, old wire based animatronics probably, based on pulling wires to make them move not complex machinery or on board computers. Something, we don't know what, happened and the place closed down getting them both decommissioned.²²At some point in the future someone took the idea and built on it into a mascot, Candy, before opening a restaurant based on them. It was meant to snag business from the Fazbear entertainment group that owned the popular Freddy Fazbear's franchise by appealing to the same demographic but offering different services. Things were good for a while. They briefly brought back RAT to work along side Candy but he was old, in disrepair, and kind off-putting for the kids so the idea of reviving him entire was shelved and the animatronic was left in the back room locked up but the restaurant didn't have any major incidents.²²Eventually though business started to slow down, it was still making money but not as much as before, but management saw an opportunity as their primary rival was shutting down soon. With that in mind they commissioned a whole new set of animatronics expanding the cast significantly while splitting Candy into a pair of twins, Candy and Cindy, to try and appeal more to both genders. However something happened at the factory, some sort of incident where people got killed involving the assembly line, among them a pair of young twins.²²Not long after the new machines were delivered along with a stripped down version of Old Candy, who'd been sent back along with the RAT to see if there was anything worth taking out of them to get a discount on the new hardware. Old Candy had been stripped of a significant amount of parts but RAT was too old to have anything worth any cash and too beat up to become a museum piece. At some point just after delivery a night guard went missing but was never found and no evidence of a body ever discovered.²²From there Candy and Cindy gained popularity, Blank was a hit, and the Penguin was a necessity to deliver food. Chester the chimpanzee however was not getting as much attention as the others. The animatronics were very expensive and being seen as a liability Chester was disassembled and sent back to the factory while the others remained in operation. He was partially stripped of parts like his cameras before being put into storage for later reuse. ²²The restaurant kept going for a while and eventually Candy and Cindy made enough money to justify some modifications to the original design meant to smooth out bugs in the operating system. This had the misfortune of happening just before another fatality occurred. A second night guard was killed, most likely by the RAT despite the fact that the RAT shouldn't be able to move at all. Candy discovered the body and an automatic alert was sent to the police, a hold over from technology that had been used by Fazbear Entertainment but with the company gone was now a standard feature, but because it had left the room where the body was in search of the culprit rather then stay put like it was supposed to and the AI had known issues the updated Candy and Cindy along with Rat and the Penguin were sent back to the factory to be disassembled while the company dealt with the media fallout. The decision was made to wait for a time before opening again and to get new animatronics based on the same designs, during which FNAC 2 occurs.²²[[WMG: RAT and CAT are wire-controlled animatronics, and are possessed by the twins.]]²The newspaper shown on Night 5 states that a pair of twins went missing in the robot factory prior to its shutting down, and that the factory started out making wire-controlled animatronics in 1962. The very next night after this newspaper is shown, RAT and CAT are introduced. RAT is shown in one of the cutscenes in the original game to have already existed in (and was already damaged by) 1964. CAT looks just as old as RAT, is made out of the same materials, and is in the same state of deterioration as RAT, implying they were built at the same time, just like twins.²** Actually, the twins died in 1987, and are probably possessing Candy and Cindy. If anything, RAT and CAT are possessed by murderers.²²[[WMG: Taking the above comment, it is true that The Rat and The Cat are possessed by murderers.]]²* Our friend The Rat actually did murder the child, which got Candy's closed down originally or at the very least a big police investigation. ²²[[WMG: If Five Nights at Candy's 3 is going to be like FNAF 4...]]²Another child will be having nightmares featuring Candy, Cindy, The Rat, The Cat, and maybe Penguin along with Blank. I am sure Emil will take their own twist on the FNAF 4 concept, however, though.²* Alternatively, the third game could take a [=FNaF=] 3+4 approach, having RAT as the only animatronic, possibly with CAT appearing in secret nights.²²[[WMG: [[spoiler: [[RememberTheNewGuy CAT was present during the first game.]]]]]]²He was in the same room as [[spoiler:RAT]]. Why he didn't go after Mary is anyone's guess, but it was probably the same reason [[spoiler:RAT]] took so long to show up.²²[[WMG: The third game is about a child having nightmares about RAT, CAT, and the other animatronic characters.]]²It will be during the early period of the establishment when RAT and CAT were active.²** The newest teaser seems to confirm this, as it has the number "1962" hidden in it.²²[[WMG: Minigames will explain about RAT and how he has human eyes.]]²In the first game, when RAT jumpscares you, he has human eyes. (which is actually one of the reasons people thought he he was a spring lock suit.). Emil has said on the Candy's subreddit that the 'human eyes' will have a meaning, it'll all make sense soon, etc.²²[[WMG:Repairment protocols]]²The RAT and the CAT were programmed to update themselves; with better programming, and with better parts. Sometimes they cannibalize other animatronics, as to the reason Chester got dismantled. Now, we all know the compatibility of human body parts to the machinery. That explains RAT's eyes in FNAC1 (the previous night guard's), why the RAT killed the guard and possibly the child (Spare parts), and why Marylin Schmidt is described to be the like a victim of a bear attack (CAT and RAT both in disrepair); sometimes people have the better parts...²²[[WMG: RAT and CAT were made with Human Transmutation from Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist via Soul Binding]]²RAT and CAT were a team of likely serial killers, so what better way than to get someone who knows how to do this?

