White farmers fear for their lives in South Africa
Party leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Julius Malema's aggressive rhetoric has the potential to incite more violence against white farmers in South Africa.
A record 400 white farmers were killed in South Africa last year, and with new President Cyril Ramaphosa supporting the expropriation of land "taken under colonialism and apartheid", the worst could still be to come.
Under the proposed constitutional amendment, the 35,000 white farmers remaining (down from 60,000 in 1997) could have their farms seized and without any compensation.
It was put forward by the EFF party, whose leader Julius Malema said to parliament: "We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land."

The motion was passed overwhelmingly 241 votes to 83 votes against, and Ramaphosa has declared his intention to speed up the transfer of land from the white minority.
When he was rallying for the removal of the mayor of Port Elizabeth Athol Trollip because he is a "white man", Malema added, "We are cutting the throat of whiteness".
The pedalling of this aggressive anti-white sentiment, is likely to give further impetus to the thugs that are torturing, and in many cases killing farmers, with very little fear of being brought to justice.
According to white nationalist body AfriForum, it already has.
Last week, the group which monitors and aims to prevent attacks, sent a formal request to police chief General Bheki Cele to discuss a noticeable spike in farm invasions.
"Irresponsible political remarks increase the level of uncertainty and cause further feelings of threat for legal land owners. We want to meet with Cele to talk about what the police will do to maintain law and order in communities where property right is increasingly coming under pressure," said Ian Cameron, Head of Community Safety at AfriForum.
"Political remarks that increasingly portray legal land owners as the enemy or even land thieves create a climate for an increase in farm attacks. In January 2018 there have already been double the amount of farm attacks than in January 2017."

Australian News Corp reporter Paul Toohey travelled to South Africa to speak with victims of the escalating violence.
Rikkie Alsemgeest (67) was digitally raped and burned with a household iron, and her husband Piet (86) is still in ICU having been brutally beaten with an iron bar. The four black men who broke into their house on a Kimberley beef farm made off with the contents of their safe.
Berdus Henrico (39), who runs a game park in Limpopo province, was shot three times less than a month ago, and says "this is normal".
"They want money and they want guns," Henrico said. And political motive? "Yes. They want the people off the land so as they can go on like they want to. They want it here like it was in Zimbabwe a few years ago when they chased all the whites out and let it go to the ground."
Petitions are being circulated online to demand refuge for these white farmers.
When I was just a little girl I had told my Pa "I want to live on a farm", because I believed that living on a farm is care-free, simple, peaceful. But I'm all grown up now and being a farmer in #SouthAfrica is more then twice as dangerous then being a US soldier in Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/wpQ7OQJlUk

A Change.org petition addressed to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, UK PM Theresa May and German chancellor Angela Merkel, is demanding Europe allow migration of those under threat because they face "ethnic cleansing and persecutions at the hands of the ANC government, the EFF, and various groups that seek their liquidation and to appropriate their property".
There is another directed at US President Donald Trump, and between the two, there are already more than 40,000 signatures in support.
Zimbabwe comparisons
As well as the white farmers, the South African economy is under threat too.
Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe presided over the 'agrarian reform' in 2000, which transferred 4,000 white-controlled farms over to the black community.
Many of the replacement farmers were inexperienced or lacked resources, and the economy that relied so heavily on its agriculture collapsed.
Unemployment peaked at 90%, and the bad policy was estimated to have cost the nation $20 billion.
The same thing could happen in South Africa, if it doesn't learn from the lessons of its northern neighbour.
Only now, is Zimbabwe getting back on its feet, and the government has even begun compensating the white farmers it displaced, as President Emmerson Mnangagwa attempts to restore the faith of international investors.

Geek of the Week: Amazon Robotics' Beth Marcus helps machines and humans work better together
by Kurt Schlosser on June 23, 2017 at 12:40 pm June 23, 2017 at 12:40 pm
Geek of the Week profiles the characters of Pacific Northwest tech, science, games, innovation, and more. Be a Geek of the Week! Fill out our questionnaire to be considered.

