Powerful private institutions, such as the press and other media, should respect fundamental constitutional rights such as the right to a fair trial, a perspective which may require the courts to balance that right against freedom of speech and of the press. On that approach, it makes sense to refer to a conflict between two fundamental rights, the weight of which must be assessed in the context of the particular facts. This chapter discusses two types of contempt of court that clearly raise major free expression issues: attacks on the judiciary and publications that are thought likely to prejudice the fairness of future legal proceedings, particularly criminal trials. The open justice principle, under which the press and public are free to attend and report court proceedings, is also considered. Among other issues, it raises the question of whether freedom of speech entails rights of access to attend, and to film and broadcast, legal proceedings.Less

It is a commonplace observation that the law regards, and is right to regard, prior restraints on speech and writing with particular hostility. One fundamental question is whether the differences between prior restraints and penal sanctions imposed subsequent to publication are sufficiently serious to justify the traditional hostility to the former shown in American jurisprudence and reflected, to some extent, in European legal provisions such as the German Basic Law. A related question is whether all forms of prior restraint should be subject to the same degree of suspicion or hostility. This chapter examines issues related to prior restraints as well as the censorship of plays, films, and video, the use of prior restraints to prohibit the disclosure of official secrets and other confidential information, and the role of these restraints in contempt of court and the allocation of permits to hold public meetings. The chapter concludes by discussing whether the law should be equally critical of private censorship.Less

This chapter discusses the summary jurisdiction of the court to punish for contempt of court in Scotland. It addresses four areas. First, it says something about the nature of the power and the history of the jurisdiction. Second, it briefly examines how this power and jurisdiction appears from the perspective of a lawyer studying our legal system from outwith the common law world, specifically from a European or civilian point of view. Third, it goes on to consider the recent significant judicial review of the common law power by the European Court of Human Rights which occurred in the case of Kyprianou v Cyprus, where the court, at first instance, was comprised largely of judges from the civilian tradition. Finally, it considers how the summary jurisdiction has adapted here in Scotland to scrutiny from outside, and poses the question of whether the power and jurisdiction can survive future scrutiny from outwith our system, especially from the European Court of Human Rights. It makes some reference to how other legal systems have dealt with the summary jurisdiction to punish for in facie contempt.Less

In comparison with its rich libel jurisprudence, the House has given relatively few rulings on the protection of personal privacy. Only five years ago it refused to recognise a common law privacy tort, holding in Wainwright v Home Office that it would be inappropriate for the courts to formulate a broad right of uncertain scope. But the law of confidentiality has been developed to protect personal (and official) information against disclosure by the media. This chapter discusses this topic and then looks at contempt of court and the open justice principle, where the House of Lords has been inconsistent in the weight it attaches to freedom of speech and of the press.Less

In India, contempt of court is an instrument which the people themselves have given the courts by recognizing and vesting such power in the Supreme Court and the high courts by Articles 129 and 215 of the Constitution, respectively. The importance of affording protection to judges was recognized by the Constitution makers who while giving full freedom of speech to the members of Parliament provided an Article 121 that there should be no discussion in Parliament with reference to the conduct of any judge of the Supreme Court or of a high court in the discharge of his duties except upon a motion for presenting an address to the president praying for the removal of the judge. Contempt of court is a concept which is a legacy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. This chapter examines civil contempt, criminal contempt, trial by media, Lord Denning's views on trial by media, the opinion of the European Court on Human Rights about contempt of court, and some interesting cases related to contempt.Less

This chapter reviews the performance of the UK's top court in relation to the right to free speech. It does so by considering the law on contempt of court, anonymity orders, disclosure of journalists' sources, broadcasting and advertising, blasphemy and obscenity, and defamation. It shows how on many occasions the top court has deemed over values to be more significant than that attributable to free speech. It tests the assertion that, since the litigation involving the Sunday Times and the manufacture of thalidomide, there has been a quantum leap in ensuring that the European Court's standards on free speech have been transposed into UK law. In the field of journalists' sources, for example, there still seems to be some disparity between the way the top domestic court and the Strasbourg Court interpret the relevant standards.Less

The article examines the imprisonment of Mr J Vasudevan following a Supreme Court order on 25 August 1995 that held him in contempt of Court. This was the first-time a civil servant of rank was punished for contempt. The Court even rejected his mercy petition. The sentence caused disquiet and was widely criticized. On closer examination, the order suffers from several flaws. It did not set out the factors fully. There is simply no discussion of the law; nor is there any concern with the fundamental rights involved. The decision was based on factual errors and fallacious reasoning.Less

This chapter focuses on the Supreme Court's arbitrary use of its contempt power as shown in its judgment on the case of contempt against Arundhati Roy. In the last decade and a half, the Supreme Court has shown a touchiness that is unbecoming in the highest court in the land, a selectivity in the application of the law, a total indifference to the limits of its power and, with it, a cavalier disregard for the citizen's rights when charged with contempt. This is most unfortunate in a court which the Constitution not only empowers and enjoins to enforce the fundamental rights, but makes this right of the citizen to move the court itself a fundamental right (Article 32).Less

In this chapter, the contemporary adjudicatory approach of the common law courts of Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore in free speech disputes is examined. This chapter argues that courts can engage in soft dialogic review by protecting the right of free expression through the use of common law and/or administrative law doctrines that do not foreclose legislative intervention. Section I, examines the law on defamation. Section II analyses the law on contempt of court. Finally, Section III analyses the regulatory restrictions on public assemblies. In each section, the legal position in each jurisdiction is contrasted and critiqued. In every section, the chapter shall contrast and critique the legal position in each jurisdiction and examine how the courts can apply dialogic tools of administrative and 'common law' review to reform the law in each of these areas.Less

