Brown: World owes US a debt !
The world owes a debt to the United States for its leadership in the fight against international terrorism, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said.
Arriving for his first formal talks as PM with President Bush, he said the UK's "most important bilateral relationship", was that with the US.
A foreign office minister had suggested the two countries would no longer be "joined at the hip" on foreign policy.
Talks at Camp David later are expected to include Iraq, Darfur and Kosovo.
UK Foreign Secretary David Milliband and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are expected to be at the talks, which are also likely to include world trade, climate change, the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Analysts will be looking for signs of the Brown regime distancing itself from the US during the trip.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Brown was "walking a tightrope" in his dealings with America.
He needed to reassure Mr Bush of his commitment to the Atlantic relationship as well as convince British voters that links between the US and the UK would be different to those maintained by former prime minister Tony Blair, our correspondent said.
The prime minister flew to Camp David for a private dinner with the president on Sunday night at his Maryland retreat.
He heads to Washington on Monday for cross-party talks with senate leaders and members of congress.
Earlier this month, Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch Brown said it was time for a more "impartial" foreign policy and for Britain to build relationships with European leaders.
But en route to the US, Mr Brown described himself as an "Atlanticist and a great admirer of the American sprit".
"As prime minister I want to do more to strengthen even further our relationship with the US," he said.
"It is firmly in the British national interest that we have a strong relationship with the US, our single most important bilateral relationship."
Mr Brown said the shared ideals of two centuries of history "have linked the destinies" of the two countries.
He also quoted Winston Churchill - the first British prime minister to visit Camp David - who also spoke of a "joint inheritance".
This close relationship would help in the fight against nuclear proliferation, global poverty, climate change and global terrorism, Mr Brown said.
"And we should acknowledge the debt the world owes to the United States for its leadership in this fight against international terrorism," he claimed.
He said: "They should not be leaving it to more junior ministers to create misunderstandings about the relationship with America, which is what has happened over the last few weeks.
"Our approach, the approach David Cameron and I take, is that our relationship with America should be what we call solid but not slavish and it should gain frankness without losing its closeness."
Liberal Democrat leader Menzies Campbell said three main issues should be discussed at the meeting.
"Renegotiation of the one-sided extradition treaty, the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre and a negotiated withdrawal of British forces from Iraq," he said.
"These should be the objectives of a candid friend. The excessively subordinated relationship between the president and Mr Blair should be put to bed."
But David Johnson, the deputy chief of mission at the US embassy in London, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme people were getting "a little obsessive...about the parlour game of how close people might be sitting to one another on the couch".
"It's clear to us that he [Gordon Brown] wants a strong relationship with the United States, that he is in pursuit of one," he said.

This was not Leaders' Questions as we know it – it was an unprecedented situation in the Dáil
Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil leader put Sinn Féin leader in spotlight over Cahill allegations
Thu, Oct 23, 2014, 00:30 Updated: Thu, Oct 23, 2014, 08:00
Miriam Lord
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has had angry exchanges with Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams in the Dáil following his meeting with Máiria Cahill.
Not so long ago, in a troubled place they called the Six County Statelet, decent IRA volunteers indiscriminately murdered in a futile attempt to unite the country they love. But their hearts were in the right place. And that's good enough for Gerry Adams, who is sad to see their revered names being sullied now by people who don't understand.
These IRA volunteers had so much love for Ireland they shunted their favoured perverts and paedophiles across the North's border to the rest of the country they claim to love. Oh, and they shot the ones they didn't need to protect.
Decent people. Adams – the IRA's Boswell – says he wasn't a member, yet is remarkably intimate with the organisation's inner workings; he won't hear a bad word uttered against them. As he said yesterday, these volunteers "were acting, in my opinion, in good faith" when seeking "to deal with some cases of abuse when asked to do so by families and victims".
Good faith is not how Maíria Cahill would see it. Yesterday's extraordinary session of Leaders' Questions took place right after the Taoiseach met the Belfast woman who says she was raped by an IRA man and then sworn to secrecy by senior members of that organisation who took it upon themselves to "interrogate" her over a number of months to test the validity of her claims. At one point, three of them also forced her to meet her rapist during a "kangaroo court". She says she met Gerry Adams in his office in west Belfast and told him her story. Adams, his deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald and the rest of the Sinn Féin parliamentary party accept that she was raped, but not the rest of her testimony.
Maíria Cahill hasn't deviated one bit from her version of events. The Gerry Adams/Sinn Féin version has subtly shifted from almost blanket denial to a revised state of knowledge.
Both Enda Kenny and Micheál Martin wanted to hear specific answers from Gerry Adams yesterday to questions posed by Cahill. What they got was generalised remorse and a scripted reply on doing the right thing by abused women and children, interspersed with pinpoint indignation over the wrongs being done to decent members of Sinn Féin.
When you read back over the short transcript of yesterday's extraordinary Dáil exchanges involving Enda Kenny, Micheál Martin and Gerry Adams, the words on their own go nowhere near conveying the electrifying atmosphere in the chamber.
In agreement
The Dáil did not accept the excuses of leading churchmen over their handling of abuse cases, he said, pointing out that Sinn Féin politicians were to the fore in condemning the Catholic Church when stories emerged of cover-ups over child sex abuse.
He read some of the trenchant comments made at the time by the likes of Martin McGuinness and Mary Lou McDonald.
The Taoiseach described Maíria Cahill as "a courageous, confident, brave young woman" who "overcame the horror of being raped to face down the IRA and its generals, secret or otherwise".
This was not Leaders' Questions as we know it. It was an unprecedented situation in the Dáil chamber, with the leaders of the two main parties challenging the leader of one of the biggest parties on the Irish political scene.
And they wanted to know why Gerry Adams and Sinn Féin should feel entitled not to be examined in the same way that the Church and other bodies were investigated when it emerged they ignored cases of abuse to protect their institutional reputations.
Gerry Adams was surrounded by his colleagues , with Mary Lou McDonald to his left. And they looked rattled.
When Enda Kenny questioned her "blind allegiance" to her leader, she slowly shook her head. As the session unwound and Adams rose to defend himself, his party, the IRA and "republicans" in general, you could almost feel the anger and resentment radiating from their ranks.
Adams sounded hurt and outraged almost to the point of becoming emotional.
Slur
But as he read his script and issued an all-encompassing apology for any wrongs that might have been done by IRA members (who apparently were only trying to do the decent thing by responding to requests for help from ordinary people), the look of silent disgust on the faces of most of the non-Sinn Féin TDs told its own story.
And, of course, times were different during the war. (Maíria Cahill's ordeal happened in 1997.)
"I have set out the circumstances in the North when there was no democratic civic policing service" explained Adams. What is needed now is a "victim-centred approach."
Some of comments were treated with outright derision, like when he declared: "I refute the allegations that have been made about me and about other Sinn Féin members who assure me that all they did in their engagements, conversations and work with Maíria Cahill . . ."
"Work? Ha!" snorted Fianna Fáil's Michael McGrath. But Sinn Féin – including their young political stars who are too young to know – were fuming, in full post-Vietnam vet mode. They just stopped short of shouting . "It was a war, man! You weren't there!" Most of the TDs in the chamber had read of Gerry's blog – in between teddy bear tweets and the like – at the weekend.
Community at war
And we were transported back to other difficult days, in wood-panelled rooms in big parochial houses, when troubleshooting bishops spoke of different times and how nobody really knew about abuse and now that they do, they are really, really sorry.
As for those simple questions for Adams, put to him by the Taoiseach in the Dáil, there were no straight answers. In fact, the Sinn Féin leader insisted he had already "refuted" them. Refute means to prove – he offered little proof.
And what about the alleged abusers moved south of the Border, or "sent to another parish", as Micheál Martin observed? "I don't know" he said. All he knows is that decent volunteers have been done down by "sleeveen" Enda Kenny and Micheál Martin.
And them pure as the driven truck . . . laden with explosives with an innocent man chained to the steering wheel.

