STRIPTEASE IN THE MUSTER ROOM
The 9th Precinct muster-room was always an active place. You stepped into it when you walked through the front door. The desk was the first stop for visitors to the precinct. On a busy tour, cops and their prisoners could be lined up waiting to be logged in. The prisoners had to be searched at the desk and their personal property verified. The facts of the arrest an the evidence were presented to the desk officer for invoicing and processing.
Sometimes, "Elvis" would come into the precinct to entertain us. I never learned his full name, but we called him "Elvis". He would walk off the street and stand to the side conversing with the cops. He was a young guy who combed his hair in the '50s style with a big wave on top and a "DA" (duck's ass). When he felt comfortable, he would start to sing an old Elvis Presley song. The guy could really sing and he sounded a lot like Elvis.
Charlie Nelson and I would like to set up a sort of stage for him sometimes. Once, we were busy with the usual line of cops and prisoners waiting to log in their arrests, and Elvis came in. We stopped everything, turned off the lights in the muster room except for the flexible desk light and we used it as a spotlight. Elvis beamed as we all fell silent and listened to his rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes". Even the prisoners got into the spirit of the show. When he finished, the entire room burst into applause as Elvis shyly shuffled his feet and nervously glanced around at the packed police station. On would go the lights and it would be back to business. Elvis walked out of the precinct shaking his head. He must have thought we were crazier than he was.
When I first looked up, I saw an attractive woman dressed in a sexy black dress. She was a petite brunette and looked like she had a dinner date. The two cops presented her at the desk and informed me of the charges. She was under arrest for loitering for the purposes of prostitution. The cops motioned me aside and we conferred about the charges. They were experienced officers and they had made many such arrests. It was not unusual for transvestites, hermaphrodites, cross-dressers or just plain female impersonators to be arrested in the 9th Precinct. The cops were nervous because they felt that the "woman" was in fact a male, yet, to avoid a civilian complaint asked that a female police officer conduct an interview and search of the "woman". A female officer from the 13th Precinct responded to the 9th and after a brief interview, she and the "woman" went into the toilet on the first floor for a search. After a five-minute period, the door of the toilet flew open and the female officer emerged with an angry look on her face. "He' a guy!" she yelled. With that, the "woman", who had removed "her" dress for the search, strutted out of the toilet and stood in front of the desk with a wide smile on "her" face. The black bra, garter-belt, panties, stockings, and high-heels shoes evoked images of a stripper as "she" stood with hands on hips and thrust "her" breasts at the desk. The cops entering the precinct stared bug-eyed at the unexpected show.
The pretense was over now and the prisoner was properly searched and the charges entered in the Command Log. After booking her, the cops took "her" back to the sitting room for arrest processing. The 9th Precinct had the holding pen in the same room as the sitting room where the troops mustered for roll call. When "she" was brought back into the sitting room dressed in garter-belt and stockings, the cell full of prisoners whistled and shouted their approval. She refused to put the dress back on.
I instructed the cops to keep "her" separate from the other prisoners, but while I was talking with the cops, "she" took off "her" bra and proudly displayed a pair of shapely breasts. At that moment, the Duty Captain entered the precinct to sign into the command log. I was called out to the muster room to confer him about precinct conditions. He was a quiet guy and avoided spending too much time inside the stationhouse. I called him "the Monsignor", He would always ask about conditions, sign the book, and hurriedly leave. This time, I thought I would include him in some of the precinct problems. I told him I needed his opinion about an arrest in the sitting room. His face turned ashen and he mumbled his assent. We walked together back to the sitting room and his eyes widened in dismay at the sight of the "stripper" standing insolently before him. He stuttered and looked from the cell full of leering prisoners back at the sexily clad "stripper". His jaw dropped when "she" sassily shook "her" breasts at him and said: "C'mon, guys, I'll wash your glasses with my tits!" When we all started laughing, the Captain realized the joke and in spite of himself, he too smiled at the antics of the "stripper".
9th Precinct cops on an uptown detail in 1981
LtoR: Sgt Timmy Clark, Mike Dimino, Pat Rogers, Gene Fiocca, Lt. Ed Reuss
Kneeling: Tom Kalb (unable to identify cop wearing helmet)
Such incidents colored the lives of the police officers who worked the 9th Precinct. There was never a dull moment in that Command. For humorous incidents, it had no equal. Some of those stories will be told on these pages by cops who served many years in the "Fighting 9th" Precinct.