Clijsters regains top spot
(China Daily)
Kim Clijsters of Belgium returns a shot to Jelena Dokic of Australia during their match at Paris Open tennis tournament, February 11, 2011. [Photo/Agencies]
Belgian supermum becomes world No 1 in Paris ?the fourth time in her career
PARIS - Kim Clijsters became the first mother to be crowned world No 1 on Friday when she battled back from 3-0 down to defeat Australia's Jelena Dokic 6-3, 6-0 in the Paris Open quarterfinals.
The 27-year-old reigning US and Australian Open champion reached the top spot for the fourth time in her career.
The Belgian first hit the heights in 2003, when she was No 1 for 12 weeks over two separate spells, and then again in 2006, spending seven weeks at the head of the rankings.
Clijsters, who was also the US Open champion in 2005 and 2009, will officially knock Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, who has yet to win a Grand Slam title, from the number one slot when the new WTA rankings are released on Monday.
"It's incredible to have been successful so quickly after my comeback," said Clijsters, who had retired in 2007 to start a family before returning to the tour in 2009 after giving birth to daughter, Jada.
"I have been playing really well for some months now. I am happy to regain the No 1 here in Paris as I feel like it's close to home in Belgium - the last time, it was in Los Angeles.
"I'm proud that I have achieved this in my second career and as a mother. I hope that I can now go on and win the tournament."
Clijsters' return to the top will bring a little respect back to the position which has lost some of its luster in recent years.
The retirements of Grand Slam winners Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin have damaged the top ranking's credibility while Serena and Venus Williams are playing less and less.
Clijsters has enjoyed a memorable past six months, winning all three of the most recent big tournaments, the US Open, Masters and Australian Open.
She also led Belgium to victory over the United States in the opening round of the Fed Cup World Group last weekend before arriving in Paris where she was champion on her only previous visit in 2004.
On Friday, she lost the opening three games against qualifier Dokic before reeling off the next 12.
Clijsters will face Estonia's Kaia Kanepi, who defeated Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-2, 2-6, 6-2, in Saturday's semifinals.
The other last-four clash will see Czech fourth seed Petra Kvitova taking on Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the US.
It's been 256 weeks since her last stay at the top of the rankings.
Her first 10 weeks at No 1 came between Aug 11 and Oct 19, 2003 with her next two weeks coming between Oct 27 and Nov 9 in the same year.
On both occasions she was displaced by Henin.
In 2006, Clijsters spent seven more weeks at No 1 between Jan 30 and March 19, before being replaced by Mauresmo, who is now the co-tournament director in Paris.
Mauresmo presented Clijsters with a giant bouquet to mark her latest achievement on Friday.
"It's difficult to compare with 2006. I remember I was proud and emotional," said Clijsters.
"But the circumstances are not the same. Then I had just won the tournament while here we are still in the middle of a tournament. It was a little strange getting flowers and a trophy.
"I am older now and more experienced. I can savor these things in a different way. This is what pleases me more in my "second career".

In 1961, Arman moved to New York, where he took up residence in the infamous Chelsea Hotel. Arman felt that in coming to New York, he was "in the center of [his] dreams, vitrines of vitrines, a profusion of windowed crystals on the rock of Manhattan." He became friends with fellow Pop Artist Andy Warhol, who began to collect Arman's work and in 1964, Arman was featured in Warhol's film Dinner at Daley's. Arman was granted American citizenship in 1972. In 1982, he constructed his formative sculpture Long Term Parking, which consisted of an obelisk-like pile of cars encased in concrete. In 1991, the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York honored Arman with the first U.S. retrospective of his works. Arman died in 2005, but he left behind a legacy of art that played with the conventions of consumer commodities. His works are housed in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate Museum in London, among many others.

