Lelouch on Lelouch: "I'm a man of the left living in a capitalist context. [My life] is a series of improvisations day to day. I've arrived at a position where I stand in awe neither of criticism nor the critics. Everything had been said about me. Good and bad. So now I can say anything I want ... I don't make a film in order to be loved, but so that people will come and see it."
This French director emerged in the 1960s, scoring a popular international success with the romantic melodrama, "A Man and a Woman" (1966). Despite an early reputation as an "outsider" who combined social criticism with a flashy visual technique, Lelouch rapidly became assimilated into the mainstream of commercial French cinema, remaining prolific throughout three decades and often producing the films of other directors.
Lelouch had spent the earliest years of his childhood hiding from the Nazis alongside his mother. They were captured and sent to the Dachau concentration camp three months before the end of World War II. Both mother and son were liberated and returned to Paris, where they were reunited with Lelouch's father. Lelouch was an indifferent student and he failed his entrance exams into higher education. He father agreed to finance his cinematic dreams as long as the result showed promise. Traveling with his father, Lelouch made several amateur documentaries, leading to "Le Mal du siecle" (1954), a parody of war as seen through the games at a fair, that won the amateur film division of the Cannes Film Festival.
After making short films while serving in the military, Lelouch established Les Films 13, a production company, and produced, co-wrote, directed and appeared in his first feature "Le Propre de l'homme" (1960). It was a disastrous debut and he spent the next two years making backdrop short films for juke boxes (to run while music was playing) in order to pay off his debts. By 1963, Lelouch was back making films, and in 1966, he won international acclaim with "Un Homme et une femme/A Man and a Woman," which starred Anouk Aimee and Jean-Paul Belmondo as recently widowed people who find each other and love, only to have it all slip away when the woman cannot fully bury her deceased husband. Lelouch won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his work (almost unheard of for a foreign-language film) and landed a ten picture distribution deal with United Artists as well. His subsequent work has never again achieved the international notice of "Un Homme et une femme," but he has been applauded for the spontaneity of his work and the freedom of movement of his style. Lelouch has often operated the camera himself and pioneered the use of compact, light equipment. His films have run the gamut from the well-received "La Bonne annee" (1973), in which a jewel thief and an antique dealer romance, to the disastrous "Another Man, Another Chance" (1977), which starred James Caan and Genevieve Bujold in a story of the romance of an American and a French widow in the Old West. Lelouch reunited Aimee and Belmondo in 1986 in "Un Homme et une femme: Vingt ans deja/A Man and a Woman: 20 Years Later," in which the star-crossed lovers, she now a producer, he now a director, meet again. In 1995, Warner Bros. distributed Lelouch's "Les Miserables," which moved the setting of the Victor Hugo classic to World War II, and starred Belmondo. While it failed to spark at the box office, it received favorable critical notice and earned a Golden Globe Award as Best Foreign Film.

Childhood and Early Education
Julian Beever was born in Cheltenham, UK in 1959. He grew up in Melton Mowbray from the age of two in a lovely 1920 house with a nice garden and orchard. This is where he developed a keen interest in nature and a sense of wildlife.
He attended state schools and studied Art at Leeds Metropolitan University in UK from1979 till 1983.
Before doing Pavement Art
As a young man, before his artistic career, he also worked in a range of different jobs including photographer's assistant, tree-planter, carpet-fitter. He then went on as a street entertainer and Punch and Judy Man and won the national Punch and Judy championship in 1987 and 1988. Julian also worked as an Art teacher in the UK and an English teacher (TEFL) in Belgium.
Beginning as a Pavement Artist
Julian Beever is a British artist who began pavement art as a busker, drawing in different countries including the USA, Australia and Europe to fund his travels. His earlier drawings were portraits of well known people which worked best in getting immediate attention from passers-by.
Anamorphic 3D Illusions
He began anamorphic pavement illusions in early 90's. He developed his 3 dimensional or « anamorphic » pavement drawings out of curiosity and a love of the medium.
These became well known in early 2000's and commercial commissions followed.
"I got started when I was in a pedestrian street in Brussels where an old garden had been removed. This left an unusual rectangle of paving slabs. It gave me the idea to convert this in to a drawn swimming pool in the middle of the high street! It worked so well I tried other variations such as a well with people falling in. I soon realized that if you could make things appear to go into the pavement you could equally make them appear to stand out of it."
Some have dubbed him "the Pavement Picasso". He says that, although this is flattering, his work has little in common with the Spanish Master except perhaps in the fact that Picasso too was interested in 3 dimensionality in his Cubist period.
Each drawing must be seen from one special viewpoint. If the viewer moves from it, the illusion is lost and the drawing becomes an unrecognizable distortion.
"My work appeals literally to the man (and woman) in the street and is not confined in galleries or limited by the gallery system".
It is the internet that has brought it to the attention of the world. The artist is now in great demand from corporate business and has worked in at least 35 different countries.
He made a 10 part TV series « Concrete Canvas » (with ElectricSky Productions) in 2007. He has written the book « Pavement Chalk Artist » (published by Firefly), featuring his pavement art in 2011 .
He still finds time to do drawings for his own satisfaction and for their own sakes.