This chapter talks about disobedience to an order of the court. One of the most important powers of a court of law is its power to give orders. Very often it has to make an order commanding a person to do something — or restraining him in some way. If he disobeys, the court has one weapon in its armoury which it can use. It can punish him for contempt of court either by fine or by imprisonment. This kind of contempt has the characteristics which are common to all contempts of court. It is a criminal offence and must be proved beyond reasonable doubt. It was laid down in Re Bramblevale Ltd. But in addition the court insisted on several requirements being strictly observed.Less

This chapter discusses Indian and comparative jurisprudence on the relationship between contempt of court and the freedom of speech. It commences with a discussion of the Constituent Assembly Debates, where three separate understandings of contempt were debated: contempt as disobedience of court orders, as interfering with the administration of justice, and as 'scandalising the court'. While the first is relatively uncontroversial, the latter two are not. The chapter focuses on the important free speech issues that arise out of the Court's 'scandalising' judgments, and how they are at odds with international jurisprudence on the point. It concludes with an examination of the Court's recent judgment in Sahara, which laid down guidelines for reporting on sub-judice issues.Less

The freedom of the press is fundamental in the British constitution. Newspapers have the right to make fair comment on matters of public interest. But this is subject to the law of libel and of contempt of court. The newspapers must not make any comment which would tend to prejudice a fair trial. If they do, they will find themselves in trouble. The most spectacular case was one that was not reported in the Law Reports. Its reports of legal decisions were unique. No other newspaper in the world had anything like it. They were written by barristers and were quoted in the courts. But on that occasion, the Daily Mirror went beyond all bounds. It came out with a banner headline — after a man called Haigh had been arrested and before he was charged. This chapter discusses such cases in detail.Less

When lawyers represented activists like the Catonsville Nine in court, Berrigan expected them to take a page from the playbook of the nonviolent revolutionaries they were defending. Their goal should be "the embarrassment and exposure of illegitimate power." This entailed acknowledging from the outset that trials of political activists were little more than charades. "There is no good reason why lawyers defending an antiwar case can't realize that a guilty verdict has been passed before the trial begins and that they are morally obligated to dramatize such a colossal effrontery to justice," he argued. Taking such extraordinary actions was imperative, even if it meant jeopardizing their professional respectability. "There is no good reason," Berrigan insisted, "why there should not be as many lawyers in jail for contempt of court as there are young men imprisoned for draft resistance."Less

Chapter 24 considers the most prominent alternative to expectation damages—specific performance. Specific performance is a judicial decree that orders a promisor to render the performance she agreed to render, on pain of a penalty for contempt of court if she does not. The principle that should govern specific-performance—the Specific-Performance Principle—is as follows: actual specific performance should be awarded unless a special moral, policy, or experiential reason suggests otherwise in a given class of cases or the promisee can achieve virtual specific performance by acquiring goods or services in the market that are equivalent to the contracted-for goods or services. Under this principle specific performance should be liberally but not routinely granted.Less

Forrest County, Mississippi, became a focal point of the civil rights movement when, in 1961, the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit against its voting registrar Theron Lynd. While thirty percent of the county's residents were black, only twelve black persons were on its voting rolls. United States v. Lynd was the first trial that resulted in the conviction of a southern registrar for contempt of court. The case served as a model for other challenges to voter discrimination in the South, and was an important influence in shaping the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This book is a comprehensive account of the groundbreaking case, written by one of the Justice Department's trial attorneys. The author, then a newly minted lawyer, traveled to Hattiesburg from Washington to help shape the federal case against Lynd. He met with and prepared the government's sixteen black witnesses who had been refused registration, found white witnesses, and was one of the lawyers during the trial. Decades later, the author returned to Mississippi and interviewed the still-living witnesses, their children, and friends. He intertwines these current reflections with commentary about the case itself. The result is an impassioned fusion of reportage, oral history, and memoir about a trial that fundamentally reshaped liberty and the South.Less

David Beckham Banned From Driving For Using Phone At The Wheel

David Beckham has been banned for driving for six months for using his mobile phone while driving his Bentley in London's West End.
The former England football captain admitted using his mobile while he was behind the wheel of his Bentley in Central London last November.
The 43-year-old was told by District Judge Catherine Moore that he would be disqualified as she gave him six additional points to the six he already had for previous speeding matters.
Prosecutor Matthew Spratt said Beckham was seen by a member of public as he drove his Bentley in "slowly moving" traffic while holding a phone.
The prosecutor said Beckham was looking at his lap and a witness said he was operating a handheld device at knee level.
"The defendant was holding the mobile phone in the upright position."
Gerrard Tyrrell, mitigating, said his client was travelling slowly and has "no recollection of the day in question or this particular incident".
He added: "There is no excuse for what took place but his view is as he cannot remember... he's going to plead guilty and that's what he's done."
Beckham was also fined £750, ordered to pay £100 to prosecution costs and a £75 surcharge fee within seven days.