After founding and leading several successful startups, Beth Marcus took a job with Amazon because it afforded a greater chance to have a huge impact fast. As a senior principal technologist at Amazon Robotics, Marcus is seeing her intentions realized in the form of innovation at the tech giant's fulfillment centers.
Marcus holds a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where she also served as a faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering department, helping teach the senior mechanical engineering capstone project class. She received a Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the Imperial College in London, where she was a Marshall Scholar and is currently serving as a mentor to the Enterprise Laboratory.
She's also GeekWire's latest Geek of the Week.
Her startup background included a mobile device peripherals company, a children's app technology company and, most notably, EXOS, Inc., creator of the SideWinder force-feedback joystick, which was venture backed and sold to a multinational technology company in 1996. Marcus said she has helped guide more than 30 startups in a variety of fields as a founder, investor, or advisor and she's an acknowledged expert in the hand-device interface space and a leader in the field of virtual reality.
It's clear what Marcus brought to Amazon Robotics, but what made her want to join the company?
It's exciting to see robots helping our full-time employees at our fulfillment centers and fueling superfast delivery on behalf of customers.
"What attracted me was the great group of people with diverse technical backgrounds, the difficulty of the problems they were solving, the willingness to try things and fail fast like a startup, and the impact of the solutions once developed on the Amazon Fulfillment facilities worldwide.," Marcus said. "Saying it differently, being creative and entrepreneurial at Amazon allows for the ability to have a huge impact fast without the constraints normally experienced in a startup."
Despite the fact that Marcus' work focuses on robotic automation, she appreciates the fact that her work allows her to continue to understand that humans are uniquely capable and adaptive.
"As an industry, our job is to identify tasks that can be automated and look for ways humans and robots can work together to gain a better result," Marcus said. "At Amazon, it's exciting to see robots helping our full-time employees at our fulfillment centers and fueling superfast delivery on behalf of customers."
Learn more about this week's Geek of the Week, Beth Marcus:
What do you do, and why do you do it? "I am a senior principal at Amazon Robotics where I'm working with some of the smartest people in the industry to solve the hardest problems in robotics. I love working on challenges that will have a significant impact and seeing my solutions in action in the real world almost immediately at Amazon fulfillment centers. I especially love mentoring young engineers and women to innovate and create the future."
What's the single most important thing people should know about your field? "We are on the precipice of huge advances in the field of robotics with the potential for new technology to become more deeply integrated into our every day lives. Contrary to what some may say, robotics simply make tasks more efficient and allow people to shift their focus to more sophisticated activities. It's exciting to see the pace of innovation and the potential that exists in robotics."
Where do you find your inspiration? "I find personal inspiration from nature, poetry and people I admire like Maya Angelou and my coworkers."
What's the one piece of technology you couldn't live without, and why? "My cell phone! Text messaging is the primary method of communication and connection I have with my teenage daughter."

What's your workspace like, and why does it work for you? "I have several workspaces, both at the office and in my home. My favorite workspace is my home office where I frequently work remotely. It has two large windows overlooking the nearby conservation area and I'm able to watch animals like geese, deer, coyotes, foxes and woodchucks passby. Those scenes bring me clarity. It also has a wall of books and no door so I am always connected to my family. At Amazon Robotics I am across from one of our many coffee stations, which I love because it makes it easy to socialize with my coworkers throughout the day. We love laughing, telling stories and sharing ideas."
Your best tip or trick for managing everyday work and life. (Help us out, we need it.) "Family and health first and then try to do fun things like cooking classes, Djembe drumming circles and painting whenever possible to offer balance. Regularly take a day to do nothing or next to nothing: read, talk to friends or invite your neighbor for tea (my neighbors are lovely people!). When you feel stuck and unproductive, be social! It may rejuvenate you, but if it doesn't, go home and hug your family, dog or a friend, and start again when you feel refreshed. When you've achieved something, stop to pat yourself and those around you on the back. Don't take any of life's ups and downs personally.
Mac, Windows or Linux? "Mac."
Kirk, Picard, or Janeway? "In general I prefer the strong woman leader, however my favorite 'Star Trek' character is Geordi La Forge — I love the concept of the visor."
Transporter, Time Machine or Cloak of Invisibility? "It's a tie between all three: Transporter because I'd be able to visit friends around the world more easily or see the top of Kilamanjaro, polar ice caps and many other things without the difficulty of getting there. Time machine because I'd like to redo some of my less-than-shining moments and appreciate my mother more while she was alive. Cloak of Invisibility because I could play pranks without getting caught."
If someone gave me $1 million to launch a startup, I would … "Not start another company myself! I've launched five startups and I know how hard they are, so I'd probably put half in medium aggressive traditional investments and take the other half and invest in five startups and help them succeed without being in the hot seat myself."
I once waited in line for … "Many years ago I was in Japan on the Emperor's birthday, the only day of the year that the general public is allowed into the palace. I stood with a friend in a huge line as people were slowly let in. When it was almost time to close the gates to the palace everyone stayed in line and jogged into the Palace grounds. I was amazed that the scenario resulted in anything other than chaos!"
Your role models: "When I was younger I wanted to be many things — successful, generous, impactful, cool and funny. Now I'd settle for having as much energy as some of my mentors in the industry!"
Greatest game in history: "Historical events like the first Tour de France are my favorite 'games' when it comes to athletic competition. Today, 'Pokemon Go' has my devotion."
Best gadget ever: "iPhone."
First computer: "Compaq luggable. It was so heavy!"
Current phone: "iPhone 7 Plus."
Favorite app: "For fun it's Prism, favorite game is 'Pokeman Go,' and Audible for listening to books on tape every night."
Favorite cause: "Broadly I support anything that helps animals and education. On a personal level, I'm passionate about supporting the Alzheimer's Association as my mother passed away from this disease."
Most important technology of 2016: "Amazon Echo Show!"
Most important technology of 2018: "Stay tuned, I'm still working on it! (Just kidding)"
Final words of advice for your fellow geeks: "Don't take yourself too seriously. Always be open to collaboration as the result will likely be better, you'll find and work through failures faster, and you'll have an opportunity to mentor or be mentored. And, allow yourself to think big, experiment, simplify and fail quickly to iterate upon a successful solution."

