Today is our 425th day back in Iraq.
There has been a new casualty in Afghanistan:
BRISTOL, R.I. -- An Army Green Beret from Rhode Island has been killed in Afghanistan just a month after he was honored at the historic Fourth of July parade in his hometown of Bristol.
The 7th Special Forces Group to which he was assigned said Sunday that Master Sgt. Peter Andrew McKenna Jr., 35, died Friday in Kabul during an attack on a NATO facility. The Pentagon said he was struck by enemy small arms fire.
McKenna, a 17-year Army veteran, had also served in Iraq and been awarded the Bronze Star with V device for heroism in combat operations, as well as the Meritorious Service Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. He was serving at the operations rank of first sergeant during his deployment in Afghanistan.
We find this morning's Cost of War passing through:
$ 1, 633, 719, 425, 000 .00
So...there's a candidate out there that's starting to release some of his future plans. Not surprisingly, they call for more war and killing.
WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is outlining a foreign policy in which the United States would put ground troops in the fight against Islamic State militants and demand money from Middle East countries supported by the U.S.
On defeating Islamic State militants, Trump said the key is to take away their wealth by taking back the oil fields under their control in Iraq. Told by "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd that such a move could require ground troops, Trump responded, "That's OK." He said the Iraqis should be given "something" from their oil fields but, in an apparent reference to Iraq War veterans, "we should definitely take back money for our soldiers."
"We've had soldiers that were so badly hurt and killed," he said. "I want their families to get something. Wounded warriors all over the place. They got nothing. And they can't even say we had a victory."
Trump in the past has accused Saudi Arabia of being the world's biggest funder of terrorism. On Sunday, he said the Gulf nation should be paying the U.S. because it wouldn't exist without American support. And, Trump said, the only reason the U.S. supports Saudi Arabia is because it needs the oil.
"Now, we don't need the oil so much," he said in an apparent reference to U.S. oil and gas production. "And if we let our people really go, we wouldn't need the oil at all. And we could let everybody else fight it out."
Trump said Saudi Arabia is going to need help fighting against the kinds of militants who have targeted neighbouring Yemen. He said he would assist the Saudis in that event, albeit reluctantly and for a price.
"We defend Saudi Arabia. We send our ships. We send our planes. Every time there's a little ruckus, we send those ships and those planes. We get nothing. Why? They're making a billion a day. We get nothing. And this is the problem with the world," he said.
Ask who he talks to for military advice, Trump said he watches the news shows and cited former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton ("a tough cookie") and retired Army Col. Jack Jacobs ("a good guy") as two examples of people who impress him.
Speaking of impressive former leaders, I'm impressed by the posturing of a former presidential candidate over the expansion of Arlington National Cemetery. It is a finite resource, after all, and some day it's going to be completely full of dead soldiers. Senator McCain, among others, is up in arms that the Virginia DOT wants to build a bus facility of some sort on some abutting Navy land that has recently come available. I pointed out in a military forum that it's too bad that we're all clamoring for more space to bury our war dead instead of clamoring not to get them killed in the first place. Of course, the response was deafening.
WASHINGTON � An expansion of Arlington National Cemetery could be scaled back because the county and state of Virginia want to build a bus facility, according to Sen. John McCain.
McCain sent a letter to Army Secretary John McHugh on Wednesday calling the possibility "shameful" and urging the service to maximize the number of plots in the project.
The national cemetery could reach capacity within a decade and is encouraging cremations and enforcing strict burial regulations to save space. But the Navy Annex facility that once overlooked the Pentagon has been demolished and offers an opportunity for an additional 7,600 internment sites.
"It would be shameful to have to tell the family of a fallen American hero that there is no space available at Arlington National Cemetery, because rather than expand its grounds, Arlington County and the Virginia Department of Transportation decided to build a bus maintenance facility," McCain wrote in a copy of the letter to McHugh shared with media.
The county and state want to realign Columbia Pike, a state highway, in a way that leaves space for the busing facility, he wrote.
Arlington County did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday afternoon.
"As you proceed with discussions on this matter � I encourage you to pursue a solution that maximizes property for the cemetery and restricts incompatible use, and to use whatever tools available to you to ensure this outcome," McCain told McHugh.
Of course, our ongoing war and our dead soldiers aren't the only things that are being used as pawns and playthings in the global game...Russia never really goes away, does it? It sure feels like NATO can't get enough of hitting a hornet's nest with a baseball bat. Believe it or not, I have actually seen that happen in real life. (It was a canoe paddle, though.) Trust me, it didn't end well for anyone involved.
BRUSSELS -- The increase in the scale and number of military exercises being undertaken by NATO and Russia is making armed conflict in Europe more likely, a think tank warned Wednesday.
Ian Kearns, director of the London-based European Leadership Network, told The Associated Press that the war games "are contributing to a climate of mistrust" that have "on occasion become the focal point for some quite close encounters between the NATO and Russian militaries."
Kearns is one of the co-authors of an ELN study, which looked in detail at two military exercises held this year by Russia and NATO and found signs that "Russia is preparing for a conflict with NATO, and NATO is preparing for a possible confrontation with Russia."
The exercises, according to the ELN, "can feed uncertainty" and heighten the risk of "dangerous military encounters."
Relations between Russia and the West have been in the deep freeze since Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine last year. The ELN study said NATO plans approximately 270 exercises this year, while Russia has announced 4,000 drills at all levels.
The Russian exercise in March involved 80,000 personnel, while NATO's Allied Shield in June mobilized 15,000 people from 19 NATO countries and three partner states.
Finally this morning, and I regret that it seems to be a mere afterthought, there's been a significant bombing in Baghdad. Funny thing - these never actually stopped after we left. The media stopped covering them, is all.

The advertising giant posted a 1.9% rise in revenue to £7.4 billion in the first six months of the year, but like-for-like net sales fell 0.5%.
As a result, WPP forecasts that full-year like-for-like revenue and net sales will come in between zero and 1% growth.
It had previously pencilled in 2% growth.
Current trading is also challenging, WPP added, with all regions – except the United Kingdom, Latin America and Central & Eastern Europe – showing lower revenue in July compared with the same month in 2016.
Pre-tax profit rose more than 52% to £779 million in the period.
Shares in WPP tumbled 10% in early morning trading to 1,438p as investors digested the news.


