Grindr Grinds Users Gears by Reportedly Sharing Users' HIV Status
By Daniel J. Kagan on April 3, 2018
Posted in Facebook, GDPR, Privacy
In the wake of the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal, another social media company, Grindr, a gay dating app, has come under scrutiny for its sharing of sensitive personal information with third parties. In particular, Norwegian research outfit SINTEF, after analyzing Grindr's traffic, alleges that Grindr shares its users' disclosed HIV status and last tested date , GPS location and other demographic profile information with third parties.
Grindr does warn its users in its Privacy Policy of its ability to share demographic information with advertising and analytics partners and even warns users specifically about sharing HIV status and last tested date information. With regard to HIV status, the Privacy Policy specifically states:
You may also have the option to provide information concerning health characteristics, such as your HIV status or Last Tested Date. Remember that if you include information in your profile, and make your profile public, that information will also become public. As a result, you should carefully consider what information to include in your profile.
Despite the privacy policy language, Grindr's head of security responded to the allegations yesterday by stating that it would cease sending users' HIV status to third party companies.
This latest story about the intersection of privacy and social media highlights a few things app developers must keep in mind. First, if you are collecting sensitive information and plan to disclose that information to third parties, consider whether the app design should build in an extra notification to the user. Users are inundated with privacy policies and more likely than not, do not read them. The importance of transparency becomes incredibly clear in this example, as Grindr is experiencing a public relations nightmare despite having language that at least vaguely covered its practices. Second, app developers must be aware that information collection, even with the best intentions such as promoting safe sex, can come back and bite you. Finally, once GDPR takes effect on May 25, 2018, the collection of personal information of those in the European Union, especially sensitive information such as sexual orientation and health information, will be subject to the most comprehensive and complex privacy rules. We expect that GDPR will impact website and app development across the globe.

A Major 'GOT' Ending Clue May Have Been Revealed In Season 7, So Listen Up
Like most hardcore fans, this holiday season, I received the Game of Thrones Season 7 Blu-ray box set. It's a collection filled with goodies from the "History and Lore" shorts to the all-important commentary tracks that fans can listen to as they rewatch the series. But eagle-eared fans have noted that tucked away within the ramblings of those talking about the details of creating the show, there's a Game Of Thrones Season 8 spoiler or two. Let's consider what was heard, and consider what spoilers HBO might have accidentally sold to millions of unsuspecting fans this Christmas.
Every year brings new sets to Westeros. Season 7 alone introduced us to Highgarden, home of the Tyrells; Casterly Rock, the family seat of the Lannisters; and Eastwatch, a currently abandoned fortress along the Wall.
It also showed us new rooms in places we've already been, the most startling of which was Cersei's "Map Room" — an open courtyard where she had the entire map of Westeros painted to help her plan her conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. (Take that, Daenerys' Chamber of the Painted Table!) The map was such an artistic triumph, the show even gave a cameo to the set designer who created it, having him appear as the Westerosi painter that Cersei hired to create it.
When the Map Room was revealed in the season premiere, I assumed the fact that Cersei had it painted in a courtroom with an open sky was supposed to be representative of her denial of the reality of winter, and that the elements would snow and rain upon her map at some point, representing both her lack of forethought and her defeat in the coming war. But it turns out there's more to it than that. Warning: Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8 follow.
When Winter Is Coming listened to the commentary track in Episode 4, the map scene was narrated by producer Chris Newman, visual effects supervisor Joe Bauer, and visual effects producer Steve Kullback. During their discussion, they reveal that though the courtyard is lit to mimic the sun shining down on the map, it's actually a set inside Titanic's Paint Hall because no one would actually paint such a valuable and beautiful piece of artwork where it would be exposed to the elements.
That brought up the fact that Cersei had it painted in an outdoor location, and that showrunners Benioff and Weiss wanted to make sure the audience at home could tell the map was in an open courtyard. But why?
Here's what they say:
Steve Kullback: "Dan and David asked us to make it an exterior location in an upcoming episode, but I can't tell you why. But that'll pay off, too."
Chris Newman: "The courtyard always was thought of as being an exterior courtyard, even before she had the map painted, hence the sunlight."
Joe Bauer: "It used to be at least a story taller, but there was a need to see the sky in this coverage."
Kullback: "Forthcoming coverage."
Here, I thought it would be necessary because we would perhaps see the map covered in snow, whited out when King's Landing is under siege from the Night King, and all is lost. But the "need to see the sky from this coverage" line suggests that we shouldn't be considering what falls on the map, but what flies over it.
We've already had the show tease the image of dragons flying over King's Landing, since Bran's vision in Season 4:
Up until now, fans have always assumed this was Drogon, with Dany on his back. But it's not three dragons, or even two. It's a single, lone dragon, the way the Night King would arrive.
And we know what the Night King brings with him when he arrives. His entrance is always preceded by a winter storm.
Perhaps finally we have an explanation for this vision of Dany's back all the way in Season 2. It's not ash, it's snow. King's Landing has fallen. It's up to her, and to Jon Snow, to take it back.
Game of Thrones Season 8 will premiere on HBO sometime in 2019.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær believes now is the time for Alexis Sánchez and Romelu Lukaku to "play to their potential" as Manchester United's manager is without the forwards Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata for Wednesday's trip to Crystal Palace.
The Norwegian is also without Ander Herrera, Phil Jones, Nemanja Matic, Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian in what is the first injury crisis of his reign as interim manager. This means the youngsters Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong, and James Garner are set to be part of the squad at Palace.