Irish genetics company IndentiGEN has announced details of a new DNA testing technology which will offer it major advantages in the global marketplace. IdentiGEN has patented a new chemistry based technology which can cut the labour cost of DNA testing by 60%.
IdentiGEN is based in Dublin and offers DNA traceability services to major meat producers across the globe with offices and laboratories in Dublin, Wales, the US and Canada. The company says that the novel chemistry based approach to genotyping that it has tested and validated brings major advantages over the market leading alternatives.
IdentiGEN founder and managing director Ciaran Meghen says: "The new testing approach, for which patents have been filed, has been delivering transformational improvements in DNA sample analysis since it was put into production testing earlier this year. In particular the technology can reduce the labour cost of data scoring by more than 60%. The experience within IdentiGEN's own facilities has been a dramatic reduction in the cost of generating results."
The approach, called IdentiSNP, offers a clear alternative to the established approach and opportunities to commercialise the product are now being actively pursued on a global basis.
To support the development IdentiGEN has recruited experienced additional staff including molecular biologists and product managers.
"While this technology has transformed our internal cost base, and will support our continued growth and development in the area of animal and meat product identification in particular, the opportunity to promote our new formulation to a wider customer base is an exciting development for our business," he says.
The new genotyping chemistry has been validated on multiple instrument systems including Douglas Scientific, LGC, Fluidigm and ThermoFisher systems.
A dedicated website www.identisnp.com has been launched which provides additional information and contact details. The project has been supported by Enterprise Ireland under its Research and Development grant scheme.
IdentiGEN provides food retailers, processors and producers with the capability to identify and trace the source of meat products through the entire supply chain. The genetics company was launched as a Trinity start up company in 1996.

Quick. What do Mexican and Korean food have in common? Dog meat? No, that's not it, despite what you hear. If you were thinking of carbs, spice, beef, grilled meats and the sort, I guess you can make a compelling argument. However, let me rephrase the question - what do they have in common within the GVRD? Simple. The Roaming Dragon and Coma food trucks (and Cartel Taco). These mobile outfits have combined the 2 cuisines hoping to offering something tasty and different. Now we have another in the form of a cart with a consistent home. Ursu Korean BBQ food cart sits on the corner of Georgia and Richards (which is a bit tight for that sidewalk, I might add). If the Roaming Dragon and Coma represent modern fusion cuisine, then Ursa would be the rustic, less-refined version.
Rather than the usual younger operators found at food carts, this one features older Korean ladies serving up tacos and quesadillas. There was a small gathering when I arrived and as we were all waiting for our food, it quickly donned on me that this is not exactly "fast food". It took over 20 minutes for me to get my order. When I did get it, the ladies behind me asked for their money back sin ce they could not wait any longer. To get an idea of their offerings, I got a little of everything. I got a BBQ Chicken Soft Taco as well as a BBQ Beef Taco. In terms of a better value, I would recommend going for the soft taco since they can put more "stuff" into it. Furthermore, the soft taco was the better of the 2 in general. The problem with the hard taco was that they did not toast it first; hence it had a "stale" texture to it. Not that it was stale though, it just wasn't crispy. In terms of the meat, both were quite sweet while the chicken had some spice. For some reason or another, I found the un-m elted cheese a poor compliment to the Korean BBQ meat. Texturally, the chicken was tender while the beef was quite dry. I think the beef taco could've benefited from some type of sauce.
Also in need of some sauce was the Bulgogi Dog. Essentially replacing a taco shell with a hot dog bun, the whole thing was far too dry. The dry bun combined with the dry meat with no form of moisture whatsoever made it hard to eat. I needed water to help me swallow. As mentioned, the meat was quite sweet (which is not really that usual for Korean BBQ) and could've benefited from some contrasting flavours. Lastly, I got the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla (yes, I ate all of this). Unlike the taco, the cheese worked well with the spicy chicken meat. Since it was melted, the flavours kinda melded together. I did enjoy this since there was all the typical ingredients to a chicken quesadilla except with a Korean twist. However, I can't see many people paying $6.99 for this. That is probably why I'm not that excited about this latest Korean-Mexican fusion food cart. Personally, I would probably go with the Roaming Dragon or Coma Food Truck ahead of Ursu.
I hope the ladies take your review and use it to improve their product. It sounds like they have an interesting idea and with the proper execution they could have a successful cart. I really like to see people succeed but they are much more likely to do so if they listen and receive criticism as an opportunity for improvement rather than an insult.
I hope so too. They have an idea which is currently replicated with many other food carts. So they need to stand out.
Tried their Bulgogi Dog just now. It seems they have listened and put in more sauce. All in all, it was moist and flavourful!
@greyhairboy Thanks for the update!