If you are missing one or more teeth, why would you choose a tooth replacement that only does half the job? Instead, pick a solution that gives you back the missing tooth as well as its root. Dental implants are the only comprehensive option available today. People who are fit to undergo the procedure for dental implants shouldn't wait to get started and enjoy a smile that looks — and works — just like it should. Dr. Richardson provides dental implants in Melbourne, FL!
When you're missing teeth, you know dental implants are a highly-recommended solution. But do you know exactly why they're the best option available today? It's because nothing else replaces the missing tooth as well as its root like dental implants. They are small posts made of titanium, a material that has a miraculous ability: it is able to fuse with bone matter. That means that over a period of six to eight months, the jaw bone gradually grows around the dental implant. Once this process, known as osseointegration, is complete, the dental implant is as strong as any other bone in your body.
Dental implants are a natural-looking solution to tooth loss. There's no need to worry that your teeth will fall out at inopportune moments, like when you're in the middle of speaking. Eating is also just as easy as before your tooth loss, since the dental implant holds the tooth replacement securely in place. And because patients can resume chewing, speaking, and smiling just like before, dental implants drastically improve the self-confidence of people dealing with missing teeth — and that's priceless.
There's no need to worry with messy denture creams.
The prosthetic device fits just like it should from day one, with reduced need for relines or refitting.
Stimulation from the implants improves oral health.
In eligible candidates, dental implants enjoy a success rate of up to 95 percent. Patients should be in good oral and overall health to undergo the procedure for dental implants. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Richardson to discuss your candidacy for implant dentistry.
Once you have your dental implants, you should maintain excellent oral hygiene to ensure their continued success. In rare instances, a condition known as peri-implantitis can cause initially successful dental implants to fail. Protect your dental implants by maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco, and keeping up with your good dental hygiene habits at home. Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup and fight gum infection.
We want to help you enjoy the benefits of a complete, healthy smile. Contact Dr. Richardson's office and schedule an appointment to discuss your tooth replacement today! Your dentist can determine your eligibility for implant dentistry and help you decide which option is best for you and your smile.


There are a range of tools and techniques to help organisations with strategic planning. In fact, there's so much choice, it can be quite daunting to decide which ones to use, and when.
This section introduces some of the tools most widely used by voluntary and community organisations. We've suggested which parts of the strategic planning process they could be used for and list some pros and cons to each one. You can also read other people's views on the tools and contribute your own thoughts. There may be other tools and techniques that have worked for you, which you might like to share too. If you think a tool is missing from this list, email us.
When you're thinking of using a tool, you need to be clear about what you want to achieve with it. Sometimes, it can be all too easy to be led by a tool, rather than making it suit your needs. To ensure a tool is going to do the right job, you may want to adapt it, or you could even create your own tool to get the results you want.
The financial costs, time and skills required by different tools are also important things to consider.

Since the establishment of the President's Q&A press conference dubbed "The Direct Line" by the Kremlin administration, African media have been missing out. The simple reason is that the Russian Foreign Ministry has not granted accreditation to African media to work in the Russian Federation.
In practice, Russians have not encouraged and supported the idea of African media that could, in a way, present the positive changes and emerging economic opportunities in the Russian Federation to the general reading public, political elite and business community in Africa. Instead, they often talk about anti-Russian propaganda by western media in Africa.
In March 2018, the Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department, Artyom Kozhin, reassured in his media briefing that the Russian Federation would prioritise media, art and culture among several other programmes in efforts aimed at consolidating cooperation with African countries.
While the Foreign Ministry has accredited media from the United States, Europe and Asian countries, none came from Africa that comprises 54 states and most especially now when Russia is making efforts strengthening its relations with the continent.
According to Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, a record number of 1,702 journalists were accredited to Russian President Vladimir Putin's press conference held December 20.
Dmitry Peskov has noted the openness of the press conference of President Vladimir Putin when he said "Of course, there is no differentiation, and they cannot be. We are guided by the law on media that guarantees same access to the authorities, to all events for all accredited media. We do not impose any restrictions, and the president does not single out any particular countries."
The fact that the Kremlin "considers it possible to create such comfortable conditions for work even for those media that cannot be described as objective" represents a reason for pride, the Kremlin spokesman noted, adding "Overall, 99.9% of journalists who requested accreditation, got it."
"We traditionally ask our Foreign Ministry to assist in providing an easier access to entry visas for those foreign journalists who do not work here on a permanent basis," Peskov explained. Among accredited journalists are representatives of Asia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and Europe, the range is very wide, and there is, of course, great interest."
President Vladimir Putin holds his annual year-end news conference for both Russian and foreign journalists to sum up each year's results and plans in the subsequent years. This year was Putin's first Q&A marathon during his new six-year presidential term and the 16th since 2001. Putin has answered the questions of the country's citizens 11 times as the president and four times as the prime minister.
The shortest of these news conferences lasted for 1 hour and 35 minutes back in 2001, while the 2013 news conference set the record as being the longest one, lasting for 4 hours and 48 minutes. The first Q&A session with the Russian president was held on December 24, 2001.