Reading and hearing more about the water shortage in California may not be something that registers very high on a Texan's list of things to worry about (myself included), but it provides an easy way to protest and create change... kinda.
It's easy for me to care about things that are happening in my own community. I stop watering my lawn when the restrictions kick in, but why should I care what's happening with California's water? Sure, they're only a year away from completely running out of their water reserves, but why does that affect me?
Just do a simple Google search and you'll find too many articles to even begin to dive into telling us that the end is coming for California. How does that affect us? 25% of the country's agriculture comes from California. If California runs out of water, we're all going to be paying a lot more for a salad. That doesn't affect fatties like me as much as it affects the healthy eaters.
Still, it's a trickle-down effect. California is the most-populated state in the country, and if 39 million people suddenly find themselves without water, where do you think they're going to turn for help? And by help, I'm referring to our jobs, our housing and our water.
It's a perfect "what am I supposed to do?" moment. How can I help this stupid state that doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. I'd say it's a perfect example of Hollywood being out of touch, but Hollywood-types can pack up and move anywhere in the world. It's the middle and lower-income citizens that are truly in danger, and truly out of touch with the situation.
There are still homeowners' associations in the state that won't allow residents to install fake grass, yet they'll fine residents whose grass isn't green. It's an asinine idea, but it's a totally California idea. Do we want that here in Texas? Ummmm, no way, dude.
The simple way I'm helping California help itself is by avoiding almonds in every shape, form & fashion. Yes, almonds. Every single almond takes an entire gallon of water to grow to maturity. Multiply that by the billions of almonds produced in California's orchards and you begin to see why almond production takes up a full 10% of California's ENTIRE water usage. To put it another way, almonds use more water in ONE year than the entire city of Los Angeles uses in THREE years.
One head of broccoli, one tomato, one walnut and one head of lettuce all take more than one gallon each to produce, with it taking nearly 5 1/2 gallons of water just for the single head of broccoli. We're eating healthier, but at what cost? I may come off sounding like a guy that's giving up, but I think it's time we all settle for Hot Pockets. Without broccoli.
I know my wife won't let me set THAT bad of an example for the kids. That means I'll be forced to eat my veggies. What I CAN do, however, is limit my nut intake (laugh it up, pervs). They're full of protein and taste delicious, but I'll look elsewhere for the protein it takes to keep this girlish figure.
If California isn't able to convince its (obviously illiterate) businesses to find another way to water, we can use supply and demand to DEMAND they find better irrigation practices. It may be a thousand miles away, but like Kevin Costner taught us in that Waterworld movie that nobody watched, water is important. People will fight and kill for it. Do we want that wave of 39 million desperate, thirsty people moving east, drinking our already-low Belton Lake water?
Honestly, are these two Californians the people we want living next door, drinking our water?
How did this mess happen? Find out here.


Ray Arell is the President of nuAgility, LLC and part of Corporate Outreach & Business Development at Agile Alliance. He has through is 30-year career developed and transformed several successful worldwide organizations. He is recognized as an industry leader in large-scale adoptions of Agile, lean, and complex systems engineering and innovation practices. Before nuAgility, Ray was an engineering director/engineer at Intel Corporation, where he helped deliver many cutting edge semiconductor products.
Ray's talk at the Business Agility day is titled Change Your Focus: From Speed and Efficiency to High Customer Value. He is also facilitating the pre-conference workshop Leading Your Agile Transformation.
What are the most important aspects that a leader must keep in mind while leading an Agile Transformation?
When leading an Agile transformation, several things are important. The first is that the leader must work more synergistically with their teams. This means setting meaningful goals, allow the people are doing the work to have input into the goals, and not to be afraid to revise those goals as we learn more about building the product. In other words, they need to be Agile as well.
What are the main challenges with large-scale agile adoptions and how did you overcome them?
The biggest issue is effective communications. You just can't walk over to somebody's desk and work on something together when your people are working out of 7 buildings and 3 time zones. So you need to be creative on how you segment the transformation so that you keep work flowing and optimize the value and communication streams.
Can you please explain the high-value delivery mindset and how we can cultivate it?
So Agile has always been about the delivery of value, but over the years we seem to have been more focused on delivery efficiencies. So pulling back to understanding what value is to our stakeholders is the first task in cultivating a high-value delivery mindset. Along with this, we need to look at the systems we have in place to define and measure value. Most companies have structures like DevOps to build efficiencies, but few companies have a ValueOps that is focused on making sure we are meeting the stakeholder's needs.
Tell us a little about your workshop "Leading Your Agile Transformation".
The workshop has been around now for about five years, but it was used only as an internal workshop at Intel. We did not have the time to teach it outside with our adoption going above 25K people. So by the time I retired from Intel, the workshop was in its 11threvision and has a lot of key learnings from both Intel's adoption and work that I have done with other companies. It is a dynamic workshop based on what the class needs to talk about to ensure the highest value for the day. So we start with a backlog of topics, we prioritize it, and we get to work. The one topic that is always top of the backlog is the Agile Mindset section. The reason for this is that I have found that in most certification classes we do not spend enough time talking about the key heuristics and values that enable Agile methods to work.
What are the key takeaways from your talk for the attendees? Is there something they can apply immediately to their work?
A number of things can be applied after they get back to work. I spend a lot of time retrospecting on methods I use in the workshop. So from anything about doing fast assessments on business systems too how to apply complexity based methods to measure value are all things that can be applied when the attendee goes back to work.


Choice of Weapon is the Cult's ninth studio album. Released by Cooking Vinyl and produced by Chris Gross and Bob Rock, Choice of Weapon is a multi-faceted, musical journey that rocks on all levels.
Singer, Ian Astbury digs deep into his lyrical repartee, while Billy Duffy cranks the guitar repertoires. Backed by drummer John Tempesta and bassist Chris Wyse, Choice of Weapon is a musical joust.
The Cult's straight-shooter opener, "Honey from a Knife" pulsates in a rhythmical beat that propels you forward and into the next beautiful song, "Elemental Light". Fueled by Duffy's eclectic guitar skill, every song vibrates with Ian's haunting, shamanic voice – taking you on a magical ride – from the spell of "Lucifer" to the amazing "Wilderness Now" to the visional "The Night in the City Forever".
Choice of Weapon is a perfect arrangement of musical craftiness that barrages the senses each and every time you listen. It's an extraordinary showcase of the Cult's long running span as a group. Both diehard and casual Cult listeners will enjoy: push play and repeat.

Aye Gill Pike is a Marylynn in the Yorkshire Dales Southern Fells. Although it doesn't conform to the usual image of a rugged pike that would spring to mind, neither does it quite sit in the category of the Dales mountains with a height of 556 metres (1,824 ft). It is still worth the hike as from the top you are surrounded by 360-degree views of higher fells such as Great Coum and Whernside and the Howgills.

