George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D.
I was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Public Administration from the faculty of FAU during its May commencement in 2001. Since I had been a city manager in four major cities for thirty years and at the time I entered the program, planned on remaining in that profession, my efforts to achieve the Ph.D. were not for employment reasons but solely for personal enrichment and a passionate desire to expand my knowledge of Public Administration theory.
Today, I am the the sixth president of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and although I did not pursue the Ph.D. for employment reasons, acquiring the doctoral degree has enabled me to enter the classroom and teach students at a doctoral research university (NSU), combining my knowledge of public administration theory with practical experiences of administering large municipal organizations.
To me, the Ph.D. program has been one my most rewarding investments that has never diminished and continues to provide enriching dividends.

Leslie Taylor, Ph.D.
leslie_taylor@sheriff.org
Research and Development Coordinator
Broward Sheriff's Office
I graduated from Florida Atlantic University's (FAU) School of Public Administration with a Ph.D. in Public Administration in 2007 specializing in policy and planning. I was a BSO/FAU Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Organizational Development and Accreditation (ODA) at the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) from 2002 to 2003. Prior to completing the doctoral program, I joined BSO as a Research and Development Coordinator in the Staff Services Division. In this capacity, I perform professional supervisory administrative work in the coordination and administration of various activities, programs, and projects for the research, planning and development initiatives of the Sheriff's Office. Some of these include developing strategic plans, evaluating various project activities, analyzing crime and survey data and coordinating assigned projects. I also coordinate and manage the planning, development, and production of various policy and research papers on public safety issues that impact BSO. I have ten years combined experience conducting research and statistical analysis in public policy issues and several years experience planning and coordinating projects in the public sector.
I have always seen my role as trying to bridge the gap between theory and practice. I believe that theory and research should inform practice but at the same time, the PA discipline still has a lot to learn from the field. The Public Administration doctoral program at FAU has provided me with the theoretical and research foundation to continue to contribute to the discipline by being involved in various academic activities (presentations at ASPA, SECOPA conferences, publications, teaching) and a unique opportunity to develop advanced skills to change practice. Some would call me a "pracademic" so I consider myself to have the best of both worlds.
One of my main interests outside of my work is teaching and I credit the FAU Public Administration doctoral program for helping to strengthen my teaching skills as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA). Teaching has always been rewarding for me and my primary goal is to have a positive impact on the students' professional career. I have instructed several public administration and policy courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels at FAU and currently teach social science courses at Broward College in Fort Lauderdale. I also teach an executive leadership and critical issues course in the Executive Leadership Program at BSO. My areas of teaching interests are in public policy, public budgeting and finance, program evaluation, and strategic planning; and my research agenda focuses on regional policy and planning, emergency management and state and local government planning. I am a member of the American Society of Public Administration (ASPA), Pi Alpha Alpha, the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA), and the International Association of Law Enforcement Planners (IALEP). I am also a member of the Broward Sheriff's Office/Nova Southeastern University Board of Advisors and the Coordinating Council of Broward (CCB) Quality of Life Committee.
My immediate goal is to continue to enhance my effectiveness as a practitioner, researcher, and a teacher by keeping up with developments in the discipline. It is difficult to predict the future but I someday would like to do applied research in a university-based think tank and intend to teach until I am no longer physically able to do it.

