Afgan Mukhtarli: behind bars, but not forgotten
This fearless journalist was abducted from the streets of Tbilisi and wound up in an Azerbaijani jail cell. We need more like him.

Afgan Mukhtarli and I first met in early 2015, at Prospero's cafe in central Tbilisi. We were both recent arrivals to Georgia: I was here because an upstart Azerbaijani media outlet had failed to attract a more qualified candidate, and Afgan because his investigative reporting — particularly on the corruption of the country's military and its ruling Aliyev family — had forced him to flee neighbouring Azerbaijan to end the government's harassment of him and his family.
However, it didn't stop. Family members who remained in Azerbaijan were still threatened, still followed, and still harassed. Neither did Afgan, who kept reporting, supporting struggling members of Tbilisi's then-thriving Azerbaijani exile community, and kept protesting. Then in May of last year, the Azerbaijani government escalated their war on Afgan by having him abducted from the streets of Tbilisi and whisked away to a prison in Baku. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to six years in prison.
Where silence is golden
The Azerbaijani state's attacks on its discontents are always deeply personal. One journalist saw her brother, a rural day labourer whom she credibly believed had never read a word she'd written, sent to prison for a year on fabricated drug charges. Afgan was no exception. He had volunteered to fight in the Nagorno Karabakh War as a young man, and it clearly bothered him that the same state he had once risked his life for was now doing its utmost to destroy him and his family.
Afgan's legendary stubbornness served him well as an investigative reporter, but it also roused the ire of certain parts of the Georgian state. There was no protest he wouldn't attend — there is a picture, lost somewhere deep in Facebook's ever-changing algorithm, of Afgan protesting the sentence of youth activist Qiyas Ibragimov with a group of Georgian street punks half his age - and both the Georgian police and the quasi-official security contractors hired by SOCAR, the Azerbaijani took notice.
Why, in a country as rich in oil and natural gas as Azerbaijan, are its people still reliant on dangerous gas stoves or burning hazelnuts to keep warm?
In the same cafe where Afgan and I first met, less than a year and a half later, Afgan's wife Leyla Mustafayeva would be interviewed about how the Georgian state abducted Mukhtarli and arranged for him to be "caught" by Azerbaijani border guards while smuggling over $10,000 across the border, in the middle of the night and without his passport. Six months and multiple indignities passed before Afgan was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of smuggling and illegal border crossing. His lawyers are appealing, but much damage has already been done.
He has been denied proper medical care for his type two diabetes while in custody, and the Azerbaijani court declined to permit him to travel to the funeral for his sister, niece, and nephew in the town of Zaqatala, who died in their sleep after wind extinguished the flame of the gas heater the family used in lieu of central heating.
Due to the government's decision to try him in a court in Balakan, six hours by car northwest of Baku, for no apparent reason other than to inconvenience his lawyers and discourage journalists from attending the trial, the funeral was less than an hour's drive away.
The sad and tragic death of his relatives was one of the grim outcomes of entrenched elite corruption that Mukhtarli sought to expose as a journalist. Why, in a country as rich in oil and natural gas as Azerbaijan, are its people still reliant on dangerous gas stoves or burning hazelnuts to keep warm?
A state of impunity
In most countries, the sentencing of a journalist — or anyone, regardless of occupation — on such absurd charges would be a major story in and of itself. In Azerbaijan it barely counts as news.
In 2017 alone, a photojournalist and blogger was sentenced to two years for slander for accurately describing his torture by Baku police, and another received seven years for extortion for reporting on police-protected brothels. Another managed to lose all his teeth during a month-long stint for failing to obey police instructions, and three months into pretrial detention over a Facebook post, yet another inexplicably hung himself in his cell.
If we were to start counting beyond the legal system, we would note the case of Ilqar Valiyev, who was abducted and tortured by Azerbaijani servicemen near the line of contact with the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh. They had assumed he was an Armenian spy. Valiyev is now in a third country, but he escaped Azerbaijan via Georgia, where Mukhtarli helped him get medical care.

Although his case has caught by far the most international attention, Mukhtarli's kidnapping is part of a trend of closer ties between two South Caucasus countries that are often held up as the poster children for everything that can go right and wrong in "European integration". Georgia celebrated its long-awaited goal of visa-free travel to the EU last March, while Azerbaijan's year was marred by the Azerbaijani Laundromat revelations and the delay of the signing of a new partnership agreement with the EU. From Brussels or Berlin, one could be forgiven for believing the two post-Soviet states were moving in opposite directions.
It isn't the case. A recent blog post by Alexander Lapshin, an Israeli-Russian travel writer who ran afoul of the Azerbaijani authorities about evidence submitted during his prosecution, revealed that Georgia responded to a request for information on his entry and exit from the country with a wealth of supplementary information. This ranged from property Lapshin owned in Batumi to data on those who happened to cross the Armenian border shortly before or after him in late 2016. As most other countries ignored Azerbaijan's requests — even a friendly state would probably question why the request was not sent via Interpol — it raised questions about what prompted Georgia's enthusiasm.
On a macroeconomic level, Azerbaijan is the biggest source of foreign direct investment in Georgia, investing more than twice as much as any European state, and as of this year, its sole supplier of natural gas.
In a deal that raised eyebrows internationally and sparked protests among the domestic opposition, last January the Georgian government and Russia's Gazprom renegotiated how Gazprom pays Georgia for use of its pipeline for transferring natural gas to Armenia. In the past, Gazprom compensated Georgia with an in-kind payment of 10% of the gas that entered its territory, but the new arrangement stated Georgia would receive cash instead. Neither side has revealed the final terms. As the price is likely tied to the heavily subsidised prices Gazprom charges Armenia, it's hardly likely the deal was favourable to Georgia.
In April, then-Georgian Energy Minister Kakha Kaladze announced another deal with Azerbaijan's SOCAR to increase Azerbaijani gas sales to Georgia to replace the lost Russian gas. As with the Gazprom deal, the financial terms were not disclosed, and the result was Azerbaijan now provides 99% of Georgia's natural gas. Less than two months later, Afgan Mukhtarli would disappear from the streets of Tbilisi.
Where guests are sacred
News of Afgan's arrest spread quickly across social media, leading to on-air protests by journalists and demands for accountability from ordinary Georgians, many of whom saw their government's complicity in Mukhtarli's disappearance as a betrayal of deeply-held beliefs about hospitality and protection of guests. "What if they kill him? What are we going to tell his wife? This is medieval! What kind of Georgian would give his guest, no matter who he is, to an enemy?" said Tbilisi shopkeeper Meda Aslamazishvili to Eurasianet's Giorgi Lomsadze.
Despite the furore, Georgia's official investigation never got off the ground. Local investigative journalists and members of the OCCRP network quickly discovered that both the security cameras in central Tbilisi and along the Azerbaijani border that would have recorded either Mukhtarli's abduction or attempt to cross illegally had been either deactivated or their footage deleted.

