New Mexico's largest city curbs federal immigration agents' powers to deport illegals
The city of Albuquerque passed measures on Monday that curb federal officials' authority to deport illegal immigrants.
Albuquerque's council, controlled by Democrats, voted 6-3 in support of a measure preventing federal immigration officials from entering the city-operated areas without a warrant, Reuters reported.
The move came just a week after a federal judge blocked a Trump administration effort to withhold funds from sanctuary cities.

Council amends and approves R-18-7; strengthening Albuquerque's status as an Immigrant Friendly City
2:47 AM – Apr 17, 2018 · Albuquerque, NM
19 people are talking about this
The council also prohibited city workers, including police officers, from collecting information on residents' immigration status and banned the city from spending on federal immigration law enforcement, the outlet reported.
The council meeting brought a number of speakers from the public, with some supporting the council's intention to enact measures protecting illegal immigrants, while others said the initiatives will put people in danger.
"This is not an issue of racism," one city resident told councilors, according to The Albuquerque Journal. "Every one of you took an oath when you took office to protect the laws and the Constitution. This is not a matter of being cool. This is a matter of doing what's right."
Officials said the initiatives were designed to make New Mexico's largest city "immigrant friendly," as nearly half of the population in the state is Hispanic or Latino – the highest level in any U.S. state – according to the U.S. Census.
New Mexico is also reportedly among the states with the largest population of illegal immigrants.
The council approved a resolution claiming that Albuquerque is a "safe place for immigrants from all countries, as well as for war refugees, people of color, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities."
President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed to crackdown on states that have enacted measures aimed to protect illegal immigrants and curb the federal government's powers to enforce immigration laws.

When it comes to restaurants, this adage tends to be proven again and again: There's no substitute for experience. The concept may be intriguing, the menu may be well-crafted and the décor may be dazzling (and often terribly expensive), but the confidence that comes with experience usually outshines them all.
The new Autentico's Kitchen with its Italian-American menu is a product of not one but two families' worth of restaurant experience. It's co-owned by Michael Vitale, who grew up working in restaurants, and his wife, Daniela Vitale, whose father owns Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant in Midlothian (with Michael) and who started the area's Vinnie's Italian Grill chain back in 2001.

Marijuana: Should Pot Be a Schedule II or III Substance?
Nikelle Murphy

In mid-2016, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) quietly announced it would be issuing an updated classification for marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. Under the law, drugs like cannabis, methamphetamine, cocaine, and other substances are organized by how addictive they are, and how likely they are to be abused.
Many people wondered whether the DEA would reclassify marijuana as a Schedule II drug, thus loosening some of the restrictions that are currently placed on pot. However, the agency announced in mid-August that the drug would remain a Schedule I substance, effectively stating it has no acceptable use, medicinally or otherwise.
Still, the debate about cannabis's classification rose to the forefront. It's unlikely the federal government will move to reclassify marijuana anytime soon, but that hasn't stopped several states from legalizing it anyway. In addition, public opinion is increasingly in favor of allowing cannabis use for medicinal and recreational purposes. Former presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a bill in November 2015 that would deschedule marijuana altogether, essentially treating marijuana like we do alcohol or cigarettes. The bill was supported by a former surgeon general, but didn't pick up enough support to pass the Senate.
Removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act isn't likely to happen anytime soon, but changing its classification could go a long way toward allowing more research and giving cannabis advocates a boost. Here's a look at the most likely changes, and what they would mean for the pot industry.
Marijuana: A Schedule I substance
A cannabis joint | iStock.com
Since the Controlled Substances Act was made law in 1970, marijuana has been listed as a Schedule I drug. These drugs are characterized as having "a high potential for abuse" and have "no currently accepted medical use." Cannabis is in the good company of heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and peyote under this classification, which also severely limits research and makes them illegal for any use on the federal level.
Under the law, there are five schedules of drugs. Marijuana sits in the most restrictive category, with each one getting more lax through the progression. Schedule II drugs are still considered to have "a high potential for abuse," but can be prescribed by a doctor. Some of these include cocaine, Vicodin, OxyContin, Adderal, and Ritalin. Moving cannabis to a Schedule II drug would slightly relax the governmental red tape surrounding research, the Brookings Institution points out, but there are still severe restrictions on prescribing the drug.
Schedule III drugs, the lowest classification most experts believe marijuana could be moved to, have a "moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence," according to the DEA. These substances include Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, and testosterone.
What classification should cannabis receive?