As I mentioned last month, the celebration of Purdue's 150th anniversary starts at Homecoming on September 22. The theme for this year-long celebration is "Giant Leaps" in honor of Purdue alumnus Neil Armstrong's famous quote, "One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" when he took his first step on the moon nearly 50 years ago. Now, we strive to make giant leaps to solve the world's greatest challenges.
The Giant Leaps themes include Space Exploration, Artificial Intelligence, Health and Longevity, and Sustainable Economy and Planet. Agriculture faculty, students and staff have been working in all four of these areas for a long time, and will continue to make giant leaps in many of them. I plan to use the next 12 months here in my InFocus messages to explore areas where we are making leaps in teaching, research and Extension that fit with these themes. I think you will see that we have a diverse college committed to excellence and innovation across many different areas, which allows us to use different tools and technologies to make a global impact.
To be on the cutting edge of innovation means that we must continue to bring disciplines together across colleges to leverage strengths. This month, I will focus on the Giant Leap: Health and Longevity category. While our college is doing great cancer research that I will talk about in the future, this month I am focusing on Extension work in Health and Longevity—a very timely topic.
Farmers and rural communities are facing many pressures, from the difficult farm economy to the epidemic of opioid abuse. Extension educators and programs work to intervene early, when prevention can save money and, more importantly, save families. Educators in Health and Human Sciences and Agriculture collaborate on many of these programs. One example is the Strengthening Families Program that works to help reduce the levels of substance abuse among young people, increase their ability to resist peer pressure, and prevent conduct problems in school. The program helps parents build a positive relationship with their children—setting appropriate limits and following through on consequences while showing love and support. This vital program, which started in Ohio, is ranked #1 by the World Health Organization and every $1 spent returns $9.60 to the community.
In addition to our partnership with HHS on the opioid crisis, Purdue Extension is also helping Hoosiers deal with mental health issues. According to the CDC, farming has one of the highest suicide rates among all US occupations. Purdue Extension developed and delivers the Mental Health First Aid Program that is training people to be aware of the symptoms of mental health issues and educating them on how to deal with emergencies. These are two programs among many that illustrate how Purdue Extension is taking Giant Leaps in health and longevity through service to our communities.
The Graduate Research Spotlight highlights graduate students and their work. The September spotlight is on Rishi Drolia, Food Science.
The undergraduate program in Agricultural and Biological Engineering has been ranked the top such specialty program in the country by U.S. News & World Report for the eighth consecutive year.
The College of Agriculture is committed to policies and practices that assure that race, ethnicity and gender are not barriers to success. All Purdue Agriculture faculty and staff members are required to receive training in civil rights (the regulations), diversity awareness or sexual harassment each year. Rather than mandate a specific training, we ask that you attend any training that fits your needs and interests and enhances your knowledge and understanding of diversity, civil rights or sexual harassment. Please use our Qualtrics survey tool to report training activities.
Nominations are being accepted for the College of Agriculture's Distinguished Agriculture Alumni Award recognizing mid-career alumni of the College of Agriculture who have a record of outstanding accomplishments, have made significant contributions to their profession or society in general and exhibit high potential for professional growth. Nomination deadline is September 24. Nominations are also open for the Purdue Ag Alumni Association's Certificate of Distinction, which recognizes significant contributions to agriculture, forestry or natural resources through professional accomplishments, activity in professional organizations, community service work, and other activities.
The position description is posted at the link below. Please distribute the position description to interested parties and send the names of people you would like the search committee to encourage to apply to Becky Rice (rdr@purdue.edu).
Purdue fans and beer enthusiasts will celebrate this weekend as the university, in collaboration with People's Brewing Co., rolls out Boiler Black beer, the second Purdue-branded beer born out of a partnership between the Food Science department and Lafayette-based People's Brewing Company. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Boiler Black will support the department's new fermentation sciences program.
Bruce Erickson, Agronomy, has received the Teaching and Learning Award from the Indiana Council for Continuing Education for his work in the design and delivery of the Agronomy Essentials course.
Haley Oliver, Food Science, has been selected to deliver the 2018 Justin Smith Morrill Lecture during the APLU Annual Meeting opening session in November. She will also be presented with the 2018 Justin Smith Morrill Award.
Expanding technologies that can improve and save millions of lives will be the focus of Purdue University's Scale Up Conference on Sept. 25-27, the first of its kind in North America. The conference will showcase efforts from around the world that ensure that discoveries and innovations gained from research can quickly benefit the maximum number of people living in developing countries.
Professionals from across the agri-food industry will come together to gain industry and business insights and to explore research related to the changing marketplace at the 2018 National Conference for Food and Agribusinesses, hosted by the Center for Food andAgricultural Business, Nov. 6-7.
An analysis done by agricultural economics experts Wally Tyner and Larry DeBoer, with doctoral student Alison Grant, says Indiana could reap nearly $12 billion in present value of net economic benefits over a 20-year period if an investment were made to extend broadband internet into the state's rural areas.
Purdue University-based Adipo Therapeutics LLC received a Small Business Innovative Research grant to support technology aimed at converting bad fat to good fat. The company was founded by Meng Deng, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, building on his collaboration with Shihuan Kuang, Animal Sciences.
Purdue Extension is offering produce food safety training sessions at locations throughout Indiana throughout the fall to help farms and growers learn the basics of food safety and assist in establishing safety programs for their operations.
The Indianapolis Business Journal says credit for the rise of Indiana's wine industry belongs to the Purdue Wine Grape Team. Over the last two decades, this four-person cadre of experts has been instrumental both in husbanding the local winemaking industry and in raising its profile nationwide.
Warming temperatures and changes to Indiana's precipitation patterns will challenge some of the plants and animals that depend on the state's water for their survival, according to a report from the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment.
Purdue Extension is hosting a series of free workshops to help farmers, educators and researchers with projects related to sustainable agriculture get the funding to turn their ideas into reality. Funds are available through the USDA's North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) grant program.
Agricultural producer sentiment increased modestly in August after dipping sharply in July, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer reading. The barometer, which is based on a monthly survey of 400 agricultural producers from across the country, had an August reading higher than July but still well below readings from May and June.
September 22: Homecoming Tailgate, Memorial Mall, 9-11 a.m.
October 12: Agricultural Research Award seminar, Maria Sepúlveda, 3:00 pm, PFEN 241. Reception follows at 4:00 pm.
Purdue University has been awarded $70 million to lead a consortium that will support the United States Agency for International Development by co-creating research solutions to fight poverty in developing countries.
Purdue ranks fourth best in the nation for Best Value institutions in the United States, based on a survey released September 5 by The Wall Street Journal and Times Higher Education.
The Innovative Learning Team will bring together Purdue's Center for Instructional Excellence, Purdue Online Learning (formerly Digital Education) and ITaP Teaching and Learning Technologies to serve as the University's central resource for all modalities including online, hybrid, and face-to-face teaching and learning projects.
With the arrival of its biggest entering class ever, Purdue University's overall enrollment has reached its highest all-time level. Total enrollment of 43,411 at Purdue's West Lafayette campus set a new record, with a growth of 1,838 students over last year, and includes 32,672 undergraduates.