While it feels like it's been a long time coming, 5G smartphones are arriving sooner than you may think. One day after Samsung announced it will be launching a 5G smartphone on Verizon's network early next year, both AT&T and Sprint revealed that they, too, will offer the device around the same time.
The 5G smartphone will be the second device to launch on AT&T's 5G mobile network, following the completion of the first millimeter wave mobile 5G browsing session with a standards-based device on a 5G network back in October. AT&T and Samsung also teamed up to create America's first manufacturing-focused 5G Innovation Zone — a test bed that will allow both the carrier and manufacturer to take a closer look at how 5G will impact the manufacturing industry.
Following Verizon and AT&T's announcements, Sprint made sure it was known that the carrier wasn't being left out. According to PCMag, Sprint's vice president of product engineering and development, Ryan Sullivan, confirmed to the publication that it is also teaming up with Samsung to launch a 5G smartphone in the first half of 2019. Around that time, the carrier also plans on beginning its mobile 5G rollout in nine markets including New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more.
As for the 5G smartphone, there aren't any details other than the fact that it will feature Qualcomm's X50 G modem. A proof of concept will be unveiled at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Technology Summit this week — where Qualcomm just announced its new Snapdragon 855 processor, with 5G support.
We can also expect to see it include Samsung's RAM module that the company announced in July. Known as the LPDDR5 module, it's the first 10-nanometer-class 8GB RAM out there. Not only will it help to provide battery life by reducing power consumption, but it will also provide greater efficiency. It also brings quicker data transfers to the table that are 1.5 times faster than the chips being used in top-tier smartphones.
While it's been years in the making, the 5G technology brings its fair share of improvements, including speeds up to 100 times faster than current cellular service, along with reduced latency. It will also bring advances to technology like connected cars, augmented reality, cloud-powered apps, and more.
Once 5G service goes live early next year, those with Samsung 5G smartphones will be able to take advantage of the network through Verizon immediately. The carrier also mentioned that users will be able to take advantage of additional services, games, and features.
Verizon originally kicked off its 5G network testing in the United States two years ago and then launched the first home 5G internet service in October — available in Houston, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, and Sacramento, California. Last month, it also made the first 5G video call using a Moto Z3 smartphone that comes equipped with a 5G Moto Mod.
Meanwhile, loyal iPhone users might have to wait a while longer for their 5G device. News of Verizon and Samsung's plans for 5G come the same day that rumors surfaced about Apple's plans for the network. According to Bloomberg, sources close to the matter claim the company doesn't plan on releasing a 5G iPhone until at least 2020.
Updated December 4, 2018: Sprint confirms plans to offer a 5G smartphone in 2019.


