Los Angeles police officials have launched an investigation into a robbery at the Kardashian family boutique.
An unidentified woman grabbed $1,600 (£1,300) of clothing and accessories from DASH on trendy Melrose Avenue and made off in a silver sedan, according to TMZ.
Ironically, the robbery took place hours after French police bosses confirmed they had arrested 17 people in connection to Kim Kardashian's armed robbery ordeal in Paris.
The reality TV star, who is one of the owners of DASH, was bound and gagged as thieves raided her Paris apartment last October (16).
On Monday (09Jan17), cops confirmed they had arrested a gang linked to the incident. Reports suggest one of the men detained was the Kardashian family's longtime driver.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles police officials are still piecing together evidence and surveillance from Monday afternoon's DASH robbery.


"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1).
"Beloved, believe not every spirit," is a faithful translation of the original Greek. The first six verses of chapter 4 of the first epistle of John is a beacon of warning: love should be exercised with judgment and wisdom. We should love the believers, but we need to make sure that those who call themselves Christians are not false teachers or masters. Those who deny the incarnation of Christ are of these, and are revealed by the test.
This warning is given to the "beloved": the readers were not necessarily personal friends of John, but are loved by the Lord Jesus Christ who gave His life for them, and they love each other because "He who does not love his brother abides in death." (1 John 3:14).
To believe, or not to believe, here involves the sense of a naive credulity: today as in the days when the letter was written by John, there is much deceit camouflaged as Christianity that absolutely has nothing spiritual, but that may deceive the misinformed; we also find today an abnormal concern with the occult by many Christians that is very dangerous; there is furthermore fanaticism in relation to personal ideas and interpretations that divides believers.
With regard to spirits, the Bible says, among other things: "... Of the angels He says, 'who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.'" (Hebrews 1:7, quoting Psalm 104:4), and "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14). Above the ministry of angels, now we have the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and in our lives.
In contrast to these good angels who serve God there are fallen angels, also called "spirits" in Scripture. The Gospels speak much about the "unclean spirits" in the time of Christ. Their reality today is also admitted, and among them the main one, known as the devil or Satan is worshiped openly by his devoted priests and priestesses. As believers redeemed by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, we are exhorted by the Holy Spirit to protect ourselves with the whole armour of God because we are in a gigantic spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). Our enemies are well organized, like a powerful army.
John addressed this letter to his "little children", affectionately so calling those who are spiritually born again to hear and receive for themselves the gospel of Christ, of whom he was an apostle. As such we are instructed to love and help each other, but we need to be cautious: "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9). Science and knowledge give us discernment. It is wonderful to love, but we are in a great evil and malicious world, and it will deceive us if we let it.
There have always been false "masters". The Lord Jesus had warned the people against them (Matthew 7:15), even against false "christs" with their miraculous signs (Matthew 24:11,24, Mark 13:22). It is an old story (Luke 6:26) and appears occasionally in Scripture (eg Acts 13:6, Revelation 16:13, 19:20, 20:10). Now they are the leaders and false teachers, as there were false prophets among the Israelites (2 Peter 2:1). There are many teachers today who we must guard against because they are leaving aside what the Scriptures teach, or adding to them.
Just because someone comes to us saying the words "Jesus" or "Lord" a lot, or has graduated in theology or has ecclesiastical achievements does not mean that we must automatically love and trust him. This person may be even more dangerous than a snake because he teaches a false doctrine, or has little respect for the true doctrine. Although he may carry a Bible under his arm, he may not really be teaching God's Word.
The spirits, including masters and teachers, need to be tested, or proven to see whether they are from God. It is the acid test of truth, as a metallurgist does with his metals. If he passes the test, he is acceptable (2 Corinthians 10:18), otherwise he must be rejected (2 Corinthians 13:5-7). The test itself is very simple and gives an immediate result: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ (the Saviour sent by God) came to earth as a human being is of God. We must check if they admit the divinity of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 12:3), and the incarnation and resurrection of Christ (Romans 10:6-10).
Those who pass the test acknowledge that He is "the Word", God the Son, the Creator of all things, who made Himself flesh so fulfilling prophecies about the Messiah centuries before His birth, e.g. "unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..." (Isaiah 9:6). The child was born, but the Son is given to us! The Son came from eternity, the Ancient of Days, while the human child was conceived in a virgin. His death and resurrection are meaningless unless He really was who He said He was, the Son of God transformed into man.
All religions of the world, Babylon, are approaching each other with the ecumenical movement to the leadership of one man who, in the spirit of Antichrist will make himself a substitute for Christ.
The nations are getting together to enable the existence of a politician with sovereign power over all of them. He will bring a provisional peace, but it will be the most frightening period the world has ever seen.
The spirit of antichrist was in the world since the early days of the church of Christ. He reveals himself in the false teachers who teach heresy and a false gospel.
There is no reason why we who belong to God and not the world should be deceived by antichristian teaching. The Spirit of God that dwells in every believer (Romans 5:5, 8:9), is greater than Satan and his army. He reveals the truth in His word when we seek His guidance, so that we can overcome all the false teaching that we hear. We cannot keep ourselves away from the Bible, be it through ignorance or carelessness, and expect the Spirit of God still to show us the way and guide us. The spirits can only be tested by the Word of God; because it is through the Bible that the Holy Spirit teaches and guides us.
False teachers can be very nice and attractive people, and get an audience with ease. They are in perfect harmony with the world. The occult and the sects grow quickly because they appeal to the flesh. There are Christians who also experiment using the methods of the world to attract a crowd, but they find it difficult to convey the message of the Gospel in this environment. They end up desisting, or silencing over what the world does not want to hear, making the message ineffective.
Unlike the false teachers and the world, we are in tune with the Infinite God. Those who seek God, or want to know Him better, pay attention to our witness, to what we say, to our preaching of the Gospel with all its power, to the teaching in the church, and the faithful ministry in Bible studies.
We need to make sure that the Word of God is being communicated in the power of the Spirit so that the Spirit of God may take it and use it. The people should not come attracted to worldly pleasures, but to hear the Word of God and to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. The most important thing is to know that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be and it is that which needs to be clearly announced to the unbelievers.
This is how the spirit of truth is distinguished from the spirit of falsehood.