Excellent internet , great kitchen and lovely views this place is spectacular. Really pleasant for children and good location to get into Clifden. Amenities are done really well and great to have a drier and washing machine. Would definitely recommend this for a family or group for a holiday.
I recommend it 100%, we stayed like at home. Nice,cosy, clean, new and really nice design. We want to thank the owner Caroline, friendly and taking care of everything. Don,t hesitate to rent it.
We've stayed in many holiday homes but this was the best. Homely, well equipped, comfortable, beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.
Loved the views of the lake and the mountains, loads of space and spotless would recommend log stoves would make it great for a winter break.
The place is located in a very nice location with view on the Atlantic. Sheila has been extremely welcoming and the cottage was in perfect condition. Only a short drive distance from astonishing spots in Connemara, you can also walk around in the beautiful area where the cottage is located.
Great weekend had in Clifden while staying in this house. Spotless and very comfy. We had the use of hotel facilities while here which was great. Already booked for next year!

View Proteins belonging to: The Gramicidin A (Gramicidin A) Channel Family
1.D.1 The Gramicidin A (Gramicidin A) Channel Family
Gramicidin A, a pentadecapeptide antibiotic, is made by Bacillus brevis and forms channels in synthetic and natural bilayers that are selective for monovalent cations such as H , Tl , NH4+ and the alkali metals. X-ray crystal structures, 15N-NMR and CD data reveal alternate structures that Gramicidin can assume. The functional channel in lipid bilayers is probably a transmembrane helical dimer. Two monomeric β-helices meet at their N-termini in the center of the membrane. Transport of ions may occur by single file transfer through the gramicidin channel. Gramicidin also forms double helical structures which consists of two hydrogen bonded β-strands that are rolled up to form double β-helicies which can span the thickness of the bilayer. Only under limited conditions do double helical forms conduct ions. Some aspects of its structure and mechanism are debatable (Andersen et al. 2005; Kelkar and Chattopadhyay 2007), and one report suggests that gramicidin may not form pores (Ashrafuzzaman et al. 2008). Gramicidin A can catalyzed phospholipid flipping from one monolayer to the other (Anglin et al. 2007). Gramicidin can passively translocate across membranes (McKay et al. 2018). An increase in the conductance and lifetime of gramicidin A channels induced by the alkaloids, benzylamines, is related to alteration in the membrane dipole potential not to decrease in membrane stiffness (Efimova et al. 2020). Membrane-mediated lateral interactions regulate the lifetime of gramicidin channels (Kondrashov et al. 2020).
Gramicidin is not synthesized by a ribosomal-dependent mechanism, and it contains six D amino acids, all leucine and valine residues. The sequence of gramicidin A is: HCO-L-Val1-Gly2-L-Ala3-D-Leu4-L-Ala5-D-Val6-L-Val7-D-Val8-L-Trp9-D-Leu10-L-Trp11-D-Leu12-L-Trp13-D-Leu14-L-Trp15-NHCH2-CH2OH. Because it is not encoded by a gene, gramicidin is not included in the databases, and no accession number is available. In contrast to valinomycin which complexes with K and shuttles across the membrane, in a ''carrier''-like process, gramicidin forms a static channel and serves as the prototype for protein-mediated channel formation across biological membranes. Gramicidin has been shown to block tumor growth and angiogenesis (David et al. 2014). Applications of pore-forming gramicidin include small- and macromolecule-sensing, targeted cancer therapy and drug delivery (Gurnev and Nestorovich 2014). Ten analogues, sharing a similar ion channel function, have different cytotoxic, hemolytic, and antibacterial activities (Takada et al. 2020).
In addition to its role as a K+ channel, gramicidin increases lipid flip-flop (lipid scrambling between the two monolayers of the bilayer) in both symmetric and asymmetric lipid vesicles (Doktorova et al. 2019). A series of glycoside-peptide conjugates were prepared by engineering at the N-terminus of gramicidin A. The conjugate containing a galactose moiety formed a unimolecular transmembrane channel and mediated ion transport to induce apoptosis of cancer cells. It exhibited liver cancer cell-targeting behavior due to galactose-asialoglycoprotein receptor recognition (Haoyang et al. 2021). Small changes to water-channel interactions alter the free energy barrier for ion permeation (Ngo et al. 2021).
The generalized reaction catalyzed by gramicidin is:
Monovalent cation (in) → Monovalent cation (out).

Learning, growing and perfecting the art of an amazing fireworks display always means they out perform other companies putting them at the forefront of the pyrotechnics industry throughout Australia.
The Aerial Pyro-Tech story began when a loophole was found in the legislation that allowed companies to sell the consumer bags of fireworks to the general public for a short time back 1998 – 1999. A friend of mine worked at a local business and a van came around selling bags of fireworks. He got two bags, one for himself and one for me. I used these fireworks for my mum's birthday. I stood them in a bucket of sand to hold them upright but one leaned over in the sand and shot between my best mate and myself.
A month later there was an advert in the local Trading Post about doing a course and getting a licence to do fireworks. In January 2000, he signed up for the course and successfully completed it. This is where Aerial Pyro-Tech was born.
Thus, he began his own company, known as Aerial Pyro-Tech. Aerial Pyro-Tech is a family owned, Brisbane based fireworks business. They have been involved in fireworks for the past 17 years and in that time have performed some truly stunning and breathtaking fireworks displays. It grew into a passion; a desire to entertain people.

Ever year in celebration of June Dairy Month we hold a Milk Mustache contest. We'll take entries throughout the spring then select three finalists in early June. We named this year's finalists yesterday.
Making the selection was very tough due to the many quality entries, but, just like good cream, these three rose to the top. Anyone who "likes" our farm's Facebook page can help us pick a winner by simply clicking "like" under the photo you think is the best. Fan voting is open through Sunday, June 13, and we'll announce our 2010 winner on the 14th.
I am new to farming (less than a year) and I am trying to connect with other farmers. I am becoming familiar with a lot of the issues farmers are facing, and I really believe we need good PR for the agriculture industry. Please come visit me!

