aug 6, 2015 \| by alec making challenges are always a fantastic place to find inspiring, genius and sometimes seemingly impossible designs. and catch the wind competition is no different, as various makers have contributed some amazing printed creations capable of harnessing the power of the wind. however, perhaps the most remarkable design has sprouted from the printer of mike blakemore, who has developed an ingeniously simple wind energy storage unit; essentially a printed battery without any electronic parts involved. mike himself is a software developer at the startup interactive, which specializes in software solutions including a development platform called touch control system for personalized creation. however, his printed creation can also be seen as a next generation wind energy store in gravity, this amazing concept essentially captures the energy of the wind in a few plastic parts, before releasing it at the moment of your choosing. how on earth is that possible, you wonder? well, creation is essentially riding on a new trend in the energy sector that tackles problems associated with wind and solar energy. for while the sun is plentiful everywhere, it exactly available in the middle of the night (and its not always windy). how do you effectively store those green energies for later use without relying on expensive, toxic batteries that need to be replaced all the time? the solution is harnessing another power, that of gravity. ‘using the principle of exploiting the force of gravity, it is in theory possible to store vast amounts of surplus energy, relatively cheap, environmentally friendly, maintenance free, totally safe and without disrupting landscape or taking up horizontal space,’ the team behind explain. ‘the concept of exploiting the force of gravity has been around for centuries in the form of the pendulum clock, which stores the energy that a person puts into the system and then distributes it slowly over a long period of time. the gravity battery acts in a similar way, it stores the surplus energy obtained from solar panels during long periods of time, and then delivers it whenever it is needed. it is literally the best possible way of storing large amounts of energy for an indefinite period of time.’ as you can see in the clip above, bill gates is also a big fan of this remarkable concept. while this concept can take huge shapes, it is perhaps best illustrated by something as simple as wind energy stored in gravity. this printed contraption generates basic energy through the wind turbine on the left. that energy is immediately expended to lift the central plastic beam up. however, the energy equivalent used to lift it up, can also be expended at a moment of your choosing by letting it drop powering the propeller on the right side. ‘we can use generated energy to lift heavy objects and later retrieve the energy using the weight of the lifted object to turn gears on its way back down. a gravity battery is considered full when the heavy object is lifted all the way up,’ mike explains. this amazing plastic battery in action. it is, essentially, a plastic battery. of course, on a real-world scale, this battery will be huge to get your worth. ‘real world of this concept usually involve weights that are either lowered into deep holes in the ground or held in above ground silos,’ mike adds. one of bill gates’ examples revolved around lifting water up a mountain and letting it flow down to generate electricity. however, even concept can be theoretically expanded indefinitely. ‘multiple copies of the rack gear can be glued together to increase the storage capacity of the battery indefinitely,’ he says. as he explains toers.org, mike developed virtually all of the concept on paper, as he does with all his ideas and projects. ‘everything after that is done ins max,’ he says. printing itself took place on a da vinci and took roughly three days to fully print in abs. ‘i recommend printing in abs with .2 layer height and 30% fill. the rack gears function as the battery weight, so it might be a good idea to print them at 100% fill, attach additional weight to the gear to increase torque,’ mike explains. the entire tool, which can be downloaded from here, is also completely modular and can take just about any imaginable shape. ‘i've included full models of the turbine and fan in addition to sliced versions for easier printing. you can reduce the number of fan blades, reverse them, or attach a else you'd like,’ he says. really the only thing that printed are a set of skateboard bearings, which you can find here. while this competition only closed yesterday, we expect that this entry will definitely catch the eye of the jury. and if the quality of this project as well as some of other builds, like this printed submarine are anything to go by, see much more of him in the near future. posted in printing applications maybe you also like:	ˈɔgəst 6 2015 baɪ ˈælɪk ˈmeɪkɪŋ ˈʧælənʤɪz ər ˈɔlˌweɪz ə fænˈtæstɪk pleɪs tɪ faɪnd ˌɪnˈspaɪərɪŋ, ˈʤinjəs ənd ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ˈsimɪŋli ˌɪmˈpɑsəbəl dɪˈzaɪnz. ənd kæʧ ðə wɪnd ˌkɑmpəˈtɪʃən ɪz noʊ ˈdɪfərənt, ɛz ˈvɛriəs ˈmeɪkərz hæv kənˈtrɪbjutɪd səm əˈmeɪzɪŋ ˈprɪnɪd kriˈeɪʃənz ˈkeɪpəbəl əv ˈhɑrnəsɪŋ ðə paʊər əv ðə wɪnd. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, pərˈhæps ðə moʊst rɪˈmɑrkəbəl dɪˈzaɪn həz ˈspraʊtɪd frəm ðə ˈprɪnər əv maɪk ˈbleɪkmɔr, hu həz dɪˈvɛləpt ən ˌɪnˈʤinjəsli ˈsɪmpəl wɪnd ˈɛnərʤi ˈstɔrɪʤ ˈjunɪt; ɛˈsɛnʃəli ə ˈprɪnɪd ˈbætəri wɪˈθaʊt ˈɛni ˌɪˌlɛkˈtrɑnɪk pɑrts ˌɪnˈvɑlvd. maɪk hɪmˈsɛlf ɪz ə ˈsɔfˌwɛr dɪˈvɛləpər æt ðə ˈstɑrˌtəp ˌɪnərˈæktɪv, wɪʧ ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪzɪz ɪn ˈsɔfˌwɛr səˈluʃənz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ə dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˈplætˌfɔrm kɔld təʧ kənˈtroʊl ˈsɪstəm fər ˈpərsənəˌlaɪzd kriˈeɪʃən. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, hɪz ˈprɪnɪd kriˈeɪʃən kən ˈɔlsoʊ bi sin ɛz ə nɛkst ˌʤɛnərˈeɪʃən wɪnd ˈɛnərʤi stɔr ɪn ˈgrævɪti, ðɪs əˈmeɪzɪŋ ˈkɑnsɛpt ɛˈsɛnʃəli ˈkæpʧərz ðə ˈɛnərʤi əv ðə wɪnd ɪn ə fju ˈplæstɪk pɑrts, ˌbiˈfɔr riˈlisɪŋ ɪt æt ðə ˈmoʊmənt əv jʊr ˈʧuzɪŋ. haʊ ɔn ərθ ɪz ðət ˈpɑsəbəl, ju ˈwəndər?

the italian parliament has voted to outlaw public displays of nazi or fascist symbols, following a spate of incidents across the country. the new law, passed late tuesday by the lower assembly, foresees jail terms from six months to almost three years for people who perform nazi or fascist salutes, sell memorabilia or post propaganda on the internet. to enter into force, it will need approval also from the senate before parliament is dissolved in early 2018, which may not happen given a busy legislative agenda. the bill comes in the wake of reports that a cake shop in southern italy displayed a hitler cake on its store front, while the forza nuova party is preparing a march on the anniversary of fascist dictator benito mussolini's rise to power. according to emanuele, a lawmaker from the ruling democratic party (pd) who sponsored the legislation, italy needs to come down harder against rising nostalgia, like germany has done. in an interview with, cited an italian facebook page, now shut down, that publicized nazi propaganda minister joseph goebbels' speeches and had about followers. right-wing critics, including the forza italia party of former premier silvio berlusconi, say the new law threatens freedom of expression. the populist five star movement also voted against, arguing it would have been better to tighten existing laws against hate speech and the of the fascist party. mussolini ruled over italy from 1922 until 1943. he took italy into world war two on adolf hitler's side and passed race laws under which thousands of jews were persecuted. italy was routed by the allied forces and mussolini, also known as "il duce", was executed in 1945. anti-immigrant sentiment mussolini is still admired by a hard core of supporters on the and posters using fascist imagery regularly appear on city billboards -- most recently in a stylized picture of a white woman being assaulted by a muscular black man. "defend her from the new invaders," said the poster, put up by a fringe party called forza nuova (new force). the group was referring to a high-profile rape case last month when four foreigners were accused of a polish tourist. more than migrants, mainly africans, have come to italy over the past four years, boosting sentiment in the country and pushing up support for rightist and parties that demand rigid border controls. given the political climate, the ruling was forced on tuesday to delay its push to approve a contested law that would grant citizenship to the children of immigrants. opposition parties said the law would encourage migrants to try to come to italy and claimed victory when the announced it was dropping the bill from the senate schedule this month. "to approve this bill we need a majority, but we don't have one right now in the senate," said luigi zanda, head of the in the upper house of parliament.	ðə ˌɪˈtæljən ˈpɑrləmɛnt həz ˈvoʊtɪd tɪ ˈaʊˌtlɔ ˈpəblɪk dɪˈspleɪz əv ˈnɑtsi ər ˈfæʃɪst ˈsɪmbəlz, ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ə speɪt əv ˈɪnsədənts əˈkrɔs ðə ˈkəntri. ðə nu lɔ, pæst leɪt ˈtuzˌdeɪ baɪ ðə loʊər əˈsɛmbli, fɔrˈsiz ʤeɪl tərmz frəm sɪks mənθs tɪ ˈɔlˌmoʊst θri jɪrz fər ˈpipəl hu pərˈfɔrm ˈnɑtsi ər ˈfæʃɪst səˈluts, sɛl ˌmɛmərəˈbiljə ər poʊst ˌprɑpəˈgændə ɔn ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt. tɪ ˈɛnər ˈɪntu fɔrs, ɪt wɪl nid əˈpruvəl ˈɔlsoʊ frəm ðə ˈsɛnɪt ˌbiˈfɔr ˈpɑrləmɛnt ɪz dɪˈzɑlvd ɪn ˈərli 2018 wɪʧ meɪ nɑt ˈhæpən ˈgɪvɪn ə ˈbɪzi ˈlɛʤəsˌleɪtɪv əˈʤɛndə. ðə bɪl kəmz ɪn ðə weɪk əv rɪˈpɔrts ðət ə keɪk ʃɑp ɪn ˈsəðərn ˈɪtəli dɪˈspleɪd ə ˈhɪtlər keɪk ɔn ɪts stɔr frənt, waɪl ðə ˈfɔrzə nˈwoʊvə ˈpɑrti ɪz pərˈpɛrɪŋ ə mɑrʧ ɔn ðə ˌænəˈvərsəri əv ˈfæʃɪst ˈdɪkteɪtər bɪˈniˌtoʊ ˌmusoʊˈliniz raɪz tɪ paʊər. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ eɪmɑnuˈɛleɪ, ə ˈlɔˌmeɪkər frəm ðə ˈrulɪŋ ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈpɑrti (pd) hu ˈspɑnsərd ðə ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən, ˈɪtəli nidz tɪ kəm daʊn ˈhɑrdər əˈgɛnst ˈraɪzɪŋ nɔˈstælʤə, laɪk ˈʤərməni həz dən. ɪn ən ˈɪntərvˌju wɪθ ˈsaɪtɪd ən ˌɪˈtæljən ˈfeɪsˌbʊk peɪʤ, naʊ ʃət daʊn, ðət ˈpəblɪˌsaɪzd ˈnɑtsi ˌprɑpəˈgændə ˈmɪnɪstər ˈʤoʊzəf ˈgoʊbəlz' ˈspiʧɪz ənd hæd əˈbaʊt ˈfɑloʊərz. ˈkrɪtɪks, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðə ˈfɔrzə ˌɪˈtæljə ˈpɑrti əv ˈfɔrmər prɛˈmɪr ˈsɪlvioʊ ˌbərləˈskoʊni, seɪ ðə nu lɔ θˈrɛtənz ˈfridəm əv ɪkˈsprɛʃən. ðə ˈpɑpjələst faɪv stɑr ˈmuvmənt ˈɔlsoʊ ˈvoʊtɪd əˈgɛnst, ˈɑrgjuɪŋ ɪt wʊd hæv bɪn ˈbɛtər tɪ ˈtaɪtən ɪgˈzɪstɪŋ lɔz əˈgɛnst heɪt spiʧ ənd ðə əv ðə ˈfæʃɪst ˈpɑrti. ˌmusoʊˈlini ruld ˈoʊvər ˈɪtəli frəm 1922 ənˈtɪl 1943 hi tʊk ˈɪtəli ˈɪntu wərld wɔr tu ɔn ˈeɪdɑlf ˈhɪtlərz saɪd ənd pæst reɪs lɔz ˈəndər wɪʧ ˈθaʊzənz əv ʤuz wər ˈpərsəˌkjutəd. ˈɪtəli wɑz ˈrutɪd baɪ ðə ˈæˌlaɪd ˈfɔrsɪz ənd ˌmusoʊˈlini, ˈɔlsoʊ noʊn ɛz "ɪl ˈduˌʧeɪ", wɑz ˈɛksəˌkjutɪd ɪn 1945 ˈsɛnəmənt ˌmusoʊˈlini ɪz stɪl ədˈmaɪərd baɪ ə hɑrd kɔr əv səˈpɔrtərz ɔn ðə ənd ˈpoʊstərz ˈjuzɪŋ ˈfæʃɪst ˈɪmɪʤri ˈrɛgjələrli əˈpɪr ɔn ˈsɪti ˈbɪlˌbɔrdz moʊst ˈrisəntli ɪn ə ˈstaɪˌlaɪzd ˈpɪkʧər əv ə waɪt ˈwʊmən biɪŋ əˈsɔltɪd baɪ ə ˈməskjələr blæk mæn.

downtownbirminghamshooting.png a high school student was shot to death tuesday, feb. 7, 2017 on second avenue south downtown birmingham. police chief a.c. roper said the teen was shot while he was trying to buy a gun in a deal brokered on facebook. (photo by carol robinson) ( ) isaiah johnson a young man died in the middle of a downtown birmingham street tuesday afternoon, despite intense efforts by birmingham police officers to save him. the shooting happened about p.m. on second avenue south at street. in front of the railroad square office building. the victim was isaiah johnson, and was there to exchange guns and buy an additional gun in a deal that was brokered on facebook. they met in a nearby alley and one of the young men opened fire from a vehicle, striking johnson. the suspects fled the scene. "it is so unfortunate that some of our young people are making poor decisions and losing their lives,'' birmingham police chief a.c. roper told al.com. "for example, this victim and his group planned to buy a gun from this other group so they met in an alley. the transaction was coordinated over facebook and the victim knew the suspects." johnson's slaying comes one week after another was shot to death. webb was gunned down while walking home from high school last tuesday. johnson also attended high and it appears the two were friends. "the issue is not high school which is a great school, but these kids carry their community issues to school with them,'' roper said. " i feel like we are in a desperate race to save lives and the race isn't fair because we're trying to overcome all kinds of socioeconomic issues that affect crime and decision making." "the issue of these young people resorting to crime and violence is systemic across the nation,'' he said, "but we refuse to allow it to become the norm in birmingham when it should be the exception." in tuesday's shooting, nearby workers reported hearing two gunshots. johnson was struck at least once in the chest. birmingham police officers, including an evidence technician, were first on the scene. several of them gave first aid to johnson while another performed for a lengthy period of time. birmingham fire & rescue service arrived, performed an and pronounced him dead on the scene. "the odds were against us when we got here,'' said south precinct lt. david rockett, one of the officers who tried to save the victim. at least two of the victim's friends who were with him at the time of the shooting were nearly inconsolable. they told police the shooting happened during a robbery, and that three people fled in a brown car. they were taken to police headquarters for further questioning. earlier, at the scene, birmingham police spokesman lt. sean edwards had said that details were sketchy but it appears the victim and several of his friends met another group of people in a nearby alley. "we're not sure who he came to meet. we know it was someone else in another car,'' edwards said. "some kind of altercation, some kind of engagement happened in the alley area." after being shot, the victim ran out of the alley where he collapsed in the middle of second avenue south between and streets. "we're trying to determine what led up to this,'' edwards said. "this is a very interesting location due to the fact that we have a lot of construction going on. we normally don't have something of this nature here. to have an individual in the middle of the street definitely has us puzzled." edwards said detectives were canvassing the area and trying to see if there was any video surveillance from nearby buildings. "it's obviously not a random shooting,'' he said earlier. "it's obvious this was a meeting place for the individuals involved." he praised the officers who tried to save the victim, calling them "courageous." "we salute our officers,'' he said.