Prof [Sir] John Curtice provides a nugget of insight into the Conservative (blue) gang's predicament.
On the result:
"so I think the honest truth is that neither side can claim on the base of these results that voters have sent a clear signal… extreme options of leaving without a deal and having a second referendum as the polls are suggesting two most popular options"
On Conservative Party options:
"brexit vote is not going to disappear unless and until the Conservatives deliver brexit …next Tory Prime Minister is probably going to have to try to work out a way of delivering brexit within the arithmetic of the current House of Commons because the option of going to the country …was unlikely to look very attractive"
In others words the blue gang will be decimated if they dare initiate a general election before Brexit is resolved! The blue gang members therefore have two options capitulate to the EU and a lookalike May deal or go for the "hard/WTO" Brexit!
What will it be? In, out, half out, half in? And you shake it all about , you do the hokey pokey, you turn yourself around that's what we're all about. Forgive my humour, I could not resist it.

In May 2003, and eminent group of jurists, brought together by Interights, analysed the procedure for the appointment of judges to the ECtHR. In their report, they noted the risk that the authority of the Court could be undermined by the potential politicization of the appointment procedure currently adopted.
This article provides an overview of the findings of the report, and the recommendations made to deal with the shortcomings identified, including making the nomination procedure open to international oversight. To find out more, click on the link to the full article below.


NEW caretaker boss Steve Edmondson is confident that after a hectic week's recruiting, Kendal Town will take to the field at Market Drayton Town on Saturday with a competitive and capable squad.
The Mintcakes' battle to avoid relegation from the Evo-Stik League Division One West suffered a crushing blow when 11 players left the club last week along with manager Dave Foster, effectively leaving Town without as first team squad.
But following Edmondson's appointment as Foster's replacement, with ex-Town keeper Craig Dootson arriving as his assistant, the new management duo have been hard at work assembling a new side.
"It's been a busy few days but Craig has so many contacts and we're really pleased with the lads we've brought in and we're looking forward to challenges ahead," he said.
"It's been tough but people have to realise we need to stick together so now all we want is for the supporters to get behind us and give us the chance to get this great club back on track."
Already signed up is Sope Awe, a tall, athletic youngster who can play in midfield or up front and who has spent this season with Chorley's under 21 squad.
Ex-Bolton centre back Brandon Lee is also on board, as is midfield man Ryan Moore who was formerly with National League high flyers AFC Fylde.
And completing a quartet of non-contract signings is keeper Joao Mendis, who was recently released by Chorley's National League North rivals Ashton United.
Dootson said the club were also in advanced negotiations to bring in a centre back from a Football League club, and he said there were also talks ongoing with five other clubs over incoming players, with all these clubs currently playing at Evo-Stik Premier or National League North level.
In addition, Edmondson said he and Dootson had contacts at National League promotion hopefuls Salford City, where David Beckham recently joined a board which already includes former Manchester United legends Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.
Salford have a large squad of quality players and Edmondson said he was hopeful at least one of their under 21 squad could be tempted to Kendal for a loan spell.
And he added that the club's long held belief in developing local talent would continue with young Windermere based midfield man Joe Dixon already on board and several other young players from the South Lakes area being lined up.
Edmondson said the club had also served seven days on a number of other players who he was confident would be in the Town squad by the time they take the field at Market Drayton.
"I've been amazed at the offers of assistance from fellow non-league clubs and I'd like to thank them for their help," he said.
Town have been on a poor run and currently lie second from bottom but they are just four points from safety with a game in hand on third from bottom Glossop North End, who visit Kendal a week on Saturday, February 16, for what promises to be a pivotal clash in Town's relegation fight.
But first, it's the Gingerbread Men v the Mintcakes as Town make the long trip to Shropshire on Saturday for the first game of Edmondson's second spell at the helm.

TMJ (temporomandibular joint), or the jaw joint as we all know it, sometimes becomes problematic (like anything else in the body). Pain could be actually joint related (due to issues associated with the moving capsule in the joint) or muscle related (masseter or temporalis muslces for example). Often times it's frequent in people who clench/grind (during the day or at night time), have sore muscles on their temples or the cheeks/sides of the face. get migraine headaches that may be associated with such activities.
In most of these cases, night guards are the go to appliance. There are different nightguards and designs of course for them that address various issues (different topic); but often times, it's not the type of guard but the concept of wearing something at night (or during the day) that bothers the patients. Sometimes, it's the opposite: patients wear the guards religiously but dislike the increasingly square shape of the face caused by hypertrophying (enlargement) of the masseter muscles (one of the muscles involved in chewing embedded in the cheeks. In either one of these cases, Botox treatment is a great one! Simple comfortable injections into these muscles, relaxes them, causing an inability to clench/grind, relaxes the face, slims down the muscle and by that the face (more oval shaped face consequently), reduces on the need for wearing the guard, and lessens/eliminates the pain!
The effects usually last for about 4-6 months depending on the prior activity level of the muscles and habits formed.