In General Japan News,
It's not often you'll hear about a restaurant, bar or eatery suing a website for publishing a positive review, but then again, Japanese society has always had a reputation in the West for going against the grain.
An unnamed Osaka-based bar is demanding that the popular Tabelog website, which publishes customer-written reviews, remove a review and photos of the establishment as it is causing too much publicity.
The drinkery in question opened in 2010 and prides itself on being in a hard-to-find location, with guests required to ring a doorbell and ask staff to unlock an iron door.
However, Tabelog has refused to remove the client review, which it says is covered by the right to freedom of expression, the Asahi Shimbun and Nikkei business daily publications in Japan report.
"It was a way to differentiate the establishment. Our stagecraft as a secret hideaway was designed to appeal to visitors' imaginations," bar operators told Osaka District Court in a hearing last week.
They argued further that the online review "took away the elements of surprise and fun and undermined our operational strategy".
Tabelog claims to be the premier restaurant review website in Japan and has around 53 million users a month. Off the back of this success, a New York version was launched in March last year.
Sporting a similar model to the ever-popular TripAdviser, foodie users post reviews and listings of places where they have eaten so that other visitors can enjoy a similar experience.
The bar has so far gone unnamed throughout press reports of the action, but fortunately, Japan's cities have plenty to offer in the way of excellent places to eat and drink.
Osaka is particularly well-known for its okonomiyaki - a cross between pancake and pizza - and its takoyaki octopus dumplings, which can both be found in shops and pavement stalls on the main streets.

First promotional image of the LG G7 reveals a future LG G7 +

Almost a month ago the ones that were the first images of the LG G7 , showing a terminal with notch in the style of iPhone X, and Essential Phone. This would be one of the features of the smartphone that would now be confirmed after the appearance of the first promotional image of the LG G7. In the poster that we leave you right on these lines, you can see several details that shape the LG G7 . The first one we have already mentioned, its notch at the top.

But it also highlights the reduction of the side and top frames of the mobile screen, and can be one of the smartphones that has the thinnest bevels on the market.
More features of the LG G7
Of course, the attention is also drawn to the green color of the LG G7 that appears filtered in the first promotional image of the mobile. There is no doubt that it will not be the only color in which the LG G7 come to the market, but it is a most striking tone that surely has its own fans and detractors.
More features of the LG G7 … Front physical buttons are not appreciated, so the smartphone's fingerprint sensor is placed on the back, just under the device's double camera and on the Bang & Olufsen logo, a company that collaborates in the development of the LG G7 , within the audio field. In addition, the ad text reveals that the LG G7 would arrive with Artificial Intelligence and dedicated accessories? .
There will also be an LG G7 +
Besides looking at the image of the LG G7 , we have to take into account the text that appears on the promotional poster. Thanks to this we know that the flagship of the G series will arrive in two different models: the LG G7 and LG G7 + . It is expected that both phones have the same design, size and screen, so it is likely that the differences are found in the RAM and storage capacity.
The latest rumors about the LG device claim that the mobile phone would have a 6.1 inch screen FullVision which will present an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 and a resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels. How could it be otherwise, the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 845 processor. It is expected that the phone will see the light in May.

The White House Press Secretary sidestepped whether President Biden thought more immigrants should be allowed to settle in Delaware.
By slstaff October 19, 2022 Updated: October 20, 2022 3 Mins Read
Deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre takes a question from a reporter during a press briefing at the White House, on July 30, 2021.
Karine Jean-Pierre has criticized the border state governors who have sent migrants via bus to large cities like New York and Chicago.
A Washington Post reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday if President Biden would be happy to see more migrants visit his home state of Delaware as the number of border crossings continues its extraordinary increase.
As a result, the reporter is curious as to whether or not President Biden supports bringing further migrants to the state of Delaware. Jean-Pierre puts it best: "I don't know." In contrast, they were sharing the White House.
I really don't have an answer to your question. The press secretary caved to intense pressure and replied, "OK, I guess that's the end of that.
Jean-Pierre blasted border state governors for transporting thousands of migrants by bus to big cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. in his opening remarks.
They've been secretly deploying them without informing local or federal authorities, as we've seen over the previous several months and weeks."
Within that train of thinking, Jean-Pierre went farther. According to one source, this was carried out with the hope that television news networks would cover the story and use it as a political instrument.
In an effort to draw national attention to the crisis at the border, Texas Governor Greg Abbott bused more than 8,200 migrants to Washington, D.C., 3,300 to New York City, and 1,000 to Chicago this year.
"We have a president who has refused to go witness the catastrophe that he's generated on the border," Abbott said at the end of last month on Fox News. "And we have a border czar, Kamala Harris, who has failed to characterize what is happening on there."
We'll bring the border to them if they don't go there, so they can see for themselves how their actions are affecting the entire country.
Roughly fifty migrants have established their new home on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard, thanks to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's decision last month to charter a plane and bring them there. It was revealed earlier this month that DeSantis intended to move some migrants to the state of Delaware.
Up to this point in the current fiscal year, the number of migrants detained near the southern border has increased dramatically (203,000).
As a result of the latest inflow of migrants, the Biden administration has launched a fresh border enforcement effort with Mexico. The Trump administration has issued a public health order enabling the expulsion of Venezuelan nationals in light of the fast-increasing COVID-19 epidemic in Venezuela. The goal of these initiatives is to increase the frequency of checks and the rate of execution of existing anti-trafficking laws.
Earlier last month, when questioned about the likelihood of a migrant flight to Delaware, then-President Joe Biden recommended that DeSantis should visit the state to see for himself.
Get him to come by any means necessary. According to reports, Biden boasted to the press about America's beautiful shoreline.