:Simon allegedly shot Jose in a yard on Luna de Miel.
Simon and Jose were friends for years, they worked together doing landscape jobs — until they both fell in love with the same woman. Her name is Aurora.
On December 12, 1988, both men were due to work on an estate in Rancho Santa Fe, on a road named Luna de Miel — ironically, this translates as Honeymoon. So Simon knew where he could find Jose that day. The homeowner said she saw a white truck pull up, driven by Simon's brother, and Simon got out. Jose saw him draw a pistol from his waistband and turned to run. Simon fired 5 shots from a .22 caliber revolver and Jose suffered three bullet wounds. Simon got back into the white truck which drove away, according to the homeowner-witness who called 911.
Deputies found the abandoned truck but the gun has never been found. Simon Loredo Mayo, who was 28 and lived in Escondido at the time, disappeared. The victim Jose survived.
"It was never a whodunnit, it was where is he," said deputy district attorney Keith Watanabe.
This cold-case attempted-murder from 1988 heated up 30 years later, in December of 2018. Recently, San Diego County Sheriff's cold case homicide detectives found Simon Loredo Mayo because he registered a vehicle in Texas and used the same name he was using in 1988.
Keith Watanabe revealed that there was "an error in the original arrest warrant" which probably affected results when law enforcement were searching databases, earlier.
On December 11, 2018, the San Diego prosecutor travelled to Texas, and he was present when local authorities arrested their suspect at a construction site. Watanabe was there when the suspect was questioned. Simon Loredo Mayo allegedly admitted fleeing to Mexico, and that he married the woman named Aurora; she reportedly still lives in Mexico. The fugitive also lived in Florida and South Carolina, it is alleged.
Because of his work commitments, Jose was not there when Simon Loredo Mayo, 58, was first brought before a judge last week, on January 17, 2019. Mayo was assisted by a Spanish speaking interpreter, and represented by a public defender, and pleaded not guilty to two felonies: attempted murder and assault with firearm on a person.
Mayo is described in jail records as Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall and 170 pounds. He is held in lieu of $1 million bail.
The homeowner witness was born in 1939 and she is dead, the prosecutor said. The case will be prosecuted under law that was in effect in 1988, and there is no statute of limitations on aidor and abettor to attempted murder, Watanabe said after the arraignment.The alleged get-away driver, the brother of Simon Loredo Mayo, reportedly still lives in San Diego County.
Simon Loredo Mayo is next expected in court on Friday January 25 to confirm a date for preliminary hearing.
Jan. 22, 2019 @ 3:53 p.m.
Jan. 23, 2019 @ 7:21 a.m.
Seems to be a cultural thing in some. It is all about the "ownership" of a woman.
Jan. 25, 2019 @ 10:32 a.m.
At a hearing this morning, Simon Mayo was represented by private criminal defense attorney Dan Greene. His bail remains at $1 million. Defendant Mayo is next due in court on March 12, 2019, to set a date for preliminary hearing.


Silly sing-alongs, games, and heart-to-heart conversations – they all sound like scenes from a family room, but more often than not, they happen in your family's car. The right family car can make your life easier, with enough space for everyone and their gear, the right tech to keep everyone safe, and handy features that keep everyone connected and entertained.
We created our Best Cars for Families awards to highlight the family cars, SUVs, and minivans that truly make family life better. Covering 11 different automotive segments, there's sure to be an award winner that works for your family.
To choose our award winners, we looked at 129 new cars, SUVs, and minivans from the 2019 model year. Our award methodology combines professional automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, seating and cargo volume, and the availability of family-friendly features. Within each of the 11 automotive classes covered by our awards, the vehicle with the highest composite score is named the Best Car for Families in that category.
It's easy for an automaker to slap a rear-seat DVD player and a couple of screens in the backseat of a car and brand it for families. However, as the U.S. News team evaluates hundreds of cars each year, we've found that some family-friendly features are more useful than others.
Teen controls are among the more useful features. These controls, either through the car's key or through an app or telematic system, can help parents develop good habits in their teen drivers. Some systems give you reports on speed and hard braking, as in the Chevy Traverse. Others, like the system in the Ford Edge and Ford Expedition, limit stereo volume or won't let the stereo turn on until all seat belts are buckled. Systems like the ones available in the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Acura RDX, Honda Accord, and Honda Odyssey text you alerts when the car is driven past a certain time of night, above a certain speed, or outside of a geographic area you set. Features like this not only let you monitor teen drivers but can also help you keep an eye on caregivers for little kids or older adults who might be using the family car.
Anyone who has ever wrestled with a squirmy toddler while trying to load groceries will appreciate the hands-free cargo door on the Ford Edge and Expedition, Chevrolet Traverse, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, Acura RDX, BMW 5 Series, and Honda Odyssey. Long road trips fly by with minimal complaining when you have in-car Wi-Fi, which most of our winners do.
All of the winning vehicles have top-notch crash test scores, but we also factor in safety features that can prevent a crash, like automatic forward and rear braking, as well as lane keep assist. A 360-degree camera system is great for checking all around your car, especially in environments where little kids may get too close – like a daycare or preschool parking lot.
Then there are features that just take care of you, like the incredible optional sound system in the Acura RDX, the road-carving abilities of the BMW 5 Series, and the 577-horsepower in the AMG trim of the Mercedes-Benz GLE.
Mostly, though, there's just a certain thrill that comes from having a car that's a worthy partner for your family, making your life easier by providing the tools you need to forget about your car, and focus on your family.


What are the demographics of people that buy freelance services?
Do you ever wonder just how big the freelance industry is?
Do you know of any up to date infographics, sites or blogs that share any info on the freelance industry such as which age group are most likely to use a freelancer or which age group of people are most like to be a freelancer?
Or which country has the most amount of freelancers in it, India, Pakistan and other eastern countries. Or is it America and Europe and other western countries? Does anyone know where I can find out information like that?
I done some digging around. And according to this post, there are 53 million people doing freelance work in the US – 34% of the national workforce. It goes on to say that freelancers contribute an estimated $715 billion in revenue to the economy.
It also goes on to say that there are approximately 1.4 million British freelancers working across all sectors which has grown 14% in the past 10 years and the whole UK freelance industry is worth around £21 billion. Hey we're only an island compared to the US!
That post states some shocking statistics on the freelance industry. But nothing is said about the demographics on the age groups. I'd like to know what the age groups of freelancers is and which age group has the most freelancers.
What I'm trying to find out is whether the majority of freelancers are Millennials (21-33), Gen-X (34-49), Baby boomers (50-67) or Matures (68+). I would imagine myself, that the majority of freelancer today are the Millennials.
And do you know anywhere I can find out this?
You are talking about customer personas, there are really helpful to have in any marketing campaign or any sales you may do online. The more you know about your customers the more you can appeal to their understanding and needs.
I think you are right, most freelancers are probably Millennials and Generation X. But as far as the buyers go I think Millennials are not that numerous and they don't have too big of a budget.
My best bet is that buyers are probably Generation X but a huge part of them are not the decision makers, especially for big companies that may be the Baby boomers.
So take it this way, to land "whales" type clients you need to appeal to Generation X but also take in mind the mentality of Baby boomers since they may have the last word in lots of projects.
PS: made some searches just now, didn't found much about the personas of people buying online freelance services. Please share if you find something people. Cheers.
Thanks Cristian! Yes, I guess you are right, in that I'm referring to personas and the age groups. I'm really interested to know which age groups are more likely to be freelancers and which age groups are more likely to use a freelancer. I can only assume based on the generality that the younger crowd are more the ones that freelancing appeals to and the older crowds the ones that that are most likely to buy freelance services. The reason I want to know is that there's a couple services I'm looking to put up that can appeal to both younger and older generations but needs to be worded in such a way as to make it most appealing to most of the people. Depending on their generation!
Cristian yes I agree with what you have said there, I suspect you are spot on. The final decision makers would be the Baby Boomers, my parents generation and then the people doing the researching into the services and advising the Baby Boomers would be my generation which is Generation X and Millennials.
Mike if you are looking for the right wording I would target Generation X and Millennials. Baby Boomers might find it all a little overwhelming and look to Generation X and Z for guidance.
At least that is what happens with us in our family my dad always asks me and my sister for any advice about online things.
This is according to Elance geo stats but i didn't find exactly what age do the freelancers have but i would say that most of them are between 20 and 35 years. From what I can see, the age limit is decreasing because the fellas are more tech savy than before.
This is an interesting topic because my impression is that Asia has the most number of freelancers. Ours is a third world and it is not really impressive when it comes to technical people. But I'm sure that there are more freelancers here than in any other small country in Asia. Freelancing is a now a worldwide phenomenon that people are starting to cultivate.