Judge a book by it's cover all you want. That cover just keeps on doing what it does best: protecting the book's text. Covers allows a book to continue to convey information by taking the wear and tear of everyday use. Through the years different materials have been used to cover books.
Wood. Early books were most commonly covered with wooden boards. Rare Books has several manuscripts with Coptic bindings. These books are well-used, with uncovered wooden boards that are polished by handling, but they are often broken and then repaired with linen thread. The wood is sometimes cut similarly to modern lumber, in a straight line across the log. In the picture below you can see the curve of the tree's growth rings. Wood is porous and expands and contracts as it takes on or loses moisture from the air. It will expand unevenly around that natural curve, warping and sometimes even cracking the board. The strongest wood boards are cut in a very different way.
Imagine you are looking down on the round end of a log. If you cut this log radially from the center as if it was a pie, two useful things happen. First, boards cut like this (called a quarter cut) resist warping because the grain of the wood is running straight up your board, instead of curving through it. Looking at the boards from the top you see little to none of the curve of the tree's rings. This board will warp very little as humidity changes. Second, there is a structural feature in wood called the medullary ray. These rays go through the wood from the core out to the bark. They are perpendicular to the main grain of the wood, forming a remarkably durable natural plywood. Many Coptic boards break because they are made with wood that does not have prominent medullary rays.
In the above image, notice the faint curve of the grain near the middle of the left board.
In the image below, we can see the medullary rays and the tree's grain weaving together. The lighter lines are medullary rays, the darker lines are the tree's grain creating a strong internal structure.
Pasteboard. All this picky woodwork added complications to the bookmaking process. When bookmakers discovered that they could just paste together paper proofs, misprints, or offcuts to make functional boards, it became common practice to do just that. This has made for interesting discoveries as modern conservators re-bind historical books and find that their boards are made of interesting or rare texts.
Waterleaf. Around the mid-sixteenth century, very soon after pasteboard began to be used, another technique for making boards was developed. If you are familiar with historical papermaking, or you've seen our recent paper exhibition, Paper is Fundamental, you know that paper was made by drawing suspended fibers out of a vat of water on a screen, which was then rolled onto a stack of felts. Paper makers found that if they took these raw, wet pieces of paper and compressed them together, it formed a variant of pasteboard that was less likely to separate between pages, or delaminate. Pictured here is a bound volume of the Deseret News from 1856. The very worn board is beginning to delaminate which gives us a great view of individual "pages." Because the board is never printed on directly and almost always covered, papermakers could include fiber that would normally be unacceptable for papermaking. Here you see small pieces of cloth and thread. Historical bookmaker Jim Croft calls this kind of board "barf board" because of the jumble of reject fibers that go into its production.
Scaleboard. The first paper mill in Colonial America wasn't established until 1690. Rather than using expensive, imported book boards, bookbinders often used thin scales of wood in their place. These scaleboards, originally called scabbards, were much too brittle for the task of protecting a book, but when covered in paper or leather they made perfectly usable covers. This book was printed in Boston in the year 1700. The leather is now peeling away, allowing us to look at the wood scale beneath. The end grain of the board is visible at the fore-edge and spine of the book, instead of the traditional head and tail. It may be quarter-cut, the end grain shows only a slight curve. The board is a little warped, but the book has been through a lot, and scaleboard wasn't expected to do the same heavy structural work as early wooden book boards were.
Translated by John Frampton (fl. 1577-1596) from several treatises first published in 1565 by Nicolás Monardes, the son of a bookseller, and a distinguished physician of Seville. Monardes, who never traveled to the Americas, wrote several treatises on healing, medicine, and trade with the Spanish colonies on the Atlantic. He learned most of what he wrote about from spending time at the Seville docks, where he gathered information from sailors, soldiers, merchants, monks, royal officials, and even women.
Monardes described the cultivation and use of quinine, sassafras, cassava, rhubarb, ginger, and sasparilla. He wrote about cocoa, armadillos, minerals and metals (iron, silver, nephrite jade), and diseases like syphilis.
He wrote a lengthy description of an American plant introduced to Europe, calling it "tobaco" or "nicotain," which he claimed was an antidote to poison. He wrote of more than twenty conditions, including the common cold and cancer, that could be cured with the use of tobacco.
John Frampton, a Bristol merchant, had been imprisoned by the Inquisition. He translated several Spanish texts about the New World while in confinement. The British looked upon the New World as long-lost paradise with its vegetative bounty and ancient wisdom regarding human ailments, beneficial not just for its precious metals but for its plants. Being published in the vernacular, first in Spanish, then in English, meant that common readers, along with botanists and apothecaries, bought the publications. Frampton, ever the entrepreneur, re-titled the work "joyful news," counting on brisk sales of the book and the trade in plants from the Americas. The "trade" print culture disseminated new data targeted toward popular practicality but also imagination, circulating news of an "other" ready reality just waiting 'round the bend. Such was the miracle of discovery, such was the miracle of plants, such was the miracle of print.

Woodblock depicting a Native American in a feather headdress and loincloth smoking a long clay pipe in a coastal setting with two ships behind him. Around this scene are a crown, trident, winged-staff, cigars, snuff jar, tobacco leaves and baled tobacco. It is likely that this woodblock was printed on paper used for tobacco wrappers, a practice that began as early as 1660 in Holland, one of the world's great shipping centers.
Below are three prints made by Jonathan Sandberg using the woodblock, demonstrating different papers, including a paper handmade by students in last spring's papermaking class offered by the Book Arts Program.

Peter and Donna Thomas are book artists from Santa Cruz, CA. They work collaboratively and individually letterpress printing, hand-lettering and illustrating texts, making paper, and hand binding both fine press and artists' books. Inspired by a quest for beauty and perfection, and by the potential of word, image, shape and texture to create an illuminating experience, their initial aim was to create limited edition fine press books made of the finest materials and produced to the highest standards of quality, in both full size and miniature format. This aesthetic continues to guide them as they work in new formats made possible by personal computer technology, exploring non-traditional book structures and shaped book objects as both limited editions and one-of-a-kind books. They travel the USA as the "Wandering Book Artists" giving talks, workshops and demonstrations to both academic and community-based audiences.