Thread: Phone number for Unit for Noise Pollution ????
Unit for Noise Pollution (Unidad de Atencion a Casos de Contaminacion Sonica) ?????
Yes, they do exist. I need the phone number. They are part of the police department.
Where are you located in DR?
They do respond, my mother-in-law used them successfully many times in Santo Domingo.
Pm Ken. He is heavily involved in the local citizens group to lower the music volume. Hope you are not in a hurry and like going to meetings. The efforts have been ongoing for quite a while and we are all waiting for some changes.
I am in Santo Domingo - do you have their phone number?
Nice, a gringo moves into "thier" neighborhood and then calls to "po po" on them for doing what they have done since speakers were invented. Way to make yourself welcome. No wonder you left where you came from!!!
1-800-R U KIDDING ME. Domincan cops responding to a noise complaint?? Here in the Bavaro area you have to pay for a moto to get them to come for a real crime. I would suggest some diesel fuel and a road flare on the speakers. Hey you might even get the fire dept to respond.
And to *boknows*, plenty of Dominicans complain about the loud music too, not just gringos.


that should be rank deficient, which was probably wrong.

Everyme is a rather interesting and unique app that lets you create private conversations with your loved ones, friends, family and anyone you want. You get the ability to create family circles, friends circles and you can share thoughts, things and opinions, just like you would do in real life!
The first thing you will notice is the clean user interface that sorts all things for you. There are separate circles, conversations and posts that, with the help of the smartly designed UI, will never get lost.
Deleting circles and adding new ones has never been easier: you can do it with just a tap of a button. The app itself even suggests you a couple of options at first.
In the settings menu, it's possible to edit the properties of various things, such as whether you like to receive notifications from a conversation in a circle or not, or whether they can be received directly on your phone or by email.
Everyme can be found on the Google Play Store for free with no added charges whatsoever. It's a very interesting concept in our opinion which deserves big attention.

Economic Secretary to the Treasury Richard Fuller, in his statement, said the United Kingdom aims to become the country of choice for people looking to create, innovate, and build in the crypto arena.
In his first crypto discussion in Westminster this week, Fuller said that the new government led by Liz Truss is seeking ways to acquire a global competitive advantage for the country. Fuller, in his statement, said that the UK could either be a spectator as the digital currency transforms our lives or become the best place globally to start and scale crypto technologies. And hence, the UK aims to be the dominant global hub for crypto technologies and will build on the strengths of the thriving fintech sector, the creation of new jobs, and the development of groundbreaking new products and services.
The need for a regulatory framework
Fuller also states that the new administration is dedicated to the Financial Services and Markets bill. The recently introduced bill proposes significant changes to the regulation of UK financial services, including the creation of a regulatory framework for stablecoins.
As per the words of the Treasury official, to channel the advantages of stablecoins to reduce costs and enhance services, the measure will strengthen the regulatory framework currently in action. The Bank of England released its Financial Stability Report earlier in the year, highlighting the drastic decline in cryptocurrency prices followed by the major sell-offs in May and June this year.
The Bank of England acknowledged that the collapse did not fully destabilize financial stability. However, it also warned that stricter restrictions are inevitable in order to safeguard the broader financial system in the future.

1.3 Employment
1.5 Political Empowerment
2 The Women, Business and the Law
2.1 Where are laws equal for men and women?
3 The FAO Gender and Land Rights Database
3.1 Six categories
While the legal infrastructure to promote Gender Equality is in place in Italy, there is insufficient help for many women to be able to combine both paid work and caring for children, and wage gaps continue to be significant (up to 25%). The Italian fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world. Increasing accessibility to Childcare both in terms of affordability and regional availability will help mothers to enter the workforce earlier.
The Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) measures gender-based discrimination in social norms, practices and laws across 160 countries. The SIGI comprises country profiles, a classification of countries and a database; it serves as a research, policy and advocacy tool for the development community and policy makers.
The SIGI covers five dimensions of discriminatory social institutions, spanning major socio-economic areas that affect women's lives: discriminatory family code, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties. The SIGI's variables quantify discriminatory social institutions such as unequal inheritance rights, early marriage, violence against women, and unequal land and property rights.
In the Social Institutions and Gender Index 2014 Edition , Italy has very low levels of discrimination against women in social institutions. It has lower discrimination in restricted access to resources and assets and higher discrimination in restricted civil liberties. Read the full country profile and access the data here: http://www.genderindex.org/country/italy
In the Italian Constitution, the principles of gender equality (art. 3) and equal pay (art. 37) are upheld. The following government bodies are responsible for overseeing and enacting legislation related to gender equality in Italy:
Department for the rights and the equal opportunities (est.1997)
National Committee for Equal Treatment between female and male workersworkers ( est. 1983; reinforce from1991)
Commission for the Equal Opportunities between Men and Women/ Dipartimento per i Diritti e le Pari Opportunità (est. 2004)
Data collected by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali) show that equal opportunity policies in Italy have been ineffective, with serious imbalances remaining between men and women in this regard. On average, women in employment only earn half the amount of their male counterparts. The annual wage gap between both sexes ranges from €3,800 for employees on an open-ended employment contract to €10,000 for freelance workers. Generally, men's income levels are higher than those attained by women, regardless of the type of employment contract. For example, male employees earn 23% more than women, male economically independent workers earn 40% more, while salaries are 24% higher for men carrying out contract work. Furthermore, 54% of 'precarious workers' are women, and they remain in this situation for twice as long as men. Despite the fact that women have better educational levels than men, they usually carry out work requiring lower qualifications.
Work regulations and wage policies increased job security for full-time workers while lowering the probability of temporary or part-time employment, the types of employment that mothers often want. The number of children under 3 years old accepted and the daily hours offered are both very limited, meaning that for women working full-time, public child care is often not an option. For Italian women, working and having children are often two mutually exclusive pursuits.
There have been great advances in the numbers of women who are going on to higher Education in Italy compared to previous generations. Basic education is provided to all regardless of gender. Women currently exceed men in Italy with regards to tertiary education. Almost 70% of Italian women aged 25-34 had an upper secondary education in 2004 compared to only 60% of males (OECD, 2007). Women are well represented in all academic disciplines at universities in Italy, including areas such as computer science and mathematics.
Italy is ranked 89th in the Inter-Parliamentary Union's global classification of women in parliaments. Women hold only 11.5 percent of the seats in the lower house and 8.1 percent in the Senate. There are 4 female ministers in the current parliament.

