The blame can be placed solely and indubitably at the feet of Stainless. It was just a few hours ago, that as we stood in his driveway, he asked me when was the last time I had any fun? Now mind you, I have been on a couple of pretty cool vacations, been to the UK a couple of times for speaking engagements, seen a few concerts and sporting events.....and for some stupid reason I answered, "Back when I was hitting that ridiculous blog on a regular basis."
True talk. That silly response was the best I could muster. And I have absolutely no idea why it came out of my mouth. But it did. And here I sit. Back in my therapy chair. So comfortable. And so, so cheap!
Trust me when I say that a thousand or two topics have come to mind over the last couple of years. But all of them just exhaust me. And if I dared to bring up even one of them, then I would have to listen to your incessant rebuttals. And quite frankly, you exhaust me even more! As I get older, I truly am getting more and more okay with your right to be wrong and I, for the most part, have given up on trying to make you see it my way.....the right way.
Consequently, instead of addressing societal ills, of which there are thousands. I am going back to where this little experiment all began and I am going to discuss my very most, favoritest topic.....ME!
I find it amazing how so many of my favorite quotes are found on T-shirts. I'll never forget the first time I saw a shirt that read "I don't even like the people I like." Within 24 hours, I had Shoe's wife press me one out and to this day, that shirt remains one of my most valued possessions. Goodwrench, however, is currently sporting a shirt that I must one day own. My jealousy is incalculable. I offered him $100 cash the first time I saw it. On a couple of instances, I have been frozen with envy as Goodwrench has walked into the room with a shirt that says "JUST PRETEND I'M NOT HERE. THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING."
Sometimes, this strikes me as funny/sad. Other times it strikes me as sad/funny. Then there are times, when I'm all alone in my head (a very dangerous neighborhood), that the truth behind this silly sentiment, on a silly t-shirt, just completely breaks my heart.
And I start to list all the places in my daily walk, that I am so tempted to just pretend I'm not here.
Do I pretend I'm not here on my job? Have I pretended I'm not here in a house of Worship? Have I not been here when out to dinner with friends? Have I pretended not to be here sitting on the couch watching TV with my wife? Have I really not been here at a choir concert of one of my children? Have I not been here while visiting a friend in the hospital? Have I pretended not to be here at the funeral of a loved one?
It's very, very plain to see that this list could go on and on and on and on. I cannot describe the extent to which this truth disturbs me.
For those of you keeping score from a few years ago, I am still meditating every day. Coming up on 1,400 days in a row. The ongoing mantra almost every day from my little Tibetan Monk is to just be present..... right here..... right now. This simple thought might be the biggest challenge I face in my daily life.
But Goodwrench's shirt has challenged in a way that I've not been challenged in quite some time. And I really, truly want to make a change. And in ALL the instances mentioned above and in all the other hundreds of situations I find myself in, I'm going to strive, to the best of my ability, to be PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR.

Honeywell's Low Background Calibration Facility (LBCF) is undergoing an extensive upgrade that will increase the overall testing flexibility while meeting all the performance requirements necessary to calibrate and to provide realistic mission simulations for state-of-the-art IR space sensors. The upgrade includes a new, off-axis optical collimator using a Cassegrain design with an effective focal length of 200 in.; an internal radiometer that will, in effect, calibrate a sample of the test beam while a sensor is under test; and a new source assembly similar to the AEDC Mark 7 design to improve source dynamic range and stability and to increase testing flexibility. Concepts are also being generated for a scenario simulator that will consist of a focal plane with a matrix of 4,000 discrete targets individually controlled by computer to emulate a typical threat scenario. The objective of these upgrades is to provide a facility with total sensor calibration and mission emulation capability without sacrificing the low operational cost that typifies this medium-sized chamber. It will be most useful both for rapid testing of production systems and for economical integration and functional checking of developmental sensors.

Being one who frequently speaks of the tremendous opportunities, events, and experiences New York City offers, there is so much I have never seen, beginning with the Statue of Liberty -- but that can wait. Therefore, during my three day summer vacation last week, with my best friend in town, I made sure we had the ultimate New York Experience: vintage shopping, too much coffee, vegan sushi, and getting caught in the rain. I also happened to see Sleep No More and believe me, now I've seen everything.
All this New York madness was great; but I think the best part was when my friend pulled up to my apartment, woke me up with a phone call, and suggested the first thing we do is have a photoshoot. Yep, she's awesome.
White parties have always held my fascination, my sole knowledge of them originating from Gossip Girl. That fascination can be attributed to my obvious obsession with all-white outfits. As the weather is finally catering to my clothing preferences, I am upholding my promise to add more white on white outfit posts.
I am accustomed to the occasional stranger asking me the origins of a particular clothing article, but the day I walked outside in this outfit, I was stopped many more times than usual. One woman went so far as to halt me in my steps with a loud, "Excuse me!" When I turned around, ready to embrace some crazy-lady sidewalk rebuke, she instead gave me an exaggerated up-down, and exclaimed, "I like that!" I'm telling you, it's the white on white effect. So, get on it!
Check out similarly inspired posts here: white on white and white eyelet dress. Let me know what you think!


Wanted to ask really. When your ligaments stretch with your growing uterus, would this mainly effect your lower regions - say just below the knickerline? Have really horrible discomfort there today but if it's ligaments again then at least I know not to worry.
I seem to get slightly different pains at different times and in different places so far!
I full of aches and pains ... back,hips ... i have pressure below when i walk ..... pulling when i stand up.
None that give me concern now really as i seem to have got used to it all !
Horrid innit, all par for the course though eh?
yeah i am passed worrying about it now.
i more bothered about this blood heat !!!!!
Swollen feet - oh my word !!! ... i had mine in a washing up bowl the other night !!!! ...... they now though !!!
I could do with resting my back in a bath, never mind my feet!
I've just pulled down a stiff window at work and wished I hadn't!
Just had a chat with my consultant today re pains above the groin on either side of belly in the lower ab..apparantly during the 2nd tri we have a major and fast uterus growth spurt which stretches the Round ligaments....resting is the best cure until everything adapts and settles...it is affecting my ability to exercise which is a bugger but hopefully not for long!!
Ah, I'm reassurred now. Had loads of pains 'down there' last night and had a really uncomfortable night's sleep. At least I know it's perfectly normal.