The classification change necessary depends on the overall goals marijuana advocates have in mind. If the idea is simply to allow researchers more access and give doctors the ability to write prescriptions, a change to Schedule II would be all that's necessary.
However, if the hope is to boost the industry and give it more legitimacy, it will need to move to Schedule III for long-term success. The reason lies within the tax code. Right now, the banking industry is extremely hesitant to get involved with cannabis businesses, which means it's still basically an all-cash operation. Banks could feel more comfortable with a Schedule II designation, but further loosening of federal laws at Schedule III would make that even more likely.
Right now, people in the marijuana industry are restricted from writing off any business-related expenses on their taxes. As a result, they don't get the same advantages other small business owners receive in the form of tax breaks. That tax restriction, formally called IRS rule 280(e), applies to Schedule I and II businesses. At a Schedule III level, however, cannabis-related businesses could start receiving those tax breaks, making it easier for them to go into (and stay in) business.
Moving to marijuana to Schedule III is what Colorado regulatory attorney Tom Downey advocates for in a column in the Denver Post. Working at the federal level in that way will also allow states to move forward with additional monitors on recreational and medical marijuana, Downey writes, while also allowing states to continue reaping financial rewards from pot-related taxes.

Whether the drug will eventually be reclassified remains to be seen. However, there would still be lingering issues that a simple listing change wouldn't fix. For one, changing the scheduling for cannabis "doesn't solve the conflict between the states and federal government," Bill Piper, senior director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance, told Leafly. "De-scheduling would be ideal, but ultimately what we need is overall reform of the [antiquated], non-scientific scheduling system."
Some groups, including Smart Approaches to Marijuana, say changing the classification would be nothing more than a "symbolic victory" for advocates who want to legalize the drug. They argue that research is still happening, and little else would change in the industry as a whole. However, others would say that symbolism is sometimes all that's needed to move the needle on otherwise controversial subjects.

Experience: The experience with Mike was outstanding from start to finish. When he opened the door I was immediately nervous because he's even better looking than his pictures, which are outstanding. Within in seconds I was experiencing his incredible kissing skills and I felt comfortable. He was intensely attuned to my needs and reacted to them masterfully. He read me perfectly and made the entire hour amazing. I highly recommend Mike and suggest allowing more than an hour with him. It definitely wasn't long enough and I will go back for more.

Years of traveling and plenty of caffeine cravings can only mean one thing: I have spent an inordinate amount of time in coffee shops. Since there are over 24,000 coffee shops in America, chances are you can relate.
But even though there are that many shops, have you noticed how the patrons almost always fit into a narrow type? I've been keeping a mental list and figured it was time to share my not-so-scientific study of who exactly visits all of these places. The result is 21 people you will meet on any given day when you're grabbing your beverage of choice.
People at my local Starbucks practically have assigned seats until, of course, the out-of-towner shows up and sits some place they don't belong. You can spot these people a mile away because it always takes them a second to find the milk/sugar station.
Who decided a coffee shop is a good place for an interview? I mean unless you're interviewing potential baristas, take your candidates out for a real meal. One day I'll probably pop by a table and tell the interviewee they should never work for a company who won't buy them a sandwich.
Don't interview people at a coffee shop unless you want to make a bad first impression.
There's a reason coffee shops almost always sell juice boxes; the mom or dad at home needs a break too!! I can't help but stare at every parent I see walking in with their toddler in tow. I remember the days well and can only think, "Bless your heart."
I love the dudes (and they are usually, though not always, dudes) with the cool beanies.
Are they cold? One Direction fans? Or just working with their thinking caps on?
Any coffee shop with this crowd makes me feel as if I am about half my age.
When a meeting ends early, traffic is miraculously easy, or you build in too much time between appointments, what can you do EXCEPT pop in, chill and caffeinate at your favorite coffee haunts?
This is one of my most common coffee shop roles because, apparently, I am an inefficient scheduler.
How many books do you need when you go to grab a cup of joe? Are you a speed reader? Are you doing some research? Have you been stock-piling your junk mail? What gives with all of the paper?
If you're not sure you want to date, schedule coffee.
Nothing communicates "I'm not sure I want to go out with you" more than making your time together a "quick" cup of coffee.
This habit isn't nearly as bad as a coffee shop interview, because there's no reason to invite a blind date over to your house when they could be psycho, but it's decidedly non-committal and everyone knows it.
Have you ever noticed how many people go to a coffee shop and read their Bible? Or have you heard the spiritual conversations taking place at the table next to you?
When you aren't sure if you want to cause a scene, take your relationship defining conversation to a coffee shop.
OK - maybe that's not fair. Maybe people wander into the intense conversation after they show up for a tea.
Still, I can't imagine it will go well. See previous notes on interviews.
I think the smell of ground coffee brings out the artist in people. Why else do I see so many sketch pads in coffee shops? Thanks for reminding me I can't even draw a semi-decent circle.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Carl & Ellie Fredricksen (from UP) at our local Starbucks. Seriously, they are dead ringers for the animated characters. They always sit in the same spot (unless an out-of-towner shows up) and order their drinks in the ceramic cups.
So cute!! I want to be their friend and travel with them to Peru.
Speaking of old, there always seems to be at least one person who is reading the paper in the coffee shop. Who actually consumes news on printed paper when it's already out-of-date?
Any coffee shop with newpaper-reading clientele is usually missing the Bohemian element.
Not everyone at a coffee shop is a blogger, but if you blog, you definitely do a bunch of your writing at the window seat in your java joint. It's part of the job description.
You can always tell who got Starbucks gift cards in their stockings over Christmas, because these kids flood Starbucks and order blended shakes frappacinos for the entire month of January. I am secretly jealous of their metabolism.
Any establishment with outdoor seating is practically begging people to show up with their dog. Why do you think everyone loves Paris? It's not just about chocolate crepes, it's about the dogs that come along to the cafes.
OMMMMMGGGGG! You look SO great!!! I kinda wonder if the beauty parlors in the 50's were like coffee shops today with a buzz of girlfriends catching up. The buzz can be deafening, but these reunions are nothing if not entertaining hug fests!!
Speaking of deafening noise, why is there ALWAYS a loud talker in the mix? Ambient noise of coffee grinders and espresso machines easily fade away, but the guy on the cell phone screaming to be heard is just ridiculous. Alas, these people are ubiquitous.
Finally, there are the people who just want to make it through their commute without either falling asleep or slipping into road rage. These are real reason coffee houses exist, as a public safety concern. I don't think America could spiral out of control should anything happen to their morning caffeine injection.
Lucky for them, and for everyone on this list, it seems this coffee house thing is gonna stick!
Now, which profiles did I miss?