Death by Banker
Let's assume for a minute that a true patriot, wholeheartedly devoted to saving and serving this country, was allowed to run for president. With an honest vote count he'll win by a landslide, so let's also assume that his promises were sincere, and he had every intention of keeping them. He could assemble a cabinet of loyal, intelligent, and wise advisors, and they all might work tirelessly toward the restoration of our Bill of Rights. Even if both houses of congress supporting him, what could he accomplish?
"Don't screw with us. We killed the Kennedys, we killed Lincoln, and we killed the Romanovs, too. Matter of fact, your pretty daughter looks a little bit like Anastasia, and I'll bet she can scream just as loudly. We've lain whole societies to waste, incinerated millions, starved nations, and killed Kings. We rule the world, and you live because we allow you to. You had your fun being America's hero, but now it's time for you to understand how the world really works, because you have a beautiful family, and we wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to them. We can arrange for you to live like a king, or suffer unimaginable torture, and we do this for our amusement, so I think you should work for us now."
Do you see the problem here? We're besieged by a power so deeply entrenched, so unimaginably wealthy, and so globally encompassing, that the intrigues and infighting of Washington D.C. are almost meaningless to them, despite all the importance they're given by the media. The real rulers of this nation are never mentioned in the press, because the owners of the presses serve them too.
What Americans generally refer to as our "government" is nothing but a collection criminals, perverts and whores, all fighting for a piece of the rotten pie. They'll never do anything that benefits the American people unless it's profitable for themselves, because we're the targets of their crimes. They maintain the illusion of "serving the country" because it's necessary to continuing their theft, but every last skunk in D.C. makes their cash by betraying the American people for the corporations that stuff their pockets. They'll only do as much of their job as is required to maintain the illusion of "serving" us, but they're all living like kings on a modest salary, and that never happens honestly.
Our salvation lies in our ability to look beyond the circus, and find out who pitched the tent. It doesn't make the slightest difference which party controls congress, the courts, the white house, or all three; only the rhetoric changes, but the invasion of the country continues, and someone keeps shooting kids in some vain attempt to disarm us. Open borders and disarmament have been our "government's" policy for at least thirty years, despite the vast majority of Americans being strongly opposed to both.
Well we know who's behind it. The bankers rule this country, and every other country of any importance, and their plans for global government require that Americans be disarmed, because we're the last obstacle that threatens their goal of world domination. Another bunch of kids had to die to bring the gun control debate into the forefront again, and provide an excuse to pass new laws that could never have been discussed before the carnage. That's how the population is emotionally manipulated, and since these deceptive practices are employed constantly, your only wise choice is to ignore all they have to say, and stick to America's political constant that we call the Bill of Rights.
No one can name an honest politician, or even an honest sentence that came out of one of their mouths, but Americans keep listening to them anyway, so they're either duped or entertained by this, but nothing they have to say is important; it's only deceit. Regardless of who's in power, if you're an American, you're going to keep getting taxed, robbed, imprisoned, and harassed until you die, and if this communist takeover of our country isn't stopped, your death will come a lot sooner that you're expecting.
The large populations that crowded into urban areas were important to the industrial revolution, but robots do factory jobs now, so they don't need you anymore. Farming too is increasingly mechanized, and the humans that are needed on farms will soon be replaced by robots as well. You're just in the way, consuming food and energy, claiming rights and land, and drinking precious water they need for their great grandchildren. You were profitable to them in the past, but that's no longer the case, so they've decided it's time for you to die, so they might live better.
Unfortunately, we've always been like roaches to them; continually breeding faster than we can be killed, and because we're heavily armed and so outnumber them, we have to be killed without raising too much alarm. They're forced to thread lightly or they'll incite rebellion, at which point in the game their plans are not only stopped, but moved backwards too. Yes, "heads will roll" if any rebellion gains steam, but it's never the bankers' heads because when they detect an uprising, they infiltrate and subvert that movement just as they've done with our "government."
Our Bill of Rights cannot be infiltrated and subverted unless we allow it to happen. It clearly spells out government prohibitions, as well as outlining a legal system that insures justice and fairness for all, without sacrificing any freedom. The only drawback of the Bill of Rights is that it requires eternal vigilance, and will only protect a population that's devoted to protecting it in return.
The American people have stupidly allowed their rights to be trampled in exchange for luxury, and the trampling has proceeded so far that our rights are merely a documented memory. In reality, what remains of our rights only exists rhetorically, and in the minute quantity that's necessary to prevent rebellion. As individuals, we have no rights at all. Americans are disarmed regularly for any excuse, thrown in prisons without due process, and homes are searched, and property seized without proper warrants all the time. Our common law courts have been replaced with the tyranny of arbitrarily enforced laws, and we've lost the access to the peoples' courts that once insured equality, and justice for all.
By necessity, this has been accomplished incrementally. New infringements of our rights are always being tested, and ensconced when they meet no rebellion. Whenever there is public outcry, they lift their foot off of our necks publicly, and examine how they can advance their tyranny stealthily.
Their latest attempt to advance their disarmament agenda involved the slaughter of some Floridian school kids, and if you're reading this, you already know it was another orchestrated mass murder for the purpose of emotional manipulation, so there's no need for me to pour over the lies that accompanied the event.
The bold attempt to see how far it would get them was Trump suggesting that some people should be disarmed without due process, and because this was met with outrage, they, and many of the American people, will "compromise" by accepting "red flag laws" being enacted in states throughout the nation.
Ostensibly, these red flag laws will allow for the disarmament of lunatics before they strike, but in reality, they'll be used to disarm political dissidents. The "news" will report the stories of a few obvious lunatics being disarmed, and this will allow much of the public to believe our "government" is working in our interests, allowing them to ignore the process altogether. What goes unpublicized will be patriots' doors being broken down in the middle of the night to help eliminate obstacles to the destruction of this nation.
Everyone in the White House, and the rest of our "government" is fully aware that these shootings are orchestrated theatrics, but they'll uphold the lie forever, despite any factual evidence that destroys it. From this we can only conclude that they're all determined to undermine our rights and freedom, and reduce us to mere peasants in the country we own.
The number of armed Americans is far too large for them to disarm us all, so they'll concentrate their efforts on who they believe poses the biggest threat to their tyranny, which will give a larger force, such as an invading army, a chance at success in finishing the job. Know that if the police arrive to disarm you, you're considered to be a threat, not to school kids, but to their larger schemes of destroying this nation, and ruling the world. You'll not only be disarmed, but probably institutionalized as well, because the latest excuse for disarming you is based on claims of "mental instability". You'll receive a chemically lobotomy in a mental institution, so neither your guns nor your thoughts will ever threaten their plans again.
And since they're going to disarm us individually, you're not only going to have to defend your rights individually, but be ready to defend your neighbor's rights too, because after his rights are taken, removing yours becomes easier, and we're all on their list to be slaughtered.
Whether it's the NRA, Donald Trump, Alex Jones, or tomorrow's hero, someone will always appear to fight your battle for you, and you'll always eventually discover that they're not really fighting as hard as they should be, if they're really fighting at all. You're going to have to stand up and fight your own battle, because anyone who arrives to fight it for you only exists to allow you to go back to your television, and believe everything will be fine. Nothing is fine. Our nation and our lives are under attack, and we're going to have to fight for both by ourselves if we want to secure any kind of future for ourselves and our children. No one likes the idea, but these are the cards we've been dealt.
If you can organize a weekend football game, or even a poker game, you can organize a civil defense team that's ready to defend your community from all enemies of this nation, and our Bill of Rights. If you can't organize any help at all, you should at least be helping to educate Americans by disseminating accurate information. Everyone who knows the truth joins our side, because fighting for what's right recruits its own army.
All that's need to win the war that will soon descend upon us is a little preparation, inspired by the knowledge that it's coming. Don't sit back and allow America to be destroyed. Spread the truth, and prepare to defend your nation. It's your only hope for survival, because the people who rule this world, simply don't need us around anymore. — Jolly Roger
"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." — John Fitzgerald Kennedy