Electricity subsidies for first 300 KWh likely to remain

Job losses feared at PPC as a result of carbon's diminishing role
The anticipated withdrawal of main power utility PPC carbon-fired units from the country's energy mix over the next few years, needed as part of the EU effort to meet CO2 emission reduction targets, is expected to not only diminish the utility's production capacity and number of clients, but the size of its workforce as well.
The fear of job losses is being widely felt across the corporation, from PPC's workers at the utility mines to management.
Though the subject of PPC's looming job losses is being avoided at an official level, it has become commonly known within the utility's ranks that the withdrawal of a capacity totalling 1,800 MW – 1,200 MW at Kardia and 600 MW at Amynteo, both in northern Greece – will make redundant the staff members associated with these operations.
In two years from now, the total capacity of PPC's coal-fired facilities will have contracted to 2,200 MW from 4,000 MW at present.
PPC's workforce will be oversized even if Greece manages to keep the carbon-fired proportion of the country's energy mix at a level of 25 percent, experts have already pointed out.
However, it should also be noted that mining specific coal amounts these days requires more work than in the past as all high-density carbon deposits have been extracted from the exisiting mines. Workers now need to process greater amounts of earth, measuring between 5 and 7 cubic meters, on average, in order to extract one ton of coal, compared to 3 cubic meters in previous years.
A considerable number of PPC workers are approaching retirement age, which should help the utility's downsize effort. PPC has already offered 15,000-eupo bonus packages to some 200 staff members who have qualified for retirement but opted to carry on working.
PPC's prospective downsize could serve as a model for other state-controlled companies and utilities.


One song from this movie has been discussed in the past.
Here is the second song from "Actress"(1934) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by an unknown male voice. Pt Anuj is the lyricist. Music is composed by Lallubai Nayak.
Only the audio of this song is available so it is difficult to say how and on whom this song was picturised. It appears to me from the lyrics that this was one of the first teasing songs in Hindi movies. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.

A feasible solution for providing the island countries with power capabilities at inexpensive costs as compared to laying the subsea cables for connecting these islands to the mainland grid is a floating power plant. Provisioning electricity to the remote islands has been a challenging as well as an expensive task in the earlier times, however with the emergence of floating power plants, it has become easy and rather lesser expensive. These power plants can be mounted on vessels on the marine lines, or on the off-shore vessels such as ships, barges, or any other mobile off-shore unit. Harnessing the potentials of the renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydro, and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is one of the main advantages of these plants and would be observed in the coming few years ahead.
The increasing demands for electricity in the island countries are driving the adoptions of these systems. However, complexities and environmental concerns involved with the usage of floating nuclear power plants is expected to hinder the growth of the floating power plant market in coming years.

Annabelle Comes Home – review
There's no shortage of ghouls in The Conjuring universe and if Annabelle Comes Home is any indication, there's no shortage of fog machines either. The seventh instalment in the overall extended universe (the fifth chronologically), Annabelle Comes Home is drenched with atmosphere and is, perhaps, the most ghastly chapter to date.
With Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga returning as the Warrens, the film might as well serve as The Conjuring 3. It's a strange and twisted franchise that has woven its way into modern cinema for better or worse, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Taking place between The Conjuring and The Curse of The Weeping Woman, the story depicts how the infamous doll came into the Warrens' possession, and focuses on their young daughter Judy (McKenna Grace), whose night with her babysitter turns into a nightmare when the sitter's best friend arrives and releases Annabelle from her glass cabinet.
The opening scene is wonderful, with Lorraine (Farmiga) and Ed (Wilson) breaking down beside a cemetery on a cold and dreary night. With the evil doll perched upright in the backseat, their car is draped with fog as the dead begin to surround them. The film's tone is well and truly established and a bold crimson text scroll reminds us of the real characters who inspired the whole saga. From this moment on, Annabelle Comes Home adheres to a stock-standard 'haunted house' formula, presented across three very distinct acts.
The leisurely first act reacquaints us with the family and establishes their seemingly normal home life. Judy is a smart but shy girl who endures daily torment from bullies at school, and we are reminded of the evil contained within their house. The second introduces the sitter's friend as well as a potential love interest, and the release of Annabelle. The rest of this middle-section is comprised of eerie tropes and spooky clichés.
With very little payoff to the suspense, the film begins to shows signs of fatigue before the final act swoops into action, switching gears and upping the ante with the kind of horror show one would expect from a Goosebumps tale, because every evil trinket in the house was touched by the nosey teens and their night is haunted by an assortment of spooks.
Where all previous Conjuring films have featured traditional ghosts, like The Nun and the Weeping Woman, Annabelle Comes Home delivers monsters aplenty, as though paying homage to The Monster Squad and Thirteen Ghosts. From murderous brides and samurai warriors, to werewolves and hideous centaurs, the finale of the film is a thrill-a-minute freak show full of delicious goodies to compensate for the lacklustre build-up.
Regular Conjuring universe screenwriter Gary Dauberman makes a confident directorial debut here, having nurtured the franchise from birth. His use of sound stage exteriors and confined spaces drive the film's atmosphere, giving it a far greater richness of texture than preceding chapters. His ghosts, while not particularly scary, are a lot of fun and his enthusiasm for the genre is evident.
Farmiga and Wilson's return brings gravity to the story and restores whatever credibility was lost during the previous two spin-off films. Their characters bookend the movie nicely, leaving room for the newcomers to lead the way throughout the lengthy middle act. The young cast meets the challenge and has a clear understanding of the themes and nuances that go into making a decent horror movie.
Long serving fans will either rejoice at the return to form, or feel challenged by the new ensemble of mythical beasts, and while Annabelle Comes Home doesn't quite reach the heights of the original Conjuring film (or its sequel), it remains a worthy addition and a high concept spectacle.

