Commissioner Austin Cullen looks at documents before opening statements at the Cullen Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia, in Vancouver on February 24, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck
RCMP lacked dedicated team to investigate illegal activities at casino, inquiry hears
Hearings for the inquiry are set to continue into next week and the inquiry is expected to wrap up next year
The inquiry into money laundering in B.C. has heard the RCMP didn't have the resources to investigate illegal activities at the province's largest casino, while the B.C. Lottery Corp. didn't have the authority to crack down on suspicious transactions.
Ward Clapham, the former officer-in-charge of the Richmond RCMP detachment, said he tried twice to establish a new unit linked to the River Rock Casino but his requests were denied by the city.
He told the inquiry on Wednesdayhe needed the city's approval to create the "casino crime team," but general duty front-line officers were a higher priority for Richmond than gaming.
He said he pushed for a specialized team until he left the RCMP in 2008, but the support never materialized despite the expansion of illegal gaming activities in B.C. throughout the early 2000s.
Clapham's request for funding to support such a team "caused significant friction," he added.
He said no other RCMP detachment was facing the kind of challenges they were facing with gaming activities and day-to-day policing in Richmond, which does not have its own municipal force.
Clapham also agreed that the increase in gaming brought "social costs," including serious crimes in the city.
"That whole panacea of crime includes front-line policing responsibilities like, you know, missing people, potential homicides (and) kidnappings that can be directly or indirectly related to gaming issues, to actual illegal gaming activities or crimes like money laundering" or loan sharking, he said.
The provincial government launched the inquiry after commissioning reports that outlined how money laundering was affecting real estate and housing affordability, luxury car sales and gambling in B.C.
Clapham said he hoped that some revenue from gaming would be allocated to the proposed specialized unit, but he wasn't able to convince Richmond's leaders that that was the way to go.
The inquiry also heard an integrated illegal gaming enforcement team was established in 2003, including Mounties and B.C.'s gaming policy and enforcement branch, but it was disbanded in 2009.
Gord Friesen, a former Mountie and former manager of investigations for the B.C. Lottery Corp., said he didn't have the authority to stop a transaction without proof the money was the proceeds of crime.
"If $200,000 in $20 bills wrapped in elastic bands was dropped off to somebody in a parking lot outside the casino and tendered at the cash cage, would that be a sufficiently suspicious transaction to warrant intervention?" asked Patrick McGowan, senior counsel for the inquiry commission.
It would be suspicious and reportable, replied Friesen, but such a transaction would not have been stopped without evidence that a crime was being committed.
Friesen estimated that when he first started at the River Rock, investigators with the lottery corporation made around five to 10 reports of such suspicious transactions each week.
He said the reports were made to Fintrac, Canada's financial transactions reporting centre, as well as B.C.'s gaming policy and enforcement branch and various departments within the RCMP.
Suspicious transactions increased over time, said Friesen, and the reports grew to around 25 a week.
Asked how many times someone was arrested for money laundering or loan sharking in the casino, he said, "it wasn't a lot."
The B.C. Lottery Corp. did not have the authority to dictate how much or in what form casinos could accept money as buy-ins for gaming, Friesen added.
He said the corporation was in "constant negotiations" with the gaming policy and enforcement branch to find alternatives to cash transactions.
Friesen said there was room for improvement in the lottery corporation's anti-money laundering efforts, but "as part of the tools that we had to deter this type of thing, I think we did a very good job."
Confronted with the fact that large, suspicious transactions were increasing significantly year over year, Friesen said, "we needed assistance and we weren't getting assistance."
The inquiry heard earlier this week that transactions involving as much as $800,000 were common at River Rock starting around 2010 as players hauled in bags and suitcases full of cash, often in $20 bills.
Hearings for the inquiry are set to continue into next week and the inquiry is expected to wrap up next year.

This screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

If the stunning heist of Picasso, Monet and Matisse paintings in Rotterdam, Netherlands, last month focused attention on the murky world of art theft, the gothic Saint Bavo cathedral in Ghent has been at the center of a crime that has bedeviled the art world for decades.
"The Just Judges" panel of the Van Eyck brothers' multi-panel Gothic masterpiece hasn't been seen since 1934, when chief suspect Arsene Goedertier suffered a stroke at a political rally and died after murmuring those fateful words to a confidant.
The theft has kept the country enthralled ever since, with its heady mix of priceless art and scintillating detective story.
That slowed up the investigation of the art theft, in which a minor panel of the "Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" representing St. John the Baptist, was also lifted.
The probe went nowhere until the St. John the Baptist panel was found that year in the luggage claim of a Brussels train station wrapped in brown paper. It wasn't the sign of a guilty criminal conscience — just an extortion ploy proving that the thief, or thieves, had "The Just Judges." A note demanded a million Belgian francs, a massive sum at the time, for the panel's return.
The local bishop produced only a fraction of the ransom demand and more extortion letters followed.
Then Goedertier died, yielding another clue in his apparent confession: "In my office … drawer … closet." There, copies of the old extortion letters and the draft of a new one were found.
Adding to the theft's mystique, this last one read: "'The Just Judges' are in a place where neither I nor anyone else can take it without drawing the public's attention." Police also found indecipherable drawings possibly pointing to a hiding place.
Ever since, Belgium has been in the grip of a decades-long treasure hunt, one that has drawn detectives of every ilk: cab drivers, computer scientists, lawyers and retired police inspectors, among others.
From divining rods to endoscopes to SS Nazi search parties, it has all been to no avail. Overanxious amateur sleuths have even drilled holes into important monuments on the hunch the panel might be there.
One of the more popular theories is that Goedertier, a stockbroker, may never have taken the panel out of the cathedral, but hidden it somewhere inside. But lifting every pane or tile in the massive St. Bavo would carry a prohibitive cost and risk damaging the historic edifice.
Perhaps closest to the mystery these days is art restorer Bart Devolder, at Ghent's Museum of Fine Arts. He is working on the most ambitious restoration yet of the 15th-century painting. Devolder hopes the five-year restoration will raise interest in the theft of "The Just Judges," which was replaced in 1941 by a much-lauded copy from art restorer Jozef Vander Veken.
"The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" was finished in 1432 as medieval times gave way to the Renaissance, and the work's stunning detail and sense of light were at the time unsurpassed.
Much as the restoration of Rome's Sistine Chapel a dozen years ago wiped the grime off Michelangelo's multicolored glories, there is hope the same will happen to the "Ghent Altarpiece" under Devolder's efforts.
"If we remove the yellowing varnish, people will see the genius of Van Eyck even more," Devolder said.
He made an appeal to whoever might have possession of the panel.