THE # 1 reason for the TERMINAL STUPIDITY in this country today.
Astute assessment, as always, JR.
I remember what a relief it was back around '04 when I learned voting was a scam. Resolved to no longer participate in the charade, I felt a burden lifted from my shoulders. A few years later, I learned the same about the entirety of our government. All theater, but with the power to move the world against the people. Yes, relieved again, that I no longer have to buy into the lie. But this time, burden not lifted. The realization of the falsehood surrounding us came with an increased sense of responsibility, responsibility to not only restore freedom, but somehow rescue truth. So I certainly understand your urging the reader to "not sit back" and to "spread the truth."
I still don't know who or how many died in any of the many false flags we've had to investigate and endure. I do know, that deep suffering resulted in spite of being denied the fine details, and of course, more rights on the chopping block. Thank you, Jolly, for this treatise on what we're up against.

"What goes unpublicized will be patriots' doors being broken down in the middle of the night to help eliminate obstacles to the destruction of this nation."
What WILL 'go publicized' is the 'fact' that their computer held kiddie-porn, which is always easy to do or say, and plays on the heartstrings rather nicely to help 'publicly convict'.
….." because we're the targets of their crimes."
I find it extremely unnerving to have a target on my back, uninvited and unprovoked!
These words alone are enough to stand and fight!
Good one JR, thank you!!

It's pointless to even have humans in Congress, they're useless as a bag of rocks and are corrupt as hell. Get rid of them. Robots are more reliable.
Great article JR.
Thanks, everyone. I'm glad you liked the article, but it's nothing new to this crowd. Mary has the right idea…there are other people who need to read it, and it's always about reaching new people.

Reminded me to read all the Fritz Springmeier research on the 13 Illuminati bloodlines. It's still out there on websites and YouTube. Fritz Springmeier….interesting what happens to people who get too close to the truth and find a medium to expose it like his books. He's still active but weary.

EMDR is paternalistic often used on the client in ways that are unsafe and could harm the client.
First off, any trauma modality including Narrative, Neurofeedback, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and Talk therapy can harm the client. A Trauma therapist has a duty to provide informed consent with any modality they recommend. This means that they have told you about the risks and benefits of the modality they are using.
Second, an EMDR Therapist does EMDR with a client once they have consented and understand the risks of the modality. While some therapists without trauma theory or a good understanding of how to treat trauma might use EMDR, it is assumed that a registered professional has this understanding before practising EMDR.
Always check with your therapist about their level of training, as well as the risks of what you are consenting to before proceeding.
The Eye Movement is unnecessary and therefore useless.
A study that came out in 2008 discounting the Eye Movement as being a necessary part of EMDR, has since been disputed. Read this Research Article for more info. Some research has also been completed using other forms of bilateral stimulation such as tapping, holding tappers and binaural stimulation. These types of bilateral stimulation seem to work well and are offered as another type of bilateral stimulation.
EMDR does not work for complex trauma.
EMDR does work for complex trauma, however, because complex trauma is complex, it takes longer to treat than simple trauma. EMDR is an eight-phase protocol, with phase two ( preparation stage) sometimes taking up to a year or longer, in order to ensure that a client is well prepared for the desensitization (phase four). Unfortunately there is little to no research that actually proves that one treatment modality can effectively treat complex trauma, however, EMDR combined with other modalities has shown to be very helpful over time. Thanks to the EMDR research community, we know that EMDR surpasses other modalities in terms of research available on how to effectively treat complex trauma. Such research has shown how EMDR combined with other protocols like ego state, early trauma, hypnotherapy, DeTUR Urge, Feeling State protocol for addictions, and dissociative protocols work well in treating complex trauma.
EMDR is a technique that you can use whenever you want to but it's not therapy.
EMDR is therapy and not a technique. It is an eight-phase protocol designed to factor in safety and preparation strategies to prepare clients for desensitizing disturbing memories. Using EMDR as a technique causes harm to clients because the counsellor assumes that phase four can be used on its own without taking the rest of the phases of EMDR into account. When used correctly, the entire eight-phase protocol can take months to years of treatment.
I can get EMDR for a few sessions and my life will be totally different.
EMDR can change your life in extraordinary ways and it's not a quick fix. While EMDR does help with eliminating triggers connected to traumatic events, it does not change things that are fact. In other words, if you have asthma, EMDR is not going to cure it. While some people do benefit from EMDR very quickly, others will need to learn skills on how to cope with distress, as well as, understand how to deal with activation (nervous system) without turning to dissociative behaviours such as substance use, cutting, any addiction, or eating disorders. This, of course, takes time and commitment on the part of the client.
EMDR is a quick technique that I should be able to benefit from after a couple of sessions.
This is simply not true. EMDR is a comprehensive treatment protocol that asks the clinician to look at past, present and future targets for reprocessing. Treatment that works then would require a minimum of two to four months work and this is only in the case of a person who does not have coping strategies on board, such as addictive behaviours, alcohol, substances, or eating disorders. EMDR is a therapy. It is not a technique. Often EMDR works best in combination with skills training, some exposure work, and in many cases education about historical and developmental trauma.
We don't understand how EMDR works therefore, it must be bunk.