What They Voted For (No, Really)
A couple points come to mind:
An evangelist pastor criticized religious leaders who are "trading their moral core" by supporting the Trump administration solely due to their stance on abortion.
Doug Pagitt, a Minneapolis-based pastor and executive director of Vote Common Good, wrote in USA Today Sunday that white Evangelicals are blindly support Trump and the GOP-led Congress.
(Gstalter)
First, the question of evangelicals cleaning up their own houses, as such, is fraught and grim.
And for a bonus, there is the mystery of what happened in the last copy edits of the first two paragraphs of the the article.

The Silence of Cowardice
#AmericanAtrocity | #WhatTheyVotedFor
This spectacle is precisely what it looks like. Jim "The Animal"α Acosta tweeted, Friday—
For the fourth straight day there was no WH briefing. No officials to explain how the admin plans to return the separated kids to their parents. This is how the briefing room looks.. a few reporters waiting for answers that aren't coming yet. #whereistheplan #whereispresssec
—and that is the Show. Regardless of whether Sarah Huckabee Sanders is able to cope with her job or, after all this, notβ, the Trump administration has skipped out on the daily briefing since, and every little bauble of temptation, we look at, each pretense of a shiny new thing we give our attention, is not the American atrocity playing out before our eyes.
α See Gstalter, whose ironic headline for The Hill, "Fox News' Jesse Watters: Reporters who act like 'a wild animal' should lose press passes", ought to make some sort of point.
β See, Nuzzi, "CNN reported that Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn't want to do the briefing alone, and was waiting for Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to arrive and enter the room with her". Nor should anyone pass over the point that the Nielsen briefing on Monday was the last before the press room silence Acosta records.

What They Voted For: Screaming, Flaming Handbasket
This is one of those that doesn't so much go downhill from there, but, rather, is a screaming, flaming handbasket in medias res:
On Monday, new reporting continued to reveal the realities of the Trump administration policy of forcibly separating children from their adult guardians who cross the border without U.S. citizenship. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly are both on record endorsing the practice as a means of deterring undocumented immigrants from entering the country.
Yet the president and members of his staff have repeatedly and falsely blamed Congress—in particular congressional Democrats—for the nearly-2,000 children who have reportedly been taken into federal custody in just the last six weeks.
(Nuzzi)
The flashback, then:
When top members of Donald Trump's team add the word "period" to their most outlandish claims, it's a safe bet they know they're lying. The day after the president's inauguration, for example, then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer angrily told reporters, "This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration—period."
(Benen)
Something about ominous setups goes here; unfortunately, all we find is a sick punch line:
Nielsen, in a speech to the National Sheriffs' Association in New Orleans, said the children are provided food, medical attention, education and anything else they might need.
"We have to do our job. We will not apologize for doing our job," she said. "This administration has a simple message—If you cross the border illegally, we will prosecute you."
Nielsen spoke hours after taking to Twitter to vehemently deny that her department's border policy dictates separation of children from their parents.
"We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period," Nielsen tweeted late Sunday.

A Minor Detail (Tennessee Six)
Perhaps it seems nitpickety, but if we attend the setup from Steve Benen—
In the aftermath of the deadly school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, opponents of gun reforms came up with quite a few culprits to blame for the bloodshed. None of them, of course, included easy access to firearms.
The public should blame the number of doors at the school, for example. And abortion. And video games. And Ritalin, secularism, Common Core, and trench coats.
And while some of this was expected—the right consistently tries to steer public discussions away from guns after mass shootings—Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) broke new ground when she tried to connect school shootings and porn.
—and the detail via Jennifer Bendery—
During a meeting last week with local pastors, Black raised the issue of gun violence in schools and why it keeps happening.
"Pornography," she said.
"It's available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there's pornography there," she continued. "All of this is available without parental guidance. I think that is a big part of the root cause."
—it seems well enough to note Mr. Benen's punch line—
Her argument raised a variety of questions, though I'm inclined to start with this one: where exactly is Diane Black buying her groceries?
—might be leading with the wrong question. To the other, who really wants to make the point when the result means listening to a bunch of Republicans talking about internet pornography.

Should occasion arise to suggest Eight Dollar Testicle is not #MyNextBandName, well, of course we can blame Adam. Kind of like Venkman and Jell-O, that way; there is always room to blame Adam. The eternal question, of course, is do bugs have nuts.

What They Voted For: Trump Family Values
#familyvalues | #WhatTheyVotedFor
Ah! scandal! Or, via Page Six:
Years before Vanessa Trump filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr., their marriage was rocked when—around the time she was pregnant with their third child—he cheated on her with a contestant from "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Page Six has exclusively learned that Don Jr.—then a so-called "adviser" on the NBC show—fell for busty Danity Kane star Aubrey O'Day while filming "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2011.
Sources say that Vanessa—who filed for divorce from President Donald Trump's eldest son last week after 13 years of marriage—was devastated when he told her that he planned to leave her for O'Day.
Vanessa was pregnant with their third child, Tristan, around that time.
That was yesterday; the New York Post gossip team rolls on, today asking, "Is Aubrey O'Day's song 'DJT' about Donald Trump Jr.?"
What will the post-presidential reality show be called? Trump Family Scandals? Trump Shore? The Real Assholes of Manhattan? The Ballad of "Donny Smalls"?
Additionally, it is worth noting that apparently we now must give a damn about who Aubrey O'Day is. That is to say, branded celebrity is easy enough to avoid until it isn't, and the crossing of such thresholds ought to count for something.