My eighth grade yearbook predicted that I would have a dual career as a lawyer and the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. As I look back, it occurs to me that my mistake was not in my ambition, but in my priorities. Lawyer first? What was I thinking? Lawyers get neither the money, the girls, nor the dedicated page on TMZ. Trust me, the absolute last thing you want to see on the internet is a 40 year old lawyer partying in Las Vegas, or frolicking in Tahiti. No one ever talks about a lawyer's "out of the courthouse" antics.
So why do sports fans care about "off-the-field" antics? In fact, we don't. We forgave Michael Vick's caninacide, after a great season in Philly. We welcomed Plaxico Burress and all of his offensive weapons, because the Steelers needed a receiver. Who could forget the allegations of sexual misconduct against Ben Roethlisberger? Just about every Steelers fan watching the 2011 Super Bowl, that's who. And, everyone mourned the retirement of putative role model Ray Lewis.
Poor Tim Tebow. His off-the-field behavior consists of prayer, confession, and charity. Yet, he was, arguably, the most compelling distraction to befall New York since, well, Jesus.
Rob Gronkowski is, perhaps, one of the best tight ends to play the game and a likely hall of famer. Predictably, we have seen a lot of Rob this off-season, mostly featured in stories about his "off-the-field" antics. Or, on ESPN trying to defend himself from those who accuse him of excessive partying, or having too much fun. If this guy buys a beer in public, we are likely to read about it the next day. He is 23. And rich. And talented. And single. And a celebrity in his own right. And he has four brothers who love him – each one cooler than the next and they all look out for each other. He has achieved a stratospheric level of success that is literally every eighth grader's dream.
I spent a couple of days with Rob and his brother Gordie in Las Vegas. I sat at a dinner table with him and watched the chef offer specially-prepared meals, the owner ply him with free appetizers, men offer free drinks, women offer free, um, dating advice, and the hostess offer him a Diamond Knife to cut his prime rib. Even Darrell Revis – – the guy who was supposed to stop Gronk from catching passes – – had to drop by to pay his respects.
I also saw the famous dance that landed him in the headlines. I saw the bar-tab and the parties. And, we all watched the round-the-clock coverage of his short vacation. We were incredulous at the negative press. And, the inaccuracies. He kicked a friend. He kicked a stranger. He re-injured his arm. He was out partying and drinking all night. In fact, he was with his brothers and playfully flipped one brother to the ground. He was not wasted and he did not injure his arm. It may be a minor point but who doesn't wrestle with their brothers? Also, minor misstatements from the press are rarely insignificant. The story doesn't quite sell as well if it is framed as ordinary horsing around.
Here is what he will never tell you. He spent four hours each day in the gym carefully working out after a long rehabilitation. Four hours. I cannot think of a single thing that I can do for four hours. This guy cares about his body. He cares about his team and his career. And the fans. Trust me, I am sure he would have preferred to sleep in but his work ethic and his commitment to his fans wouldn't abide such reasonable behavior.
He spent quite a bit of those two days working out the details of several upcoming charitable events that he was quietly sponsoring. He has a charitable foundation that he deeply cares about but he only talks about it publicly if it will expand its reach.
He talked a lot about his family and it soon became clear that the Gronk is a family man. A dedicated and loving son. And, he and his brothers care about each other in a way that you just do not expect from anyone, let alone such fiercely independent (and large) men.
Perhaps most impressive was the patience he showed with fans. I did not see him turn away a single autograph seeker. He did not turn down a single request for a picture. And, if the image was blurry, he laughed and took another. I had trouble sitting through the first ten requests while he must have smiled through about 100. And, that has to happen everywhere he goes.
Over two days, I saw a role model. A guy who loves his fans, his team, and his teammates. An athlete thoroughly committed to success and to the game. One terrible truth emerged: this life-long Jet-fan and Patriot-hater is going to be seriously conflicted next season.
And, so, for the next few months, I watched with surprise as commentators, sports writers, analysts, bloggers, and even fans, questioned Gronkowski's work ethic, personality, and commitment. Even his sanity.
I came to the following truth. As a society, we crave heroes. But, role models are too damn boring (Tebow). You know what isn't boring? Bad men acting badly. So, we have invented a counter-culture by which we highlight the lack of role models by attacking anyone who might qualify. It is a self-fulfilling process.
I do not know if movie-stars or athletes deserve to be role models simply because they can act or catch a football. I would love for my children to aspire to professional success by following the paths of those who excel in any career. That does not mean I want them mimicking the off the field behavior of those very same people. There are those who merit our scorn – – even while we cheer for them to win the game for us. There are those who merit our respect, even if they couldn't quite fulfill their NFL dreams. And, then there are the role models – – those who can balance both personal integrity and professional success. We need to embrace those people – – even if they occasionally but responsibly let off steam and engage in reasonable distractions in their personal time. We all do it. Let's vilify the villains and cultivate the heroes.
Thanks to you, this blog has reached unimaginable successes. Over 260,000 readers. It was mentioned on WCBS radio and CNN. The feedback has been great – – even when I totally disagreed. So, thanks for that. Please take a moment now, go to the home page, (aweisbrot.wordpress.com) and enter your email address on the right side in order to subscribe to the blog. You will ONLY get an email when I post a new entry. That's it. And, if you like what you read, please take a minute and send this link to your friends.
I enjoyed your post very much. I get so tired of reading negative things about innocent situations that he is in. If I was 23 and rich and gorgeous, theres no telling what kind of trouble I would find myself in, but he seems to be a genuinely good person that just enjoys all that he has been blessed with. The last guy that did this type of interview where they spent a few days together seemed to take advantage of his trusting personality and wrote an article criticizing everything the man did. I was just disgusted. He's not hurting anyone. In fact he makes alot of people happy so haters just need to get a life. Anyway, great job!
Finally someone who gets down to the realization that Mr. Gronkoswki is just 23 years old and acting his age. As the mother of a 23 year old son and being one of ten children myself I can only laugh when I read about some of Gronk's antics as I think "it's all in clean fun". My mother probably wanted to throttle us more than once a day when we were all in the same room, even as adults with children of our own. Just as much as I grin and bear it with my 23 year old whom, I have no doubt, had he the money would be doing "all that" and then some! Get well Gronk, we New England fans miss you.
Still prefer Tebow over Gronk, but that's me with a teenage daughter who loves these athletes. Glad she doesn't always gravitate to the spoiled, rich 23 year olds.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this post. It's rare to hear a different perspective from what is being reported. Everyone was 23 once but not everyone knows the work and responsibility involved in being at the very top. Thanks, Ari.
Outstanding post. Really appreciate you sharing this experience. I didn't have first-hand knowledge of Rob's off-field behavior but took exception to the way he was being portrayed by the media. Wish ESPN would pick up your story… but as you pointed out, it's not in their interest to do so. Thanks again.
I dont know since i am not a woman. But i would guess he is.
Is Rob respectful towards women? I'm just curious. The media makes it sound like he's jumping in bed with a different girl every night. I wondered how true that was?
Just happened to stumble on this article. So you consider Rob gronkowski a role model? In some ways he is & in some ways he is not. Just curious; if you had a daughter (18 or older) would you be okay with her dating him?
Depends what she looked like.