Bulgaria Education Facts
The children in Bulgaria must attend two years of preschool or participate in school preparatory groups before they can start the eight-year primary school. The compulsory schooling rules apply between the ages of 7 and 16.
Compulsory preschool activities are free of charge, in addition to a fee for food. Most children attend public elementary schools, which are also free of charge. There are also private schools where a fee is charged.
COUNTRYAAH: Country facts of Bulgaria, including geography profile, population statistics, and business data.
Some schools teach two shifts; some children go in the morning and others in the afternoon.
Almost all children attend elementary school, which is divided into two stages. However, the proportion of people who drop out has increased over a few years, to just over 13 percent in 2015, according to a report from the European Commission. The regional differences are large, in the northwestern part of the country almost every fourth child leaves school early. Among those who do not complete it, Roma children are strongly over-represented.
The school previously suffered a great lack of materials and qualified teachers, but in recent years the situation has improved in most places. However, Bulgaria spends less on education in relative terms than most EU countries.
Most young people also attend the four-year high school, which has both vocational and college preparatory courses.
There are about 50 universities and colleges, most of them state. The oldest is the University of Sofia, founded in 1888.
Searchforpublicschools: Offers schooling information of Bulgaria in each level – compulsory, technical and higher education programs.
Prosecution against two ministers
Two of the outgoing government ministers are charged with abuse of power. Defense Minister Nikolaj Nentjev is accused of putting the country's security at risk by terminating an agreement with Russia on the maintenance of the country's Soviet-built fighter aircraft and instead giving the assignment to Poland, which according to the Russian manufacturer did not have a license for the work. Outgoing Minister of Health Petar Moskov is charged with permitting imports from Turkey of unauthorized vaccines in the EU.
The government resigns after the presidential election
The government submits its resignation application. Parliament approves it two days later, although the government must remain in place until the Framework takes office in January. Prime Minister Borisov has said in advance that he cannot cooperate with a president who wants to strengthen relations with Russia.
Contested left candidate wins presidential election
The second round of the presidential election stands between Socialist Party candidate Rumen Radev (who got 25 percent in the first round), against Parliament's President Tsetska Tsatjeva (22 percent), who is the government's candidate. Radev resigned as Air Force Chief in August, just before he was named BSP candidate. He is considered to be close to Moscow and has openly advocated that the EU suspend sanctions against Russia imposed after the Russian annexation of Crimea. In the second round, Radev wins with just over 59 percent of the vote. The incoming president, who is brand new in politics, says that Bulgaria's membership of NATO stands firm, "but to be for Europe does not mean to be against Russia".
Georgieva becomes head of the World Bank
Kristalina Georgieva resigns as EU budget commissioner to become head of the World Bank.
The time limit for communist crimes remains
The Constitutional Court annuls a law passed by Parliament in September 2015 to abolish the limitation period for serious political crimes committed by senior officials during the communist era. The law came about because of widespread dissatisfaction with the fact that a number of investigations of, among other things, political murders were closed down. Parliament considered that it was contrary to the general legal consciousness that not a single representative of the Communist regime had been held accountable for crimes on the grounds that it was too long. That decision was appealed by the Prosecutor General, and now the Constitutional Court finds that the governments that have been in power since 1989 had plenty of time to settle the past. In addition, according to the court, it is unclear who would be included in the circle of "senior executives", which could lead to arbitrary claims.crimes against humanity ".
UN failure causes political strife
The tone of the domestic policy debate is hardening since none of Bulgaria's two candidates for the mission of the UN Secretary-General succeeded. First, UNESCO chief candidate Irina Bokova, who has a past within the previous communist regime and is supported by the Socialist Party. When it became clear that she could not be elected, the right-wing Gerb government withdrew its support for her and nominated EU Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva. In the closing vote, both were without a chance. In an upset parliamentary session, the socialists criticize Prime Minister Borisov for failing Bokova, while accusing her of having sabotaged Georgia's chances by not withdrawing from the elections. The debate becomes so fierce that the President cancels the session.
New border protection in place
The EU's new border security authority, the European Border and Coast Guard, will be inaugurated in a ceremony at the Kapitan Andrejevo border station, at the Bulgarian border with Turkey. The new authority succeeds Frontex, which has been criticized for its ineffective management of the refugee crisis in the EU. Border and Coast Guard has higher budgets, greater staff and increased powers to intervene at the EU's external border in the various Member States. It will also be the new authority that will be responsible for bringing back migrants without asylum reasons.
Face veil is prohibited
Parliament adopts a law that prohibits wearing a full veil in public; Anyone who hides their face risks a fine of the equivalent of more than SEK 7,000 and any social security contributions are withdrawn. Exceptions are made if the face must be covered for health or professional reasons. About a tenth of Bulgaria's population is Muslims, mostly of Turkish origin, but almost none use a comprehensive burka or niqab. The only ones who do that are a small group of Roma who have been starting to hide their faces lately.
New anti-terrorist law adopted
Parliament, by a large majority, adopts a law on tougher efforts to fight terrorism. The law gives the police, army and security services far-reaching powers to intervene against persons suspected of "terrorist activities". The military can, among other things, get police rights to arrest people. There will also be increased opportunity for the authorities to seize persons' mobile phones and other property. Among other things, the Helsinki Committee criticizes the law for restricting the fundamental freedoms of citizens who have not in any way been involved in any terrorist activity.
Bulgaria is forced to pay damages
The International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Court in Paris orders the Bulgarian state to pay EUR 550 million in damages to the Russian nuclear power company Atomstrojexport for 2012 having demolished a contract to build a nuclear facility in Belene on the Danube (see Natural Resources and Energy). The money only applies to the equipment used for the construction. The Russian company had claimed more than a billion dollars in damages.
The government loses the majority
The government loses its majority in parliament after the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Ivailo Kalfin and his party ABV announced that it will stop supporting the government. Thus, the government has only guaranteed the support of 114 of Parliament's 240 members.
Female socialist leader
The Socialist Party elects Kornelija Ninova as new chairman. She is not only the party's first female leader but also the first challenger to succeed in defeating a sitting president at a party congress.
Voting compulsory
Parliament adopts a law on mandatory participation in general elections. Those who do not exercise the right to vote are removed from the voting lists and must apply to participate in upcoming elections. However, there are no fines or other economically sensible penalties for voice interpreters.
The army must stop refugees
Approves that the army be deployed to guard the country's borders in order to curb a feared influx of refugees; So far, the army has only been able to provide border police technical and logistical support, but from now on soldiers can participate in patrol operations along the borders.
NATO takes over the airspace
Parliament votes on a contentious law that gives NATO responsibility for protecting the country's airspace. Bulgaria does not have enough useful combat plans to live up to its commitments under NATO rules. The opposition criticizes the new law for violating the country's sovereignty.