however, entrepreneurs all over the world are stepping up to the plate to address food waste in remarkably creative ways. produces snacks from dehydrated bananas, from latin america, that would have been otherwise wasted either because scuffed, too ripe, or an unappealing size for consumption. the company has even “close(d) the banana waste loop,” as chief marketing officer nik ingersoll told forbes, by powering their using pellets made from dried banana peels. in the netherlands, is growing oyster mushrooms using discarded coffee grounds. in california, imperfect produce delivers produce that supermarkets sell in-store, due to their odd shapes and sizes, for% below market price. baldor fresh cuts uses food scraps from restaurants, like carrot tops and pineapple cores, to make cookies, supplements, and more. “the idea is to take an item that normally would be wasted and turn it into a consumer product,” tom mcquillan, director of food service sales and sustainability, told popular science. “it’s a great way to get food into the hands of the food-insecure, and to people who should be eating healthy foods.” tipping the scale by turning food waste back into food, these entrepreneurs are beginning to tackle one of our biggest paradoxes: despite producing much more food than we consume, millions of people remain hungry. according to the world hunger education service, nearly 795 million people suffered from chronic in. in developing regions, this impacts about% of the population, compared to less than 5% of developed countries. unsurprisingly, the balance of food waste skews in the opposite direction, with hungrier countries producing less waste. in these countries, food waste usually due to distaste for bumpy produce, but instead lack of access to the technology needed to keep food fresh. a 2014 study from the university of birmingham found that india loses billion pounds, or roughly us $5.8 billion, worth of fruits and vegetables due to the absence of refrigerant technology. as such, projects are underway in these countries that seek to preserve food before it can spoil. in kenya, where more than half of the mango crop often spoils before reaching market, health is developing a facility to dry the mangoes into fruit leather, a product and dense source of nutrients. the save food initiative is among the biggest organization pursuing this mission. thirteen african countries already have save food initiatives underway to reduce food loss and bolster small farmers, as do india, egypt, iran, jordan, lebanon, malaysia, and timor-leste. in january 2017, the initiative launched its first project in russia, where food waste is lower than the global average, but still estimated, as of 2013, at roughly 56 kilos per person per year. “if each of us takes a look at their fridge and starts counting the volume of food we throw away each year, we will end up with figures. this is particularly disturbing against the background of the large numbers of people around us who have to save on the essentials and need help,” said krisko, president of rus, at the launch.	ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˌɑntrəprəˈnərz ɔl ˈoʊvər ðə wərld ər

considering geraldo penchant for threatening violence during political debates and being woefully irresponsible in his reporting when covering a war, it is perhaps unsurprising that he told the hosts of fox news's show "fox & friends" that he just loves seeing the american military drop bombs on people. "well one of my favorite things in the 16 years i've been here at fox news is watching bombs drop on bad guys," rivera told his hosts. advertisement: and i have some experience in that exact part of afghanistan going back to december 2001, the first of my 11 assignments in that country, where we dropped what was the forerunner, maybe you call it the father of the 'mother of all bombs,' the daisy cutter, daisy cutter pounds of explosive. this is pounds of explosive. he added, "like then, now, we've had a successful hit. almost two dozen or more actually three dozen bad guys killed. it's not going to win the war, but it certainly sends a message." rivera conveniently left out what is perhaps his most notable wartime reporting story. when he was covering the second iraq war on the ground in 2003, he told his cameraman to show his feet and then drew a rough map of iraq in the sand. his map not only gave away the unit's location relative to baghdad, but also where it would be going next. rivera was swiftly kicked out and dropped off at the kuwaiti border. presumably this is not also one of favorite moments since joining fox news.	kənˈsɪdərɪŋ ʤərˈɑldoʊ ˈpɛnʧənt fər θˈrɛtənɪŋ ˈvaɪələns ˈdʊrɪŋ pəˈlɪtɪkəl dəˈbeɪts ənd biɪŋ ˈwoʊfəli ˌɪrəˈspɑnsəbəl ɪn hɪz rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ wɪn ˈkəvərɪŋ ə wɔr, ɪt ɪz pərˈhæps ənsərˈpraɪzɪŋ ðət hi toʊld ðə hoʊsts əv fɑks ˈnuzɪz ʃoʊ "fɑks frɛndz" ðət hi ʤɪst ləvz siɪŋ ðə əˈmɛrɪkən ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri drɔp bɑmz ɔn ˈpipəl.

day after day, instances of racial abuse across the globe are increasing in number. it was only recently that we had come across the horrific video of a woman on a train in ireland shouting racist remarks at her fellow asian passengers. very soon a video surfaced on youtube bringing to light the plight of two african women who were verbally abused by the commuters in delhi metro. our obsession with skin colour and using that as a parameter to judge a person, however irrational, remains a sad truth. advertising also read \| this outrage over white privilege is the most honest thing you will read today recently, an couple were at the receiving end of the wrath of people only because both of them come from two different places and well, look different. going by their posts and youtube videos, and markus seem to be like any other regular couple with an adorable kid. recently, who is a blogger, had posted a video with her swedish husband trying to feed their daughter. however few users decided to look beyond what the blogger was trying to say, and instead posted some very hurtful and racist comments. from calling markus a “subhuman trash” to referring to the baby as “ugly”, the hate messages that were spewed on the video were unimaginable. though the comments have been taken down, an user the worse ones. this is the video. here are some of the comments. do you see the hatred? and how brutal they get, for no fault of the couple. it just keeps getting worse. however in what can be considered as a silver lining in the entire scenario, there are some users who sent their support both on and on youtube. “hey… jus read an article about what u and ur husband had to go through for posting an adorable video of your daughter… please do not let haters win.. you guys are in love and ur baby is beautiful. keep spreading love… much love for little mila wrote one, while another wrote, “your family is beautiful. love to you and your gorgeous child. my husband has swedish, slovak, castillian, irish ancestry and i am bengali. we live in the united states.”	deɪ ˈæftər deɪ, ˈɪnstənsɪz əv ˈreɪʃəl əˈbjuz əˈkrɔs ðə gloʊb ər ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ ɪn ˈnəmbər. ɪt wɑz ˈoʊnli ˈrisəntli ðət wi hæd kəm əˈkrɔs ðə hɔˈrɪfɪk ˈvɪdioʊ əv ə ˈwʊmən ɔn ə treɪn ɪn ˈaɪərlənd ˈʃaʊtɪŋ ˈreɪsɪst rɪˈmɑrks æt hər ˈfɛloʊ ˈeɪʒən ˈpæsənʤərz. ˈvɛri sun ə ˈvɪdioʊ ˈsərfɪst ɔn ˈjuˌtub ˈbrɪŋɪŋ tɪ laɪt ðə plaɪt əv tu ˈæfrɪkɑn ˈwɪmən hu wər vərˈbæli əˈbjuzd baɪ ðə kəmˈjutərz ɪn ˈdɛli ˈmɛˌtroʊ. ɑr əbˈsɛʃən wɪθ skɪn ˈkələr ənd ˈjuzɪŋ ðət ɛz ə pərˈæmətər tɪ ʤəʤ ə ˈpərsən, ˌhaʊˈɛvər ˌɪˈræʃənəl, rɪˈmeɪnz ə sæd truθ. ˈædvərˌtaɪzɪŋ ˈɔlsoʊ rɛd ðɪs ˈaʊˌtreɪʤ ˈoʊvər waɪt ˈprɪvɪlɪʤ ɪz ðə moʊst ˈɑnəst θɪŋ ju wɪl rɛd təˈdeɪ ˈrisəntli, ən ˈkəpəl wər æt ðə rɪˈsivɪŋ ɛnd əv ðə ræθ əv ˈpipəl ˈoʊnli bɪˈkəz boʊθ əv ðɛm kəm frəm tu ˈdɪfərənt ˈpleɪsɪz ənd wɛl, lʊk ˈdɪfərənt. goʊɪŋ baɪ ðɛr poʊsts ənd ˈjuˌtub ˈvɪdioʊz, ənd ˈmɑrkəs sim tɪ bi laɪk ˈɛni ˈəðər ˈrɛgjələr ˈkəpəl wɪθ ən əˈdɔrəbəl kɪd. ˈrisəntli, hu ɪz ə ˈblɔgər, hæd ˈpoʊstɪd ə ˈvɪdioʊ wɪθ hər sˈwidɪʃ ˈhəzbənd traɪɪŋ tɪ fid ðɛr ˈdɔtər. ˌhaʊˈɛvər fju ˈjuzərz ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ lʊk bɪɔnd wət ðə ˈblɔgər wɑz traɪɪŋ tɪ seɪ, ənd ˌɪnˈstɛd ˈpoʊstɪd səm ˈvɛri ˈhərtfəl ənd ˈreɪsɪst ˈkɑmɛnts. frəm ˈkɔlɪŋ ˈmɑrkəs ə trash”” tɪ rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈbeɪbi ɛz ““ugly””, ðə heɪt ˈmɛsɪʤɪz ðət wər spjud ɔn ðə ˈvɪdioʊ wər ˌənɪˈmæʤɪnəbəl. ðoʊ ðə ˈkɑmɛnts hæv bɪn ˈteɪkən daʊn, ən ˈjuzər ðə wərs wənz. ðɪs ɪz ðə ˈvɪdioʊ. hir ər səm əv ðə ˈkɑmɛnts. du ju si ðə ˈheɪtrəd? ənd haʊ ˈbrutəl ðeɪ gɪt, fər noʊ fɔlt əv ðə ˈkəpəl. ɪt ʤɪst kips ˈgɪtɪŋ wərs. ˌhaʊˈɛvər ɪn wət kən bi kənˈsɪdərd ɛz ə ˈsɪlvər ˈlaɪnɪŋ ɪn ðə ɪnˈtaɪər sɪˈnɛrioʊ, ðɛr ər səm ˈjuzərz hu sɛnt ðɛr səˈpɔrt boʊθ ɔn ənd ɔn ˈjuˌtub. ““hey…… ʤəs rɛd ən ˈɑrtɪkəl əˈbaʊt wət ju ənd ər ˈhəzbənd hæd tɪ goʊ θru fər ˈpoʊstɪŋ ən əˈdɔrəbəl ˈvɪdioʊ əv jʊr daughter…… pliz du nɑt lɛt ˈheɪtərz wɪn.. ju gaɪz ər ɪn ləv ənd ər ˈbeɪbi ɪz ˈbjutəfəl. kip ˈsprɛdɪŋ love…… məʧ ləv fər ˈlɪtəl ˈmaɪlə roʊt wən, waɪl əˈnəðər roʊt, ˈfæməli ɪz ˈbjutəfəl. ləv tɪ ju ənd jʊr ˈgɔrʤəs ʧaɪld. maɪ ˈhəzbənd həz sˈwidɪʃ, sˈloʊvɑk, castillian, ˈaɪrɪʃ ˈænsɛstri ənd aɪ æm bɛŋˈgɑli. wi lɪv ɪn ðə juˈnaɪtɪd states.”*.”
israeli army spokesperson avital speaks to 2011 participants at. media in conflicts seminar dozens of young journalists, including at least one working for the bbc, are in israel this week for a junket designed to give them “a more positive attitude” toward policies. the journalists are attending the media in conflicts seminar (mics) at the interdisciplinary center at). now in its fifth year, the seminar is the brainchild of the advocacy group. the media in conflicts seminar is “hasbara for foreign media personnel, diplomats and youth from all over the world,” according to the website of ministry for public diplomacy (which was recently absorbed into the prime office). hasbara is a hebrew word that literally translates as “explaining” but is used specifically to describe government propaganda and outreach efforts to gain support for policies. according to the ministry, the media in conflicts seminar specifically targets europeans. participants those attending this year include ullah, a broadcast journalist with bbc wales; anskaityte, a radio journalist from lithuania; rachel dzanashvili, a freelance contributor to fox news; tomas halasz, a photographer from slovakia; joseph, a staffer at the news agency; mariana granja, a reporter for agence france presse; and parameswaran, a contributor to al jazeera and radio netherlands. george hale, a senior editor for news agency, confirmed that was attending the seminar. however, hale told the electronic intifada in an email that was doing so “in a personal capacity, not on behalf of.” hale added that is “not a member of the news team.” us journalist anna lekas miller was accepted to attend, but announced on twitter on sunday that she was denied entry to israel. afghan journalist reported on the facebook page that he was denied a visa as well. previous participants include florence of cnn international, carl of swedish news agency telegrambyrå, and keith of television malta. the electronic intifada asked felix gaedtke, who lists 2012 as professional education on his resume, if organizers disclosed to him their funding from and affiliation with the government propaganda ministry. he replied “i remember what the told us about the funding for the seminar.” mics published lists of participants and speakers for 2009 and 2010 on the web site. past participants can also be seen in videos posted to the youtube channel. winning friends new york times journalist ethan bronner speaks to 2011 participants at. media in conflicts seminar “the purpose of the seminar is to find young journalists who will work in the world of media, as well as those who aspire to be ‘opinion makers’ in their countries, and to put them through workshops about media coverage of conflict zones,” organizers stated in a fundraising appeal. according to its official website, the media in conflicts seminar includes “a fully subsidized stay in israel (not including airfare)” and a “strategic tour of jerusalem and the conflict areas.” it also boasts that “participants develop skills to face the challenges of conflict reporting, create a priceless professional network and experience the most covered conflict zone.” in addition to seminars on “terrorism,” and military and political topics, the participants meet israeli political leaders, academics and senior israeli journalists. past speakers are a who of israeli political and military echelons, including avital, who became notorious as army spokesperson during the invasion of gaza, and former minister of public diplomacy yuli edelstein. in 2011, the seminar was addressed by ethan bronner, then the new york times bureau chief in jerusalem. bbc arabic journalist ahmad also addressed the seminar in 2012. this seminar will be addressed by israeli foreign ministry spokesperson ilana stein. the organizers have touted the success of previous seminars, claiming, “the impact of is evident in [the participants] subsequent media coverage of the conflict.” ties to the government the media in conflicts seminar bears the hallmarks of strategy to fight “delegitimization,” laid out in 2010 by the institute, a think tank with ties. in an influential report, recommended that israel “maintain thousands of personal relationships with political, cultural, media and elites and influentials” around the world. a 2009 press release says the project is “approved by the ministry of public diplomacy and diaspora.” a 2012 report by, the center for the renewal of israeli democracy, includes an appendix that identifies the media in conflicts seminar as part of the “hasbara apparatus.” the reports notes, referring to, that “the of public diplomacy organizes a yearly seminar, in cooperation with the interdisciplinary center in herzeliya, for members of the media and senior journalists from europe to develop personal, intimate relationships that encourage a more positive attitude towards foreign and domestic policies.” conceived by the media in conflicts seminar was conceived by the israel fellowship recipients in 2009. standwithus is the dollar advocacy group that works closely with the israeli government. a press release and an email newsletter published in 2009 by identify gerber, an artillery instructor in the field intelligence unit, schwartz and sharon as the main organizers of the first seminar. while students have held online fundraisers and a vintage clothing sale for the media in conflicts seminar, these have raised no more than a few hundred dollars. the total cost of the media in conflict seminar in 2010 was shekels ($41,600), of which ($22,000) was paid by the israeli government and the rest by, according to an official ministry of public diplomacy budget. idc: hotbed of government propaganda the media in conflicts seminar claims that it is a “student initiative” at, and the unsuccessful online fundraising campaigns can perhaps be seen as an effort to lend authenticity to this claim. in fact, students are heavily involved in state propaganda efforts, and the seminar is only one example. idc itself is an israeli academic institution that has become synonymous with an annual conference attended by military and political leaders who have often used it as a platform for racist and belligerent statements. one perk of attending the media in conflicts seminar is access to the annual conference. and as reported for the electronic intifada last month: idc’s ambassador club is a program for more than two hundred students from thirty countries run in partnership with. the program includes lectures on media, economy and history in order to “arm the students with the latest surveys and data and to teach them how to present the israeli narrative” in north america and europe. at the end of the course, each participant receives “an accreditation endorsed by the israeli ministry of foreign affairs,” according to the website. last november, during bombardment of gaza, students there set up a “war room” to “send out messages in support of the attack on social media websites like facebook and twitter.” idc would therefore appear to be the ideal model for the recently revealed “covert” effort to recruit students at all seven israeli universities into a social media propaganda program run out of the prime office. media in conflicts seminar is no place for journalists given the clear government backing and propaganda goals of the media in conflicts seminar, it is inappropriate for any media organization seeking to maintain its credibility reporting on palestine and the israelis to allow its staff to participate in this junket.	ˌɪzˈreɪli ˈɑrmi ˈspoʊkspərsən əˈvitəl spiks tɪ 2011 pɑrˈtɪsəpənts æt. ˈmidiə ɪn ˈkɑnflɪkts ˈsɛməˌnɑr ˈdəzənz əv jəŋ ˈʤərnəlɪsts, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ æt list wən