Did the State Parole System Fail?
The imperfections of an overcrowded justice system produced the plea bargains and parole decisions that led to the freedom of the ex-convict now charged in the slaying of six people in the Hudson Valley. That was the judgment of critics today as they examined the turning points of Nathaniel White's encounters with the law.
"The bottom line is that this man was out on parole after violent crimes and that leaves the public at great risk," said Jonnie L. Wesley, a victims' counselor in the Orange County town of Goshen, in the center of the area where the bodies of five women and a girl were found. Mr. White was charged on Tuesday with six counts of second-degree murder. The authorities are trying to see if he might be linked to other unsolved slayings in the area.
William J. Larkin Jr., State Senator from Orange County and a member of the Senate Committee on Crime and Corrections, said the case suggested a need for reform. "It raises serious questions about our parole system," Senator Larkin said. "We're too much bent on turning them out into society."
Raul Russi, the chairman of the State Board of Parole, defended the handling of the case, saying Mr. White's history had so few warning indicators that any criticism of the agency amounted to a criticism of the concept of freeing anyone convicted of a crime. In thousands of other cases that are similar, he said, parolees had returned to constructive lives.
"How long do you lock people up?" he said. "And do you give people the opportunity to become productive members of society?"
David Ernst, the spokesman for the State Division of Parole, said there was nothing in Mr. White's law enforcement records to indicate any propensity toward murder. In fact, he said, Mr. White was unusual in that he had a comparatively short criminal history compared to most people in the state's prisons.
Mr. White's arrest for three convenience store robberies in 1986 was not only his first conviction, it was his first arrest, Mr. Ernst said. When Mr. White came up for parole in 1989 after serving the minimum three years, he had earned a certificate of earned eligibility.
Prison officials give the certificate to inmates who have done everything required of them in rehabilitation programs. Under state law, a prisoner who has received a certificate is entitled to a presumption by the parole board in favor of release.
But some things in Mr. White's history were more complex than the bare record of the criminal cases.
In at least one of the convenience-store robberies, a witness said that Mr. White had been carrying a gun. No gun was found and Mr. White was convicted only of robbery, not armed robbery. Although there were three robberies, Mr. White was allowed to plead guilty to a single count. He was sentenced to 3 to 9 years in state prison; the maximum is 5 to 15 years for one count of robbery.
Mr. White was released on parole the first time on Nov. 28, 1989. Because he was known to have a problem with marijuana and alcohol that had contributed to the convenience-store robberies, Mr. Ernst said, a condition of his parole was that he abstain from substance abuse.
On April 17, 1991, Mr. White was arrested again. The charge involved displaying a razor as he held 16-year-old Caprice Lynn Roescher against her will.
According to police accounts this week, one month before the razor blade incident, on March 25, 1991, Mr. White had stabbed 29-year-old Juliana R. Frank to death and left her body on abandoned railroad tracks in Middletown in Orange County.
But when the abduction case came up in court, the Orange County District Attorney, Francis D. Phillips, said today, there was no suggestion of any link between that case and the unsolved murder of Juliana Frank. Mr. White was charged with two felonies in the razor abduction: second-degree kidnapping and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Mr. Russi, the chairman of the State Board of Parole, said an administrative law judge who reviewed the parole violation case stemming from the same incident noted that the razor charge was only a misdemeanor, and that the criminal court judge had imposed the nine-month sentence to run at the same time as Mr. White's new sentence by the board for violating his parole.
Mr. Russi also said the administrative law judge had noted that there were questions about the reliability of the victim of the razor abduction. The administrative law judge ordered Mr. White to return to prison for one year for the parole violation.
On April 23, 1992, Mr. White was again released on parole. His parole officer saw him regularly during May, June and July and he twice tested negative for drugs in July.
On July 1, 14-year-old Christine M. Klebbe was reported missing from her home in Goshen. During July, four women in their 20's and 30's were either reported missing or found dead.
Mr. Phillips, the district attorney of Orange County, which has a population of 300,000, said it might be easy to blame the criminal justice system for the murders. But he said the practicalities of keeping the courts and the prisons operating dictate that decisions be made based on the facts known to prosecutors.
To some, that answer was not satisfactory. Robert H. Berger, the deputy director of the division of forensic psychiatry at the New York University Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital Center, who has reviewed the cases of hundreds of parole violators, said that too frequently, parole boards restrict themselves to narrow legalities. They often ignore or do not have the manpower to learn other relevant information about parole applicants.
"We just have not become sophisticated enough," Dr. Berger said, "to evaluate which individuals are going to be violent and which aren't."
A result, said Mary M. McPhillips, the Orange County Executive, is that people cannot feel confident that the 50,000 convicted criminals outside the prison gates are any less dangerous than the 60,000 inside.
"We have to be very careful about who is slipping through the cracks," she said. "Because once they've slipped through the cracks, they're out there."

I followed the first example here: https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php and this snippet of code works only if the dir is /tmp
I get the following error:

A: The PHP user does not have read access to the disk.
To see the user PHP is set to, you can add this line:
echo exec('whoami`);

To fix this, give that user access to the drive.  This might mean giving at least read access to everyone.

Bush takes veiled swipe at Trump, defends immigration and trade
Former President George W. Bush decried "bullying and prejudice" while defending immigrants and trade on Thursday in a New York speech that appeared to be a sweeping, thinly veiled critique of President Donald Trump.
Bush, 71, used a rare public address to discuss nationalism, racial divisions and Russia's intervention in the 2016 election, all flashpoints of his fellow Republican's nine-month White House tenure. He did not mention Trump by name.
"Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone, provides permission for cruelty and bigotry, and compromises the moral education of children. The only way to pass along civic values is to first live up to them," Bush said at the Bush Institute's National Forum on Freedom, Free Markets and Security.
Trump has used nicknames to demean opponents, such as "Crooked Hillary" for Democrat Hillary Clinton and, more recently, "Liddle" Bob Corker for a Republican senator who dared to challenge him.
Bush, president from 2001 to 2009, emphasized the important role of immigrants and of international trade, two policy areas that Trump has cracked down on while in office.
"We've seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America," Bush said.
"We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability, and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism."
Asked whether the speech was aimed at Trump, a spokesman for Bush said the long-planned remarks echoed themes the 43rd president had discussed for years.
"The themes President Bush spoke about today are really the same themes he has spoken about for the last two decades," said Bush spokesman Freddy Ford.
Bush touted U.S. alliances abroad, something Trump has called into question, and he denounced white supremacy, which critics accused Trump of failing to do quickly and explicitly earlier this year.