Paper on "The gender dimension of business elites: Italian women directors since 1934", Authors: Andrea Goldstein, Michela Gamba (OECD).
Gender is an important, albeit understudied, dimension in the analysis of business elites. In this paper we analyse the importance of women in the board of directors of listed Italian companies since 1934. We show that women are less represented in boards in Italy than in other comparables OECD countries, but also that listed companies are less open to women than other centres of powers, such as the public administration and liberal professions. In addition, in a country where board interlocking is a key device to ensure separation between ownership and control, very few women holds multiple directorships. We then present the results of a prosopographical study on women directors in seven benchmark years: 1962, 1970, 1978, 1986, 1994, 2002, and 2007. We conclude with a discussion of various policy options to enhance board diversification in Italian listed companies.
The Women, Business and the Law
Where are laws equal for men and women?
The Women, Business and the Law, 2012 presents indicators based on laws and regulations affecting women's prospects as entrepreneurs and employees. Several of these indicators draw on the Gender Law Library, a collection of over 2,000 legal provisions impacting women's economic status. This report does not seek to judge or rank countries, but to provide information to inform discussions about women's economic rights. Women, Business and the Law provides data covering 6 areas: accessing institutions,using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit, and going to court. Read more about the methodology.

How to Store Ink for Screen Printing Machine?
To run a large screen printing company with a lot of screen printing machines may require a bulk amount of ink in store. This may be a big challenge to store this huge amount of ink. Most of the large company ensures a proper place before storing the ink in a tremendous amount. It is wise to think deeply for the storage of ink. The time and money behind your printing company will be wasted if your storage system spoil and break down your ink. So, to drive out your worry, follow the below considerations.
Proper temperature is required to store the screen printing ink. Temperature from 65 to 90 degree Fahrenheit is standard to store the ink for screen printing. Though heat cures the ink, it brings dangers when the heat is too much. Sometimes, the ink forms a consistency and gelid in the bucket, and it becomes too hot. On the other hand, when the temperature of ink storage becomes very low; the water-based ink can lose its quality and can freeze.
The temperature of ink may change for other facts, through your storage is under the heat from 95 to 90 degree. In the hot summer, the ink of your screen printing equipment having in the upper level may spoil due to excessive heat. If you keep the water-based ink in the basement, it may become freeze easily in the winter season.
You can't ignore the effect of sun ray on the ink. Though, the ink can be cured partially by the sun rays, it can destroy of your artwork and produce odd texture. You shouldn't store the ink close to the window though the temperature comes under controlling. Keep an eye on the sun rays how much heat it generates to your storage.
You also keep away your ink storage from the wall as it may become too hot during the summer sun especially in the afternoon sunlight. Don't keep the ink pots near the window after printing work where the sunlight easily can enter.
While you are using ink in your screen printing machine, you shouldn't keep the stir sticks or scoops in the ink pot to re-use the ink later. The wooden or cardboard scoops can affect the function of the ink and the texture if you store them with ink. Keeping stir sticks which can disturb the plasticize of the ink and the plasticize ratio.
You should be careful while using ink in the screen printing machine. It is better to put lids back on bucket after applying the ink as floating as lint can enter the bucket. Thus, the ink gets contaminated. If you keep your ink bucket near flash care unit and the conveyor dryer, the temperature makes ink partially cured. On the other hand, the cold place can increase the viscosity of the ink. You can stir the ink to make smooth before using the ink.
Finally, you should take care of your ink and manage a proper storage. Check and recheck your ink storage condition. After using ink in your screen printing machine, you can preserve the extra ink to save some bucks.

Players must not remove goggles when leaving the playing field. Goggles must remain on until players reach the staging or safety area when the referee gives the "Goggles Off" signal.
If goggles need to be cleaned, use the cleaning solution and tissue paper located at the cleaning table. Do not use Windex or any other commercial based cleaner.
All players are required to have paintball marker barrels covered with a device specifically designed for blocking the ball if the marker is accidentally fired, at all times. OXCC requires use of "Barrel Socks/Covers" — not "plugs." If you don't have one — we have them available for purchase (S5). They may be removed only while in game areas, target range, or at the chronograph area. This includes driving on and off of the property.
We allow semi-auto, response triggers, 3 round bursts. We do not allow full-auto mode.
Max rate of fire is 10.5bps.
All markers/guns must chronograph under 280fps. Players must check their guns before play and should check their guns several times a days to make sure they do not shoot over 280fps. Referees will have calibrators on them during play and can check your gun. If your gun is over 280fps you may be removed from the park.
No shooting or dry shoot in the staging area and parking area. The chrono/target range and field are the only places where firing is allowed.
We do not allow any outside paintballs at our parks. We only use a premium grade paintball that is safe for the environment.
First Strike rounds may only be used for walk-on MagFed days and Events. They are not permitted for normal walk-on play. Players must chrono FS rounds and be under the required FPS in order to enter the field of play. Markers thats are MagFed must remove the Mags when exiting the field for safety and can only put the mags in after entering the field of play.
All FS rounds must be purchased at the field!