Mapal Green Energy filtration solution
Mapal Green Energy's Floating Fine Bubble Aeration technology (FFBA) is used to treat domestic and industrial wastewater in lagoons and reactors.
In pulp and paper mills, waste water treatment can take on several forms, from filtering through to biological treatment process. For biological treatment to be effective, the waste water needs to be effectively aerated.
Many UK mills will use mechanical surface aeration techniques in order to supply the required oxygen for bacteria to achieve an aerobic biological treatment, especially where an activated sludge process is involved. However, mechanical surface aerators are typically expensive to operate and maintain, old, prone to breakdown, due to the number of moving parts and have considerable energy consumption, all of which adds up to relatively high operating costs.
Domestic and Industrial
Mapal Green Energy's Floating Fine Bubble Aeration technology (FFBA), is currently used by Anglian Water with further deals signed with Thames Water and United Utilities for systems to go live before the end of the year, where Mapal GE's equipment will be used to treat domestic and industrial wastewater in lagoons and reactors.
The same technology has also been deployed in South Africa in the pulp and paper sector and again in factory farming installations in Israel, where the challenges of treating aggressive and hazardous liquids echo many of the issues faced in the pulp and paper industry.
A solution, floating fine bubble aeration approaches the challenge of wastewater oxygenation by marrying the strengths of mechanical surface aeration technology, easy to install and accessible for maintenance, with the efficiency which is derived from sub surface fine bubble aeration systems. With no moving parts generating friction and driving high energy consumption, a benefit for users of Mapal Green Energy's floating fine bubble aeration system is its reduced energy bill.
Tests around the world have shown that in some cases, compared with mechanical surface aeration, a plant's energy consumption can be reduced by up to 70% using the Mapal system, with savings of 50% regularly achieved.
Simple maintenance
Mapal's UK sales manager Andy Carling said: "By substituting a surface mounted propeller for a system of blowers and fine bubble diffusers, not only is energy consumption reduced, but installation and maintenance is dramatically simplified. The system does not require a tank to be drained, nor does it need to be attached to a concrete floor. Aerators are automatically adjustable to water depth and because they float, are always level, thus delivering an even flow of oxygen within the reactor."
Mapal's units are made from robust stainless steel, so have a long life and as a modular system, the installation can be added to or taken away from quickly and easily. A technology which is creating waves amongst the UK's water utilities could change wastewater treatment in selected sectors of the pulp and paper industry too.

Finding the best energy supplier in your area doesn't have to be a difficult task.
With the Exchange Utility interactive guide to energy suppliers in your area, it's never been easier to find out which gas and electricity providers your business has access to.
If you're considering switching energy supplier, give us a call today on 0800 9777 000 to see if you could save money on your energy bills.
Which Energy Suppliers Operate in Your Area?
How much energy is used in the UK?
In the UK alone, we produce over 300 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and over 40 billion m3 of natural gas each year. However, we import a lot more energy than we export, which can drive up the cost of gas and electricity for UK homes and businesses.
There are more than 60 energy suppliers operating within the UK energy market to supply both domestic properties and businesses.
Most of these providers offer both gas and electricity, but there are a few that only offer one or the other.
Learn more about the range of energy suppliers that you can compare Exchange Utility on our supplier page.
Do energy prices differ depending on your location?
Your location can be a factor that impacts the cost of your energy supply.
If an area is more difficult to get to or is a long distance from the nearest supply plant, you may experience service disruptions during bad weather as well as higher costs.
What types of energy contract are available in your area?
Most areas within the UK will have a range of tariff offerings from a variety of UK energy providers for you to choose from.
What is the average cost of energy in the UK?
Business gas and electricity prices are always changing, so consumers often prefer to stick to fixed rate tariffs to avoid seeing an unsightly spike in their energy spend.
In September 2017, the average wholesale price of energy was 46p for gas and 47.17p for electricity, making gas the cheapest fuel out of the two.
The lowest prices that we saw in 2017 were in June when the wholesale cost fell to 39.68p for electricity and 34.84p for gas.
Want to know more about what affects the cost of wholesale energy? Click here.
What to do if you have moved premises or expanded to a new location?
Moving premises or expanding is stressful enough as it is without the added consideration of business energy bills.
Planning for this in advance can save you a great deal of bother and potential problems for your business. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be.
Who regulates energy suppliers in your area?
Ofgem is the regulator for energy supply throughout the UK. They conduct research and reports as well as handle large-scale complaints regarding supplier activities.
Ofgem operates through the European energy regulator associations ACER (Agency for the Cooperation of European Regulators) and CEER (Council of the European Energy Regulators).
You can contact Ofgem via their website to find out information, make complaints or report ongoing issues.
Where is my current energy supplier located?
UK energy suppliers often have several premises spread across the country to enable them to offer their services to a range of locations.
Ready to find out if you could save money by switching your energy supplier? It's quick and easy, just give us a call today on 0800 9777 000 to find out more.


With legends like Michael Jackson are dying due to prescription drug use, the United States is again becoming acutely aware of the prescription drug problem that exists.
Personal Health Coverage - GA.
Many GA. drug rehabilitation programs accept personal health coverage, and many private health coverage plans cover some or most of the costs associated with both outpatient and inpatient drug rehabilitation. In fact, individuals in GA. who possess personal health coverage have many drug rehab options at their disposal and can select from a wide variety of different rehabilitation programs and facilities. Because there are so many different types of health insurance as well as a myriad of treatment options that they cover, it is advised that you speak with a qualified treatment counselor who can work with the health insurance company to establish what is and what is not covered. Most private health insurance companies will work with individuals to get them in the drug treatment program which best suits their recovery needs.

