Opposition lawmakers expressed concern over the weekend that the submarine probe would be forgotten because it has been overshadowed by the fires that have struck the country.
The German government may decide to cancel Israel's purchase of submarines from the Thyssen- Krupp company due to a criminal investigation in Israel, Channel 10 reported on Sunday from the firm's headquarters in Essen.
ThyssenKrupp is conducting its own internal probe into whether its sales representative in Israel, Miki Ganor, violated the company's policy by subcontracting to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's lawyer and confidant David Shimron.
Kaufmann said the company was eagerly awaiting the findings of an inquiry requested on Wednesday by Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit.
Another ThyssenKrupp official, Martin Murphy, confirmed Israeli reports that the company was compelled to fire its longtime representative and replace him with Ganor.
Former Israel Navy head V.-Adm. (res.) Eliezer Marom and embattled former National Security Council chairman Avriel Bar-Yosef threatened Thyssenkrupp seven years ago, that if it did not fire Brig.-Gen. (res.) Shaike Bareket and replace him with Ganor, Israel would not purchase more submarines from the company.
ThyssenKrupp officials said Ganor has made more than €10 million representing the company since then.
Top lawyer Jacob Weinroth tried to put to rest any allegations in the submarine affair against Netanyahu and Shimron, noting that Shimron represented the German company, but not with regard to the submarines.
In an interview with Channel 2 News on Saturday night, Weinroth said Shimron had represented Thyssenkrupp years before the submarine deal became an issue, trying to show that the firm brought him in without the deal in mind.
Mandelblit said on Thursday that he decided to open a preliminary investigation, though not yet a criminal probe, into the submarine affair after receiving new information.
Opposition lawmakers expressed concern over the weekend that the submarine probe would be forgotten because it has been overshadowed by the fires that have struck the country. To that end, Zionist Union MK Stav Shaffir will hold a hearing on conflicts of interest, including Shimron's, at her Knesset Committee on Transparency on Monday.


His claims that his return as James Bond was 'up in the air' left fans shaken and stirred.But Daniel Craig performed a dramatic twist by confirming he would reprise his role as 007 - following reports that he was offered 5million (£100million) to return.
Craig, who is the second longest serving Bond after Roger Moore, previously suggested he was done with the franchise after his fourth appearance as the iconic spy in Spectre. I've been quite cagey about it.'I've been doing interviews about it all day and people have been asking me and I've been kind of coy but I kind of felt like, if I was going to speak the truth, I should speak the truth to you.'The star admitted he 'always wanted to return' to the role, but confirmed the next Bond movie will be his last. But Craig is the highest paid Bond of all time, raking in an estimated million (£39million) for Spectre alone, which is more than the any of the other actor's earnings for their respective films combined.A fall out with producer Albert Broccoli saw Sir Sean resign the role ahead of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but he was tempted back for a huge pay day of .7millon (£5.2million) for his final film Diamonds Are Forever in 1971.Often known as the odd Bond out, having appeared in just the one film, Australian model and actor George Lazenby was paid around ,000 (£60,000) for 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service.But the actor - who played 007 in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre - has admitted that comment was 'really stupid'.
He added: 'Look, there's no point in making excuses about it, but it was two days after I'd finished shooting the last movie, I went straight to an interview, and someone said, 'Would you do another one?
He was paid 0,000 (£200,000) for From Russia With Love and then 0,000 (£390,000) for Goldfinger.

Review: Disney's Beauty and the Beast @ Edinburgh Playhouse
Credit: The Ambassador Theatre Group
Hannah Morley
Hannah Morley tells of her nostalgic experience of Disney's classic tale.
There is something about Beauty and the Beast that is utterly enchanting. It is a childhood favourite that has continued to forever fascinate me. I was lucky enough to see the show during its last run in London, 1999. I went with my mum, and it made me fall madly in love with musical theatre; a form I have loved ever since.
This new version of Beauty and the Beast for the stage has been brought to life by director Matt West. The casting of the main roles of Belle and the Beast have been filled by Courtney Stapleton and Emmanuel Kojo respectively, both distinguished actors. While these roles are traditionally played by white actors, this production has not been afraid to bring more racial diversity into the characters. Unfortunately, I never got to see the talents of Emmanuel Kojo as he was replaced by his equally brilliant understudy, Alyn Hawke for the matinee performance on the 13 November at the Edinburgh Playhouse.
"While these roles are traditionally played by white actors, this production has not been afraid to bring more racial diversity into the characters."
Now, we all know the story. A prince is cursed to live as a beast due to his selfishness and the servants are turned into walking, talking household appliances. The sorceress who did this gives the beast an enchanted rose, needing someone to fall in love with him before the last petal falls - the only way to break the curse and allow him to return to normal.
I was very excited to see Beauty and the Beast on the stage again. Though it is a new version with its narrative tailored for this decade, there are nods to the animated movie from 1991. The most obvious is the voice of the prologue narrator, Angela Lansbury, who played Mrs Potts in the animated film. During the performance, an image of Gaston from the animation makes an appearance and, for more eagle-eyed viewers, an image of Sebastian from The Little Mermaid pops up. It's perfect for people who like spotting references to other movies, drawing together cinema and its theatrical adaptation.
"It's perfect for people who like spotting references to other movies, drawing together cinema and its theatrical adaptation..."
Overall, the production value was superb, and it was a very enjoyable experience, however, I do have some small grievances. Gaston is one of my favourite characters, but I feel that Tom Senior, who portrayed said part, though a decent actor, didn't have the voice projection needed for such a role. His performance of the "Gaston" song fell a little flat, as the orchestra overpowered his voice. Alongside this, a scene well remembered from the movie was completely missed out in this production. While the beast and Gaston fight at the end, the battle between the servants of the castle and the villagers was omitted. It's a small thing, but I have always enjoyed watching the witless villagers get beaten up by walking, talking household appliances - a comedic and personal highlight I take from the film.
A special mention does have to be given to Gavin Lee. His performance as Lumiere is outstanding. He encapsulates the flamboyant nature of the character brilliantly, shining through "Be Our Guest" as he bursts on stage with flashy lights and an over the top dance sequence.
Although there are a couple of disappointments, Beauty and the Beast is still worth the visit. The songs stay with you long after the performance, with their catchy lyrics and exciting tunes.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast is no longer running at the Edinburgh Playhouse, however the musical is returning to tour in 2022 in Cardiff, Sunderland, Birmingham and Manchester.