Q: Regex: Last Occurrence of a Repeating Character So, I am looking for a Regex that is able to match with every maximal non-empty substring of consonants followed by a maximal non-empty substring of vowels in a String
e.g. In the following strings, you can see all expected matches:
"zcdbadaerfe" = {"zcdba", "dae", "rfe"}

"foubsyudba" = {"fou", "bsyu", "dba"}

I am very close! This is the regex I have managed to come up with so far:
([^aeiou].*?[aeiou])+

It returns the expected matches except for it only returns the first of any repeating lengths of vowels, for example:
String: "cccaaabbee"

Expected Matches: {"cccaaa", "bbee"}

Actual Matches: {"ccca", "bbe"}

I want to figure out how I can include the last found vowel character that comes before (a) a constant or (b) the end of the string.
Thanks! :-)

A: Your pattern is slightly off.  I suggest using this version:
[b-df-hj-np-tv-z]+[aeiou]+

This pattern says to match:

*

*[b-df-hj-np-tv-z]+ a lowercase non vowel, one or more times

*[aeiou]+ followed by a lowercase vowel, one or more times

Here is a working demo.

A: const rgx = /[^aeiou]+[aeiou]+(?=[^aeiou])|.*[aeiou](?=\b)/g;

Segment
Description

[^aeiou]+
one or more of anything BUT vowels

[aeiou]+
one or more vowels

(?=[^aeiou])
will be a match if it is followed by anything BUT a vowel

|
OR

.*[aeiou](?=\b)
zero or more of any character followed by a vowel and it needs to be followed by a non-word

function lastVowel(str) {
  const rgx = /[^aeiou]+[aeiou]+(?=[^aeiou])|.*[aeiou](?=\b)/g;
  return [...str.matchAll(rgx)].flat();
}

const str1 = "cccaaabbee";
const str2 = "zcdbadaerfe";
const str3 = "foubsyudba";

console.log(lastVowel(str1));
console.log(lastVowel(str2));
console.log(lastVowel(str3));

#MeToo. #TimesUp. The world over, women have been standing up and sharing their stories of abuse at the hands of powerful men. It isn't the first time women have risen up but there is a difference this time. These women's voices are being heard and amplified by thousands of others through social media and the accused men are being taken to task. But, let's not celebrate yet. We still have a fight on our hands.
Clementine Ford's Fight Like A Girl is aptly named. For centuries, being anything "like a girl" was considered an insult. It has taken years of hard work, from the suffragette movement to the early feminists, to now, for humanity to come even close to reclaiming the word "girl." Why is that? And how exactly does one fight like a "girl"?
By sharing moments from her own life, Ford illustrates how and why women—and this definitely includes transwomen and non-binary people—have been oppressed. "Girls are raised to believe that the most important thing we can be is pretty," writes Ford. The placing of such unrealistic expectations on young girls isn't hammered in so much as "kneaded into the fabric of our identities." And, if women can't be patriarchy's narrow view of "pretty," they are diminished and erased, no matter their other outstanding qualities.
It is because of this retribution that so many women are afraid to call themselves feminists, even though, as Ford writes, feminism changed her negative attitude towards herself. "It taught me that my thoughts and feelings were real" [emphasis Ford's]. But, feminists are often labelled "fat" and "ugly," and no woman wants to be that because the patriarchy would deem them unworthy of male attention, and that's all that counts, right?
Ford dips into her experiences with these exact terms, laying out in painful detail how the fear of being fat led to a debilitating eating disorder, which continues to affect girls and women around the world. She writes about how her struggle with her "unconventional" features led to her difficult relationships with fellow women who she believed she needed to envy and bring down. If Ford would have had the knowledge she has now, she would have known how to fight these unfounded fears.
As Ford writes, being a girl in this world hurts, and feminism is here to help girls exist without hurting. Ford's Fight Like A Girl tells us how to do that. The experiences she lays out in this book will hit close to home and make you angry, so I suggest taking a few breaks between chapters to calm yourself. Fortunately, Ford also has a balm for the ache of rage you will feel. Unlike books that simply detail the various forms of oppression and abuse that women face, Ford gives the reader solutions. This is the kind of book that will inform and educate you, but it will also arm you with the tools to avenge yourself and others who are marginalised. Is society making you hate your body? Find something your body does well and keep doing that. Trolls sending you hateful messages? Share it with the world and laugh at their pettiness.
Where Ford really turns the screw is in her discussion about abortion. She spends a few chapters of the book sharing her experience with abortion and examining the importance of safe abortion access for women. However, Ford does make it a point not to share the reasons behind having an abortion, insisting that it doesn't matter to anyone but the woman involved why she chose to have an abortion. Her words couldn't be more timely. In late July, Cricket Australia fired a woman for tweeting about having an abortion. These conversations need to be had right now.
What I liked about Ford's writing is that she is ready to question herself as well as others. She clearly acknowledges her white-passing and straight-passing privilege, and that she is striving to learn more and better understand how to elevate those even more marginalised than herself. Too many white feminists have excluded women of colour and transwomen in their conversations and compound the issue by refusing to be questioned about their exclusionary role in the movement.
One can't help but wish that they had had access to this book as teenagers, because it prepares you to tackle the world we live in now. Everyone, regardless of their gender, would benefit from reading Fight Like A Girl. For women and girls, the experiences contained in these pages will seem familiar, but the methods to deal with them will be new. For men and boys, this book will act as an eye-opener, not just because of what Ford has written but how she has written it. By incorporating the language used against her, often several times in succession, she successfully hammers home just how constant the barrage of abuse against women is.
But what really makes Fight Like A Girl a great book to read is that it is so accessible. Ford's tone of voice is conversational, and she directs the book to you, the reader. Despite the one-sided nature of books, it often feels like Ford isn't as much talking at you, as with you. It is what makes this book a page-turner, even though the horrors within will make you shrivel up inside.
Fight Like A Girl is not a diatribe but a declaration. Ford isn't simply outlining the wrongs in the world and the men that compound it; she is declaring that these wrongs can and will be righted. The marginalised have been told to keep quiet, to let things slide, to let the people in power fix the problems. Ford is having none of it. She believes that to change the world the marginalised need to speak louder, push harder, be selfish, do what they tell you not to do because that is how you win like a girl.