there was a time, many years ago, when i met a russian learner for the first time. it was all the way across the globe in australia. i was amazed that anyone would even think to learn russian! i asked. with a thick accent greg answered, he stuttered, mixed up his words and could barely get a phrase out. and that was the result of ten years of study! a lot of time has passed since then and lots of students, just like greg, have told me the most wild and interesting reasons for studying russian. and of course, they also told me about their struggles. i even wrote a book especially for greg and for you too! some students explain why they started learning russian and continue to struggle along with it. but really, when you think about it, everyone has their own logical reason. and i think i have heard them all! so tell me, do you see yourself in this list? getting back to your roots have family that came from russian in one of the emigration waves from the ussr? quite often you can hear ‘i am russian by decent and really wish my babushka had taught me russian.’ if your family speak russian at home and teach you the russian, have to start with the basics - read the c 'pronunciation can ruin everything is there to help you'. you have to... maybe you are an international relations student and russian is part of your study programme? you need to pass the test to get a work permit in russia. maybe your boss is russian? фото: i will presume that russian grammar is probably your biggest sticking point. i had this in mind when i wrote chapter 'grammar every day'. cultural legacy maybe you are a big fan of dostoevsky, tolstoy or maybe soviet films, pushkin or silver age poetry? maybe you want to read classic russian fairy tales like jack frost? one american told me he "wanna watch ballet in russian" ! fragment from a classic russian ballet "лебединое" (english: "swan lake") don’t read translated russian literature! the translation just ruins all the meaning and beauty of the original. russian wife russian wife... or husband? kids, in-laws or other relatives? then congratulations! you have a great reason (and opportunity) to learn russian. screencap from the movie "yours, mine & ours" (2005) i know just how important ‘live’ conversation is about basic topics. how important it is to finally tell your mother in law that you want any more sauerkraut! also forget to watch the video lessons ( ) geopolitics do you live for politics and news? do you want to read the latest developments in russian too? whether you admire role in the world or think the opposite, russia makes the headlines time and again. as one german told me: “well denis, time to start studying russian again”. so if you need to know how to read and write russian properly and quickly build an impressive vocabulary, want c 'memory like a super computer?' live in or visit russia? perhaps have a trip to russia lined up. maybe you are going for 3 days or 10 times a year? usually, worry about simple things like: "how can i ask directions?", "where and how can i buy medicine?". after all, the further away from the big russian cities you travel, the less english speakers encounter. so get ready! i remember my first visit abroad. i understand much and could just manage a smile:) if you'd like to get: 10 quick travellers’ notes pocket guide in format 13 essential words to make you sound like a russian 7 video lessons of russian totalling 90 minutes business with russians russia is a country in which many people study languages but very few actually speak them. business people might speak english, but in companies you probably be so lucky. the best you can hope for is a heavy accented : «май...», «лет...» for business people, written communication is important and chapter 6. why you hate writing russian is here to help. polyglots just want to add another language to your ‘collection’? maybe a second, fifth, seventh…? or maybe you just like to study languages for brain training? as one polyglot i know told me: “russian is cool. russian surprises people” i’ve also been told that learning russian grammar is actually good for treating certain brain disorders and illnesses like alzheimer's. so the plural is actually your best friend in disguise. the most surprising answer i have to admit, the most surprising answer that i hear quite often is: “i’ve always felt like a russian deep down inside”. others say they study russian because they want to get a glimpse of the world from the russian point of view. this is fascinating for me to hear! so please do drop me a message - a few words or whole story, on why you study russian. your story? i love reading these posts and, who knows, your story might even end up being featured as a blog post! *** well, which category do you belong to? whatever your reason, you are a champion to me! and i try my hardest to help you on your journey. just think: humans have achieved extraordinary things and yet, the industry demands thousands of hours spent in classrooms and thousands of dollars to teach a person to speak russian and most fail. it’s all about your efforts! count on the language learning industry. we need to understand exactly what we are doing. to understand precisely what will help us speak fluent russian and what will be a waste of time. you will learn this and more while finding the simplest and most effective ways to learn russian in russian program for fluency . “what i offer is a simple and efficient method that actually works! only 3 essential steps. you get lost! never been an easier way to learn russian.” --denis p. ivanov ******************************* regards,	ðɛr wɑz ə taɪm, ˈmɛni jɪrz əˈgoʊ, wɪn aɪ mɛt ə ˈrəʃən ˈlərnər fər ðə fərst taɪm. ɪt wɑz ɔl ðə weɪ əˈkrɔs ðə gloʊb ɪn ɔˈstreɪljə. aɪ wɑz əˈmeɪzd ðət ˈɛniˌwən wʊd ˈivɪn θɪŋk tɪ lərn ˈrəʃən! aɪ æst. wɪθ ə θɪk ˈækˌsɛnt grɛg ˈænsərd, hi stuttered, mɪkst əp hɪz wərdz ənd kʊd ˈbɛrli gɪt ə freɪz aʊt. ənd ðət wɑz ðə rɪˈzəlt əv tɛn jɪrz əv ˈstədi! ə lɔt əv taɪm həz pæst sɪns ðɛn ənd lɑts əv ˈstudənts, ʤɪst laɪk grɛg, hæv toʊld mi ðə moʊst waɪld ənd ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ ˈrizənz fər ˈstədiɪŋ ˈrəʃən. ənd əv kɔrs, ðeɪ ˈɔlsoʊ toʊld mi əˈbaʊt ðɛr ˈstrəgəlz. aɪ ˈivɪn roʊt ə bʊk əˈspɛʃəli fər grɛg ənd fər ju tu! səm ˈstudənts ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ðeɪ ˈstɑrtɪd ˈlərnɪŋ ˈrəʃən ənd kənˈtɪnju tɪ ˈstrəgəl əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ɪt. bət ˈrɪli, wɪn ju θɪŋk əˈbaʊt ɪt, ˈɛvriˌwən həz ðɛr oʊn ˈlɑʤɪkəl ˈrizən. ənd aɪ θɪŋk aɪ hæv hərd ðɛm ɔl! soʊ tɛl mi, du ju si ˈjɔrsɛlf ɪn ðɪs lɪst?

this abc news chart seemed to have taken over the top of my twitter feed so i better comment on it. someone at abc news tried really hard to dress up the numbers. the is obviously rigged - obama at 79% should be double the length of trump's 40% but not even close! in the book (chapter 1), i played the role of the devious admissions officer who wants to game the college rankings. let me play the role of the analyst, who has submitted the following chart to the highers-up: i just found out the boss blew the fuse after seeing my chart. the co-workers wore dirty looks, saying without saying "you broke it, you fix it!" how do i clean up this mess? let me try the trick. the solid colors draw attention to themselves, and longer bars usually indicate higher or better so the quick reader may think that obama is the worst and trump is the best at ... well, "favorability on taking office," as the added title suggests. next, let's apply the technique. this fits nicely on a stacked bar chart. i wantonly drop 20% of dissenters from every president's data. such grade inflation actually makes everyone look better, a proposition. while the for trump no longer look so menacing, i am still far from happy as, with so much red concentrated at the bottom of the chart, eyes are focused on the unsightly "yuge" red bar, and it is showing trump with 50% disapproval. i desperately need the white section of the last bar to trump its red section. it requires the treatment - the whole leg. now, a design issue rears its head. with such an aggressive cut, there would be no red left in any of the other bars. i could apply two cuts, a less aggressive cut at the top and a more aggressive cut at the bottom. the presidents neatly break up into two groups, the top three democrats, and the bottom four republicans. it's always convenient to have an excuse for treating some data differently from others. then, i notice that the difference between clinton and bush is immaterial (68% versus 65%), making it awkward to apply different cuts to the two neighbors. no problem, i make three cuts. the chart is getting better and better! two, three, why not make it five cuts? i am intent on making the last red section as tiny as possible but i can't chop more off the right side of bush or reagan without giving away my secret sauce. the final step is to stretch each bar to the right length. mission accomplished. this chart will surely win me some admiration. just one lingering issue: trump's red section is still the longest of the group. it's time for the logo trick. you see, the right ends of the last two bars can be naturally shortened. the logo did it. *** faking charts can take as much effort as making accurate ones. the abc news chart encompasses five different scales. for every president, some percentage of dissenters were removed from the chart. the amount of distortion ranges from 15% to 47% of respondents.	ðɪs ˈeɪˌbiˌsi nuz ʧɑrt simd tɪ hæv ˈteɪkən ˈoʊvər ðə tɔp əv maɪ tˈwɪtər fid soʊ aɪ ˈbɛtər ˈkɑmɛnt ɔn ɪt. ˈsəmˌwən æt ˈeɪˌbiˌsi nuz traɪd ˈrɪli hɑrd tɪ drɛs əp ðə ˈnəmbərz. ðə ɪz ˈɑbviəsli rɪgd ˌoʊˈbɑmə æt 79 ʃʊd bi ˈdəbəl ðə lɛŋθ əv trəmps 40 bət nɑt ˈivɪn kloʊz! ɪn ðə bʊk (ˈʧæptər 1 aɪ pleɪd ðə roʊl əv ðə ˈdiviəs ədˈmɪʃənz ˈɔfɪsər hu wɔnts tɪ geɪm ðə ˈkɑlɪʤ ˈræŋkɪŋz. lɛt mi pleɪ ðə roʊl əv ðə ˈænəlɪst, hu həz səbˈmɪtəd ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ʧɑrt tɪ ðə highers-up: aɪ ʤɪst faʊnd aʊt ðə bɔs blu ðə fjuz ˈæftər siɪŋ maɪ ʧɑrt. ðə ˈkoʊˈwərkərz wɔr ˈdərti lʊks, seɪɪŋ wɪˈθaʊt seɪɪŋ "ju broʊk ɪt, ju fɪks ɪt!" haʊ du aɪ klin əp ðɪs mɛs?

sometimes it is really useful to be able to get some information about your go binaries, for example: when it was built it, which user compiled it, which commit was used, etc. this information is specially useful for your binaries, to bugs or just to have a reference to the source code. how would you do it? we could create a file to store this information. yup, we could, but do you want to manually update it everytime? also need to distribute two files instead of just one. file to store this information. yup, we could, but do you want to manually update it everytime? also need to distribute two files instead of just one. what about a version global structure? well, be better as we would end up with just the binary and no files. but even then, need to update the structure manually before each build. compiler flags to the rescue have you even heard of ? this compiler flag is used by go to override goiables in our program. so if we had this in our main package . package main string if we ran go build "-x=helloworld" , the compiler would set to our . wow! we could also have something like the following go code. package main import ( "fmt" ) ( string string ) main () { . ( "build time: %s " , ) . ( "commit hash: %s " , ) } and build it like this. go build “-x +”%y.%m.%d.%h%m%s”) -x log –pretty=format:’%h’ -n you’d end up if something like this: build time: commit hash: hey, there is no problem if you set thisiables during build time as they would just remain with an empty value, ok? working with packages i could end this post here, but i let you go without knowing this. as you can see on our previous example, we had to specify both the package ( main ) andiable name ( and ). this means that we can also use this flag to injectiables into packages! hmm, show me the code! ok. if we have the following package. package info ( string string ) we could then change it by using the full package path, like this: go build “-xhub.com/goenning/hello-go/info.buildtime=$(date +”%y.%m.%d.%h%m%s”) -xhub.com/goenning/hello-go/info.commithash=$(git log –pretty=format:’%h’ -n just remember that as we are writing a package that is intended to be imported somewhere else, ouriables need to start with a capital letter. another option would be leaving them as internal and implement some sort of to have access to them from your package. that’s all for today folks i hope this tips can help you build your binaries with richer information and save you from bug hunting ;)	ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ɪt ɪz ˈrɪli ˈjusfəl tɪ bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ gɪt səm ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈbaʊt jʊr goʊ ˈbaɪnəˌriz, fər ɪgˈzæmpəl: wɪn ɪt wɑz bɪlt ɪt, wɪʧ ˈjuzər kəmˈpaɪld ɪt, wɪʧ kəˈmɪt wɑz juzd, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə. ðɪs ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ɪz ˈspɛʃəli ˈjusfəl fər jʊr ˈbaɪnəˌriz, tɪ bəgz ər ʤɪst tɪ hæv ə ˈrɛfərəns tɪ ðə sɔrs koʊd. haʊ wʊd ju du ɪt? wi kʊd kriˈeɪt ə faɪl tɪ stɔr ðɪs ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən. jəp, wi kʊd, bət du ju wɔnt tɪ ˈmænjuəli ˈəpˌdeɪt ɪt ˈɛvriˌtaɪm? ˈɔlsoʊ nid tɪ dɪˈstrɪbjut tu faɪlz ˌɪnˈstɛd əv ʤɪst wən. faɪl tɪ stɔr ðɪs ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən. jəp, wi kʊd, bət du ju wɔnt tɪ ˈmænjuəli ˈəpˌdeɪt ɪt ˈɛvriˌtaɪm? ˈɔlsoʊ nid tɪ dɪˈstrɪbjut tu faɪlz ˌɪnˈstɛd əv ʤɪst wən. wət əˈbaʊt ə ˈvərʒən ˈgloʊbəl ˈstrəkʧər? wɛl, bi ˈbɛtər ɛz wi wʊd ɛnd əp wɪθ ʤɪst ðə ˈbaɪnəˌri ənd noʊ faɪlz. bət ˈivɪn ðɛn, nid tɪ ˈəpˌdeɪt ðə ˈstrəkʧər ˈmænjuəli ˌbiˈfɔr iʧ bɪld. kəmˈpaɪlər flægz tɪ ðə ˈrɛskju hæv ju ˈivɪn hərd əv ðɪs kəmˈpaɪlər flæg ɪz juzd baɪ goʊ tɪ ˈoʊvərˌraɪd goʊ ˈvɛriəbəlz ɪn ɑr ˈproʊˌgræm. soʊ ɪf wi hæd ðɪs ɪn ɑr meɪn ˈpækɪʤ ˈpækɪʤ meɪn strɪŋ ɪf wi ræn goʊ bɪld "-ɛks main.saysomething=helloworld" ðə kəmˈpaɪlər wʊd sɛt tɪ ɑr waʊ! wi kʊd ˈɔlsoʊ hæv ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ goʊ koʊd. ˈpækɪʤ meɪn ˌɪmˈpɔrt "fmt" strɪŋ strɪŋ meɪn "bɪld taɪm: %ɛs "kəˈmɪt hæʃ: %ɛs ənd bɪld ɪt laɪk ðɪs. goʊ bɪld +”%”%y.%m.%d.%h%m%s””) -ɛks lɔg ––pretty=format:’%h’’ -ɛn ɛnd əp ɪf ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk ðɪs: bɪld taɪm: kəˈmɪt hæʃ: heɪ, ðɛr ɪz noʊ ˈprɑbləm ɪf ju sɛt ðɪs ˈvɛriəbəlz ˈdʊrɪŋ bɪld taɪm ɛz ðeɪ wʊd ʤɪst rɪˈmeɪn wɪθ ən ˈɛmti ˈvælju, ˈoʊˈkeɪ? ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ ˈpækɪʤɪz aɪ kʊd ɛnd ðɪs poʊst hir, bət aɪ lɛt ju goʊ wɪˈθaʊt noʊɪŋ ðɪs. ɛz ju kən si ɔn ɑr ˈpriviəs ɪgˈzæmpəl, wi hæd tɪ ˈspɛsəˌfaɪ boʊθ ðə ˈpækɪʤ meɪn ənd ˈvɛriəbəl neɪm ənd ðɪs minz ðət wi kən ˈɔlsoʊ juz ðɪs flæg tɪ ˌɪnˈʤɛkt ˈvɛriəbəlz ˈɪntu ˈpækɪʤɪz! həm, ʃoʊ mi ðə koʊd! ˈoʊˈkeɪ. ɪf wi hæv ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ˈpækɪʤ. ˈpækɪʤ ˈɪnfoʊ strɪŋ strɪŋ wi kʊd ðɛn ʧeɪnʤ ɪt baɪ ˈjuzɪŋ ðə fʊl ˈpækɪʤ pæθ, laɪk ðɪs: goʊ bɪld +”%”%y.%m.%d.%h%m%s””) -ɛks lɔg ––pretty=format:’%h’’ -ɛn ʤɪst rɪˈmɛmbər ðət ɛz wi ər ˈraɪtɪŋ ə ˈpækɪʤ ðət ɪz ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd tɪ bi ˌɪmˈpɔrtɪd ˈsəmˌwɛr ɛls, ɑr ˈvɛriəbəlz nid tɪ stɑrt wɪθ ə ˈkæpɪtəl ˈlɛtər. əˈnəðər ˈɔpʃən wʊd bi ˈlivɪŋ ðɛm ɛz ˌɪnˈtərnəl ənd ˈɪmpləmənt səm sɔrt əv tɪ hæv ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ðɛm frəm jʊr ˈpækɪʤ. ɔl fər təˈdeɪ foʊks aɪ hoʊp ðɪs tɪps kən hɛlp ju bɪld jʊr ˈbaɪnəˌriz wɪθ ˈrɪʧər ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ənd seɪv ju frəm bəg ˈhəntɪŋ