You may get covered with paint but we consider it good, clean fun!
If the paintball splatters after hitting a tree or other object and that splatter hits the player, the player is not eliminated.
Any spec of paint from a Paint Grenade eliminates a player. No matter the size or the mark left.
Marker hits DO count. Goggle hits DO count.
If you call yourself hit without a break, you're still out.
When a player has been hit in a location that he cannot see, he may call for a paint check. The player must call "PAINTCHECK ME" and continue to play. A judge will come over to check the player for a hit, do not stop playing. If the judge feels it necessary to move the player to check him, he will call the player neutral by shouting out "THIS PLAYER IS NEUTRAL", and will place a hand on the player. If you see a judge with his hand on a player, that player is neutral. Neutral players may not to be fired upon, and they may not fire. Neutral players may not move, and no player may move to improve their position on this player. Once the paint check has been resolved the judge will call the player in or out, and the game will resume.
A player may call a paint check on another player if he is reasonably sure the player has been hit and marked. To do this the player calling the paint check must say "PAINTCHECK" FOLLOWED BY THE LOCATION AND IF POSSIBLE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAYER TO BE CHECKED. (i.e. "paint check the guy in the black sweatshirt behind the blue barrel to my right"). The more exact the location and the description that is given, the faster your paint check will be executed. Judges will not respond to a player simply calling "Paint check". If paint checks are called excessively or needlessly the judge may eliminate the player calling the checks. When calling a paint check on another player you may not move on that player, but you should continue to fire. You should encourage players who you believe you have eliminated to check themselves by calling out "CHECK YOURSELF PLEASE". Again, be as specific as possible by telling the player exactly where to check. When a player checks himself, you must stop firing at him.
If you shoot a player, and he is hit, QUIT SHOOTING!!!! Excessive Shooting will cause you to be ejected from the game. Be careful not to shoot players that are "out" and are leaving the field.
When hit, shout "Hit!" loud enough for those in your vicinity to clearly hear you, raise your marker in the air pointing upwards, and make your way off the field keeping your marker in the air. Be for you leave the field make sure your barrel plug is in.
A player can surrender at anytime. You do not have to wait to be hit. To surrender shout "Surrender", "Hit" or "Out" and put your gun up over your head to show you are out. Head back to the staging area.
If a player holds their gun with both hands stretched out over his/her head, no one is to shoot at the player. This movement is only allowed if the player is eliminated, or in a case of emergency.
Eliminated players should head back to the staging/safety area.
Eliminated players are not allowed to talk to or signal live players.
Eliminated players cannot shoot while walking out of the field, nor are they to be shot at.
If you go out-of-bounds, you're out of the game. Hits made by anyone out-of-bounds do not count.
If you are caught rubbing off paint while in the game to avoid calling yourself "out", you will not be allowed to play. Cheaters will not be tolerated.
There is a 15 – 20 foot "Bang Rule" ! It is forbidden to shoot from a distance under 15 feet without asking the other player to surrender first. That player can then yell "I am out" & put their barrel plug on. If they refuse to surrender and move to shoot you, you may shoot the player. There is less shame in surrendering than there is pain from getting hit from 15 feet away.
Listen for referee's instruction at all times.
The game is over after a referee calls "Game Over". A player or Referee can end a game if there in a Emergency (like an injured player) by yelling "911" or "MAN DOWN". If a game is stopped all players should plug their marker and leave the field.
Head back to staging/safety area.
Player cannot shoot while walking out of the field, nor are they to be shot at.

Whether you're pursuing an accelerated health care training program for a forward-facing, extroverted profession like medical assisting or have your sights set on something a little more secluded such a medical laboratory technician, working as a member of a cross-collaborative team is inevitable. Most often, in an entry-level position, you'll be asked to integrate into an existing team structure with a specific rhythm. Here are a few tips to get you started on the right foot!
Be sure to be part of the team that works toward a common goal. Without a goal, there is no collaborative team. These are great questions to ask in an interview. Discuss why the team exists, allow each team member to talk about commitment, create posters that portray the team as one unit and use a common purpose to lead the team's actions. This way, you'll all be working together to achieve the goal.
Think back to your time during your accelerated health care training program, you went quickly from viewing your classmates as strangers, to friends to family. Right? Getting to know your team is one of the quickest ways to build trust. You can also develop trust by being upfront, eliminating conflicts of interests, giving team members the benefit of the doubt and avoid gossiping behind each other's back.
Keep in mind that your team members come from all walks of life and have different perspectives. Take the time to learn as much as you can from your team members and evaluate new ideas based on merit.
Sometimes, people forget why they are a team. Be aware of the team's group dynamics and relationships. Praise individual efforts and hold team celebrations for achieving results. These strategies will keep that balance.
Try to understand all angles and seek to clear up any misunderstandings quickly. Take responsibility for being heard and accurately understood.
Having each team member know their roles and responsibilities yields clarification. Each team member knows what's expected of them. Achieve this by reviewing roles frequently, clarifying responsibilities when action planning and find ways to help each other. "The core benefit of collaboration is the ability to share knowledge and expertise quickly and easily," Elliot Gordon, a writer at WeSpire, suggests, "This sharing leads to better products and innovations, which in turn drives better profitability, employee engagement and employee satisfaction." Collaborative team environments don't just happen. It takes effort on behalf of each team member. It needs to be built. By implementing these tips, you can put your accelerated health care training program to work for you by easily and seamlessly integrating yourself into a new health care environment.


Federal MP Bob Katter has blasted authorities for what he calls "excessive" road closures in times of flood, and admitted to previously driving around a road closed sign after a flood event.
But his comments have been described as "madness" by Queensland Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford.
Mr Katter said "stupid" and "irresponsible" road closures had brought the north Queensland economy to a standstill, both during recent floods as well as in the past.
"We've had a plethora of telephone calls all over north Queensland with the most ridiculous road closures," he said.
"This has just got to stop … I'm talking about cases where there is 8 inches [20 centimetres] of water across the road, and there was no flow in it at all. Stagnant. And those are the sort of cases we're confronting all the time.
"Power going to people's heads. They enjoy throwing their weight around and ordering people around and 'Oh, we're protecting you'.
"Safety Nazism is alive and well when we get a shower of rain in north Queensland.
"You have got to realise have no right to stop the whole economy of north Queensland from occurring."
Mr Katter admitted that, after a previous rain event, he drove on a closed road at Murray Upper near Tully to reach a banana farmer.
He said the farmer had been barred from getting his crop to market despite there being no water on the road.
"I went around the no-go sign and drove the road myself," he said.
"It's my job as a member of parliament to do these things, and you can't stop me in the carrying out of my duties, and if you do, you've committed a crime, not me.
"So it's my duty to go up there and have a look. When I had a look there wasn't anything like any water, but there was $2 million worth of bananas with no electricity and they were all going bad."
Mr Katter conceded there were cases where road closures were justified due to safety reasons, and praised SES and police who had risked their lives to rescue people who had been "stupid".
"I'm not criticising overall, but I am criticising the excessive use of power, which is causing economic disruption which cannot be justified."
He declined to comment on the case of Katter's Australian Party Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto, who was fined $150 last weekend for driving through floodwaters in Ingham.
"It may have been justified, it may not have been, I don't know anything about the case," he said.
Mr Crawford said he was astounded by Mr Katter's comments.
"It's just absolute madness," he said.
"I don't know what Bob is on at the moment, but he should know better than that.
"This is not something that you expect to hear from one of our long-term federal MPs.
"Bob knows that roads are closed for safety reasons, nothing more than safety reasons."
Mr Crawford said it was extremely reckless of Mr Katter to drive on a closed road.
"If they're still closed it's because engineers from either Main Roads or council have a concern with that road, and they will stay closed until they're safe to be opened," he said.
"This is just not the kind of standard we expect a member of parliament to be setting, let along complaining about — I'm absolutely gobsmacked, I've got to say."
Mr Crawford said he had just returned from north-west Queensland where some communities were still cut off due to flooding, and police were escorting trucks to deliver food to the areas.
"I know that every single mayor and every engineer and every CEO out there has been working tirelessly, day and night, to get their roads open, because they know the impact this causes on farmers, on supply and on industry," he said.
"I'm asking people to be patient out there, we haven't lost any lives as a result of these flood events and the storms and I'm not about to lose any now."