Full Color Horror: Abdul Masood Begum (d. 14 September 2017)
[#Rohingya]
This is what you are looking at:
The wooden boat packed with Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar was a few meters (yards) away from shore in Bangladesh on Thursday when it capsized.
AP photographer Dar Yasin says what happened next will haunt him: a young mother's horrified discovery that her infant son, Abdul Masood, had drowned in the waist-high waters.
Hanida Begum's wails filled the air as she mourned her dead boy.
She had given birth to twin boys just 40 days ago. Now one was gone.
"She kept on kissing him. She held him and kept kissing his body," Yasin said.
(Associated Press, "Photo")
And this is why we see it:
Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims have been called the world's most persecuted minority, a people without a country.
In the last two weeks, in numbers estimated to be nearing 300,000, Rohingya have been fleeing for their lives into already-crowded refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh.
It is the third such mass exodus in four decades.
An estimated 1 million to 1.2 million people in Myanmar's western state of Rakhine self-identify as Rohingya. The government of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, refuses to recognize them as one of the country's 135 lawful ethnic minorities, instead calling them Bengalis, with the implication that their native land is in Bangladesh and they are illegally settled in Myanmar. They are similarly unwelcome in Bangladesh. What has made the situation particularly dire for the Rohingya was the passage in 1982 of a citizenship law that had the practical effect of making most of them stateless and depriving them of most of their civil rights along with economic opportunities. They are legally restricted in their right to travel, to marry and in the number of children they can have. In practical terms, access to decent education and health care, as well as employment, is also limited.
(Associated Press, "Explains")

Nearly three weeks into a mass exodus of Rohingya fleeing violence in Myanmar, thousands were still flooding across the border Thursday in search of help and safety in teeming refugee settlements in Bangladesh.

What They Vote For (Yellowhammer Special)
#supremacism | #WhatTheyVotedFor
This is the sort of thing only voters can achieve:
Rep. Mo Brooks is moving on after a distant third-place finish in the Republican primary on Tuesday for the Alabama Senate special election.
And Brooks is doing that without endorsing either of the two men, Judge Roy Moore and appointed Sen. Luther Strange, who beat him to enter a runoff on Sept. 26 to decide the GOP nominee.
(Connolly)
More precisely: After rejecting Rep. Mo Brooks to replace Attorney General and former U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions, voters find themselves presented with a choice between the disgraceful Luther Strange and the disgraced Roy Moore, and history reminds that state voters have already re-elected the twice-disgraced former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court after his first tumble from grace for abuse of authority. What chance does Luther Strange have? All he ever did was take his dispute against human rights, on behalf of religious supremacism, to the Supreme Court and lose.

Salesforce Essentials is the first release by the cloud customer relationship management company that is designed expressly for small businesses.
Priced far less than the standard CRM platform, Essentials also incorporates the company's Trailhead system of self-guided tutorials limiting, if not eliminating, the need for separate instruction in how to use the cloud CRM service.
One unusual aspect of Essentials is that it is truly aimed at small businesses, not the broader, small-to-medium size (SMB) market. That's because Essentials is designed for a maximum of ten users at $25 per month each based on a standard Software-as-a-Service model. There is also a free one-month trial version.
"We're really targeted at companies with 1 to 25 employees, that's the sweet spot of emerging businesses that are small for now," Marie Rosecrans, senior vice president of small business marketing at Salesforce, told eWEEK. A company with more than ten employees is still a potential customer for Essentials because those not involved with the sales process wouldn't need to use it.
Rosencrans agreed. "Essentials is built on the Salesforce platform, all their data is already there, so there is a seamless path or transition for moving up from there," she said.
Hinting at other "Essentials" apps to follow, Salesforce said the initial release includes two apps, Sales Cloud Essentials and Service Cloud Essentials, both available now. Salesforce is also encouraging developers to contribute apps to the Small Business Hub of its AppExchange online store, including ones designed to work with Essentials.
Sales Cloud Essentials offers companies a comprehensive view of their customers including activity history, key contacts, customer communications and internal account discussions available from one console or onscreen view. Everything in Sales Cloud Essentials is also accessible from a Salesforce mobile app.
Service teams can use Service Cloud Essentials to setup helpdesks "instantly", according to Salesforce, and offer customers more personalized service. The Salesforce Lightning Service Console that is included with Cloud Essentials, gives service agents a 360-degree view of every customer interaction in a unified desktop view along with the ability to resolve issues faster whether customers reach out via phone, email, Twitter or Facebook. There is also a Service Cloud mobile app.
Just like the standard Salesforce.com platform used by large businesses, Essentials includes Einstein artificial intelligence features such as Einstein Activity Capture that automates data entry saving sales reps performing that constant chore. All communication with customers and potential customers is captured and accessible from within Essentials. Emails from customers, for example, are automatically added to customer records.
Salesforce said research indicates small business teams spend 23 percent of their workdays on average manually inputting data, time that could otherwise be spent finding new customers and serving existing ones.
In a demonstration for eWEEK, Salesforce showed how Trailhead guides users through the steps needed to set up the system to track the sales process through different stages such as meeting the client, negotiation, and follow up.
"We've prioritized what's in the different sections based on what high-performing companies tell us they do to be successful," said Elvis Greer, a director of product marketing at Salesforce.