This Mother's Day we wanted to give a wonderful new mum or mum-to-be a gift of our own. To choose the lucky mother, we asked our social media audience to nominate a mummy and tell us why they deserve our gift.
The winning mother will receive a fantastic Clair de Lune Sleep Bundle, including the Clair de Lune Mint Dip Dye Noah Pod, the Deluxe Rocking Stand, and two packs of fitted Moses Basket sheets.
In this post, not only will we share the winning submission but we have also compiled some of our favourite entries. Mother's Day is all about celebrating motherhood and showing some tender love and care to other mums in our lives is the perfect way to do so!
The first category of submissions that we weren't too surprised to find was new mums and first pregnancies. We're all too familiar with the excitement and anxiety of welcoming our first bundle of joy, so these ladies definitely need some recognition.
Pregnancy is hard work – while some mums are lucky to navigate their pregnancy journeys with ease, others are faced with difficult, uncomfortable and often painful quests. From the dreaded morning sickness to pregnancy diabetes, or even having to split your attention and care with other children, these mummies deserve some special attention.
Not only is pregnancy hard work, but there are also mums that continue to work hard on their jobs or studies during and right after their pregnancies. All credit to these multi-tasking superwomen!
We had to put some wonderful daddies on the spotlight, who decided to show some love and gratitude to their significant others on this special occasion. Their loving responses truly brought smiles to our faces!
The last category of submissions and perhaps the most heart-wrenching is miracle pregnancies and long-awaited babies.

#2: A new reality for theatre [13/12/20]
Iz Potter
In the second edition of our blog, Technical Director Iz Potter discusses the exciting theatrical potential of virtual reality.
At the start of 2020, Only Lucky Dogs had exciting things on the horizon. We'd become a proper limited company, we'd secured a venue for the Edinburgh Fringe 2020 for A Few Short Studies On Cannibalism, and we were excitedly developing our partnership with Portland Works. However, as we are all too well aware, most of our plans, along with many others across the country, were cut short. Instead, we were faced with a year of uncertainty, and saddening lack of live theatre. The performing arts and those who pursue them are nothing if not creative and quickly adapted to this new way of life and creating live events. It's been incredible to watch artists around the country create Zoom performances and live streams from their houses, or perform outdoor concerts for neighbours.
This new face of the performing arts has created interesting ideas, which I've found particularly inspiring with limited access to our own theatre space. Some of the artists programmed at Portland Works are located internationally, but with the introduction of the second lockdown even those who live locally can't visit the space. I've started researching how we can still make the space useful, specifically how audiences can engage with and create theatre remotely through the use of simulated virtual reality. Virtual reality, often seen in futuristic films and known for its popularity in gaming, has been slowly making its way into other industries. Its applications within theatre are wider than they might first appear, benefiting the performance industry in a variety of ways, saving time and money, and pushing innovation and efficiency.
VR in pre-production
Since VR's first mainstream uses in 2016, it has rapidly gained widespread appeal. Its uses can be split into two categories with very different appeals and advantages; pre-production and performance. As anyone with experience in the industry will know, before a show can come alive on the stage, an incredibly dedicated team of technicians ensure the creative vision of the production team is brought to life. This requires weeks of designing followed by long hours building, focusing, and programming and, as anyone who has performed at the Fringe can attest to, theatre turnarounds are often very short. VR can help designers to create and present ideas accurately before quickly reproducing them in a theatre. This reduces the time needed between shows, and reduce time and resources wasted in creating designs that don't fit the production teams' liking.
VR in performances
Perhaps even more exciting is VR's use in performance itself, and shows that have utilised it so far have only begun to scratch the surface of what might be possible. The most obvious use of VR is for live streaming events, which provides so many opportunities to widen the audience reached, well beyond those who can attend a live performance. In terms of accessibility this is really exciting, because theatre can be expensive, and often takes place in spaces with limited physical access. With VR the cost of watching live theatre can be lowered considerably. LIVR, for example, charge a small monthly fee in exchange for a headset and a selection of shows to stream. Imagine NT Live - but in 360 degrees! This is also an incredible development in access for those who cannot physically attend a performance, due to distance or the inaccessibility of older and ill-adapted theatre venues.
Immersive theatre
Immersive theatre directly engages with audiences give them greater involvement in a production, plunging them into a totally absorbing reality. Of course, this can be greatly aided by the introduction of VR to create an even more realistic environment. In 2016 the ever-innovative Punchdrunk collaborated with Samsung to create one of the first successful immersive VR theatre pieces, Believe Your Eyes. The piece was awarded a Silver Lion in the Entertainment category at Cannes 2017 and was lauded as an exciting future for performance. Punchdrunk continues to collaborate on high-profile VR projects such as StoryFutures and Audience of the Future. VR can also be used in interactive performance. Excitingly, this has been explored by AΦE, whose production WHIST "merges Physical Theatre, interactive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and an art installation". Placing audience members in an art gallery with VR headsets on, it allows them to move around the space and feel real objects whilst experiencing a production through their headset.
The future of VR
Virtual reality in theatre has a really exciting future, especially in the world we currently live in, as it allows access to spaces that are temporarily closed. At Portland Works, while we develop our first season of live work, I will be looking to create a virtual Makerspace that can be accessed online by designers and production teams while the space is inaccessible. VR can save designers time and companies money in pre-production. It allows for greater accessibility for people who can't see live theatre, through financial and physical challenges to experience it from their own home. While we, as an industry, fix those barriers, it provides a fantastic alternative. And in a world where technology is evolving rapidly and becoming ever more integrated into our lives, it gives theatre a direct relationship with a technologically-innovative industry.
If you're interested in learning more about VR, here's a great website created by students at Brown University with a wide span of knowledge.
In the next few months I'll be posting more about how we are going to use VR to showcase our lovely Makerspace while we are restricted in our access to it. Follow us on social media @onlyluckydogs and signup to our mailing list here.