Q: Creating function to have parameter to create multiple JRadioButton I am trying to create a java function where it takes 2 parameter. One is comma delimited list of string that represent what will be called for radio button. Second is comma delimited list of string that represents the variable respected to 1st parameter.
For example, If I write f1("apple,banana", "a,b"), I wanted to make JRadioButton with apple and banana along with a and b being their variable.
Is this possible?
I tried to use split(",") but I did not get too far...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I came up with following but still now luck..
static void f5(String question, String rbLabel, String rbVar, String help)
{
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog(question);

    ArrayList<String> rbLabelAL = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<String> rbVarAL = new ArrayList<String>();

    String[] token;
    String[] token2;
    token = rbLabel.split(",");
    token2 = rbVar.split(",");

    if(token.length == token2.length)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<token.length;i++)
        {
            rbLabelAL.add(token[i]);
            rbVarAL.add(token2[i]);
        }
    }
    JRadioButton(rbLabelAL(0));

}

A: Following up on my comment....if you wanted to do something like this, I would suggest creating an arraylist.
Something like.... ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
Add in your options....options.add("apple");
Then pass the arraylist into your method and create the radio buttons as such...JRadioButton(options(i));
Of course you would have to iterate through the list to create all buttons.

Sordid Lives
May 4, 2021 April 29, 2021 by tlagay
Sordid Lives creator Del Shores is back with Six Characters in Search of a Play
Sordid Lives creator Del Shores' new one-man show, directed by Emerson Collins, proves once and for all that he is not a writer, he's a self-proclaimed thief!
In Six Characters In Search Of A Play, riffing on Pirandello's classic title, Shores brings to life six one-of-a-kind characters he has met in real life that haven't quite made it into one of his plays, films or TV shows. In 90 minutes, the audience will hear the truth behind how he collected these eccentrics and their stories as he portrays his hilarious, off-the-rails encounters with them.
Shores' career took off with the play Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got The Will?) in 1987, which ran two years, winning many Los Angeles theatre awards, including LA Weekly's Best Production and Best Writing. The play has subsequently been produced in over 2,500 theatres worldwide. A movie version of Daddy's Dyin' was released in 1990 by MGM starring Beau Bridges, Tess Harper, Judge Reinhold, Keith Carradine and Beverly D'Angelo. Shores wrote the screenplay and executive produced the film.
Sordid Lives, his fourth play, opened in Los Angeles in 1996 and ran 13 sold-out months. The play went on to win 14 Drama-Logue Theatre Awards, including three for Shores for wring, directing and producing. There have since been over 300 additional stage productions of the play. In 1999, he wrote and directed the film version of Sordid Lives starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan and Beth Grant along with most of the cast from the play. Opening in only eight theatres across the country, the little film that could took in nearly two million dollars in its limited release. The movie has since become a cult phenomenon and solidified Shores reputation as a gay comedy master (and, as some have put it, "minor gay celebrity"). The film also spawned a TV series and the follow-up A Very Sordid Wedding.
Watch the trailer for Six Characters in Search of a Play below and click here to pre-order your copy. The film will be available on DVD and VOD in June. We also have two more of Shores' one-man shows – My Sordid Life and Sordid Confessions – available on-demand.

You're Invited to A Very Sordid Wedding
Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Mapa, Caroline Rhea, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan, Dale Dickey, Emerson Collins and MANY MORE will be in attendance at A Very Sordid Wedding. The long-awaited sequel to Sordid Lives, Del Shores' beloved gay cinema classic, is coming to DVD this October! With a massive ensemble cast and a plethora of hilarious story-lines, there's a whole lot going on. Brace yourself for the many updates in the official synopsis…