Question: Are high school relationships "worth it"?
Answer: Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. To all of you immediate Debbie Downers out there…I'm not answering "yes" because I have some convoluted idea that every high school romance leads to a dream happily ever after where you're 100 years old telling people that you married your high school sweetheart. I know the chances of that are slim. But they're still there. And even if that's not your story, you'll still be a better person for it. And if there's anything I can make you remember when it comes to relationships it'd be that THEY'RE ALL WORTH IT.
Disclaimer: When I say all, this excludes emotionally abusive relationships, which are dangerous. If you or a friend are in this type of relationship, reach out for help. Some helpful links will be provided at the end of this post.
But, for the others, I truly believe that they all add value to our lives. Sure, many of my relationships haven't worked out. It can make you believe that it was a waste of your time or create resentment for dating. But, it shouldn't. Every one of these failed relationships will teach you something. About the world, about yourself, about what you REALLY want, and so much more. You should always look at a relationship as a learning experience, not a mistake. If you saw every one as a mistake, you'd never give love another shot; wouldn't that be a horrible way to live?
I highly doubt that any relationship you could find yourself in in high school would truly be "worthless." Either it'll fail and you'll grow or it'll work and you'll grow. I guarantee that you'll be much happier if you look at the potential rewards in starting a relationship over the potential risks. I know it can be scary, but you shouldn't let yourself miss out on a great opportunity for a relationship out of fear of it failing.
For me, every relationship I've been through, from the 2-week ones to the ones that went on for months, has been a stepping stone for me. By the time I started dating my current bae of 1 and a half years, I knew what I wanted. And he fit that. Without those previous obstacles, I may still think I want another type of guy. Having the attitude that no relationships are "stupid" opened my door to the best thing I've ever had. You may not get as lucky until college or even adulthood, but it's not a reason to give up. If you want to give something a shot, do it. You never know what knowledge you will gain and the outcome it could have, positive or negative.
So, there you go. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's so worth it.

CEO pay ratio disclosure is at hand. And with that, companies are finding many difficulties beyond identifying the median employee and calculating the ratio. Understanding what your pay ratio is—and conveying it to others, inside or outside your organization—provides a second, potentially more sensitive set of challenges to consider.
Preparers. The ones who actually perform the analysis want to make sure the result is accurate, stable, and sensible.
Management. Leadership often wants to stress-test the results based on assumptions and sensitivity. Further, management can be very interested in how their ratio compares to others along with the reasons for those differences. Some companies use this data to strategically analyze organizational pay structures and practices.
Human resources. After disclosure, employees are likely to ask about the pay distribution, why certain employees are below the median, or why competitors' employees might appear to earn more.
Board of directors. Compensation committees are interested in the results, but may be more receptive to visuals and short summaries.
Investors. Certain investors may have an interest in sustainable pay and fair global practices. Detailed analytics can reveal how a company's pay practices are consistent with these goals.
Media. Media representatives may look for examples of high ratios, unfair CEO compensation, and (in some cases) companies that overpay employees while passing the cost on to consumers.
Whatever the concerns, data can tell the story. Here are three examples.
A box-and-whisker plot shows the breakdown of the whole employee population. Each subgroup is paid relative to others. This helps to show where influential populations are, compare the wages of similar groups, and revisit international pay leveling. Populations can be broken out by meaningful categories such as geography, job type, or—for those looking to get a head start on the next wave of pay analysis—gender.
Here, the boxes represent the middle 50% of each group, and the "whiskers" stretch from the 5th to 95th percentile. The gray meets the blue at the median for each group.
A histogram can show the distribution of all of a company's employees. This one includes clusters of employees as well as how much the median and ratio could move by adding or removing a given number of employees from the analysis. Also, this can help HR identify the range of employees who might be most concerned about pay at or below the median.
This histogram identifies the number of employees in each $1,000 block of pay, and highlights the section containing the median and those within $5,000.
A crosstab is a quick and useful way to identify the group of employees close to the median. This can help to find the most appropriate median based on factors such as wage and bonus stability, similarity of comparable employees (in case the median leaves or is promoted), and ability to determine whether any populations might have pay components not captured in the analysis.
As companies work toward a comprehensive solution to their pay ratio disclosure, we continue to expect novel ways to convey the data to stakeholders. Taking the time to understand your company's needs and ways to meet them can head off problems before they appear.
Need help calculating your pay ratio or following up the calculation? Please reach out. We'd be happy to discuss your needs.