What challenges do they face? Building a healthy and engaged learning community begins with sharing what you are up to. This time it's Martijn Ridderbos's turn.
At present, we have around 7,000 students and 21 programmes in The Hague. We want to expand this to around 10,000 students and to develop several new bachelor's and master's programmes for Campus The Hague on themes that fit The Hague and where we can see gaps in our offering. That calls for extra space. We are choosing to fill this space in a way that ties in with our vision for the future, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary research and teaching.
The Spui building
The Spui building is a fantastic new location because it will not only help us achieve the University's growth ambitions but also provide space for various partners. It is a beautiful building and a place that will facilitate cross-pollination between different disciplines. This could be between researchers and students from different faculties and universities but also with directors and professionals from, for example, the municipality, ministries and health care organisations.
While we were signing the contract, I could already feel the buzz of energy from all the partners. The Spui building will work as a magnet for all sorts of fruitful collaborations. We want to see how we can learn from and enhance one another. The Open University will use this location, for example, and when it comes to 'lifelong learning' we stand to learn a lot from them. Universities of the Netherlands will also have a presence in the building. And we are talking to Delft University of Technology, the LUMC and the University of Edinburgh about the possibility of space there too.
Open connection with the city
With our real estate development, we are increasingly opting for an open connection with the city. The Spui building should be welcoming and accessible, not just for students. In The Hague we are building a campus that does not necessarily house one faculty or institute but is for the whole university and city. The new developments will strengthen our long-term relationship with the city and municipality – something we are very pleased with.
You can clearly see the connection with the residents of The Hague in the 'Children of the City' project. Here our students and researchers are helping children with a language delay by offering them rich language and thus increasing their vocabulary and educational opportunities. Our Health Campus will also help the city's residents with their health and vitality. The big questions that The Hague faces, such as housing, migration and affordable health care, can only be solved by linking disciplines and ensuring they work together. And the Spui building is the ideal place for that.

I bought a mattress off craigslist for an unoccupied room in my house. I didn't realize it had an odor until it was too late. I don't know if it was urine or cigarette smoke or both, but it was pretty gross. So I called a carpet cleaning company to clean up the mattress and see if I could get rid of the smell. After cleaning it I left it in the room for a few days, but the smell only got worse and permeated the room. After having it cleaned one more time to no avail I threw the mattress away.
Now it has been about a week and even though the stinky mattress is gone the smell has not left the room! The room was recently repainted and the wood floors were refinished about a month and a half prior to this mattress ordeal. The room is also empty, there is only one other twin bed that does not stink and a night stand.
I am at my wits end and willing to do whatever it takes to get this smell out of the room ASAP. The smell is a biological kind of bacteria like smell. It is a dirty human smell of that helps. I'm thinking the child of the person who sold me the old mattress urinated on it and tried to cover it up. Also I called the guy who sold me the mattress and found out he also smoked inside his house....awesome.
and as far as vinegar, just leave an open dish of white vinegar or two (make sure that it cannot fall over!) for a day or so. This should help dissipate the odour.
As far as the pee smell, you could try enzymatic cleaners, though am not sure on what surface you would do this.
These cleaners use enzymes to break up the organic matter that causes the smell. "They work quickly by bio-degrading the stain, grease, oil, dirt, grime, vomit, urine, blood, coffee or food into its basic carbon, hydrogen or oxygen element, eliminating the problem. "
You also really need to air out the room, if you haven't alreadh.
these ionizers help to neutralize the smell chemically. I lived in a house where one wasused to neutralize a musty humidity smell in an old house in the South. Worked well.
Use Nok-Out. It sould work.