the rebirth of rye whiskey and nostalgia for 'the good stuff' enlarge this image toggle caption noah noah it used to be said that only old men drink rye, sitting alone down at the end of the bar, but that's no longer the case as bartenders and patrons set aside the and the vodkas and rediscover the pleasures of one of america's old-fashioned favorites. whiskey from rye grain was what most distilleries made before prohibition. then, after repeal in 1933, bourbon, made from corn, became more popular. corn was easier to grow, and the taste was sweeter. to be sure, rye whiskey production is only a drop compared with the rivers of bourbon produced now, although rye whiskey sales have tripled in the past five years. you can even find rye in the tiny farm town of templeton, iowa. it's said to be the same taste as the bootleg brew that templeton was known for during prohibition. they called it "the good stuff." it was popular in chicago, a favorite of al capone. templeton rye, legal these days, and sold in iowa and 11 other states, is made from a grandfather's secret recipe. the actual production, though, takes place at a distillery in shelbyville, ind., with the aged whiskey shipped to templeton for bottling. enlarge this image toggle caption noah noah enlarge this image toggle caption noah noah templeton has one block of a downtown, with the street ending at the rail line and grain elevators. on a foggy evening i could imagine what it all looked like during the early except for the bar where i had my first sip of the local rye and listened to stories about the government "revenuers" busting up stills. the feds rolled the kegs out into the hog lot and axed them open, they say. but naturally, they kept one or two for evidence. alongside the kentucky river in frankfort, ky., stand the old brick warehouses of buffalo trace distillery that's a modern name for the "oldest continually operating distillery in the united states." it was even open during prohibition, bottling pints of "medicinal" rye. now, buffalo trace makes bourbon for 17 different labels. you can look up at the dusty warehouse windows and see the barrels, aging, waiting for five, six, or seven years to pass. there are a quarter million barrels in storage. plus, there's a few hundred barrels of rye the longtime new orleans favorite. kris comstock of buffalo trace often hears from bartenders, calling from new york city, los angeles trying to find. he says the intense flavor makes it perfect for the classic cocktails. "when you mix it in a manhattan, it doesn't get diluted by the vermouth or the bitters." toggle caption noah deeper in kentucky's bluegrass region, you could meet up with chris morris, the master distiller at woodford reserve and ask him about rye. here's how he identifies the aromas that arise when the spicy rye grain is cooked and distilled: "green apple, green banana, black pepper, leather, oak, tobacco, caramel, vanilla ..." i was lucky. i'd arrived at woodford during the second of only three weeks the distillery gives over to rye production. the rest of the year, they're making the bourbon, distiller's select. (the chris morris signature is on every label.) enlarge this image toggle caption noah noah a while back, woodford decided to venture into the rye market. the first barrels, aged for seven years, will be ready in 2016 and will be called "red rye select." morris clearly enjoys the brief change. he smiles when you ask about his favorite: "i think bourbon is the best whiskey made and rye is simply different." both the bourbon and rye are made from the water from the limestone aquifer that underlies the central kentucky countryside. it's the same water the frontier settlers used centuries ago. there was a still on every homestead and that's how all this got started. a decade ago in this country you could only find six brands of rye whiskey. now there are more than 50.	ðə riˈbərθ əv raɪ ˈwɪski ənd nɔˈstælʤə fər 'ðə gʊd stəf' ˌɛnˈlɑrʤ ðɪs ˈɪmɪʤ ˈtɑgəl ˈkæpʃən noʊə noʊə ɪt juzd tɪ bi sɛd ðət ˈoʊnli oʊld mɛn drɪŋk raɪ, ˈsɪtɪŋ əˈloʊn daʊn æt ðə ɛnd əv ðə bɑr, bət ðæts noʊ ˈlɔŋgər ðə keɪs ɛz ˈbɑrˌtɛndərz ənd ˈpeɪtrənz sɛt əˈsaɪd ðə ənd ðə ˈvɑdkəz ənd ridɪˈskəvər ðə ˈplɛʒərz əv wən əv əˈmɛrɪkəz ˌoʊldˈfæʃənd ˈfeɪvərɪts. ˈwɪski frəm raɪ greɪn wɑz wət moʊst dɪˈstɪləriz meɪd ˌbiˈfɔr ˌproʊəˈbɪʃən. ðɛn, ˈæftər rɪˈpil ɪn 1933 ˈbərbən, meɪd frəm kɔrn, bɪˈkeɪm mɔr ˈpɑpjələr. kɔrn wɑz ˈiziər tɪ groʊ, ənd ðə teɪst wɑz sˈwitər. tɪ bi ʃʊr, raɪ ˈwɪski pərˈdəkʃən ɪz ˈoʊnli ə drɔp kəmˈpɛrd wɪθ ðə ˈrɪvərz əv ˈbərbən prəˈdust naʊ, ˌɔlˈðoʊ raɪ ˈwɪski seɪlz hæv ˈtrɪpəld ɪn ðə pæst faɪv jɪrz. ju kən ˈivɪn faɪnd raɪ ɪn ðə ˈtaɪni fɑrm taʊn əv ˈtɛmpəltən, ˈaɪəwə. ɪts sɛd tɪ bi ðə seɪm teɪst ɛz ðə ˈbuˌtlɛg bru ðət ˈtɛmpəltən wɑz noʊn fər ˈdʊrɪŋ ˌproʊəˈbɪʃən. ðeɪ kɔld ɪt "ðə gʊd stəf." ɪt wɑz ˈpɑpjələr ɪn ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ, ə ˈfeɪvərɪt əv æl kəˈpoʊn. ˈtɛmpəltən raɪ, ˈligəl ðiz deɪz, ənd soʊld ɪn ˈaɪəwə ənd 11 ˈəðər steɪts, ɪz meɪd frəm ə ˈgrænˌfɑðərz ˈsikrɪt ˈrɛsəpi. ðə ˈækʧəwəl pərˈdəkʃən, ðoʊ, teɪks pleɪs æt ə dɪˈstɪləri ɪn ˈʃɛlbiˌvɪl, ind., wɪθ ðə ˈeɪʤɪd ˈwɪski ʃɪpt tɪ ˈtɛmpəltən fər ˈbɑtəlɪŋ. ˌɛnˈlɑrʤ ðɪs ˈɪmɪʤ ˈtɑgəl ˈkæpʃən noʊə noʊə ˌɛnˈlɑrʤ ðɪs ˈɪmɪʤ ˈtɑgəl ˈkæpʃən noʊə noʊə ˈtɛmpəltən həz wən blɑk əv ə ˈdaʊnˈtaʊn, wɪθ ðə strit ˈɛndɪŋ æt ðə reɪl laɪn ənd greɪn ˈɛləˌveɪtərz. ɔn ə ˈfɑgi ˈivnɪŋ aɪ kʊd ˌɪˈmæʤən wət ɪt ɔl lʊkt laɪk ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˈərli ɪkˈsɛpt fər ðə bɑr wɛr aɪ hæd maɪ fərst sɪp əv ðə ˈloʊkəl raɪ ənd ˈlɪsənd tɪ ˈstɔriz əˈbaʊt ðə ˈgəvərnmənt "ˈrɛvəˌnuərz" ˈbəstɪŋ əp stɪlz. ðə fɛdz roʊld ðə kɛgz aʊt ˈɪntu ðə hɑg lɔt ənd ækst ðɛm ˈoʊpən, ðeɪ seɪ. bət ˈnæʧərəli, ðeɪ kɛpt wən ər tu fər ˈɛvədəns. əˈlɔŋˈsaɪd ðə kənˈtəki ˈrɪvər ɪn ˈfræŋkfərt, ky., stænd ðə oʊld brɪk ˈwɛˌrhaʊzɪz əv ˈbəfəˌloʊ treɪs dɪˈstɪləri ðæts ə ˈmɑdərn neɪm fər ðə "ˈoʊldəst kənˈtɪnjuəli ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ dɪˈstɪləri ɪn ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts." ɪt wɑz ˈivɪn ˈoʊpən ˈdʊrɪŋ ˌproʊəˈbɪʃən, ˈbɑtəlɪŋ paɪnts əv "məˈdɪsənəl" raɪ. naʊ, ˈbəfəˌloʊ treɪs meɪks ˈbərbən fər 17 ˈdɪfərənt ˈleɪbəlz. ju kən lʊk əp æt ðə ˈdəsti ˈwɛˌrhaʊs ˈwɪndoʊz ənd si ðə ˈbɛrəlz, ˈeɪʤɪŋ, ˈweɪtɪŋ fər faɪv, sɪks, ər ˈsɛvən jɪrz tɪ pæs. ðɛr ər ə kˈwɔrtər ˈmɪljən ˈbɛrəlz ɪn ˈstɔrɪʤ. pləs, ðɛrz ə fju ˈhənərd ˈbɛrəlz əv raɪ ðə ˈlɔŋˌtaɪm nu ˌɔˈrlinz ˈfeɪvərɪt. krɪs ˈkɑmˌstɑk əv ˈbəfəˌloʊ treɪs ˈɔfən hirz frəm ˈbɑrˌtɛndərz, ˈkɔlɪŋ frəm nu jɔrk ˈsɪti, lɔs ˈænʤəlɪs traɪɪŋ tɪ faɪnd. hi sɪz ðə ˌɪnˈtɛns ˈfleɪvər meɪks ɪt ˈpərˌfɪkt fər ðə ˈklæsɪk ˈkɑkˌteɪlz.

part 2 of the 4 part series of renal replacement therapies, dr michaela cartner (@mjcartner) from the gold coast university hospital provides an introduction to the different types of renal replacement therapy. the different modes include, and sled. crrt continuous renal replacement therapy is the most commonly used dialysis therapy in the. as the name suggests, is a slow form of dialysis that runs continuously over 24 hours. it is only indicated for and is in the for its stability and ease of operation. some limitations of are that it requires the patient to be immobile, there is a heavy nursing workload, and it requires, among other factors. ihd intermittent is usually reserved for outpatient dialysis and runs over hours multiple times a week. it is a high blood flow system which effectively removes low weight molecules and therefore require and is ideal for managing. it is less suitable for the setting due to the potential for instability, disequilibrium syndrome (dds) and the difficulties. sled sustained dialysis is midway between and. it is usually run over hours and has a moderate flow rate. it is similar to in its effectiveness in managing but have the same potential for dds, require, and maintains stability. sled is becoming more widely accepted as the modality of choice in intensive care units for its ease of use, shorter treatment time and similar mortality rates (compared with). much of the reluctance to change is due to the clinical unfamiliarity and high start-up costs.	pɑrt 2 əv ðə 4 pɑrt ˈsɪriz əv ˈrinəl rɪˈpleɪsmənt ˈθɛrəpiz, ˈdɑktər maɪˈkɛlə ˈkɑrtnər (@mjcartner) frəm ðə goʊld koʊst ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈhɑˌspɪtəl prəˈvaɪdz ən ˌɪntrəˈdəkʃən tɪ ðə ˈdɪfərənt taɪps əv ˈrinəl rɪˈpleɪsmənt ˈθɛrəpi. ðə ˈdɪfərənt moʊdz ˌɪnˈklud, ənd slɛd. kənˈtɪnjuəs ˈrinəl rɪˈpleɪsmənt ˈθɛrəpi ɪz ðə moʊst ˈkɑmənli juzd daɪˈælɪsɪs ˈθɛrəpi ɪn ðə. ɛz ðə neɪm səˈʤɛsts, ɪz ə sloʊ fɔrm əv daɪˈælɪsɪs ðət rənz kənˈtɪnjuəsli ˈoʊvər 24 aʊərz. ɪt ɪz ˈoʊnli ˈɪndəˌkeɪtɪd fər ənd ɪz ɪn ðə fər ɪts stəˈbɪlɪti ənd iz əv ˌɑpərˈeɪʃən. səm ˌlɪmɪˈteɪʃənz əv ər ðət ɪt rikˈwaɪərz ðə ˈpeɪʃənt tɪ bi ˌɪˈmoʊˌbil, ðɛr ɪz ə ˈhɛvi ˈnərsɪŋ ˈwərˌkloʊd, ənd ɪt rikˈwaɪərz, əˈməŋ ˈəðər ˈfæktərz. ˌɪntərˈmɪtənt ɪz ˈjuʒəwəli rɪˈzərvd fər ˈaʊtˌpeɪʃənt daɪˈælɪsɪs ənd rənz ˈoʊvər aʊərz ˈməltəpəl taɪmz ə wik. ɪt ɪz ə haɪ bləd floʊ ˈsɪstəm wɪʧ ˈifɛktɪvli riˈmuvz loʊ weɪt ˈmɑləˌkjulz ənd ˈðɛrˌfɔr ˌrikˈwaɪər ənd ɪz aɪˈdil fər ˈmænəʤɪŋ. ɪt ɪz lɛs ˈsutəbəl fər ðə ˈsɛtɪŋ du tɪ ðə pəˈtɛnʃəl fər ˌɪnstəˈbɪlɪti, dɪˌsikwəˈlɪbriəm ˈsɪnˌdroʊm (dds) ənd ðə ˈdɪfɪˌkəltiz. slɛd səˈsteɪnd daɪˈælɪsɪs ɪz ˈmɪdˌweɪ bɪtˈwin ənd. ɪt ɪz ˈjuʒəwəli rən ˈoʊvər aʊərz ənd həz ə ˈmɑdərˌeɪt floʊ reɪt. ɪt ɪz ˈsɪmələr tɪ ɪn ɪts ˈifɛktɪvnəs ɪn ˈmænəʤɪŋ bət hæv ðə seɪm pəˈtɛnʃəl fər dds*, ˌrikˈwaɪər, ənd meɪnˈteɪnz stəˈbɪlɪti. slɛd ɪz bɪˈkəmɪŋ mɔr ˈwaɪdli ækˈsɛptɪd ɛz ðə məˈdæləti əv ʧɔɪs ɪn ˌɪnˈtɛnsɪv kɛr ˈjunɪts fər ɪts iz əv juz, ˈʃɔrtər ˈtritmənt taɪm ənd ˈsɪmələr mɔrˈtæləti reɪts (kəmˈpɛrd wɪθ). məʧ əv ðə rɪˈləktəns tɪ ʧeɪnʤ ɪz du tɪ ðə ˈklɪnɪkəl ˌənfəˌmɪˈljɛrəti ənd haɪ ˈstɑrˌtəp kɔsts.
on monday, mayor rob ford - a series that captivated audiences both at home and south of the border - will end its run, following an abrupt cancellation notice. series star rob ford, who has portrayed the role of toronto mayor to a mixture of acclaim and derision from critics, announced in september that he won't be returning for another season. the announcement left the door open for a spinoff with his brother, supporting character doug ford, taking over the starring role of toronto mayor. however, as we get closer to the series' final episode, it's looking increasingly unlikely that the spinoff will be picked up. after a bombshell third season in 2013 that saw rob ford become a ratings juggernaut at home - including unlikely success in the u.s., where it was picked up following a storyline involving organized crime and addiction - viewers have had mixed feelings on the uneven fourth season. after a cliffhanger season finale last year saw the mayor admitting to smoking crack cocaine, viewers seemed sure that the protagonist would get his comeuppance, especially after the introduction of police chief bill blair to the storyline. instead, viewers were treated to a long hiatus in 2014, followed by a sudden stomach cancer that critics described as a ex to tie up looses. we've seen an advance screener of the series finale, set to air on monday (ed. note: spoilers follow.) john tory, the bland mayoral challenger introduced last season, ends up winning the election over rob's brother doug. rob's immediate future is unclear, as the show fades to black in a device reminiscent of the sopranos' series finale, where viewers are left guessing about our main character's fate. rob ford - a character that critics have often likened to both tony soprano and breaking bad protagonist walter white, for his mixture of brazen criminality and poignant pathos - ends the series out of the mayor's office, but seemingly recovering from cancer. while the series as a whole has addressed themes of greed, pride and megalomania, the finale seems to suggest a restoration of order - of arriving to take the slain crown, so to speak. advertisement while some viewers will no doubt find the open-ended nature of the finale compelling, others will be left expecting more from a show that once reached such lofty heights. while the first season in mostly focused on the day-to-day affairs of a bumbling who lands himself in the mayor's office almost by accident, the show slowly introduced the sort of cliffhangers and scandals for which it would later become famous. the tone of the show has also noticeably changed over the years. early on, rob ford was more of a political comedy in the vein of veep or yes minister, focusing on the mayor's pratfalls, questionable hijinks, and heavy use of stock sitcom ("we need to stop the gravy train!") gradually, as new characters were introduced such as beloved young star reporter daniel dale and sleazy criminal associate sandro lisi, the show took a darker turn. by the start of this season, which opened with rob ford's powers as mayor being removed in a tense city hall scene, viewers had become hooked on the show's blend of drama and emotional poignancy. even as some fans began seeing the show's star as a tragic hero akin to willy loman, others saw ford as more of a "love-to-hate-him" classic villain - a sociopathic, criminal narcissist, lifted up just so that we could watch him fall. in other words, more tony montana than tony soprano. and ever since season 2, fans have been waiting for the final straw that would take him down. instead, the controversial cancer storyline has mostly been forgotten by fans. doug ford, the new star of the show, has been derided as a version of the original character. compared to the way that rob ford would toe the line between pathetic poignancy and sneering, villainous contempt in classic moments such as the crack video press conference episode, doug (a fine actor in his own right) plays the role like he's performing a cheap knockoff version of his brother. although this season has been peppered with great scenes and a few classic lines ("i've got more than enough to eat at home" will go down as an all-time fan favourite), viewers never warmed to john tory as an antagonist, and the whole election storyline seems trite. advertisement it looks as though we'll never get the closure we all expected on the promising project brazen 2 storyline, or learn more about the various somali gang members that were introduced in a subplot last season. at times, viewers said they were often confused by the large ensemble cast (even avid viewers are forgiven for mixing up fabio basso with bruno bellissimo.) even guest appearances from major us stars like jimmy kimmel (rare for a canadian production), and a companion book to the series written by star writer robyn doolittle, couldn't save the show's weaker ratings this season. while the episodes and the rapid introduction of characters like mikey ford, karen and jogger offered glimpses of the show's earlier wit, they just couldn't capture the brilliance of the crack-smoking, drunk-driving, wife-swapping, offered by a classic episode like one wild night in march. advertisement in all, mayor rob ford will be remembered by fans as a slow-building, rewarding series that delivered on all cylinders when it was at its best. despite its uneven finish and a variety of loose ends in the finale, it will be a long time before canada can produce something this innovative, emotional, and dramatic again. and when we tune in on monday and the final credits roll, we'll probably miss it.	ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ, meɪər rɑb fɔrd ə ˈsɪriz ðət ˈkæptɪˌveɪtɪd ˈɔdiənsəz boʊθ æt hoʊm ənd saʊθ əv ðə ˈbɔrdər