Orthopaedic cancers start in or travel to bone, muscle, or soft tissue. At The National Center for Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors, our orthopaedic oncologists are leaders in the surgical advances and innovations to treat this type of cancer, including limb-sparing surgery, a modern technique that can save an affected arm or leg and avoid amputation. Because of our experience, we frequently perform complex and revision surgeries referred from other medical centers in the country.
In addition to our advanced and compassionate clinical care, we educate students and residents with an emphasis on our surgical services and research.
Bone metastases occur when cancer cells from a primary cancer tumor spread to the bone. Bone metastases are very different than cancers that start in the bone, called primary bone cancers.
Bones are often a site of metastases for certain common tumors, such as breast and prostate cancers. Metastases can occur in any bone in the body, but are most often found in bones near the center of the body.
Once cancer has spread to the bones it is rarely able to be cured, but often it can still be treated to shrink, stop, or slow its growth. Treatment depends on the location and extent of cancer.
Local treatments, directed at a single area, include external radiation therapy, surgery, and related techniques. These treatments can help relieve pain or other symptoms caused by one or a few bone metastases.
Systematic therapies treat the whole body and include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or other medications.
After examining the results of one or more of these tests, your doctor may tell you that you need a biopsy; this biopsy may then show you have a bone sarcoma. Your physician is there to always answer any questions you have. MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center also has compassionate patient support services for newly diagnosed patients.

You've bought a piece of furniture from Ikea. You got home immediately and started assembling the thing.
It came out a little crooked, but you didn't care. You showed it off to your girlfriend and despite her best effort to sound polite, you felt offended because she said the work turned out a little awkward.
When I first built this sh-t and I thought it was awesome. And two months later I thought it was horrendously bad.
It's a common psychology effect called the Ikea Effect: building your own stuffs boosts your pride and makes you feel competent, and that could override your rationale to consider other people's opinion.
In a series of experiment, Daniel Mochon and colleagues demonstrated that people attach greater value to things they built than if the very same product was built by someone else. We are prone to reject other people's idea because we think it's inferior to ours.
Similarly, companies and managers the world over fall in love with their own ideas.
It actually reminds me of one of our ministers who launched and defended a shoddy horrible piece of logo design for the Malaysia's 55th Independence celebration several years ago.
And hey, it also serves as a poignant reminder for all of us to have someone from the outside--a person who isn't involved in your work--to give you some useful feedback before showing your work to the rest of the world.

I'm so beginner and sorry for this primary question. I have an Arduino based device which is connected to internet and i will to send an On/Off command to this device by an android app. How I can use this awesome node-red?

Q: In any binary matrix is there any efficient way to confirm one 0 in one row and rest of item is 1 in matlab? for example
A=[0 0 0;
   1 1 1;
   1 0 0;
   1 1 0;
   0 0 1];

After applying function
A=[1 1 0;
   1 1 0;
   1 1 0;
   1 0 1];

One row one zero and rest of them are one. if all are one put one zero randomly.  if more than one zero is find take random one and convert all zeros into one.

A: If what you are asking is a way to detect that each row contains a single zero, with the remaining row elements all equal to 1, then you can try this. If your matrix to be tested is an m x n matrix A then
 sum(A == 1,2)

should result in a (m x 1) matrix with all elements equal to n-1. Similarly, if every row of A has just one zero, then
sum(A == 0,2)

should return a (m x 1) matrix with elements all equal to 1. The kind of matrix you require should then satisfy
sum(sum(A == 1,2) == (n-1)) = m

and
sum(sum(A == 0,2) == (n-1)) = m

I am not sure if this is what you are actually asking as your question is quite unclear, but this does actually do what the question title itself is asking (depending on your definition of efficient of course).

Is the financial services still an attractive career option? Robert Half research finds the City is still attractive to new entrants.
London, 20 June 2014 – Despite the instability that the financial world has faced over the years, financial services executives still see the industry as a rewarding career with interesting work. With economic optimism prompting renewed job movement plus the end of the academic year bringing new entrants into the market, new analysis from specialist recruiter Robert Half UK shows the majority1 (88%) agree that the city is still an attractive career option.
More than half of financial services executives (57%) find the financial reward of working in the City most attractive, followed by career progression opportunities (16%) and interesting work (15%). Whilst four in 10 (39%) respondents believe its reputation that makes the financial services industry an unappealing career option, more than eight in 10 (87%) businesses have put factors in place to counteract this and improve their employer brand.
With the jobs market showing increased signs of buoyancy, businesses are putting effective measures in place to stay competitive and retain key employees. Almost half (48%) of UK businesses have implemented flexible working, rising to 64% of large companies. Remote working, (34%) and an improved work environment (28%) are next, with investment in corporate social responsibility at 26%. This ranks above an increase in compensation and benefits (24%), highlighting the importance of the employer brand as a tool to attract and retain staff.
When asked to rank what they looked for most in management-level employees, businesses indicated that previous financial services experience followed by management experience remain most important. However, businesses are not overlooking soft skills such as strong commercial awareness, effective communication skills and a good personality.
When asked about entry-level candidates, education and qualifications are top of the list, with graduates with a first class degree most highly sought after. This is followed by candidates with a 2.1 degree, and a Masters/MBA degree coming in third. This outranks other qualities, including previous financial services work experience/internship, communication skills, personality and cultural fit.
Neil Owen, Global Practice Director, Robert Half Financial Services said: "The financial services industry remains an attractive career option, providing challenge, opportunity and reward, but times are changing and it may not be enough. Today's brightest stars have options, with the UK boasting a vibrant technology community, a multitude of entrepreneurial opportunities and a host of innovative companies, all vying for the best talent. City firms need to up their game or risk being left behind. Embracing and investing in one's employer brand – providing work environments and benefits programmes that attract, motivate and retain while also aligning to the ethos of today's workforce will ensure the industry remains the palpable choice for new entrants and experienced professionals alike.