The Latest: Trump taking 'wait-and-see approach' on border
Vehicles from Mexico and the U.S. approach a border crossing in El Paso, Texas, Monday, April 1, 2019. (AP Photo/Cedar Attanasio)
Published April 2, 2019 at 11:30am
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and immigration (all times local):
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen says in an emergency call with Cabinet members and White House aides that the administration will treat U.S.-Mexico border issues "as if we have been hit by a Category 5 hurricane."
That's according to a person who was on the conference call. The person was not authorized to discuss the call publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The person says the Department of Homeland Security is standing up an emergency operations center not unlike when there is a major natural disaster.
Nielsen named longtime U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Manny Padilla as a crisis coordinator who will manage efforts within the department's different immigration agencies.
Padilla's job will be different from the immigration or "border czar" that Trump is considering.
Officials say an influx of Central American migrants is overwhelming border facilities.
—By Colleen Long
Senate Majority Leader McConnell says closing the U.S. border as President Donald Trump has threatened would have a "potentially catastrophic economic impact on our country."
The Kentucky Republican told reporters on Tuesday that he hopes Trump won't take that action. Trump last week said he'd seal the border in the coming days if Mexico did not immediately halt all illegal immigration into the United States. On Tuesday, the president said he'll take a wait-and-see approach.
That's good, McConnell suggested.
"Closing down the border would have a potentially catastrophic economic impact on our country," he said, adding, "I would hope we would not be doing that."
A closure would have enormous economic consequences for Mexico and the United States. Trump has threatened to close the border before but not acted on the threat.
President Donald Trump says he is taking a wait-and-see approach when it comes to his threat to close the southern border as soon as this week.
Trump is telling reporters as he meets with NATO's secretary general that he's pleased with steps that Mexico has taken in recent days and that, "We're going to see what happens."
But he says that he's "ready to close it" if he has to and will do so if Mexico stops helping or if he fails to reach a deal with Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration laws."
Trump is bemoaning current regulations and says: "We're going to have a strong border or we're going to have a closed border."
Trump administration officials are pulling back the president's threat to shut the southern border as soon as this week.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday the administration is "looking at all options" on whether to close entry ports and what the impact would be.
Last week, Trump said he'd close the border as the number of migrants coming to the U.S. has surged. He's threatened that before.
Delays at entry points are already mounting. That's because as many as 2,000 border officers assigned to check trucks and cars are being shifted to deal with migrant crowds. Wait times at Brownsville, Texas, were 180 minutes Monday, double the wait last year. And there were 150 trucks in Otay Mesa, California, still waiting when the border station closed for the day.

Five Excellent Podcasts That Take A Deep Dive Into History
Humans have a fascination with things that are really, really old, so why not cover a few of those record setters?
With a list of this nature, of course, a little explanation into methodology is required.
We have the team at 24/7 Wall St. to thank for this one, because they did the hard yards:
24/7 Wall St. reviewed scientific journals, record collecting organizations, newspapers, and other sources to identify the oldest known item in each of a number of categories. Often, there is less than a historical or scientific consensus as to which is the actual oldest item. These are not necessarily the first thing made in a particular category, rather, they are the oldest surviving version.
Right, that's the boring stuff out of the way.
That picture up top, by the way, is the world's oldest globe, the Behaim Globe, which dates back to 1491 A.D. It's also known as the "Erdapfel", but we're going to move on.
Let's focus on seven of the more interesting 'oldest things':
Scientists recently discovered that the oldest single tree in the world is 5,067 years old as of the 2017 growing season. The tree is a Bristlecone Pine, found in White Mountains, California. It beats the previous record holder named Methuselah, which is located nearby. While the general location is known, the precise spot is a secret to keep the tree safe.
This isn't the tree itself, but it is the same species:
Gnarly.
Six more to go:
Photograph: Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's "View from the Window at Le Gras" was taken in 1826 or 1827, and 24/7 Wall St. calls it "an astonishing development in technology." Niépce missed out on tacking a few years on to his record: He destroyed an image he took in 1822 when he later tried to copy it.
Restaurant: Speaking of astonishing, Stiftskeller has been operating in Salzburg, Austria, since 803. It continues to serve patrons in the same building it has for more than a millennium: St. Peter's Abbey.
Shipwreck: The find is a relatively recent one, made in 2014 by archaeologists from Ankara University working in Turkey's Urla Port. There, they found a ship believed to be roughly 4,000 years old, far predating the port, which was operating around the seventh century BC.
Food: It's not this quarter-pounder. What was originally thought to be charcoal upon its discovery in Oxfordshire, England, was confirmed as bread burnt some 5,500 years ago, during the Neolithic era.
Mummy: If your guess involved Egypt, you've got the wrong continent. Chile's Chinchorro Mummies date to 5,050 BC. The Chinchorro people living in the Atacama Desert mummified all their dead, but while the remains managed to survive for some seven millennia, they're now turning to "black ooze."
Musical instrument: Radiocarbon dating showed that bone flutes found in Hohle Fels Cave, Germany, were crafted as long ago as 41,000 BC. The bones once belonged to mammoths.
Look at you, learning new things on a Monday.

Ireland lies to the northwest of continental Europe, and is bordered by Great Britain, the Atlantic Ocean, the Celtic Sea and the Irish Sea. Ireland is located on the third largest island in Europe, and the island is divided between the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. A war of independence in the beginning of the 20th century led to the partition of the island, creating the Irish Free State which gained increasing sovereignty over the next decades and Northern Ireland, which remained part of the United Kingdom.
Ireland can boast a unique and rich culture which has had an important influence on many other cultures. Ireland also has a varied geography and stunning landscapes and is home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites. Starting from the 1990s, the Republic of Ireland experienced unprecedented economic growth, and the country was ranked very high for quality of life and had a large variety of business and employment opportunities to offer.