Second amendment right is an issue that walks hand in hand with the GOP. In fact, while there are many areas within the party where voters find a disagreement, this is one that is almost unanimously the same. The promise to uphold the second amendment is necessary to every GOP lawmaker seeking public office, and an endorsement from the NRA is the stamp of approval a candidate needs to move forward with their race.
So, given the wake of the police shootings, the Republican National Convention is in a tough situation. Do they suspend people in the convention area their right to carry a concealed firearm? The head of the Cleveland Police Union has called on the Ohio government to do this, in the wake of the increased police shootings this past week, and the expected protests against Donald Trump as the Republican nominee.
But this brings up a very interesting point, and a point for the RNC on a whole. After many shootings, Republican lawmakers will advocate that if there was someone there who had a concealed weapon, they could have fought back. After the Orlando mass shooting, Donald Trump himself said if employees at the club had weapons, they could have fought back.
So this will put politicians and GOP members in a difficult situation this week. As they do not want there to be increased threats of violence following police shootings in Dallas and now today, in Baton Rouge, they will want to eliminate threats. By legally allowing people to carry concealed weapons around the RNC, this potential threats increase substantially. But at the same time, if the Republicans believe those with concealed weapons can fight back those creating chaos, then this will be the perfect chance to stand by what they believe in.


Ennio Morricone is my go-to which you can hear in my soundtrack to the short silent horror movie Tres Brujas. The power, melodrama and vast spatial soundscapes remind me of the desert I grew up in. I love the power of the juxtaposition of the pairing of audio/visual. Shots can take on completely different significance by changing the sounds beneath them. Happy scenes of familial bliss become harbingers of doom, ultra-violence becomes transcendent.

Crips and Gangster Disciples In Columbia: 14 Arrested After FBI Gang Violence Investigation in SC
Mandy Matney
More than 200 law enforcement officers from local, federal, and state agencies arrested 14 alleged gang associates from the Midlands to conclude a nearly two-year investigation.
United States Attorney for South Carolina Peter McCoy, Jr. announced the arrests Tuesday after the defendants were charged in federal court. The arrests conclude a nearly two-year investigation into the Crips and Gangster Disciples' activities and gang-related violence across Lexington, Kershaw, and Richland counties including murders, shootings, robberies, carjackings, and drug trafficking operations.
Beginning in July, 2018, the FBI Columbia Violent Gang Task Force (CVGTF) started investigating an uptick in gang-related violence in the Midlands, according to a press release from McCoy's office.
According to court records, the Rollin 60s Crips are a "set" connected to the Crips with roughly 6,000 to 8,000 members. CVGTF agents believe there are about 100 Rollin 60s Crips in the Columbia area.
"In some specific neighborhoods around Columbia, law enforcement officers have observed known Rollin 60s Crips occasionally merging their criminal operations with other violent gangs such as Gangster Disciples (GDs) in order to increase profit and influence in those areas," the criminal complaint states.
The mixing of gangs has caused several violent incidents in the Columbia, South Carolina area according to court records.
Investigators from the FBI task force partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Richland County Sheriff's Department in 2018. The agents started developing on-the ground sources to identify key members in the gangs through surveillance and interviews.
Authorities identified two alleged Crips members Maurice Leach and Anthony Britt, who were "distributing kilogram quantities of cocaine" and running trap houses, according to the criminal complaint.
Investigators then found other players in the drug trafficking scheme including Reginald Furgess and Christopher Melton, who were either in the Crips or Gangster Disciples, according to court documents.
In April 2019, investigators began conducting controlled phone calls and drug purchases of cocaine and crack in a sting operation. They conducted a series of purchases, according to court documents.
In July 2019, agents began tapping into several phone calls between the alleged gang members with a court order.
Finally, by Tuesday morning, agents made 14 arrests without incident to conclude the investigation, according to the press release.
"The criminal complaint in this case speaks for itself," McCoy said in the press release. "However, in these trying times, it is critical that the people of South Carolina know that this office and our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners are here to help keep them safe and prosecute those who put that safety at risk."
Here is the list of arrest and charges, according to McCoy's Office:
"ELSON DURAN ESCOBAR, a/k/a "Macho," 37, was attributed five kilograms or more of cocaine in the conspiracy;
MAURICE ANTWAIN LEACH, a/k/a "Blue," 33, was attributed five kilograms or more of cocaine, 280 grams or more of crack cocaine, and a quantity of oxycodone in the conspiracy;
ANTHONY CHARLES BRITT, a/k/a "Mallet" a/k/a "Amp" a/k/a "King Coke," 31, was attributed five kilograms or more of cocaine in the conspiracy;
JAMES MORRIS, a/k/a "Dollar," 34, was attributed 500 grams or more of cocaine and a quantity of oxycodone in the conspiracy;
CHRISTOPHER DAQUAN MELTON, a/k/a "Gunner," 27, was attributed five kilograms or more of cocaine and a quantity of oxycodone in the conspiracy;
DEVONTE JABAR SIMON, a/k/a "Ammo," 27, was attributed five kilograms or more of cocaine in the conspiracy;
DAVID LANARD BALLARD, a/k/a "Dave," 37, was attributed 280 grams or more of crack cocaine in the conspiracy;
ASHLEY BRYON FISHER, a/k/a "Ponchie," 38, was attributed 280 grams or more of crack cocaine in the conspiracy;
TOMMY NOVACK LLOYD, a/k/a "T-Lloyd," 42, was attributed 500 grams or more of cocaine in the conspiracy;
ERIC TRAVAS COWAN, 60, was attributed 500 grams or more of cocaine in the conspiracy;
REGINALD KEITH FURGESS, a/k/a "Reggie" a/k/a "Fat Boy," 61, was attributed 28 grams or more of crack cocaine and a quantity of cocaine in the conspiracy;
TRINETTE L. MELTON, a/k/a "Ma" a/k/a "Auntie," 45, was attributed a quantity of cocaine in the conspiracy;
JAMEEL DARU ANDERSON, a/k/a "Who-Bang," 32, was attributed a quantity of heroin, a quantity of cocaine, a quantity of fentanyl, and a quantity of oxycodone in the conspiracy; and
JANIE ROBINSON, a/k/a "J," 36, was attributed a quantity of oxycodone in the conspiracy."
"Today's arrests demonstrate that even in the midst of a pandemic, the FBI and its task forces will continue to find and arrest drug traffickers who work against the people of South Carolina," said Jody Norris, special agent in charge of the FBI, said in Tuesday's release. "I thank our federal, state, and local partners for their steadfast dedication to the communities we all protect."
The release said "the case was investigated by the FBI, DEA, SLED, Richland County Sheriff's Department, Columbia Police Department, Lexington County Sheriff's Department, and Kershaw County Sheriff's Office."
It will be prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods, which is a program to reduce crime through the Department of Justice.