Four weeks ago, the Bunyon Brothers Construction Company began work on a 77-unit condominium complex at the end of a quiet, wooded, dead-end street named Chestnut Drive. All permits were properly, if quietly, obtained, and the quality of construction is high. Some resistance from the neighborhood was, of course, expected, but tempers now seem to be unusually high and a credible threat has developed of neighbors blocking the site access. The Company's General Counsel has scheduled a meeting with a neighborhood "negotiating committee." In preparation, he has scheduled an internal planning meeting with the Vice Presidents for Construction Management and for Marketing and Development. The exercise revolves around their three-party meeting.
NOTE: This exercise is an intra-team negotiation and is one of the two sides that makes up the exercise Chestnut Village (the other side is the exercise Chestnut Drive).
The Company officers should meet for 45-105 minutes. A break after 45 minutes for a presentation on intra-group process can be useful. After the completion of these preparation sessions, the groups should meet with one or more neighbor representatives (one or more of the officers at a time, however they chose in their planning session). Neighbors can be played by the instructor(s) or by other participants who have prepared as neighbors in the context of Chestnut Drive. Instructors can model various styles of negotiation. These negotiation sessions usually run about 20 minutes each. Different groups of executives and neighbors can continue by the substitution method (taking over where things left off) or by starting over.
This case focuses on two major themes. The first is preparation. What is your BATNA? What is theirs? What are their major interests likely to be? What are ours? What does their choice look like now? How, realistically, could we change it? What can they actually do? What can we do? How do we make it as easy as possible for them to do what we want, and hard for them to do otherwise? How do we best communicate all this? What yesable propositions do we have for them? Should we consult before deciding?
The second theme is meeting design and group process. How do three people work together to prepare for a negotiation? Set an agenda? Set strict time limits? Use a flipchart and a recorder? A facilitator? Separate inventing from deciding? And how do they work together in the ultimate meeting? Should they? How do they avoid divide and conquer tactics or distractions that keep them from focusing on any one point? How do they get commitment?
Another important theme is the problem of dealing with a representative of a constituency who does not have firm authority. The neighbor negotiators cannot really commit their neighbors. How should the Bunyon Brothers deal with that? Can either party really agree to what the other wants?
The case also raises the question of relationship and reputation. Both sides have important long-term interests.

Over the last couple of weeks there have been a couple of articles in the New York Daily News which mention me. I wanted to respond in the Daily News, but due to limited space in the letters to the editor section, they severely edited and shortened my response (the shortened response appeared in last Sunday's paper.) I have posted my entire response below for those of you who would like to read it.
Former Lt. Hughes (Voice of the People, Police Story, April 25) claims that during his 21 years in the NYPD in 10 different commands, "I never saw corruption," concluding that it therefore does not exist. I guess Mr. Hughes never heard of the Mollen Commission on his watch, or Abner Louima, or Amadou Diallo, or the Dirty Thirty (Precinct), or the current on-going investigation by the Feds into NYPD narcotics cops caught taking money on surveillance tapes by the DEA.
Poster-child narcotics detective Ed Conlon claims that Serpico "was a very strange man," (Rush & Molloy, April 22) because he carried a pet mouse (but, he omits that this mouse was part of my disguise while working as an undercover narc), and that the movie Serpico "was too kind to its subject." The movie, unfortunately, was too kind to the NYPD. Conlon told the news, "If Serpico knows people who have complaints, they ought to come forward." He makes it sound so easy. We have seen repeatedly, that the NYPD does not make it easy for officers to report instances of corruption. More often than not, the person reporting the corruption is ostracized and suffers negative consequences as a result – just ask Joe Trimboli of the Mollen Commission. Giuliani vetoed an independent board on police corruption a number of times when he was in office and we have seen the ineffectiveness of the CCRB again and again. Maybe the Latino and Black Officer's Association should have gone to Conlon when bringing their discrimination suit against the NYPD? Or the officers who were transferred to other units because they wouldn't play the quota game when the Police Union turned its back on them? If Conlon wanted to know how it was 30 years ago, he should have asked me, he made no such attempt.
Mr. Hughes says I should "be ashamed of myself" -- for what, for doing my job and being an honest man? It's now over 30 years since I reported widespread police corruption within the NYPD. They are still trying to malign my name and minimize what took place – it's way past time that the NYPD take responsibility for the issue of corruption and take action within its forces rather than trying to minimize the issue and cover it up.
Thanks for all the positive feedback that we have received on the website. From time to time I will post my thoughts on this Blog. Please feel free to communicate with me via the email address on this website, serpico@frankserpico.com or through this Blog.

Perturbation of invadolysin disrupts cell migration in zebrafish (Danio rerio).
Invadolysin is an essential, conserved metalloprotease which links cell division with cell migration and is intriguingly associated with lipid droplets. In this work we examine the expression pattern, protein localisation and gross anatomical consequences of depleting invadolysin in the teleost Danio rerio. We observe that invadolysin plays a significant role in cell migration during development. When invadolysin is depleted by targeted morpholino injection, the appropriate deposition of neuromast clusters and distribution of melanophores are both disrupted. We also observe that blood vessels generated via angiogenesis are affected in invadolysin morphant fish while those formed by vasculogenesis appear normal, demonstrating an unanticipated role for invadolysin in vessel formation. Our results thus highlight a common feature shared by, and a requirement for invadolysin in, these distinct morphological events dependent on cell migration.


New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) walked away from a homeless woman while she asked him for greater public assistance Friday.
A video of the encounter, posted to YouTube and detailed by the New York Times, shows de Blasio shaking the woman's hand in a Brooklyn Y.M.C.A. She asks him, "Out of 300,000 units in your affordable housing program, only 5 percent will go to the homeless. Can you look me in the eye and tell me why?"
De Blasio interrupts her. "I'm in the middle of doing my workout," he cuts in. "Sorry. I can't do this now." His security details steps in and he departs. De Blasio later agreed to meet in City Hall.
De Blasio's press secretary, Eric Phillips, blamed the homeless woman for interrupting the mayor's gym routine. "People working out at the gym shouldn't be worried they will be recorded in highly publicized, videotaped political confrontations every morning," Phillips said.
The woman who approached de Blasio is Nathylin Flowers Adesegun, a 72-year-old who lost her home and has advocated for New York public assistance for the homeless. She is a member of Vocal-NY, which has tried without success to move de Blasio on the issue. De Blasio has ignored the group, according to members. "We needed to get his attention or he was just going to keep blowing us off," Adesegun told the Times.
Members of Vocal-NY have called into de Blasio's radio appearances, attended his town halls, and participated in agency meetings, but without success.
Giselle Routhier, policy director of the Vocal-NY, blamed de Blasio for over a year of inaction since the group first began calling on him to act. "You can't address record homeless without dedicating a meaningful portion of your housing plan to homelessness," she told the Times.
De Blasio's office stood by his refusal to engage Adesegun. "It's not the right venue for these discussions and the mayor won't have them there," his press secretary said.
Over the course of his almost five years in office, Mr. de Blasio has been confronted at the Y.M.C.A. by the union representing uniformed police officers as well as by a large group calling for traffic-calming measures after the deaths of a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy who were struck by a driver a block from the gym.
On average, the mayor encounters at least one protest per month at the gym, and, as he did with the group calling for traffic changes, Mr. de Blasio sometimes stops to talk.
Under de Blasio, the homeless rate in New York City has reached its highest since the Great Depression. More than 60,000 of the city's residents, a third of whom are children, live in shelters.