Hiptage is a genus in the Malpighiaceae, a family of about 75 genera of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. Hiptage comprises 30 (or more) species of vines and woody shrubs growing in forests of tropical southeastern Asia from Pakistan and India to Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The genus is distinctive in its three-winged samaras; most species bear an elongated commissural gland on the calyx.

The most widely known species is Hiptage benghalensis, thought to be native from India and Sri Lanka to the Philippines; it is widely cultivated for its showy fragrant flowers, and its true native range is difficult to assess. This species often escapes from cultivation; it spreads aggressively and can become a pernicious weed.

"I believe in partial full disclosure with Gina," I reply.
I am falling. Hear me calling.
Kick the doggie. Kiss the froggie.
In the morning, I am mourning.
Time for turning, I am churning.
Take off, shake off, no more flake off.
No more back up, or your shack up.
Stop my whining. Quit the crying.
Why must I become so clean?

Missouri bills seek to shield drivers who hit protesters
Prefiled proposals seek to crack down on demonstrators, violence

Reacting to a summer marked by protests against police violence around the country, a pair of Missouri lawmakers are pushing for legislation shielding drivers from liability if they hit protesters with their cars.
State Sen.-elect Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville, is sponsoring a bill that would bar lawsuits against drivers for injuries to a person who "was blocking traffic in a public right-of-way while participating in a protest or demonstration" unless the driver's action "constitutes gross negligence."
Brattin's bill is a wide-ranging proposal that targets demonstrations in numerous other ways. It would also yank benefits from public employees convicted of unlawful assembly or rioting, withhold state funds from local governments who cut police budgets too much and impose a prison term of 5 to 15 years for vandalizing a monument on public property.
In the Missouri House, state Rep. Adam Schnelting, R-St. Charles, also wants to shield drivers who injure or kill demonstrators with their cars. His proposal, which covers both civil and criminal liability, would apply to people fleeing an "unlawful or riotous assemblage" if "the person reasonably believes he or she or any occupant of the motor vehicle is in danger."
The General Assembly convenes Jan. 6 for its annual session. Legislative staff began assigning bill numbers and publishing pre-filed bills on Dec. 1. Early filing assures a low bill number but does not give legislation a priority spot for debate.
Brattin, a former House member who is returning to Jefferson City after two years as Cass County auditor, did not respond to several messages seeking comment on his bill.
Schnelting, in an interview last week, told The Independent that he only intends to protect people unwittingly caught in a riot.
The scenario he envisions, Schnelting said, is a 20-year-old mother with two infants in the back seat caught in a violent situation where rioters are trying to break into her car.
"She has a right to flee to protect herself without being charged," he said.
Both unlawful assembly and rioting have specific definitions and penalties in state law. Schnelting said he is not trying to legalize ramming peaceful protesters with a car, even if their message is personal.
"I have been screamed at plenty of times," Schnelting said. "That doesn't mean that I am in danger."
Despite the legislators' intentions, the door opened by the bills, if they became law, is troubling, said Frank Bowman, a professor of law at the University of Missouri who specializes in criminal justice.
"Let's assume I am spooked by the Black Lives Matter demonstrators or the Proud Boys on the corner and I speed away," Bowman said. "Apparently there is no limitation on how prudent I have to be. This is basically open season on any pedestrian who happens to be within one block, two blocks, three blocks."
Missouri protests
Throughout the nation this summer, and even into the early fall, people poured into the streets following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis who died after a white police officer put his knee to Floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds as he lay prone and handcuffed.
Some protests turned violent, for a variety of reasons that ranged from instigators within the protesters to provocation by police or opportunistic criminals using cover of the crowd to loot businesses.
The scenes were not new in Missouri, which saw similar protests followed the 2014 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson and again in 2017 when former St. Louis police officer Jason Shockley was acquitted in the 2011 shooting death of Anthony Lamar Smith.
What was different this summer nationwide, and in some parts of Missouri, was the size, duration and extent of the protests.
In Kansas City, what started as confrontation calmed when police tactics changed, KCUR reported.
In St. Louis, the day of peaceful demonstration on June 1 was followed by violence that included the shooting death of a retired St. Louis police captain outside a looted pawnshop. In response, Krewson imposed an overnight curfew.
In the run-up to November's election, many Democrats focused on the grievances expressed by the crowds in the street–police brutality, institutional racism and social inequities. Republicans, playing to their base, focused on the violent incidents and called for the public to back police actions.
It is uncertain what, if any, impact the proposals to shield drivers would have had this summer in two incidents, one in St. Louis and the other in Columbia. No police reports have been made public that provide a complete account.
In St. Louis, a FedEx truck driving through a protest struck and killed Barry Perkins in the early morning hours of May 30, dragging him almost two blocks.

In Columbia, on the evening of June 1, Black Lives Matter protesters blocked one of the busiest downtown intersections. Two young women were hit when motorists unwilling to go around the protests instead drove through them. Anna Knipfel and Behonsay Williams were injured in two separate incidents about a half-hour apart.

There were other incidents as well. In one of the first St. Louis protests this summer, State Rep. Rasheen Aldridge, D-St. Louis, said people were in the Target parking lot in Brentwood. They weren't disrupting traffic, but a truck drove through the crowd. The driver later circled back and shot a gun out of the window, Aldridge said.
No one was injured.
"You're trying to criminalize individuals who are taking to the streets, but then embracing another behavior of saying 'it's okay, if you see people in the streets, just run them over,'" Aldridge said.
Schnelting said his proposal is tied to the definitions of unlawful assembly and rioting in state law, both of which require at least six people to gather for the purpose of breaking the law using force or violence.
"I want to keep it narrow," he said. "I have no intention of expanding that."
Other proposals
The provisions that would shield motorists aren't the only ideas put forward by lawmakers inspired by the summer protests.
A handful, proposed by minority Democrats, would do things like ban or limit chokeholds and make it easier for law enforcement agencies to obtain records of misconduct by job applicants.
Meanwhile, Republicans have filed bills creating new crimes against police or shielding their personal information from disclosure in public records like property tax rolls.
State Rep. Sara Walsh, R-Ashland, filed a bill making it a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail for directing the light from a laser pointer at a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical worker or other uniformed officer.
Walsh could not be reached for comment on her bill.
Bowman said the bill would criminalize often innocent behavior. It requires "no proof of a mental state requiring an intent to cause harm," he noted. "The mental state is only an intention to direct the laser pointer at the person."
The use of laser pointers by protesters was first noted among democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong, who used the powerful lights to disrupt cameras and facial recognition devices used by authorities.