As Tam mentioned in her earlier post, we've begun work on the barn.
We've been discussing building the barn since… well, since not long after we moving in 10 years ago. The big shed we built back in 2005 (with much help from Steve and Jennifer) has been great, vital even. The concrete floor we (finally) got poured in the shed back in 2011 has made it even better.
When we moved in, the place came with an empty concrete foundation- where the old cattery was located. It naturally attracted piles of junk (firewood, scrap timber, Yvonne's jumping-rails and equestrian-stuff). Serious construction plans started in 2010; I took a draft barn plan to council. They pointed out that the existing foundation was 20 years old, but the code required that the foundation have a minimum of a 50-year lifespan. Time to call in the first engineer! They confirmed the slab was in good shape, that it was on good firm ground, and that there was steel in the slab, as per plan. They couldn't guarantee the lifespan of the slab unless he cut it in half… which kinda defeats the purpose. So he suggested we pour a new footing around the perimeter. That way the barn will be resting on the new (50-year-lifespan) footing, and center of the slab is now just a floor with no lifespan requirements.
A couple of years passed as I worked on the building consent, and we went through many, many iterations of the barn plan. We settled on a final plan in 2012, and I got the building consent approved (a lengthy saga of its own, building consents are becoming excessively ponderous in their required paperwork).
Last December Dave M and I built the form-work for the new concrete footing (and I put in lots and lots of reinforcing steel), and in early January with the help of my new neighbor Dave W we got the concrete poured. Woo!
And then they announced the road running through our farm. So I lost 4 months reading, researching, writing, meeting with local mayors and councils, etc.
Back in June I finally got to the construction phase. I would build walls and bits during the week, then on the weekend get some friends over and we would prop them up and bolt them in place.
Yesterday was a big day- the posts and beams. This was not going to be a 2 or 3 person job, so I put out the call and we got a big team.
The posts are 250x250x27000 macrocarpa, rough saw straight from the sawmill. They look great! And they weren't that hard to get in place.
The large beams are 410x90x5400, LVL (laminate veneer lumber- essentially structural plywood). They were HEAVY. I was glad for all the extra people.
With that done, I can now continue. A floor, the second level walls, then the rafters and roof await!

Homepage Meet The Team Directors
Board of Directors: In all Academy Trusts, the individuals appointed to challenge and scrutinise the strategic direction and day to day running of the company, led by the Chief Executive Officer, have three functions:
They are Directors - because the MAT is a company, and;
They are Trustees - because the MAT is a charity, and;
They are Governors - because the MAT is responsible for running the schools
This can be very confusing as the documentation used to set up the Academy Trust and the Department for Education guidance for Academies uses these three titles interchangeably, depending on the context. In Nexus, this role is simply called 'Director'. Directors are made up of a diverse range of individuals. The Members will always appoint Directors, and Directors have the option to appoint associate Directors.
Below are further details of the Nexus MAT Directors.