The scene is a distant Arctic research station, where a UFO has crashed. The investigating scientists discover that the circular craft has melted its way into the ice, which has frozen up again. While attempting to recover the ship, Captain Patrick Hendry (Kenneth Tobey) accidentally explodes the vessel, but the pilot -- at least, what seems to be the pilot -- remains frozen in a block of ice. The body is taken to base headquarters, where it is inadvertently thawed out by an electric blanket. The alien attacks the soldier guarding him and escapes into the snowy wastes. An attack dog rips off the alien's arm, whereupon Dr. Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite) discerns that "The Thing" (played by future Gunsmoke star James Arness!) is not animal but a member of the carrot family, subsisting on blood. While the misguided Carrington attempts to spawn baby "Things" with the severed arm, the parent creature wreaks murderous havoc all over the base. Female scientist Nikki (Margaret Sheridan) suggests that the best way to destroy a vegetable is to cook it. Over the protests of Carrington, who wants to reason with the "visitor" (a very foolhardy notion, as it turns out), the soldiers devise a devious method for stopping The Thing once and for all. This oversimplification of The Thing does not do full justice to the overall mood and tension of the piece, nor does it convey the lifelike "business as usual" approach taken by the residents of the military base in dealing with something beyond their understanding. A superior blend of science fiction, horror, naturalistic dialogue, and flesh-and-blood characterizations, The Thing is a model of its kind. Hal Erickson, Rovi Read Less

Matt Gaetz pens absolutely crazy op-ed about worsening teen sex scandal, says people "suck"
By Graham Gremore April 5, 2021 at 4:04pm · 25 comments
They say when you find yourself at the bottom of a ditch, stop digging. But apparently Matt Gaetz didn't get that memo because he's halfway to China right now.
In case you haven't heard, the 38-year-old frat boy/Florida lawmaker is currently under investigation for allegedly paying women, as well as a 17-year-old girl, for sex on CashApp and Apple Pay. He, of course, denies this, but The New York Times has text messages and online receipts that seem to corroborate the allegations.
Now, rather than do what anyone being federally investigated for underage sex crimes would probably do and, say, hire a lawyer, followed by maybe a publicist, Gaetz has decided to write a scathing op-ed in the Washington Examiner affirming his innocence.
Related: A brief, probably incomplete history of Matt Gaetz's sex scandals and creepiest moments (so far)
In an article dramatically titled The swamp is out to drown me with false charges, but I'm not giving up, Gaetz reminds everyone, "I am a representative in Congress, not a monk."
Of course, nobody expects him to be a monk. Only monks are expected to be monks. They do, however, expect him not to pay underage girls for sex. But we digress.
"I want to be clear about something as we process the leaks and lies from the past week," he continues. "To this point, there are exactly zero credible (or even non-credible) accusers willing to come forward by name and state on the public record that I behaved improperly toward them."
This, of course, isn't true.
Multiple media outlets have reported that an 18-year-old testified before a grand jury in Florida last week saying she had sex with Gaetz when she was still a minor. And while he may not think she's credible, the Department of Justice believes she's credible enough to have launched an investigation into the matter.
Gaetz goes on to say that he believes this is all part of an elaborate smear campaign against him, motivated by his criticisms of the Biden administration, or maybe because of his beef with Liz Cheney.
This is a vastly different explanation than he gave just last week, when he told Tucker Carlson he was the victim of a $25 million extortion plot. Or something.
"That was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever conducted."pic.twitter.com/lo2BqvxHJT
— andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) March 31, 2021
"Since I'm taking my turn under the gun, let me address the allegations against me directly," Gaetz continues. "First, I have never, ever paid for sex. And second, I, as an adult man, have not slept with a 17-year-old."
He then goes on to say he is "enjoying my current embrace of monogamy" with his fiancée Ginger Luckey, who hasn't issued any comment since the story broke last week.

"I'm a better man today than I was years ago," he writes. "Heck, I hope to be a better man than I was yesterday, every day of my life. My lifestyle of yesteryear may be different from how I live now, but it was not and is not illegal."
Except for that time he got arrested for drunk driving, of course. And all of those speeding tickets. But maybe that stuff doesn't count?
This is #MattGaetz's 2008 Drunk Driving #Mugshot. Besides Gaetz getting the charges dropped after he "refused" a breathalyzer test, he also had 16 speeding tickets from 1999-2014. This guy should be allowed to sweep the floors of congress let alone represent #FLORIDA pic.twitter.com/7wylKKlf6h
— StageWrangler🇺🇸 (@calicolocali) February 7, 2019
"My political opponents want to sensationalize and criminalize my prior sex life just as I am getting engaged to the best person I've ever known," Gaetz claims.
Then, without the slightest hint of irony, he adds, "It is regrettable that the battle of ideas should thus become so personal. But then again, when your ideas suck, you need to stoop this low."
He concludes by accusing the Justice Department of trying to "pervert the truth" and says he will "not be intimidated or extorted" before comparing himself to a gladiator.
"The battle for America's future demands gladiators," he write, "and I am going to keep getting back up and fighting, every single day."