Schnelting, like Brattin, also wants to limit benefits available to people convicted of breaking the law at protests.
He's sponsoring a bill to deny unemployment payments for 18 months to anyone convicted of rioting. The provision in Brattin's bill would apply only to public employees, taking away health, disability, retirement and other benefits for any state or local government employee convicted of unlawful assembly or rioting.
The aim is to deter violence, Schelting said, not protest.
"Protesting is a uniquely American thing to do," he said. "Rioting on the other hand is much worse."
Aldridge, however, said the bill unfairly targets the poor.
"You're basically telling me that there's going to be an extra penalty if you're poor, and don't have a job," he said. "But if you're a rich person and do something like this and have a job, you're not going to get that penalty."
The idea behind the proposal is not new, Bowman said. The law is filled with provisions that are "collateral consequences of conviction," such as losing the right to own a firearm after a felony conviction.
"To the extent anybody cares, the overwhelming consensus among criminologists and criminal law scholars is that these kinds of collateral consequences are almost invariably a lousy idea," he said.
And whether either would be applied to anyone is questionable. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's office received two referrals from law enforcement for rioting charges in the past 12 months and declined to file on either defendant, according to Chris King, spokesman for the office.
Brattin's bill creates new causes of action for civil suits, allows the use of lethal force to protect property by private individuals designated to protect it, denies bail to people convicted of crimes related to demonstrations and creates new crimes for use against protesters.
In civil court, Brattin would allow people to sue their local governments for "gross neglect" in protecting property. Defacing publicly owned monuments or public buildings would be a Class B felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison under one provision of the bill.
And among the new crimes it creates is a felony for unlawful traffic interference.
In March, a federal judge ruled that the St. Louis ordinance on "impeding" traffic was unconstitutional — throwing out a law that city police have used to justify arresting, macing and tasing citizens during Ferguson and Stockley verdict protests.
U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey found that the municipal ordinance entitled was unconstitutional because it was too vague and didn't include a free-speech exception.
In his opinion, Autrey wrote that the ordinance could apply to "two neighbors who stand and converse in a residential street, or to persons gathering for a neighborhood block party. It applies to a single person or group of persons standing on a sidewalk waiting for an Uber to arrive."
Javad Khazaeli, civil rights attorney at Khazaeli Wyrsch, said the federal case provides the reasoning to why the proposed shield is unconstitutional.
"This is written that if somebody sees a protest that they don't like, especially if it's blocking traffic, that person can just drive through the protest and kill as many people as they want," he said. "And then just afterwards (say), 'Oops, I felt I was afraid.' And then you fight over what is a reasonable assembly and that's insane."

As Spring approaches lots of activities are coming to an end. School, athletics, afternoon activities. It's a great time to tell those we appreciation just how much. Gift cards are a much loved and easy gift to give, but why not dress it up a bit. While purchasing a few gift cards at my favorite coffee shop, I asked for a few empty cups, they were more than happy to oblige.
With ribbon from a craft stash I added a simple bow to our free printable Thanks a Latte tag. I filled the cup with crinkle paper and put the gift card inside and attached the tag with double stick tape to the outside of the cup.

Tonight is the first time Damon has left us other than to do unavoidable errands. His Ellis boss asked him and their stage manager to dinner to thank them and to brainstorm ways to improve the next season. I assured him that we would be just fine and sent him out to enjoy himself. I wonder if he will enjoy. I would find it very hard to be away right now.
But Alden and I are doing great, provided I am willing to sit lotus-style on the couch and alternate between nursing and holding him while he sleeps. I guess it's good that I get a little variety. The sleeping part is pretty entertaining. He makes a noise like a far-away rusty gate when he's sleeping deeply and he treats me to at least a few Moro flails each nap. That never gets old.
Right now little monsieur prefers to nurse for about 10 minutes at about 90 minute intervals — around the clock. There's some variation, but that's the general drill. My back is sore and I won't even get started on my more tender bits. But I'll get to weigh him on Thursday and if he's gaining well then I'm going to count my blessings and wait him out. He will start spacing out these feedings. Right? Right?
I'm watching Running With Scissors while I type. It's not brilliant, but I'm enjoying. Didn't this movie get awful reviews? I don't see myself hassling friends to rent it, but I don't see what's so bad either.
10 minutes every hour and a half? Not too bad. Yes, he'll space it out some.
He punished me for complaining. The night I wrote that post he bumped it up to five minutes of nursing every half hour. Fortunately he was satisfied I'd learned my lesson and went back to his 90-minute schedule the next morning.
Congratulations on the Baby! Alden is a great name! My brother & sis-in-law are expecting a boy in March…I'll be an aunt for the first time.
I didn't like Running with Scissors…I think I was expecting it to be funnier than it was…more Amy or David Sedaris. I may also have been in a funk at the time, which didn't help.
But oh am I happy for you and Damon!
And I absolutely agree that Running With Scissors is not as funny as either Sedaris.
I remember when Sweetness was two months old watching 'The Pianist (the two and a half hour Adrien Brody movie) in its entirety while she was sleeping on my chest. I think had escaped for the evening.
By the time the movie was over, I was desperate to go to the bathroom, but I didn't want to risk waking the little one. The eternal struggle.
Yes, it'll space out–but probably after a couple of upcoming growth spurts (about two weeks, four weeks, six weeks) where he nurses ALL the time. 🙂 He'll get very efficient, too, and you'll see a definite difference between comfort nursing and nutritive nursing. Ninety minutes apart is pretty good for this age. If he's wetting and pooping a lot, you're good. Ezra goes as long as five hours when he is busy, but if he's crabby or bored sometimes he'll nurse, play, and come back to nurse twenty minutes later.
What I read about why people didn't like that movie was that none of the characters were remotely likable. It's less the quality of the film and more the quality of the people involved.
Good to hear. He's definitely growing. That or the newborn diapers are shrinking. I kind of hope it's the latter because I'm not ready to give up teeny Alden yet.
I'm trying to hold back, but suspect I will fail progressively.
I know I'm clamoring! I need to take two minutes and teach myself how to do a LJ cut and then we'll be off and running.
He'll NEVER space the nursing out. You're doomed! DOOMED TO HAVE THAT CHILD HANGING ON YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
Ah, I'm kiddin'. Eventually, he'll let you get up to use the restroom.
You're going to have to ask Master Alden what his plans are.
He is inscrutable. One of us is clearly more accomplished at manipulating the situation, and I'm sad to say it's not ever me.
You might better start stockpiling tens and twenties for when he gets old enough to bribe.