United offers a primer in how NOT to handle a crisis
A lack of timeliness, focusing on its own staff instead of consumers and using corporate-speak made the mea culpa come across as uncaring, says one PR pro.
By Hinda Mitchell
Many crisis communicators are dishing about the handling (mishandling) of the recent United Airlines Flight 3411.
The airline's overbooking, along with its forced removal of a passenger, caused news media outlets and social media users to rage against United, with many calling for a boycott.
The incident and backlash have spread outside the United States: Social media users in China are criticizing the airline, and many have said they will refuse to fly with the carrier.
Asking for volunteers to give up an overbooked flight is commonplace, but this tweet by Merriam-Webster underlines many consumers' ire with United:
📈'Volunteer' means "someone who does something without being forced to do it." https://t.co/qNAcMyplhZ
— Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) April 11, 2017
On Monday, United's chief executive, Oscar Munoz, issued the following statement:
United CEO response to United Express Flight 3411. pic.twitter.com/rF5gNIvVd0
— United (@united) April 10, 2017
Munoz also sent a letter to employees, and though he said that 'there are lessons we can learn,' he ultimately stood behind the team's actions:
Like you, I was upset to see and hear about what happened last night aboard United Express Flight 3411 headed from Chicago to Louisville. While the facts and circumstances are still evolving, especially with respect to why this customer defied Chicago Aviation Security Officers the way he did, to give you a clearer picture of what transpired, I've included below a recap from the preliminary reports filed by our employees.
As you will read, this situation was unfortunately compounded when one of the passengers we politely asked to deplane refused and it became necessary to contact Chicago Aviation Security Officers to help. Our employees followed established procedures for dealing with situations like this. While I deeply regret this situation arose, I also emphatically stand behind all of you, and I want to commend you for continuing to go above and beyond to ensure we fly right.
I do, however, believe there are lessons we can learn from this experience, and we are taking a close look at the circumstances surrounding this incident. Treating our customers and each other with respect and dignity is at the core of who we are, and we must always remember this no matter how challenging the situation.
Examining United's crisis response
The airline has suffered millions of dollars in reputational damage, and it probably will find itself on the uncomfortable end of a legal settlement.
Worthy of further review is Munoz's statement, along with what constitutes a good apology in a crisis.
[RELATED: Join us at Disney World for our Social Media Conference for PR, Marketing and Communications Professionals.]
The response was issued a full day after the incident occurred—and after the news and social media firestorms were burning uncontrollably. United broke the first rule of crisis response: Respond quickly, and guide the narrative.
The apology itself left much to be desired. Let's parse it:
1. "This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United."
Don't start an apology by feeling sorry for yourself. The event likely was far more upsetting to the passenger involved and the others onboard.
This recalls the much-criticized response of Lululemon's chief executive when he apologized to his team (instead of to customers) about the company's see-through yoga pants debacle, and the former chief executive of BP, Tony Hayward, who wanted his "life back" after his company polluted the Gulf of Mexico in a massive oil spill.
If a crisis has hurt others, don't make it all about you.
2. "I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers."
There was nothing about the video that seemed to suggest any kind of "accommodation" was made. Truthfully, it looked pretty darned unaccommodating.
Overbooking is the secondary issue here. Though it might not be pleasant, anyone who is a regular air traveler knows that overbooking happens—frequently—but almost never rises to this level of scrutiny.
The measure of airlines that overbook is how they handle it. This manner clearly did not measure up.
3. "Our team is moving with a sense of urgency to work with the authorities and conduct our own detailed review of what happened."
Moving with urgency doesn't seem to fit with waiting 24 hours to respond. Further, when there is damning footage and passenger accounts of what occurred, the stock PR answer of "detailed review" falls flat.
4. "We are also reaching out to this passenger to talk directly to him and further address and resolve this situation."
This qualifies as another "stock" answer when something more meaningful is required.
Most pundits interpret this to mean, "How much are we going to have to pay to settle this colossal mess?" United's monetary damages will go far beyond the involved passenger or other passengers on the flight.
There was nothing in Munoz's response that suggests the company feels bad about its treatment of this passenger. What the airline evidently regrets it that there was video of the incident—and that it got "caught."
When there is video—whether it tells the full story or not—communicators must understand and acknowledge the effects the images have on the viewer. The video was, by anyone's standards, disturbing at least and violent at best.
This apology fails badly. United will not course-correct overnight, and what occurred here could change the face of air travel. It will take thoughtful engagement, real reparations and genuine contrition to restore consumers' trust and respect in United Airlines.

The cofounders of D.C.-based kids activity subscription service Surprise Ride will continue developing products with Fat Brain Toys under the acquisition terms.
Surprise Ride founders Donna (left) and Rosy Khalife during their November 2013 appearance on ABC's "Shark Tank."
Surprise Ride, a subscription box service for kids, was acquired by independent toy company Fat Brain Toys. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. D.C.–based Surprise Ride creates products to get kids to put down the electronic devices and was featured on ABC's Shark Tank, Technical.ly DC previously reported.
Founded in 2013 by sisters Donna and Rosy Khalife, Surprise Ride has developed more than 50 kits in an array of categories like crafts, STEM projects, books and games to keep kids away from the screen, a press release states. Surprise Ride subscriptions are already available under Fat Brain Toys' brand on its website. The Khalife sisters will continue to develop products following the acquisition with Fat Brain Toys.
This is a big move in the toy industry, given Toys R US' bankruptcy and the closing of all its U.S. stores in June, the as the Washington Post reported. Omaha, Nebraska–based Fat Brain Toys was founded in 2002 by Adam Carson and his father. The company started as an online toy store and has grown into a manufacturer of educational toys and games for kids. Fat Brain Toys employs more than 300 people to meet the holiday rush needs, the company stated in the press release.