04 Aug Designing the West: Natural Sanctuaries
Posted at 15:28h in Articles, August | September 2014, Designing the West	| Eliza Cross	0 Comments
Interior design might not be the first career choice people associate with a master's degree in psychology, but Elisa Chambers says the two disciplines are an ideal match. "Great homes begin with communication," says Chambers, principal and founder of Snake River Interiors in Jackson, Wyoming. "I say to my clients, 'Talk to me about what you love.' Then I try to really understand their lifestyle and passions, explore what they would like to see in their home and help them bring their vision to reality."
The oldest of six children, Chambers found early design inspiration from her mother, a national horticultural judge. "My mother let me accompany her to flower shows, and when she wasn't working we spent a lot of time in antique stores," says Chambers. "She has a great eye for color, and she was always enamored with hunting for special objects — which clearly rubbed off on me."
Chambers was initially interested in shoe design when she enrolled at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. She later moved to California and shifted educational gears, getting both nursing and psychology degrees. The first time she visited Jackson Hole for a vacation, Chambers says she was smitten. "I said to myself, 'I have to figure out a way to live here.'"
Her dream became a reality in 1992, when she made the move and took a nursing job in the hospital's operating room. After starting a private psychology practice, she began buying, fixing up and selling houses on the side. Chambers enjoyed the creative process so much that in 1998, she decided to return to her artistic roots and open her own design firm.
Named for the famed waterway that winds through Jackson Hole, Snake River Interiors is a full-service interior architecture and design firm housed in a spacious showroom a block from downtown. Chambers, Creative Director Saxon Koch and a team of interior designers provide services for projects ranging from the lobby of the historic Wort Hotel to numerous residences in Wyoming and beyond. While much of the firm's work is centered in the Rocky Mountain states, Chambers has designed projects across the country, from California to Texas to Florida. "My clients and I develop long relationships and lasting friendships, and I typically do more than one home for them," she says. "When I'm designing second and third homes, my philosophy is that your retreat home should have all the comforts of your primary residence."
The Snake River Interiors team uses varied approaches to communicate design concepts. "I'm very three-dimensional, and we try to make the process of visualization as easy as possible," Chambers says. "Depending on how the client best processes information, sometimes we'll go through inspirational photos and pull out pieces they like. We might create a montage of styles, colors and textures, or show them CAD drawings. We help our clients develop their ideas, and in our showroom we have a whole floor of fabrics and textual things that they can see and touch. We keep thousands of sources here so they don't have to go to Los Angeles or Denver to the design center."
In 2012 Chambers decided to expand her company, opening a retail store — Twenty Two Home — in a prime location on Jackson's downtown square. "If Snake River Interiors is our couture line, then Twenty Two Home is our ready-to-wear," she says. "You can furnish your whole home here, and we work with many interior designers who come in to find one-of-a-kind furnishings for their clients. We offer beautiful art, accessories and furniture — some European, but much of it made by artisans from the United States — as well as many sustainably sourced products."
When a certain piece or style she envisions isn't available, Chambers designs it herself. "I create a lot of custom furniture and lighting pieces," she says. "Sometimes we'll take a typically Western motif like antlers or twigs and mix it up. For instance, we created a branch chandelier out of stainless steel — what I call 'an irreverent take on nature.' We always tell our clients, 'we really can do anything you want.'"
Chambers' interiors often have a peaceful, timeless quality. "The quieter and simpler your home is, the more you can focus on what's outside," she says. "We follow design trends, but we're also inspired by traditional architecture. Our interiors are respectful of the past, and at the same time we always try to anticipate our clients' future needs."
It doesn't take a psychologist to figure out why Chambers and her dual design companies have achieved such lasting success.