I really, really hate being placed in the position of defending Gaetz here, but this article is just so completely and utterly wrong, I have to post. First and most important, he is not being investigated for having sex with an underage girl. The age of consent in DC is 17 and she was that old at the time of the alleged encounter. He is being investigated for having her cross state lines for immoral purposes under the Mann Act, a rather sexiest piece of legislation that should be repealed. Yes, these is evidence that he paid women, but nothing that indicates he paid them for sex. He contends and the evidence only supports that he gave them money supposedly to reimburse them for travel expenses and lodging. Lastly, one is supposed to stop digging when at the bottom of a hole, not a ditch.
His contention he is being blackmailed or extorted is likely BS, but, again, we need evidence, not mere eye rolls.
I feel slimmed just defending the creep, but facts and truth are more important, even more than good, but inaccurate, gossip.

How on earth can you state as a fact that no evidence of him paying for sex exists? That would be impossible. Just because the evidence hasn't been publicly published doesn't make it not exist. Unless you personally work in the office that is currently investigating this matter, you would have no way of making that kind of statement at this time. It'll all be brought forth in due time and then an evaluation can happen, but in the same way that you're saying not to find him guilty at this time, it's also far to early to deem him innocent either.
Mr. Stadnick
Granted the writing of this article may not be of Pulitzer caliber but the point is Matt Gaetz is a not fit to be in Congress.
The investigation of Gaetz began under the Trump Justice Department, lead by Barr. So his insistence that this is some kind of action by political opponents or extortion do not ring true and strengthen the notion that he is, in fact, hiding past actions.
Crossing state lines for immoral purposes is hardly sexist, Yes, the Mann Act applies to the trafficking of women or girls for sexual purposes or forced servitude. But overwhelmingly it is women and girls who are victimized in this way.
He contends that his payments were only reimbursement, but that contention has not yet been proven.
The investigation is being taken very seriously by conventional media, and for good reason.
The only valid criticism of this article really is Gremore's expected overwrought and breathless "journalistic" style. There is simply no basis on which to defend Gaetz.
If you like, I will amend my statement to indicate there hasn't been any evidence brought forth indicating the payment were for sex rather than travel expenses. Other than Matt being stupid enough to write "sex" in the memo line, I doubt their could be any such evidence as to his intent.
I think having a law that makes a crime out of an adult crossing a state line to have sex for money is inherently sexiest. Confine it to just women and the case is plain on its face. Apply to a minor who is at the age of consent and I still think it is too ripe for abuse. You want to make human trafficking a crime, do. That is 18 U.S. Code 1581, not the Mann Act.
BaltoSteve
Here is the rub, pun unintended, while the age of consent in DC is 16 years of age, in FL it is illegal for anyone over the age of 24 to engage in sexual conduct with someone who is 16 or 17. So the question is, did he engage in sexual conduct in one or both places. And I don't know about you, but the idea of transporting a 17 yo girl from one locale where it is illegal to another where it is perfectly fine, sounds like engaging in human sex trafficking .
What, how dare you let facts get in the way of Making Stuff Up! 🙂 Don't forget, it's only bad to hang them without proof when they're Democrats. When we do it, it's just fine. Or something.

If the girl was interviewed by a Florida Grand jury it doesn't sound like the sex was in DC.
cliche guevara
Ostensibly you are saying that what Gaetz did isn't a big deal because you are okay with what he did. Justice in the U.S. isn't based on the whims is a Queerty commentator. And seriously, the only thing more embarrassing than being a Trump boot-licker is being the boot-licker of a Trump boot-licker. Do better.

xmeet.fun – a great project for adults who want to find a sexual partner!

I haven't read anything that would make me think Gaetz is not guilty. This isn't a court of law – I don't need to apply the presumption of innocence. Aslo, I think he's following the lead of his hero down in Mar lago. He's doing the con where you are so adamant about the lie being the truth and the truth being a lie that some of the people (the ones you can fool all of the time) are going to believe that the lie is the truth. This guy is an obnoxious troll, and I hope they succeed in driving him from office and prosecuting him for any crimes, but the next representative from his district is likely to be another republican.
Either we give Gaetz the benefit of the doubt and go with innocent until proven guilty or we agree Hunter Biden is guilty of drug crimes. We really can't have it both ways.
@MacAdvisor – there's no "we" – you go your way; I'll go mine. Good luck!
@MacAdvisor
Chrisk
Why are we doing the whataboutisms? I didn't realize Hunter Bidon was a Representative of Congress.
eddiesocket
@MacAdvisor,
Hunter Biden? Huh? How did he get shoe-horned into this? What a bizarre non-sequitur. Or rather a transparently sad attempt at a whatabout from a right wing troll who isn't fooling anyone. You and your buddy Matt can keep on banging minors and claiming laws against it are sexist, you alt-right weirdo.
Hdtex
@MacAdviser piss off back over to Breitbart troll. You're PATHETIC.
Winsocki
I cannot stand Gaetz and find him a wack job and political fool and an evil man. But… I agree with MacAdvisor. As far as paying for sex… by gifts and paying bills.. That is the American way and people do it all the time but call it dating or courting. Look at it from POV of a gay life style …. consensual and twink obsessed. And Hunter Biden has no qualifications for his high paying jobs since he admits being a degenerate low life crack whore. Living with a homeless women and going sleazy hotel to hotel. I mean Gaetz is not even that lowlife. Adultery and stooping his sis in law, yuk.
It's cute when a troll account comes in says "I don't like Gaetz BUT……" Then proceeds to defend Gaetz and attack Hunter Biden.
I mean really do you even bother trying?
Your troll game is old and tired no matter what screename you use.
Thanks understand your point of view, you are in the same boat as Gaetz and paying for sex it apparently what you have to do. Don't make the mistake of assuming your situation is normal. The majority of us don't pay for sex.