Double Charged: Does Paying Back Victims Cost Kids Their Futures?
by Sayre Quevedo
Also Featured on KALW
This story is part of Youth Radio's Double Charged, a special investigation into the U.S. juvenile justice system.

Ricky Brum stood in an alleyway behind a furniture store in Manteca, California, and to be honest, it was a little awkward. He didn't really want to be there. Last February, Brum set some cardboard boxes on fire just a few feet away.
"Just that right there," he said, pointing to a black spot on the pavement. "Just a little burn mark on the floor."
One match did the trick, said Brum. "Like, I just sat there and was like 'Bam!'"
That "bam" changed Ricky Brum's life. He was 15 when he set the fire. It was his first time getting in trouble with the law. He was lucky: his charges were reduced to a misdemeanor. Brum went on probation, and juvenile hall.
Brum, and his mom Leanne, thought the worst was behind them. But then, while meeting with their public defender, they found out about restitution.
Leanne Brum and her son Ricky faced more than $221 thousand in restitution for a trash fire Ricky set when he was 15. Photo: Brett Myers/Youth Radio
"We thought it was a joke," said Leanne Brum.
Sitting at his kitchen table, Ricky Brum flipped through the restitution claim. Even though the fire department report said there was no damage to anything in the furniture store, the owner claimed his entire inventory of nearly 1400 items was smoke damaged.
The bill came out to $221,000.
The Brum family is fortunate. They own a house and have homeowner's insurance, and the insurance company went to bat for them, negotiating the restitution down to $10,000, and paying for that amount.
Restitution laws are by in large designed, to "make victims whole," by requiring offenders to repay victims for their financial losses. Some states limit restitution for juveniles. In Missouri, restitution is capped at $4000 for juvenile offenders. In New York, it's fifteen hundred. But in California, there are no limits to how much money minors can owe victims, often on top of serving time behind bars.
Christine Kroger is Ricky Brum's attorney, and she argues that restitution is anything but rehabilitative for young people. "What we see is that it's all about punishment," said Kroger. "For example, there's a whole caseload of kids that have satisfied every other term and condition of their probation, but they just don't get off probation because they still owe money."
Restitution can't be erased by claiming bankruptcy. And if restitution is still owed by the time offenders turn 21, it can turn into a civil judgment. Victims can garnish up to 25% of offenders' wages, can take their tax refunds, and place liens on property.
Sueann Koster's grandson threw a pool party at her house while she and her husband were away on vacation. The grandson was in high school, and one of the teens who came over to swim came back and robbed her.

At the time, Koster was recuperating from breast cancer. She said, "I had done a year of chemo and my husband told me he wanted to take me on a little trip. Well, when I came back I was not just a victim of cancer, but of a burglary."
The teen stole jewelry including her husband's wedding band and a necklace Koster got as an anniversary gift, and in court, Koster says the teen spat at her to intimidate her from claiming restitution.
Sueann Koster adopted Dorothy and Toto as guard dogs after her home was burglarized. The cost of spaying and neutering was covered by restitution. Photo: Myles Bess/Youth Radio
"Well he did not realize that the more he did that, the more I was determined." said Koster. "You know, 'You little punk. You're not going to intimidate me.'"
Koster won $2600 restitution for the stolen jewelry, and another $6000 for things like mileage, lost wages, and the cost of new security upgrades to her home — including the cost of spaying and neutering her new watch dogs Dorothy and Toto. The offender still owes Koster about $1000 dollars in interest but has otherwise paid the restitution in full.
Payment is rare. There are no statewide statistics on juvenile restitution, but Youth Radio collected numbers from three of California's largest counties and found that less than 30% of restitution amounts are paid.
"I think that people recognize there are certain dollar amounts that are not going to be paid at all, ever," said Roger Chan, who runs the East Bay Children's Law Offices in Oakland. Juvenile law, said Chan, is about reform, giving young people a chance to start over. However, Chan argues that restitution too often gets in the way because it saddles kids with unreasonably high debt.
"If you order such a huge amount of restitution to a young person who has no ability to pay it, how meaningful is that as a consequence," asked Chan. "Is that really an effective way for the young person to be rehabilitated and is that really beneficial to victims?"
Roger Chan outside the East Bay Children's Law Offices in Oakland. Photo: Myles Bess/Youth Radio
Chan is trying to change California's law to let judges consider a kid's ability to pay. It's not just for the benefit of young offenders. Chan says it's for victims too, because when restitution sums are realistic, he says victims are more likely to get paid.
To say that juvenile restitution is complicated is an understatement. It's a process that wrestles with two competing philosophies around the idea of justice: justice for victims who have the right to be paid for their losses — even when the offender spends time in jail — and justice for juvenile offenders, who need to be held accountable but also allowed to move on from their crimes, and from the system.