It has been months since the Georgian government has offered any updates, and fearing for her own safety, Mukhtarli's wife Leyla Mustafeyeva took her daughter and fled to Germany. In doing so, she became the latest Azerbaijani dissident or journalist to be forced out of Georgia in the last eighteen months.
Beginning in late 2016, shortly before elections that granted the ruling Georgian Dream party a constitutional supermajority, several exiled Azerbaijanis who had filed routine paperwork renewing their residence permits received letters from the Georgian government informing them they would not be renewed on national security grounds. None of them could realistically expect to return to Azerbaijan without facing immediate arrest, and most had no choice by to try their luck at asylum in the European Union.
Some were lucky enough to have behind-the-scenes help from a friendly embassy, and others, such as composer and intellectual Elmir Mirzoyev, resigned themselves to the realities of a refugee camp and the risk of refusal and deportation. Georgia, which had long tolerated a sizable Azerbaijani expatriate community of dissidents, intellectuals, and journalists, was unsubtly pushing them to leave.
Some who noticed the refusal letters did not seem to be based on Georgian law opted to try to fight the government for permission to stay. One such couple was Afgan Mukhtarli and Lelya Mustafayeva.
A time to shout
Mukhtarli's sentencing is not the end of the story. His lawyers are appealing, and the case is ripe for the European Court of Human Rights. The Georgian officials who signed off on Mukhtarli's kidnapping will know that when his term is over — either in six years, or possibly earlier, given Ilham Aliyev's practice of showing clemency with mass pardons during Nowruz, the Azerbaijani New Year — the notoriously feisty journalist will have a story to tell.
Azerbaijan has long escaped significant international pressure for its human rights abuses, both in part due to its relatively low international profile and a moderately successful campaign to buy some of the west's less scrupulous academics and public figures.

But rights advocates are not without leverage — Azerbaijan has still not managed to secure all necessary financing for the Southern Gas Corridor, and the European Investment Bank recently delayed a final decision on a €1.5 billion loan for "due diligence" issues after months of campaigning by environmental groups.
Azerbaijan's longstanding refusal to comply with a judgement by the European Court of Human Rights and release opposition leader Ilgar Mammadov has finally escalated to the point where it is risking expulsion or suspension from the Council of Europe. Baku could opt to quit the Council and leave Mammadov in prison, but in doing so would sacrifice much of the international support it would need to see the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh Republic reintegrated into Azerbaijan.
One day Afgan will be free and resume his quest, to paraphrase his words on the day of his sentencing, to have the last word until the end of his life. It is a dark time for journalism and human rights across the world, but rather than despair, it is the responsibility of those who are free to keep working, writing, arguing, and being the inconvenient citizens that refuse to leave the corrupt and powerful be.

We put the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 through its paces in our Four Ride bike review.
The Cannondale Synapse 5's spec is what we'd expect for £150 below the £2k ceiling, comprising a full 105 groupset barring the BB30 FSA Gossamer chainset. From the first ride, the Synapse's all-round capability is immediately obvious. Shifting is smooth and punchy with the Gossamer's 50/34 rings matching Shimano's for accuracy. Out back, a wide 12-30 cassette offers a decent range for hilly triathlon competitions.
The Synapse's cloud-like comfort makes fast progress easy to achieve on long rides. The Shimano RS11 wheels are matched to comfort-friendly 25c Schwalbe Lugano S tyres. The Synapse's ability to combine pulsating pace and fantastic handling with standout smoothness is astounding. Rarely have we seen a bike that blends such rapid performance with class-leading comfort over any ride distance.
The way in which the Cannondale goes about its business of being flat-out-fast sets it apart from the highly competitive crowd. The bike's shape is far more aggressive than the old Synapse, but not as low and flat as their similarly impressive Evo racer. It occupies a middle ground and it's all the better for it. The Synapse is a joy to ride but you'll want to start upgrading to make an already great bike into a dream machine.
On climbs, the Synapse's perfectly balanced ride makes for swift progress. It may not be the lightest bike in the world, but it climbs incredibly with a light feeling on every ascent. It's when you hit the descents that you realise just how good this bike is, though. The smooth yet stiff back end feels absolutely planted and the bike tracks with resolute unwillingness to drift even a fraction off the fastest line.