On a recent Shopping trip to Houston I found myself inside Lush. I was on the hunt for the infamous Mask of Magnaminty that my sister lucky scooped up on a different day. I was not so fortunate but I did come out with these great goodies.
Lush Valentines Special Love Locket Bath Bomb- This this is HUGE! you can break it up into 3 baths or go all out on one luxy bath. Inside the locket is a tiny heart bath bomb of its own. Smells of jasmine and vanilla. Cant wait to try it. Ive already broken mine apart to share with my sister. Aren't I the sweetest?
Started with a Kiss Lip Tint- This tint smells like fancy chocolate covered apples and leaves a deep red lip stain to match. Long wearing and moisturizing. Great for on the go girls who want a noticeable pout.
R&B Hair Moisturizer-With ingredients of organic avocado butter, oatmeal, olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, jojoba oil and candelilla wax this hair treatment packs in supreme moisture. This is great for us curly haired girls. I apply a quarter size amount all over my wet hair, focusing more on the ends. Gives structure and slight hold to my natural curls. Very pleased with the product and the scent is tolerable. I don't notice it after I apply perfume.
Butterball Bath Bomb- I cant wait to try out this little fizzer. I'm all about moisturizing and this bath bomb promises to deliver ultimate hydration to dry skin. I'll get back to you on this one.
Oatifix Fresh Face Mask- This stuff smells like an oatmeal cream pie on your face. You'll be tempted for a taste. I held off but Blitz, my dog, took a lick. He didn't come back for seconds so I wouldn't recommend it. Left this chunky mask on for a good 20 minutes and rinsed it off in the shower. I was pleased with the results. My skin felt smooth and deeply nourished. Exactly as promised. Down side of this mask is its a FRESH mask so you can only purchase it in store, and the expiration date is within a month.
Not sure about you but I plan on spending my Valentine's Day as a Spa day. I'll be pouring myself into a love locket-butterball bath while finishing off the last remaining glob of my Oatifix mask. Go pamper yourself. Whether you have a huge date night planned or just plan on sucking down a whole bottle of moscato by yourself, you deserve some luxury. Oh yea and its muh birthday so be sure to SUBSCRIBE. A great gift for you and me! Perfect!

Musical Revue
KickstArt and the Rhumbelow Theatre proudly present the first one-man show featuring well-known actor and director, Steven Stead.
"I have wanted to do an old-fashioned, intimate one-man cabaret for some time now," says Stead, "But I have always been too busy directing big musicals and pantomimes to focus on anything so complex and fragile. Now that our theatre world has been tragically plunged into a coma thanks to Covid-19, I can ironically realise a dream of mine."
"Acting is story-telling. Making theatre is story-telling. And since the Greek bards sang of the gods and heroes of legend, and the Medieval minstrels sang of the romances and wars of knights and ladies, people have thrilled to stories told by a singer-actor through music," says Stead.
Accompanied on the piano by ace musical director and long-time collaborator, Evan Roberts, Stead will be singing a series of songs that tell stories and are inherently theatrical. They range from witty and wicked comedy songs by Noël Coward, to powerful folk songs by Jacques Brel, to thought-provoking songs from musical theatre composers like Stephen Sondheim, and Kander and Ebb. He will also be singing material from shows that he has appeared in, or been associated with, that also take the form of story-telling songs.
Once Upon a Tune will be performed at the Rhumbelow Theatre on Fri 11 Dec @ 7.30pm, Sat 12 Dec @ 7.30pm, Sun 13 Dec @ 2pm, and Wed 16 Dec @ 6pm.
Booking is essential either through Computicket, or by contacting Roland on 0824998636, or via email: roland@stansell.co.za.
All Covid-19 protocols observed.

MEDICUS SPORTS
Putting And MOI: Who Needs It? You Do!
Updated: Mar 6, 2019
Bryson DeChambeau, the mad golf scientist, has ruined it for everyone.
What about those of us who didn't exactly tear it up in high school physics class?
Good news is the golf-geek engineers at all the equipment companies have figured it out for us.
Three letters changed the shape of golf -- Moment Of Inertia -- aka MOI.
MOI is why driver heads have gotten bigger and more sophisticated with their makeup the past decade. MOI is what we don't use balata golf balls anymore. MOI is why all those nice little Bulls-Eye putters have been banished to our old golf bags out in the garage.
MOI first came to light with drivers. It was all about more speed, balls coming faster off the club-face, more distance -- yeah baby! The last frontier for MOI has been the putter. It is the reason that putters have gotten bigger, wider with more sophisticated engineering in the development process.
The science behind all of this tells us MOI is a good thing and the more the better:
To get scientific on this, and we don't want to but we will, there are two main MOI features that can be measured for the clubhead itself.
The first one is demonstrated when you hit a shot off the center of the face, (or miss the sweet spot). Even though the head is secured to a shaft, the head will try to rotate around the vertical axis going through the club-head's center of gravity. In marketing terms, this is the head design property that has a bearing on the amount of "forgiveness" a club-head offers for off-center strikes. The larger the club-head, and/or the more the designer incorporates perimeter weighting, the higher the MOI of the club-head about its center of gravity vertical axis will be, and so, the more forgiving it will be.
The higher the MOI of the head about its vertical CG axis, the less the head will twist in response to an off-center hit, and the less distance will be lost from that off-center hit. The additional head response from the off-center hit is to divert the face direction from the intended line which means a loss of accuracy as well.
The second MOI effect occurs, as the golfer swings the club. During this motion, the club head will attempt to rotate around the axis through the center of the shaft. This MOI is crucial in maintaining face direction throughout the strike. A lack of MOI during impact means less stability which means more difficulty keeping the head square at impact.
Now about the size of those drivers and new putters: The smaller the head and the more head weight that is positioned close to the center of the head, the lower the MOI of the head will be around its vertical CG axis, and the more distance will be lost when the ball is hit off center along with the loss of directional accuracy.
With the new drivers and putters, it's the opposite.
A larger, more forgiving impact area or sweet spot "area" means you DO NOT need to stress and over-control the putter in order to make good contact with the ball. More forgiving means more stability which means the face will stay square with less micro managing on your part. These two elements alone are the essence of good putter to ball contact. You can NEVER have too much of this. However, not enough of this which is the case with most putters, translates into a tedious over-controlling stroke that activates the parts of your swing that may seem to be the most reliable, your dominant small muscles, but are also easily distorted under pressure. This is what opens the door to the yips which is an understandable progression if left unchecked. Sub-conscious manipulating and second guessing adds a new dimension to what would otherwise be a basic movement.
Did you get all of that. Of course, DeChambeau would but he was a physics major at SMU.
One final thought in all of this is that some people think there can be too much MOI.
Some companies and even some instructors, will say that there can be such a thing as too much MOI.
That's like saying there can be such a thing as having too much money.
In any case, pay attention to the new putters. Do your homework, try them out.
And just remember -- you WANT that MOI -- you NEED that MOI