Is a high A in the key of D flat still flat?
I'm learning a song in the key of D flat. I know that any middle A within the song is flat. However, is a high A (above the staff) still flat?
theory practice key-signatures
Dom♦
JesseG17JesseG17
Yes. The key signature of Db has a Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and a Gb. Those notes are flat unless otherwise noted no matter the octave.
For any key signature on any staff, you will only ever see the accidentals written once in a typical pattern. The octave the accidentals are in are entirely based on the clef used, but apply to all octaves.
You can think of the key signature as a general guide to what notes belong to the key you are playing in. For example, in the key of F the key signature has a Bb in it. So it is telling you every B is flat and all other notes are natural in the key of F.
Dom♦Dom
I might add that "above the staff" or "below the staff" is entirely notational, and if you change clefs the same pitch is suddenly "on the staff" . Not to mention those little notations like "8va" . – Carl Witthoft May 11 '14 at 12:33
Well, key signature are a notational notion. – Édouard May 11 '14 at 16:06
As others mentioned: key signatures are valid for all octaves. With one notable exception: scordatura.
Scordatura notation is sometimes used for bowed string instruments. In scordatura, the strings are tuned in an uncommon pattern. The notation, however, uses normal notes in a normal staff to indicate how a note is to be fingered rather than how it is supposed to sound (naturally this only works when the string assignment is unambiguous). In that particular case, the "natural" key on the different strings is different, and the key signature's accidentals are only valid at the pitch they are written.
But such scores are rather hard to come across.
Most scales are assumed to be octave-repeating, due to the way that we hear a similarity between notes that are an octave apart (the reason for this being that with many instruments, any note contains harmonic partials at the frequencies of all the overtones of a note an octave below).
This includes the diatonic scale, which is the scale that standard notation assumes (and that key signatures are most relevant to), and this is why key signatures are read as applying to all octaves. Hence why in your scenarios all 'A's will be flat unless otherwise indicated.
Incidentally, there do exist scales which are not octave repeating, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohlen%E2%80%93Pierce_scale.
(adapted from duplicate question Are tonal (sharp, flat and natural) key signatures octave specific?)
topo Reinstate Monicatopo Reinstate Monica
If a flat or sharp occurs in a key signature, it means ALL notes with that letter name are affected. Not just the ones that are on the same line or space as the one in the key signature.
It helps to remember that key signatures were originally invented to save time, paper, and ink back when all music was copied by hand.
e.inglewoode.inglewood
It helps to remember that key signatures were originally invented to save time, paper, and ink back when all music was copied by hand. Nope. Before the printing press, the three "key signatures" you might run into were (1) no sharps and flats, (2) one flat, or (3) two flats, and the great time-paper-and-ink-saving method was musica ficta: implicit, unwritten accidentals. That is when music was written by hand, you didn't really have key signatures the way we do today, so you saved ink by not noting the accidentals. – Codeswitcher May 12 '14 at 0:40
I don't believe that's the reason key signatures were invented -- they avoid unnecessary clutter for the reader. – slim Jun 27 '14 at 10:54
Truth is that it IS flat; however if you played A natural up high it wouldn't sound too bad because it's so far away in frequency terms. If it sounds "ok" then that's why.
Jason LockeJason Locke
Downvote? It's totally valid to play an augmented (sharp) fifth in a musical piece. I answered the question correctly. – Jason Locke Apr 1 '15 at 19:38
Of course - there's no 'invalid' in music - but whether it would sound OK depends on the context, not just the register. Indeed a low ♮A might sound great in some contexts. – topo Reinstate Monica Apr 2 '15 at 22:54
You implied that a high A natural wouldn't sound too bad. That was, I guess, if it was supposed to be an Ab instead. Then in the comment, it gets changed to +5, which is totally valid, but at that point, written as such, it is supposed to be played as +5, and will sound better than 'not too bad'. – Tim Feb 9 '17 at 16:03

Yeah, they use an argument with zero substance and really its a strawman from the indisputable fact we keep bringing up. We had something, that we both earned and paid for, and they took it. The TOS does not change that reality and no amount of mental gymnastics or fallacy riddled posts can change facts from being facts.
It's very possible they just haven't thought it through, they could also just be trolling, or maybe they just can't wrap their heads around any concept other than their preconceived biases because they have cognitive dissonance. See, they are really arguing the company can do what they want because of the TOS and the company obviously can. No one is arguing they can't. But that is not the argument or more accurately the facts we are sharing. And they can't seem to get past themselves long enough to understand the actual point.
Fact: We had something, it was taken. That is reality plain and simple and DCUP isn't even denying it they openly said they would do it and they did.
The counter to this is a fallacy riddled argument that it was not taken because of the TOS.
Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to get why they are wrong but they either can't see they are making the wrong argument or they just cant admit they were wrong.

"No marks rewarded if so, only style like before."
If what you mean by " like before ", we get rewards no matter our level, marks and everything, then I'm down. Because there was a time where CR relevancy did not exist.

I completely disagree with your stance on this issue.
But your gif game is strong and I really do get a kick out of them.

Exactly. They have this idea that this is the direction that has been made and we all have to bow our heads, fall in line, and accept this whether we like it or not. It doesn't matter if, as consumers, we paid for this and it's being taken away from them -- we're simply expected to fall in line. ... it's pretty amazing. It's like this bizarre form of Stockholm Syndrome. And this resistance to improvement comes up every time someone presents meaingful improvements to the game, and it's usually the same people gatekeeping it.

The need for roles and not ignoring mechanics has returned to the game. As in the game has somewhat returned to it's intended design for group content. Only instead of no bonuses to stats you are raised 10 cr along with your sp, artifacts, trinkets and generator mods it's more like 15 cr. Above the content. This isn't that hard. I'll help you if you want help.