EspañolMexico's Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray begins his visit to California this Monday, September 11, during which he will meet with Mexicans struggling with the United States' immigration policy. US President Donald Trump remains determined to fund the construction of a border wall to keep more from coming into the country, and has recently announced the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that allows people who entered the country at a young age to stay and work.
Videgaray was scheduled to meet with Governor Jerry Brown this Monday as well as state legislative leaders in the California capital of Sacramento. He will then head to Los Angeles where he plans to meet with business and community leaders, as well as to announce support for young immigrants no longer protected by DACA.
According to officials from the Los Angeles consulate, the chancellor will also visit Washington, D.C. The trip comes at a critical crossroads for the two countries due also to ongoing efforts to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Chancello @LVidegaray begins his visit to the USA; he will meet with Dreamers and state and federal authorities.
Rafael Fernández de Castro, Director of the Center for US-Mexican Studies at the University of California at San Diego, said the trip aims to awaken Mexico's "natural allies" while sending a message to Washington that both countries must work together.

Washington Football Team to announce new team name, logo on Feb. 2
4 January 2022, 9:55 am ·3 min read
Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow won't be the only stars of Groundhog Day next month.
The Washington Football Team revealed Tuesday that it will announce its new team name and logo on Feb. 2, just 11 days before the Super Bowl. While we don't know what the new name will be, team president Jason Wright let everyone know what it wouldn't be: Wolves or RedWolves.
Those names were two of the most popular with fans, but Wright explained why WFT wouldn't be moving forward with either one.
Early on we understood Wolves — or some variation of it — was one of our fan favorites. As I've said all along, we take feedback from our fans seriously, and because of your interest in this name, we put Wolves on a list of options to explore fully. Once we began looking into Wolves, however, we became aware of a notable challenge: trademarks held by other teams would limit our ability to make the name our own. And without Wolves, variations like RedWolves wouldn't have been viable either for these and other reasons.
Understanding the weight and importance of our team name, and excitement around other name options — both internally and within our fan base — we didn't want to risk going down a route that could be dotted with legal hurdles. The prospect of years of litigation wasn't something that we wanted you, our fans, to have to bear as you begin to embrace a new brand.
Did WFT drop a hint about new team name?
Wright dropped no obvious hints about the new team name, but the fact that WFT chose Groundhog Day to unveil the new branding might be significant. Could they be setting the stage for the Washington Groundhogs?
It's possible, but a new team name has presented itself: the Washington Admirals. Whoever owns the WashingtonAdmirals.com domain name decided that it should redirect to the Washington Football Team's website.
Nearly a month before Washington Football Team's name-change reveal, https://t.co/kfCjTDD7zQ currently redirects to their website. Take that for what it's worth.
— Cody Benjamin (@CodyJBenjamin) January 4, 2022
That feels like a dead giveaway, though we'll have to wait until Feb. 2 to know for sure. Unfortunately, despite their dedication to avoiding legal issues, there might be one on the horizon.
If you go to https://t.co/H5O5B2VcGx, it leads to the Washington Football Team website
There's already a DC team called the Admirals, which is part of Major League Quidditch https://t.co/5nqF9UV9kw pic.twitter.com/7ksS2jILeB
— Joon Lee 이준엽 (@joonlee) January 4, 2022
Yes, a "quidditch" team currently calls themselves the Washington Admirals. While quidditch is a pretend sport that's played on brooms in the Harry Potter books, it has made its way to the real world (though sadly without magically levitating brooms). Could Washington be hearing from Major League Quidditch's lawyers in the near future? It's possible, but at this point we don't even know if Washington is actually choosing the Admirals as their new team name. Even if they are, WFT probably isn't losing sleep over choosing the same name as a team that plays a sport that most people think exists only in books and movies.

Join her as she chronicles her journey into the creative world of producing a show and as she explores interesting, engaging and compelling issues that grab our attention and capture our imagination.
I glanced down at my ornate plate, at the exquisite fabric that concealed the dried fruit and nuts, sweets and rice, and at the flame of the small diya that cast a soft glow on my offerings. As the rhythmic singing of the legendary tale began again, I lifted my pooja thali and passed it to the unknown woman to the right of me, while she did the same with hers, as did every other woman in unrehearsed coordination who was seated in the large circle on the temple floor. The sight was magnificent, a flame on every plate, twinkling on the faces of women elaborately decked out in their finest jewels and Indian garments. It was as if several hundred new brides of every age had descended on the temple all at once. The thalis were passed around the circle from woman to woman, until at last all the thalis were reunited with their rightful owners. This was the celebration of Karva Chauth, and for the first time in the 15 years that I had been a wilful participant, I wondered what exactly I was doing.
Karva Chauth is an annual ritual of strict fasting predominantly observed by married Hindu women in or from North India, who sacrifice in order to unite the body and soul towards a single purpose – to pray for the long and healthy lives of their husbands. It follows the lunar calendar and is usually observed on a day in late October or early November. The fast begins at sunrise and ends only after offering prayers and worshipping the moon at night, with not even a single drop of water in between.
I remember as a little girl how excited I would be when Karva Chauth came around. My mother would tuck me into bed with assurances that she would not forget to wake me up at 5:00 in the morning so that we could share a meal together – just her and I. And when she did, my mom freshly showered and I bleary-eyed, it somehow seemed like precious stolen time. While the rest of the world was asleep and the dark of the night enveloped us, she and I would enjoy yummy fresh paranthas, yogurt, fruits and some tranquil bonding moments together. It felt truly special.
And so, as a young woman praying for a good husband, and as a young bride who did manage to find an amazing husband, I never gave it a second thought. That I would sacrifice a day of food and offer my penance for a long married life with him was the least I could do. It struck my husband as odd, however, that I should engage in a ritual sacrifice for his long life. As he explained to me on our first Karva Chauth together, why would he want to live a long life if not with me (see what I mean about amazing)? And so our modern take on an old custom was born. He fasted for me, and I fasted for him. It was symbolic and loving and pure. It was mutual and it was giving. So, year after year, without question, we fasted on Karva Chauth together, breaking the fast with my mother or his mother and their respective circles of fasting friends.
In the years since the two of us moved to Toronto, we have increasingly felt culturally adrift. Strange statement, I know, in this city replete with Indians, but true nonetheless. And it crystallized over the years through celebrations like Karva Chauth and Diwali. When we were growing up in Montreal, our parents' social circles were made up mostly of other Indian immigrant families, who clung to one another and became our extended families. That first generation's direct and immediate connection to the culture from India meant that our occasions were festively celebrated, our culture was actively transmitted through them. Me, my husband, and a whole generation of second-generation Indians only know what we know through them. We are one generation removed from our native culture, and surrounded by a different mainstream culture that pulls us in another direction. It is a real effort to preserve our "Indian-ness", like fighting a strong underwater current, with each of us finding our own footing in a unique place as we navigate between the two cultures.
So, here in Toronto, with no ability to rely regularly on our parents, it was a discouraging realization to feel responsible for our nuclear family's cultural connection, doubly so when we realized that many of our Indian friends either did not feel the affinity to our culture or could easily rely on their parents, many of whom live in the vicinity. Of course, we could do the same and go home to Montreal to be with our families on our special occasions, but since they often fall during the work week and are not recognized holidays in the Christian calendar such as Christmas and Easter, it is not always practical.
So, over the past many years in Toronto, while my strict observance of the Karva Chauth fast has been unwavering, my adherence to the rituals, including the pooja, has suffered both in practice and enthusiasm. I found myself in a situation where I had no one with whom I could regularly do the thali pooja or break my fast. Some of my friends who do observe the fast have their own families around them, while others opt out altogether for a multitude of legitimate reasons. Some find the practice chauvinistic or antiquated, others feel that is just doesn't work for the modern working woman to fast during the work day.
And so it was that this year I went to the temple. Instead of just throwing a chunni on my head at home and going through the motions, I put on a bright sari and dressed the kids in their Indian clothes. I sat amongst countless other women recounting a Karva Chauth tale that defies belief and holds no meaning for me … and I asked myself why I bother. Exactly why am I compelled to go to all this trouble for a ritual that may not be well suited to these modern times and values?
And it dawned on me that it is a connection to my past, to my childhood, to my mother. And my connection to something even further back than that, to my ancestral and cultural history. And it is a way for me to transmit to my children an unspoken sense about their past, their inheritance through us, me and my husband.
As their faces lit up when we stepped into the temple, and as they embraced all that being Indian had to offer in that moment, I finally knew that I was doing the right thing.