A beautiful bundle of fraud products have emerged over the recent years, with a seemingly simple goal in mind: automate fraud prevention.
Automated systems track many data points to generate a score denoting the riskiness of each user or action. Merchants set thresholds so that users with a score higher than "x" are considered bad, and those with a score lower than "x" are good. With systems spitting out scores based on real user data, fully automating fraud prevention should be somewhat simple, right?
Not yet. Ultimately, the best fraud prevention systems are a combination of automation and manual review.
During Christmas, your average order value might increase significantly, shipping locations can change, distances between location and delivery sometimes grow, new credit cards are added to accounts, and IP addresses can change.
A user that normally ranks low in riskiness will immediately be considered risky given these common holiday behavioral changes. An entirely automated ML model can take time to "learn" and account for these seasonal changes, causing the system to fluctuate, lose short-term trustworthiness, and ultimately, to reject perfectly good orders.
Additionally, there is a category that a purely automated system cannot protect against: Grey-Area Users. These are users that are close to the decline mark, but not quite there. As we improve our methods, fraudsters continuously do the same. This often means that fraudsters figure out pieces of the riskiness calculus and are able to strategically avoid those triggers. In a purely automated system, this allows fraudulent orders to go undetected.
So, while it is safe to say that there is a line of definitely good—with the exception of friendly fraud—the line for obviously bad is a bit blurry.
Let's think about a scale of 100.
We cannot flag this last category as obviously good or bad. In many automated systems, it would pass. In a complex fraud prevention system, an order from such a user would get flagged for additional verification through manual review.
Pure automation can reduce your malicious fraud, but not to the fullest extent. Depending on your business, these grey-area users can be a significant driver of your overall chargeback rate. To optimize for a minimum chargeback rate, your system must have a manual review component.
Manual review is the process during which extra verification takes place and often involves a person reviewing the case. It's about learning how to distinguish key characteristics associated with good and bad users, and applying that experience to specific cases in deciding whether to allow a purchase or action on your platform. It's about training your eye, and your gut, to assess gray-area situations in ways a computer cannot.
This all boils down to the fact that manual review is here to stay for at least the short-term future. As we approach the holidays, the next step is to focus on what you can do to optimize your manual review process during this upcoming holiday season.
Seasonality and fraud aren't the best of friends. Seasonality blurs the lines between good and bad customers, all while playing host to a massive spike in fraud. This triggers an increase in Grey-Area Customers and a need for more human eyes assessing these cases. So what do you do? This is the time when manual review becomes critical, yet also grows in volume significantly.
Once you're confident in your optimized manual review process, the next important piece is to hire holiday staff—an expensive proposition. Holidays are the big boost to EOY sales and you don't want to offset this by increasing costs. I get it.
A newer option in the fraud space is to outsource. You can hire a holiday team at <$10/hr that executes on the streamlined, repetitive tasks while your internal team focuses on the highly skilled, non-repetitive tasks. As long as you can simplify the process and build a strong training regimen, it's possible to outsource this work.
Outsourcing is an incredible resource that, when done correctly, can really help your business. It's extremely low-cost, frees up time for your internal team to focus on key value-added work, and forces you to evaluate your current processes with optimization in mind.
There are some basic requirements, but the key to successful outsourcing is a clearly defined, simplified process broken out into tasks. The outsourced work should be repetitive and you should have a system in place to track quality.
A successful manual review process and a successful outsourced team share a key factor: simplicity. Complexity begets confusion, so break things down wherever possible.
As you approach the holidays, get your fraud ducks in order so you can minimize loss and maximize profit as you close 2018.
Courtney Fahrer is the founder of OpsTales, an outsourcing agency based in San Francisco that enables companies to optimize staffing needs in chargeback management and fraud prevention, customer support and more. She has also served in several retail roles, including head of marketplace operations for online marketplace Wanelo.

Trump made another baseless political claim about Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci,
Trump,
Updated October 16, 2020 11:09 a.m. EDT

CNN — President Donald Trump baselessly claimed on Thursday that Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House's Coronavirus Task Force, was a Democrat when in fact he is not registered with any political party.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told CNN he isn't registered to a political party. Voter records show that, too. Fauci has also served in his current role under Democratic and Republican US presidents going back to the Reagan administration.
Trump made his claims at a North Carolina rally, once again questioning whether masks were an effective means to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and inaccurately painting Fauci as a Democrat who encouraged people to "not wear a mask under any circumstance."
"(Y)ou have my friend and he's a nice guy Tony, Tony Fauci. He's a nice guy." Trump told supporters, who booed at the mention of Fauci's name.
The President continued: "He said, 'This is not a threat. This is not a problem. Don't worry about this, it's not a problem.' That's the craziest thing. Then he said, 'Do not wear a mask. Do not wear a mask under any circumstance. Don't wear a mask -- don't, don't, don't,' right? So, we don't wear a mask, then they say 'Oh, wear a mask.' I never saw -- do you ever see any conflicts? But he's a nice guy so I keep him around, right? We'll keep him around."
Trump has repeatedly used Fauci's past comments to question whether masks are effective. But his comparison is inaccurate.
Before the virus spread globally, Fauci did say that the American people shouldn't be worried, but he was always clear that the situation could change and that public health officials needed to take it seriously. He never said, as Trump suggested, that Americans should not wear a mask under any circumstance. But Fauci was among federal public health officials appointed to the White House Coronavirus Task Force advising against non-health workers from wearing a mask early on in the pandemic, saying there was little evidence masks protect the wearers -- something that is still true.
Federal public health officials, including Fauci, have now said for several months that the science on wearing facial coverings has evolved since the early days of the pandemic. They advise that Americans should wear a facial covering to prevent the spread of the virus.
The President's and Fauci have butted heads over how to handle the coronavirus pandemic for months. And though Fauci was appointed to the White House's group of federal public health officials to address the pandemic, Trump now frequently eschews its recommendations for advice more suitable to his political mission -- "reopening" the country.
Most recently, they clashed after his comments were cut into a pro-Trump campaign.
Fauci has maintained that he has never endorsed a candidate for President and that the campaign should remove the ad. But after the dispute, Trump had mostly refrained from attacking the doctor on the campaign trail.
Fauci has also has been warning that rallies like the ones Trump is holding are "asking for trouble."
"Because when you look at what is going on in the United States, it is really very troublesome," he said earlier this week.
He warned that ignoring the pandemic is a big problem. "I think we're facing a whole lot of trouble," when discussing the rising number of daily deaths, adding, "That's a bad place to be when you're going into the cooler weather of the fall and the colder weather of the winter."

Biggar reassigned to Summerside Capitals by Acadie-Bathurst Titan
Zach Biggar played for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in Saturday's pre-season Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game against the Charlottetown Islanders at the APM Centre in Cornwall. - Jason Malloy
SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. —
Portage's Zach Biggar has been reassigned to the Summerside D. Alex MacDonald Ford Western Capitals of the Maritime Junior Hockey League.
The Acadie-Bathurst Titan announced the decision Sunday afternoon.
The defenceman was the Titan's fourth selection (27th overall) at June's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft and was one of three Titan prospects invited to Hockey Canada's under-17 development camp at the end of July. The six-foot, 178-pound blue-liner played two pre-season game, including Saturday's 4-2 win over the Charlottetown Islanders at the APM Centre in Cornwall.
Biggar will now join the Capitals for training camp after being selected in the sixth round (85th overall) in the junior A draft.