With just shy of a month left in the 2018 flat calendar, trainers are looking to finish their horses' campaigns off in good style when the third of the All About the Racing Racedays is held at Pontefract Racecourse tomorrow (Monday).
Expect plenty of competitive and thrilling racing and some great perks. There are seven exciting races on the card, which gets under way at 2.05pm.
The track holds a 1m2f two-year-old race which is one of the longest two-year-old races run in the UK. With a stiff finish, Ponte is one of the more testing courses in Britain and a tough gritty horse is needed. The first two home in last year's event, Austrian School and Making Miracles have both proved themselves to be strong, talented stayers for the country's winningmost trainer, Mark Johnston, competing in some of the best staying handicap races in 2018. Who will add their name to the role of honour this year?
The feature race on the card is the £15,000 Leslie Burton (Fisher) Handicap which was won last year by Richard Hannon's The Grape Escape who was campaigned in some of the best handicaps in Dubai over the winter.
There's also the penultimate round of the 2018 Pontefract Stayers Championship in which Micky Hammond's Becky The Thatcher looks to have an unassailable advantage.
This round of the Stayers Championship produced one of the finishes of the year in 2017 when the enigmatic Madam Lilibet put her best foot forward to win her final race.
We also caught glimpse of a future Grade 2 placed juvenile hurdler when Cornerstone Lad took the 1m4f handicap. There may be a few future hurdlers lurking among the entries again this season.
On the remaining two racedays, there will be a soapbox for punters to have their say on what they think has a great winning chance as well as a guest racecard tipster to point you in the direction of a few winners! There will also be a guest pundit on the day to guide you through the runners in the Parade Ring and offer valuable guidance and knowledge about the day's equine action.
Early Bird discounted advanced tickets are available on the course's website at www.pontefract-races.co.uk and, as part of the All About The Racing theme, if four or more tickets are booked for this race meeting, you can pick up a free Timeform from the Racecourse Office to help to study the form.

Home Mainstream The Best Live Gaming Experiences
The Best Live Gaming Experiences
Unigamesity Staff
Live gaming is one of the world's fastest growing markets. It hits new heights every year – like in 2017, when YouTube increased its monthly streamer base by 343% in 2017, and Google's rival platform Twitch grew by 197%. This year, it's bound to account for a hefty chunk of the $137.9bn the global games market is predicted to be worth.
Live gaming is now a key feature on games across all devices – from PCs to mobiles and smartphones, to leading consoles. The world of live gaming is huge and varied, so let's take a closer look at the biggest and best live gaming experiences that have played such a key role in its success.
Before it became the high-profile event it is today, the first ever FIFA eWorld Cup actually took place in 2004 – when it was known as the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC). The tournament started in Switzerland and was a relatively low-key affair compared to what it was going to become.
In 2010 the FIWC set the record for the largest computer games tournament in the world. It grew even further, as 2.5 million players signed up to play in 2013.
This year, 20 million gamers entered the tournament, but only 32 made it through to the main event – with 16 playing Xbox, and 16 on PlayStation. Saudi Arabia's Mosaad Aldossary scooped the trophy, securing a $250,000 prize in a 4-0 victory. Around 30 million viewers from over 100 countries watched the eWorld Cup across the three days it was streamed online.
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was one of the many footballers who congratulated Aldossary, tweeting: "Would have loved to congratulate you personally and handover the trophy. I hope I can learn from you someday personally!"
An estimated 5 million plus players have a Blizzard account for World of Warcraft and it is certainly one of the most popular gaming franchises in the world. Some of the best World of Warcraft players from around the world compete all year with the hope of qualifying for the World Championships.
The next incarnation of the tournament is due to take place in late 2018, and teams of players will compete for the grand prize total of $280,000.
Winning the tournament is incredibly tough and players have to prove their metal on the field of battle by competing in teams of three to prove themselves as the best in their region before qualifying for the World Championship Finals.
The top four teams from Europe and North America as well as teams from China, Latin America and Asia-Pacific are all represented in the World Championship Finals.
The 2017 final was contested by two teams, ABC from Europe and Panda Global from North America. And it was as easy as ABC for the European side, who came through 4-0 to be crowned world champions of World of Warcraft.
Until quite recently, you'd have had to go to a local casino to gamble. But since the internet came along and changed the industry, playing your favourite games like online poker, blackjack and roulette is more convenient than ever. You can play from the comfort of your own home, or on your mobile, if you're on the move.
What's more, you can now get a more immersive, personal casino experience thanks to live casino. By hooking gamblers up to professional croupiers and other players via video link, they bring the casino to their living room – or wherever they choose to play. It delivers the human element that was previously missing from online gambling, and also makes the games more real – as they're controlled by a real-life dealer rather than a random number generator.
You'll find live casinos at leading gambling operators such as Mr Green. As well as having a real croupier there to lead the game and provide professional customer service, players at Mr Green can also interact with others in chat rooms while playing online casino games – visitors to the site can make use of headsets and webcams to communicate with other players through high-quality visual and audio streams.
Perhaps the most impressive part of Mr Green's offering is the 'Live Beyond Live' feature, which is only currently available to mobile users. The feature harnesses VR technology to make the play even more immersive. Live Beyond Live allows players to experience a virtual casino with two blackjack tables and two roulette tables in a futuristic setting that's as engaging as live casino gameplay can get.
The Call of Duty World League is a tournament that began in 2016 and ranged from Black Ops III, to Infinite Warfare and now WWII. In the 2018 season, the tournament is being played on WWII.
The tournament runs all year round with several qualifying stages across Europe, North America and the rest of the world. The group stages of the 2018 incarnation take place across August 15th to August 19th.
Out of all the live gaming experiences, Call of Duty is perhaps the most lucrative, with an estimated prize pot of $4.2m and sponsorship opportunities available for the very best players.
Matt Haag is one of the gamers who's doing just that. The Chicago-based 22-year-old was working in his local McDonalds three years ago, but now rakes in $1 million a year from doing what he loves, playing Call of Duty.
From streaming on Twitch and YouTube, Haag makes an estimated $700,000 a year, and tops up the rest of his income with prize money. Haag was recently sponsored by energy drinks giant Red Bull who topped up his income and paid for him to play Call of Duty in tournaments around the world.
Looking ahead: what's next for live gaming?
The FIFA World Cup and the World Series may still be the biggest draws in terms of sports entertainment, but the world is slowly changing. If you had told your parents that you spent the evening watching someone playing FIFA or Call of Duty online you'd probably be laughed at. Why watch them when you can just play it yourself?
But it's big business, and there are players out there that are on a different planet when it comes to skill levels. And they're laughing all the way to the bank. The average Joe could never compete against them, so the next best thing is to watch them battle it out amongst the other elite players.
In fact there are call for the English Premier League will start its own eSports league in the near future. Many clubs in the league already have their own dedicated eSports players that represents them in tournaments across the world – for example, Manchester City's Kai Wollin – so the natural progression is to make a dedicated league that will appeal to broadcasters throughout the world.