I hate the carpet bomb general election polls in general, but with two Republicans and one Democrat I can live with it. And in the case of Florida, the key takeaway so far is that Sink runs markedly better against newcomer Scott than against McCollum. In fact, it's a seven point swing.
But it's not an even swing. Scott himself only gets two fewer points than McCollum, but Sink gains five. So yes, McCollum leads 43-35 (MoE 4.5) for a healthy 81% chance of leading. But Scott's only up 41-40 for that slim 54% lead probability.
What may be driving this is that Scott (barely) has the lowest Very favorable rating of the three candidates (14 vs 15 and 15), but the highest Very unfavorable (14 vs 13 for McCollum and 10 for Sink). Since Scott also has the highest Not Sure rate (34 vs 20 for McCollum and 29 for Sink), Scott seems to be immediately disliked by a number of voters even as others are still learning who he is.
Are Democrats particularly motivated against him, perhaps? Or maybe a set of Independents? Time will tell I suppose.
Scott's on the air in Fla with a version of the Arizona governor's "Hey Obama, illegal immigration is no laughing matter" ad. Shows Obama at the press dinner making the joke and everything. That's probably fueling the animosity against him from the Left (as Uncle Saul noted, the one thing they can't tolerate is being mocked. They know instinctively that this is kryptonite for their empty suit messiah, and he knows it too).

Who Takes Care of the Problem?
In the United States, depending on where the oil spill occurs, either the U.S. Coast Guard or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency takes charge of the spill response.
They, in turn, often call on other agencies (NOAA and the Fish and Wildlife Service are often called) for help and information. NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) offers scientific support during both oil spill response and environmental restoration efforts.
The goal of federal regulations is to prevent oil spills from happening. People who cause oil spills now must pay severe penalties, and the regulations also call for safer vessel design in the hopes of avoiding future spills. In the U.S., people who respond to oil spills must practice by conducting training drills, and people who manage vessels and facilities that store or transport oil must develop plans explaining how they would respond to a spill, so that they can respond effectively to a spill if they need to.
Because oil and oil products in the environment can cause harm, we need to prevent problems when we can. For example, by avoiding dumping oil or oily waste into the sewer or garbage, we avoid polluting the environment we live in. Sometimes, we can find ways to avoid using oil in the first place: for example, we can bicycle, walk, or take the bus rather than taking a car to some places we need to go. When we use less oil, less needs to be transported, and there's a lower risk of future oil spills. We should understand that it is because we rely on oil that we run the risk of oil spills. That means that all of us share both the responsibility for creating the problem of oil spills and the responsibility for finding ways to solve the problem.

Culture Watch: "@home," Mark Horvath and Three Wishes for Solving Homelessness
The many faces of Mark Horvath and his good friend, social media, as shown in the new film "@home." Original art by Haley Jo Lewis.
Written by Haley Jo Lewis, Seattle University communications major and project assistant, Seattle University's Project on Family Homelessness
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
Would you even think to wish for a home? Maybe a bigger one, perhaps, if you already have one.
While interviewing people who are homeless, social media pioneer and homelessness advocate Mark Horvath always ends his conversations with a question: "If you had three wishes, what would they be?"
In the new documentary about him, "@home," the people Mark interviews, without fail, wish for a home.
Mark Horvath conducting an interview with a man who is living in the tunnels under Las Vegas. Image from "@home."
A former television executive, Mark Horvath – also known as "@hardlynormal" – knows what it feels like to wish for a home; he experienced homelessness himself, twice. At one low point, he scraped together money by posing with his pet iguana for tourist photos.
In late 2008 Mark created the popular website InvisiblePeople.TV, which uses social media to share video stories of people all over America who are experiencing homelessness.
A few years ago, Mark embarked on a cross-country road trip to further document these stories, and director Susanne Suffredin followed him. Susanne is an accomplished documentary filmmaker who has worked on films like the Academy Award nominee "Hoop Dreams." Upon meeting Mark, "I was struck by the passion and crazy energy of this guy and his crazy plan," Susanne says. "He was going to end homelessness in this country and maybe even around the world. And he was going to do it using social media and YouTube."
Susanne spent three years with Mark, creating the beautiful new film "@home," a feature-length documentary that captures that crazy energy and passion of Mark's determination to end homelessness. You can see it in Seattle May 2.
It's an emotionally moving experience, to say the least. Watching "@home," I was flooded with emotions. Seeing these people struggle on our doorsteps, and hearing them get the rare opportunity to tell their own stories…I itched for a change in the way we help people who are homeless.
"@home" documents Mark's road trip – 11,000 miles across the country, filled with the stories of homeless men, women, and children. We see people whose lives have been turned upside down, and hear about their strength and survival. We meet former soccer moms, veterans, children; the faces of homelessness are not exclusive to any gender, age, or race.
We also see Mark's impact on the social media community, such as his visit to Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, where he is something of a rock star.
Mark Horvath is recognized as a leading force in social media for social justice, such as in this Huffington Post article. Image from "@home."
Vulnerability in front of and behind the camera
Because of his vulnerability, compassion and determination – and his willingness to face his own demons – Mark gives us a unique understanding into homelessness from the front lines.
Jean talks with Mark about her family's experience living in a motel. Their family of seven once had a house and vehicles, and now struggles to make ends meet though Jean works full time.
Watching "@home" can be rough at times. My heart broke at the story of a St. Louis mother, Jean, and her family of seven, living in a motel room. Despite their situation, they aim to remain positive. Jean says that anywhere her family can be together is home to them, as she begins to tear up.
Caleb is a former paramedic and an organizer of a Tent City in Ann Arbor, Mich. Caleb said he learned about running this kind of community from his experience living at Tent City 3 in Seattle. Image from "@home."
After watching this film, my perspective on homelessness changed forever; I am filled with new hope that ending homelessness IS possible. Throughout the film, we're shown not only personal stories but innovative approaches that show us success is within reach. I believe Mark. We can solve homelessness.
Social media pit stops in the homelessness landscape
Coupled with this documentary is Mark's online presence. He has more than 20,000 followers on Twitter (@hardlynormal), and millions of people have viewed his YouTube channel.
The filmmakers use creative ways to blend Mark's physical and virtual worlds. For example, throughout the film, we see snippets of his work on Twitter, as he reacts to the situation that we've just seen on film. His tweets, Facebook posts and Web site are like pit stops on this road trip, where social media is the guidebook to the landscape.
Mark is known for his frankness on social media. Here, the film illustrates his reaction to meeting a St. Louis mother named Jean, just as he had tweeted it. Image from "@home."
Believe it or not, Mark's social media work has led to amazing changes in communities nationwide. In the film, we see a farm whose produce is donated in full to soup kitchens, and we meet people who were once homeless, but have since been housed – all of this because of work Mark has done, much of it online.
What's more, because of his social media expertise, Mark is able to attract new advocates, people who may not have thought much about homelessness before.
Watch out, policymakers of America! Mark Horvath has a message for you: We can solve homelessness. Image from "@home."
"@home" is a documentary that made me feel, made me think, and gave me hope. There is something being done to help our fellow citizens escape the streets, and there are ways for us to help too. The end of homelessness will come if we work hard enough.
Like Mark says: "The number one thing I want people to know about homelessness is that we can solve it."
Following Mark's path to action