I've recently started playing gypsy jazz and have finally decided to buy a decent manouche guitar to further my growth. Excited! I've been following this forum for a while now, and have read wonderful reviews of the GJ-15 and the D-500. I was wondering, would either of these guitars be ideal for starters and, if so, which do you guys prefer? I'm aware of the price difference and that the D-500 has a bit of reverb, whilst gypsy jazz is typically meant to sound 'dry'.
Also, how do they compare with the Selma BM300? This is my only real-life reference to a gypsy jazz guitar, as it's not quite common both in clubs or in stores here in the Netherlands.
Thanks in advance, and am looking forward to starting this new adventure in my guitar playing!
I've never heard or played a Selma BM300. I've played several D 500's and GJ 15s and own both.
I wouldn't recommend one over the other. They're both good, and your right: The 500 is wetter but not so much and both will do the trick.
The neck on the 500 is a little wider and the finish is a lot nicer. The lack of a thick finish on the 15 means that the top is freer so the difference between the sound of each string is more pronounced.
I'm assuming you already know that these are short neck guitars so there's a little less room at the high end of the neck.
Both of these guitars represent a terrific value. Either gives you a powerful guitar that is capable of great variety of styles as they aren't as specifically "gypsy" as their long neck cousins. Both also have wider necks than the long cousins, something I prefer.
The D-500 is wet and the GJ-15 is boomy. The former is more annoying, personally.
Recommend the GJ-15, a good choice for a first gypsy jazz guitar.
It's a superior instrument to the D-500 despite being at a lower price level, so that's a win-win.
Never heard of the other one you mentioned, so can't comment on that.
Thank you for taking your time in helping me out. I appreciate it. I've been thinking about my own style of play and would like to share the following thoughts.
I've been playing the guitar for about 15 years now and feel lucky to be able to come home and play my José Ramirez 4CWE, Martin HD-28e Retro, Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster and Rickenbacker 330/12 each day. All wonderful guitars. Having said that, I must say that I started with beginners' guitars and gradually 'went up the ladder' (for a lack of a better description). Now that gypsy jazz has sparked my interest, I wonder if a similar approach would be best when learning the genre. The idea of starting off with a decent manouche guitar for long-term playing also attracts me, and has, I think, my preference.
Also, of the guitars just mentioned, I feel most comfortable with the Martin and Fender, as their necks feel slim and offer easy access to the upper frets. If I'm correct, manouche guitars with an oval hole generally have a slimmer neck. Would it, therefore, be wise to stick to the necks I prefer and, thus, purchase such a guitar? I tend to think so.
Thanks in advance, and feel free to suggest guitars. I will look them up.
I think you are right on the mark with choosing one of these entry level guitars. They are both on the lower end of cost (for these guitars) and you can figure out if this is something you are going to stick with before you go full bore with a higher end instrument (at higher end prices). Just get the guitar set up nicely and you might find that you don't even need a higher level guitar. Good luck!
Now that gypsy jazz has sparked my interest, I wonder if a similar approach would be best when learning the genre. The idea of starting off with a decent manouche guitar for long-term playing also attracts me, and has, I think, my preference.
No, I don't agree. Gypsy guitars are worlds apart from all the others you mentioned. And since you've already been playing guitar 15 years, it's almost certain you're going to play a gypsy guitar with some weird technique at first, and not be able to get "the" sound right. That will be the limiting factor here, not the level of your instrument.
Learn to play the style of rhythm first, and learn the broken wrist picking style, because you won't even know what qualities you value most in a GJ guitar until you've been playing the music for a year or so.
From what you've said, you might prefer a GJ-10 to a GJ-15. It has a slimmer neck and better access (also a better sound) on the upper frets. Similar price.
As I recall, both the Gitane D-500 and Cigano GJ-15 have only 12 frets to the body, which could limit your lead play. I haven't played the Cigano GJ-15, but I own a GJ-10 (14 frets to the body) and it is a nice guitar with a thin neck. The GJ-10 has a nice sound for lead, but is a bit muddy on rhythm, compared to to my Dupont (of course).
Thanks guys. Good point, I think I'll stick to a student model then. Is it possible for me to order a guitar on Djangobooks for the Netherlands? If so, I'd like to add a pickup for recording. Which do you prefer?
I read an article about student gypsy jazz guitars on Reverb.com I think (which I can't find unfortunately), and the writer mentioned the following guitars: Gitane DG-255, Cigano GJ-10 and Paris Swing GG-39. The Gitane was described as 'darker sounding' than the Cigano. Not much was said about the GG-39. I'm currently in the process of recording an album and would like to add some gypsy jazz rhythm parts to the upright bass and vocals. The guitars just mentioned have oval holes and are preferred for lead; are these capable of handling rhythm parts as well or would the sonic space be too crowded with the addition of vocals?
I also have a Cigano GJ-10. It's ok, but I like the Gitane long scales more, and the Altimira long scales a lot more! Yes the oval hole guitars all have a slimmer neck. The width of the neck at the 1st fret goes: 1 7/8" - Gitane 500, slightly less - Cigano GJ15, and 1 3/4" for virtually all of the oval regardless of the maker. Neck thickness varies on all of these regardless of width.
On the other hand the GJ - 15 and Cigano have a 25 1/4" inch scale (slightly shorter than your martin, and all of the oval hole guitars are a whopping 26 3/8" scale length - longer than anything you have by an inch or more.
So with the ovals you get a slim - loooong neck with really good access to the top frets. You'll get used to it but it'll take a few hours or more.
Fancy lead playing, way up the neck, makes that long scale great because your fingers have room to romp and the long scale makes playing at the higher frets a easier.
I've got medium size hands, I'm 5'11", and no trouble, after a few years, making big stretches low down on the long neck, where its a "disadvantage".
@Arifin I have owned all of those guitars and the best of the bunch is the Cigano GJ-10. It certainly isn't perfect, but all things considered, it is a very nice "student guitar", plays well, and sounds somewhat authentic. The Gitane DG-255 had very annoying overtones and the Paris Swing GG-39 wasn't as loud as the others, and was slightly larger, making it less comfortable to play for long periods. The GG-39 did have an authentic sound. Buy the Cigano, and keep it for travel when you finally buy a luthier made guitar.
Thank you for all the wonderful feedback. I'm back, and have tried out two different guitars at a mate. He has both a D-hole and an oval-shaped guitar, both pretty decent and in the €1500 price range used. (As a reminder, my preference goes to a guitar that's not per se world class but decent enough to record with, as my budget is around €500, which is slightly less in dollars.) I must say the feel is different, and I really prefer the thinner neck. However, when it comes to sound, the warmth of the D-hole is what I need.
Which D-hole guitars in the market have both a slim neck and a decent warm rhythmic sound?

HempWick Beeswax Votive Gift Box of 4 HempWick Beeswax Votive Gift Box of 4 – HempWick™ Handmade By Hippies in New Smyrna Beach, FL!!
4 Pack of hand poured 100% pure beeswax votive candles in a gift box!
Use: Works great for relighting HempWick, setting the mood, and will clean smells from the air!
Scent: Naturally smells like honey. Nothing added to it.
BEESWAX- All of the organic beeswax we use to make our candles comes from the very same hives as the beeswax we use to hand make HempWick! The bees who make it live out in our local mangroves on wild, undeveloped land. The bees gather the pollens they need to make wild tropical blossom honey and wax from gallberry, saw palmetto, and other tropical wild flower blossoms. The acreage surrounding their hives is wild, un cultivated, and is not fertilized or chemically sprayed. Thank you for supporting us and for helping us support our local bee keepers! We are all grateful!
HEMPWICK- 100% HempWick Wick! Handmade by us with organic hemp from Romania!
TAG, BOX, PACKAGING- 100% Recycled! Please reuse or recycle it all!
NO GMOS, NO paraffin wax (a byproduct of petroleum production), NO Soy wax (soy wax is heavily processed and genetically modified), No Cotton wicks, No Lead, No toxic fumes, No scents, No fragrances! Just pure organic goodness!
- Always burn votives in a votive holder. The closer fitting the better. If the holder is too large the wax burn unevenly and the candle will burn out quickly.
-It's best to burn for 3-4 hours at a time. Then allow the candle to cool completely before using it again. This will make the candle last longer and burn more evenly.
-Light the wick from the base where the wick meets the beeswax. This gives the beeswax time to soak into the wick.
Looking for scented candles? The pure beeswax smells super sweet like honey but if you want a scented candle.... No problem! Burn the candle and wait till its melted a bit >>Put the fire out<< and add a few drops of your favorite pure essential oil into the melted wax puddle. And voila! No weird chemicals, no artificial fragrances, no toxic fumes!
- Remove all paper packaging before using your candle!
- The votive holder can get hot!
- Never leave a burning candle unattended!
- Burn on a flat and solid heat resistant surface.
- Keep burning candles far away from children, pets and all flammable materials like curtains, papers, clothing, books, pillows, and rugs!