Message to Ginger Lucky: RUN FAST! RUN FAR!!!
wikidBSTN
Yes, this is all motivated by the fact that some people don't like his politics. You see, Gaetz is the only person in all of Washington DC who people have a beef with – position wise. That's why he is the one and only person being "persecuted" by the liberals. Yup – makes sense.
Democrats deal with it too. Al Franken, Bill Clinton, Anthony Weener, Barney Frank, Jim McGreevy, etc.
If one objectively evaluates this man, based on all public information, even without regard to the recent and credible salacious allegations made about him, Matt Gaetz is still unfit and wholly unworthy of the honor of representing of a US Congressional district.

Gladiators? Wasn't that a line in Airplane when the pilot was making sexually suggestive comments to little Joey? Sure it was: "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" Perhaps that was not really the best metaphor for young Mr. Gaetz to choose.
Rumor has it Matt Gaetz is boinking his male press secretary… but we have our doubts

Europe Wants Ideas for Cave-Spelunking Moon Robots. Here's How You Can Help!
By Elizabeth Howell published 15 September 19
The European Space Agency is requesting ideas for ways to explore lunar caves with robotic missions. (Image credit: ESA)
As NASA makes a big push to land humans on the moon's surface by 2024, the European Space Agency (ESA) wants to learn more about the lunar caves that lie beneath.
ESA has released a call for proposals asking for creative ways to design a robotic mission that would explore these caves, which could be related to old underground lava tubes that dried up over the eons and collapsed. The campaign is available on ESA's Open Space Innovation Platform, and submissions are due by Sept. 27.
"Exploring and mapping these tubes could provide new information about the moon's geology, but they could also be an interesting option as long-term shelter for future human visitors to the moon," Franceso Sauro, director of ESA's Pangaea planetary geology astronaut training, said in a statement. "They would shield astronauts from cosmic radiation and micrometeorites and possibly provide access to icy water and other resources trapped underground."
Related: Lunar Lava Tubes Might Make Underground Moon Cities Possible
The missions have several scientific objectives associated with them, ESA explained. Future explorers would not only need to access, navigate and map the caves, but may use other resources. Some possible ideas include establishing communications between the cave and "the outside world," ESA said, while others involve instruments that could take measurements of the environment of the cave.
"Mission concepts may be based on a single rover or a distributed system of satellite, robotic or rover systems that operate together," Loredana Bessone, who is leading the hunt for ideas as head of ESA's analog field testing and exploration training, said in a statement. "Either way, we are looking for systems that would land on the lunar surface, identify and access a cave and contribute to the scientific exploration of the moon."
The statement did not say how (if at all) this would relate to NASA's exploration plans to land humans on the surface of the moon in 2024, but NASA has noted that it wants to land on the moon to establish a permanent human presence there. Lunar caves are a possible option to protect astronauts from long-term radiation on the surface, although our only knowledge of them so far comes from pictures of pits spotted from orbit.
Editors Note: This article was updated to reflect that the deadline for submissions is Sept. 27, not Oct. 31.

Locally owned coffee company Heine Brothers' Coffee continues to grow.
The roaster recently opened a new 2,000 square-foot coffee shop with a patio and drive-thru at 414 W. Daisy Lane near State Street in New Albany. It also is slated to open a location at 3541 Outer Loop soon and could open its planned store at Gottbrath Parkway and State Hwy. 62 in Jeffersonville before the end of the year, according to a news release.
"We're proud that each of our cafes, including New Albany, have their own unique feel. More than anything though, I think we continue to win over customers because we are focused on both delivering a great cup of coffee and making an impact in the community and around the world," Mike Mays, co-founder and president of Heine Brothers' Coffee, said in the release.
Unique to the New Albany store is a mural that artist Monica Mahoney is producing. It will be a replica of a vintage postcard of the second K & I Railroad Bridge, which was built in 1912.
The grand opening for the New Albany store is slated for 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 15. The first 200 customers will receive a pack, which includes a limited-edition Heine Brothers' New Albany reusable travel mug filled with special offers.

Ford 2020 Super Duty to feature 7.3-liter V8
2020 Ford F-350 | Courtesy of Ford Motor Co.
Ford Motor Co.'s locally made 2020 Super Duty will have its most powerful engine yet and feature high-tech upgrades such as wireless charging and automatic emergency braking.
The vehicle is made exclusively at Kentucky Truck Plant, which employs about 8,000.
Ford has introduced a website dedicated to the new truck and in a news release said that the truck last year was the market leader in segments including government, with a 60 percent share.
Sales for the F-Series truck, which includes the Super Duty, exceeded 900,000 last year. The truck remains one of Ford's most iconic vehicles. The vehicle last year was especially important for the company because buyers chose mostly higher-end vehicles, which have a higher profit margin.
The new vehicle, which will come available with a new 7.3-liter gasoline V8, an upgraded third-generated 5.7-liter Power Stroke diesel and an all-new 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission.
Ford said the standard engine will be a 6.2-liter gas V8, but the 7.3-liter engine is "expected to be the most powerful gas V8 in its class," while the diesel "includes a new 36,000-psi fuel injection system with all-new injectors that precisely meter and spray up to eight times per stroke to control noise levels and optimize combustion."
Available tech upgrades include the new Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel and instead use a knob "to easily steer the trailer via the reverse camera."
The new truck also will include a 4G LTE modem "with Wi-Fi access of up to 10 devices, keeping crews in communication no matter where the job might take them." Tech that helps drivers, such as lane-keeping alerts, automatic emergency braking and wireless charging are available options.
Other changes include a high-airflow grill to maximize powertrain cooling and redesigned front and rear lamps.
Ford said the new Super Duty will be the most tested pickup in its history and has "endured" more than 12 million testing miles for the 2017 model and another seven million miles for the 2020 model. —Boris Ladwig
GE Appliances recognized for workforce initiatives