'Our hospital beds are full, we're short staffed,' increasing ER wait times during Omicron surge
by: Mary Calkins
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)– COVID-19 has put tremendous stress on hospitals since the beginning of the pandemic. Emergency room doctors say they're dealing with a double edged sword– an influx of COVID patients and a depletion of hospital staff.
"With regard to the emergency departments specifically, Omicron has been the worst we've seen thus far in the pandemic," Vice Chair of Clinical Operations for the Dept. of Emergency Medicine at AU, Dr. Stephen Shiver said.
Is headache a symptom of the omicron COVID variant?
Omicron is the most transmissible variant we've seen. More patients are headed to the E.R. with less people to see them and less places to put them.
"We're trying as hard as we can, but basically all of our hospital beds are full, we're short staffed from a combination of honestly a lot of hospital workers and staff got beat up over these past two years and a lot of them left medicine. But secondary, a lot of them are out themselves being sick," Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at AU, Dr. Jedidiah Ballard.
This has drastically increased wait times.
"We have had times during the Omicron surge that we've had 40 plus patients in our waiting room and wait times of even 10 or more hours which has been unheard of in the past. It's something new that we're all having to deal with in real time," Dr. Shiver said.
"Right now our wait times are pretty atrocious. Somedays it's between 8 and 12 hours depending on what you're showing up for," Dr. Ballard said.
So if you have Omicron, when should you go to the ER?
Infectious disease expert says omicron may be a gift
"The biggest reason to come to the emergency department would be shortness of breath," Dr. Shiver said.
Dr. Shiver says that means difficulty breathing to the point you can't do your daily activities, or hold a normal conversation.
He says you should go if you're in a severely altered mental state, experiencing extreme chest pain, or dehydration from gastrointestinal symptoms.
"The bottom line is there really are only a few reasons that would require an emergency department visit [for Omicron infection]," Dr. Shiver said.
These physicians say those who have received the COVID vaccine generally do not require hospitalization at all.
Dr. Shiver says there is a 'great deal of misinformation' concerning COVID-19 vaccines.
"Even with the Omicron variant, those that have been fully vaccinated are much better off than unvaccinated individuals," Dr. Shiver said. "Vaccinated individuals may get infected with COVID-19, but they are much less likely to develop severe, life-threatening infections."
Dr. Ballard adds that those who are vaccinated and have a breakthrough infection, "They just feel bad, they have a cold, they have COVID. But they're not getting sick, they're not going on a ventilator, they're not dying. That is what the vaccine is doing."

Netanyahu: Proud to be Your Prime Minister
"I thank you for giving me the opportunity for a third time to lead the State of Israel," says Netanyahu in victory speech.
Elad Benari
Likud PartyBenjamin NetanyahuElections 2013
Netanyahu speaks after electionsFlash 90
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who will head a large but weaker Likud party in the new Knesset, gave a victory speech at his party's headquarters on Tuesday night.
"You have once again proved that Israel is a vibrant, dynamic, exemplary democracy, and I am proud to be your Prime Minister, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity for a third time to lead the State of Israel," Netanyahu told the Israeli public. "This is a great honor but also a great responsibility."
Netanyahu said that he plans to form a government that will be based on several key principles.
These principles, he said, are maintaining a powerful stance in the face of security challenges, preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, fiscal responsibility in the wake of the global financial crisis, political responsibility in striving for true peace, working towards equal sharing of the burden, reducing the cost of living and reducing the cost of housing in Israel.
"I see many partners in our mission and, by joining hands in a wide coalition we can succeed," Netanyahu said, adding, "I believe that the results of the election are an opportunity to make the changes that the people of Israel are longing for."
Exit polls released after the polls closed indicated that the joint Likud Beytenu list will achieve 31 seats, significantly lower than the 42 that the Likud and Yisrael Beytenu had in the outgoing Knesset.
Yesh Atid (Future) headed by Yair Lapid surpassed all its achievements in previous surveys and has earned 18-19 seats, putting it in second place.
The Labor party was in third with 17, and the Bayit Yehudi and Shas were neck and neck for fourth.
Netanyahu released a statement shortly after the polls were published, indicating he would immediately begin working to form as wide a coalition as possible.
"I want to thank the millions of Israeli citizens who exercised their democratic right today," said Netanyahu in the statement that was posted to his Facebook page.
"The results of the exit polls make it clear that Israeli citizens stated that they want me to continue to serve as Prime Minister of Israel, and that should I form as broad a government as possible."
"The emerging results are a great opportunity for many changes for all Israeli citizens. The election is behind us and there are many complex challenges ahead. Tonight I will begin the efforts to build the widest coalition possible," said Netanyahu.
In another statement posted several minutes later, Netanyahu indicated that he had already spoken to Lapid and told him that "we have an opportunity to do great things for Israel."

Chalfant earns All-American honors with sixth-place finish at NCAA Wrestling Championships
March 22, 2014 Dustin Dopirak Just sayin' Comments Off on Chalfant earns All-American honors with sixth-place finish at NCAA Wrestling Championships
Indiana Adam Chalfant is an All-American, Placing Sixth at NCAAs
OKLAHOMA CITY – Hoosier heavyweight Adam Chalfant finished sixth at the 2014 NCAA Wrestling Championships, becoming Indiana's first wrestling All-American since Ricky Alcala and Matt Powless did so in 2011. Chalfant is the 51st different Hoosier to reach the All-American stand, combining to accumulate 77 All-America recognitions in school history.
Chalfant wraps up his Hoosier career with an overall record of 78-30, including a 28-6 mark in 2013-14.