O Banco Privado Português (BPP) foi um banco português fundado por João Rendeiro em 1996 e do qual foi accionista José Miguel Júdice.

Caso BPP
Em 24 de julho de 2009, Paulo Guichard e Salvador Fezas Vital, dois ex-administradores do BPP que foram suspensos pelo Banco de Portugal, juntaram-se a João Rendeiro no processo do caso BPP, ao serem constituídos arguidos por serem indiciados de falsificação de contas, crimes fiscais e branqueamento de capitais.

Em 15 de abril de 2010, o Banco de Portugal, "depois de verificada a inviabilidade dos esforços de recapitalização e recuperação desta instituição", decretou o fim do Banco Privado Português.

Em 11 de outubro de 2010, foi noticiado que a Polícia Judiciária conduziu buscas nas casas de ex-responsáveis do BPP sob o âmbito de uma investigação sobre suspeitas de branqueamento de capitais e de burla. Foi também neste ano que o banco foi extinto.

Os três principais administradores do Banco Privado Português — João Manuel Oliveira Rendeiro, António Paulo Araújo Portugal de Guichard Alves e Salvador Pizarro Fezas Vital —, receberam 6,4 milhões de euros em 2008, ano em que a instituição faliu. Só João Rendeiro, antigo presidente do conselho de administração, arrecadou 2,8 milhões.

A 5 de junho de 2015, os três arguidos, João Rendeiro, Paulo Guichard e Salvador Fezas Vital, foram absolvidos do crime de burla qualificada.

A 15 de outubro de 2018, João Rendeiro foi condenado pelo Tribunal de Lisboa a cinco anos de prisão com pena suspensa. João Rendeiro, que teria de pagar 400 mil euros a uma instituição para que a pena aplicada não se tornasse efetiva, e mais quatro antigos administradores do banco foram julgados por terem ocultado contabilisticamente o prejuízo do banco. Os crimes de falsidade informática e de falsificação de documentos foram praticados pelos administradores entre 2002 e 2008. Com estas falsificações, os administradores pretenderiam esconder do Banco de Portugal, do revisor oficial de contas, do mercado e essencialmente dos clientes as perdas que podiam pôr em causa os lugares que ocupavam no BPP, com as consequentes perdas de salários, mas também de poder.

Em 10 de julho de 2020, o Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa decidiu a condenação de João Rendeiro a 5 anos e 8 meses de prisão efetiva.Em 2021, o ex-banqueiro acabaria por fugir para a África do Sul, onde acabaria por cometer suicídio, em maio de 2022.