Miami Beach, Florida Film And Entertainment - A Whole Review.
By VictorSky 91 days ago
For the many desirable factors browsing Miami Beach, Florida, are, for sure, the defense now called the must-attend Spring Break, or maybe the roller-blading beach beauties, or maybe the right climate. But more interesting reasons, transcending the tourists penchant for balmy bay winds and such, is inside the reputation a location like Miami Beach, Florida has for offering series and popular TV programs and hosting films which have a Beach, Florida environment. Get further about anaheimaddiction.com/2018/10/30/prescription-drugs-problems by navigating to our astonishing wiki.
Remember the initial long-standing show of the past - the Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas unique Miami Vice edition, which featured the Miami Beach, Florida views, ocean- and landscapes, and also southern styles of the seventies and eightiesthe available necked shirt and sports coat and shoes without socks look that spread throughout the region as quick as Disco gold chains and bamboo did. Yet in the same style, three decades later, the even more influential Miami Beach, Florida display is CSI: MIAMI. My girlfriend found out about https://detoxtreatment.co/teen-addiction.html by searching webpages. The hang-dog heroic, the neo-Clint Eastwood with an mind of David Carusos personality leads the group in to the Miami Beach, Florida luxurious houses, onto the speedboats and ships, and through the hippest of clubs of the popular party city. The details are captivating; the scenes are mesmeric.
Hence perhaps the crime statistics implied by these shows are also off-putting so that you can think of actually taking trip at Miami Beach, Florida..then sure the way to go is by old films and newer non-detective/mystery/crime story subjects. That is, perhaps it's possible to understand the area offerings, the universities, the libraries, the networking possibilities, the real-estate, by watching Police Academy or Bad Santa or Wild Things. Identify further on https://femmeaddiction.com by visiting our ideal use with. Probably you can obtain a sense of the appearance, the cultural climate, and the politics of Miami Beach, Florida in a film such as the new Miami Vice or the older, more non-fictionalized A Sculpture of Love and Anguish: The Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial. Or, maybe one can be pleased about the upright beaches and wind in the hands atmosphere in movies like Always Something Better; Black Sunday; or The Godfather or The Crew.
Sure, it may be an unusual, unusual approach to take about searching for real-estate in Miami Beach Florida or choosing the best vacation resort or venue. On the other hand, it might be a more realistic effect to closely watch a show than to see a pamphlet o-r twoand besides, how do you think 3-D marketing got its head start!.

Uni is a good place to ask for help. If you explain that you are in Silan it's less likely that you are linked to bm. Even if you do get, the conversation doesn't have to end there. If you explain that bm doesn't have the details you are looking for you'll probably get more help in uni. If you disappear after the bm tip, the people in uni will think you got all the info you wanted. There are some times that there are not many people in uni, but usually players get answers to anything they wish to know. It can however be hard to provide good tips when you don't know either the mission or the issue with it. But hopefully Talkirc's major project will help.


Look, these are NOT racing gloves, they aren't winter gloves yet I suspect they will provide significant protection as a daily rider even in case of a slide, likely better than most leather daily riders. Go to a RedWing store and see for yourself. If your an R1 wannabe racer don't bother but this is after all an FJ-09 forum.
One of the features of motorcycle specific gloves is some form of wrist closure to secure the glove on your hand. If the glove slides off your hand too easily it might come off in a crash - and we are back to the unprotected hand situation. All of the work gloves I've seen (Hopot, Lowe's, etc.) slide off too easily!
These have again much better wrist closure than 9/10 of the MC gloves with 4" velcro straps. The fit is also much better for my xl hands with many incremental sizes. I understand the sceptics, I've ridden the same glove for almost 10k miles and still look great, fit and work well. These deserve a look.
Hate to be the wet blanket, but if you slide down the road wearing these gloves, they'll shred like you're wearing no gloves at all. Would you touch a spinning disc grinder or belt sander wearing these?
I disagree. Obviously I didn't slide in these but these gloves appear designed for workers slinging tools all day and appear of much better construction than 95% of the MC gloves I've purchased in 40 years. The fingertips on these gloves are double stitched durable synthetic that works very well with your smartphone. I doubt there are any daily mc gloves that will perform better in a slide.
No-one here can say they wouldn't perform better or worse than a motorcycle glove, but I don't think I would want to be the initial test subject . You are of course free to keep using them, many wear far less protection than RedWing gloves. And they are certainly better than no gloves at all.
These look like a nice successor to my old Revit Curb gloves. How do they run? I'm a medium in Revits.
Have worn Held gloves for many years and found them to be some of the best gloves on the market...…..until I tried on a pair of these Racer gloves and was blown away by the quality, fit and comfort.
Lee Parks DeerTours (available in short or gauntlet) with out seams (no seams on inside of glove) are awesome 3 season gloves in Texas.
Held Steves most of the time.
They are a synthetic glove that is double stitched throughout, some type of rubber bonded to the back and fingers of the glove. Absolute love the palm padding, something severely lacking in most mc gloves. It seems they are designed for workers slinging tools all day outdoors. Than of course the 40 bucks is an all time bargain.
They are nice but I got 2 pair of these in my size (usually 2XL ~3XL depending on fit) in black (see the Ade 3's) for $100 Total shipped.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Racer Gloves. I've had several $200+ track gloves over my life but when I put these on they without a doubt, blew every other glove away!
I'm not usually an outspoken advocate for gear but if you haven't seen/worn their gloves you should do yourself a favor and get some. My first pair were their older High Speed model which survived 3 high speed (no pun intended) get offs on the road track and countless lower speed get offs on the supermoto track before I retired them. I've since replaced them with the new model glove and also have the Mickey model which is a short gauntlet glove.
Dont pass these up if you're in the market for gloves.
To be fair I don't think many motorcycle gloves go through much testing either. I've had a motorcycle-specific glove (can't remember the brand) come off in a fall when the gloves got pinched between the handlebar end and the ground. Fortunately my hand didn't get crushed by the bar and it was a low-speed get off, but I was shocked how quickly the glove slipped off my hand.
OTOH, the worst crash I ever had was an 80mph low side while wearing leather work gloves. The gloves held up fine.
Red Wing makes top quality work gear. My guess is these gloves are as good as many gloves at the moto shop, maybe even better than some. They're certainly better than the gloves I see 50% of riders around here wearing in summer (i.e. none).
After being in two crashes, I have no problem spending money on premium gloves. I ride with Held gloves. Held makes high quality gloves with strong materials such as kangaroo leather and Kevlar.
I've never been in a crash at speed, but I can learn from those who have. There's some things in life that you don't have to learn the hard way...like buying good gloves.