i’m sitting on my bed, completely at peace. my soundly sleeps in the room next to ours and all is well with the world. i’m totes high. not terribly so, just enough to get me though the evening of coming home after a long day at work, loving, feeding and cleaning up after two humans and three animals. and doing it all with a smile. i start out mothering this way getting high to perform daily tasks that every mother should do in complete sobriety, laughing and smiling and comforting everyone but herself. i have always been a bit of a selfish person by nature. never been someone who shares easily i let you have a shrimp from my shrimp parm. just no. it was also the same when i became a stepmother practically overnight. hubby and i had a very short courtship and got married rather quickly. partly because i was old (40ish) and i wasting any time, partly because…well, life is too damn short. and i wanted a baby before it was too late. related story: 14 productive things to you can do after smoking marijuana fast-forward to a few years later and my life as a mom in brooklyn is as typical as it comes. i have a great husband (no, not perfect), a good career (not steady) and my littlest love: my gorgeous, perfect baby boy. parenting is never easy, not for anyone, and i care who the hell you think you are or what perfect baby you claim to have birthed. no one is perfect and we all have our bad days. in the days of online mom-shaming, not immune to judgement. but being an older mom has had many advantages, in the sense that as a woman in my 40s, i give a ass what anyone thinks of me or the way i raise my kid. yea, i gave my kid formula and frankly, none of your damn business why i did. you think too permissive in my parenting? whatever. you think i feed him hot dogs? seriously. care, never did. i am a mom who drinks. so very popular and dare i say, fashionable to be a mom that does. but difficult to maintain a full parenting schedule, with or without a job, when you drink like a fish at soccer game. how many drunk moms videos can one watch in a day? gotta love their spirit though, and their ability to not run to the nearest bar and order 50 wings on wing night after drinking all that chardonnay! i day drink, so that only leaves night drinking and my nights are short these days. related link: this is what is doing to keep people from driving high in colorado i’m mostly a mom who smokes pot. in many ways, easier than drinking. in many ways, smoking is a better way to cope than drinking. there are countless studies that say marijuana does significantly less damage than drinking. in my own home, i notice the difference. my mind immediately calms when i smoke. when i smoke, one bong hit and ready for the evening. i can cook with flair (ok, maybe a touch too much salt) and my conversation with both adult and kid are lively and entertaining. i actually enjoy everyone much more! i’m not avoiding my feelings or life issues (do bills ever go away?) but looking at it from another vantage point. on the ‘other side of the room,’ i like to think. i can get a lighter sense of the situation: why get angry over stupid shit? you came home wearing two different shoes? oh well, you must have been popular today, kiddo! you take the garbage out, honey? like i asked you to three times before i left for work? awwww, i still love you anyway, ya big lug. now, get that shit out of my house. when i drink, more of a mission. drinking to get as much of a buzz as i can, one that must be maintained continually and one that i can accidentally if not careful. talking slight hangover in the morning, not type stuff. those chicks need help. related link: 5 ways marijuana can help your relationship stay strong so, hi. marijuana mom. here for your questions, your comments, and your answers (hey, i got questions too, like, how do you not eat everything in the fridge once the munchies kick off and the are in bed?) as contemporaries in weed, like you to know that every column i write will be done under the cloud of the green leaf. i write about pot sober, because, duh, who wants to hear from me sober?	i’m* ˈsɪtɪŋ ɔn maɪ bɛd, kəmˈplitli æt pis. maɪ ˈsaʊndli slips ɪn ðə rum nɛkst tɪ ɑrz ənd ɔl ɪz wɛl wɪθ ðə wərld. toʊts haɪ. nɑt ˈtɛrəbli soʊ, ʤɪst ɪˈnəf tɪ gɪt mi ðoʊ ðə ˈivnɪŋ əv ˈkəmɪŋ hoʊm ˈæftər ə lɔŋ deɪ æt wərk, ˈləvɪŋ, ˈfidɪŋ ənd ˈklinɪŋ əp ˈæftər tu ˈjumənz ənd θri ˈænəməlz. ənd duɪŋ ɪt ɔl wɪθ ə smaɪl. aɪ stɑrt aʊt ˈməðərɪŋ ðɪs weɪ ˈgɪtɪŋ haɪ tɪ pərˈfɔrm ˈdeɪli tæsks ðət ˈɛvəri ˈməðər ʃʊd du ɪn kəmˈplit soʊˈbraɪəti, ˈlæfɪŋ ənd sˈmaɪlɪŋ ənd ˈkəmfərtɪŋ ˈɛvriˌwən bət hərˈsɛlf. aɪ hæv ˈɔlˌweɪz bɪn ə bɪt əv ə ˈsɛlfɪʃ ˈpərsən baɪ ˈneɪʧər. ˈnɛvər bɪn ˈsəmˌwən hu ʃɛrz ˈizəli aɪ lɛt ju hæv ə ʃrɪmp frəm maɪ ʃrɪmp parm. ʤɪst noʊ. ɪt wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ðə seɪm wɪn aɪ bɪˈkeɪm ə ˈstɛpˌməðər ˈpræktɪkəli ˈoʊvərˈnaɪt. ˈhəbi ənd aɪ hæd ə ˈvɛri ʃɔrt ˈkɔˌrʧɪp ənd gɑt ˈmɛrid ˈrəðər kˈwɪkli. ˈpɑrtli bɪˈkəz aɪ wɑz oʊld 40ish) ənd aɪ ˈweɪstɪŋ ˈɛni taɪm, ˈpɑrtli because…well, laɪf ɪz tu dæm ʃɔrt. ənd aɪ ˈwɔntɪd ə ˈbeɪbi ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt wɑz tu leɪt. rɪˈleɪtɪd ˈstɔri: 14 pərˈdəktɪv θɪŋz tɪ ju kən du ˈæftər sˈmoʊkɪŋ ˌmɛrəˈwɑnə ˌfæstˈfɔrwərd tɪ ə fju jɪrz ˈleɪtər ənd maɪ laɪf ɛz ə mɑm ɪn ˈbrʊklɪn ɪz ɛz ˈtɪpɪkəl ɛz ɪt kəmz. aɪ hæv ə greɪt ˈhəzbənd (noʊ, nɑt ˈpərˌfɪkt), ə gʊd kərɪr (nɑt ˈstɛdi) ənd maɪ ˈlɪtələst ləv: maɪ ˈgɔrʤəs, ˈpərˌfɪkt ˈbeɪbi bɔɪ. ˈpɛrəntɪŋ ɪz ˈnɛvər ˈizi, nɑt fər ˈɛniˌwən, ənd aɪ kɛr hu ðə hɛl ju θɪŋk ju ər ər wət ˈpərˌfɪkt ˈbeɪbi ju kleɪm tɪ hæv birthed. noʊ wən ɪz ˈpərˌfɪkt ənd wi ɔl hæv ɑr bæd deɪz. ɪn ðə deɪz əv ˈɔnˌlaɪn mom-shaming, nɑt ˌɪmˈjun tɪ ˈʤəʤmənt. bət biɪŋ ən ˈoʊldər mɑm həz hæd ˈmɛni ædˈvæntɪʤɪz, ɪn ðə sɛns ðət ɛz ə ˈwʊmən ɪn maɪ 40s, aɪ gɪv ə æs wət ˈɛniˌwən θɪŋks əv mi ər ðə weɪ aɪ reɪz maɪ kɪd. jeɪ, aɪ geɪv maɪ kɪd ˈfɔrmjələ ənd ˈfræŋkli, nən əv jʊr dæm ˈbɪznɪs waɪ aɪ dɪd. ju θɪŋk tu pərˈmɪsɪv ɪn maɪ ˈpɛrəntɪŋ?

united nations (reuters) - muslim allies of saudi arabia piled pressure on u.n. chief ban over the blacklisting of a coalition for killing children in yemen, with riyadh threatening to cut palestinian aid and funds to other u.n. programs, diplomatic sources said on tuesday. u.n. ban speaks during the opening ceremony of the world humanitarian summit in istanbul, turkey, may 23, 2016. the united nations announced on monday it had removed the coalition from a child rights blacklist - released last week - pending a joint review by the world body and the coalition of cases of child deaths and injuries during the war in yemen. that removal prompted angry reactions from human rights groups, which accused ban of caving in to pressure from powerful countries. they said that ban, currently in the final year of his second term, risked harming his legacy as u.n.. speaking on condition of anonymity, the sources said office was bombarded with calls from gulf arab foreign ministers, as well as ministers from the organisation of islamic cooperation (oic), after the blacklisting was announced last week. one u.n. official spoke of a “full-court press” over the blacklisting. “bullying, threats, pressure,” another diplomatic source told reuters on condition of anonymity about the reaction to the blacklisting, adding that it was “real blackmail.” the source said there was also a threat of “clerics in riyadh meeting to issue a fatwa against the u.n., declaring it anti-muslim, which would mean no contacts of members, no relations, contributions, support, to any u.n. projects, programs.” a fatwa is a legal opinion used in islamic sharia law. in saudi arabia can only be issued by the group of top, clerics and are sometimes commissioned by the ruling family to back up its political positions. responding to the allegations, saudi u.n. ambassador abdallah said “we use threats or intimidation,” and riyadh was “very committed to the united nations.” mouallimi denied any threat of a possible fatwa. “that’s ridiculous, outrageous,” he said, adding that the meeting of saudi clerics was to approve and issue a statement condemning the blacklisting of the coalition. on monday described the annual u.n. report on states and armed groups that violate child rights in war as “wildly exaggerated” and demanded that it be corrected. the main saudi complaints were that the u.n. had not based its report on information supplied by the yemeni government and accused the world body of not consulting with the coalition. u.n. spokesman stephane, however, said on tuesday that the saudis had been consulted. several diplomatic sources said that the u.n. relief and works agency for palestine refugees in the near east (unrwa) would be hit especially hard if the blacklisting were upheld. saudi arabia was the fourth biggest donor to after the united states, european union and britain, having supplied it nearly $100 million last year. coalition members kuwait and united arab emirates are also key donors for, together supplying nearly $50 million in 2015. in addition to saudi arabia, said that jordan, united arab emirates and bangladesh contacted office to protest the listing of the coalition. diplomats said egypt, kuwait and qatar also complained to office. the coalition includes saudi arabia, uae, bahrain, kuwait, qatar, egypt, jordan, morocco, senegal and sudan. there was no indication that the united states or any other western saudi allies encouraged the u.n. to reverse the blacklisting of the coalition. the u.n. report on children and armed conflict said the coalition was responsible for 60 percent of child deaths and injuries in yemen last year, killing 510 and wounding 667. u.s. state department spokesman mark toner said he was not aware that the united states had contacted the u.n. about the report. “we take very seriously the protection of children in armed conflict in yemen ... and continue to urge all sides in the conflict in yemen to protect civilians and comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law,” toner said. dujarric said the removal of the coalition was pending a review of child casualties in yemen and could be reversed, though said the deletion was “irreversible and unconditional.” jordan’s u.n. ambassador dina described her complaint to the u.n. chief. “the report was accusing the coalition and of course we are a part of it,” she said. “so my (foreign) minister did contact the and did voice his opinion that the report was biased and that they need to look into it.” bangladesh’s mission told reuters that their foreign minister contacted office prior to the reversal while on an official visit to saudi arabia. one diplomatic source familiar with the situation said the saudi fury was to be expected, adding that “the (secretary-general’s) reaction to the was disappointing.” several diplomats cited the u.n. decision not to blacklist israel last year over child casualties in the gaza strip after the israeli and u.s. governments lobbied ban hard, saying that it was clear the current u.n. chief was vulnerable to threats. another diplomatic source said the recent spat between the u.n. and morocco over use of the term “occupation” to describe presence in the disputed territory of western sahara had set a bad precedent. he noted that when morocco demanded the expulsion of dozens of civilian staff in the u.n. peacekeeping mission there earlier this year, the u.n. security council failed to rally behind ban with a strong show of support. that, he added, set a dangerous precedent for the world 193 member states. “the message was clear,” the diplomatic source said. “if you get tough with the, the security council going to come to his aid.”	juˈnaɪtɪd ˈneɪʃənz (ˈrɔɪtərz) ˈməzlɪm ˈælaɪz

late show with david letterman led to some of letterman's highest late-night viewership. madonna's heavily censored appearance to some of letterman's highest late-night viewership. madonna made an appearance on late show with david letterman on march 31, 1994. the appearance was noted for an extremely controversial series of statements and antics by madonna, which included many expletives. in particular, madonna said the word "fuck" fourteen times during the course of the interview. this made the episode the most censored in american network television history while at the same time garnering letterman some of the best ratings he ever] madonna's language and was provocative, seemingly spontaneous at times, full of double entendres, and ended with a playful refusal to leave the a large public] the federal communications commission received numerous complaints about the language used on the show, echoing letterman's (sarcastic) remark that she had to stop using the bad language "because people don't want that in their own homes at at night". details [ edit ] this was not madonna's first or last appearance with letterman. she was a guest on late night with david letterman in 1988 with comedian sandra bernhard. this was, however, her first appearance since letterman moved from nbc to cbs in 1993. when madonna was a guest on the march 31, 1994 edition of the late show, it marked her first appearance on american television that year. letterman introduced madonna right before she entered the set in this manner: our first guest tonight is one of the biggest stars in the world, and in the past 10 years she has sold over 80 million albums, starred in countless films and slept with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. paul shaffer responded "she's your guest! ... come on, she's your guest!" to which letterman responded, "everything's fine, just relax, will ya?" madonna then entered the stage to the sound of her 1983 hit "holiday", clutching a pair of her underwear, which she asked letterman to smell during the interview. "wait a minute, aren't you gonna smell them?" she said, to which letterman replied "i'll take care of that later," and madonna complained to the audience "i gave him my underpants and he won't smell] this sketch made the headlines of the] the sketch was in 2001 in the italian late night show satyricon, where guest anna actually took off her red panties on stage, and the host went all the way to smell them, which caused scandal in] letterman, following up from events earlier in the program, asked her to kiss a man in the audience; madonna refused. letterman expressed admiration for her not succumbing to the pressure. madonna began smoking a cigar, and as he moved to another topic, madonna interrupted him, in an opening salvo soon to be indicative of the random provocations to come: "incidentally, you are a sick fuck. i don't know why i get so much shit." letterman steered his questioning toward her private life and, in particular, the singer's reported relationships with several nba players. madonna replied with a series of sexual innuendos, commenting "that [overhead] microphone is really long"; letterman responded by talking about her friendship with charles barkley. when letterman abruptly changed topic and asked about her nose ring in an ambiguous way ("did it hurt when you had that thing put in, uh, put in your nose?"), madonna laughed and said "i thought you were going to ask me if it hurt something else ..." which spurred a collective series of nervous laughter from the studio audience. prior to the first commercial break (which madonna objected to, citing that she wanted to "break the rules" and not conform to the constraints of american network television), the star asked letterman if he was wearing a "rug"; never missing the opportunity for a joke, the host, referring to madonna's short hairstyle, replied by asking madonna if she was wearing a swim cap. after the commercial break, madonna told letterman that he had changed since her last visit, that he was no longer "cool" or challenging to his guests, that "money's made you] letterman asked her what was really bothering her; the star told the audience that she was angry that the comedian always (in letterman's words "periodically") made references to her sex life on the show. toward the end of the interview, she also asked whether he had ever smoked "endo," a slang reference to marijuana. looking uncomfortable, the host told the singer that he had no idea what she was talking about; madonna called him a liar which led letterman to make light of the embarrassing question by acting like johnny carson. refusal to leave the stage [ edit ] when madonna refused to leave the] there was jeering from members of the audience, including heckling to "get off". the home audience never saw madonna leave her chair; instead, the show cut to a third commercial break, after which the singer was gone. letterman said, "coming up in the next half hour, mother teresa is going to drop by." he then looked at an index card and joked, "oh, i see we've been canceled, there is no show tomorrow night." another guest, who was the united states grocery bagging champion at the time, was scheduled to appear on the show that evening, but his segment was cut, due to madonna refusing to leave the stage when her interview was over. counting crows concluded the show with a performance of "round here". aftermath [ edit ] madonna later explained her behavior as a failed attempt to make a stand against television censorship, and made up with letterman by having him escort her onstage at the 1994 mtv video music awards. in an interview with bob guccione, jr. in spin magazine in the fall of 1995, madonna further defended herself: you can show a person getting blown up, and you can't say 'fuck'? it's such hypocrisy. the fact that everyone counted how many fucks i small minded is that? ... the other thing that was ridiculous was that david letterman knew i was going to do it. i talked to the producers of the show. everybody was like, this will be really funny if you say "fuck" a lot they'll just keep bleeping you. well, i came out and started doing it, and david freaked out. the way he introduced me was derogatory, so my whole thing was, okay, if that's how you want to play it, you cannot beat me at this] in a subsequent interview with usa today, letterman noted how madonna sent him a fax on his birthday, shortly after the episode aired. "it was more of the same," he revealed. "'happy fucking birthday. have a nice fucking day.' i know she was trying to be funny about] the fax sent april 12, 1994, reads: happy fucking birthday dave! glad you could get so much mileage out of the fucking show. next time you need some fucking publicity, just give me a fucking call. love the m.] the incident was widely referenced in popular culture. for example, in an episode of the critic titled "sherman, woman and child", madonna is featured as a profane guest of humphrey the hippo, a parody of barney &] in the space ghost coast to coast episode "bobcat," comedian bobcat sarcastically comments to the character that space interview with the "is going as well as the] letterman referred to the incident frequently in the short term afterward, usually as a disaster, even though it was a ratings bonanza. in one example, while raising the topic of madonna's appearance, he added the subordinate clause: "... or as i call it, black thursday ..." subsequent appearances [ edit ] following the incident, madonna's appearances on letterman did not end. madonna briefly appeared in a 1995 episode when she brought letterman candy and flowers for valentine's day. she then proclaimed that, "i'm a changed woman since i met you," to which letterman excitedly exclaimed, "yes!" madonna then went on to add, "and i'm not going to say 'fuck' anymore." and in 1998, madonna appeared briefly to announce number three on letterman's top ten list that night "ten things beautiful women love about dave." madonna returned on november 3, 2000, for her first interview with letterman since the notorious 1994 incident to promote her new album, music. the two of them discussed the previous interview, with a deal of humor and objectivity. madonna chalked it up as a part of her "rebellious period", while letterman admitted that he now understood how beaten up madonna must have felt by the press during that time and that he contributed to that. madonna then concluded that they were both having a "weak moment", which was met by laughter from both the audience and letterman. before the singer took stage to perform her latest single, "don't tell me", letterman jokingly admitted that, "i still have the panties. we had to put them in the vault upstairs, because people were trying to swipe them from me." an uncomfortable madonna declared that, "i won't rise to that bait." madonna guested again on november 11, 2003 to promote her children's book, mr. peabody's apples. before she entered, letterman stated he "just didn't want any awkward moments." on january 11, 2007, madonna appeared on letterman to promote her latest movie, arthur and the invisibles. the two joked about the 1994 infamous episode. when david asked madonna, "what do you think about all these celebrities such as britney spears, not wearing their underwear?", madonna replied, "it's freezing outside. maybe you can give them to britney." madonna appeared for the last time on september 30, 2009 to promote her latest release, the greatest hits compilation celebration. during this episode, letterman and madonna again made light of her appearance on the show in 1994. the episode concluded with letterman and madonna going down the street and sharing a vegetarian pizza (minus cheese at madonna's request) and martinis together. references [ edit ]	leɪt ʃoʊ wɪθ ˈdeɪvɪd ˈlɛtərmən lɛd tɪ səm əv ˈlɛtərmənz

this week we report on the continuing debate about female ejaculation: is it real, and if so why does it happen? see: everything you always wanted to know about female ejaculation (but were afraid to ask) ejaculation is just one of the aspects of female sexuality that are being by research. in particular, the female orgasm, the subject of so many myths and folk beliefs, is gradually being understood. following some intense field research, here are some of the key facts about the female orgasm, as revealed by modern science. advertisement the g spot is real the g spot is a small region in the vagina that, if stimulated, can produce wildly intense orgasms or so the popular claim goes. however, for decades, strong evidence for the existence was harder to find than the spot itself. however, in 2008, an italian research team found anatomical differences between women who could have orgasms and women who couldn’t; apparently solving the mystery. the researchers have since begun teaching women with g spots how to put them to use. see: ultrasound nails location of the elusive g spot the brain switches off it’s folk wisdom that people think straight when they have sex on their minds, but when women have an orgasm most of their brains switch off. a brain scanning study showed that many areas of brains were deactivated during orgasm, including those involved in emotion. the effect was less striking in men, but that may be because male orgasms are so short they are hard to detect in a brain scan. see: orgasms: a real for women many women have orgasms according to a 1999 survey, around 43 per cent of women in the us have some sort of problem with their sex lives (journal of the american medical association, 281, page 537). female sexual dysfunction (fsd) is so common that the very idea that it is a medical disorder has come under attack. if nearly half the female population has a problem, say critics, does that mean it is our society that is dysfunctional? even so, efforts to develop drugs to treat it are underway. the impotence drug viagra has had mixed results in women, but there are many other avenues being explored. see: what women want genes affect orgasm frequency according to the first genetic study of the female orgasm, up to 45 per cent of the variation in ability to have them could be down to genes. many women never have orgasms during intercourse, and some also cannot have them through masturbation. some of this may be down to external factors like upbringing, but the study showed the genetic factor is significant. see: genes blamed for fickle female orgasm technology can help perhaps the most extreme solution is the so-called “orgasmatron”; an implant inserted into the spinal cord, which stimulates the user when switched on via a remote control. despite an initial struggle to find subjects for clinical testing, the device is now in development. see: push my button some mystery remains the female orgasm is a puzzle for evolutionary biologists. it is unclear why women should have orgasms at all, and it is particularly baffling that so many women should be unable to have orgasms during sex, but able to have them by masturbation. according to researcher elisabeth lloyd, that implies that female orgasms are an evolutionary accident. like male nipples, they persist simply because there is no good reason to get rid of them. see: the case of the female orgasm	ðɪs wik wi rɪˈpɔrt ɔn ðə kənˈtɪnjuɪŋ dəˈbeɪt əˈbaʊt ˈfiˌmeɪl iˌʤækjuˈleɪʃən: ɪz ɪt ril, ənd ɪf soʊ waɪ dɪz ɪt ˈhæpən?