Election Fraud & possible RICO violations in Washoe County, NV. | P2
by operationsunlight | Mar 9, 2022 | Beadles Bombs
Ok, let's dig into some data for the people that say, "ok, you've piqued my interest, so now show me!"
We'll start with Washoe Counties OWN DATA and a touch of the Secretary of State; this requires very little math, no formulas, algorithms, or equations. It's very, very basic; after reading this, if you don't seriously doubt the "Big Lie" propaganda and consider they are pushing the "Big Lie," we will wonder if you learned CRT instead of math and critical thinking in school too, but I digress.
For the Washoe County 2020 Election
(Note, the numbers are different from our original report as we are simply using their own data here. The difference now comes from new data we received from the ROV on 3/2/22)
The Registrar of Voters Online Shows:
304,224 registered voters
252,563 voted
The internal records we obtained from the Washoe Registrar of Voters show:
217,927 Registered Voters on 11/30/2020 + 56518 deleted last 36 month = 274,445
Their website shows 304,224 registered voters, but the rolls show 274,445
But more importantly, where are 29,779 registered voters?
ROV over reports the registered voters on November 2020.
The ROV data suggests that in November 2020 they did not have 304,224 registered voters, they had 274,445 registered voters.
ROV data suggests in November of 2020 they reported more registered voters than they had at that time.
Again, where are 29,779 registered voters?
Trump lost by 33,596, they say!
With the other data we will show, this is enough to flip all State seats across Nevada but—more importantly—every County seat as well!
But we're not done yet.
We procured from the Registrar of Voters on 3/2/22 a list of ALL
canceled and removed voters in Washoe County for the past 36 months.
This was to call their bluff; they say we didn't take into account all the people who were inactive or who they removed from the rolls—meaning dead people, people who moved, etc.
Guess what we found?
They removed a total of 58,667 voters over the past 36 months.
Guess what their data also showed?
They added 100,920 new registered voters in the same period of time.
Guess what that means?
When you take their 304,224 registered voters from their website and then add the 100,920 new registered voters to it, then subtract the 58,667 removed registered voters, you end up with 346,477 registered voters!
Now, Why is this a problem?
Because their website shows 304,224!
Where are the other 39,028 registered voters!?
This is simple accounting, and this does not include inactive voters; these are active registered voters, and their math is off by 39,028 voters!
We believe in 2020, they were pushed so hard to overcome the red wave that they simply kept adding more and more votes to close the gap; the problem is they added more votes than voters!
Their numbers keep changing everywhere too; we could literally write you a large book on all the errors, abnormalities, manipulations, and fraud we've found.
Look, I'm trying to keep this very simple here.
This is their own data, from their own discs, from their own servers.
The internal books simply do not match what they project to the world on their websites.
Their reportings seldom add up, their numbers keep changing, and we've been tracking it all since the election results came out. We also have decades of data to prove these shenanigans have been going on for a very long time.
Then we have all the dead people, people who moved away, vacant lots, hotels, motels, businesses, casinos, etc., with votes that are still baked into the bloated voter rolls; not to mention Edward Solomons's algorithm that shows our votes are diluted by .63% across the state of Nevada!
We don't even show you that here; this is just their own data! Open-shut case of potential fraud.
Just briefly as well, they have inactive voters too, not shown in these numbers; Michael Mulreany at the register of voters said in 15 minutes he could take large blocks of people and make them active.
So knowing that, as we've heard in other states, it could be seen here if there is a nefarious actor.
"They," in theory, could take 60,000 or however many inactive voters, hit pause, flip them to active, vote them, flip them back to inactive, then with the bloated voter rolls, no one except the registrar of voters would be the wiser to it!
Didn't we see a pause in 2020? Did pallets of ballets fall from the sky, digital votes change before our very eyes, and what would be a 1 in 4 quadrillion chance of happening mathematically happen in swing states across the country? Is that what happened here too?
Now you can see the numbers are sketchy at best; let's look to some other sketchiness.
Here are a few examples of things that simply don't add up.
Deanna Spikula says to the Nevada Secretary of State it was difficult to recruit election workers.
See her EAV report screenshot here:
Here is a request for information her office tells us via email; they had over 2,000 applicants and only needed 800!
What the piss? Who are they lying to, the secretary of state or us?
Why are they bringing in temp agencies from Florida and from Las Vegas and workers from Las Vegas to work our Washoe County elections?
They now have over 4,000 local applicants and again are outsourcing it. Why? Why not keep our elections local?
I'll dive into these shenanigans and expose far more in another part of this Washoe wackiness.
Here is another example of numbers reported by the Washoe County Registrar of Voters in November 2020. Please again notice the vast discrepancy in votes.
What the secretary of state showed on 11/25/20
What the Registrar of Voters showed in 11/2020
Notice on the 11/25/20 SOS report (now their website doesn't show this BTW) when you add up all the votes for Washoe County, it comes to 266,662, then if you look at what they say ballots cast are, it shows them as 265,295? In the fine print, they mention something about same-day registrants being hard to track as to the difference? That's a massive difference in a local race! It's their job to track it all!
Wooooosaaaaa, I'm calm now.
Look again; they show 306,033 registered voters, and below, look to see what Washoe reports, 304,224. So, where did those 2,000 voters come from? But that's not even the real deal; look what the votes show.
The SOS reports Washoe reporting 265,295 ballots cast, but below, Washoe on their site reports 252,563 ballots cast.
Again, that's a 14,099 vote discrepancy with our most valuable voice, our votes!
Again, what the actual piss is going on here?
I can do this all day, but I just want to give you a taste of what is happening in Washoe County and how it disenfranchises the entire state and Country via electoral votes!
Could you imagine a publicly-traded company with books like this? Imagine being audited by the IRS and showing them numbers like that; what do you think would happen? Ask Capone if he were still alive.
To many, this is treason, as they have all been made aware of it and just lie to cover it up!
Supposedly 1-2 people have direct evidence that the very commissioners themselves are doing this! Not Herman, but they allege that Bob Lucey and Vaugh Hartung know or play a huge part in all this. We look forward to sharing what they have to say and supposedly have pre-primaries as well!
It's a bit strange that this Bob Lucey guy, as an adult, changed his name from Lingenfelter to Lucey. The court documents, pissed-off partners, etc., will be shown here too. Don't miss it.
Also, Vaughn Hartung was a wedding photographer who somehow became Chair Of the County Commissioners and has several sexual misconduct claims against him and much more.
The witnesses who allegedly have evidence on these guys are definitely piquing our interest. A womanizer and guy who changes his name before running for office, in charge of Washoe elections? More on that to come as well.
Now, this isn't all; in part 3, we'll dive into a critical recording of Washoe County Registrar of Voters, Deanna Spikula saying one thing in the public eye, then something damning to Washoe County legal voters when she is back in her lair.
Then, we'll speak to ERIC, the structure of Washoe County elections, who "could" prosecute, and what the Secretary of State allegedly did to kneecap any chance of actual election policing, according to Adam Laxalt.
Stay tuned; part 3 will be coming soon!


A huge contrast to the traditional media like the newspaper or television where you just absorb and accept what you are given, except for a rare letter to the editor, social media pulls you directly into the loop, letting you comment or respond to what is displayed before you.

The fact that a social media tool like Facebook is responsible for the success of different small and medium-sized businesses in the UK alone tells you how much this new development in the online world has influenced the masses. So what makes such interactive tools so popular? Is it just the visibility that they provide to these businesses? No. It is also because social media takes customer relationship to a different level, letting you interact with them and know the vibes among the users regarding your business.