The Heathkit HERO 1 (short for "Heathkit Educational Robot") was the most promising and popular programmable robot of the 1980s. Available in kit form or fully assembled, the HERO-1 included a motorized base platform, and a movable head that could sense light, sound, motion, and distance.
The earliest robots as we know them were created in the early 1950s by George C. Devol, an inventor from Louisville, Kentucky. He invented and patented a reprogrammable manipulator called "Unimate," from "Universal Automation." For the next decade, he attempted to sell his product in the industry, but did not succeed.
Prototype industrial robots were deployed in General Motors facilities as early as 1961. These first robots mainly performed spot welding. Their success soon attracted attention from Ford. In 1969, the Stanford Arm was developed.
The procedure ends in success, and Robot's mind is inserted into the cloned body of Rex Splode. Robot's original body then reawakens, wishing for the new cloned version of himself to end his suffering. The cloned version obeys this request and kills his original body.

The word by itself, none of the letters are silent. But in the case of the phrase " Robot Cop " the " t " is silent.
The first electronic autonomous robots with complex behavior were created by William Grey Walter of the Burden Neurological Institute at Bristol, England in 1948 and 1949.
A humanoid robot is a robot resembling the human body in shape. … Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.

With the help of the Mauler Twins, Robot's mind was duplicated into an artificially-grown body made from a sample of Rex Splode's blood. The clone would go on to live his own new life while the original accepted his fate and died.
Only one of us can rule. Robot to Invincible. … As it turns out, Robot is a machine controlled by the mind of genius Rudy Connors. Rudy was physically unable to live outside of a specially built pod due to outside air burning his skin, so he created Robot to live vicariously through.
Rex is beaten by one of them and Rex asks the last of them to leave. Determined to stop one of the evil Invincibles, Rex uses his power and fills his skeleton with potential energy, turning himself into a bomb. The explosion causes the Invincible's death and his own.

An English pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet. The most well known English pangram is probably "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". My favorite pangram is "Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes."
"It's pronounced JIF, not GIF." Just like the peanut butter. "The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations," Wilhite told The New York Times.
Nike chairman Phillip Knight has confirmed that it's "Nikey" not "Nike", meaning I've essentially been talking nonsense for years. The great pronunciation debate, second only to that of 'gif' and 'jif', came to a head after Knight was sent a letter asking him to circle the correct way of saying the brand name.