TAYUM, Abra, Jan. 2 (PIA)-- The Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education (DepEd) this town had successfully implemented the Basic Literacy Program in 2011 graduating a total of 109 completers.
Based on the report of the Tayum District ALS Coordinator (DALC) Nemesia Tauro, the 109 ALS completers came in three batches after their completion of the modular instructions and the required 800 hours of learning within the 10-months period.
The first batch of 61 completers in Basic Literacy Program (BLP) for both elementary and secondary levels of education graduated on November 8, 2011 at the ALS Training Center in Poblacion, Tayum. The main facilitator there was the Bagnus ti Biag, Inc., a private service provider contracted by the DepEd.
The second batch of 35 completers in the BLP program also for both elementary and secondary levels, who at the same time finished their livelihood training under the Technical education Skills Development Authority, were facilitated by the Tauro in Brgy. Velasco, Tayum.
Most of the ALS completers were dropouts from the Velasco Elementary School and the Gaddani National High School. The graduation exercises were held at the Velasco Elementary School last December 29, 2011.
The third batch of 13 completers in BLP was handled by Ms. Genevive Onipa, the ALS Gabay Aral sa Pamayanan (AGAP) volunteer and the graduation exercises were held at Brgy. Deet, Tayum on December 31, 2011.
Mr. Leonardo Balneg the Public Schools District Supervisor of Dolores and Tayum Districts and Ms. Cresencia T. Valeros, the Education Supervisor for ALS in Abra, both attended all the completions rites to accept and confirm their completion respectively. Dr. Maria Teresa B. Benas of the Philippine Information Agency in Abra served as guest speaker in the said events of the DepEd.
With the continuing implementation of the ALS program of DepEd, it is hoped that the illiteracy rate would go down dramatically and consequently contribute much to the decrease in poverty incidence in the province of Abra.
One of the graduates, Jocley Bordey, passed the Accreditation and Equivalency Examination (A&E) of the DepEd and she was already given her high school diploma signed by the DepEd Secretary. In Velasco, two of their graduates have already been accepted in a job because of their completion of their secondary education through the ALS.
Most of the completers have taken the A&E Exams last October 16, 2011. They will later get their acceleration depending on the result of their examination. If they pass the standards of the level of education they aspire for, they will automatically be elevated to the level of education that they deserve, like for instance, if they qualify to graduate in elementary, they can already join the first year high school in the next school year. The same thing will happen to those who pass the equivalency in the secondary level. Those who pass the secondary level will also automatically qualify to enroll in college or technical/vocational courses as the case maybe.
The ALS program allows the dropouts to go back to formal school.


A lot of people on Twitter (2 people) have asked me about shows happening around the Butterball holiday since they will be here in Austin. Generally, there are at least 3 shows a night that I would attend here in Austin but in the wake of your tryptophan-related coma there aren't that many shows to choose from. The first, and most important show, I want to highlight is Quiet Company's Twitter show. This is going down at the ND and they'll have a projector live-streaming people's tweets from the show. I think this is a clever idea BUT the ND is a warehouse and the last time I was there I had a lot of problems with the data network on my smartphone. SO, I recommend you prepare for this possibility by reminding yourself how to tweet via text message and/or use any connections you have at ND to find out the password to their wi-fi network. Tickets to the show are $10 and if you click the Quiet Company link above you can purchase them there.
Quiet Company isn't the only Twitter-addicted band playing that show at the ND Saturday night. You can also catch Love at 20, Moving Castles, and Guns of Navarone.
As far as Black Friday goes you've got two choices of show. You could keep it local by checking out the Triggermen at the Scoot Inn, which I recommend if you're on a budget as both the entry and the drinks will be MUCH less expensive than the alternative show.
Your other Friday night choice is to catch some power-pop perfection at La Zona Rosa. Bloggy fav Brendan Benson is on tour with the Posies and tickets to see them at LZR are still available. If you think you MIGHT be interested buy the tickets now as they will be more expensive on the night of the show. Also, keep in mind that they charge $4.50 for a can of Lone Star and I believe it's $5 for a strong liquor drink...you do the math.

This is What T-Pain Sounds Like Without Auto-Tune
Via NPR Music
T-Pain, the musician who popularized auto-tune to the extent where he even had his own iPhone app for it, is now showing the world in a concert for NPR, that he can in fact sing without the help of technology.
"People felt like I was using it to sound good," T-Pain told NPR. "But I was just using it to sound different."
Based on this performance, he should probably ditch the auto-tune more often.
Britney Spears Without Autotune is a Disaster
Via Yana Banx
The unedited version of the Britney Spears track "Alien" was recently leaked and definitely makes her sound like she's from another planet. The track producer William Orbit posted a statement defending the leak saying that it was a warmup track.
"I'd like to affirm that ANY singer when first at the mic at the start of a long session can make a multitude of vocalisations in order to get warmed up," Orbit wrote. "Warming up is essential if you're a pro, as it is with a runner doing stretches, and it takes a while to do properly. I've heard all manner of sounds emitted during warm-ups. The point is that it is not supposed to be shared with millions of listeners.
"A generous singer will put something down the mic to help the engineer get their systems warmed up and at the right level, maybe whilst having a cup of herb tea and checking through lyrics before the session really kicks off. It's not expected to be a 'take.'"
You tell us...do you think a Grammy Award winning vocalist would sound like this even in a warm up?