ZeroAccess rootkit is far from new and exciting but but this is a fresh lot with still active C2 servers.
Although the dropper is detected by at least half of AV engines, post infection detection is another story. I tried Kaspersky TDSS Killer, Avast Rootkit utility and RootRepeal without any success. I used Gmer and LordPE to carve out the hidden file from the memory. You can use Redline or Volatility too.
You can download 5 files below together with pcaps from one of the files and the file dumped from memory. It appears that free videos and apps names are used as the lure in this case.

Over the last few weeks I've been doing a lot of doodling - it's a good way to get unstuck! I'm posting most of them on Instagram, which I'm liking quite a lot at the moment; it feels quite calm and unpressured, unlike a lot of other social media. Doodling makes me feel quite calm too, actually. A good habit to keep up, I reckon.

Print Issue: September 2016
By H.R. "Hank" Nolin, CPP
On June 12, 2016, a gunman shot 102 people in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, killing 49. Agencies, both government and private, must be prepared to recover from such major incidents. Following are five issues that should be considered when crafting post-incident plans.
1. COUNSELING. Identify a list of counselors for the living victims, family members of the deceased, and other persons who were directly or indirectly involved with the incident. This includes first responders. (In this case, where the gay community was targeted, special emphasis was placed on their needs.) Counselors can include certified therapy animals and their trained handlers. Providing privacy and personal time for the families and friends of the victims in their time of grief is crucial. It is also important to shield those who ask for privacy from the media.
2. BUSINESSES. Access must be granted to the area surrounding the incident so that local businesses can resume operation as soon as possible. The crime scene should be processed in a timely manner to allow the community to return to a feeling of normalcy and business as usual.
3. COMMUNITY AWARENESS. The use of the friendly and concerned media can help keep the community informed and involved. Holding frequent press conferences and meetings with the community and its leaders conveys that agencies plan to be open about the incident and the follow-up.
4. DEBRIEFING. Ensure that all victims, witnesses, and responders are fully interviewed in a humane and caring way. This will assist the lead agency in trying to reconstruct the incident and come to a fuller understanding of its causes and outcomes.
5. PLANNING. Continue to work within the community to plan for possible future incidents, identify possible soft targets, educate the public on the appropriate response to such an attack, work with the public on developing strategic response plans, and communicate openly with all involved.

India is the seventh largest country in the world, with the second largest population. To the north it borders Nepal and China, to the east Bangladesh and Myanmar, to the south the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, and to the west, Pakistan. Everywhere you go there is great diversity, in both the landscape, and the people. A visit to India is like visiting many different counties.
India is broken down into 6 regions, 7 territories and 28 states, which are also linked to the languages spoken there. We'll run from north to south, at the very top of the country is the area known as Himalaya North which includes Kashmir. The most famous mountain range in the world gives this areas its name, there are some wonderful places to visit in this region, although those at higher altitudes must be done on foot, not a motorhome rental or campervan hire vehicle.
Next are the Plains, including the Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, this is also home to India's capital Delhi, and in the very centre of the region there are dense forests with lots of nature and animal reserves. Western India is home to the famous holiday resort of Goa. It is also where you will find Rajasthan, and Gujarat, where visitors can see elaborate palaces, cities and forts as well as India's biggest city Mumbai.
The region of Southern India has popular, and less well known, island resorts as well as Tamil Nadu and beautiful Kerala with its backwaters. A visit here has something for everyone from golden beaches to hill stations, and tropical forests.
The last two regions are the country's most rural and undiscovered areas for any visitors, let alone those with a motorhome rental or campervan hire vehicle. Eastern India, home to Kolkota, or Calcutta, and North Eastern India, which is full of tribal states and famous for its tea production.
India has three seasons, summer, winter, and monsoon season, and each of these seasons is very different depending on where in the country they occur, for example, winter in the Himalayas is much different to winter in Goa. The one season to definitely avoid is the monsoon season, of which there are two, the southwest, and the northwest. The southwest monsoon causes rain throughout the whole of the country, and runs from June until September; the west coast is the area that takes the brunt of these rains. The northwest monsoon season lasts from October to February and is probably more destructive due to occasional cyclones, the residents in the north east of the country are the unfortunate ones who are affected by both monsoon and are recorded as the area of the world that receives the most rainfall.
India may be extreme but it has mountains, jungles, rivers, deserts and beaches, and for visitors who enjoy meeting the locals and seeing some wonderful sights, a motorhome rental or campervan hire holiday in India will certainly be something to remember for years to come.