“fowl running at large” is a local ordinance that get used much nowadays, but it was enforced following an unusual incident near columbia pike over the weekend. an animal control officer was called to an address on s. barton street on saturday evening for a report of a runaway peacock. after a brief search, the officer found and captured the rogue peacock and located its owner, who was issued a ticket for the aforementioned “fowl running at large” violation. the peacock and its owner may have an even bigger problem than the “at large” charge, which is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $100. the animal welfare league of arlington, which runs the animal control program, said they notified the county zoning department which enforces the prohibition on keeping fowl in most residential yards about the incident. flickr photo by sadie hart	““fowl* ˈrənɪŋ æt large”” ɪz ə ˈloʊkəl ˈɔrdənəns ðət gɪt juzd məʧ ˈnaʊəˌdeɪz, bət ɪt wɑz ɛnˈfɔrst ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ən ənˈjuˌʒuəl ˈɪnsədənt nɪr kəˈləmbiə paɪk ˈoʊvər ðə ˈwiˌkɪnd. ən ˈænəməl kənˈtroʊl ˈɔfɪsər wɑz kɔld tɪ ən ˈæˌdrɛs ɔn ɛs. ˈbɑrtən strit ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ ˈivnɪŋ fər ə rɪˈpɔrt əv ə ˈrənəˌweɪ ˈpiˌkɑk. ˈæftər ə brif sərʧ, ðə ˈɔfɪsər faʊnd ənd ˈkæpʧərd ðə roʊg ˈpiˌkɑk ənd ˈloʊˌkeɪtəd ɪts ˈoʊnər, hu wɑz ˈɪʃud ə ˈtɪkɪt fər ðə əˈfɔrˌmɛnʃənd ˈrənɪŋ æt large”” vaɪəˈleɪʃən. ðə ˈpiˌkɑk ənd ɪts ˈoʊnər meɪ hæv ən ˈivɪn ˈbɪgər ˈprɑbləm ðən ðə large”*” ʧɑrʤ, wɪʧ ɪz ə ˌmɪsdəˈminər ˈpənɪʃəbəl baɪ ə faɪn əp tɪ 100 ðə ˈænəməl ˈwɛlˌfɛr lig əv ˈɑrlɪŋtən, wɪʧ rənz ðə ˈænəməl kənˈtroʊl ˈproʊˌgræm, sɛd ðeɪ ˈnoʊtəˌfaɪd ðə ˈkaʊnti ˈzoʊnɪŋ dɪˈpɑrtmənt wɪʧ ɛnˈfɔrsɪz ðə ˌproʊəˈbɪʃən ɔn ˈkipɪŋ faʊl ɪn moʊst ˌrɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl jɑrdz əˈbaʊt ðə ˈɪnsədənt. ˈflɪkər ˈfoʊˌtoʊ baɪ ˈsædi hɑrt
this is the (mirrored) face of 2016 cruze for north america that will be presented on june 24. we say ‘mirrored’ because original picture only showed half of the compact face, so we used digital means to mirror the other half. compared to the 2016 chevrolet cruze that had its debut in april of 2014, the north american features some styling changes including the shape of the grille and headlamps, as well as the hood. chevrolet had previously shared some photos of the interior to showcase the infotainment system with a standard or optional screen that will work with both apple and android auto. gm said that the new cruze will “build on the current success” offering a larger yet lighter body, with new technologies, new engines and transmissions, and additional available safety features “that will bring a higher level of sophistication to the compact car segment”. while chevrolet will present the car later this month, it go on sale in the states until early 2016. in addition to lordstown, ohio plant, the new cruze will also be manufactured at the revamped facility in mexico and in china. photo gallery	ðɪs ɪz ðə (ˈmɪrərd) feɪs əv 2016 kruz fər nɔrθ əˈmɛrɪkə ðət wɪl bi pərˈzɛnəd ɔn ʤun 24 wi seɪ ‘‘mirrored’’ bɪˈkəz ərˈɪʤənəl ˈpɪkʧər ˈoʊnli ʃoʊd hæf əv ðə ˈkɑmpækt feɪs, soʊ wi juzd ˈdɪʤɪtəl minz tɪ ˈmɪrər ðə ˈəðər hæf. kəmˈpɛrd tɪ ðə 2016 ˌʃɛvroʊˈleɪ kruz ðət hæd ɪts ˈdeɪbju ɪn ˈeɪprəl əv 2014 ðə nɔrθ əˈmɛrɪkən ˈfiʧərz səm ˈstaɪlɪŋ ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðə ʃeɪp əv ðə grɪl ənd headlamps, ɛz wɛl ɛz ðə hʊd. ˌʃɛvroʊˈleɪ hæd ˈpriviəsli ʃɛrd səm ˈfoʊˌtoʊz əv ðə ˌɪnˈtɪriər tɪ ˈʃoʊˌkeɪs ðə ˌɪnfoʊˈteɪnmənt ˈsɪstəm wɪθ ə ˈstændərd ər ˈɔpʃənəl skrin ðət wɪl wərk wɪθ boʊθ ˈæpəl ənd ˈænˌdrɔɪd ˈɔtoʊ. sɛd ðət ðə nu kruz wɪl ɔn ðə ˈkɑrənt success”” ˈɔfərɪŋ ə ˈlɑrʤər jɛt ˈlaɪtər ˈbɑdi, wɪθ nu tɛkˈnɑləʤiz, nu ˈɛnʤənz ənd trænzˈmɪʃənz, ənd əˈdɪʃənəl əˈveɪləbəl ˈseɪfti ˈfiʧərz wɪl brɪŋ ə haɪər ˈlɛvəl əv səˌfɪstəˈkeɪʃən tɪ ðə ˈkɑmpækt kɑr segment””. waɪl ˌʃɛvroʊˈleɪ wɪl ˈprɛzənt ðə kɑr ˈleɪtər ðɪs mənθ, ɪt goʊ ɔn seɪl ɪn ðə steɪts ənˈtɪl ˈərli 2016 ɪn əˈdɪʃən tɪ ˈlɔrdzˌtaʊn, oʊˈhaɪoʊ plænt, ðə nu kruz wɪl ˈɔlsoʊ bi ˌmænjəˈfækʧərd æt ðə riˈvæmpt fəˈsɪlɪti ɪn ˈmɛksəˌkoʊ ənd ɪn ˈʧaɪnə. ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ˈgæləri
i once worked with a retired professional chef, who gave me the best cooking advice ever received; “life is too short to cook with cheap knives.” until then, been buying cheap knives, and getting cheap results. i then discovered the wonder that are global knives. knives that are sharp enough to shave with, but even with the best knives, they get dull over time. rather than dropping $10-20 each time to sharpen them, i learned how to do it myself, and now sharpen all my knives once a year, all for the cost of a $20 whetstone. i use a stone (the number is the grit, like sandpaper), but you can get coarser or finer stones. keep in mind this technique will not work on serrated blades, or ones without a flat edge. what need: a whetstone a cutting board step 1: wet the whetstone take the whetstone, and drop it in a bowl of water big enough to completely submerge the stone in water. leave it there at least 5 minutes, until the stone is full of water. place the stone on your cutting board, and start with the grit up. step 2: find the blade angle lay your knife flat against the stone, and then push down on the cutting edge of the blade to find out what the angle of the blade edge is. you want to hold the blade against the stone at that angle, so you sharpen the edge that already exists, rather than grinding a new edge. the dark grey you see on the stone in the vine is part of the steel being ground away, and the blue is the stone being ground away. this is why you only sharpen when you need it because grinding off part of the blade. step 3: sharpen away! holding the blade at the angle of the edge, push the blade across the stone, as if you were cutting a thin piece off the top of the stone. make sure you run the blade from the handle to the tip so you get an even edge. do 5 times on one side, toward you, then 5 times on the other side, away from you. repeat until most of the notches on your blade are gone. step 4: get finer move up in grit to the finer grit once you have a smooth angle. this will help hone the blade, and smooth out the edge. “but i have one of those sharpening steels with my knife set, i need this!” yeah, what i thought too. chef dude told me that sharpening steels do not actually sharpen the blade, they just make it straighter. as you use your knife, the blade gets knocked out of whack on a microscopic level, and a steel helps to straighten it between sharpenings, but make it sharper.	aɪ wəns wərkt wɪθ ə rɪˈtaɪrd prəˈfɛʃənəl ʃɛf, hu geɪv mi ðə bɛst ˈkʊkɪŋ ədˈvaɪs ˈɛvər rɪˈsivd; ɪz tu ʃɔrt tɪ kʊk wɪθ ʧip knives.”.” ənˈtɪl ðɛn, bɪn baɪɪŋ ʧip naɪvz, ənd ˈgɪtɪŋ ʧip rɪˈzəlts. aɪ ðɛn dɪˈskəvərd ðə ˈwəndər ðət ər ˈgloʊbəl naɪvz. naɪvz ðət ər ʃɑrp ɪˈnəf tɪ ʃeɪv wɪθ, bət ˈivɪn wɪθ ðə bɛst naɪvz, ðeɪ gɪt dəl ˈoʊvər taɪm. ˈrəðər ðən ˈdrɑpɪŋ iʧ taɪm tɪ ˈʃɑrpən ðɛm, aɪ ˈlərnɪd haʊ tɪ du ɪt ˌmaɪˈsɛlf, ənd naʊ ˈʃɑrpən ɔl maɪ naɪvz wəns ə jɪr, ɔl fər ðə kɔst əv ə 20 ˈwɛtˌstoʊn. aɪ juz ə stoʊn (ðə ˈnəmbər ɪz ðə grɪt, laɪk ˈsændˌpeɪpər), bət ju kən gɪt ˈkɔrsər ər ˈfaɪnər stoʊnz. kip ɪn maɪnd ðɪs tɛkˈnik wɪl nɑt wərk ɔn ˈsɛˌreɪtɪd bleɪdz, ər wənz wɪˈθaʊt ə flæt ɛʤ. wət nid: ə ˈwɛtˌstoʊn ə ˈkətɪŋ bɔrd stɛp 1 wɛt ðə ˈwɛtˌstoʊn teɪk ðə ˈwɛtˌstoʊn, ənd drɔp ɪt ɪn ə boʊl əv ˈwɔtər bɪg ɪˈnəf tɪ kəmˈplitli səbˈmərʤ ðə stoʊn ɪn ˈwɔtər. liv ɪt ðɛr æt list 5 ˈmɪnəts, ənˈtɪl ðə stoʊn ɪz fʊl əv ˈwɔtər. pleɪs ðə stoʊn ɔn jʊr ˈkətɪŋ bɔrd, ənd stɑrt wɪθ ðə grɪt əp. stɛp 2 faɪnd ðə bleɪd ˈæŋgəl leɪ jʊr naɪf flæt əˈgɛnst ðə stoʊn, ənd ðɛn pʊʃ daʊn ɔn ðə ˈkətɪŋ ɛʤ əv ðə bleɪd tɪ faɪnd aʊt wət ðə ˈæŋgəl əv ðə bleɪd ɛʤ ɪz. ju wɔnt tɪ hoʊld ðə bleɪd əˈgɛnst ðə stoʊn æt ðət ˈæŋgəl, soʊ ju ˈʃɑrpən ðə ɛʤ ðət ɔˈrɛdi ɪgˈzɪsts, ˈrəðər ðən ˈgraɪndɪŋ ə nu ɛʤ. ðə dɑrk greɪ ju si ɔn ðə stoʊn ɪn ðə vaɪn ɪz pɑrt əv ðə stil biɪŋ graʊnd əˈweɪ, ənd ðə blu ɪz ðə stoʊn biɪŋ graʊnd əˈweɪ. ðɪs ɪz waɪ ju ˈoʊnli ˈʃɑrpən wɪn ju nid ɪt bɪˈkəz ˈgraɪndɪŋ ɔf pɑrt əv ðə bleɪd. stɛp 3 ˈʃɑrpən əˈweɪ! ˈhoʊldɪŋ ðə bleɪd æt ðə ˈæŋgəl əv ðə ɛʤ, pʊʃ ðə bleɪd əˈkrɔs ðə stoʊn, ɛz ɪf ju wər ˈkətɪŋ ə θɪn pis ɔf ðə tɔp əv ðə stoʊn. meɪk ʃʊr ju rən ðə bleɪd frəm ðə ˈhændəl tɪ ðə tɪp soʊ ju gɪt ən ˈivɪn ɛʤ. du 5 taɪmz ɔn wən saɪd, təˈwɔrd ju, ðɛn 5 taɪmz ɔn ðə ˈəðər saɪd, əˈweɪ frəm ju. rɪˈpit ənˈtɪl moʊst əv ðə ˈnɑʧɪz ɔn jʊr bleɪd ər gɔn. stɛp 4 gɪt ˈfaɪnər muv əp ɪn grɪt tɪ ðə ˈfaɪnər grɪt wəns ju hæv ə smuð ˈæŋgəl. ðɪs wɪl hɛlp hoʊn ðə bleɪd, ənd smuð aʊt ðə ɛʤ. aɪ hæv wən əv ðoʊz ˈʃɑrpənɪŋ stilz wɪθ maɪ naɪf sɛt, aɪ nid this!”!” jæ, wət aɪ θɔt tu. ʃɛf dud toʊld mi ðət ˈʃɑrpənɪŋ stilz du nɑt ˈæˌkʧuəli ˈʃɑrpən ðə bleɪd, ðeɪ ʤɪst meɪk ɪt ˈstreɪtər. ɛz ju juz jʊr naɪf, ðə bleɪd gɪts nɑkt aʊt əv wæk ɔn ə ˌmaɪkrəˈskɑpɪk ˈlɛvəl, ənd ə stil hɛlps tɪ ˈstreɪtən ɪt bɪtˈwin sharpenings*, bət meɪk ɪt ˈʃɑrpər.
a push to get immigration data up on deadline resulted in the details of asylum seekers being published on the department of immigration and border website by mistake, has found. in february , the full names, nationalities, locations, arrival dates, and boat arrival information of nearly asylum seekers housed both on the australian mainland and christmas island was accidentally published online by the department, and was only removed after alerted to the breach by the guardian. around 90 of the asylum seekers lodged cases in the federal court against the department claiming that the breach exposed them to persecution in their home countries, and therefore they were entitled to automatic protection. a number of those claims have so far been dismissed. in a report from's investigation into the breach published (pdf) by the department this week, it was revealed that the immigration detention and community statistics summary word document was published on the department's website in early february, and was accessed 123 times from 104 ip addresses before being pulled down. although the department declined to reveal the extent of the breach, it said that the document was accessed by a "range of sources" including media organisations, australian government departments, internet proxies, tor network, and web crawlers. the confidential asylum seeker data was pulled to produce the analysis for the document, and should have been removed prior to publication, but said that factors contributing to the data breach may have included "time pressures, unfamiliarity with certain functionality of microsoft word, lack of awareness of roles and responsibilities, and limited awareness of it security risks associated with online publishing." the report found that the data set is usually extracted from the data warehouse automatically, but in this instance it was done manually to meet a target publication date of february 10. the data was then imported into microsoft excel for analysis by one member of the department, before charts and tables made from excel were then transferred into a word document by another staff member who had not previously prepared the monthly document. there were a number of clearance hurdles for the document to go through before being published, including a number of amendments made to the document and the underlying excel template. found that the private data was accidentally included at one point during the amendment stage, but was not picked up through any of the final checking processes. kpmg said that the reviews were performed predominantly on a version of the document, and were mainly only checked against the department's style guide for spelling and grammar. the authors were not aware of how to check for it security risks, the report noted. "authors and were generally unaware that the it security risk which led to this incident, could occur and were therefore not mindful of checking for indicators of this risk," the report stated. meeting government accessibility requirements also played a role, noted. the monthly summary used to only be produced in format, but to meet the accessibility requirements for the visually impaired, the department made the decision to produce a word document version of the report, too, but staff were unaware of the security risks publishing in word format might entail. kpmg has recommended that the department improve data processes, update its online publishing quality assurance checks, and train staff in correct online publishing methods.	ə pʊʃ tɪ gɪt ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ˈdætə əp ɔn ˈdɛˌdlaɪn rɪˈzəltɪd ɪn ðə ˈditeɪlz əv əˈsaɪləm ˈsikərz biɪŋ ˈpəblɪʃt ɔn ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ənd ˈbɔrdər ˈwɛbˌsaɪt baɪ mɪˈsteɪk, həz faʊnd. ɪn ˈfɛbruˌɛri ðə fʊl neɪmz, ˌnæʃəˈnælɪtiz, loʊˈkeɪʃənz, ərˈaɪvəl deɪts, ənd boʊt ərˈaɪvəl ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əv ˈnɪrli əˈsaɪləm ˈsikərz haʊzd boʊθ ɔn ðə ɔˈstreɪljən ˈmeɪnˌlænd ənd ˈkrɪsməs ˈaɪlənd wɑz ˌæksəˈdɛnəli ˈpəblɪʃt ˈɔnˌlaɪn baɪ ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt, ənd wɑz ˈoʊnli riˈmuvd ˈæftər əˈlərtɪd tɪ ðə briʧ baɪ ðə ˈgɑrdiən. əraʊnd 90 əv ðə əˈsaɪləm ˈsikərz lɑʤd ˈkeɪsɪz ɪn ðə ˈfɛdərəl kɔrt əˈgɛnst ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt ˈkleɪmɪŋ ðət ðə briʧ ɪkˈspoʊzd ðɛm tɪ ˌpərsəˈkjuʃən ɪn ðɛr hoʊm ˈkəntriz, ənd ˈðɛrˌfɔr ðeɪ wər ɛnˈtaɪtəld tɪ ˌɔtəˈmætɪk prəˈtɛkʃən. ə ˈnəmbər əv ðoʊz kleɪmz hæv soʊ fɑr bɪn dɪsˈmɪst. ɪn ə rɪˈpɔrt frəm ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən ˈɪntu ðə briʧ ˈpəblɪʃt (pdf) baɪ ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt ðɪs wik, ɪt wɑz rɪˈvild ðət ðə ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən dɪˈtɛnʃən ənd kəmˈjunɪti stəˈtɪstɪks ˈsəməri wərd ˈdɑkjəmɛnt wɑz ˈpəblɪʃt ɔn ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənts ˈwɛbˌsaɪt ɪn ˈərli ˈfɛbruˌɛri, ənd wɑz ˈækˌsɛst 123 taɪmz frəm 104 ˌaɪˌpi ˈæˈdrɛsɪz ˌbiˈfɔr biɪŋ pʊld daʊn. ˌɔlˈðoʊ ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt dɪˈklaɪnd tɪ rɪˈvil ðə ɪkˈstɛnt əv ðə briʧ, ɪt sɛd ðət ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt wɑz ˈækˌsɛst baɪ ə "reɪnʤ əv ˈsɔrsəz" ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈmidiə ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃənz, ɔˈstreɪljən ˈgəvərnmənt dɪˈpɑrtmənts, ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈprɑksiz, tɔr ˈnɛtˌwərk, ənd wɛb crawlers. ðə ˌkɑnfəˈdɛnʃəl əˈsaɪləm ˈsikər ˈdætə wɑz pʊld tɪ ˈproʊdus ðə æˈnælɪsɪs fər ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt, ənd ʃʊd hæv bɪn riˈmuvd praɪər tɪ ˌpəblɪˈkeɪʃən, bət sɛd ðət ˈfæktərz kənˈtrɪbjutɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈdætə briʧ meɪ hæv ˌɪnˈkludɪd "taɪm ˈprɛʃərz, ˌənfəˌmɪˈljɛrəti wɪθ ˈsərtən ˌfəŋkʃəˈnælɪti əv ˈmaɪˌkroʊˈsɔft wərd, læk əv əˈwɛrnəs əv roʊlz ənd riˌspɑnsəˈbɪlətiz, ənd ˈlɪmɪtɪd əˈwɛrnəs əv ɪt sɪˈkjʊrəti rɪsks əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ ˈɔnˌlaɪn ˈpəblɪʃɪŋ." ðə rɪˈpɔrt faʊnd ðət ðə ˈdætə sɛt ɪz ˈjuʒəwəli ɛkˈstræktɪd frəm ðə ˈdætə ˈwɛˌrhaʊs ˌɔtəˈmætɪkli, bət ɪn ðɪs ˈɪnstəns ɪt wɑz dən ˈmænjuəli tɪ mit ə ˈtərgət ˌpəblɪˈkeɪʃən deɪt əv ˈfɛbruˌɛri 10 ðə ˈdætə wɑz ðɛn ˌɪmˈpɔrtɪd ˈɪntu ˈmaɪˌkroʊˈsɔft ɪkˈsɛl fər æˈnælɪsɪs baɪ wən ˈmɛmbər əv ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt, ˌbiˈfɔr ʧɑrts ənd ˈteɪbəlz meɪd frəm ɪkˈsɛl wər ðɛn ˈtrænsfərd ˈɪntu ə wərd ˈdɑkjəmɛnt baɪ əˈnəðər stæf ˈmɛmbər hu hæd nɑt ˈpriviəsli priˈpɛrd ðə ˈmənθli ˈdɑkjəmɛnt. ðɛr wər ə ˈnəmbər əv ˈklɪrəns ˈhərdəlz fər ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt tɪ goʊ θru ˌbiˈfɔr biɪŋ ˈpəblɪʃt, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ə ˈnəmbər əv əˈmɛndmənts meɪd tɪ ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt ənd ðə ˌəndərˈlaɪɪŋ ɪkˈsɛl ˈtɛmplət. faʊnd ðət ðə ˈpraɪvət ˈdætə wɑz ˌæksəˈdɛnəli ˌɪnˈkludɪd æt wən pɔɪnt ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə əˈmɛndmənt steɪʤ, bət wɑz nɑt pɪkt əp θru ˈɛni əv ðə ˈfaɪnəl ˈʧɛkɪŋ ˈprɑsɛsəz. sɛd ðət ðə rəvˈjuz wər pərˈfɔrmd ˌprɪˈdɑmənənˌtli ɔn ə ˈvərʒən əv ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt, ənd wər ˈmeɪnli ˈoʊnli ʧɛkt əˈgɛnst ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənts staɪl gaɪd fər ˈspɛlɪŋ ənd ˈgræmər. ðə ˈɔθərz wər nɑt əˈwɛr əv haʊ tɪ ʧɛk fər ɪt sɪˈkjʊrəti rɪsks, ðə rɪˈpɔrt ˈnoʊtɪd.