Knockando Whisky Distillery was built in 1898 and is located in Knockando, Moray. The Knockando Whisky Distillery's name derives from Scottish Gaelic "Cnoc an Dhu", meaning "Little Black Hill". The village is home to a few other small houses and the larger Knockando House, and is surrounded by woods in which there are buzzards, Red Squirrel and Roe Deer. In 1904 the distillery was purchased by W & A Gilbey, a gin producer from London, becoming part of J&B / Grand Metropolitan in the 1960s and 1970s, and is now owned by multinational firm Diageo. It was one of the first whisky distilleries in Scotland to use electric lighting. In 1905 it was linked to the railway, which connected Grantown-on-Spey to the main towns of north-east Scotland. The Knockando Whisky Distillery lies near the disused Tamdhu Station, close to the beginning of the Speyside Way.
Knockando 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a really nice 12 year old malt from Knockando. With each..

Book Review: The Husband Swap, by Louisa Leontiades
Ginny	Uncategorized	 May 5, 2015 3 Minutes
I finished The Husband Swap in a single day; partly because it's not a long book, but mostly because I was thoroughly caught up in the story. Louisa Leontiades tells the story of her first polyamorous relationship, begun as so many are when she and her husband decide to explore polyamory together. You know from the beginning it's not going to end the way they planned — the title itself is a giveaway — but the swift rise and fall of their intense love affair with another couple is captivating and poignant.
Poly folk have a habit of fixating on "mistakes." I think it's a side effect of living in a world that says your entire relationship structure is foolish and untenable. We respond saying, "No! Polyamory works, it can work! Sure, sometimes relationships self-destruct, but that's because of the mistakes people made." Do relationships right — with honesty, openness, communication, and respect — and you have love and delight multiplying on itself. If something goes wrong, find the mistakes. We view disastrous relationships didactically — learn from this and grow, learn how to do this better.
I thought of this because that mistakes-and-learning-orientation was very present in the foreword (which I didn't read until after finishing the book, and could have done without altogether), but refreshingly absent from the book itself. Yes, it's the story of a relationship — or two relationships, or eleven — that crashes and burns. But it's not told from an angle of "Here's what we did wrong, here's what you should do differently." It's just told. "Here's what happened. Here's how it felt. Here's what happened next." Four people who love each other very much, who try hard and forgive and adjust, find that ultimately, their quad is unsustainable. And this has more to do with the personalities and growth trajectories of the people involved than any specific "mistakes."
The truth is, sometimes you fall in love with someone who's a terrible fit for you. In polyamory, sometimes you fall in love with someone whose partner is a terrible fit for you. And sometimes you are a wonderful partner for somebody in one stage of your lives, but then things change, and you find after five or ten or twenty years that you're holding each other back instead of helping each other flourish. None of these necessarily come down to mistakes; they're just things that can happen, because people are complicated.
Leontiades is very clear about where she thinks the nexus of conflict and difficulty resided, but she doesn't demonize anybody. She acknowledges that the other people involved have their own stories about what happened, that they were acting out of their own needs and insecurities just as she was, and that ultimately it was the utter incompatibility of two people's needs and insecurities that caused the downfall of the entire quad.
As much as we strive for growth and self-improvement, none of us have reached enlightenment. Sometimes people make mistakes. Sometimes people have emotional needs and engrained reactions that can't just be resolved with a few weeks' striving for personal growth. Sometimes those two things look the same, maybe are the same. A lot of relationship success, I am coming to believe, is finding someone whose weak points match up with yours; whose emotional needs and stress responses play nicely with yours, rather than triggering all your own stuff.
Above all, The Husband Swap is an honest and often lovely exploration of how it feels to love hard, to challenge everything you believed, to face social disapproval, to risk the most important thing in your life on a big idea. While reading it, I experienced bubbles of delight and identification — at the weird-this-isn't-weird feeling of coming down to breakfast with your lover and your husband and his lover, at the terror of falling in love when your relationship involves more people than just yourselves, at the back and forth of sympathy, anger, alliance, and threat you can feel toward a close metamour. It left me wanting more — more poly stories, more people writing about the specific feelings and situations that I know so well, that are so rarely reflected in literature. It felt so, so good to read someone telling a story that, while nothing like any of my stories, has many of the same notes and moments underlying it. And, while the quad at the heart of the story splintered, life continued for them all. Our failings or mistakes don't have to take us to a tragic ending; they can take us to a new life.

This sounds good. I don't like when people use a relationship that didn't work out as support for the idea that that whole TYPE of relationship doesn't work. So many relationships of all types fail for so many reasons, but it doesn't seem like that means all relationships are doomed.
I certainly hope not! And I can understand the impulse to blame the type of relationship… I think it's part warding (since my relationship is different I'm safe!) and part seeking validation of your own different choices. (Poly people can be very guilty of this too.) It's scary to confront the reality that relationships are hard and don't always work out, and not always for reasons that we can control or protect against.