BLM Activist Charged with Anti-Asian Hate Crime as Left Blames Attacks on 'White Supremacy'
By C. Douglas Golden April 18, 2021 at 8:53am
What a shock: A Black Lives Matter activist charged in alleged hate crimes against Asian-Americans in Seattle had previously called the Atlanta spa shooting an act of "white supremacy."
According to the New York Post, 51-year-old Christopher Hamner participated in Black Lives Matter protests last summer and even posted video from the lawless Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone occupied encampment in Seattle on his Facebook page.
Yet, the left-wing activist is accused of two separate incidents last month in which he attacked three Asian-American women. While he was charged last month and the Facebook page was discovered shortly afterward by The Post-Millennial, the case is only now getting wider coverage.
The first incident occurred on March 16, according to KIRO-TV. Pamela Cole, who told the stateion she is Chinese and Malaysian and whose 5- and 10-year-old children are both Asian and African-Amerian, was sitting at a red light when her vehicle was allegedly accosted by Hamner, who was in an adjacent car.
"The moment he made eye contact with me he stopped, opens his door and he's screaming, 'F*** you, you Asian b****. F*** you!' and I was in complete shock. Are you talking to me?" Cole told KIRO.
"He jumps out the car and he's charging at us," she said. "That was the scariest part for me.
"He comes to my window and he's in the middle of the street and he's like, 'Get out! Get out!"
She went on to say that, "I locked my door. That was my safety — I'm going to lock my door. I had nothing. I just felt so defenseless and so helpless. And you know as a mom, all we want to do is take care of our kids and protect them.
"Then, thank God, the light changed. And even as we were running through and trying to turn, he's still throwing things at us, and watching as I'm turning and watching where I'm going."
Do you think the media is avoiding covering this case because it doesn't fit their narrative?
Yes: 100% (1653 Votes)
According to The Seattle Times, the charges say that when Cole posted about the incident on social media, one of her friends' husbands identified Hamner as a potential suspect and sent Cole a picture of him. Hamner was allegedly wearing the same shoes in the picture as he was during the incident, Cole said.
The second incident happened three days later, according to The Seattle Times.
In that incident, two Asian women were driving together when a man cut them off, blocked traffic and accosted them. The man again allegedly shouted explicit remarks mentioning the fact they were Asian. They pulled into a parking space and looked back when they saw the driver charging at them. They rolled up their windows so they couldn't hear what he was saying, but he threw a plastic item before they drove off.
Their dashcam recorded the entire incident and the license plate on the assailant's car matched a vehicle registered to Hamner. In addition, according to The Seattle Times, an officer quoted in the charges said the footage showed the attacker "was clearly Hamner."
Yet, according to screenshots from The Post-Millennial, Hamner shared a NowThis video a week after the Atlanta spa shootings — which happened on the day of the first incident he's alleged to have perpetrated, it's worth noting — urging people to "[s]tand UNITED against racism & white supremacy." Yes, he apparently called the Atlanta attacks white supremacy — and here he was, allegedly perpetrating anti-Asian attacks of his own.
Watch: CNN Anchor Watches Narrative Collapse, Left Stunned When She Finds out Colorado Shooting Suspect is 'Non-Binary'
NEW: One day after eight women were murdered in Atlanta, Christopher Hamner posted on Facebook that we've "all had bad days but it never justifies hate crimes."
The day before, Hamner allegedly committed a hate crime against an Asian American Seattleite. https://t.co/wH3LFThLtZ
— (((Jason Rantz))) on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) April 14, 2021
And then there were the posts of Hamner protesting at Black Lives Matter events and inside CHAZ, where he was pictured holding up an anti-police, anti-Donald Trump sign. The Post-Millennial stated Hamner had a "reputation as a staunch BLM and racial-justice activist in the Seattle-area."
Let's be clear: We can't adduce any connection between Hamner's activism, such as it may have been, and the acts he's alleged to have committed. Indeed, his lawyer posited at a court hearing last month that Hamner suffers from mental illness, according to KATU-TV.
Imagine, however, this was the other way around.
Imagine a Republican man with a social media profile full of MAGA hat pictures and Republican slogans. Imagine he even dipped his toe into some controversial, threatening posts.
("Sleep Good tonight Rand Paul" an account linked to Hamner tweeted in February, along with a GIF of a knife being held up to a man's head. The tweet has since been deleted for violating the Twitter rules.)
Imagine that same Republican was accused of hate crimes against Asians — including one where the victim's children were in the car. Imagine one of the attacks took place on the same day as a mass shooting attributed to anti-Asian bias (something which the shooter denies, but don't tell this to anyone in the media). Imagine there was something that was as allegedly hypocritical as Hamner's "[s]tand UNITED against racism & white supremacy."
You don't have to imagine the persistence and fervor of the coverage this individual would receive, no matter what he was charged with.
In Hamner's case, it's one hate crime charge for the two incidents and three charges of malicious harassment, according to King County jail records. He pleaded not guilty and his trial is set to begin on June 3.
Coverage of him outside of the Seattle area, meanwhile, was almost non-existent until the New York Post picked the story up last week.
Again: What a shock.