YouTube has a 91% viewability rate, compared to the wider web's 54%.
After nearly two years of industry speculation, the new standard toughens rules for viewable video impressions – raising the standard to 100 percent of the ad in view, from the prior 50 percent, for at least two seconds.
But the viewability standard also will be applied to linear TV for cross-media reporting, where digital and TV impressions are both included. That would require that TV ratings specify individual commercials were in view, as opposed to average-minute ratings across commercial pods now in commonly used Nielsen measures.
The draft cross-media rules also establish a "duration weighting" standard, where the total amount of time, either by seconds or by "quartile" portion of the ad, is reported, either in digital or linear TV media. That too requires more precise ratings data for individual commercials than applies to current widely used Nielsen TV ratings.
That standard, which would take effect in 2021, would require measurement firms to measure either TV or digital ads second-by-second, "or if they don't they would have to model their less granular data," such as average-minute reporting or periodic polling or metering, to estimate second-level viewership, MRC CEO George Ivie says. "The MRC's audit would have to verify/validate that any such model is an accurate representation of the second-level data."
The draft standard also calls for general and sophisticated invalid traffic filtration to fight fraud and requires "consideration" of audio measurement for video ratings or impressions. The MRC says "measurement organizations should separately report viewable video duration that is also audible (non-mute or non-zero) where this can be measured." If a measurement service can't measure audible impressions, that should be disclosed, the MRC says.
An appendix to the draft standard outlines a new "duration weighted viewable impression" as a share of a 30-second denominator. "This is highly encouraged" as an input into cross-media video exposure metrics for digital and linear TV, the MRC says, and is planned as an additional requirement in the standard starting in 2021. But the MRC says duration weighting shouldn't be applied to longer-form video content.
In a statement, Bob Liodice, CEO of the Association of National Advertisers, pointed to the draft standard as a sign "positive outcomes of the industry's 3MS [the Making Measurement Make Sense development program launched in 2011] are now being realized, and we're delighted to have proposed standards that have the potential to provide effective cross-media audience measurement."
The Media Rating Council is an organization with membership from throughout the ad industry developed to oversee and accredit U.S. media measurement, originally in response to Congressional hearings in the 1960s.


He Lives on in Spirit!!
Thane SPCA without Dear the Donkey, is unimaginable. But the inevitable always happens. Dear left us after 9 years.
Dear in his lifetime had gained more fame than any of us. Because of the way he fought to stay alive as a baby after his road accident, his arduous limb amputation by Dr. Vikram Dave who named him Dear, his antics with his prosthetic leg, his penchant for dog food and his friendship with Shembur, the resident cat who he would carry on his back around the hospital.
We will not mourn his passing away. Because he is so alive with us in the spirit he infused in us.

50 Shots: A Video Report From the Sean Bell Demonstrations
I attended the march with a cameraman by my side, and stayed until the end, well after the media had left.
Max Blumenthal, Contributor
May 2, 2008, 09:21 PM EDT | Updated Dec 6, 2017
On April 25, the three NYPD detectives who killed bridegroom Sean Bell the night before his wedding and wounded his two friends were acquitted of all charges. The undercover officers, who had riddled Bell's car with 50 shots, claimed in court that they were scared by Bell and his friends, even though the men were unarmed and on their way home from a club. Detective Michael Oliver must have been especially frightened. He alone fired 31 shots, even stopping to reload on his way to killing Bell. Arthur Cooperman, a 78-year-old judge scheduled to retire next year (the cops were spared a jury of their peers), essentially ruled that the officers' supposed fear justified their indiscriminate firing of 50 shots at Bell and his unarmed friends.
The crowd that gathered outside the courtroom was stunned when the verdict was announced. Hours later, in the streets of Jamaica, Queens, where Sean Bell lived and died, marchers gathered almost spontaneously to vent their rage against the verdict and the epidemic of police brutality that has touched communities across New York City. As night descended, and the march detoured first to the site of Bell's killing, then to a housing project in South Jamaica, Queens, the crowd grew in size and in the intensity of its anger. Calls for violent retaliation against the police nearly became reality, as marchers surrounded vans filled with NYPD officers, forcing the police to withdraw from the streets and rely on aerial surveillance instead.
I attended the march with a cameraman by my side, and stayed until the end, well after the media had left, to report on the frustration that animated the march, and capture the drama that unfolded. Though the city has remained peaceful in the wake of last weekend's demonstrations, my video suggests that the heightened tension between residents of inner-city communities and cops may cross a dangerous threshold unless justice is done. With bold visual evidence, my coverage clearly contradicts the New York Times' careless contention that "the acquittals in the Bell case have so far been largely met with a muted response. Thousands of protesters did not fill the streets, no unrest ensued."
In my video, I also probed the Sean Bell verdict's impact on the presidential campaign. As my friend Roberto Lovato wrote last week, Barack Obama's "Failure to use his rhetorical gifts to speak forcefully to and about real black and non-black anger about the Sean Bell verdict may re-animate doubts about commitment to that part of his base that is not white middle- and working-class."
Sure enough, after Obama responded to an African-American reporter's question about the verdict with a boilerplate call for "com[ing] together," and stressed the need to respect Cooperman's decision, he received an angry phone call from Al Sharpton. Sharpton, who has pressed for a federal investigation into Bell's killing, reportedly accused Obama of seeking to "grandstand in front of white people." Though Sharpton has since denied attacking Obama, their alleged tiff highlights the quandary Obama faces as he looks to cultivate support among blue collar white voters while maintain his credibility in the black community.
I was proud to feature new music in my video by my friends for over a decade, the legendary live hip-hop band, Dujeous. Their song, "Eyewitness," which was inspired by Sean Bell's killing, features one of hip-hop's most incisive political rappers, Immortal Technique. Check it out.