a new study published thursday in the journal science has determined that if organic carbon in deep layers of soil warms at a rate similar to surface layers it could result in a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide emissions by the end of the century, if not sooner. according to research by scientists at the department of energy's lawrence berkeley national laboratory, deeper stores of carbon are more sensitive to warming than previously thought. "our calculations suggest that by 2100 the warming of deeper soil layers could cause a release of carbon to the atmosphere at a rate that is significantly higher than today, perhaps even as high as 30% of today's annual carbon emissions depending on the assumptions on which the estimate is based," said caitlin hicks pries, a postdoctoral researcher in berkeley lab's climate and ecosystem sciences division. "we did not expect the warmed soils to lose about 35% more carbon than the control soils, especially since this experiment occurred during california's drought." to conduct the study, the scientists set up a soil research station in the foothills of california's sierra nevada mountains, which represent temperate forest soils; a category that makes up nearly 14% of the total soil area worldwide. here they built six small soil plots and rung them each with heating cables sunk more than six feet underground. then they warmed three of the plots celsius (7.2° farenheit) for more than two years and monitored soil respiration for the duration of the experiment using several different approaches. using a "business-as-usual" scenario, intergovernmental panel on climate change simulations of global average soil temperature predict that soil will warm celsius by 2100. advertisement the researchers found that of the 34 to 37% increase in released at the three warmed plots, 40% of the increase was due to that came from below 15 centimeters. hicks told fusion the researchers were surprised by the magnitude of the soil's response to warming. advertisement "we did not expect the warmed soils to lose about 35% more carbon than the control soils, especially since this experiment occurred during california's drought, which we expected would reduce the response," she said. the implications of this study, the first to extensively look at carbon stocks in soil below 20 centimeters in contain more than 50% of the planet's organic extremely worrisome, according to the study: the results shed light on what is potentially a big source of uncertainty in climate projections. soil organic carbon harbors three times as much carbon as earth's atmosphere. in addition, warming is expected to increase the rate at which microbes break down soil organic carbon, releasing more into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. advertisement co-author margaret torn said the research the assumption that carbon in "subsoil" is more stable to warming than that in topsoil. "deeper soil layers contain a lot of carbon, and our work indicates it's a key missing component in our understanding of the potential feedback of soils to the planet's climate," she said in a statement. hicks explained the difference between positive feedback to climate change and negative feedback, and how this makes the cumulative impact of warmer soil harder to determine. advertisement "this study shows that soils are potentially a larger positive feedback to climate change than expected because soil carbon stored in deeper soils is similarly responsive to warming as surface soils," she said. "thus there is the potential that warmer soils will put more into the atmosphere, which would increase climate there is also the possibility that warming will enhance plant growth, which would take out of the atmosphere. we did not measure that plant response, so without knowing how the plants respond, we cannot definitively say what this will mean for climate change." hicks said they are in the process of starting a global network of soil warming experiments in order to test the response of deeper soils in different soils and ecosystems. studies predicting global warming over the rest of the century show that a celsius average increase could occur as soon as 2060, and is likely by 2100 if drastic actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions aren't taken. the planet has already warmed more than celsius above levels and carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise above the 400 threshold that scientists initially warned as being catastrophic.	ə nu ˈstədi ˈpəblɪʃt ˈθərzˌdeɪ ɪn ðə ˈʤərnəl saɪəns həz dɪˈtərmənd ðət ɪf ɔrˈgænɪk ˈkɑrbən ɪn dip leɪərz əv sɔɪl wɔrmz æt ə reɪt ˈsɪmələr tɪ ˈsərfəs leɪərz ɪt kʊd rɪˈzəlt ɪn ə drəˈmætɪk ˌɪnˈkris ɪn ˈkɑrbən daɪˈɑkˌsaɪd ɪˈmɪʃənz baɪ ðə ɛnd əv ðə ˈsɛnʧəri, ɪf nɑt ˈsunər. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈrisərʧ baɪ ˈsaɪəntɪsts æt ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈɛnərʤiz ˈlɔrəns ˈbərkli ˈnæʃənəl ˈlæbrəˌtɔri, ˈdipər stɔrz əv ˈkɑrbən ər mɔr ˈsɛnsɪtɪv tɪ ˈwɔrmɪŋ ðən ˈpriviəsli θɔt.

the president of the royal british legion could be stripped of his role and a crackdown on lobbying of the ministry of defence imposed following claims that former senior military personnel boasted of their access to ministers, senior civil servants and top officers. philip hammond, the defence secretary, has launched an immediate review of rules governing access to ministers and serving officers to "shut down" meetings that could be seen as inappropriate. labour demanded the mod disclose whether any of the individuals had "met any mod officials dealing with any defence equipment contracts". though hammond insisted no contracts had been awarded as a result of outside influence, he said some of the allegations made in the sunday times were "deeply damaging to the individuals concerned and their reputations". in an undercover sting, reporters from the sunday times approached several former senior members of the military purporting to be representatives of from a south korean defence firm seeking to sell an unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone, to the military. those fooled included lieutenant general sir john, president of the royal british legion; lord, former head of the army; admiral trevor soar, former head of the royal navy fleet; lieutenant general richard applegate, a former head of procurement at the ministry of defence; lord stirrup, former chief of the defence staff, and general sir mike jackson, former head of the army. during meetings that were secretly filmed, said his role at the legion gave him access to important figures in defence, and described the annual festival of remembrance as "a tremendous networking opportunity". at other events he found himself "standing there waiting for the queen with nothing else to talk about to philip hammond than whatever", he is recorded as telling the reporters. he also claimed he would be having christmas with the armed forces minister, andrew robathan. this was denied by the ministry of defence. general applegate is alleged to have said he had successfully lobbied for an israeli defence firm, even though he was banned from doing so under the rules set out by the advisory committee on business appointments (acoba). these say former defence personnel cannot lobby for two years after they have retired. lord said he could speak to the top civil servant, jon thompson, a former school friend. admiral soar suggested he could ignore rules if he was described as a consultant rather than a lobbyist. they all deny wrongdoing. the royal british legion said on sunday it would undertake an investigation regarding's position. director general chris simpkins, said the legion had "a code of conduct that addresses the issue of conflict of interest. the honorary position of national president falls within this code and should not be used for commercial gain or in order to gain access to politicians and senior military figures for purposes unrelated to his position as national president." though simpkins insisted the lists of guests for the festival of remembrance was not influenced by the national president, he said the matter would be referred to the governance committee for review. "the findings of the governance committee will be reported to the board of trustees for any necessary action," he added. the mod inquiry, which will start on monday, will seek to establish whether soar and applegate broke the rules. hammond said tougher regulation of meetings between serving and former military personnel might be necessary, which may lead to the extension of the "purdah''. "there are many, many reasons why it is sensible for the mod to maintain contact with retired officers. they are often asked [by the media] to comment on things that are going on in the defence area. " but if they are abusing that access for commercial purposes then we will have to tighten it up or maybe even shut it down. that is something we will now look at. clearly at least one, possibly more, of the individuals named were still under the terms of the restriction that applies after they have left the service. "if we find that people are not abiding by the advice they are given then we will need to look at whether there are steps we can take to shut down their access to ministers and officials." he accused some former officers of up their capabilities", though he also warned arms firms that use lobbyists. "the kind of lobbying being talked about here will damage them rather than benefit them former military officers have no influence over what mod contracts are awarded." a senior defence official added: "one wonders what these arms firms think they are getting for their money." the advisory committee which has faced demands to be broken up and replaced with a more powerful watchdog with powers to punish rule breaches said the allegations were "serious" and should be urgently investigated. "we are drawing them urgently to the attention of ministers, the head of the civil service and the permanent secretary at the ministry of defence for them to consider what action they might take." in a statement, lord said he had "never been asked to lobby and have no intention of lobbying. in my experience lobbying is invariably counter-productive." he said it was "entirely appropriate" for retired senior officers to use their previous experience to advise private companies, but added: "i have no intention, no inclination, and certainly no plans, to engage in lobbying activity that would contravene the rules prohibiting contact between private companies in the final stages of bidding for government contracts, and the officials in charge." lord stirrup said the story had given a "totally false picture" of what he was saying he could do. "i was interested because they were purporting to be developing technologies that could save people's lives. i said i could facilitate conversations with people in the military. i did not offer to lobby anyone on their behalf." sthe shadow defence secretary, jim murphy, said: "these are grave allegations that have to be fully investigated. we need to know every detail, every meeting and every contact between those recorded in this video and those still serving in the mod. "the government must have full disclosure about any dealings between these retired distinguished officers and government ministers, civil servants or senior members of the armed forces."	ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt əv ðə rɔɪəl ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˈliʤən kʊd bi strɪpt əv hɪz roʊl ənd ə ˈkrækˌdaʊn ɔn ˈlɑbiɪŋ əv ðə ˈmɪnɪstri əv dɪˈfɛns ˌɪmˈpoʊzd ˈfɑloʊɪŋ kleɪmz ðət ˈfɔrmər ˈsinjər ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˌpərsəˈnɛl ˈboʊstɪd əv ðɛr ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈmɪnɪstərz, ˈsinjər ˈsɪvəl ˈsərvənts ənd tɔp ˈɔfɪsərz. ˈfɪlɪp ˈhæmənd, ðə dɪˈfɛns ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri, həz lɔnʧt ən ˌɪˈmiˌdiət ˌrivˈju əv rulz ˈgəvərnɪŋ ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈmɪnɪstərz ənd ˈsərvɪŋ ˈɔfɪsərz tɪ "ʃət daʊn" ˈmitɪŋz ðət kʊd bi sin ɛz ˌɪnəˈproʊpriɪt. ˈleɪbər dɪˈmændɪd ðə mɔd dɪˈskloʊz ˈwɛðər ˈɛni əv ðə ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz hæd "mɛt ˈɛni mɔd əˈfɪʃəlz ˈdilɪŋ wɪθ ˈɛni dɪˈfɛns ɪkˈwɪpmənt ˈkɑnˌtrækts". ðoʊ ˈhæmənd ˌɪnˈsɪstɪd noʊ ˈkɑnˌtrækts hæd bɪn əˈwɔrdɪd ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt əv ˈaʊtˈsaɪd ˈɪnfluəns, hi sɛd səm əv ðə ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz meɪd ɪn ðə ˈsənˌdi taɪmz wər "ˈdipli ˈdæmɪʤɪŋ tɪ ðə ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz kənˈsərnd ənd ðɛr ˌrɛpjəˈteɪʃənz". ɪn ən ˌəndərˈkəvər stɪŋ, rɪˈpɔrtərz frəm ðə ˈsənˌdi taɪmz əˈproʊʧt ˈsɛvərəl ˈfɔrmər ˈsinjər ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri pərˈpɔrtɪŋ tɪ bi ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz əv frəm ə saʊθ ˌkɔˈriən dɪˈfɛns fərm ˈsikɪŋ tɪ sɛl ən ənˈmænd ˈɛriəl ˈviɪkəl, ər droʊn, tɪ ðə ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri. ðoʊz fuld ˌɪnˈkludɪd luˈtɛnənt ˈʤɛnərəl sər ʤɑn, ˈprɛzɪdənt əv ðə rɔɪəl ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˈliʤən; lɔrd, ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv ðə ˈɑrmi; ˈædmərəl ˈtrɛvər sɔr, ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv ðə rɔɪəl ˈneɪvi flit; luˈtɛnənt ˈʤɛnərəl ˈrɪʧərd ˈæpəlˌgeɪt, ə ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv proʊˈkjʊrmənt æt ðə ˈmɪnɪstri əv dɪˈfɛns; lɔrd stərəp, ˈfɔrmər ʧif əv ðə dɪˈfɛns stæf, ənd ˈʤɛnərəl sər maɪk ˈʤæksən, ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv ðə ˈɑrmi. ˈdʊrɪŋ ˈmitɪŋz ðət wər ˈsikrɪtli fɪlmd, sɛd hɪz roʊl æt ðə ˈliʤən geɪv ɪm ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt ˈfɪgjərz ɪn dɪˈfɛns, ənd dɪˈskraɪbd ðə ˈænjuəl ˈfɛstɪvəl əv riˈmɛmbrəns ɛz "ə trɪˈmɛndəs ˈnɛtˌwərkɪŋ ˌɑpərˈtunəti". æt ˈəðər ɪˈvɛnts hi faʊnd hɪmˈsɛlf "ˈstændɪŋ ðɛr ˈweɪtɪŋ fər ðə kwin wɪθ ˈnəθɪŋ ɛls tɪ tɔk əˈbaʊt tɪ ˈfɪlɪp ˈhæmənd ðən ˌwəˈtɛvər", hi ɪz rɪˈkɔrdɪd ɛz ˈtɛlɪŋ ðə rɪˈpɔrtərz. hi ˈɔlsoʊ kleɪmd hi wʊd bi ˈhævɪŋ ˈkrɪsməs wɪθ ðə ɑrmd ˈfɔrsɪz ˈmɪnɪstər, ˈændru robathan. ðɪs wɑz dɪˈnaɪd baɪ ðə ˈmɪnɪstri əv dɪˈfɛns. ˈʤɛnərəl ˈæpəlˌgeɪt ɪz əˈlɛʤd tɪ hæv sɛd hi hæd səkˈsɛsfəli ˈlɑbid fər ən ˌɪzˈreɪli dɪˈfɛns fərm, ˈivɪn ðoʊ hi wɑz bænd frəm duɪŋ soʊ ˈəndər ðə rulz sɛt aʊt baɪ ðə ædˈvaɪzəri kəˈmɪti ɔn ˈbɪznɪs əˈpɔɪntmənts (acoba). ðiz seɪ ˈfɔrmər dɪˈfɛns ˌpərsəˈnɛl ˈkænɑt ˈlɑbi fər tu jɪrz ˈæftər ðeɪ hæv rɪˈtaɪrd. lɔrd sɛd hi kʊd spik tɪ ðə tɔp ˈsɪvəl ˈsərvənt, ʤɑn ˈtɑmsən, ə ˈfɔrmər skul frɛnd. ˈædmərəl sɔr səˈʤɛstɪd hi kʊd ˌɪgˈnɔr rulz ɪf hi wɑz dɪˈskraɪbd ɛz ə kənˈsəltənt ˈrəðər ðən ə ˈlɑbiəst. ðeɪ ɔl dɪˈnaɪ ˈrɔŋduɪŋ. ðə rɔɪəl ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˈliʤən sɛd ɔn ˈsənˌdi ɪt wʊd ˈəndərˌteɪk ən ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən rɪˈgɑrdɪŋ pəˈzɪʃən. dɪˈrɛktər ˈʤɛnərəl krɪs ˈsɪmpkɪnz, sɛd ðə ˈliʤən hæd "ə koʊd əv ˈkɑndəkt ðət ˈæˈdrɛsɪz ðə ˈɪʃu əv ˈkɑnflɪkt əv ˈɪntəˌrɛst. ðə ˈɑnərˌɛri pəˈzɪʃən əv ˈnæʃənəl ˈprɛzɪdənt fɔlz wɪˈθɪn ðɪs koʊd ənd ʃʊd nɑt bi juzd fər kəˈmərʃəl geɪn ər ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ geɪn ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˌpɑləˈtɪʃənz ənd ˈsinjər ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˈfɪgjərz fər ˈpərpəsɪz ˌənrɪˈleɪtɪd tɪ hɪz pəˈzɪʃən ɛz ˈnæʃənəl ˈprɛzɪdənt." ðoʊ ˈsɪmpkɪnz ˌɪnˈsɪstɪd ðə lɪsts əv gɛsts fər ðə ˈfɛstɪvəl əv riˈmɛmbrəns wɑz nɑt ˈɪnfluənst baɪ ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈprɛzɪdənt, hi sɛd ðə ˈmætər wʊd bi rɪˈfərd tɪ ðə ˈgəvərnəns kəˈmɪti fər ˌrivˈju.