Well, I really do NOT have time to be doing this post, but the withdrawal is so bad that I had to! ~grin~ I'll explain more about the past week's events in #8 but for now, I'll go forth with my answers to this week's Hodgepodge. And, as always, a big thank you to Joyce who, no matter how busy she is, comes up with the best questions each week.
Am I using my time as wisely as I could and should? I am a highly organized individual and lead a very structured life, but that does NOT mean that I always use my time as wisely as I should by any means. There are so many things vying for our time and I think that balancing the things of real importance and eternal value with those of less importance is key.
No, I do not grow roses, but my husband has Fairy Roses in our back flower beds. He is about to add some Knockout Roses to the mix. They are so pretty and will be a lovely addition to our yard.
Yes, I have been given a dozen roses several times and yellow roses with reddish tips are my favorite.
I do read the freshness dates and am amazed at how often the date has passed and the goods are still on the grocery shelf. Aggravates me too death! I have, in a pinch, used eggs past their date, but generally I do not. Again, in a pinch, I have used medication that has expired. NO, I do not buy dented cans, not even in a pinch!
I think anyone can be a role model if they are deserving of it. But, the interpretation of "deserving" would differ greatly among individuals. I'll just leave it at that for now.
WOW! I've thought so much about that since my big 60th birthday last July. I want to enter heaven's gates at the end of my life and hear the Lord say, "well done thy good and faithful servant." I'm afraid that I have often failed miserably in this area but thankfully, I serve a God that has not finished with me yet. As long as I have the breath of life in me, I can continue to strive to serve Him more faithfully. Of course, being a Godly wife, mother, Grandmother and daughter and a Christian witness all enter into serving Him faithfully and I desire for that to be my greatest achievement. Hopefully I will continue to make strides in this area.
I think a lot about Hubby and I downsizing both in house and land and I would love for our town to have a subdivision with nothing but patio/garden homes. So, I would develop a "top notch" subdivision for this type of house. And, it could be for anyone, young and older. I do not care anything about ever living in an area that is confined to all one age group. I enjoy having all ages as neighbors. I can just see it now, gorgeous smaller Southern homes!
I would arrive between 6:50 and 6:55PM, anything later would be late as far as I'm concerned. ~big grin~ I don't want to miss any part of any event that I attend.
Bridget was at her husband's family reunion in Oklahoma last weekend and was over half way here, so she decided to come on and visit a few days.
Can I just say that for this "planner woman" it has been a wild ride the past few days. But, we have had a wonderful time and the best part is seeing my two precious grans enjoy spending time together.
I'll be posting about our trip and our time with our daughter when the dust settles and things get back to some kind of normalcy. ~whatever that is~ For now, I'm busy making memories!
Clancy is more than serious about that soccer ball. This was taken at his last game a couple of weeks ago. Our little cowboy enjoyed his first season of soccer.
Bridget had their pictures taken professionally a couple of weeks ago and I love, love them! Captured them so beautifully and I almost "popped another button" when I saw them.
Many of you have been with me on the journey of my Dad's major health issues these past two years. And, I, for one, would have never, ever believed that he would be alive today. But, the Lord had other plans and I just wanted all of you to see just how alive he is these days. He is steadily gaining weight, feeling much better and while he will always suffer with the affects of the GBS, he is doing amazingly well.
Have a great week and I'll return with lots of blog fodder and pictures and will look forward to sharing with you.
Oh,yes, it's Monday again! Without further adieu, I will just go forth with my random thoughts this morning. And, as always, Carissa is our lovely hostess.
Is this just the cutest!! We have a gal here in our fair city that does the most gorgeous monograming and applique work I do believe I've ever seen. My DIL and I keep her quite busy with requests for the Princess. I'm sure you can see why.
I decided to do a little embellishing around our front door this spring and I'm real pleased with the final outcome. I'm thinking I'll just change out the color of the green ribbon for fall and carry it right on through. We shall see.
I have had these artichoke statues for about 4 years and they had gotten so shabby looking. They are on our patio and I was just short of getting rid of them when Hubby had the brilliant idea of repainting them for me. Think I'll probably get another few years of use out of them. Yea!
I haven't written any letters in a few weeks and decided it was high time I did. I do love writing letters and thanks to Ashley we can do that every Friday with her as our hostess.
Dear Bridget and Windy (my daughter and DIL) - I am so proud of the mothers that you two are to my precious Grans. I pray daily for you both as you balance your life between working and mothering. You are TOPS! May you both feel very celebrated this weekend.
Dear Nicki - not only do you behave pitifully, you also dress pitifully. That's all I have to say, but I seriously hope that Idol will NOT be bringing you back next season. You pretty much ruined the show for me. If it had not been for the exceptional talent of the girls I would not have watched it this season. But, in spite of you, I have hung in there.
Dear Chevron Print - I absolutely love you!
Dear God - you really are the "peace that passes all understanding."
Dear Spring - I "think" you have finally arrived, it sure did take you long enough. Now, please don't fool us again!
Dear Momma - I cannot believe that this will be my 5th Mother's Day without you. Oh, you just would not believe all that has happened since your death. It sometimes seems that your death was the beginning of a whole lot of tough times for me. Yes, there have been some really special times as well, but not having you to encourage me during the tough times is something I have missed and will always miss. Your hand print is forever etched upon my heart and life.
Every once in a while I enjoy working on a project. I have heard so much about chalk painting and have seen so many pieces done in chalk paint that I really like. And, as I looked around our house, I saw several pieces that looked like potential candidates for chalk painting. So, I began preparing for a project in chalk painting.
As in any project, the first thing I did was gather my supplies. I decided that I would buy the chalk paint powder and make my own chalk paint. Webster's is the best and for the local gals, Nature's Hidaway carries the powder and the waxes. As far as I know, Annie Sloan is the only maker of Chalk Paint and it is around $38 a quart. ~a bit expensive for sure~ The powder is $15 and there is enough to make I quart of paint, but you make it by the cup. Two tablespoons of powder per cup of paint. And, take my word for it, a little goes a long ways. I used less than 1/2 cup on the two smaller pieces I did and I used 1 cup on the wash stand I did. You can use the chalk powder in any water base latex paint you desire and in any color. In addition to the this, you will need a a paint brush (a sash style is best and I got mine at the $$$ store and it worked just fine and never shed a time), some tight fitting disposable gloves, fine grade sand paper, your choice of wax (I'll say more about this in a minute) old rags and depending on where you will be working, a drop cloth.
I did my chalk painting inside. The pieces I was doing were all upstairs and we have a large landing at the top of the stairs, so that is where I worked. It worked out great for me and there is little to no odor with water base paint.
My second piece was this plant stand. Both of these pieces were going in the same room so I did them to match. I used the clear wax on these.
Now, is that not just "plum" pretty! I was very pleased with the results once it was placed back where it belonged. Note* in the picture the distressing looks a bit greenish and ugly. ~chuckle~ But, it really does look good. ~I promise~ On all 3 of these pieces I lightly sanded the edges in a "hit or miss" fashion for an even more distressed look. That is just your preference but needs to be done before putting on the wax.
While I did really like the looks of all 3 pieces, the rocker just did not please me when I got it placed back in the room it belonged in. The color did not have enough pizazz. So, I redid it to a golden yellow.
Now, don't you agree? And, when I grow tired of this color, I can always come back and do it another color. ~oh, the joys of paint~ I used the Rugger Brown color wax on this too.
......since doing my pieces I have found out that you can easily make your own chalk powder. Go to this site to see how easy it is .
......some tutorials I saw used the term, "just slap the paint on the piece." Well, slapping is exactly what it will look like and I doubt that's what you want unless you are into a very primitive and rugged look. I went with the grain of the wood with my brush strokes and found it to be more of the look that I prefer.
......I used Fiddes wax but have also found out that you can use any brand wax that is used for a protective finish. The colored waxes will all give a more distressed look to your piece, so if you are not looking for that, then you will probably want to stick with the clear wax.