"The need for roles and not ignoring mechanics has returned to the game."
One could argue that the need for roles and not ignoring mechanics has always been in the game... for end-game, elite, and feat hunting.
At a certain point, we move should past mechanics... as we get stronger than previous levels... They lose relevancy when compared to progress.
Edit: You can only worry about mechanics so many times.
We do levels repeatedly at relevancy.
It should not be an endless loop of repetition for all of eternity regardless of how strong we become.
That becomes boring, repetitive, and pointless in the face of progression.
If there is no progression, there is no point of the game.

Investment....Earned... Shouldn't. All of these words clearly imply perceived ownership of the character and the way the character plays etc. We aren't constructing a straw man. You are using flawed logic using the perceived ownership of your character due to your "time investment" that you "earned" the ability to "feel super" (faceroll/one shot content) and they shouldn't take that away due to your "perceived ownership" of that. You can't call something a strawman when they are literally using the language you are using in your post to construct the argument.
Their belief is that it is good for the game. It is logical, it is thorough, they have more data than we have, but we have the examples of other modern MMO's and how they run their business. We are never going to have the best graphics, never going to have gameplay thats massively different inside of this engine. We are limited by the engine. Yes, new players will be attracted by these types of upgrades but it is simply not in the cards.
The game is stagnant, and it was just a matter of time where attrition started outstripping the gains (.6% per month). There is a HUGE number of former players who have left over the years. There are a huge number of potential new players which is limited by the graphical things and what not.
In short, you may have a perception of ownership, but there is no implication of ownership for that perception to be grounded in reality.

Yes, investments to your own personal satisfaction.
You understand you own literally nothing, and yet still trying to claim ownership over a feeling you have to your character.
I get the attachment to the idea of your character, but be attached to the idea. Not the avatar itself.

If you turned the game on only to find that a virus has deleted your character, account, and history...
You would feel a sense of loss for that which you "owned".
You wouldn't just shrug your shoulders with a "Well... I wasn't really mine, anyways."

That's an emotional attack, because you don't own them, Daybreak do, and when the game shuts down, our characters go down as well, we owned the ideas, the creation of the characters.
Mentaldope40, Sep 10, 2021
You don't need to feel, or have, ownership to feel a sense of loss in it. This is a true strawman argument.
When i stopped playing DCUO, i didnt ask Daybreak to refund all my money for the investment i put into it. What goes into the character while i spent my time here, stays here. Money/ Time/ Investment.
Its Daybreaks assets, im simply allowed access to use them, and i have no ownership of this variation of my characters here.
NOBODY IS ARGUING THAT DAYBREAK ULTIMATELY OWNS THE GAME AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
You're fighting an argument that no one is making.
THAT is what a strawman is.
You feel loss because you lost something that was... yours.
I'm argument is that you just ignore that fact for the sake of sycophancy.

NOBODY DENIES THAT FACT.
When a friend of mine dies... my loss is because they were mine? A connection to something doesn't imply ownership. I'm not fighting an argument nobody is making. I'm fighting your argument of perceived ownership of a character.

There was a motion raised on the floor of the Senate and we had to go to Borno state to observe what was going on in the IDP camps. I visited Borno state while the husband was governor and I saw a woman passionate about the people. She served the women and the IDPs relentlessly", she said.
Senator Tinubu also gave assurances that women and youth issues will be given due priority should her husband emerge as president at next year's polls.

Nick Evans: Harlequins assistant joins England as Six Nations attacking coach
By William Sen On Jan 7, 2023
The Harlequins assistant will return to his role at the Stoop after England's first tournament under new head coach Steve Borthwick.
Kevin Sinfield has been a regular number two for Borthwick, specializing in defence. The temporary addition of Evans further cements the changes following the sacking of Eddie Jones in December.
"I'm delighted to have Nick join our squad ahead of the Six Nations," said Borthwick. "Nick brings with him a wide variety of experience as a player and coach, which will be invaluable to the growth of our team.
"I know Nick understands the pride and responsibility that comes with representing your country. Our aim is to build an England team that our nation can be proud of and I know our fans will be very excited about what Nick will bring us.
"We would like to give a special thanks to Harlequin for allowing Nick to work with us during this time. This is a great example of club and country working together.
Martin Gleeson led the attack until Jones was sacked and stayed on after Borthwick was appointed. The RFU has not yet clarified Gleeson's position in relation to Evans' appointment, but the former Rugby League international is expected to leave England.
Evans had 16 New Zealand caps between 2008 and 2017 before playing 208 matches for Harlequins. The 42-year-old has coached at Queen's since his retirement and will continue in his role at The Stoop when he is on the England squad. Harlequins say Evans will return to the club full-time after the Six Nations.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for Nick where he'll learn and grow and it could be good for the club," Harlequins director of rugby performance Billy Millard said.
"I am confident that he will provide Steve and the team with excellent support and guidance during the 2023 Six Nations."
Jones was fired in December after seven years at the helm. England 2022 marked their worst calendar year since 2008, with five wins from 12 Tests.
Matt Proudfoot, Brett Hodgson and Danny Currie left the RFU on Monday. Scrum coach Proudfoot has been in England since 2019, while Hodgson has stepped down from a defensive role due to start under Jones in this year's Six Nations.