Guy Lockwood: the comrade from Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo Valley Museum
Artist, teacher, writer, politician.
Kalamazoo's Guy Lockwood was all these.
Lockwood's early 20th century Socialist Party views were the focus of his political cartoons. His confrontational work challenged the American status quo in his regular pamphlet entitled "The Billy Goat".
Guy Lockwood was soon butting heads in the political arena. He became one of the first Michigan Socialists voted to office. Guy served as a Kalamazoo alderman after his 1912 election.
Kalamazoo historian William Braaaksma published the article Guy Lockwood: A Socialist in Southwest Michigan in a recent Michigan History Magazine issue.
Braaksma spoke with WKAR's Peter Whorf about how, in the course of his research, he was attracted to Lockwood's "Billy Goat" publication.

There are a lot of misconception about Hawaii reverse mortgages. To most seniors, they "sound too good to be true The reality is a Hawaii reverse mortgage can be a great way to pay for the retirement you always hoped for. Reverse mortgages are regulated and insured by FHA.
At a certain point in life you should not have to work or worry about how to make ends meet. You should be enjoying life in paradise. A reverse mortgage can help you to do that. They are not complicated and can generate a lump sum of cash, a monthly payment, a line of credit or a combination of these.
One of the biggest concern when someone is considering a reverse mortgage is whether they will be able to keep their home or not. The answer is a solid and firm YES. You retain title and can still pass it on to your heirs. You do not have to move! You do not give up the comfort and safety of your home!
If you are 62 or over, own the home you wish to stay in and have adequate equity, you probably will qualify for a reverse mortgage. Qualified seniors can take full advantage of the opportunity to live the life they have always dreamed of without the worry of a mortgage payment.

Q: What is the correct way to view your CPU speed on Linux? I found two commands to output information about my CPU: cat /proc/cpuinfo and lscpu. /proc/cpuinfo shows that my CPU speed is 2.1 Ghz, whereas lspcu says it is 3167 Mhz. Which one is correct?
This is my exact output from cat /proc/cpuinfo about my processor speed:
model name  : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz

And this is from lscpu:
CPU MHz:               3225.234

(For some reason, lscpu outputs differently every time, varying between 3100 and 3300 MHz)

A: CPU frequencies are kept in the kernel but they can be a little "off". You can see them using:
$ cd /sys/devices/system/cpu
$ paste <(cat cpu*/cpufreq/affected_cpus) <(cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq) | column -s $'\t' -t
0  833914
1  800021
2  800086
3  800029
4  800036
5  800460
6  800118
7  800141

If you don't need to know the CPU #'s a shorter method is simply using:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
1396354
800058
800050
800024
800005
800017
800001
1392006

A: To get informations about your CPU type the following command:
dmidecode -t processor | grep -i mhz

A: $ sudo apt-get install -y linux-tools-$(uname -r)
$ sudo watch cpupower monitor

Output:
Every 2.0s: cpupower monitor

htop version 3 displays the CPU frequency next to its usage.

A: For intel i3, i5 and i7 based cpus there is a dedicated tool called i7z that shows current speed for all cpu cores.
From man page (description):

i7z runs the i7z, ncurses based, program without any options. i7z will
  print out the C-states and temperature for i3, i5 and i7 based Core
  processors from Intel (including Nehalems, Sandy Bridge and Ivy
  Bridge).

For ubuntu-based distributions you can install it by issuing this command:
sudo apt-get install i7z

then just run it (tool needs to be run with sudo):
sudo i7z

A: The Intel Core i7-4600U Processor supports Turbo Boost technology. It has a base frequency of 2.10GHz and a Max Turbo Frequency of 3.30GHz. That means that,

*

*If you disable the Turbo Boost (in the BIOS setup menu), the CPU will work at 2.10GHz all the time.

*When Turbo Boost is enabled and only one of the cores is working, the CPU will work at a maximum of 3.30GHz.

*If Turbo Boost is enabled and all the cores are working, the CPU will work at 2.10GHz.

Obtaining current frequency
To determine if the Turbo Boost is activated and which is the current frequency, you can use cpupower frequency-info. For instance, for an old Intel Core i5-660 with Turbo Boost enabled, you will get the following.
$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
  hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 3.47 GHz
  available frequency steps: 3.47 GHz, 3.33 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.20 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 3.47 GHz.
              The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
              within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.87 GHz.
  cpufreq stats: 3.47 GHz:82,67%, 3.33 GHz:0,00%, 2.53 GHz:0,00%, 1.87 GHz:0,06%, 1.20 GHz:17,28%  (3)
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes
    25500 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 1 active cores

Note that the information states the hardware limits (1.20 GHz - 3.47 GHz), the possible frequencies (3.47 GHz, 3.33 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.20 GHz) and the current frequency (1.87 GHz). You may find the technical information of these frequencies at the Intel website.
Frequency when TurboBoost is disabled
Note the difference when you run the same command with Turbo Boost disabled: In the boost state support section, the values for Supported and Active are no. Here, the CPU will be at the nominal/minimal value (1.20Ghz) all the time.
$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
  hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 3.47 GHz
  available frequency steps: 3.47 GHz, 3.33 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.20 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 3.47 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz.
  cpufreq stats: 3.47 GHz:40,86%, 3.33 GHz:0,01%, 2.53 GHz:0,06%, 1.87 GHz:0,22%, 1.20 GHz:58,85%  (493)
  boost state support:
    Supported: no
    Active: no
    25500 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
    25500 MHz max turbo 1 active cores

You can disable the Turbo Boost using the BIOS or some Linux options/commands. The kernel support can be enabled/disabled using the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost file.