I have a theory about how one dresses stylishly in Ireland, or at least here at University of Limerick. See, as far as I can tell from a few days' observations, the thing about the Irish is that they really love their neckwear. A normal scarf is a good place to start. A knit cowl is heading in the right direction. But the truly chic will settle for nothing less than an enormous, bulky circle scarf.
Ideally, it will be a chunky knit, so thick that it reaches your ears when settled around your neck and so long that you can wrap it twice and then some. (Just twice would be fine, but then you wouldn't be able to have it both tightly around your neck AND with a cascade of knitwear covering your chest, which is the ideal look.) Garter stitch and stockinette with slight variations seem to be the patterns of choice; just get as much knitting around your neck as possible. If your scarf isn't quite bulky enough, fringe is an acceptable way to add more yarn to your person.
Needless to say, I will be buying yarn and making myself one of these as soon as possible. In America I usually think they look ridiculous, but after 3 days of walking to class in the constant chilly damp I'm starting to see the appeal!

In my quest for awesomely local cafes in Japan, I have the good fortune of living a mere two hours from a city which is famous for its eccentric locally grown cafes: Hiroshima.
While the city boasts many wonder options for cafes, my favorite is a little joint a half hour form the city, called the BlueBird Café.
Nestled right in front of the JR Miyajimaguchi train station, this gem alone is worth the half-hour, 400-yen train ride from Hiroshima Station, and is definitely a must-see if you are going to Miyajima Island.
The first floor of the café is a small shop selling quirky goods. From the street, it almost doesn't even look like a café. The order counter is tucked away in the corner just behind a huge display of homemade pastries.
The menu boasts an extensive offers of unique lattes and other espresso creations. After ordering guests walk up the narrow staircase to the second floor, with desks, tables, and couches.
If the comfortable seats and laid-back atmosphere isn't enough to keep you lingering, you could probably spend an entire day just exploring the decorations on the second floor. From the newspaper ceilings, to the Japanese poetry books, to vintage children's toys, there are certain a lot of distractions to keep you occupied.
It is a cozy and quiet atmosphere.
The customers of this café tend to be pairs of women, or the occasion small groups of teenagers will be quietly studying on the large main table. However, there is one guest who I always look forward to seeing, the owner's cat, who is constantly occupying at least one of the cushions in the café.
On this particular day, she even had her own blanket.
Definitely. In addition to the standard offerings of Hazelnut, Vanilla, etc, they even have seasonable specials line Honey or Peppermint.
Check. Since the counter is downstairs, you are out of sight of the staff. They only come upstairs to serve the drinks or pastries, other than that you are totally alone.
Check. There are small tables designed for two, but it's not weird if one person sits there.
Absolutely. This place is chill. It's easy to spend an entire day here relaxing, eating, and reading.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to have a busy summer.
The Red Devils manager is reportedly set to be handed in excess of £200million by Ed Woodward in a massive summer squad overhaul.
And it's safe to say the United squad is in need of a major restructure.
Ander Hererra is on his way out of Old Trafford and is set to sign a deal with French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
While club captain Antonio Valencia is set to leave United after nearly 11 years with the club.
Juan Mata's future is also uncertain, with the Spaniard admitting he could return to Spain when his contract expires in the summer.
But who could be on their way to Old Trafford? talkSPORT.com has assessed all the potential new arrivals in what looks set to be one of Man United's busiest transfer windows to date.
Sancho is reportedly Manchester United's top target this summer.
The 19-year-old has been an integral part of Borussia Dortmund's title challenging squad.
His form has also seen the teenager break into Gareth Southgate's England team and is widely regarded as one of the countries brightest young prospects.
United are ready to pay over £100million for the winger, according to The Independent..
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be interested in signing Sancho but United is the likeliest destination – and he fuelled speculation of a move after retweeting a post urging him to head to Old Trafford.
United are also reportedly preparing to make a huge bid for Napoli defender Koulibaly.
The Senegalese powerhouse has been a long-term target for Old Trafford chiefs, particularly for former manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was keen to sign a centre-back last summer and Koulibaly was reportedly on the top of his wish-list.
But a move for a centre-back never materialised – a decision which the Portuguese bemoaned repeatedly before he was sacked.
However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, United are set to break the bank to tempt the Serie A side into selling their star defender.
Manchester United are also believed to be monitoring Crystal Palace star Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Diogo Dalot, 20, who was dubbed the best right-back in the world for his age upon his arrival last summer by ex-boss Mourinho, has featured regularly under Solskjaer.
However, the Norwegian, who gave 33-year-old full-back Ashley Young a new deal in February, still wants a replacement for Valencia – and Wan-Bissaka could occupy the right flank for years to come.
The England Under-21 star has been a standout performer for the Eagles this season, contributing significantly to Palace's 11 clean sheets this season – the joint-fourth highest in the Premier League.
The Senegal international has made his name as one of the best Toffees players in recent seasons.
He has been likened to N'Golo Kante for his work rate and could be a natural successor for the departing Hererra.
United have often used a three man midfield in recent seasons with two defensive minded players – a move for Gueye could see that change where he could occupy a sole spot in front of defence.
He has lit up Ligue 1 with 19 goals and 11 assists this season – and was once again impressive on Sunday, scoring a goal as Lille dismantled PSG 5-1 on Sunday.
But securing a move away from France will not be easy, with Lille already rejecting bids worth €50million (£42,9m).
Furthermore, Arsenal have been regularly linked with the starlet and Bayern Munich also reportedly interested.
United are also reportedly keeping an eye on former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, according to the Daily Express.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season for Lyon.
And he is no stranger to English football, having played for Fulham before joining Celtic.
But he was still very young during his spell with the Cottagers and now he has more experience under his belt in the Scottish and French leagues.