Parents, educators and doctors of teens need to be aware of the latest synthetic drug to hit the streets of America: 2C – I or "Smiles". 2C – I is a short-acting synthetic psychedelic with relatively little human use experience.
The "2C" group is a class of potent psychedelic synthetics and the high has been described by users as a combination between ecstasy and LSD. The drug is available in powder, liquid and tablet forms.
There are multiple poison center reports of adverse effects and overdoses in North Dakota, Indiana and Minnesota. Due to its drug class and potency, adverse effects of 2C – I have included fast heart rates, high blood pressure, seizures, and strokes; and the drug is suspected in two teen deaths in North Dakota.
The drug 2C – I has been classified as a Schedule I substance by the DEA, which makes it illegal to possess and sell. However, it may still be available illicitly and the drug's structure may have been altered to get around legal prohibition with unpredictable effects. There are currently no rapid tests to detect 2C – I in the body and, like other synthetic and illicitly manufactured and marketed drugs, the actual composition of the product and its effects and side-effects, both short and long-term, are usually unknown.
If synthetic drug abuse is suspected, please call the New Mexico Poison Center for treatment advice: 1-800-222-1222. If the victim is having seizures, is unconscious or having trouble breathing, call 911 immediately.

What makes this wine spritzer special is a shot of homemade strawberry-infused vodka. Tip it to your nose and it smells so very much like strawberry pie you may be tempted to sip straight from the jar — and if you do, it tastes wonderful, like sweet, perfectly ripe, boozy strawberries. In the spritzer, it blends with the rosé and basil beautifully, creating a drink that's lightly sweet, very aromatic, and so perfect for early spring.
It's a very pretty drink, too. The rosé and the strawberries give it a deep pink blush, and we love to see the basil and crushed strawberries swirling around in the ice. We've served it at baby showers and book clubs with great success, but it would also be fantastic for a Friday night happy hour on the patio.
Our tip: The vodka needs to sit for up to a full week, so this is a plan ahead project! But once you have the vodka, you can make all kinds of cocktails with it, from tipsy lemonade to vodka tonics and grown-up strawberry milkshakes. And if you prefer white wine — or it's what you happen to have around the house — it will also work perfectly in this cocktail.
Muddle the sugar, strawberries, and basil leaves in a Collins glass.
Add the ice and remaining ingredients.
Drop sliced strawberries into a bottle or glass container. Add Tito's Handmade Vodka.
Let sit in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days, or until it's as infused as you like it.
Remove the fruit and store in an airtight container.

How is CFA's work important to you?
CFA is doing great work in a lot of areas, but why I think it's important is that it provides a broad and independent holistic set of tools that address the challenges of our state. Defined by Arizonans' priorities and their broad agenda, we can be holistic and help communities identify their challenges before introducing possible solutions. In our ongoing work with The Arizona We Want; we will define our state's agenda of key priorities. Nobody else can do that.
What do you love about Arizona?
The diversity of its people and the diversity of its landscapes. It's amazing that you can go two hours from our Sonoran Desert in Arizona and get to tundra on Mt. Humphrey's, the great forests of ponderosa pine around Flagstaff, and even the Sky Islands in southeastern Arizona. It's an incredible state that has so much opportunity.
What's your story? What was your path to CFA?
I'm an urban planner. I've been planning since I graduated from Arizona State University in 2004. I would have never dreamed that being a planner could open up so many different opportunities to work in so many different arenas. My path has gone from something more focused to something and overarching over the course of my career. Though my career path began in the public sector with a nice foundation of growth and development regulation, I quickly came to realize that people and communities are connected very closely to the environment as they rely on natural resources to support urban living. Over the past ten years, I have been given the opportunity to connect the environment and the community through work in the non-profit sector. At CFA, I can integrate all of this into tools and resources that support a holistic vision of the state and empower local decision-making to address our challenges.
How does your work impact CFA?
My work impacts the organization in three main ways. First, it allows us to measure our work and our impact statewide and in local communities. Second, my work allows partners in communities to align themselves with a common agenda and to work together to identify priorities and track progress as they implement solutions. Third, it allows us to break down silos surrounding key topics in recognizing connections between them. I believe the real solutions to our big challenges often involve bridging across topics, building more effective coalitions, and finding broader impact.
When did you first consider Arizona home to you?
Like two thirds of Arizonans, I came from somewhere else. I was born in Montana and moved when I was 9 years old. Coming from Missoula to Maryvale in West Phoenix, it was a different community demographically and geographically but I learned quickly to embrace diversity and to feel at home.
How do you hope to impact Arizona through your work at CFA?
From my experience working in planning and environmental issues, it's hard to motivate the leadership you need to catalyze action without the support of solid facts. I believe the Progress Meters and our other tools allow communities to rally around a few key priorities and require progress to me made, in-part because they are being measured. I'd like to see key metrics in all our Progress Meters move in a positive direction over the next 5 to 10 years and see communities empowered to address their challenges.