Ride-hailing service provider Lyft considered the idea of buying the startup whose acquisition got Uber sued by Alphabet's self-driving subsidiary Waymo, according to Otto co-founder Lior Ron. While testifying earlier this week as part of the Uber-Waymo trial that ended in an unexpected manner after only five days, Mr. Ron said Uber's purchase of Otto hasn't been guaranteed since the beginning as Google's spin-off claimed when it alleged the autonomous trucking startup and Uber conspired to profit from Waymo's trade secrets. Instead, Otto held talks with a variety of suitors, with Lyft being among the most interested parties, according to the entrepreneur's account. Uber's main rival even gave a "verbal offer" to Otto, with the majority of its bid coming down to equity payments with performance milestones, thus being similar to the deal the startup ended up striking with Uber, selling its operations and technology for just under $600 million, Mr. Ron said.
Lyft's offer never progressed beyond that initial bid whose value remains undisclosed, though Otto also held sale talks with a number of venture capitalists, as well as Google itself, according to the witness. Mr. Ron co-founded Otto in early 2016 with Anthony Levandowski who already sold two of his startup to the Mountain View, California-based tech giant by then, with Google previously buying his 510 Systems and Anthony's Robots. The plaintiff claimed Mr. Levandowski downloaded over 14,000 of its sensitive documents before leaving the unit that would later be spun off into Waymo, accusing Otto of conspiring with Uber's management to benefit from the stolen trade secrets, some of which supposedly made their way to the company's self-driving fleet. Uber denied the allegations and settled for approximately $245 million, with the entirety of that sum coming in the form of an equity payment. The startup also agreed to collaborate with Waymo in order to make sure none of its protected technologies are being used by its own vehicles, though the settlement doesn't require any admission of wrongdoing.
It's currently unclear what prompted Lyft to decide against acquiring Otto or if the approached party ended up rejecting its bid. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi issued a public apology earlier this week, saying the company should have done some things "differently" in the process of acquiring Otto. The high-profile legal clash that experts are describing as a "Tom Clancy novel" ended on the fifth day of its trial whose preparations have been undergoing for nearly a year.

Armed Merchant Cruisers & Landing Ship Infantry Association of Victoria 2020
5 December 2020, 11:00am
The Armed Merchant Cruiser & Landing Ship Infantry (AMC/LSI) Association of Victoria represents the veterans, descendants and serving members of HMA Ships Westralia, Kanimbla, Manoora and Assault.
Their annual service is held on the Saturday prior to 15 December, which marks the first major landing operation by an Australian Landing Ship Infantry (HMAS Westralia in 1943) during the Second World War.
11 December 2021, 11:00am
The Armed Merchant Cruisers & Landing Ship Infantry Association of Victoria will honour the veterans and acknowledge the serving members of HMA Ships Westralia, Kanimbla, Manoora and Assault.
AMCs were merchant ships converted for naval service with the addition of armour and guns, for self-defence in supply convoys. With limited success in this role some were repurposed as Landing Ships to serve in troop transport roles. HMAS Assault was a Navy training centre specialising in amphibious assaults, characteristic of the Allied offensives in the Pacific theatre of the Second World War.


Amazon's Alexa needs more human assistance than the public may be aware of. Full-time Amazon workers spend their days "parsing as many as 1,000 audio clips per shift," reports from Bloomburg reveal. These clips may merely be innocent phrases intended to help Alexa cope with slang and understand human speech patterns, but they also catch snippets of personal life through Alexa, such as clips workers discussed wherein they heard a woman singing off key in the shower and a child crying for help.