I have had this sitting on my shelf for a few weeks, and your review makes me want to make it my weekend reading – which I will!
For me at least, I tend to approach my whole life in a "What were the mistakes here? How can I do this better next time?" approach. That absolutely thrills every boss I've ever had.
But I so agree with the idea that, while it is important to learn from mistakes and keep growing, sometimes it's just that two people don't work together. I remember having a cognitive disconnect of massive proportions when an ex of mine insisted that ANY two people in the world could work together – they just had to figure out how to compromise (for some reason, the thing that came up in my head was a mental image of Rush Limbaugh and Gloria Steinem trying to have a relationship together). Ummmmm, no.
Sometimes there is no good answer. Or sometimes we do all we can do and it's up to the other people in our lives. Thank you for posting thing – I'm really looking forward to reading a book about relationships that can talk about the good, the bad, and how something failed but the people went on to do more loving and changing and learning and failing and going.
A difficult metamour relationship makes up a big part of the book… I suspect you would find it helpful in that "I'm not alone" way, but be aware that there's some stuff in it that might feel particularly resonant for you, in either a good or bad way.
Louisa Leontiades says:
Thanks for your review, it just came through on my feed. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ironically, it is the absence of lessons in the book which polarises the community. Many feel they don't want to associate themselves with such a text because it's 'just' a story. I feel that stories are often more powerful when they don't try to preach. Resonance comforts more than, 'here's what you did wrong'. But if you want a copy of the companion guide 'Lessons', let me know 😉
Thanks for commenting! I also have "Lessons" (I backed the campaign), though I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I can definitely understand how the absence of lessons is polarizing, but I agree that the story is more powerful on its own, and I really appreciated your sharing it.


c++ class: using a private array in a public function?
Why using public static methods in Java?
Static methods mean you do not need to instantiate the class to call the method, it does't mean you cannot call it from anywhere you want in the application.
How can a static variable (global variable) be an object in Java?
Public class requires public members (when accessing members)?
why Netty doesn't bind with public IP address & it binds with 127.0.0.1?
Should I create private variables/methods in this manner?
I solved my problem just replacing the galleries withe the new ones, everything works fine.
Is it bad form to expose public properties and methods to fragments from a Main Activity?
Can a object be private and public?
How to pass a return int to another class as String?
If you change the values to int, do the same error occurs?
how can we retrieve the publicly stored statements from Tin Can API?
Object-Oriented programming private class field + get / set or public class field?
It means the function should return a reference to a variable rather than just the value itself.
Any ideas of how make internal a base class implementation having a child class of that class public in C#?
Instead of making the class internal, you can make all members internal instead. If you do not want Base to be inherited by other assemblies, declare Base's constructor as internal.

On Eve of Bargaining, Houston Janitors Stage Protests throughout City
Posted by Laurie Couch on August 1, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 1, 2012
CONTACT: Paloma Martinez, (832) 493-4839, martinezp@seiu1.org
Supporters Mount Historic Wave of Civil Disobedience; Arrests Reach 32
More than 500 Janitors and Supporters To March through Galleria Houston during Evening Rush Hour
HOUSTON, TX— With bargaining set to resume August 2, 2012 between janitors who clean the city's most prestigious corporate offices—including JP Morgan Chase, Exxon and Chevron — and cleaning contractors, hundreds of janitors and their supporters descended on downtown Houston staging protests and visibility actions throughout the day. Ten people were arrested this morning for blocking traffic during morning rush hour and more protests are expected during the day. Read statements from the activists who were arrested here. Yesterday, seven people, including 5 janitors, were arrested after they participated in an act of peaceful, nonviolent civil disobedience at a protest in support of a living wage for Houston janitors
Today, hundreds of janitors and human rights activists in 17 cities are protesting in front of office buildings cleaned by the same cleaning contractors that employ Houston janitors—who are now on their fourth week of an unfair labor practices strike.
Janitors' actions have garnered national support and attention, with more than 32 janitors and supporters engaging in historic waves of civil disobedience in Houston over the last several weeks. National and local elected officials and civil rights leaders issued a joint statement earlier this week in support of janitors' and their supporters "struggle over our most basic values—that hard work should be rewarded with fair pay."
This statement came on the heels of Houston Mayor Parker's strong support of the janitors saying "I am calling on the contracting companies to go back to the negotiating table. Their unwillingness to talk has left the union with no other choice but civil disobedience. That is not good for the City of Houston or our economy and it is not how we do business in Houston. We work hard, we work together and we treat each other fairly. The union has made good-faith offers. Now it's time for the janitorial contractors to sit back down at the table to work out an agreement that is fair and just."
The city's janitors are paid just $9,000 annually, often clean 90+ toilets every night and work in some of the most exclusive real estate in the city. So far the cleaning contractors they work for, such as New York based ABM, have rejected paying the janitors a higher wage, claiming that $9,000 a year is a good wage.
Janitors are entering their fourth week of an unfair labor practice strike, prompted by cleaning contractors' like New York based Pritchard, New York based ABM, and Denmark based ISS retaliation against workers. Janitors voted to strike after cleaning contractors fired, threatened and intimidated workers as janitors started to speak up for fair wages and better conditions.
Despite high demand in Houston's healthy commercial real estate industry, Houston's office cleaners are some of the lowest paid in the nation—most are paid less than $9,000 a year. Cleaning contractors pay janitors working in cities with weaker markets and lower rental rates, such as Chicago, Cincinnati, Orange County, and Cleveland significantly higher wages. For example, in Detroit where vacancy rates are 6.3 percent higher, and rental rates are more than five dollars lower, janitors make over $11.17 an hour.