For Montanans who live far away from services, there are few options for receiving support for mental illness without traveling long distances. Since 2009, Mental Health America of Montana has created a "Virtual Drop-in Center," which utilizes the telephone and internet to provide home-based support services for people with mental illness.
The Recovery Line is NOT a crisis line. However, responders of the Recovery Line can refer people who are considering suicide or are otherwise in crisis to appropriate services. Through three-way calling, they can get emergency or crisis services on the call immediately.

Most project timelines show all seven days in a week, which makes them misleading because no work is taking place over the weekend. OnePager helps you build a more accurate project timeline by shading or completely hiding weekends so that it's clear when work is being done and when it isn't.
OnePager lets you take any Microsoft Project or Excel project plan and create a timeline that focuses only on weekdays, so that it doesn't look like work is taking place over the weekend. This feature is available in version 6.1, beginning in late 2018.
Don't have OnePager yet? You can download a 15-day free trial to check it out.

Each day of the week can have its own color. To make weekends stand out as non-working, change the colors for Saturday and Sunday to gray, or something else of your choosing.
This article discussed how to create a project plan that focuses on workdays by either shading or eliminating weekends from the timeline.


Those who inject drugs are at risk for Hepatitis A and C, HIV, among other infectious diseases. To help prevent these diseases from spreading, syringe exchange services are increasing in our communities. We toured The Exchange Project in Hamilton County to learn more about the process.
When clients arrive at The Exchange Project's mobile unit, they receive a card and an identification number — no personal information is given.
Clients can exchange anywhere from one to 100 syringes on a one-to-one basis. So, if someone brings 34 used syringes, they will receive 34 new ones in exchange.
After the used syringes are counted and placed in a safe sharps container, clients can choose between long and short needles for their exchange.
Guests can also receive Naloxone (NARCAN) and a demonstration from an Exchange Project staff member on how to administer NARCAN on someone who has overdosed.
Condoms, alcohol wipes and other safety products are also available for guests. Nurses on board provide Hepatitis testing for free, and if a client is seeking treatment, they are referred to a local facility.
Throughout the van, illustrations hang on the walls to educate guests on safer injection. The Exchange Project also offers business cards, brochures and pamphlets for local treatment facilities.
For more information or to download a copy of The Exchange Project's schedule, visit exchangeproject@hamilton-co.org or call (513) 316-7725.

100-mile run with 33,050 feet of climb and 33,050 feet of descent for a total elevation change of 66,100 feet with an average elevation of 11,186 feet - low point 7,680 feet (Ouray) and high point 14,048 feet (Handies Peak).
The run starts and ends in Silverton, Colorado and travels through the towns of Telluride, Ouray, and the ghost town of Sherman, crossing thirteen major passes in the 12,000' to 13,000' range. Entrants must travel above 12,000 feet (3,700 m) of elevation a total of 13 times, with the highest point on the course being the 14,048' summit of Handies Peak. The race has been held in early July of each year beginning in 1992, except for 1995 (too much snow) and 2002 (nearby forest fires). Each year's race is run in the opposite direction of the previous year's event. In order to complete the event, instead of crossing a finish line, runners are required to "kiss the Hardrock", a picture of a ram's head painted on a large block of stone mining debris.
This course offers a graduate level challenge for endurance runs. The course is designed to provide extreme challenges in altitude, steepness, and remoteness. Mountaineering, wilderness survival and wilderness navigation skills are as important in this event as your endurance.