The Hills Really are Alive
A couple days ago, I posted a remarkable video here of Margaret Hamilton re-creating her legendary character of the Wicked Witch, for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, to show little kids it was all pretend in The Wizard of Oz. Here is another remarkable video of a legendary paring.
Julie Andrew and Maria Von Trapp.
And in this video, they not only visit and chat, but even sing together! It's a little bit of Alpine yodeling, as Maria gives a lesson to her doppleganger in how to do it properly, and the result is a charming counterpart duet.
The Von Trapp family actually eventually came to live in the United States, where they ran a ski lodge (hey, what did you expect?!) for many years. Several members of the family (generations later, great-grandchilden of the Baron -- children of Kurt, I believe) still perform together as the Von Trapp Family Singers.
This clip comes from a variety show that Julie Andrews did in 1972-73. There's actually a much long video of the appearance, that includes a sit-down conversation. Unfortunately, the audio quality for it is terrible, with an annoying hum all the way through. I'll include it, for those who want to watch for the sense of history -- it's enjoyable, but not for everyone.
Okay, for those history buffs who would like to see more of this, here are those eight minutes of the two "Sister Maria's" -- complete with Chinese sub-titles, no less! (Or Japanese. Or Korean, or...well, whatever, you get the point.) The sound is definitely not alive with music, as I said -- it's terrible, thanks to a relentless humming sound. But it's still a fascinating eight minutes. Know that though it says "part 1 of 2," I haven't been able to track down any "part 2."

Sept 9th & 10th at Winchester Dondero Cultural Center
The Asylum Theatre is proud to present COMPLEMENTO by the Colombian playwright Rafael Guizado, translated by his granddaughter and local theatre maker, Gigi Guizado, and featuring a diverse company of local talents. There will be two performances held at the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center, 3130 McLeod Drive, Friday, September 9 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, September 10 at 2 p.m., with a post-matinee audience discussion.
The production is part of an ongoing international development process with the Out of the Wings Festival, a group based at King's College London that showcases plays in translation from throughout Iberia and Latin America via year-round table read, discussions, and theatre events. The Asylum's Artistic Director, Sarah O'Connell, will direct the work of the 20th-century Colombian master following the successful premiere of his SCHERZO (Dialogue with a Statue), also translated by Resident Playwright Gigi Guizado.
"We are pleased to bring local arts to the world stage, once again, through our collaboration with the Out of the Wings Festival in the UK. Scholars from across the globe have supported Gigi Guizado's evolution of the script and celebrate our new staging. It is an honor to uplift a local Latina playwright who has gifted this Colombian master's work to a new audience through her translation and to highlight the rich talents in our diverse company of artists," says O'Connell.
The company includes actors Jose Anthony, Diana Martinez, Angel Mendoza, Jessie Johnson, Jackie Hoopz Lakoudis, Graciela Strahan, and Jacob Sidhom in the title role, with scenic design by Jay Nagle and costume design by Sean Stuart, and stage management by Rebecca Sass.
Out of the Wings (OOTW) was co-founded in 2008 by Catherine Boyle, David Johnston, and Jonathan Thacker, following their collaboration with Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed Spanish Golden Age season. Ms. Boyle will join The Asylum's audience via zoom for a real-time talkback following the Saturday, September 10 performance.
The Asylum often serves as a global theatre ambassador for southern Nevada through partnerships, including the World English Speaking Theatres (WEST) network established in Kyiv by its Ukrainian collaborators at the ProEnglish Theatre.
Formed in 1996, The Asylum Theatre exists to connect audiences to new work and artists to each other. It is remarkable to serve for over 25 years as one of southern Nevada's longest-running theatre companies as well as a haven for the development of new ideas, emerging artists, and international partnerships.

Khazanah's long-term plan is solid, says financial expert
A financial investment expert suggests that Khazanah should learn from the best practices of other sovereign funds in China and Russia. (Reuters pic)
KUALA LUMPUR: Khazanah Nasional Bhd's current business plan under the new government is already solid and intact for the sovereign wealth fund's long-term performance, says Phillip Capital Management Malaysia senior vice-president (investment) Mohd Nazri Khan Adam Khan.
He said despite recording losses in the 2018 financial year, Khazanah's plans, going forward, were in the right direction and should be convincing and solid enough to return to profitability.
This should include dividing Khazanah 's assets into commercial and strategic assets, as well as divesting more non-strategic assets.
"Khazanah is not the only sovereign wealth fund that incurred losses (in 2018).
"Even the biggest sovereign wealth fund such as the Norway government pension fund also suffered the same fate, losing some US$57 billion (RM233 billion).
"In my opinion, the main reason Khazanah recorded losses is due to the volatility in the equity market that was notable across the board, especially with the trade tension between the United States and China looming in the background.
"Bursa Malaysia continues to trade flat at the moment," he told Bernama.
Khazanah recorded a pre-tax loss of RM6.271 billion in 2018 versus a pre-tax profit of RM2.90 billion chalked up in 2017, the first losses suffered in a decade.
Profitability was affected by fewer divestments, reduced dividend income and higher impairments as a result of unfavourable market conditions during Khazanah's transition period.
Nazri said the priority now was to support government economic initiatives by giving more cash to the government by way of divestments or reducing more equity in government-linked companies.
"What matters here is positive governance, transparency and prudent investment practice and ensure that Khazanah is free from political interruption.
"It (management) should be in the hands of professionals.
"I think that Datuk Sharil Ridza Ridzuan (Khazanah's managing director), being the former CEO of the Employees Provident Fund, knows how to manage Khazanah as an active institutional investor," he added.
Last year, the government undertook the restructuring and reorganisation of Khazanah, which involved leadership changes in the board of directors and management, as well as a refreshed mandate and objectives.
Khazanah also undertook a review and revaluation of its investments, which were reflected in its 2018 results.
Nazri also opined that Khazanah should stay away from asset classes that they were not familiar with and learn from mistakes done by the oil sovereign funds in Qatar and China which were over-dependent on one asset and diversified too much besides acquiring large private equities and properties which were outside their territory.
"The government needs to give Khazanah more room and a free hand and it should learn from the best practices of other sovereign funds in China and Russia," he added.