goBE Experts sell 400% more homes than the average real estate agent. We're able to do this because we put you, our client, as #1! Our focus is to consistently give YOU the best buying or selling experience. I know many other agents say that as well, but I there is no other brokerage with the statistics that match the statement. Our service is unmatched and unrivaled by any other real estate brokerage/agent. How come our statistics are so much higher than the average? It starts with the foundation.
All you need to join a typical brokerage is an active license. You don't need any experience, and you can be part-time or full-time. Once an agent pays their brokerage a set amount of money ($3,000 to $18,000) they don't have to pay any more fees. As a result the only way for the brokerage to make more money is to hire more agents. This means, the brokerage's main goal is recruiting as many agents as possible. That is key to their survival. As a result, the average agent sells 6 homes a year and makes around $34,900 (40% of agents make below $25k). Out of that income the agent must provide their own marketing when they list a home. goBE is different!
To join the goBE team requires a lot more than just an active license. Our agents must be Full-time, specialize in an area/niche and must have demonstrated a standard of service/experience/sales production. goBE is limited to 50 niche/area experts only. As a result the brokerage can only succeed when our agents are thriving. Because our brokerage has requirements to join and a limited availability of positions, the brokerage is focused on the consumer having the best experience possible. The only way to be profitable is to help our Neighborhood Experts be successful at helping you. That's why goBE experts sell 400% more homes than the average agent.
First, you get an expert that knows the Eagle Mountain neighborhoods you are looking to sell or buy in. Second, you know your agents has consistent experience to make them a professional. What would you think of using a dentist who only drills cavities 3x a year? That's not a professional, that's scary. Your goBE professional sells 400% more than the average real estate agent. Third, have you ever tried calling the number on a FOR SALE sign? How long did it take to get a call back? We are set up so that whenever you call the Help Now Hotline at 801-966-4000, you will talk to a live person! Not only that, but we can run out and show homes within 15 minutes. You have to catch buyers while they're interested if you want your home sold.
Do you ever wonder why some people's homes don't sell? The most common problem is that buyers can't reach someone to get inside the home. We sell more homes because we are available to help buyers NOW. At average brokerages only 20% of web inquiries get a reply back and it is usually 2 days later. When someone subscribes to our website we try to call back while they're still on the website. Selling your most important investment isn't a hobby for us, nor is it part time work, we take it seriously.
With over 5,000 agents in the area, and only 1,000 homes selling a month, it used to be impossible to know which agent is going to give you the best results possible. We made that process easy for you. UtahDave® hand selected the top Neighborhood Experts in each area that met the highest standard of reputation, service, results, and commitment to their community. Now you can easily find the expert in each area just by visiting goBErealty.com!

Fire Breaks Out At Lebanon Fuel Storage Facilities
According to AFP correspondents and the National News Agency, firefighters in Lebanon battled to contain a fire at key fuel storage facilities sparking alarm as the country grapples with dire hydrocarbon shortages.
The fire broke out at around 8.00am (0500 GMT) in a tank containing petrol belonging to the army at the Zahrani facilities some 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of Beirut, the National News Agency and local media said.
There was no immediate report of casualties.
A judicial source said an expert had been tasked with investigating the cause of the fire, but had been unable to approach the tank as the blaze still raged.
An AFP photographer saw flames lick up above the storage tank on fire, and huge plumes of dark smoke billowing into the sky.

Firemen worked to cool down the nearby tanks to prevent the fire from spreading.
The army cordoned off the area, cutting off roads leading to the facilities as well as the main highway linking Beirut to the country's south, the photographer said.
A worker in a plantation near the facilities told AFP he had heard a loud bang before the fire broke out.
The Zahrani facilities also include the power plant of the same name, and provide 15 percent of the country's fuel oil.
The Mediterranean nation is battling one of the planet's worst economic crises since the 1850s, and has in recent months struggled to import enough fuel oil for its power plants.
In recent months, Lebanese have only received one or two hours of state electricity a day.

The fire comes after the electricity grid went completely offline on Saturday.
That outage came after two key power plants, including the one in Zahrani, ran out of fuel.
By Sunday limited supply was back after the army provided gas oil.
Most Lebanese saw no major change to their daily lives during the blackout, as those who can afford it have already subscribed to private generators to keep the lights on during the almost round-the-clock power cuts.
Petrol has also been in short supply, forcing motorists to queue for hours outside gas stations to fill up their tank.

William Henry Wades Through the Deep Woo
By LaVaughn
Crossposted from Reflections Journal.
Recently on his radio show Revelations, William Henry discussed some of the challenges of sorting truth from fantasy in the alternative media marketplace with Randy Maugans. The resulting episode, "Hypesters, Lies and Mind Control" could just as easily have been called "William Henry and guest gently take the piss out of David Wilcock." I've been observing this trend in Henry's work for a while. He has been increasingly critical of his colleagues in the broader new age arena. It started with a kind of confusion and has gradually grown into dismay as his questions about the integrity of people in his milieu have grown. I notice it, in part, because I experienced similar disillusionment with teachers and colleagues in the psychic and healing arena I inhabit. There are people in my field with whom I respectfully disagree, which is fine. But I was also startlingly disabused, many years ago, of the notion that my fellow travelers were universally well-intended. I learned to my horror that some of them were self-serving and mercenary. I'm not going to say that Henry has reached the same conclusion but he's been noticeably shocked at the misuse and misrepresentation of his own work and has begun to publicly question the motives of some of his colleagues. In a recently posted interview, Henry talked about someone who had grossly distorted his work regarding the Capital Building. I'm wondering now if he meant Wilcock. He never expressly says it. But if you read between the lines... I don't know. Maybe.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should state that I have simply never been comfortable with David Wilcock. I learned about him some years ago in the context of his claim that he just might be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce -- something from which he has more recently tried to distance himself. I listened to a lecture of his on YouTube. Much of it was interesting, if not original. It seemed to be based on solid, esoteric research. But when he started showing pictures of Cayce and his circle of friends and comparing those to pictures of himself and his circle of friends, I winced. It's not just the absurdity of using physical resemblance as a marker of reincarnation. It was something else -- the palpable sense that David Wilcock did not believe David Wilcock. In short, my bullshit detector went off. Now that's a purely intuitive response on my part and I'm not claiming to know Wilcock's heart. I don't know him at all. But I've learned the hard way that when the little hairs on the back of my stand up, I ignore that instinctual response at my peril. I would always implore others to listen to their own intuition and never trust my gut response over their own. So if you love Wilcock's work and think he's awesome, I would never try to disabuse you of that on my say-so. And I would never say that his work has no value. Some of it is quite interesting.
That said, Wilcock's antics this past December raised many a pair of eyebrows. His claims of a death threat are touched upon in this discussion. I became aware of the debate over this in one of Clif High's typically cryptic postings. High can be very frustrating to read because he rarely contextualizes these things. You're either dialed into the woo as he is and fully aware of the preamble, or you're not. I'm not. So I did a little googling to find out what he was talking about and was kind of horrified. I'd present my findings if the computer I was on at the time WAS WORKING but it's not. (But enough about me and my daily irritations.) If you're curious, the search criteria would be something like David Wilcock, death threat, Project Camelot. Like much regarding Wilcock, this incident left me with a deduction of "patently absurd" and I walked away with another check in the "things that validate my intuitive distrust of Wilcock" column.
In this very frank discussion, Henry and Maugans say some things that need to be said. Whether you're looking at the main stream media or the woo-woo, alternative media on the internet, you need to question and evaluate everything. That means thinking critically but it also means listening to the still, small voice. What makes it hard is not so much, as Henry implied recently, that we want to believe what we want to believe and don't want to be bothered with troublesome facts. It's that human beings are creatures of narrative. We like to think we seek facts but the truth is that the items that fit our personal narrative, we accept. The ones that don't get sloughed off, sometimes without our even noticing it. It's human nature and it's something we have to stay in check with by constantly subjecting our own beliefs to critical analysis. We all have an inherent tendency to keep validating our own beliefs while disregarding things that call our beliefs into question. We also have to be really careful about giving our power away to people who we think know so much more than we do. If you find yourself accepting every word another person says, something is very wrong. They're all just people.