Q: Amazon Ec2 Data Transfer Out vs Data Transfer In I have read similiar questions  , But I am not getting any answers.I am planning to host a site with domain name at EC2.I am using https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html to calculate my price.
So when I put 10TB in Data Transfer Out is billing me $920 and Data Transfer In is free.
Currently I have 500 concurrent online users in my dedicated server.Its taking me 20 Gb bandwidth per day.So I want to know difference between Data Transfer Out  vs Data Transfer In.Which one is real bandwidth like 1million visitors visting my website.It is called out or IN.

A: Data in is data users send to you - uploads and requests. Data out is data you sent to users - web pages, downloaded or streamed files.
I assume you mean 20 gigabytes (GB) per day - you said 20 gigabits (Gb). I've assumed 1GB per day in upload and requests, but data in is currently free. Every request has some inbound data, but for most sites it's relatively low. 20GB per day of data sent out from your server to the internet will cost you around $54/month according to the price calculator. Yes you're right that 10TB of data per month will cost you around $920.


Rock 'n roll, motorcycles, and leather––the "ton-up boys" are back in Belstaff's nostalgic Autumn/Winter 2015 menswear collection. The British luxury brand's latest line takes inspiration from the iconic rock subculture that started in the United Kingdom in the 1950s. Although initially inspired by the Marlon Brando film The Wild One, the ton-up boys made the 50's rocker trend uniquely British by adding elements like military surplus garments and wax cotton riding kits.
The "ton-up boys' of the 50's got their name from their attempts to "do a ton," or exceed 100mph on their custom motorcycles. They were fearless and reckless, and these qualities inspired Belstaff's AW15 collection. The pieces reflect the strong, and distinctly masculine attitude of the time, but remain contemporary with the use of color blocking and bold checkerboard prints.
Belstaff aptly presented its AW15 menswear collection in an underground car park opposite the Houses of Parliament in London. Belstaff's choice of venue further reflected the collection's vintage "biker" feel, as well as celebrated the brand's homecoming to London.