Householders pay 'green' bill
Household electricity bills are being used to subsidise massive profits for wind turbine companies.
The Government has overseen a scheme which sees almost £10-a-year added to every consumer's bill to help promote renewable energy – but despite this few companies have built new wind farms and many households are still getting their power from coal burning generators.
Northumberland wind farm campaigners last night said the expensive subsidies for energy companies were the real reason behind the dozens of turbines planned for the North-East.
More than £580m-a-year is paid out at present and this is set to rise to more than £1.3bn by 2010 as household bills rise.
The Journal revealed in April the details of the Renewables Obligation (RO) incentive scheme which sees electricity generating companies that invest in renewable energy sources paid lucrative sums by suppliers for each megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity they produce – which is covered by the extra added to family bills.
As a result the companies bidding to erect turbines are offering landowners in the North vast sums as they try to cash in.
And as the Government is now intent on sourcing at least 15% of UK energy from renewable sources, the amount paid in subsidies will rise to £3bn a year by 2020. But because wind turbines are in some areas quite profitable, some financial experts are now saying the RO targets are simply allowing some companies to make huge profits.
Peter Atherton, head utilities analyst at Citi Investment Research, said: "It's a bonanza. Anyone who can get their nose in the trough is trying to."
Save Our Landscape wind farm campaigner Andrew Joicey said the surge in wind farms in Northumberland was as a direct result of the RO scheme.
Mr Joicey said: "The main reason why we are under so much pressure is because these turbines generate massive profit for the companies and the suppliers need them for the certificate.
"We would never see a situation where a two-storey house is allowed to be built in these scenic areas but the renewable energy company goes to the end of the earth to get planning permission for these turbines because they know how much money they can get.
"The problem with it, and even Ofgem recognise this, is that it rewards the production of renewable energy regardless of the method. Wind turbines despite there disruption are the easiest and therefore the most profitable."
The 51-year-old, who runs the 900-acre New Etal farm in Cornhill-on-Tweed, close to the Scottish border, first became concerned after becoming aware of an increasing number of plans for wind farms close to his family's 15,000-acre Ford and Etal estates.
Mr Joicey added that rural areas of Northumberland are seen as an easy target for developers because they see them as having a thin population of who are not familiar with fighting seriously aggressive, intrusive and inappropriate planning applications.
Andrew Wright, managing director of markets at Ofgem, the electricity regulator, said: "The RO is a very expensive way of providing support for renewables."
Energy companies have backed the RO scheme as the best way to encourage renewable sources to develop.
Npower, who are both generators and suppliers, said wind energy accounts for only £80m in turnover and would not be feasible without support.
Kevin McCullough, director of renewables, said: "If you did not have the RO, you would not see any wind farms being built."
The Department for Business said: "Since the RO was established in 2002, we have increased our electricity being generated from renewable sources to 5% and we expect to increase this to 15% by 2015."
The Journal left messages at the British Wind Energy Association but these were not returned.
MOD concern for UK radar
The Ministry of Defence has raised concerns that the Government's wind farm ambitions may interfere with radar stations across the UK.
After last year's inquiry into a proposed 18-turbine development at South Charlton, near Alnwick, Northumberland, the MoD has objected to four other proposals nation-wide.
Military chiefs are worried the proposed turbines will make planes impossible to spot and are a threat to RAF low-flying practice.
Yesterday it was reported that Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, the Chief of the Defence Staff, had told the Government that the UK's radar capabilities must not be impaired by renewable energy schemes.
The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, which is responsible for energy policy, acknowledged there were "issues" over military radar and turbine sites.
An MoD spokesman denied the military would automatically lodge objections to new plans, saying: "All wind farm applications are assessed on a site by site basis. The MoD is committed to Government targets for renewable energy and whenever possible we seek to work with wind farm developers to find a mutually acceptable solution."
Landowners offered cash incentive
The Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROC) are a chance for big energy suppliers to prove they are committed to climate change without having to invest in renewable technology.
There are three steps in the energy chain, the producer, the supplier and the consumer and all are tied into the ROC scheme.
For each Megawatt hour of energy a wind turbine company produces the electricity regulator Ofgem gives them one ROC.
Energy companies who supply energy to our homes are under an obligation to invest in renewable sources.
Ofgem wants each supplier to have a certain amount of ROCs each year to show their commitment but many companies just buy these up without any real investment.
ROCs are typically selling for about £46, which inflates the price of wholesale electricity for generators. That gives them a huge incentive to find sites where they can erect turbines – meaning landowners can be offered £100,000 a year for housing a wind farm.
Why I've changed my direction – Alastair Gilmour
Last June I tramped over several miles of Northumberland moorland to get the background on proposals to build wind farms on tourist-sensitive sites.
As a head-straightening exercise, it certainly did the trick. I admit to thinking previously that there was something beautiful about these tall, white, slender structures with their sculptural, haunting quality. Observing them at work was hypnotic, poetically rhythmic and functional. We're constantly told we need to look at alternative energy sources as a matter of some urgency and as wind technology is fairly advanced, free, and wave-power remains a far-off dream, there's your answer. And they weren't in my back yard. But roam a little, delve a bit, talk lots to people running businesses which are totally reliant on visitors, then argue with activists, listen to concerned campaigners and follow the trails of corporations and your opinion gradually alters.
Discover how much money is being earned by wind farm operators through ROCs and you begin to revise your opinion. Realise that corporate noses are deep in subsidy troughs with not a speck of regard for local communities and the binding spell of a slowly-turning blade begins to crack.
Before last June, I had allowed myself to be blown along by the prevailing opinion that wind power is the only answer. On appropriate sites, it is certainly one solution, but wind farms are not a fraction as efficient as some operators would have you believe and their detrimental effect on some of our most stunning landscape is a price not worth considering. I am now happy to stand up and face the wind; lining the pockets of an offshore corporation is quite another matter.