Study: Playing with a concussion doubles recovery time
August 29, 2016 / Athletic Administration • Football • Soccer • Sports Medicine & Nutrition
From the University of Arkansas
Young athletes with sport-related concussions who were not immediately removed from the field took nearly twice as long to recover as those who did not continue to play, according to a research team led by University of Arkansas professor R.J. Elbin and colleagues at three other universities.

In a study of high school football and soccer players, Elbin and his co-authors compare recovery time and clinical outcomes of concussed athletes who were removed from play immediately following concussion and those who were not. The study was published today by Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The researchers found that athletes who stayed in the game after having a concussion took about 44 days to recover, while athletes who were removed immediately took about 22 days to recover. Athletes who continued to play also showed worse cognitive problems and more severe symptoms than the athletes who were removed from play after injury.
"These results underscore the risks associated with continuing to play with a sport-related concussion and emphasize to athletes, parents, coaches and on-field clinicians the importance of timely recognition and identification of the signs and symptoms of concussion and immediate removal from play," Elbin said.
As many as 3.8 million concussions related to sports and recreation occur each year in the United States, according to the researchers. Concussions cause headache, dizziness and nausea and can harm various functions of the brain (e.g., cognitive, visual, emotional). Concussions can also result in academic and psychosocial problems.
"We know that, despite increases in awareness, some athletes continue to play with concussions because they do not want to be removed from a game," said Michael Collins, one of the co-authors and director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Sports Medicine Concussion Program. "This research indicates that knowing when to get treated can be critical to a faster recovery, and we hope it will help those athletes, coaches and parents make better decisions about whether to keep playing."
Elbin's co-authors included five researchers from the University of Pittsburgh's concussion program, where Elbin completed a post-doctoral research fellowship before joining the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions at the University of Arkansas. Elbin also served on a national panel of the nation's leading concussion clinicians and researchers that convened last fall in Pittsburgh to write a report on best treatments for concussion.
About the Office for Sport Concussion Research: R.J. Elbin directs the Office for Sport Concussion Research at the University of Arkansas. Its mission is to improve – through education, research and outreach initiatives – the standard of care for athletes with sport-related concussion.
About the University of Arkansas: The University of Arkansas provides an internationally competitive education for undergraduate and graduate students in more than 200 academic programs.

Large Methane Leaks Threaten Perception Of 'Clean' Natural Gas
By Leigh Paterson
A gas flare is seen at a natural gas processing facility near Williston, N.D. in 2015. A new study says the amount of methane leaking is more than government estimates.
A new study published in the journal Science finds that methane emissions from U.S. oil and gas operations are 60 percent higher than previous estimates from the federal government.
This comes at a time when U.S. is getting more and more of its power from natural gas; in 2017, 31.7 percent of U.S. electricity came from natural gas-fired generation, up from 27.3 percent in 2013. It's widely considered to be a cleaner fuel than coal, and natural gas does emit less carbon when it is burned for electricity. But this new, higher estimate of how much methane is leaking from natural gas production could change the whole equation.
Anthony Marchese has been focused on measuring this problem for years. He's a professor of mechanical engineering at Colorado State University and in 2013 and 2014, he and his team of researchers spent months on the road, driving around to over 100 oil and gas sites in 13 states.
"You'd pull up to one of these facilities in the morning. And we'd do a quick survey of the facility with our optical gas imaging, so this is a camera that can detect methane which is usually invisible," Marchese explains. "And we would see the facility and what we could call an 'abnormal operating state.' For example, you might see natural gas spewing out of one of the condensate tanks."
Marchese says his team observed these abnormal operating conditions on pieces of oil and gas equipment, like condensate tanks, at 20 percent of the facilities they visited during their five months of field work.
The nonprofit organization the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) put the new methane study together using Marchese's data as well as data from more than 100 other independent researchers. According to their analysis, these large, usually unplanned releases are a huge contributor to methane emissions overall. The EDF estimates that overall, the methane leak rate is around 2.3 percent of total yearly U.S. gas production. That might not sound like a lot, but according to the EDF, it's enough natural gas to power 10 million homes for an entire year.
"This paper shows that the emissions of methane from the oil and gas industry are a lot higher than what is currently estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency," Ramón Alvarez, one of the lead authors of the new study, says. "The fact is that the magnitude of emissions are so large that it has a material impact on the climate impact of natural gas as a fossil fuel."
Methane is the primary ingredient in natural gas. It's also a powerful greenhouse gas, so leaks during natural gas production contribute to climate change.
"Industry needs to increase its vigilance around finding both the run-of-the-mill leaks and the more dramatic high emissions from the abnormal conditions that are discussed in this paper," Alvarez says. "Over time, they need to determine what are the root causes that lead to these high emissions and find better systems."
But the energy industry is pushing back on these findings, questioning the methodology of the EDF study.
"Science is not one study and then it's all solved. It's the preponderance of evidence and there have been several studies which show much lower leakage rates," says Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, an oil and gas trade group based in Denver, Colo.
Moreover, she argues that Colorado producers have done a "great job" bringing down their methane emissions.
There is something to that. In 2014, Colorado become the first state to tackle the methane problem with regulations. Since then, the state says that the number of reported leaks has been steadily going down. Other states like California, New York and Pennsylvania also have plans to cut methane emissions. But at the federal level, the opposite is happening; the Trump administration is working to roll back two Obama-era rules meant to reduce methane emissions.

It's amazing to think of how far the brand -- which is the name of Sears' appliance line -- has come: the company's first appliance, a washer, didn't even appear in Sears' catalog when it was introduced in the 1920s. Today, nearly a third of American homes has at least one Kenmore appliance purchased from a Sears store.


Scientists compared the composition of the air in the street and in the kitchens of the most ordinary flats and came to unexpected results. Toxins found in the kitchen, even more than on the busiest highway.
The reason for this phenomenon is the human love of plastic windows, well insulated room from the noise and air infiltration from the street. Thus the kitchen - a room, which is the main polluter plate - is transformed into a non-ventilated gas chamber.
The researchers set up an experiment, which involved three dishes: one with an electric stove in a country mansion, the second with the gas in the apartment next to the transport route and the third also with a gas stove in the heart of the city. Experience has shown that the toxic substances in two more recent than in the very first. Nitrogen dioxide produced by gas stoves, has become a major air polluter of these apartments. His figure exceeded the norm almost 3 times. This, in turn, contributes to a disease of the respiratory tract.
In addition, the researchers point out that the use of the owners of cleaning products and air fresheners in such kitchens only exacerbates an already grim picture.