GE Appliances has been recognized for innovative approaches to address workforce challenges.
GEA said in a news release that the consulting company Gartner awarded it with two "Power of the Profession" awards — "Talent Breakthrough of the Year" and "Talent Partnership of the Year" — which "recognized best practices from the most impactful and innovative supply chain initiatives."
The appliance maker said it received the awards for actions including hosting a manufacturing summit, collaborating with public and private sectors to support advanced manufacturing in the Louisville area and investing in local educational programs.
In the tight labor market, with local unemployment rates below 4 percent, GE Appliances, which employs 6,000 at Appliance Park, has struggled, like many other employers, to find and retain qualified workers.
In late 2017, the company raised its entry-level pay by $2 to $14 because it was losing workers to other local manufacturers that were offering better pay. But the company also has forged close relationships with educational institutions, including Jefferson County Public Schools, to bolster its applicant pipeline.
In October, the company said that it had partnered with JCPS to place students in 150 part-time positions in Louisville to help avoid production bottlenecks that arise when workers extend their weekends by taking off Mondays and Fridays. The program will have students work eight hours each Monday and Friday for $14 per hour and pay them $6,000 toward college tuition.
"These awards are an exciting recognition that GEA is at the forefront of changing the way manufacturing careers are viewed and ensuring young people are prepared for a workforce that is aligned with the continued growth of U.S. manufacturing," Vice President of Human Resources Tom Quick said in a news release.
The company in October also said that it planned to invest another $200 million in Louisville and add 400 jobs here on the laundry and dishwasher lines. Company officials had told Insider that a new marketing campaign, a new partnership with Crosley Corp., and a focus on innovation and connectivity have boosted the company's revenue and market share. —Boris Ladwig

A rocking chair will help you relax after a hard day of work. if you even though of making one by yourself, then follow the next steps and you will certainly succeed.
First of all you will need to choose the type of woof that you will be using for the chair.
You can use pine because it's very cheap, or a harder wood, like oak for a longer lifespan.
Next, cut two pieces of wood, with the following dimensions: 3/4 inches thick, 3 1/2 inches wide and 21 inches long.
Then mark 6 1/2 inches up from the bottom of each of the front legs. Make a notch beginning at this mark, that is 5 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inches deep. You can use a router for the job.
You can then cut a curve into the bottom and keep the top straight. Use a jigsaw for the cut. The top front support needs to be 3/4 inches thick, 5 1/2 inches wide and 25 long.
Next you will need to put glue into the notches made earlier and the place the top front support into the notches. Make sure that the top front support and the front legs are square. Secure the top front support using some screws. Let the glue dry overnight.
After the glue has set, screw the bottom front support to the inside of the front legs. This will need to be 3/4 inches thick, 1 1/2 wide, and 44 long.
The back legs will need to be 3/4 inches thick, 3 1/2 inches wide and 30 inches long. Cut angles into the top and bottom of the back legs.
Next you will need to form a middle seat support by cutting a piece of wood 3/4 inches thick, 5 1/2 inches wide and 16 inches long.
Use screws and glue to attach the back legs to the inside of the front legs. Let the glue dry. Then, lay eleven seat slats across the back legs that are 3/4 inches thick, 1 1/2 inches wide and 44 inches long. The slats need to be pre-drilled.
To create a bottom back support you will need to cut notches in each end of the board. The notches need to be 3/4 inches thick and 2 inches high. Attach the top back support at 13 to 17 inches from the bottom. After the glue has dried you can use a jigsaw to cut the top of the slats in a curve.
The armrests need to be 3/4 inches thick, 5 1/2 inches wide and 25 inches long. But you can decide on the dimensions. Glue the armrest to the back legs, leaving 1 inch of it to extend past the front leg.
Next create a lower back support of 3/4 inches thick, 3 1/2 wide and 44 long. Angle it so that it's 20 degrees from the vertical. Fix it with glue and screws to the middle back support.
Now build to rockers by gluing and screwing two pieces of 3/4 inches by 3 1/2 by 34 for each rocker. Smooth the edges after the glue has dried. Draw the curve of the rocker and then cut them. The back curve needs to be more gentle then the front curve. Glue the rockers to the chair.
Use some varnish to coat the rocking chair.

SINGAPORE: Registration Invalidated Based on Passing Off
May 5, 2015 by mirandah
In a decision dated January 2, 2015, the Hearings and Mediation Group, Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), declared registration of the trademark under number T1005905C, invalid.
Redsun Singapore Pte. Ltd (Applicant) had filed with the IPOS an application for a declaration of invalidity against the trademark registration in the name of Tsung-Tse Hsieh (Proprietor). [2015] SGIPOS1.
The Applicant had previously obtained a judgment from the High Court against the Proprietor for passing off, although this was based on a procedural failure of the Proprietor to exchange its affidavit with the Applicant, rather than the elements of passing off being established.
In the present case, the Applicant had initially sought to invalidate the Proprietor's mark on the grounds of similarity under Section 8(2)(b) of the Trade Marks Act. While the marks appear to be similar, given that both have the common denominator of "RED SUN," it was held that because they were registered in different classes and for different goods, there was no likelihood of confusion between the two. Hence, the Applicant failed on this ground. However, the Applicant was able to invalidate successfully the Proprietor's registration on the grounds of passing off based on Section 8(7)(a) of the Trade Marks Act.
To establish passing off, the following points were decided:
The Applicant had adduced evidence of use and promotion of its mark, RED SUN, in the social media, print media and on air over the radio. Additionally, it had further given evidence showing its annual sales revenue as well as expenses incurred for advertising and promotion. Based on this evidence, it was determined that the Applicant had established goodwill in the business of selling tea and health supplements under the RED SUN mark.
Here, the Applicant sold tea in unprepared forms, while the Proprietor sold ready-to-drink bubble tea through an outlet in Singapore. Nevertheless, as both were selling tea, regardless of the form, the Applicant had proved that it was normal practice for businesses selling unprepared beverages to expand into the field of selling prepared beverages and vice versa. Given the similarity of the appearances of both products, the element of misrepresentation was made out.
Damages were determined by the fact that the Proprietor's activity meant that the Applicant would be prevented from expanding into the field of commercial activity in which the Proprietor was already active.
This case illustrates how a trademark registration can be invalidated if a claim for passing off based on earlier use of another mark is successfully made against the later mark.