Welcome to Patchmanager 2.0 testing!
No more settings menu entries: patch settings will be opened from Patchmanager.
Developer mode option is to (try to) install patch to incompatible SailfishOS version.
Should be handy after new sfos version released.
Menu entry to unapply all patches.
Patchmanager allows you to apply patches: tweaks for Sailfish OS that might modify the user experience in order to enhance it, or personnalize it.
See this TMO thread for more information.
[root@Sailfish nemo]# systemctl status -l dbus-org.
(cannot open shared object file): ignored.' about a hundred times, and also one time here and there after certain commands.
Thanks - output was about 3 million lines, so I started looking into options to filter, (from... To..., etc.), and send to file, etc., then I thought it might be easier to just look into wiping/repairing files, etc., so I eventually got functionality back. Working again now... I'll see if it happens again. Would be nice to know what caused it.
Hi, where can I find the "patch" that is required by ausmt (which is required by patchmanager)? Cannot make patches work for me otherwise.
I am not too experienced in tweaking Jolla, so I cannot say how to find "patch" on that page. Is it embedded into one of the ausmt packages? I still cannot find "patch"? Ausmt-1.3.0 is the one I am having now. At least trying to install that produced an error "patch is needed by ausmt-...".
use Storeman to install from Openrepos. And always refresh repositories before doing anything.
EDIT1 - fixed now. Some patches still displayed in red (means not compatible with current OS release I guess). 'catalogue web' in Patchmanager 2.0 unresponsive. Just wait?
EDIT2 - 'Catalogue Web' now working, some patches still appear in red.
An update is obviously badly needed at this point. Has the project been abandoned?
Do you have any problem with it?
The restart services function not working is a bit annoying but other then that I haven't expericened any other problems with it.
That function also doesn't work on Jolla C 2.1.2.3 .
Hi, the "restart preloaded services" function is not working in "Sailfis X" v2.1.3.5 .
Hi. If I install Patchmanager 2.0 on Xperia X(2.1.1.26) all Sailfish-default icons are missing. But Patchmanager itself is working fine.
If someone else runs into this, you can get it back by reinstall the theme icons..
The newest compatibility version available when uploading or editing a patch is 2.1.1.24, but the latest version of SFOS is 2.1.1.26 so the patch manager doesn't let me install a patch that I know will work.
Saw that it's fixed now. Thanks!
Can you update also the 2.1.1.24 build for i486 please?
I can't activate Return Old Pulley Menu patch with SFOS 2.1.1.23 installed though the web catalogue lists it as compatible.
'Restart preloaded services' doesn't restart homescreen on Jamsanjoki, is this version of PM not ready yet for Jamsanjoki?
2 months have passed since your comment, is there a fix in the making or have you abandoned Patchmanager 2.0?
Still here on last update.
I have also updated my other Jolla1, but the same problem exists.
I upgraded from patchmanager to patchmanager 2.0 today, and I could not find the icon to start the patchmanager 2.0 anymore. That's because it's within the Settings app now. Just a note for others, who are also searching for the icon :-) A big Thanks to you, coderus.

Home Design & Development Programming The Benefits of Game Art Outsourcing
The Benefits of Game Art Outsourcing
The game art design is a highly specialized aspect of the game development process, calling for a professional team of graphic artists. It's no surprise that game art outsourcing is getting especially popular today. In contrast to hiring in-house game artists, partnering with an external team with expertise relevant to your project requirements often makes more sense. And not only that — game art outsourcing has even more benefits to offer.
What is game art design?
In a nutshell, game art design is the process of creating the artistic aspects of a game. The game art design process starts in the pre-production phase of game development when visual artists or game designers do rough sketches of the setting and characters. After the sketches are ready, game art specialists get down to developing graphic designs.
What is the typical composition of a game art design team?
Creating game art design involves several roles responsible for creating characters, objects, textures, settings, and animation. The number of roles depends on the type of game. For instance, a typical team of 2D artists will commonly include the following roles:
interface artist
storyboarder
texture artist
sprite artist
background modeler
Things are a bit different if we speak about a 3D team:
environmental artist
lighting artist
How is game development outsourcing different from game art outsourcing?
While game development is an end-to-end process that suggests turnkey product development, game art design is just a part of it. Consequently, outsourcing game art means delegating only the creation of the visual aspect of your game.
What are the benefits of game art outsourcing?
In essence, outsourcing is the practice of hiring specialists outside a company to deliver services that can be performed in-house by the company's own staff. Hiring external game art experts is mainly viewed as a cost-effective solution; however, the benefits game art outsourcing offers go far beyond that.
Access to the global talent pool
With game art outsourcing, the success of your product won't be affected by the domestic talent shortage. Outsourcing gives you immediate access to a virtually unlimited talent pool and allows you to fill the skill gap without sacrificing quality. The narrow, specialist skill sets enable companies to accelerate game development, cut down on time-to-market, and provide their users with high-quality, engaging products.
Producing unique designs
Let's face the truth: when you produce multiple game art designs with the same in-house artists, there are high chances of ending up with similar visuals. This can result in releasing a bunch of nearly identical games, putting you at risk of losing user engagement and failing to embrace new audiences. This is where game art outsourcing comes to save the day.
Outsourcing allows you to tap into the massive potential of the plethora of creative artists from around the globe. As a result, you get a unique product spiced up with a fresh vision to deliver rewarding experiences for modern users who never stop craving something new.
Cost-efficiency
As already mentioned, outsourcing is your best option if you seek to decrease your expenditures. Moreover, it allows you to slash costs without compromising quality. For starters, the most popular game art outsourcing destinations are renowned for lower rates and still delivering superior services. Plus, when you outsource your game art job, there's no need to keep your game artists in the office, which significantly reduces your overhead costs.
When you hire in-house game artists, you need to go through the lengthy process of interviewing, screening, and training the candidates. It's rather time-consuming and slows down the whole game development process. On the other hand, partnering with an outsourcing company means getting skilled game artists with relevant expertise literally right away, skipping the lengthy recruitment process.
Scaling your team's skills
Even if you already have an in-house team of game art experts, you might be interested in outsourcing the game art job to external artists for projects that require a more significant number of people involved. Game art outsourcing allows you to scale your internal team's skills and costs up and down as needed.
Developing complex products can place your in-house team under considerable pressure that will likely affect the project's outcomes. Meanwhile, outsourcing the game art services can remove this load, securing better results and minimizing the risks of product failure. Even if the outsourced team fails to produce the desired outcomes, there's always a plethora of other options in the market.
Timely release
Working to stressful release schedules often results in resource crunch and costly mistakes for internal teams. In contrast, most outsourcing game artists have adopted an iterative approach when the project is split into phases. This approach allows the artists to accurately assess the progress and make adjustments along the way, giving them more room for risk management and multiplying their chances of meeting deadlines.
Combining the best possible resources to get a genuinely successful final product is imperative. The artistic aspect of the game is crucial for attracting new audiences and keeping your existing fans engaged. So while you might have an in-house team of top-notch developers, partnering with an external game art studio will allow you to come up with a perfect product.
In addition, game art outsourcing is associated with a range of substantial benefits. It allows you to tap into the massive potential of the global talent pool and partner with the top visual artists. Apart from this, you'll save a lot of time while you won't need to recruit and train your game art team — these are the responsibilities of the outsourcing company.
Last but not least, outsourcing your game art inevitably translates into reduced costs. The rates are generally lower in the most popular outsourcing game art locations, and you don't need to spend on overhead and training. In fact, the services offered by https://wallawallastudio.com can be employed for your game art outsourcing needs.