Q: Relative extrema - calculus You have opened a shoe factory and  you're trying to figure out the amount in thousands of pairs of shoes to produce in order to optimize your profit.
Suppose a wholesaler is willing to pay $\$10$ for every pair of shoe sold. After consulting a financial expert, you realize that your average cost is given as $y =x^2 -6x+15$. Where $x$ is given as the amount of shoes to produce in thousands
a. If you are restricted by the market to produce a maximum of $4000$ pairs of shoes, how many shoes do you need to produce in order to optimise your profit.
b. Will your answer in (a) above change if you're not restricted?

A:
Suppose a wholesaler is willing to pay $10 for every pair of shoe sold. After consulting a financial expert, you realize that your average cost is given as y =x^2 -6x+15. Where x is given as the amount of shoes to produce in thousands

I'm assuming the average cost is per pair (with $x$ in thousands). In that case, the production of $x$ pairs of shoes (with $x$ in thousands) gives you a profit of:
$$\mbox{Profit} = \underbrace{10x}_{\mbox{TR}}-\underbrace{x\left( x^2 -6x+15 \right)}_{\mbox{TC}}$$
You can now simplify and find the extreme values via the derivative.

White House planning packed season of holiday parties

Published December 02. 2020 12:05AM
Josh Dawsey and Yasmeen Abutaleb, The Washington Post
WASHINGTON - The White House is forging ahead with plans for more than a dozen indoor holiday parties this month despite the ongoing surge in coronavirus cases, ignoring warnings from the Trump administration's own public health professionals to limit travel and avoid congregating in large group settings.
The president and the first lady are determined to have a final holiday season in the White House, officials said, despite a pandemic that has killed more than 266,000 Americans and infected 13 million across the country. Many of the administration's supporters have taken a skeptical view of the restrictions aimed at combating the virus and are choosing to attend, officials said.
The events, including the Congressional Ball on Dec. 10, will each include more than 50 guests and could risk the health of White House staffers and others who work at the parties. Most guests will not be tested in advance, one official said.
At the first such event Monday afternoon - a reception for volunteers who helped decorate the White House - guests were given sparkling wine and snacks, and they mingled in the State Dining Room and the East Room, among other places. Some did not wear masks or adhere to social distancing, officials said.
The parties, likely to cost millions of dollars, will be paid for by the Republican Party, according to a person with knowledge of the planning.
Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump, said on Tuesday that protocols will be taken to protect attendees.
"This includes smaller guest lists; masks will be required and available, social distancing encouraged while on the White House grounds, and hand sanitizer stations throughout the State Floor," Grisham said. "Guests will enjoy food individually plated by chefs at plexiglass-protected food stations. All passed beverages will be covered. All service staff will wear masks and gloves to comply with food safety guidelines. Attending the parties will be a very personal choice."
But health experts expressed dismay at the plans, noting that cases are not only increasing across the country but in the Washington area specifically. They also said travel by many guests outside the District of Columbia probably would violate myriad state and city restrictions.
"Our rates in the area, just in the region, are going up at a degree where it's hard now to trace or identify sources of infections, and testing alone is no longer protective unless you're testing and technically quarantining, which I doubt these people are" said Kavita Patel, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who worked on health policy in the Obama administration. She is also an internal medicine physician at St. Mary's health center in Washington who sees patients treated for COVID-19, the disease that can be caused by the novel coronavirus.
"While colleagues of mine are literally leaving families and living in garages and trying to help take care of COVID patients, this feels like another slap in the face. That is a disaster," Patel said.
Across Washington, many businesses, trade associations and political groups are not having holiday parties this year because of concerns about spreading the deadly virus. Millions of families across the country have also canceled their plans to gather in large groups.
One White House ally said he had been invited to two parties already, while another said a formal invitation to one event included no guidance on masks or social distancing. Invitees include donors, lawmakers, senior staffers on Capitol Hill, family members of White House aides and prominent conservative supporters. The president and first lady are expected to make appearances at the events, officials said.
The parties are a bipartisan annual tradition, and many guests residing outside Washington visit the city for the fetes. There is considerable interest among Republicans on Capitol Hill in attending the parties, a senior Republican aide said.
Some of the events are tours, while others are formal receptions with food and drink offerings. There will be two parties a day on some days, officials said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that indoor gatherings pose more risks than outdoor, and that "gatherings with more people pose more risk than gatherings with fewer people." But the CDC does not have a limit on the number of attendees for gatherings.
Still, the administration's leading scientists have asked Americans to be particularly careful over the holiday season. Health officials have repeatedly warned the White House against hosting indoor events, but they have resigned themselves to the fact that Trump and his aides will ultimately do what they want.
"I blame the White House for hosting as much the guests who choose to attend knowing that good public health behaviors are not practiced in and around the White House," one senior health official said.
Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert, warned about a rising surge in cases on NBC News's "Meet the Press."
"What we expect, unfortunately, as we go for the next couple of weeks into December, is that we might see a surge superimposed on the surge we are already in," Fauci said. "I don't want to frighten people, except to say it is not too late to do something about this."
Fauci floated additional restrictions he said the country might have to consider. "We are going to have to make decisions as a nation, state, city and family that we are in a very difficult time, and we're going to have to do the kinds of restrictions of things we would have liked to have done, particularly in this holiday season, because we're entering into what's really a precarious situation," he said.
Trump has shown no inclination to avoid attending large events, even after contracting the virus in early October.
A number of events at the White House have been linked to coronavirus outbreaks, including a ceremony for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett's nomination and an election night party. Besides the president, dozens of White House aides, including the chief of staff, the national security adviser and the press secretary, have contracted the virus.
Many aides say they believe Trump's mishandling of the virus is one of the primary reasons he lost the election to Joe Biden, who has endorsed mask-wearing and other restrictions aimed at limiting spread.
"The White House is ... sending out 2020 with a bang. Indoor gatherings like this at a time of high community spread of SARS-CoV2 puts revelers at the White House holiday party at risk, as well as staff who must work the event," said Gregg Gonsalves, an epidemiologist at the Yale University school of public health. "It's characteristic of the irresponsibility that has defined this administration's approach to the pandemic. It's cavalier, selfish and wrong."