Vivek and Devang are management experts and had extreme insights of the travel industry before they founded OneWayCab. Since they both did not have expertise over technology, when they approached Innovify they were doing 80% of their bookings using a call-centre and the rest via website which involved a lot of human intervention.
This was not scalable and hence needed a strong Tech Team so that they can transform to accomplish all 80% bookings in an automated fashion.
All Web bookings to be directly accepted by the drivers themsleves with minimum intervention of the dispatch, which meant creating a Driver App for accepting and rejecting a ride based on the basic algorithm of preferences (can't reveal the algorithm though) and monitoring the same with Dispatch Panel. The same Dispatch panel was provided to the call-centre team where they started punching bookings into the system to then push them back to the Driver App for ride confirmations. This brought the call-centre load down to 50% as now the call-centre was not calling drivers to assign jobs to them.
Create Customer App for Android and iOS wherein customers can directly book the rides and those rides can be directly passed onto the drivers so that the load on call-centre reduces further to 20%, which brought in a lot of efficiency in the system, but still the Dispatch Panel needed a lot of intervention to follow up with drivers to accept rides.
Create Loyalty features and Refer and Earn features to make sure that users do their bookings via Tech and not call the call-centre to earn discounts and loyalty benefits. Also, exposing the APIs to be integrated by third party travel aggregators like Ibibo, ixigo, etc. also helped in bringing down the calls to call-centre next to zero.
Ensuring which data is active for faster retrieval and which can be delayed ensuring the application to be fast and responsive. A Hybrid Database to store important and redundant data using SQL and NO-SQL databases ensuring the data privacy and laid the foundation for Analytics using BIG DATA tools.
Each component of the application was built decoupled from day one so that the micro-services could be deployed over multiple containers to scale the application as well as database; both horizontally and vertically.
Using the right deployment practices and ensuring Load balancing principles, the system was always available whenever there was a spike over festivals.
Innovify not only acted as the product development partner, but also brought in Agile & Lean processes using Scrum Methodologies so that the team can scale for tomorrow. Innovify's unique BOT model (Build – Operate – Transfer) helped them raise funds and provided them enough time to hire the key positions in-house to take the product to next level. The Agile coaches at Innovify trained new members of the OneWayCab Development team about Agile and Scrum whilst the Technical Architects not only helped in hiring the right talent, but also ensured that the right development practices are followed in the organisation.
Oneway.cab which was bootstrapping, could successfully raise $450K from Indian Angel Network and was prepared to take on the stalwarts like Uber and Ola in intercity travel domain and now are operating in 400+ routes with very less staff and with the help of Innovify's transparent process; now controls the tech and scaling it from there. Still, Vikas Agarwal is the Acting CTO of the company to help and guide them whenever they need assistance. They are now planning to raise $3M to ensure country wide operations.

SIPRI at 50—A Year of Reflection on Peace and Security: Tracking international arms flows and why it matters for peace
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, SIPRI is producing the short-film series 2016—A Year of Reflection, which focuses on SIPRI's 50 years' experience of fact-building for peace and its role in building a more peaceful future. The second film, 'Tracking international arms flows and why it matters for peace', features SIPRI Senior Researchers Dr Aude Fleurant, Pieter Wezeman and Mark Bromley discussing the international arms trade and efforts to control it.
Watch the second film or see the whole series thus far on SIPRI's YouTube channel.
This film series is produced in cooperation with Different Films Limited.
The legacy of revolution and resistance in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso has featured in breaking international news in recent years, mainly for the revolutionary struggle and the popular resistance against authoritarian rule and abuse of power. But also making the news have been stories of a possible backlash against these positive political developments, notably the coup d'état in September 2015 and the terrorist attacks in January 2016. Some observers concluded that such negative events mark 'the end of the Burkinabe exception'. This essay argues that revolution and resistance represent a specific strand of the country's socio-political legacy.

North Korea's space launch
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, North Korea) launched a space launch vehicle (SLV) on 7 February 2016 at around 09:00 local time in North Korea, with the aim of placing a satellite into the earth's orbit. Until more information is provided by North Korea on the SLV launch one can only speculate on the type and characteristics of the SLV and the satellite.