Is Your Kid Being Bullied? Know When to Step In, or Step Back.
I will never forget the first time my daughter got into a spat with one of her friends. I called my sister upset because, of course, my precious girl could have done nothing wrong, and the other girl was being so – well, mean.
My sister has a daughter older than mine and reassured me that I was justified in my feelings, but stopped me from making a big mistake – calling the other parent.
I argued, "But I feel like this mom needs to know that her daughter was being mean." I mean, I'd want to know right?
But, my sister reminded me of one very important lesson. That so many of these spats that kids have with their friends are part of a bigger learning experience they need.
And, if I'm always stepping in, they will never learn to fight their own battles.
I remember thinking, fight her own battles? But, she's a baby! She wasn't. She was an eight year old.
I trusted my sister, though and so I took her advice. I didn't call the other mom. Instead, I spent a lot of time coaching my own daughter. In doing that, I got a clearer picture of what my own child had done wrong in the situation. And, I realized it would have been silly to call the other parent over something that my daughter (and her friend) was over in a couple of days.
Since that time, I've tried to stay out of the battles that my kids have to fight. I feel like there are so many lessons that they will learn if they can fight their own battles.
They will learn to stand up for themselves.
They will learn conflict resolution.
They will learn what good friends look like, and how they act.
They will learn from their own mistakes.
They will learn how they want to be treated in the future.
They will learn how to problem solve.
When you think about it, letting your kids fight their own battles is one of the best ways to ensure they will be confident, more sure of themselves, and learn how to find the right kind of friends.
But, there have been some occasions where I've still stepped in and fought the fight with my kids; because, with all things in parenting, there are always exceptions.
If they are being bullied. There are normal fights that all kids go through with their friends, and then there is bullying. They look totally different. Bullying is mean-spirited, and usually takes place with another child that is NOT your child's friend.
If my child is being bullied, you better believe I will step in on their behalf with the other parent, the school, and the bully if I have to. There is no tolerance in my mind for mean-spirited bullying, and I won't stand for it when it happens to my kid, or someone else's.
If my kids are in danger. If I feel like another child is participating in behaviors that could lead to my child being in danger, I'll step in. Every time. If my child is breaking rules at school, or the person they are in conflict with is, I will make sure things are discussed with teachers and school administrators.
If they've tried to resolve it, and it's not getting better. Recently, my daughter was having a conflict with a friend for a few weeks that I knew nothing about. Finally one day, she burst into tears and told me. We talked a lot about what she had tried, and it appeared that she really had tried to make things right.
She was at fault in the situation, but the other girl wasn't being very forgiving. I didn't want this to damage the relationship long term, so I brought it up to the other mom. She was very grateful and we were able to facilitate our girls solving the problem, and before I knew it, they were playing again.
Give your kids a chance to fix the problem on their own. It may take several talks with you to coach them, but if it's still not getting resolved, it might be time to help them out.
Other than that, I really do try to stay out of it. I'm a firm believer that I'm a coach for my kids' problems, not the fixer. I'm the one who is supposed to role-play what to say and encourage them to make good choices. I'm the one who is supposed to be there for them when things are hard.
But, I'm not the one who is supposed to fight their battles for them. By doing that, I'm robbing them of the opportunity to learn, grow, and figure life out.

Jazz maestro Monty Alexander to return to Queens for the first time in almost 50 years
Photo by Joe Martinez
Jazz legend Monty Alexander will perform at JPAC on Saturday.
By Naeisha Rose
nrose@cnglocal.com
Monty Alexander, a celebrated jazz musician is returning to perform in Queens for the first time in nearly 50 years on Saturday, according to the Jamaica Center for the Arts and Learning, which is presenting his work to kick off the holidays.
The Kingston, Jamaica native will perform "Love Notes" his piano concert at 7 p.m. at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center located at 153-10 Jamaica Ave.
"Known as the 'home of jazz', Queens has nurtured some of the greatest jazz legends in history, such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie," said JCAL Executive Director Cathy Hung. " This Summer, we started to develop a 'headliner' series [that] aims to bring some of the living legends to perform at the community and to continue the history."
The Jazz Gallery is located in Manhattan and is an international jazz cultural center dedicated to encouraging and facilitating artistic risk-taking, according to Hung.
"We want to bring the vibrant Queens Jazz scene in downtown Jamaica and build an audience for the culture that lives right here," Hung said.
Alexander, 74, has never forgotten where he came from and infuses his jazz with calypso, reggae, mento, and other island music, and at other times has instilled his repertoire with the American songbook of blues, gospel and bebop in over 70 albums, according to Alexander's publicist. He is the only jazz pianist to be nominated for a Grammy for Best Reggae album.
During his career, Alexander has either met or performed with the likes of jazz giants Ray Brown, Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra, according to his publicist.
In November, the jazz maestro was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies and in 2,000 her received the Commander of Distinction from the Jamaican Government, according to Alexander's publicist.
"Looking forward to playing in Queens this weekend," said Alexander. "My first and only time playing in Queens was quite a long time ago… in the summer of 1969 during the Moon landing. Happy to return 50 years later."