5th Place Bout – #7-seed Mike McClure (Michigan State) dec. #3-seed Adam Chalfant (IU), 3-2
Chalfant started off his final day with a bang, blasting a double leg driving Northwestern's Mike McMullan to his back less than 10 seconds into the bout. McMullan rode the inertia, however, and rolled through the attempted takedown to end up on top of Chalfant and record the pin at 0:18.
It was another conference foe for Chalfant in the fifth-place bout, Michigan State's Mike McClure. Points were at a premium in the one as a pair of escapes were the only tallies entering the third period locked up at 1-1. Chalfant took a shot late in the frame, but was blocked and then re-shot on by McClure for a Spartan takedown. After a quick escape Chalfant fired off a flurry of shots before ultimately falling 3-2.
SESSION IV RECAP
Third-seeded Chalfant took on the #2-seed, Nick Gwiazdowski of North Carolina State, in the championship semifinals Fridaynight on ESPN. Chalfant quickly erased a first-period takedown by Gwiazdowski, flopping position with a reversal just six seconds later.
Both heavyweights were able to escape from the bottom position to start the second and third periods, respectively. Gwiazdowski then took advantage of a back pedal stumble from Chalfant, pouncing on him for the go-ahead takedown with 43 seconds remaining in the third frame. Chalfant broke free with ten ticks left but couldn't chase down the retreating Gwiazdowski in the 5-4 defeat.
Fellow fifth-year senior Ryan LeBlanc advanced to Session IV as well. He battled in the round of 12 for the right to be named an All-American. Northwestern's Pierce Harger stood in the way to the stand, however, posting a 4-0 decision over LeBlanc.
LeBlanc concludes his senior campaign with a record of 38-15 and leaves IU owning an overall career mark of 103-51 as a three-time NCAA Qualifier.
SESSION III RECAP
Redshirt seniors Adam Chalfant and Ryan LeBlanc have survived three sessions of the 2014 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Chalfant has reached the heavyweight semifinals, guaranteeing his spot on the All-American stand while LeBlanc's two wrestleback wins Friday afternoon moved him within one more victory of joining Chalfant as an All-American.
Chalfant is the first IU All-American since 2011 (Ricky Alcala and Matt Powless) and will face 2nd-seeded Nick Gwiazdowski Fridaynight live on ESPN. Coverage of the championship semifinals starts at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT. LeBlanc's round of 12 bout pits him against Northwestern's Pierce Harger, the #7 seed at 165 pounds. Watch that match on ESPN3.com.
As a team, the Hoosiers are tied with Pittsburgh for 19th place with three of six sessions complete.
Chalfant avenged a loss two years in the making. Oklahoma State's Austin Marsden ended Chalfant's first season as a Hoosier, taking a 6-4 sudden victory to eliminate Chalfant from the 2012 NCAAs. This time it was Chalfant coming out on top, on the strength of a second period takedown. An edge-of-the-mat scramble ended with Chalfant engulfing Marsden in a bear hug and driving him into the mat. The Hoosier heavyweight fended off a few shots frpm Marsden down the stretch and sealed a 3-2 decision.
LeBlanc took to the mat twice, arising victorious in each endeavor. First, it was a 6-4 tally over Wyoming's Dakota Friesth. Both grapplers notched a takedown and subsequent escape in the opening frame, setting up a 3-3 score heading to the second stanza. Friesth began on bottom and escaped for a temporary 4-3 lead. LeBlanc retaliated moments later with this second takedown of the bout to go ahead for good. He added an escape of his own in the third period and moved on to face Chris Moon (Virginia Tech) in the next round.
There was no trailing for LeBlanc in the consolation third round. He caught Moon in an attempt to roll free in the second period, freezing Moon on his backside long enough to warrant a takedown and two near-fall points. The 5-1 triumph pushes LeBlanc into the round of 12 and one win shy of becoming an All-American. It also marked the 38th victory of LeBlanc's season, threatening to the crack the all-time top-10 at IU (39 wins).
Taylor Walsh competed on Friday as well, suffering a 13-4 major decision to Army's Paul Hancock. Walsh concludes his redshirt junior campaign at 35-7 with a school-record 26 pins. That falls total currently ranks number one nationally. In addition, his 47 career pins are tied with Viktor Sveda (1998-2002) for the most in school history.
DAY ONE RECAP
Three Hoosiers remain in contention after Day One of the 2014 NCAA Wrestling Championships, including heavyweight Adam Chalfant's advancement into the championship quarterfinals.
Complete Brackets & Team Standings
Chalfant enters Friday just one win shy of guaranteeing All-America status and three victories away from a national title. Meanwhile, Taylor Walsh and Ryan LeBlanc both split matches on Thursday and are still in the running for third place. Each needs a trio of triumphs to clinch their spot on the All-America stand.
Indiana is in 23rd place of the team standings with two of six sessions in the books.
Bloomsburg's Justin Grant was no match for Chalfant in the first round as IU's quarterfinalist accumulated five takedowns, an escape and 1:23 worth of riding time advantage for a 12-4 major decision. It marked Chalfant's fifth major this season and 19th of his Hoosier career.
He battled Penn State's Jonathan Gingrich in the second round. They had split two previous meetings, but Chalfant took the rubber match by a final tally of 5-2. The big fella nailed an early takedown and never looked back. He improves to 27-3 in his senior year and faces Austin Marsden of Oklahoma State in the quarters.
Marsden, the #11-seed, upset sixth-seeded Mike McMullan (Northwestern) to set up the showdown with third-seeded Chalfant. The two heavyweights have met once before as Marsden ended Chalfant's first season as a Hoosier at the 2012 NCAA Championships with a 6-4 win in the second sudden victory period.
Walsh's day was a roller coaster ride of many ups and downs. It began falling behind 2-0 to Chattanooga's Alex Hudson in the first round. Hudson then got in deep on another shot, but Walsh fended off the attack and sunk in a tight front quarter nelson. Moments later it was pin number 26 for Walsh and the 47th fall of his career, pulling him even with Viktor Sveda (1998-2002) for the all-time school record.
His second bout took an opposite track, starting with a high and ending in a downer. A successful video review challenge from the Indiana coaches gave Walsh a pair of near-fall points to end the first period leading 8-6. He added an escape tally in the second and carried a 9-6 edge into the final frame. The #6-seed, Nestor Taffur, stormed back though, tying the score at 10-10 with under 10 seconds left and posting a fall at the 6:57 mark.
Walsh will see a familiar face in the corner of the mat in his next bout. Former Hoosier teammate and current Army assistant coach, Paul Young, guides Paul Hancock against Walsh. Walsh brings along a 35-6 season mark while Hancock sits at 28-13.
LeBlanc was responsible for the only two takedowns of his opening bout, carding one in both the second and third periods. His 5-3 decision came over the #12-seed, Jackson Morse of Illinois. LeBlanc now has five career NCAA Championship wins, including two over seeded adversaries. Fellow unseeded grappler, Josh Veltre of Bloomsburg, kept it going in the second round with a 5-2 winner over LeBlanc.
LeBlanc's first Day Two showing pits him against Wyoming's Dakota Friesth (29-9). If LeBlanc is able to rack up three more wins, he'll not only be crowned an All-American but would also move into the top-10 all-time in school history with 39 total wins this season.
Luke Sheridan had his hand raised once as well, notching his first career win at nationals. After dropping into the consolation bracket pigtail match, Sheridan knocked out a seeded foe. The California native took down 12th-seeded Nick Vetterlein of Virginia Tech with a half minute left in the opening frame. He then added on a pair of escapes en route to a 4-2 decision.
Sheridan faced Wyoming's Benjamin Stroh next, digging out of a 4-0 hole and knotting the score at 4-4 with a second-period takedown. It was Stroh getting the takedown in the final period though, eliminating Sheridan from the competition. Sheridan concludes his junior campaign with an overall record of 28-16.
Adam Chalfant reached the semifinals at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City this weekend, then lost his next two consolation matches to finish sixth at his weight class, but still earned All-America honors. the release from IU follows.