Major drug tunnel found on US-Mexico border in California
Associated Press / 08:59 AM October 23, 2015
This Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015 photo released by Mexico's Federal Police shows an underground tunnel that police say was built to smuggle drugs from Tijuana, Mexico to San Diego in the United States. Mexican federal police said the tunnel extends about 2,600 feet (800 meters) and is lit, ventilated, equipped with a rail car system, and lined with metal beams to prevent collapse. AP
SAN DIEGO — Authorities seized 12 tons of marijuana and arrested 22 people after discovering one of the longest cross-border tunnels ever dug between the US and Mexico, officials said Thursday.
The passage connecting warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, was about 2,400 feet (730 meters) long and 30 feet (9 meters) deep. It was lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system — hallmarks of the most sophisticated tunnels found along the border.
Near-simultaneous police stings on Wednesday resulted in six arrests in San Diego and 16 in Mexico. Authorities recovered two tons of marijuana in the US and 10 tons in Mexico.
US authorities said smugglers tried to move the first load of drugs through the tunnel on Wednesday but nothing got through undetected.
The sting came after an undercover agent for US Homeland Security Investigations agreed to provide the drug smugglers with drivers and the use of the San Diego warehouse in exchange for a $10,000 payment for each truckload of drugs that moved, according to a probable cause statement.
The discovery demonstrates the enduring appeal of tunnels to smugglers, despite the significant time and money required to build one. Dozens of tunnels have been found along the US-Mexico border in recent years, some equipped with hydraulic lifts and electric rail cars.
The San Diego-Tijuana region is popular because its clay-like soil is relatively easy to dig with shovels and pneumatic tools, and both sides of the border have warehouses that provide cover for trucks and heavy equipment.
It was unclear which drug trafficking organization orchestrated the latest passage but the region is largely controlled by Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, whose leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a maximum-security prison in Mexico in July through an elaborate tunnel.
Mexican federal police said in a press release that those arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking told authorities that they had ties to a criminal group that operates in the state of Jalisco — an apparent reference to the Jalisco New Generation cartel, which controls that part of western Mexico.
The Mexican suspects were caught off-guard when authorities arrived at the Tijuana warehouse with a search warrant, police said. No shots were fired.
The drugs found were wrapped in 873 packages covered with plastic and tape.

C.G.McKay's website 'Intelligence Past'
Craig McKay, author of 'From Information to Intrigue', 'Swedish Signal Intelligence' and contributor to journals such as Intelligence and National Security, Journal of Intelligence History and Cryptologia has started a new website dealing with intelligence history. He has already added several essays on interesting cases plus he has uncovered the identity of the mysterious Polish agent 594.
If you're interested in intelligence history you should check out his site Intelligence Past.
Q&A with Craig McKay:
Craig was kind enough to answer some of my questions.
1). How did you become interested in WWII intelligence history and what was the process that led to the publication of two books on the subject?
Part of the reason, I gave on my site, namely growing up at a time when the two great wars of the twentieth century were very much part of living memory. But why, you may still ask, study intelligence, rather than say the history of weapon development, another interesting and perhaps more important subject? I suppose the answer lies somewhere in our psyche. A clue might be the following anecdote. As an insufferable sixteen-year-old, I acquired the atrocious habit of writing down various observations in aphoristic form. One of them was: "But surely, in some sense, the perfect actor is still undiscovered." Anybody who says something like that, is more or less fated to become interested in the
world of secret intelligence! With regard to my books, these merely reflected my own location in Sweden. I was there, I was interested in the history of intelligence and discovered that apart from journalistic accounts, not much serious work had been done. My interest in SIGINT, cyphers and such things, however, had another origin. I had worked in the field of mathematical logic under Professor R.L.Goodstein. At that time, logic and the foundations of mathematics were peripheral subjects in the British mathematical curriculum. Computing was mainly still numerical analysis. I recall giving a lecture on Turing machines about 1964 when few professional mathematicians in Britain had heard of his work, far less took an active interest in the subject. It sounds quite extraordinary now but so it was. Of course, no one spoke about his war work. Turing was only one of the mathematical logicians involved in wartime cypher work. There were others such as Turing 's pupil Robin Gandy, Hasenjaeger in Germany, Quine and Rosser in the US.
2). Why did you decide to start the 'Intelligence Past' website and what are your goals for it?
My motivation was, I confess, entirely egotistical: to get my various bits and pieces on the history of secret intelligence out on the web rather than let them perish instantaneously with me. What other people do with them is entirely up to them. It would be nice when I am still around, if some braver souls were encouraged to post their own pieces on the site. Let's see what happens.
3). What areas of intelligence history do you find most interesting and what are you currently researching?
Because of my own history- virtually a lifetime in Sweden to which I remain greatly attached, I have tended to limit my own interests in two ways (i) geostrategically I focus on Northern Europe and (ii) thematically I am also very interested in the interaction between neutrality and intelligence. About the latter, I say a bit in the first few pages of my book 'From Information to Intrigue'. At the moment, I have been looking at old puzzles connected with Polish intelligence such as Major Choynacki`s wartime agent network. The Poles are most extraordinary people. Their troubled history, sandwiched between Germany and Russia, has made them masters of the dark conspiratorial arts. There are naturally many other things which I think about as diligent readers of my site will discover.
4). Which unsolved cases from WWII do you think researchers should try to investigate further?
There is no shortage of questions, that's for sure! Here's a few straight from the top of my head.
(1) Why were the Russian organs so concerned with Raoul Wallenberg? Lots has been written (some by me) but we are still in the dark.
(2) Why did the Soviet authorities expel the Swedish Minister and his Military Attache during the war? Was it mere tit-for-tat for Swedish action against Soviet espionage in Sweden? I would be interested to know if it was partly due to certain statements about these Swedish diplomats in Japanese diplomatic traffic that the Soviet Union is known to have read. The Swedish Minister (Assarsson) was a garrulous fellow who occasionally spoke to his Japanese colleague about the war situation.
(3) How far was the Abwehr involved in the Hess flight to Scotland? I have written a short paper on this but so far without being able to interest anyone else to investigate further.
(4) The MAX network in the Balkans: how one longs for a detailed Russian account of this case by a Russian historian using their own archives. Were Kauders, Hatz and Enomoto all long term Soviet assets? Did Nahum Eitington make a special journey for a conspiratorial treff with Enomoto and Kauders in Greece in October 1940?
(5) How closely did German intelligence follow the telegram traffic of the Jewish Agency during the war?
(6) Who was the spy NERO in Spain/Portugal reporting on the UK and run by the Hungarians in the last year of the war? His name crops up in Schellenberg and Höttl testimonies.
(7) Why is there not more about the use made of COMINT in Economic Warfare during the war?
(8) What was the greatest triumph of Soviet wartime SIGINT?
A last comment: never forget that in any significant spy case there will always be loose ends. Paradoxically that is both a limitation and an opportunity.