Everybody loves good ol' regulation beer pong. But who doesn't love to switch things up every once in awhile?
This first amazing mini beer pong set for sale gives you the best of both worlds as you'll still be playing beer pong, without having to haul around big equipment. Take it on road trips, camping, or even to play at bars. Table top beer pong is easier to conceal and much more travel-friendly than regulation beer pong or jumbo beer pong games, that's for sure!
Attached ball = easier to clean and also no more chasing balls!
120 Mini Beer Pong Cups will keep you in business for a looong time!
Although the tethered wire's great, it can get in the way of the ball when you throw.
While you'll see red beer pong cups in the picture, they do not come with this small beer pong set. Instead, just 25 clear cups come included with the price.
Lastly, beer splashes out of the cups moreso than in standard beer pong games.
*Where to buy beer pong table, cups, and balls from Scienz: The cheapest price, of course, is through Amazon's marketplace. However, Scienz also offers amazing custom engraving. This is only available through minibeerpong.com.
Scienz's Mini Flip Cup Beer Pong Game, otherwise known as "Flong," is a slight twist on their mini beer pong game. However, it's still considered a travel beer pong set, is tons of fun, and will get you nice and tipsy.
Handcrafted on American soil in Minneapolis, MN.
Again, it's hard to beat Scienz's expert craftsmanship from domestically sourced wood.
If you need a weeding, birthday, or shower gift for beer game lovers, look no further. Because you can have their names engraved and give them something they'll always cherish.
As always, Amazon has unbeatable deals. But if you're looking for custom engraved names or sayings, go straight to minibeerpong.com. Get that perfect beer pong gift set you've been hunting for!

Drink-A-Palooza, the game with something for everyone.
If you like Cards Against Humanity, you'll love this twist on the regular travel beer pong sets.
Whereas the previously mentioned travel beer pong sets or flip cup drinking game set allow 2-8 players, DAP accommodates up to 12 players at a time.
Uniquely, there's a little bit of every popular drinking game in DAP.
So, someone who hates flip cup won't get stuck playing something they don't like; at least there are several other games in the mix!
If you're in need of some new pre-gaming ideas, this is the board game for you.
If you have any doubts, check out DAP's Amazon reviews; they're almost 100% positive!
Indeed, this crazy adult drinking game mixes together 5+ aspects of popular drinking games. It comes as no surprise, then, that the rules are slightly more complicated plain mini beer pong or flip cup. That being said, it's only a *slight* increase in complexity.
Lastly, this isn't a quick game – so make sure to plan enough time if you're using it to pregame.
Whether you decide to go with one of the two travel beer pong sets, the mini flip cup beer pong game ("flong"), or you go out on an entirely new limb with Drink-A-Palooza, you're sure to love these small versions of beer pong. Above all, have fun!
Lastly, don't forget to check out our daily round up!
Here's our Daily Round Up – Enjoy!

Hasdrubal le Boétharque est un général carthaginois qui soutint le siège de sa ville contre Scipion Émilien lors de la troisième guerre punique (149-).

Le boétharque était un grade militaire (commandant de troupes auxiliaires) auquel il accède en  En , il prend le commandement de la défense de la ville.

Les sources signalent que, durant le siège de 146, il se retranche dans le temple d'Eshmoun situé sur la colline de Byrsa après la prise du quartier des ports et de la ville basse par l'armée romaine. Il s'y défend longtemps mais déserte les rangs puniques, alors que le sort de la bataille ne fait alors plus de doute et se rend à Scipion.

Sa femme, indignée par sa trahison, aurait égorgé ses enfants sous ses yeux puis se serait précipitée dans les flammes. Elle aurait alors lancé, avant ce geste ultime : Je ne te souhaite, ô Romain, que toutes prospérités car tu ne fais qu'user des droits de la guerre. Mais je prie les Dieux de Carthage et toi-même de punir, comme il se doit, Hasdrubal, qui a trahi sa patrie, ses dieux, sa femme et ses enfants.

La marque de désespoir ou de lâcheté tranche avec l'attitude qui fut la sienne pendant cette guerre et l'anecdote a été considérée comme un élément supplémentaire de la propagande romaine visant à justifier après coup — sinon moraliser en quelque sorte — le conflit. Rappelant la punica fides, la mauvaise foi punique maintes fois décriée par Rome, Hasdrubal est montré maudit par sa propre épouse, malédiction précédant de peu celle de sa cité.

Ce dernier événement n'a pas manqué d'être mis en parallèle avec le sacrifice de Didon dès l'Antiquité.

Quant à Hasdrubal, on lui prête une fin de vie libre en Italie.

ActiveMan » We Imagine What the Apple Watch Series 5 Can Do
We Imagine What the Apple Watch Series 5 Can Do
Apple said its watch will change the wellness game the same way the iPhone did the wireless phone game
byAlwyn Batara
In September of last year, a lot of people were excited and eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming Apple Watch. Touted as the best Apple Watch to date, it came with a plethora of features geared towards health and wellness.
Boasting a larger screen, as well as more accurate health trackers, it really changed the way people looked at their smartwatches. It's even capable of taking an ECG to measure your heart health and features a glucose monitoring kit for people with diabetes.
However, let's try and think about the future of the Apple Watch. How can Apple take its smartwatch to the next level? Will it be able to top the fourth iteration of its smartwatch? Let's find out.
What can an upcoming Apple Watch 5 do?
It can change the way people think about their health
More and more people are concerned about their health, and rightfully so. We're hoping to see more apps and features geared towards improving health and wellness. A good example would be the ability to give you specialized recommendations in terms of exercises and diet.
Since the Apple Watch can already track the state of your fitness, providing good health advice shouldn't be too far-fetched if you think about it.
Another feature we'd like to see is enhanced sleep tracking. The current Apple Watch does it pretty well, but there are a lot of things that Apple can do in order to improve the app's accuracy. Getting enough sleep is crucial to your health, and Apple will do well to enhance its sleep monitoring software.
It can fit seamlessly with your lifestyle
The Apple Watch can sometimes feel a bit intrusive, especially since it's thicker than other smartwatches out there. Having the feel of a regular watch can really make the device fit seamlessly with your lifestyle.
That's why another upgrade that we'd like to see from Apple is a much thinner design. Granted, the Apple Watch 4 isn't as bulky as its predecessor, but it's still pretty hefty for something that you'd put on your wrist.
Enhanced battery life will also be a welcome change. After all, if you're an active person who's always outdoors, it can be annoying to keep charging your watch or to have to carry a specialized power bank just for that purpose.
Better integration with other devices will also be a welcome change. Imagine using your Apple Watch to turn on the smart lights in your home or open your garage door.
It's going to have better app support
Better app support would be a much-needed change for an upcoming Apple Watch. With the developers of Instagram and Slack dropping support for the Apple Watch, it'd be a good idea for Apple to look into getting back developer support for these popular apps.
YouTube playback would also be a good idea, as well as the option to have an always-on screen, which other smartwatches have.
It's going to be quite a while before the next Apple Watch comes out. And once it does, we're not expecting drastic changes. That's because Apple has a habit of sticking to what works and not being too adventurous with their devices.
Hopefully, we get to see some of these features implemented on an upcoming Apple Watch. But we're sure that it's going to be another success for Apple.