Requesting Entity: Office of the Municipal Accountant of Boljoon, Cebu
Issues Concern: Deferment of the Implementation of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A, Composition of BAC for Barangays and Implementation of Projects �By Administration�
1. Whether or not the implementation of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A may be deferred.
We wish to inform you that the Government Procurement Policy Board (�GPPB�), under Policy Matter 004-2004 dated March 25, 2004, was of the opinion that the implementation of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A is absolute and mandatory after its effectivity on October 8, 2003. Furthermore, it was mentioned therein that the GPPB has no authority to grant exemptions from the implementation of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A as it is �bereft of a legislative delegated authority to determine within its discretion or �to ascertain, under and pursuant to law, some circumstances on which the law by its own terms, makes its own action depend, or to find the facts or conditions properly prescribed under which a law as passed will or will not operate, that is, for putting in effect, applying or suspending a law.��
As such, deferment of the implementation of the provisions of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A as requested by your municipality through its Resolution No. 42-�04 cannot be granted preferable action.
2. Whether or not Barangays may procure following the provisions of Republic Act 7160 (R.A. 7160).
Based on the mandatory application of R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A as discussed above, procurement activities of Barangays should follow the rules and regulations provided therein regardless of their inability to constitute their own Bids and Awards Committee (�BAC�). Although R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A did not expressly provide for the specific composition of the BAC for barangays, it nevertheless did not fail to recognize the existence and importance of the smallest unit of the local government.
Moreover, in view of numerous requests from Barangays regarding their inability to constitute a BAC in compliance with the above-quoted provision, the GPPB clarified the composition of BAC for Barangays through GPPB Resolution No. 01-2004, dated March 10, 2004, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex �B�. In this regard, concerns such as the one being raised by your office, will now be addressed since Barangays can now constitute their own BAC and not resort to outsourcing of its procurement through their respective municipalities, cities or provinces.
As a final note on this issue, we reiterate that procurement by Barangays cannot be made using the provisions of R.A. 7160 inasmuch as Title Six Book Two of R.A. 7160 which includes Section 364 was repealed by R.A. 9184 as clarified under Section 75 of its IRR-A. Having been effectively repealed by R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A, Section 364 of R.A. 7160 cannot be used as a legal basis for the constitution of BACs for Barangay level.
3. Whether or not implementation of projects �by administration� is allowed under R.A. 9184 and its IRR-A.
We quote hereunder the pertinent portion of NPMs 064-2004 and 073-2004, to wit:
The IRR-A of R.A. 9184 provides that procuring entities have the option to undertake projects �by administration� in the cases mentioned in Section 53(b) thereof, to wit:
In case of imminent danger to life or property during a state of calamity, or when time is of the essence arising from natural or man-made calamities or other causes where immediate action is necessary to prevent damage to or loss of life or property, or to restore vital public services, infrastructure projects, the procuring entity has the option to undertake the project through negotiated procurement or by administration or, in high risk areas, through the AFP; (Emphasis supplied)
It appears from the above-quoted provision that procuring entities may opt to undertake projects �by administration� only in the cases specified therein. These are as follows: (a) imminent danger to life or property during a state of calamity; (b) time is of the essence arising from natural or man-made calamities; (c) other causes where immediate action is necessary to prevent damage to or loss of life or property; or (d) to restore vital public services.
Applying the principle of expressio unius est exclusio alterius (express mention is implied exclusion) which means that the express mention of one thing, will as a general rule, exclude others not mentioned, procuring entities cannot undertake a project �by administration� other than in the cases specifically mentioned in Section 53(b) of the IRR-A of R.A. 9184.

There's just something nice about a woman in a hat. Part of the mysterious, part of a sophisticated, completely stylish (not to mention warm), topping to your head with a fedora, cloche, or hat is essential, as the weather turns cold. But, as finding the right clothes for your body type, you need to choose the right hat face shape. Whether the computer is Oval, Square, Round or heart-shaped, Long, there's a flattering look on there for you. Here are 10 styles to get you started.
Quiz: What face shape? Find out now.
When the forehead is wide, but China is a narrow, brim can help balance out the face shape, but if you go too wide, the Chinese appear in even narrower. One solution: a bucket hat. This tweed Eugenia Kim version has 2-inch brim-super flattering, heart-shaped face.
Such as an oval face shapes, heart shape, look good in most of the hat styles. Trendy, the hipster vibe, whether slouchy Knit Beanie. We are smitten with this wild look from Mars, the giant faux fur Pom-Pom on top. Available in Burgundy, ivory, charcoal and black, we just might be the one of each shade.
To help shorten the long face, try a hat with a big, round lierijoka can be pulled down low on the forehead. Just be sure to avoid hats high crowns-they'll only make your face look even longer.
Retro, 1920s-style cloche (which is the French Bell) is not only the style sophisticated, but also flatters long face, when filled to the brim with hide forehead. This seemed like a version of the polka dot band and bow and is lined with Paisley. Must.
the oval of the face looks pretty and so en Vogue-modern, slouchy beret. This is the number of the Red knit Ugg Australia will keep you warm, cozy and stylish whether you're heading out on the terrace, on the way to work or to meet friends for an evening in the city. Belle, oui?
When your face is oval, you can rock out in pretty much any hairstyle, sunglasses stylish-you guessed it-the hat. This season, JCREW brings back the classic baseball cap, but the bling in this wine-colored, Crystal-embellished wool version will take you to the minors Major League fashionista.
If the face is round, to create the illusion of length seek fedora high Crown. Tallness in this felt like the style will help slim your face, while the asymmetrical brim is also slimming. Toss in that flirty floral ornament and you have a winner. But do not let it go to your, uh, head, OK?
Round face-one of which is as wide as it will benefit from have a long newsboy style. Cocked to the side, angle will help slim your face, as well as the brim. This camel knit look of the Echo is a classic, but not at all old hat.
The women in the square, angular face shapes look lovely in wide-brimmed hat, which help to soften a wide jawline. Irregular wire brim with this knitted style flatters the corners, and lace trim adds a bit of femininity to boot.
Balance out strong, square face felt Hat-brim and a soft, fedora narrow indented Crown. A short brim Catarzi villa, velvet trim and pinned to the Crown, which gives a nod to the menswear-but really beautiful way.