A 25-year-old girl using the netname "laohe" recently organized a creative blind date fair in Beijing where attendees searched for their ideal partners by checking each others' online shopping history. Laohe believes that the lists, compared to WeChat or microblog accounts, are much closer to people's real lives, since many people fake their interests or lie about their lives online, but few would go to the trouble of faking their shopping history. The lists truly reveal the owner's hobbies, interests, habits and even personality. According to e-commerce shopping giant Taobao, one of the fair's sponsors, the fair successfully connected 27 couples, nine of whom have decided to continue the relationship. Netizens agreed that such blind dates are at least much more reliable than the common practice in China of parents gathering at a park and hawking around their children's resumes and photos.


Michael does not promise investment returns, rather he focuses on planning for the achievement of client financial goals.
Investors typically seek to have a moderately conservative allocation, and desire that their portfolios stay ahead of inflation over the long term.
When talking about portfolios and investing strategy, two of the main topics discussed are portfolio design and asset allocation. A moderately conservative allocation could nominally be described as 50% in equity investments and 50% in cash and bonds (that is, a 50/50 allocation).
Note: Other investment asset sectors exist, of course, but this is the basic portfolio allocation nomenclature.
Into which investments should money be placed to generate a decent portfolio return? The answer is, in part, dependent on what investment returns the market is offering at a given point in time.
Investment returns for cash and bonds have been very low for several years, and it appears they will remain low for the near future.
Investment returns for domestic equities were generally very good from 2010 through 2014, rebounding from the 2008-09 Fiscal Crisis to the current historically high price levels.
1. Upward Trending Equity Market.
2. Downward Trending Equity Market.
3. Sideways Range-bound Equity Market.
In an Upward Trending environment, decent investments options are generally readily available.
In both Sideways Trending and Downward Trending market environments, investments that have a substantial income component improve the odds of receiving a positive, desirable investment return.
In general across all market environments, dividends have been responsible for about 50% of the equity investment returns over the last 100 years.
In Sideways Trending and Downward Trending market environments, dividends have been responsible for over 75% of investment returns.
With this in mind, my client portfolios target investments with relatively high dividends.
Investments in several sectors with medium-to-high dividend yields can be targeted for purchase in the current investment climate. Additionally, certain income-oriented investments produce non-taxable income, or tax-advantaged income when held in taxable accounts, which can be used to lower one's tax bill.
In some cases, income-oriented investments can experience relatively high price volatility due to market conditions. From time to time, the prices of certain investments will drop below their recent/customary price level (such as in an equity Bear market).
Such volatility is a fact of life. Rather than trying to avoid it, investors can advantage of volatility by purchasing additional shares when they are "On Sale".
When an investment's price rises back to (or above) its recent/customary price level, investors will own a higher quantity of income-producing shares. This is the concept of Dollar Cost Averaging, which works especially well with income-producing investments.
Not all investments experience price declines at the same time. Thus, strategic shifting between investments in a portfolio can also be a productive strategy.
Shares of an investment which has had a price increase over the original purchase price can be sold, and the proceeds used to buy shares of a different investment which has experienced a price decline.
Sell high, Buy low; Repeat.
Portfolios can be structured to have an overall dividend yield of 7% to 8%, for example. Regardless of share price fluctuations, steady income can be deposited into one's account, month after month, which is very satisfying.
In contrast, typical portfolios have a dividend yield of 2.5% to 3%. Thus, my client portfolios have an income yield that is more than double that of other portfolios.
My goal is to create portfolios for clients which produce a long-term investment return higher than they would obtain by investing on their own. If successful, there would be no net cost to my clients for utilizing my services.
Michael is not taking on new client work at the present time. He apologizes for his current lack of availability.

Q: How do I give my windows service admin rights I have a winform that allows me to enable and disable all my 8 year old's network adapters using this code:
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
        //start timer
        SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_NetworkAdapter","NetConnectionStatus=2");
        ManagementObjectSearcher search = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
        foreach (ManagementObject result in search.Get())
        {
            NetworkAdapter adapter = new NetworkAdapter(result);

            adapter.Disable();
            enabled = false;

        }

        InternetCheckTimer.Start();
    }

This code works fine on a win form assuming I am running with admin. I have never written a win service before so the problem might be else where, I am able to install using installutill and attach the debugger to the process, however no break points are hit. I have tried starting and stopping the process and cannot get the debugger to attach so I might be doing that wrong as well... Right now I am assuming that the code is running and I am too stupid to get the debugger working. That said, I think my code requires the service to have admin like the form did in order to work.
Sorry if this is unclear, I will do my best to clear it up if you need more information.

A: Use user and password for the service, and assure that the user that start the service has all rights needed for the application to run.
An other possibility if you can control the service is to use impersonation, see: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4051/Windows-Impersonation-using-C.

A: You can try couple of options.

*

*Add app.manifest

*After installing window service set the service permission to run at Highest Privilege and also you can set the user name and password for the logged in user.

A: How to Get Full Administrator Rights in Windows 7:

*

*Click Start

*Click Computer (you might also find this icon on the desktop).

*Right click on the Hard Disk icon where your OS is installed on and click Properties.

*Click the Security tab.

*Click the Advanced tab.

*Click the Change Permissions button located after the Permission Entries list.

*A new window will appear on your screen; which contains a list of all the User Accounts

*Select the user account you want to give total control over your Windows 7) and click the Edit button.

*Now, tick the checkbox labeled "Total Control" and press OK.

You're all done!