A: To see the current speed of each core I do this:
watch -n.1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo"

Notes:
This does not work on server CPUs such as the Intel Xeon series. On such machines it will show the base frequency only. To show the turbo frequency, you'll need cpupower or turbostat. See @Maxim Egorushkin's answer.
If your watch command does not work with intervals smaller than one second, modify the interval like so:
watch -n1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo"

This displays the cpu speed of each core in real time.
By running the following command, one or more times, from another terminal one can see the speed change with the above watch command, assuming SpeedStep is enabled (Cool'n'Quiet for AMD).
echo "scale=10000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l &

(This command uses bc to calculate pi to 10000 places.)

Vonzipper Optical exhibited for the first time at the Opti...
Vonzipper Optical exhibited for the first time at the Opti trade show. The American company, owned by Billabong International and specializing in sunglasses, goggles, softgoods and accessories, launched its first collection of optical frames about one and a half years ago. Today, the company works with about 80 optical stores in France and plans to enhance its sales in the German and Spanish markets. The company restructured its sales force and set up a special sales team for its new optical line in France. The campaign "Charity for clarity" was introduced six months after the launch of the company's new product line. Vonzipper promises that for every optical frame sold, one will be donated to charity organizations. The first 5,000 optical frames have already been donated to people living in the Philippines.

Republicans drawing maps behind closed doors ahead of redistricting session
By Ryland Barton
Republican legislators are privately drawing new political maps for Kentucky with hopes of quickly passing them into law early next year.
The once-a-decade redistricting process is especially tumultuous this time around because data from the 2020 Census came out late due to the pandemic, and Kentucky lawmakers recently moved the deadline for candidates to file to run for office up to the first week of January.
That combination of factors means candidates — including incumbent lawmakers seeking reelection — won't know what their districts look like unless the new maps are passed into law within the first four days of next year's legislative session. The session starts on Jan. 4 and the filing deadline is Jan. 7.
But leaders of the Republican-led legislature say they will likely pass a bill delaying the filing deadline as soon as the session starts — giving candidates more time to see what their districts will look like.
In the meantime, Republicans have already started drafting the maps behind closed doors.
Republican House Speaker David Osborne wouldn't say how much the filing deadline would move, but said he wants to make sure candidates have enough time to know what district they're in.
"The map will be ready when the map's ready," Osborne said. "It's a mathematical formula that takes a lot of thought and takes a lot of hard work and effort. To rush it would be inappropriate."
The redistricting process takes place every ten years to account forshifts in population that show up in the decennial Census. Legislators have to make sure Kentucky's population of 4.5 million people is evenly split among the 100 state House districts, 38 state Senate districts and 6 congressional districts.
With huge majorities in the state House and Senate, Republicans will be entirely in control of Kentucky's redistricting process for thefirst time in state history.
But the process will likely be a challenge for the party's leaders in the legislature. The maps will have to account forpopulation loss in rural eastern and western Kentucky over the last ten years, possibly by consolidating the number of districts in those heavily-Republican regions.
Osborne wouldn't say if the new maps will force incumbents to run against each other, but knowing the exact shape of districts will be critical for legislators seeking reelection.
The entire House, half the Senate and all congressional seats will be up for grabs in elections next year.
Republican Senate President Robert Stivers renewed his call for Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear to call a special legislative session for lawmakers to tackle redistricting ahead of the new year.
"We need to get it done. We need to be called in before the session starts," Stivers said. "We need to be focused on the budget, number one policy document, not being somewhat distracted by redistricting and all the things that go with it."
Lawmakers will have to write a new two-year budget during the upcoming session. Beshear has not signaled he will call a special session to deal with redistricting ahead of time. His office did not respond to a request for comment.
Democratic House Minority Leader Joni Jenkins said she hasn't seen any of the draft maps yet and she's concerned there won't be enough time for public input.
"It doesn't give them time to find the best candidate to represent them to put forth as their party's nominee," Jenkins said. "I think it's important we don't rush this. It's a big part of Democracy — who we elect to represent us in the statehouse and in local government."
Republicans currently control 75 out of 100 seats in the state House, 30 out of 38 seats in the state Senate and 5 out of 6 congressional seats.
The League of Women Voters has called for the legislature to be more transparent about redistricting and has pushed for lawmakers tocreate an independent commission to advise on the process, but the effort hasn't gained traction.
Kentucky's last round of redistricting took several years to complete.Initial maps were struck down by the state Supreme Court in 2012 for having too many population disparities between districts and dividing too many counties.
Correction: A previous version of this story inaccurately stated that Gov. Andy Beshear's office did not respond to a request for comment.