As the uncertainty surrounding Brexit continues, impacts are being felt across the U.K. In this week's Brexit Tracker, labor shortages abound, the European Union delivers its own outlook on the future growth of the U.K. and Sonos is reacting to the changing currency exchange rate by jacking up prices in the U.K.
One of the many things that remains unclear since the U.K. voted to leave the EU is the right to work for non-U.K. nationals. As a result, many are either choosing to return home or search elsewhere for work, The Guardian reported.
A new report from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and The Adecco Group, which polled more than 1,000 employers, found that companies in the U.K. are experiencing shortages in both labor and skills across the manufacturing, health care and hospitality sectors.
The Labor Market Outlook report also noted that one in four employers had EU national employees who were considering vacating their jobs or the U.K. at some point this year.
Labor market data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that EU nationals are arriving to the U.K. in much smaller numbers than they have in the past.
There have been many opinions and forecasts on how the economic health of the U.K. will fare as the Brexit talks take shape and the eventual separation of the U.K. from the EU actually happens.
But the EU itself has finally weighed it with its own outlook.
This week, the European Commission confirmed that it expects the U.K. economy to grow faster than initially expected in the coming year, upgrading its growth estimate for 2017 from just 1 percent to 1.5 percent.
Despite the mostly positive projections, the commission warned that the fallout of the Brexit vote will still be felt eventually, and GDP growth in Britain will see some slowdown over the course of the year, The Telegraph reported.
Home audio kit maker Sonos is the latest tech company to report it will be raising the prices of its products in the U.K. The company confirmed that its prices will increase by as much as 25 percent as a result of last year's Brexit vote.
In a message on its website about the new pricing, Sonos explained that a "significant change on the US Dollar to GBP exchange rate" in recent months has made its current pricing unsustainable.
The company said prices in the U.K. will increase as of Feb. 23.
Though it's not a uniform 25 percent price jump, TechCrunch noted, the local prices of certain products will vary, with some experiencing a higher jump than others.
Sonos joins the likes of other tech companies such as Apple, HTC and Microsoft that have also announced changes in local pricing in the U.K. as a direct result of the Brexit vote.
It's likely that more are sure to follow.

Application of a global–local full‐waveform inversion of Rayleigh wave to estimate the near‐surface shear wave velocity model

We present a global–local full‐waveform inversion (FWI) of surface waves to estimate a high‐resolution shear wave velocity model of the near‐surface at the site of Grenoble (France). The seismic data we use have been acquired in the framework of the InterPACIFIC project. A first attempt is made by employing the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) to invert the fundamental modes of Rayleigh waves. This inversion is solved through a global optimization driven by the neighbourhood algorithm. However, the limiting 1D assumption, together with the severely ill‐posedness of the MASW inversion motivate us to exploit all the information content of the recorded Rayleigh waves (i.e., travel‐times and amplitudes) by implementing a global–local FWI approach. We first perform a global FWI in which a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to minimize the L2 norm difference between observed and simulated seismic waveforms up to 30 Hz. This inversion employs a two‐grid scheme in which the subsurface is described by a fine grid input to the forward modelling, whereas the unknowns are defined on a coarse grid. A bilinear interpolation brings the coarse‐grid model into the fine grid. To accelerate the convergence, two strategies are considered; offset marching and frequency marching. Then, the long‐wavelength velocity profile provided by the GA inversion is used as the starting point for a local FWI for further refinement of the predicted model. In this case, we employ a frequency‐marching strategy up to a maximum frequency of 60 Hz. Both the global and local approaches use a finite difference code for the forward computation. Despite the limited a priori information infused into the inversion framework, the presented global–local FWI scheme provides reliable results as demonstrated by the good match between recorded and predicted seismograms and by the agreement of the estimated velocity with both nearby borehole data and stratigraphic information on the study site. Our global–local strategy also achieves better data fitting and improved matching with the available borehole data with respect to the velocity profile estimated when the local FWI is started from the MASW predictions.

Q: Swagger / springfox generating response example automatically Currently using springfox 2.9.2 to Swagger document an API created in Spring.
I want to add example response in the documentation, like in this image;

my understanding is that I can do something similar to this:
@ApiResponses(value = {
    @ApiResponse(code = 200, message = "Success",
            examples = @io.swagger.annotations.Example(
                value = {
                    @ExampleProperty(value = "{'snapshot':{'type': 'AAA'}}", mediaType = "application/json")
                }))

I'm placing this code snippet just above the GET method in this case.
unfortunately the 2 examples above always shows : identifier expected error
But I also see that I can do this too:
@ApiResponses(value = {
    ApiResponse(code = 200, message = "Success", response = MyModel.class,
    )
})

Also I see that I can add an example with @ApiOperation level:
@ApiOperation(value = "Create a Account", nickname = "createAccount", notes = "Create a account", response = AccountResponse.class, tags={  })

My questions are:

*

*How can I add an example JSON response to my Swagger documentation?

*It would be ideal to just point Swagger/Springfox to my model/bean and have it generate the example response automatically, and automatically update with each update for the bean/model. Is this what the second code snippet above is supposed to do?

A: Define example with annotation for dto:
@ApiModel("Crop")
public class CropDto {

    @ApiModelProperty(name = "Unique guid", position = 1, example = "7aaee0e2-6884-4fd7-ba63-21d76723dce2")
    public UUID id;
    @ApiModelProperty(name = "Unique code", position = 2, example = "squ")
    public String code;
    @ApiModelProperty(name = "Unique name", position = 3, example = "Squash")
    public String name;
    @ApiModelProperty(position = 4, example = "Cucurbita pepo L.")
    public String description;
}

If you ever had an urge to hit Optimus Prime with a stick… well, you're still out of luck. This Optimus Prime piñata from Unique Industries is the pull-string variety so it's… more like untying his shoelaces?
Regardless, this is the perfect way to add some fun to your All Spark Day party, for the stellar price of only $27.99. Shipping to Australia is $168.50 so if you're outside the US… well, it still probably works out cheaper than Trypticon so I say go for it.
Who knows? You might be the lucky kid who pulls the string that makes the Matrix pop out!