New SIPRI publication on ATT-related outreach assistance in sub-Saharan Africa
SIPRI issued a new background paper: ATT-related outreach assistance in sub-Saharan Africa: identifying gaps and improving coordination by Mark Bromley and Christina Arabia.
Many states will require financial and technical assistance to help them implement the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). This need is particularly acute in sub-Saharan Africa where many states have been severely affected by the illicit trade in, and proliferation of, small arms and light weapons.
This background paper gives an overview of the ATT-relevant cooperation and assistance activities involving states in sub-Saharan Africa during 2011–15. In doing so, it provides suggestions for how states and regional, international and non-governmental organizations—as well the ATT Secretariat itself—could help to fill the gaps in the assistance provided thus far. The paper draws on a new online database of ATT-relevant cooperation and assistance activities that was jointly developed by SIPRI and the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa (UNREC).

New SIPRI publication on Russia's Arctic security policy
SIPRI issued a new policy paper: Russia's Arctic security policy: still quiet in the High North? by Ekaterina Klimenko.
As part of a wider, ongoing programme of military modernization, Russia has been strengthening its military and civil emergency forces in the Arctic. At the same time, many experts and policymakers have continued to view the region as a benign security environment.
However, against the background of the conflict in Ukraine and growing tensions between Russia and the West, Russia's military build-up in the Arctic has become a trigger for renewed concern regarding the potential militarization of the region. This policy paper centres on Russia's Arctic security policy and the possible changing security landscape in the Arctic.

FIHAV 2013 Opens Aiming at Attracting Foreign Investment
by Venus Carrillo Ortega
in Technologies of Communication and Media
Fleeing from the screens….
Private workers propose dialogue
It's not with Marco Rubio, it's with the Cuban government
June-July
Motivated perhaps by the call of the Cuban authorities towards greater openness to foreign investment in the island, more than a thousand 400 exhibitors from 65 nations participate from this Sunday in the XXXI International Trade Fair of Havana, FIHAV 2013 .
With the largest participation of the last decade, the event hosts about three thousand visitors, exhibitors, official delegations, representatives of world's commercial entities and diplomatic corps based in Havana , which confirms the growing interest of the international community to know what this small piece of land in the Caribbean has to offer.
At the opening of the meeting, Rodrigo Malmierca, Cuban Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment confirmed the will and decision of Cuba to "upgrade " its foreign investment policy by the important role of foreign capital in economic and industrial development .
This policy will allow Cuba to have a portfolio of projects to facilitate the identification of "serious partners" interested in working together with Cuban companies for mutually beneficial business through investments that bring technological innovation and create jobs, the Minister said.
An example the offensive Cuba deploys to attract foreign capital, is the Special Development Zone Mariel (ZEDM), whose "birth is a fact" with the entry into force of the regulatory standards barely two days ago.
About this mega project, Malmierca said that in January 2014 it will officially begin its duties in an area of 465.4 square kilometers, located in the province of Artemisa about 50 kilometers west of Havana city. There the Cuban government will establish special policies to attract investment based on environmentally sustainable development.
This monumental work that Cuba develops with financial support of the Brazilian Government will make available to its customers a wide infrastructure near the port of Mariel, which includes a container terminal, highway, railways, airports fast connection, power grids, water services and telecommunications.
As an appeal to global business, the MINCEX minister said the Cuban economy "is in the process of transformation, and maintains its vitality and growth by about three percent over the past 18 months," referring to the process called update of the Cuban economic model.
He noted that the model reaffirms socialism and planning as cornerstones for development, but at the same time recognizes and promotes non-state forms of property management such as cooperatives and self-employed, new actors in Cuba's economic scene to contribute to the liberation of productive forces, in conjunction with the socialist enterprise system.
So far, 113 non-agricultural cooperatives have been created in various sectors and there are over 400 000 self-employed people, since the implementation of the Guidelines of the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba, a sort of guide to restructure the ailing national economy.
After the opening speech, Ricardo Cabrisas, vice president of the Council of Ministers , proceeded to the traditional ribbon cutting to officially open the XXXI Havana Trade Fair, with the highest turnout in the last decade , and an increase of 20 percent over 2012 participation .
The Vice President, together with other state and the government authorities, visited the pavilions of Venezuela, Brazil, Russia and Mexico, Cuba important partners in its exchange with the outside. At the time, Cuban ministers of Energy and Industry, Agriculture and Food Industry, visited the stands for their sectors in the exhibition area of the host country.
On the opening day of the forum, Cabrisas also inaugurated a solar farm donated by China, which feed 50 percent of Expocuba facilities, traditional venue of the event located about 25 kilometers from the city center.
They also held the Sixth Session of the Cuba -Russia Business Committee, where both delegations reaffirmed, through the action plan for 2014, their interest in expediting the realization of joint projects in traditional sectors such as renewable energy, industry, tourism and biotechnology.
At the meeting, Cuba Textile Union and Russian firm Zao TextilMach Foreing Trade Company signed a cooperation protocol for the importation into the Island of spare parts and machinery.
According to the schedule for Monday, business meetings will be held with representatives from Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, as well as presentations on the taxation of foreign companies in Cuba and the legal framework for petroleum activities. They will as well have celebrations of National Days of Venezuela, China, Spain and Mexico.
Cubay Carta Blanca Rum Extra Viejo, one of the products the CUBARON Company promotes, will be presented at the fair with the participation of national and foreign press, and interested customers.
Until November ninth in Expocuba, traditional venue of the event, they will deploy a comprehensive business program and presentations of goods and services in the 25 exhibition halls. The closing ceremony is scheduled for Friday at the Conventions Center in Havana, while the public visitation will be on Saturday 9.