Nemo Outdoor Armchair
Fabio novembre uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure.
This human figure is capable of becoming abstract and universal, able to propose a mythic beauty as occurred in greek art. So that nemo, a face with classic features, is hollowed out to create an inhabitable space. The result is a head-armchair to be lived from the inside. Like a mask, it simultaneously conceals and reveals its inhabitant.
Fabio Novembre
Fabio Novembre was born il lecce in 1966 and graduated in architecture from milan polytechnic in 1992. he also studied cinema at new york university in 1993. fabio opened his studio in 1994 and, as per today he has worked with the most important italian design companies. his work has been recognized and published all over the world for its visionary approach.

Q: Logstash second translate filter ignored I have a problem with Logstash translate filter and can't find any solution for that.
I want to create a field for vendor names and i take first 6 characters from source and destination mac and compare these values to my dictionary.
Filter snippet:
if [source][mac] or [destination][mac] {
    grok {
      tag_on_failure => [ "vendorsmac_grok" ]
      pattern_definitions => {
        SRC_VENDOR => "^(?<[vendor][source][mac]>.{6}).+"
        DST_VENDOR => "^(?<[vendor][destination][mac]>.{6}).+"
      }
      match => {
        "[source][mac]" => "%{SRC_VENDOR}"
        "[destination][mac]" => "%{DST_VENDOR}"
      }
    }

    translate {
      dictionary_path => "/etc/logstash/dictionary/mac_vendor.yml"
      field => "[vendor][source][mac]"
      destination => "[vendor][source][name]"
      fallback => "unknown device SRC VENDOR"
      add_tag => "Vendor_SRC_MAC"
    }

    translate {
      dictionary_path => "/etc/logstash/dictionary/mac_vendor.yml"
      field => "[vendor][destination][mac]"
      destination => "[vendor][destination][name]"
      fallback => "unknown device DST VENDOR"
      add_tag => "Vendor_DST_MAC"
    }
  }

When I have these two matches in my grok, translate takes only the second one and this is the result:
"vendor" => {
        "destination" => {
            "name" => "unknown device DST VENDOR",
             "mac" => "9077EE"
        }

But there's no information about Source MAC in my event, it is completely ignored.
When I comment Destination MAC:
grok {
      tag_on_failure => [ "vendorsmac_grok" ]
      pattern_definitions => {
        SRC_VENDOR => "^(?<[vendor][source][mac]>.{6}).+"
        #DST_VENDOR => "^(?<[vendor][destination][mac]>.{6}).+"
      }
      match => {
        "[source][mac]" => "%{SRC_VENDOR}"
        #"[destination][mac]" => "%{DST_VENDOR}"
      }
    }

I have my [vendor][source][name] field resolved properly:
"vendor" => {
        "source" => {
            "name" => "Wistron",
             "mac" => "54EE75"
        }

Can someone point me what's wrong here?
Am I facing some kind of bug?
Tested on Logstash 7.10.2-1 and 7.17.2-1.

A: Quick look on the documentation... Option break_on_match in grok is set to true by default. I changed it to false and it worked.
I've lost a lot of time for that :D

Take note, ex-wives of famous men! It pays to get along with your ex! Torrei Hart, star of Atlanta Exes, was a lucky lady this birthday when her ex-husband, Kevin Hart, gifted her with a brand new Cadillac Escalade!
Torrei shared a photo of her new wheels on Instagram, gushing about her generous ex. Kevin has been enjoying huge success in the movies recently and he clearly likes to share the wealth with those he's close to!
Is Atlanta Exes Canceled, Too? Tameka Raymond Answers
Last week it was confirmed that Hollywood Exes will not be returning for another season on VH1, which had many fans asking if Atlanta Exes would suffer the same fate. Cast member Tameka Raymond shared her thoughts on the subject and it sounds a little like fans shouldn't hold their breath!
Tameka dished about her experience with the reality show and whether or not it's returning for a second season.
Real Housewives Of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss Ends Beef With Atlanta Exes Star Tameka Raymond
by Lauren on January 28th, 2015
If all reality star feuds ended in the manner in which Kandi Burruss and Tameka Raymond's beef did, we here at Reality Tea would be out of a job! Thank goodness for the wackadoos that can't keep their mouths from spewing gross rumors and the ladies who sue said wackadoos! I'm looking at you, Brandi Glanville and Joanna Krupa! Thanks for keeping food on my table!
I digress, this post is about forgiveness, which doesn't seem to be part of the vocabulary of most Bravolebrities and VH1 showboats. However, Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi is turning the tables and making amends with one time frenemy and Atlanta Exes star Tameka. What's next? Will Usher follow suit?