The Return of Alcazar to Gemmayzeh!
Around Town, Featured
Gemmayzeh wasn't always the nightlife hub it is now. It was like every other area of Beirut until the mid 2000s, when a few bars opened up and paved the road for the city's most exuberant nightlife district to date. Despite competition from up-and-coming neighborhoods and streets elsewhere, Gemmayzeh still reigns. But it hasn't been easy and perhaps part of the success of the district lies in its multiple face lifts. While a few bars and restaurants have taken root, others have come and gone – and it seems it's this dynamic that's kept us on our feet, coming back to check out what's new, but always knowing we've got the familiar and well-loved places. As Lebanese we love change, and our nightlife venues (even those that have been open for ages) have always accommodated our tendency to become easily bored! From new places altogether, to new decorations, new menus and new theme nights, novelty has bred success.
Before it closed down last year, one of the street's cornerstone pubs was Crystal Group's ALCAZAR, the hugely popular 3 storey restaurant and bar that also included a charming outdoor patio and rooftop terrace that are so perfect for Beiruti summers. Its location on the St. Nicolas Stairs means it's right in the middle of all the action. The stairs are frequently used for art and cultural events, and are themselves an oldschool landmark in the city. On the inside, ALCAZAR's untouched walls, 30-foot bar and vintage black and white projections were unpretentious, artistic and welcoming – not to mention how great the delicious food and cocktails were!
And guess what? They're reopening! On March 1st get ready to bring it all back and check out what's new. The first floor will be transformed into an art space for those who are interested in showcasing their exhibits. With the re-opening of such a landmark pub as ALCAZAR we're not sure what to expect, but we're sure Gemmayzeh will be rushing back here. We can't wait to bring back the good times!

Note: We cannot guarantee that every book is in the library. I've struggled installing some of the proposed libraries, but nothing that a good google search couldn't solve ;. This would make your book the default reference and might even blow it up to 100 pages. The installation section closes with one small example, implemented in each of the support languages, giving the reader a good sampling of what that would look like. However, a verticle instance can only have one thread assigned that's also why using the thread local variables to keep a context of your business logic is a bad idea. From its web site, Vert.
Another good pages if you havent done it yet, you can review each example and extract the part that are valuable for the lessons those examples teaches. Btw, stick to the version 2. Btw, stick to the version 2. So now I understand whats going on really. So, all in all, not enough knowledge to jump into a serious production project, but enough to play with the framework and maybe test it in your company or free time I saw they have a bigger book on the topic. So I am a vet actually even if I sometimes sound silly ;. All in al This a good introduction to a framework that I wasn't aware of its existence.
You can also find customer support email or phone in the next page and ask more details about availability of this book. Overall, I enjoyed the book. The flip side is that if he had used Java, the book would probably be twice as long. But this was appearently wrong. The race conditions are avoided because the framework guarantees each instance of a verticle is assigned to one and only one event loop thread. Get to grips with a new technology, understand what it is and what it can do for you, and then get to work with the most important features and tasks.
I wrote mine about software development, code quality and software metrics applied to agile development testfirst etc in 07 :. I liked the style of the book: it is short and concise and after reading it, you have a good overview over Vert. And of cause you can add a part for a example project. Here one can explain the implementation and odds of the HttpServer. Here one can explain the implementation and odds of the HttpServer. The things about the event loop is interesting, from digging into the code it seams this is netty related so I guess I have to check out netty too.
Also, I believe Web is just another thing you can do using Vert. If you add some more pages about real world applications and interviews in a second part, I would surely buy it. This book gives an overview of the advantages of asynchronous programming, especially the vert. This has a fixed size, bound to the number of available processors in the system. The advantage of the book is, that it structures the information in an easily digestible way that you can read in chunks offline. You can also explain how class loading is happening when having multiple modules. As a Java guy, I would have liked to see the examples in Java.
Re: [vertx:11869] Re: First book about Vert.x!
The objective is to set you up and running, not showing under the hood. This a good introduction to a framework that I wasn't aware of its existence. This is a short book 54 pages. I liked the style of the book: it is short and concise and after reading it, you have a good overview over Vert. With all that said, my take on the book: Not knowing anything about Vert. It has a great step-by-step explanation about Vert.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the capabilities of vert. So how vertx ensures all my handlers run in the context of my verticle so there are no race conditions happening. This book has been especially created to provide you with all the information that you need to get operational with Vert. I do have a few nits, though. These are now problems of the past. I will read it in the coming days.
You will learn the fundamental concepts of Vert. It really would need to be explained in a separate book. You will learn everything you need to know to become an independent web application developer. With Safari, you learn the way you learn best. That would be a big no-no of async programming: shared mutable objects.