If you would rather keep it, it's fine especially if it's new and you paid for it. If you keep it, do not download AVG because 2 anti-virus programs will just cause trouble.
However, it doesn't do any good to have an anti-virus program if you don't keep it updated and run it.
So, go ahead and get Service Pack 2. Then run a full system scan with Norton, then post a HiJackThis log for me and I will give you my recommendations to help prevent this.
ok norton ran and found 0 threats. i guess thats right. i dont know about norton.
However, you still need Service Pack 2. You still just have Service Pack 1.
But, your system is clean for now. So here are my recommendations to help prevent this. You NEED service pack 2.
Firewall<= A firewall is definitely a must have. Three good free versions are Sygate, Kerio, and ZoneAlarm.
*NOTE* If you decide to use one of these firewalls and get Service Pack 2, you will need to disable the Windows Firewall.
You didn't have Service Pack 2 when you posted your last log and unless you've installed it since then you still don't.
i thought i did what u told me. it said downloading newest microsoft features. maybe i didnt get it. what about now?
After downloading the updates did you reboot your computer before posting the HiJackThis log? If not, then you may have it and it wasn't showing yet. If you have not rebooted your computer go ahead and do so then post a HiJackThis log and I'll see if you do have service pack 2.


The argument that calling a national emergency would be unwise is stating the case mildly for two reasons, first hard to call something an emergency when it's not unexpected and of the moment and secondly if Trump gets away with it, he's handed a tool to the Democrats to bypass the will of Congress the next time we have a disagreement. She knows that we need border security.
Democrats, who control the House, would not pass a bill allocating any of the $5.7 billion Trump demanded to build his southern border wall, which he believes is essential but his opponents say is an expensive and ineffective gimmick.
Most survey respondents - 73 percent - also said they want Trump to continue negotiating while keeping the government open, rather than forcing another shutdown when funding expires again in mid-February.
While White House officials cautioned that Trump's remarks were still being finalized, the president was expected to use some of his televised address to showcase a growing economy.
Trump Berto did not return a message left with her father.
'Dems do nothing. If there is no Wall, there is no Security. He has said the wall, which he promised in his 2016 campaign, is needed to deter illegal immigration and drugs.
Experts say that Trump may immediately face a legal battle if he opts to declare a national emergency.
The young boy is passionate about science and animals, who have been invited by the president, according to a statement released by the White House. He will also give an update on trade talks with the Chinese.
The issue has been ongoing for years, his parents said.
"What we'd like to do is, do it in the appropriation process", Shelby said on CNN's "State of the Union".
More soaking rain showers are likely Thursday before temperatures fall back to closer-to-normal cool February highs this weekend. This snow is the result of a Colorado low that will track over Northeastern Ontario Monday evening.
It all started with the photo of a chicken's egg, posted to Instagram account world_record_egg on January 4, 2019. The egg has only been around for about a month and already has set a world record and starred in a Super Bowl ad.
Trump has grown more sure of his own judgment and more cut off from anyone else's than at any point since taking office". The schedules show that Trump's first meeting of the day typically isn't until 11 or 11.30am.
The franchise has seen two sequels and multiple merchandise lines since then, and we now know that Toy Story 4 is on the way. In the trailer, Woody and Little Bo Peep are at a carnival waiting for Buzz, who said he would meet them there.