Atlanta Exes' Sheree Buchanan On Kris Jenner's New Boyfriend: "He's All About Power And Money"
by Lauren on November 21st, 2014
Hold the phone! Did y'all know there are people out there who think the blossoming new love between pimp momager Kris Jenner and her younger beau Corey Gamble is anything less than true and pure? In fact, some naysayers think that this relationship only seeks notoriety and media attention. Seriously people, are we really that jaded?
I, for one, think there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a krazy kougar with a man who clearly wants women in the spotlight. It's a match made in heaven…or at least Ryan Seacrest's version of heaven. Of course, in the wise words of T-Swizzle (love her, don't judge), the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Corey's ex Sheree Buchanan, ironically (or not so much?) of Atlanta Exes, is speaking out about the pair's tumultuous relationship.

Monyetta Shaw Dishes On Ne-Yo Plus, Kris Jenner Dating Sheree Buchanan's Ex
by Mary McClelland on November 13th, 2014
Monyetta Shaw is on a show called Atlanta Exes but reveals: never say never, where her ex Ne-Yo is concerned! How would that work for her reality career? Can we say: Spinoff! And Kris Jenner may have found a new man, but is he with her for the right reasons?
Monyetta said that shortly after they gave birth to their second child, Ne-Yo admitted he wasn't ready for the commitment of marriage, but time has changed his perspective. "He just wasn't ready for monogamy," she explained. "I'm a human being and I'm a woman. It hurts, but you can't make a person feel a certain way and I'm okay with that and what I realize is it wasn't my stuff. It was his stuff. It was his issues."
Did Usher Make A Sex Tape With Tameka Raymond? The Atlanta Exes Star Denies Making One!
Reality stars have unfortunately become synonymous with sex tapes so I shouldn't say I'm surprised to learn that there's allegedly an Usher and Tameka Raymond sex tape circulating around just waiting for Vivid the highest bidder to snap it up.
Reports are saying that when Usher was married to the Atlanta Exes star, they made a sex tape, and it's gotten into the hands of someone trying to make a quick buck! They believe the tape was stolen way back in 20o9 when someone broke into Usher's car and made off with his designer luggage – the contents of which included jewelry, several cameras and two laptops, on one of which we can presume was the sex tape.
Christina Johnson Says Ex-Husband CeeLo Supports Her Finding Love Again; Is Proud Of Portrayal On Atlanta Exes!
by Mary McClelland on October 6th, 2014
Christina Johnson is one of the rare Atlanta Exes that has a great relationship with her ex-husband CeeLo Green – one might even say the 'exes' get along too well. So well that it's sometimes as if they never broke up! In fact CeeLo even advises Christina on dating.
Christina is now dating Willie Wallace, whom she met through Sheree Buchanan, and says that Willie not only respects the relationship she has with her ex, but everyone gets along great and she is completely over being Mrs. 'Lo! She also discusses the Tameka Raymond issue and if she feels Atlanta Exes accurately portrayed her and her life. Christina also reveals she is launching a makeup line called Butterfly EFX with Hollywood Exes star Drea Kelly!
Let's start with the good stuff – her love life! "Yea I'm really happy," Christina shares. "I'm so grateful to Sheree for setting us up."
Reality TV Viewer Numbers: Teen Mom 2, Real Housewives Of New Jersey, Atlanta Exes, Million Dollar Listing LA, And More
by Melissa on October 3rd, 2014
This week's reality TV viewer numbers are in – the season finale of Teen Mom 2 garnered 1.891 million viewers, bringing the Season 5B average to 1.83 million. Ratings wise, the show consistently won its night, so I fully expect there to be a season six. The season finale of Atlanta Exes attracted 1.477 million viewers. The show lost nearly 800,000 viewers since its premiere but finished season one with an impressive 1.73 million average.
Also this week, 1.906 million viewers tuned to see Jim wreck havoc in Florida on Real Housewives of New Jersey, part one of the Dance Moms season finale attracted 1.418 million viewers, 1.164 million viewers watched the Brits compete with Josh Altman on Million Dollar Listing LA, and Omarion's mama drama on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood garnered 2.288 million viewers. And Below Deck remained steady with 1.127 million viewers.

A Composer's Guide to Game Music, now in Japanese!
A Composer's Guide to Game Music by Winifred Phillips, now on sale in Japanese! Published by O'Reilly Japan.
I'm excited to share that my book, A Composer's Guide to Game Music, was released today in Japan in its newly-published Japanese-language edition! O'Reilly Japan has published the Japanese softcover of my book in Japan under the title, "Game Sound Production Guide: Composer Techniques for Interactive Music."
Side-by-side, these are the covers of the two editions of the book. In Japanese, A Composer's Guide to Game Music is titled "Game sound production guide – composer techniques for interactive music," by Winifred Phillips.
I'm very excited that the Japanese language edition of my book has already hit #1 on the "Most Wished For" list on Amazon Japan!
The "Most Wished For" list on Amazon.co.jp.
Coincidentally, the English-language version of A Composer's Guide to Game Music is now #1 on the Kindle Top Rated list, too!
The Kindle "Top Rated" list on Amazon.com.
O'Reilly Japan is located in Tokyo, and is dedicated to translating books about technological innovation for Japanese readers. They are a division of O'Reilly Media, a California publishing company that acts as "a chronicler and catalyst of leading-edge development, homing in on the technology trends that really matter and galvanizing their adoption by amplifying "faint signals" from the alpha geeks who are creating the future. O'Reilly publishes definitive books on computer technologies for developers, administrators, and users. Bestselling series include the legendary "animal books," Missing Manuals, Hacks, and Head First."
From what I've gathered, my book – A Composer's Guide to Game Music – is the first English language book about game music to be translated into Japanese and sold in Japan. There are a few other books available in Japan on the subject – but they were all originally written in Japanese. These include a book exploring game sound by the audio hardware designer and sound developer Shiomi Toshiyuki, a text on creating sound for games with the CRI ADX2 middleware by Uchida Tomoya, and a book on producing game music and sound design by the artist "polymoog" of the dance music duo ELEKETL (pictured below, from left to right).
I'm tremendously excited about the Japanese edition of my book, and my excitement comes in large part from the venerable tradition of outstanding music in Japanese games. From the most celebrated classic scores of such top game composers as Koji Kondo (Super Mario Bros.) and Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), to the excellent modern scores of such popular composers as Masato Kouda (Monster Hunter) and Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts), Japanese video game composers have set the creative bar very high. I'm incredibly honored that my book will be read by both established and aspiring game composers in Japan! I hope they'll find some helpful information in my book, and I'm excited to contribute to the ongoing conversation about game music in the Japanese development community.
I've always loved Japanese game music. In 2008, I participated in a compilation album in which successful game composers created cover versions of celebrated video game songs from classic games. The album was called "Best of the Best: A Tribute to Game Music." I chose the music by Koji Kondo from Super Mario Bros., and recorded an a cappella vocal version. It's currently available for sale from the Sumthing Else Music Works record label, and can also be downloaded on iTunes. You can hear the track on YouTube here:
If you'd like to learn more about the rich legacy of game music composition in Japan, you can watch an awesome free documentary series produced by the Red Bull Music Academy, entitled "Diggin' in the Carts: A Documentary Series About Japanese Video Game Music." The series interviews famous game composers of Japan, which means that the interviews and narration are both in Japanese (with English subtitles). Here's an episode that focuses on modern accomplishments by Japanese game composers:

素晴らしい!このがすきです。がんばろう!Thank you for the amazing "red bull academy link". Big fan of the Japanese game music scene. There are awesome song writing skills in tracks for games like pop'n'music or jubeat and of course all the famous games we can enjoy for the last 30years or so. Looking forward to visit the Tokyo Game Show.
Winifred Phillips says:
Thanks, Michel! Glad you enjoyed the Red Bull Academy video! I agree about the fantastic accomplishments in Japanese game music. I've never been to the Tokyo Game Show, and I've heard it's awesome! I hope you have a great time!

"When I look at 2019, for the short-term outlook, there are two main economies I am concerned about the first is the United States and the other one is China," Pigat believes.
He also discussed how the trade war between the two economic superpowers will impact Dubai and his opinion of the recent fiscal stimulus package rolled out by the Abu Dhabi government.

n Visual Studio 2008 running on the .NET framework 3.5, developers can not only create DataReaders and DataSets; Microsoft has also added LINQ to SQL, Entity Framework, and ADO.NET Data Services, which leverages the first two. These new options of course, mean that you have new syntaxes to learn. LINQ, which is built into Visual Basic and C#, has one implementation for LINQ to SQL and another for LINQ to Entities. In Entity Framework, you have the option to use LINQ to Entities or make queries in two other ways with Entity SQL (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Data Access Options in .NET 3.5: Of the six data access options available, four are new.
In all, developers have gone from one "out-of-the-box" data access option plus a native query language of choice (e.g. T-SQL) to six different data access options with new query syntaxes. That sounds pretty scary. On the other hand, having a range of choices offers developers the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job rather than have to constantly "make do" with the existing tools.
Author's Note: ADO.NET Data Services (aka Astoria) is a great way to expose Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL models over the web. Because it provides a wrapper around these technologies, it doesn't fit into the particular goals of this article. One important point to be aware of, however, is that it solves a number of the problems that LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework developers are running into when using these models in Web and WCF services, most of which are around persisting change tracking across tiers. A great place to start with ADO.NET Data Services is the team's blog.
Because of the number of data access options available, this article will focus on those that are native to .NET and Visual Studio; however, you should know that there are many third-party tools such as object relational mappers (ORM) and frameworks that you can use as well.
This article is not aimed at teaching you how to use the various data access technologies. While it does discuss some specifics of the different APIs, you should be able to benefit from the examples without too much prior knowledge of or experience with LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework. The goal here is to focus on some of the most prominent differences between the options so you'll have enough information to know which option makes sense for your scenario. You can then drill into the appropriate technology to learn more.
The examples in this article are based on unmodified versions of the AdventureWorksLT and Northwind databases, because they're already familiar to many readers.
The availability of database providers for a given data access option may impact your choice. Myriad well-established data providers exist for ADO.NET and Microsoft, such as SqlClient, OracleClient, OleDBClient. Numerous third-party providers are also available if you're not using SQL Server or Oracle, but you'll need to check to make sure one exists for your particular database.
In comparing LINQ to SQL to the other options, it is important to keep in mind that it works only with SQL Server databases.
Entity Framework can work with any database for which a provider exists. Microsoft has written the provider for SQL Server and included it with Entity Framework. So far, LINQ to SQL works only with SQL Server databases (2000+, Express, Compact 3.5). Matt Warren, one of the originators of LINQ to SQL, has a blog series on building IQueryable providers.
As of late spring 2008, vendors have released beta versions of a number of providers that work with Entity Framework Beta 3, including Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and a few IBM databases. David Sceppa at Microsoft is working with the provider writers. His blog maintains a list of who is currently working on the providers and when they should be available.
Entity Framework will not support OleDB providers. Entity Framework needs to transform query expressions into a form recognizable by a particular database. Because OleDB does not target a specific database, this isn't possible.
ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, and Entity Framework all have different relationships to the data store.
Using ADO.NET, you query the database directly, so you're required to have a very good understanding of the database schema. You must know the names of the stored procedures, views, and tables as well as the names and types of the parameters. Depending on how you handle the data upon return, you may also need to be well-versed in the schema of the return data. Strongly typed DataSets and TableAdapters make this significantly simpler because you can discover the schema through IntelliSense—and they'll take care of some of the connection functions for you.
Figure 2. Simple Model: Here's a simple LINQ to SQL data model built from three tables in the AdventureWorksLT database.
You write LINQ to SQL queries against classes generated from the database. You can use a designer to do this work or code your classes manually. Figure 2 shows a simple model built from three tables in the database. The existing one-to-many relationships were automatically identified by the designer.
The properties are tightly bound as well.
Writing LINQ to SQL queries is simpler not only because of the strongly typed classes, but because the relationships between the classes are strongly typed as well.
While you can customize the model somewhat, it's still a one-to-one representation of the database. Therefore, in effect, LINQ to SQL classes represent the database, so writing queries feels as though you are constructing strongly typed queries against the database itself. IntelliSense not only helps you with the operators (SELECT, WHERE, FROM, etc.) but with the tables and related data as well.
You'll see more detail about customization later.
You write Entity Framework queries against a conceptual model called an "Entity Data Model" (EDM), as pictured in Figure 3. The EDM is very different from the database model used by LINQ to SQL, because it is loosely coupled to the database while the LINQ to SQL classes are tightly bound to the tables and columns in the target database.
Figure 3. Entity Data Model: The EDM consists of a Conceptual layer, a Storage layer, and a Mapping layer in between. This enables the conceptual schema which you program against to be loosely coupled to the database.
Figure 4. Model View: The figure shows an EDM in the Entity Framework Designer.
Figure 4 shows the conceptual layer of an Entity Data Model in the Entity Framework designer that was created from the same three tables as the LINQ to SQL model.
While the LINQ to SQL model is based on a set of classes, the EDM is based on XML schema files used to automatically generate code classes.
Figure 5. Abstraction Layers: ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, and the Entity Framework all have different layers of separation from the database.
The Entity Data Model also contains an XML representation of the database and mappings that describe how entities and their properties map back to objects in the database. As with LINQ to SQL, lower level APIs transform Entity Framework queries into native queries in the database and then return DataReaders, which can be used directly or materialized into objects.
While it is possible to create an EDM that matches the database, EDM truly shines in scenarios where you can benefit by querying against a conceptual model that has been highly customized to match your business needs.
Additionally, because of the loose coupling, it is possible to use a single (well-defined) conceptual layer with different databases merely by creating a new store/mapping layer pair to act as a bridge. It's not a walk in the park to do this, but can definitely be worth the effort if it solves your business needs.
Figure 5 summarizes the layers of abstraction between the database and these three data access tools.