The chemopreventive efficacy of cranberry juice concentrate in an experimental model of urinary bladder cancer was evaluated using female Fischer-344 rats. The animals received N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine (OH-BBN) for a period of eight weeks. Cranberry juice concentrate was administered at doses of 1.0 or 0.5 ml/rat/day beginning one week after the final OH-BBN treatment and continuing until the end of the study. The urinary bladders of all the rats were weighed and examined grossly for lesions, and all masses were submitted for pathological evaluation. A dose-dependent preventive effect of cranberry treatment was observed, with a reduced number of urinary bladder cancers (38%) in the 1.0 ml/rat/day group versus the control group. The cranberry extract neither affected body weight gain nor caused other signs of toxicity. For the metabolic studies, serum and urine were collected at 4 and 12 h after the administration of the cranberry juice concentrate and were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Quercetin and its methylated derivative were detected in the urine samples. However, no quercetin was detected in the serum samples, indicating its poor bioavailability. These data suggest that components of cranberries may be effective in preventing urinary bladder carcinogenesis.
Extracted ion chromatograms for m/z 289 (A) and m/z 575 (B), obtained from cranberry juice concentrate by LC-ESI-MS in negative ion mode. The chromatogram (C) was obtained with a neutral loss of 162 from the extract in LC-MS/MS.
The body weights of female Fischer-344 rats receiving various concentrations of cranberry concentrate during the six-week dose selection study are shown. Dilutions of the concentrate were made by adding water. The various groups were: ●, controls (water only); ○, cranberry (no dilution); □, cranberry (1:1 dilution); △, cranberry (1:2 dilution) and ◇, cranberry (1:4 dilution).
A representative MRM profile of a urine sample collected 4 h after the cranberry treatment. The numbers on the top right corner of each chromatogram represent the full-scale value of the ion abundance.

Does Florida Allow Third-Party Liability for Clergy Sexual Misconduct With Adult Parishioner?
July 5, 2022 | by David J. Halberg, Esq.
Although many Florida sex abuse lawsuits against churches involve molestation, assault, or abuse of minors, there may be a cause of action in the event of sexual misconduct involving clergy and an adult congregant as well.
Such cases may be brought because the courts have held that the First Amendment (which protects freedom of religion) does not protect churches from liability for harm to a third party that arises from alleged sexual misconduct by clergy members. The state recognizes that religious institutions and clergy may owe a fiduciary duty to attendees. That includes a duty to adult parishioners as well as minors. A fiduciary duty can arise from personal, moral, or social relations, and liability is not solely dependent on an agreement or contractual relationship. For example, the Florida Supreme Court has held that churches that promote their clergy as qualified marriage counselors owe a fiduciary duty to "counselees" – even if most parishioners don't actually receive direct counseling from the clergy.
Churches can be liable for sexual misconduct involving clergy and adult parishioners when this fiduciary duty is violated.
The Florida Supreme Court majority opinion wrote in the 2002 case of Malicki, et al v. Doe, "The First Amendment cannot be used at the initial pleading stage to shut the courthouse door to a plaintiff's claims, which are founded on a religious institution's alleged negligence arising from the institution's failure to prevent harm resulting from one of its clergy who sexually assaults and batters a minor or adult parishioner." A ruling to the contrary, the justices reasoned, would immunize church defendants in such a way that it would place religious institutions in a preferred position over secular institutions – something that would be "both foreign and hostile" to the 1st Amendment.

Hyatt Hotel Faces Florida Sexual Assault Lawsuit After Bahamas Resort Attack
The Hyatt Hotel corporation is facing a federal lawsuit in Florida for the alleged sexual assault of a minor at one of its resorts in the Bahamas.
As our West Palm Beach sexual assault attorneys can explain, thousands of people are attacked at hotels, motels, casinos, and resorts in the U.S. every year. Survivors of sexual violence have the right to pursue justice in criminal courts, but they can also file claims for monetary damages in civil court. Civil claims aren't always (or even mostly) filed against the attacker. More often than not, Florida civil sexual assault claims target businesses or organizations that failed in their duty to protect the victim.
This case against the Hyatt isn't even all that unique. Our legal team is aware of a similar civil claim filed against the same hotel chain in an Illinois federal court following a sexual assault in Turkey. The hotel tried to get that claim tossed, arguing Illinois was an inconvenient forum to resolve the matter. However, the trial and appellate courts declined requests to remove the claim for jurisdictional reasons, and the matter proceeded.
In the more recent matter, V.H. v. Hyatt Hotels Corporation, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, the plaintiff is the father of a minor who was staying at the hotel as a guest with her family. According to court records, the victim briefly left her hotel room in the early morning hours to call a friend. She left barefoot, fully anticipating returning to her room within a few minutes. However, she was approached by a 58-year-old Bahamian local, who struck up a conversation and then lured her to a closed poolside cabana. There, according to the complaint, he overpowered and raped her.
By this time, her father had already gone looking for his daughter. He was able to locate her using the pinpoint technology on her cell phone. He entered the cabana to find the sexual assault in progress. The father ripped the attacker off his daughter, who was disheveled, curled up on the ground, and crying. The rape was immediately reported to authorities, and the attacker was arrested and charged with statutory rape. He is awaiting trial in the Bahamas, set for May.
According to the civil complaint, the attacker should never have been at the resort at that hour to begin with. The rape occurred at a time when restaurants and bars were closed. The casinos were still open, but the attacker, under Bahamian law, was not allowed to gamble. Further, he was also known to be a small-time drug dealer. There was no legitimate reason, the plaintiff argued, for the assailant to be on the property when he was.
Plaintiffs allege the assailant was likely there for the purpose of targeting a young victim. The hotel chain knew or should have known he may have nefarious motives, plaintiffs allege. The company advertises itself to families as a purveyor of fun, safe family vacations. And yet, when this incident occurred, there were no security personnel present to prevent or intervene in the rape of a minor on its property. Plaintiffs allege the hotel chain failed to take both reasonable and necessary precautions to protect guests, causing this child to suffer an event that was painful, traumatizing, and permanently life-altering.