How the Internet tricked you into thinking Trump wouldn't win

How could we be so wrong?
In the months leading up to the election, like many others, I was convinced that Hillary Clinton was on a smooth course to victory. Trump, I rationalized, was too divisive. Too extreme. Too much of a political outsider. Every day, I would religiously turn to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight for comforting statistics about how Clinton was besting Trump in the polls.
It seemed like a sure thing. And then last night happened.
Shock and Awe
When the first votes were counted, I was at an election party with some former work colleagues.
The mood was jubilant. Initially, there weren't any surprises. Clinton won the states she was expected to win, like New Jersey. Trump won the states he was expected to win, like Indiana.
At 2AM, I hugged my friends goodbye and jumped into an Uber. By the time I got home, everything had gone to shit.
Clinton's grasp on victory was looking tenuous. And then it was gone.
For most Europeans, the idea that Americans could vote for someone as vulgar and as controversial as Donald Trump is inherently shocking. But perhaps what compounded the shock is that nobody thought it was possible.
We had collectively convinced ourselves through data points and opinion polls that a Clinton presidency was all but guaranteed. Even the Republican National Committee thought Trump was screwed.
We had been lured into a false sense of security by people like Nate Silver, and Maxim Lott, and John Stossel, whom we had put on a pedestal. And we did it because these online pundits told us what we wanted to hear.
The sad truth is that we knew nothing.
We need to climb the fuck out of our filter bubbles
I don't actually know anyone who voted for Donald Trump. Most of my friends are like me. They're college educated. They're politically left-of-center. They read the news websites I read, and listen to the same podcasts.
My Twitter feed is a 920-person curated list of people I'm likely to get along with. Like most people, I live in a filter bubble of my own creation, where the only perspectives I'm exposed to are similar to my own.
I'm convinced that these filter bubbles in which we reside are ultimately harmful. To society. To civil discourse. To democracy.
Over 58 million people voted for Trump. I don't know one.
I don't know anything about their lives, or the economic anxieties they face. I don't know why they voted the way they did.
Perhaps that's why his victory was such a surprise. It's incredibly hard to look beyond the horizon of your friends list and see something you really don't want to see.
I'm convinced that most people who voted Republican yesterday are inherently good people. They voted for Trump because it made rational sense to them. This is the same reason why anybody votes for anything. I imagine no small part of Trump's triumph is that these people feel ignored, misunderstood, belittled and marginalized.
And I worry that social media only exacerbates this. Facebook and Twitter let you shut out these people from your world. Once they're gone, you don't have to look at them as people. You can reduce them down to just just "Trump supporters", and you don't have to worry yourself about their concerns, or listen to their arguments.
I hope I'm wrong again
Like most people in the UK, I grew up watching American TV and movies. To me, the United States was always this bright, beautiful place where anything was possible, and where things always got better.
When I got older, I discovered Aaron Sorkin. I would binge-watch The West Wing, and later The Newsroom. These shows painted an aspirational view of what American politics and journalism could be like. I've always felt optimistic about America.
And to tell you the truth, I'm terrified of what a Trump presidency would mean for the world. What it would mean for peace and progress. For prosperity and kindness. For the fight against climate change. I'm genuinely afraid.
I just hope that I'm as wrong about Trump as I was about Clinton.

Caryn Franklin MBE on rediscovering herself after menopause.
"Your boat is on a very choppy sea," said Maryann knowingly. She is one of the select older and wiser women in my life, who got me through a turbulent period, back there.
I was recounting my story to her with my head in my hands. Life had suddenly become very confusing. Continuing the travel analogy, one minute I was cruising a marvelously lit highway in a 4×4. The next, without noticing, I had taken a wrong turn, I was bouncing down a dark dirt track in a banger.
"How did I get here," I kept asking, "and," (more to the point) "how can I get out? " I was used to problem solving and multi-tasking with executive efficiency. As a journalist and broadcaster working in the fashion industry for over 30 years, while raising a family, running a business and campaigning for a variety of women's issues in my daily practice, I had not signed up for this chaos. I quickly became anxious about what each new day would hold.
Every woman's experience of the menopause is different. It's a process of oestrogen and progesterone withdrawal and it will impact you in a unique way, because you are unique. Everyone I have spoken to laments the taboo nature of talking about what to expect, but perhaps we could all feel less ambivalent about the forthcoming rite of passage if we knew delivers a mind-blowing mid-life recalibration – one with a valuable message of growth and expansion.


The hardest part about making any quilt is choosing the fabric. This is even harder when I don't know who the quilt is for, don't own a car seat – or a baby for that matter! Originally I was going to hack this pattern into a cat cage cover. After all, those furry critters get chilly in their cages, but a friend is expecting her first grandchild in spring, so I decided to make the pattern as is. It looks so very cute after all.
My girlfriend, an accomplished quilter and seamstress says quilting isn't usually undertaken by the young for the following reasons. Fabric, notions and miscellaneous supplies can be expensive; it calls for time, which most people don't have; it calls for precision and the ability to follow instructions carefully. I'm not sure I agree with her to he honest. I see a lot of young women, especially those with a graphic design or creative backgrounds developing as designers in all areas of fabric and textile art. Plus, sewing in general is having a resurgence. The ability to go online to purchase fabrics, sign up for a class, ask for help and post your finished item has opened the world of quilting (and sewing) to everyone.
All that snipping causes fluff!
Back to the pattern… I'm really glad I made it because it is so darned cute! I've quilted for a while now but haven't made a rag quilt before. I didn't read the pattern the whole way through, and as such didn't see there was an option for a larger size.Doh! I'm also used to concise quilt pattern instructions that assume some knowledge. This pattern has an artsy font, but it's easily readable with good visual instructions. One thing to remember and to stop the Husband thinking there has been a snowstorm in the laundry room, is to open the dryer door carefully and slowly, and to not shake the quilt indoors. It made a heck of a mess! I don't have a car seat, so haven't sewn the positioning straps on. That said, I might not … it just might sit on my chair for a while.
On a final note, watch this space over the next few months for more A Vision To Remember pattern reviews, click here for the Etsy shop link, and check out the FaceBook Group. If you make this pattern and enjoy it, get out and buy a quilting magazine, join a quilt guild and keep quilting.