River transport provides a safer method of hauling hazardous materials.
The general cargo handling area includes a cargo dock with 42,000 sq. ft. of open dock space and a 125-ton electric-pedestal crane capable of handling commodities from barge, truck, or rail. The crane capacity and design configuration provides excellent heavy-lift capacity, with the terminal noted for this service. Commodities currently handled by the crane include wire rod coils, fertilizer, aluminum fluoride, zinc, steel pipe and coal.
The terminal has four operating docks, two with conveyor belts, one with crane and another which can be configured to handle direct from truck to barge discharge or mobile crane.
The port developed a fertilizer distribution facility which includes three 135-foot-diameter storage domes, conveyors, rail dump pit, operating areas, and access roads for connection to the general cargo dock. The total storage capacity for this facility is 33,000 tons. In the vicinity of the general cargo dock, the port owns aluminum another bulk storage facility capable of handling 1,500 tons.
In addition, the port owns a 1000 HP tow boat, the "Can-Do," which is available at the terminal area for prompt handling of barges. The port also owns an array of forks, buckets, and specialty handling accessories. Equipment at the port appears to be ample for handling of bulk and general cargo commodities currently moving through the facilities.

Blog overview It's Raining Jobs in Miami! It's Raining Jobs in Miami!
It's Raining Jobs in Miami!
Anybody who's ever lived in Miami knows this place is a people's magnet. Sometimes it's the beaches, sometimes it's events like Art Basel, and sometimes it's our ultra-luxury condos like a Porsche or Fendi that has people coming to Magic City. But this time, it's a host of jobs that has people moving to Miami.
According to an article in thenextmiami, we've broken employment records once again with a labor force of 1,360,727 and total employed standing at 1,291,079 this January. There's an additional 77,931 people in the Miami metro area labor force alone. We're dishing out jobs faster than Texas, and are just behind California.
And, there's plenty more on the way. If Moishe Mana gets to build his vision of an "Americas-Asia Trade and International Financial Center" at Wynwood, we're looking at 20,000 more jobs. To top that, the American Dream mega mall hopes to attract 40 million visitors annually. There's also the proposed Resorts World Genting multi-use development atop the Omni Bus Terminal, Paramount World Center and many more in the pipeline that won't just add to our revenue base, but also bring along more employment.

I gave up caffeine last year in an effort to help with our infertility battle, and have mostly kept that up during this pregnancy. I can count on one hand the number of coffees I've had over the last six months. When I recently came down with #alltheviruses, however, all I wanted was tea. Morning, noon, and night.
Luckily, Celestial Seasonings makes a ton of different caffeine-free, zero calorie, super flavorful varieties! I picked mine up at our local Walmart - bonus, they are much less expensive than many of the other brands. The tea bags are stringless and aren't individually wrapped, so I also feel like I'm cutting down on waste (especially after I recycle the box!).
I'm still on such the tea drinking kick! With our current chilly weather, a nice hot cup of Celestial Seasonings is perfect with my breakfast, doing work on the computer, hanging out in my slippers at home, or in a travel mug in carline pickup! And at zero calories with no caffeine, a cup of it always fits into my health-minded lifestyle.
Click HERE so see ALL the varieties of Celestial Seasonings!