Suing for Sexual Cyberharassment in Florida
Sexual cyberhassment, more commonly known as revenge porn, is when someone posts or distributes intimate videos, photos, or images of another person online without their consent and with the intention to harass or upset that person. In general, when a person gives consent for a depiction of themselves in a sexually explicit image, the reasonable presumption is that they expect that image is going to remain private – even if they share it with someone else, such as an intimate partner. Violation of that trust is cyber sexual harassment.
As a crime, sexual cyberharassment in Florida is a third-degree felony, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison, per F.S. 784.049. Identifying information of the person depicted is a key element in the charge, as is the intent to cause emotional distress.
In addition to seeing justice through criminal charges and penalties, victims are within their rights to pursue monetary damages against the offender. As our Palm Beach sexual abuse lawyers can explain, the statute explicitly grants victims of this crime the right to initiate a civil action against the person who broke the law for various remedies, which may include:
Injunctive relief. This is an order to prevent, stop, or command certain behaviors.
Monetary damages of up to $5,000 or actual damages incurred as a result of violation of the law – whichever is greater. Damages can include things such as medical bills, lost wages or employment, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.
Reasonable attorney fees and costs.
There may be additional avenues in civil court to pursue for compensation in a case of sexual cyberharassment, but it will depend on the exact facts of the case and whether other entities had any degree of control over the offender. In particular, we'd be interested in analyzing whether the incidents occurred to any extent in the course and scope of employment. If an employer ignored a claim of sexual harassment in the workplace, there could be liability. Businesses have a responsibility to hold employees accountable for sexual harassment once it's been reported. Schools, too, may be liable if they were made aware of a problem and failed to address it. Continue reading

Study: 1 in 4 College Athletes Experience Sexual Assault By Authority
September 12, 2021 | by David J. Halberg, Esq.
Ongoing testimony of sickening abuse of U.S. Olympic gymnasts by an organization doctor has led to demands for significant change in sports organizations. Collegiate-level sports organizations should take heed, especially as a new study by the non-profit Lauren's Kids revealed 1 in 4 current and former college athletes surveyed reported experiencing sexual assault or sexual harassment by someone on campus who was in a position of power. That is compared to 1 in 10 in the general student population.
In other words, college athletes were 2.5 times more likely to encounter sexual abuse than their peers.
Coaches, it was indicated, were the most commonly-identified group of abusers.
USA Today reported this fact with a number of anecdotes from high-profile cases in recent years. Among those: Continue reading

Uber Accused of Failing to Protect Riders From Sexual Assault
A judge in California recently fined rideshare giant Uber nearly $60 million and threatened to suspend its license to operate in the state if the company refuses to pay the penalty and respond within 30 days to questions regarding the company's records on sexual assaults.
As our South Florida civil trial sexual assault lawyers know, a safety report released by the company last year revealed some 6,000 sexual assaults that were reported to Uber in connection with rides between 2017 and 2019.
As a public service provider, Uber and other ridesharing companies undoubtedly have some responsibility to keep customers safe. The extent of this responsibility, though, is part of what is being litigated in hundreds of sexual abuse lawsuits across the country. Continue reading

Boy Scouts' Sex Abuse Victims Seek Justice As Bankruptcy Deadline Looms
November 14, 2020 | by David J. Halberg, Esq.
It's one of the largest child sexual abuse scandals in U.S. history, yet for years, victims were made to feel as if they were the only one. As the deadline looms for filing civil liability claims of sexual assault and abuse against Boy Scouts of America, systemic problems within the youth organization are proving worse than many ever realized.
The Scouts filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and protection earlier this year, amid a sharp decline in membership as well as a flood of sexual abuse claims. As our civil trial lawyers can explain, bankruptcy places an automatic hold on all pending lawsuits while global settlements are negotiated. The bankruptcy also compels victims to have their case handled in a single federal bankruptcy court rather than in state courts across the country. It also allows the agency to reorganize and restructure its finances while continuing operation. A trust has been established from which victims of abuse who file civil claims will be able to collect compensation.
Claims filed in bankruptcy court, once vetted, will be paid by Scouts organization (which has more than $1 billion in real estate assets) and/or their insurers through the established trust. We saw this same type of bankruptcy restructuring/trust with the mass torts of asbestos liability. Dozens of Catholic dioceses that had been accused of liability for child sexual abuse have also used it.
Some are predicting that tens of thousands of new claimants will meet this month's deadline in the Boy Scouts' bankruptcy case. The Los Angeles Times reports there could be more claims filed in this bankruptcy than in all the previous Catholic Church bankruptcies combined.
Our South Florida sexual abuse attorneys recognize this overwhelming response underscores that the problem of abuse in youth organizations is one that demands greater attention and accountability.
Victims of abuse suffer years with guilt and shame. Some have contracted sexually-transmitted diseases. Many who are now older have wrestled with addiction, alcoholism, anger and difficulty maintaining close relationships. Some victim family members allege the pain was so great, the victims took their own lives. Continue reading