Hagel's Hearing: 7 Things We Learned
By Frank James
Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel testifies Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee during his confirmation hearing.
So what did we learn from Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel's sometimes rocky confirmation hearing Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee?
1) We learned that the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska with the reputation for speaking his mind and not sticking to his party's talking points has through the years said lots of things that could be used against him in such a setting.
And they were. Repeatedly.
Past statements opposing the U.S. troop surge in Iraq, discussing the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in Washington, and questioning U.S. sanctions policy toward Iran — all were used as cudgels in a long day of what looked suspiciously like political revenge.
Sen. John McCain skewered Hagel for opposing the U.S. troop surge in Iraq, which McCain strongly supported from its early days.
The GOP senator from Arizona's grilling of Hagel, in fact, provided one of the more dramatic moments for political payback at the hearing.
With Hagel finally before him, McCain pressed his former Senate colleague on whether he still thought the surge, widely viewed as a success for reducing violence in Iraq in 2007 and beyond, was a mistake.
McCain: I would like [you] to answer whether you were right or wrong, and then you are free to elaborate.
Hagel: Well, I'm not going to give you a yes or no answer on a lot of things today.
McCain: Well, let the record show that you refused to answer that question. Now please go ahead.
Hagel: Well, if you would like me to explain why --
McCain: Oh, I actually would like an answer. Yes or no.
Hagel: Well, I'm not going to give you a yes or no.
McCain: OK.
But it wasn't OK, as Hagel was reminded by nearly every Republican senator who questioned him.
2) We learned how easy it is to slip up during a confirmation hearing. Hagel, who already was being accused of being soft on Iran by his Republican critics, at one point referred to Iran as a "legitimate government."
He immediately realized how that could sound to some people and explained he was merely saying that the Iranian government was recognized by the U.N. and in the community of nations. Later, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, gave Hagel a chance to further clarify the remark.
3) We were reminded, once again, that all politics remain local.
Sen. Deb Fischer, a Nebraska Republican who just joined the Senate in January, gave no quarter to her fellow Nebraskan. She went to a place where even Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, one of the Senate's most unbridled conservatives, didn't tread.
"You continue to hold, I believe, extreme views far to the left of even this administration," she charged, when discussing Hagel's positions on Iran sanctions.
Coincidentally or not, Hagel had supported Fischer's Democratic opponent, former Sen. Bob Kerrey, in the 2012 Nebraska Senate general election.
4) We learned that even during a time of federal budget austerity, a confirmation hearing lets senators show the folks back home that they are fighting to keep their piece of the defense pie.
Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, and Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican, urged Hagel to support a higher number of Ohio-class submarines than some experts believe necessary
Blumenthal's state is home to a major submarine base as well as General Dynamics' Electric Boat division. Ayotte, Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Angus King, a Maine independent, all mentioned the shipbuilding facilities in their states.
5) We learned that for all the talk among policymakers in recent years about the rising military power of China and the U.S. pivot toward Asia, there was almost no attention during the hearing to the Asian economic superpower. Not one senator asked Hagel a single question about China. It was a notable omission.
6) We learned that Hagel might be looking to increase his book sales, judging by the times he mentioned it — more than a dozen.
7) As to the most important question coming out of the hearing, whether Hagel has the votes to be confirmed, he certainly appeared to have strong support among Democrats on the Armed Services Committee.
Assuming his nomination is approved by the committee, which is likely, he would need 51 votes in the entire Senate for confirmation unless someone threatens to filibuster.
The Democratic caucus has 55 votes, including two independents who vote with the majority. So if only a simple majority is needed, he should be confirmed.
But virtually every controversial vote in the Senate requires 60 votes to get past a filibuster threat. In that case, Hagel would need the votes of five Republicans. Where he gets those votes is certainly something we didn't learn from the hearing.

Police release new sketch of one of the Long Island serial killer's victims
Suffolk County Police have released a news artist's sketch of one of the victims found on Gilgo Beach.

Sketch of Long Island serial killer victim Google Images
Suffolk County Police have released a news artist's sketch of one of the victims found on Gilgo Beach. Irish born Police Commissioner Richard Dormer continues to believe that the 10 bodies found over the past year are the victims of a serial killer.
The image, released on Saturday night, is police artist Danielle Gruttadaurio's impression of one of the women murdered. Gruttadaurio was able to estimate what the woman would have looked like by working with scientists on the skull found at Gilgo Beach.
Her body parts were among those of ten victims whose murders spread over 15 years. Their bodies were buried over a 20 mile area.

The sketch shows a fair haired woman with a center parting. According to reports in the local newspaper Newsday, her legs were found on Fire Island in 1996 and her skull was found near Jones Beach last April.
This is the third sketch released. Previously, the police publicized Gruttadaurio's sketch of a white woman and an Asian man who was found dressed in woman's clothes.
So far five victims have been identified: Melissa Barthelemy, 24, of the Bronx; Amber Lynn Costello, 27, of North Babylon; Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, Conn.; Megan Waterman, 22, of Scarborough, Maine; and Jessica Taylor, 20, of New York City. All of these women worked as prostitutes.
As well as the three individuals whose sketches were released, there was also a baby girl aged 16 to 32 months old found on 4th April. She was found alongside a blood relative, thought to be her mother.
These ten victims were discovered in the last year after police began searching to find New Jersey girl Shannan Gilbert. Police now believe that Gilbert died of accidental drowning. Results on her autopsy have not been released.
Although Richard Dormer, the Police Commissioner for Suffolk County, sticks by his theory that all ten victims were murdered by one serial killer on Long Island, District Attorney, Thomas Spota, has other theories and has publicly disagreed with him on this point.