Q: Trying to find a very short story, about a man who goes to hell Possibly from around 60s/70s. A man goes to Hell. He realises that as he won't die in Hell, he only needed to get used to the burning and pain and then he'll be able  to cope.
The final bit was about how it turned freezing cold. The story was only a couple of pages long, so probably in an anthology or similar.

Paul Easing Back In Public View After Lung Surgery
WKMS | By Bruce Schreiner
J. Tyler Franklin/WFPL News
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is easing back into public activities after his recent lung surgery sidelined him for part of the August congressional break.
The Kentucky Republican is set to deliver a speech Tuesday at a chamber of commerce luncheon in southern Kentucky. It marks his first public appearance since part of his lung was removed at a Tennessee hospital. The senator says the surgery stemmed from injuries suffered when a neighbor tackled him while he was doing yard work at his Kentucky home in late 2017.
Initially, most of Paul's August travel plans were canceled due to the operation more than a week ago at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. But his recovery has progressed faster than expected, allowing him to go to Williamsburg for the chamber event on Tuesday.
"I'm actually doing pretty well," Paul said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Monday, his first since the surgery. "And like anybody else who's used to being active, it's hard to sit still. I'm ready to get back in the mix of things and to start traveling around the state some."
His schedule will be scaled back considerably from what had been planned before the surgery, with just a handful of appearances planned in the next two weeks.
He'll return to Washington in September when Congress reconvenes, and by then "I shouldn't have any limitations," Paul said.
The surgery became necessary after he had struggled with what turned out to be a lingering infection in the damaged lung, the senator said.
During his recovery, it wasn't all well-wishers reacting to his surgery on social media, he said. Paul said he was targeted by some detractors, adding: "We have some real strong hate going on out there."
A former presidential hopeful, Paul acknowledged that the social media vitriol comes from both ends of the political spectrum, saying: "I think it is important that we all sort of calm our rhetoric down."
The senator's attacker, Rene Boucher, pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress and received a 30-day prison sentence. Federal prosecutors have appealed, saying 21 months would have been appropriate. Paul sued Boucher, and a jury in Bowling Green, Kentucky, awarded the senator more than $580,000 in damages and medical expenses. Boucher has since sold his home next door to the senator.
The overheated rhetoric swirling on social media hasn't affected Paul's long-term political plans, with the senator saying that "unless something should change, I am planning on running for reelection" in 2022. Paul is now in his second term.
While he was recovering, the nation was rocked by mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.
Paul, a strong gun-rights advocate, signaled his willingness to support something along the lines of "red flag" laws that allow guns to be removed from those who may be a danger to themselves and others.
"I'm not opposed to sort of an emergency order for 48 hours and then you get a hearing in a court where you get the full due-process protections," he said in the interview. "It's the one thing that could fix a lot of stuff. I think most of these homicidal attackers ... are sending off signals to their family and community."

Download Environmental Engineering By Joseph A. Salvato, Nelson L. Nemerow, Franklin J. Agardy – In this text emphasis is placed on the practical application of sanitary science and engineering theory and principles to comprehensive environmental control. This is necessary if available knowledge is to benefit humans now and in future generations without transferring an environmental problem from one media (air, water, or land) to another. In addition, and in deliberate contrast to complement other texts, empirical formulas, rule of thumb, experience, and good practice are identified and applied when possible to illustrate the ''best'' possible solution under the particular circumstances. It must be recognized, however, that knowledge and conditions change and that this may be hazardous when blindly applied by the practitioner. It is sincerely hoped, however, that individual ingenuity and investigation will not be stifled by such practicality but will be challenged and stimulated to always consider new developments and alternatives.
A special effort was made to include general design, construction, maintenance, and operation details as they relate to plants and structures. Examples and drawings are used freely to help in the understanding and use of the subject matter. The reader is referred to the references and bibliography in each chapter for more information on complex designs and problems that are beyond the scope of this text.

The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

Orbán György: Piano Suite
Melis: Black & White Piano Suite (excerpts)
J. S. Bach: English Suite No. 3 in G minor, BWV 808
Péter Kiss (piano)
In his professional life, Péter Kiss makes every effort to find a balance between giving concerts and teaching. He has been a chamber teacher at the Liszt Academy for many years, while also being a regular feature on concert stages in Hungary and abroad. He was awarded the Annie Fischer performer scholarship three times, in 2011 he picked up the Artisjus Prize for promoting contemporary Hungarian music, and in 2015 he received the Junior Prima Prize in recognition of his successes as a performer. Naturally, his repertoire also includes works by masters of the classics. All the works performed in this concert, part of the Black and White Colours season ticket series, belong to the suite genre, although their origins span a period of some three centuries. We have two modern pieces sandwiched between Bach's works dating from the 1710s: György Orbán's eight-movement piano suite, and excerpts from the suite by László Melis, who tragically died last year.
The concert is followed by CODA – which is an informal conversation with the performers.