Ford Explorer 2021, utility and comfort
If you're looking for a new mid-size SUV for 2021, the Ford Explorer might just be your choice. This attractively sized vehicle offers three rows of seats and plenty of room for cargo. Utilitarian and versatile, it is equipped with the safety and comfort accessories among consumers most sought-after. The base and XLT models are equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive as standard, but all-wheel drive is optional. A hybrid powertrain is available as an option on the Limited model, and the Platinum and premium sport ST models are equipped with a twin-turbo V-6 engine. A 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive add to the Ford Explorer's qualities. There's something for everyone.
The improved XLT
Completely renewed in 2020, the Ford Explorer is not undergoing significant changes for 2021. It's the XLT version that improves the most, thanks to heated seats as standard, and by offering a heated steering wheel as an option on this model. A sporty-looking package is also available on this model. The other versions are not to be outdone, as an eight-way power front passenger seat is now available on Limited, ST and Platinum models.
Choice of power
Several versions also mean several engines. The Ford Explorer, therefore, offers a range of engines capable of meeting all requirements. For example, the base versions continue to feature the 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Economical, this engine also stands out for its flexibility during acceleration. Two 6-cylinder V-engines are also on the Ford Explorer lineup. The first version develops 365 horsepower and is found under the hood of the Platinum. The ST version uses a variation of the same engine, this time a twin-turbo, for 400 horsepower. The Explorer Hybrid version pairs a 3.3-litre V6 with an electric motor for greater fuel economy without compromising power.
Safe with the CoPilot 360
The Ford Explorer is a family vehicle. Getting on board is easy, and even getting to the third row is no longer an adventure, thanks to the system that allows you to move the second row at the touch of a button. But when you think family, you think safety, and that's why Ford has added the CoPilot360 as standard on all versions. This onboard safety package includes Blind Spot Detection, Lane Guidance, Pre-Crash Assist and Rear View Camera. Other security options are also available as options. Ford Pass Access is also standard and allows you to remotely contact and even lock the doors using your smartphone.
Free-standing body construction
5 versions available
ST version with 400 horsepower sport package
Hybrid version available
10-speed automatic transmission
CoPilot360 security system as standard
All-wheel drive with Terrain Management as standard
Trailer Stabilization System

Well, according to the blisters on my feet it wasn't easy but I completed the Ridgeway 40 (as mentioned in previous posts). I needed a good (and fit) friend to keep the tempo high to take my mind of the blisters but we made it inside of our target 12 hours.
I could have included rather gory pictures of my feet, but decided it was more tasteful to show this vista north of Marlborough (one of the few photos taken whilst I was still enjoying the landscape and before serious focus was required).
The Ridgeway 40 follows an ancient route from Overton Down in Wiltshire to Streatley in Berkshire and this annual event is a celebration of that history.


October 13, 11:00 am - Finished with my mid-sem and proceeding towards my Scooty, I heard a gang of first years shouting, "SHAHRUKH KHAN is coming to DB Mall." Blimey!! I thought, isn't he like, 45 years old now? Why is everybody raving about somebody who is more likely to adopt them than marry them? It's not like this was the first time a film-star was coming to Bhopal, not after Prakash Jha's Rajneeti and Aarakshan, no Sir! Overlooking our misgivings, my friends and I decided to be a part of the mass hysteria and we reached the venue by 11:30.
"No entry without passes", one of the Black Cat security personnel confirmed. We tried calling people who could get us some, but with no such luck. They were either unavailable or busy. An hour passed, and only two of us were left now. The others went home, vexed by the heat and the trickling sweat. Reluctant to go before Shahrukh's arrival, we sat down in the middle of the road, while the onlookers passed us, commenting on our present state. "Anything for Shahrukh" was the attitude we carried throughout the euphoria and jubilation. Time crawled and barely half an hour was up when the security officials had taken charge of the crowd. People were running in our direction, followed by guards brandishing lathis. Panic-stricken, we hid ourselves among a group of women not wanting to be victimized by the raining stones. The chaos died down and brought us back to our senses and we decided to let go of the SRK craze. There were better things to do in life than getting crushed in a stampede.
1:30 pm - we went to relax inside a cafeteria packed with the SRK fans. The lone LCD in there was constantly showing songs from his movies and Ra.One previews. Ignoring the loudspeaker could not make us ignore the fact that the public here was present for King Khan only and continually talked about him and the promos. We decided to become a part of the crowd again. He had already arrived by then and we were dying to get a glimpse of him, even at a distance of 1000 feet from the balcony of the Mall. After 3 more hours of waiting and ducking the lathis and stones, somebody coming out of the Mall told us that SRK already left!
Still not in mood to go back home after 7 hours of waiting and 7 missed calls from home; we waited for the crowd to disperse when it suddenly roared madly again.
YES!!! IT WAS SRK ON THE BALCONY!!!
No kidding, 7 proved to be the magic number! For the first time in my life, I saw a film star, even though it was from a distance, and that too SHAHRUKH KHAN! 15 minutes, he stood there trying to please each and every person in that gathering, sometimes dancing, at times giving his signature pose, waving at the crowd in every direction possible. We were not less than 200 meters away from him and my friend had already started waving at him like a maniac. I saw what she was doing and as I focused my attention back on him, I saw him return the gesture. For a moment I couldn't believe what had happened.
Those 15 minutes washed away all the fatigue of waiting wearily to get just one glimpse of him. I didn't get any sleep that night until I wrote this down and narrated this incident to almost every single friend of mine who was an SRK fan. The insanity for the name SRK proves the very statement made by Shahrukh Khan himself, "I am not Shahrukh Khan; rather I work for the brand Shahrukh Khan." Best wishes for Don 2.
P.S. I am going to watch it first day first show.
I eat when I am bored and I live by the quotes that explain exactly what I am going through. I fancy reading Archie comics for the love of my favourite character Jughead Jones and I tend to get attracted to guys with a persona like him. I am a loner and at times I search for lonely spots where I can just sit and daydream.