Almost three-quarters of investment professionals worldwide (73 percent) take environmental, social, and corporate governance — ESG issues into consideration in the investment process, according to the CFA Institute ESG Survey, a new survey of CFA Institute members created by CFA Institute and the Investor Responsibility Research Center Institute (IRRC Institute). In addition, 64 percent of survey respondents consider corporate governance issues, 50 percent consider environmental issues, and 49 percent consider social issues in investment decisions. Only 27 percent do not consider ESG issues.
CFA Institute believes that every investment analyst should be able to identify and properly evaluate investment risks, and ESG issues are a part of this. Our exam curriculum emphasizes risk management, and our members are increasingly interested in continuing education materials on ESG. This survey demonstrates how serious investment professionals are considering these issues and how practice and methodology are evolving.
Overall, the survey creates a robust data baseline for investors, companies and ESG data providers. But, most importantly, this survey digs deeper than the simple question of, 'Is ESG important?' The nuances are important and provide much needed insight on how investors and analysts actually use ESG data and what data is most relevant. For example, the survey findings not only tell us that investors generally want external assurance about ESG data, but also about the preferred level of assurance, and about how much investors are willing to pay for ESG assurances.
Risk evaluation: Sixty-three percent of survey respondents said they consider ESG issues in the investment decision making process to help manage investment risks, 44 percent say that their clients/investors demand it and 38 percent said ESG performance is a proxy for management quality.
Top three issues in decision-making: Survey respondents ranked board accountability, human capital, and executive compensation as the issues most important to investment analysis and decision-making.
Regional breakdown: A high proportion of CFA Institute members in the Asia-Pacific region considered ESG issues (78 percent), followed closely by members in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region (74 percent). Most discouraging to me, respondents in the Americas region were the least likely to use ESG information in their decision-making process, but, even here, a solid majority (59 percent) do use ESG factors.
ESG integration in the investment process: Fifty-seven percent of respondents integrate ESG into the whole investment analysis and decision-making process, while 38 percent use best-in-class positive alignment; 36 percent use ESG analysis for exclusionary screening.
ESG disclosures: Sixty-one percent of survey respondents agreed that public companies should be required to report at least annually on a cohesive set of sustainability indicators in accordance with the most up-to-date reporting framework. In addition, 69 percent of these respondents say ESG disclosures should be subject to independent verification. Furthermore, of these, 44 percent believe that verification at a high level of assurance, similar to an audit, is necessary. Another 46 percent believe limited verification, or a lower level of assurance, is necessary. When this group was asked how much should be spent on independent verification, responses varied from 10 percent to 100 percent of the cost of an audit of financial statements. According to a recent report on trends from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) found that 93% of the world's largest 250 companies were reporting in 2013.

An online survey was conducted from 26 May to 5 June 2015. Some 1,325 members of CFA Institute who are portfolio managers or research analysts responded to the survey for a response rate of 3 percent. The margin of error for the survey was +/- 2.7 percent.
Regional Breakdown: 68 percent from Americas, 21 percent EMEA, 11 percent APAC.
Primary Asset Base: 41% primarily deal with institutional clients, 31 percent private clients, 16 percent both, and 12 percent not applicable.
Survey results will help inform a new CFA Institute ESG guide for investors, due to be published in late 2015.
A webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2015, at 10:00 AM ET to review the findings. Register here.
The Investor Responsibility Research Center Institute is a nonprofit research organization that funds academic and practitioner research that enables investors, policymakers and other stakeholders to make data-driven decisions. IRRCi research covers a wide range of topics of interest to investors, is objective, unbiased, and disseminated widely.
CFA Institute is the global association of investment professionals that sets the standard for professional excellence and credentials. The organization is a champion for ethical behavior in investment markets and a respected source of knowledge in the global financial community. The end goal: to create an environment where investors' interests come first, markets function at their best, and economies grow. CFA Institute has more than 132,000 members in 151 countries and territories, including 124,700 charterholders, and 145 member societies.
CFA Institute offers members and investors many resources on ESG issues to better educate themselves. ESG reading materials are also included in the CFA Institute curriculum to ensure that the next generation of financial professionals understands current global investment practice. CFA believes that every financial analyst conducting investment analysis should have knowledge of the risks and opportunities of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in investing.