Keyper
Playing Time: 90 - 120 minutes
Designer: Richard Breese
Publisher: Game Salute
When one player places a keyple on a country board, another player can join them with a matching colored keyple on the first player's turn to the benefit of both players. In this way some players are likely to have played all their keyples before others. All keyples have the potential to work twice. If a player has played all of their keyples, but another player still has some, then on their turn the player with no remaining keyples can lay down one or more keyples on the country board they have claimed or in their village board to secure additional resources or actions. It can therefore be doubly beneficial to co-operate with your fellow players. The country boards are also noteworthy in that they can be manipulated and folded at the beginning of summer, autumn and winter to show one of four different permutations of fields for that season. A player will chose the one to suit their strategy, often hoping that another player will complement their choice. Certain fields on the country boards are available only in certain seasons, e.g., raw materials can be upgraded to finished goods only in spring and summer after which you can only convert using tiles in your own village. Gem mining occurs only in autumn and winter.
A player's strategy is likely to be influenced by which (seeded) spring country tiles they acquire and by the particular colored keyples they have available in the later seasons. Different combinations will encourage a player to develop their farm or village, help with their shipping or mining activities, and prepare for the seasonal fairs. Players constantly need to evaluate whether or not to join other players, when to claim a country board, whether to play on their own or another player's country board, when to use their own village, and whether to create a large or small team of keyples for the following season. The winner is the player to gain the most points, usually through pursuing at least a couple of the different strategies.

Nanocrafter
Nanocrafter is a game about science, puzzles, and, most of all, creativity! Nanocrafter is a synthetic biology game created to educate and entertain players while assisting scientists. Synthetic biology - using biological components to create nano-scale mechanisms - is a relatively new discipline with a wide variety of applications in biotechnology and medicine. Because the rules of the game simulation are based on the scientific rules of DNA interactions, solutions that players discover in-game can become candidates for validation in the lab. As players progress through the game, they learn how to utilize DNA strand displacement reactions to construct a variety of mechanisms that will assist them in solving the increasingly complex puzzles. Already, thousands of players have played and submitted hundreds of solutions to the weekly challenges.
Nanocrafter presents the intricate world of DNA biochemistry in a simple, approachable way. Players are treated to simple shapes and colors that intuitively illuminate the underlying scientific rules of the system. Crisp animations and tutorials help turn stochastic biological processes into straightforward game mechanics. Subtle hinting for possible interactions keep players from getting stuck without creating a cluttered screen. Clear objective pieces keep players focused on their goals.

Interim HealthCare Shines Spotlight on Heart Health in 2012 Mini-Documentary Video Series
SUNRISE, FL – March 9, 2012 – Interim HealthCare, the nation's first and finest healthcare franchise company, today launched the first of its 2012 mini-documentary video series, "Stories from Home." The mini-documentary highlights the benefits of receiving home care assistance after Interim HealthCare of Orlando, Florida client, Janet Parrott, suffered two heart attacks. The video is now available for viewing on Interim HealthCare's YouTube channel www.youtube.com/interimhealthcare.
The mini-documentary focuses on the true story of Janet, an Orlando Florida resident who found herself unable to do daily tasks after her heart attacks. For Janet, Interim CNA Brianne Lafond plays a key role in helping her maintain her independence and quality of life. During the documentary, Brianne shares how she has made a difference in the life of her client, from helping with household tasks to driving her to the grocery store and taking the extra time to provide companionship since Janet's family lives afar.
"When someone is struck with an ailment performing daily activities can be challenging," said Greg Schultz, Interim HealthCare of Orlando Franchisee. "At Interim HealthCare we were able to help Janet, not only with assistance in daily living, but we were able to provide her companionship to improve her quality of life.

Home nursing, therapy services and education are provided by skilled home health care clinicians.
"This documentary captures the emotional challenges and triumphs of Janet and truly shows that Interim HealthCare is there for families when it matters most," said Kathleen Gilmartin, President and CEO of Interim HealthCare Inc. "Many heart surgery patients return home not being able to do every day tasks they once did. That's where our attentive home care professionals step in and help patients maintain the same quality of life they are use to, in a more relaxed and personal environment."
Additional Interim HealthCare mini-documentaries, "Stories from Home," will debut throughout the year to focus on true stories of individuals who have been helped with home care and hospice services.