alberta health services has shut down an edmonton company that was operating without government approval. "we thought we were immune to their jurisdiction," said kian, who launched his company called scarf in september. "we didn't expect it to escalate to that extreme level right away." parseyan said there was a mix of "sadness, disappointment and anger" from cooks and customers when scarf stopped operating last month after receiving a order. alberta health services wouldn't confirm such an order was sent. "we didn't expect it to escalate to that extreme level right away," said. "they wouldn't talk to us." parseyan's online venture matched edmonton home cooks with people who could pre-order, and pick up meals for about $11. despite warnings from ahs in october, scarf continued to operate. "the operator's actions were unfortunate, and put ahs in a position of taking legal steps to protect (the) public," wrote the health authority in an online blog monday titled "public health inspectors are here to protect you." "ahs attempted to work with the operator of scarf; however, despite explaining the significant risk that this operation would pose to albertans, the operator chose to proceed and launch the website, without approval of either ahs or the government of alberta." ahs said people who operate or work for an unapproved food business could be sued or fined. while he doesn't blame officials, said the process has revealed a gap between the growing shared economy and what he described as the current practice of regulating it little by little. "it's absolutely not going to work with a sharing economy," said, who is now looking for a new job as he works on selling the software platform. "they have to get in front of this and try to regulate the entire sharing economy as a whole." he figured he has lost about about $60,000 in the venture, including start up costs, expenses, and a year of unpaid work. "we took a risk," said. "we knew we were always taking a risk with this. and taking a risk is the most edmonton thing you can do, right?"	ælˈbərtə hɛlθ ˈsərvɪsɪz həz ʃət daʊn ən ˈɛdməntən ˈkəmpəˌni ðət wɑz ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ wɪˈθaʊt ˈgəvərnmənt əˈpruvəl.

planning a wedding is no small task. if just started planning your wedding, then probably already feeling overwhelmed. so much to arrange, buy, and coordinate. getting married is an exciting, beautiful time, but planning the wedding itself can be a hassle. if you need a breath of fresh air as you plan, add the following ten things to your checklist. knowing what to decide, and when to decide it, can make your wedding planning an easier experience. the budget one of the first things to figure out before your wedding day is your budget. some brides might have enough to create a wedding, but probably working with much less. necessity is the mother of invention, and weddings are often sweeter, friendlier, and more unique. before you make any of the following decisions, you need to know what working with. are you on your own? are your parents contributing? are your in-laws contributing? collect your data and stick to your budget. the tone every wedding has a different tone, and before you start the rest of your plans, you should decide what the tone of your wedding will be. are you going for country? regal? you might want to set up bounce houses and serve food carnival-style, or you might opt to have guests seated indoors with white linen and silver. the rest of your plans will revolve around the tone going for, so decide with your partner what you want your wedding to feel like. this marquee from cap will definitely help you to underline the tone of your special day. do you want to break every tradition in the book, or do you want to celebrate in a way? the size next up: you have to decide how big you want your wedding to be. guest lists get complicated since if you invite this person you should technically invite that person. remember that not every guest will make it, especially if your wedding is out of town. if you need a small wedding, see how much you can limit your guest size. if size an issue, make sure you can find a reception venue to fit everyone on your list. the reception venue the toughest part of wedding planning, for many, is finding the reception venue. if a place is not too expensive, ugly or already booked. probably have to think outside the box when planning your wedding. if got plenty of time before the big day, pick the venue asap and book it. if you have a shorter engagement, look at park shelters, big backyards, or church basements, and find your supplies at a place like this event rental company in randall, oh. where guests will stay you might be in the same city as most of your guests, but every wedding involves a few attendees. if planning a destination wedding, it will be even more important to plan accommodations. offer a hotel discount for guests, send them a list of nearby motels, or encourage camping or for the more adventurous folks. one touch you could consider is to provide your guests with an emailed list or binder of local restaurants and things to do while in town. depending on where you end up tying the knot, your guests could remember your wedding not just because of the beautiful ceremony but also because they had the chance to surf hawaii or had an enjoyable experience in north bend, or while they waited for the wedding to begin. who’s walking you down the aisle if a bride, probably considering having someone walk you down the aisle. if you and your father have a good relationship, probably ask him, but you may be estranged or he may be deceased. that makes your decision more complicated. choosing your mom instead is always a worthy solution, and you might also pick a relative, mentor, or sibling to walk with you. you can even walk down the aisle alone. or maybe you want to take this opportunity to find out more about your testing in new york can help uncover who your parents and grandparents are if they been part of your life before now. a wedding offers a great opportunity to dig into your heritage and bring your family together! the music the music at your wedding might seem like a small decision, but more complicated than it sounds. if chosen a traditional tone for your wedding, your music should lean towards the classical side. on the other hand, if going all-out on breaking traditions, you might have rock music at the wedding ceremony. you also have to choose between live music (a friend a pianist or a full band) and playing recordings. make sure you have someone experienced working sound if you choose recordings, and cut down the songs to where you want them so you run into any bugs. the dress if a bride, deciding on your dress might be a huge part of your wedding day. you may have some idea of what looking for, or you may have no idea at all. remember to choose your dress based on what you ultimately want: if you want a style less flattering than another, but you feel right, go for it. let friends or family talk you out of the dress really hoping for. on the other hand, stick to your budget! not worth getting in debt over an outfit (hopefully) only wear once. who’s running the show before your big day, pick someone (besides you) to keep things running smoothly. this might be an aunt, the maid of honor, a friend, or a professional. you should be able to enjoy every moment of your wedding day without worrying about what comes next. make a good plan, and then let it go. designate someone responsible whom you trust to deal with any disasters and keep the wedding running according to plan. the honeymoon last, but not least, the final decision you have to make is where to spend your honeymoon. some couples choose to spend more money on their wedding and take a modest honeymoon; other couples want the exact opposite. decide with your partner more important to you, and make sure you include that in your budget. once you know your budget, you can start looking for the perfect destination. do you want a cabin in the woods? a castle in ireland? combine both of your interests and passions to choose the perfect honeymoon spot. even though weddings certainly require a good amount of planning, in the end, you will remember yours as one of the most magical and special days of your life. once you break down the event into these categorical to-do’s, the whole thing is way less overwhelming and way more enjoyable. remember to think ahead, stick to your own tastes and preferences, and, of course, have fun!	ˈplænɪŋ ə ˈwɛdɪŋ ɪz noʊ smɔl tæsk. ɪf ʤɪst ˈstɑrtɪd ˈplænɪŋ jʊr ˈwɛdɪŋ, ðɛn ˈprɑbəˌbli ɔˈrɛdi ˈfilɪŋ ˌoʊvərˈwɛlmd. soʊ məʧ tɪ əreɪnʤ, baɪ, ənd koʊˈɔrdəˌneɪt. ˈgɪtɪŋ ˈmɛrid ɪz ən ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ, ˈbjutəfəl taɪm, bət ˈplænɪŋ ðə ˈwɛdɪŋ ˌɪtˈsɛlf kən bi ə ˈhæsəl. ɪf ju nid ə brɛθ əv frɛʃ ɛr ɛz ju plæn, æd ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ tɛn θɪŋz tɪ jʊr ˈʧɛˌklɪst. noʊɪŋ wət tɪ ˌdɪˈsaɪd, ənd wɪn tɪ ˌdɪˈsaɪd ɪt, kən meɪk jʊr ˈwɛdɪŋ ˈplænɪŋ ən ˈiziər ɪkˈspɪriəns. ðə ˈbəʤɪt wən əv ðə fərst θɪŋz tɪ ˈfɪgjər aʊt ˌbiˈfɔr jʊr ˈwɛdɪŋ deɪ ɪz jʊr ˈbəʤɪt. səm braɪdz maɪt hæv ɪˈnəf tɪ kriˈeɪt ə ˈwɛdɪŋ, bət ˈprɑbəˌbli ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ məʧ lɛs. nəˈsɛsɪti ɪz ðə ˈməðər əv ˌɪnˈvɛnʃən, ənd ˈwɛdɪŋz ər ˈɔfən sˈwitər, ˈfrɛndliər, ənd mɔr juˈnik. ˌbiˈfɔr ju meɪk ˈɛni əv ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ dɪˈsɪʒənz, ju nid tɪ noʊ wət ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ. ər ju ɔn jʊr oʊn?

vancouver, business ontario and quebec, two largest provinces, recently released their fall updates on the state of government finances. the updates highlight a marked distinction in the progress that each province has made in terms of deficit reduction. whereas ontario continues to run large budget deficits, quebec is on track to eliminate its deficit and return to a balanced budget this year. as a result, debt burden continues to grow and will soon be, on a basis, larger than. government debt can pose serious economic problems. a robust body of research finds that high levels of government indebtedness hinder long-term economic growth. in the short term, growing debt can require more government revenue to pay interest on servicing past debt rather than important spending programs such as health care and education, or even tax relief. ontario and quebec currently spend between nine and 10 cents out of every government revenue dollar on debt service payments. a growing debt burden could cause the share to rise, other things equal. let’s be clear: neither province is a model of fiscal prudence. they are, after all, two most indebted provinces. and longstanding fiscal problems are well-documented. in fact, net debt (after adjusting for financial assets) is projected to be per cent of this year, the highest among all provinces and american states. although the province continues to carry a large debt burden, there are encouraging signs that quebec may finally have turned a corner, with the recent fiscal update projecting that the province will balance its books for the first time since the recession and then run a string of balanced budgets. with its annual deficit eliminated, quebec is now in a position to begin reducing its debt burden. the situation in ontario is markedly different. ontario expects to run a cumulative $12 billion deficit this fiscal year and next. the government says it will finally balance the budget in but its plan to do so remains precarious and unlikely, as its own financial accountability office has noted. even taking the hopeful projections at face value, ontario will continue to rack up debt in the coming years so much so that ontario will soon overtake quebec in terms of net debt per person. in, net debt burden reached $19,329, approximately $4,400 higher than. that gap has shrunk considerably and is projected to be just $1,100 this year. the latest government projections suggest the gap will continue to shrink next year and then, in, net debt will finally exceed at $22,647. while debt burden remains substantial, will soon be larger. and again, the projections for ontario are likely optimistic. if the hopeful forecasts do not come to pass, debt per person will grow even larger. examining the debt burden in each province relative to the size of the economy provides further evidence of ontario converging quickly with quebec. net debt as a share of is projected to fall from its current level of per cent to per cent by. meanwhile, ontario expects its ratio to hover very close to its current 40 per cent level for the near term. quebec is hardly a paragon of fiscal virtue, but its recent progress has enabled the new government to start a discussion about tax reform including a commitment to reduce the general corporate tax rate. ontario, on the other hand, continues to enact new tax increases. while quebec certainly has more work to get its fiscal house in order, ontario is headed on a path that will see its per person debt burden exceed that of la belle province. ben eisen is

list of roms for popular devices find your android update! [updated daily] it’s been a while since android has been out. if you have a nexus device which is currently supported, you already have your taste of the latest android in most cases. but if you are a user, you would be lucky if your even promised you an update, let alone deliver it so soon already. this is where the developer community comes in groups of talented individuals working together to achieve the common cause of getting the latest android onto devices before the can, and in many cases, because the. with the large amount of unofficial builds of android and 14 builds rolling in, it was a good idea to to create a big list of devices that have already tasted the dessert success. sony sony compact: this is from outside of our forums, but from a reputable source. the free project team has uploaded a few test builds for quite a few sony devices, and the compact (aries) has one too. in fact, the devices that they have covered with a test build so far are: z1 (honami) z1 compact (amami) z ultra (togari) z2 (sirius) z2 tablet (castor) z2 tablet wifi (castor_windy) z3 (leo) z3 compact (aries) z3 tablet compact (scorpion) z3 tablet compact wifi (scorpion_windy) z4 tablet (karin) z4 tablet wifi (karin_windy) z5 (sumire) z5 premium (satsuki) z5 compact (suzuran) x (suzu) progress on devices differ and was largely undocumented, so users would have to try out the builds on their own. we’d like to give our thanks to the free project team, and equally to sony. sony actively facilitated developers in the task of bringing android n to its devices, thanks to their contributions to open source. heck, they even have guides to build android (aosp!!!) for their device, along with providing binaries for the code that they cannot release. this makes sony devices dominate this list of devices with android builds so early into release. granted, these builds have a nature to them, but they meant for the average user at all. added: zr: a build without working camcorder. definitely something, keep track of it! added:: if you wait, you can find this rom, albeit it has issues with charging and the camera among other bugs. sony: android builds: early alpha release for the, camera is disabled and fingerprint does not work. surprisingly, other important features like and wifi do work, so progress is good. added: l: this 2013 champion has received an experimental android rom, with a decent list of working features, but issues with audio, media playback, storage and rotation. added: sp: the sp, another 2013 champ, has received android with various working features, except for a broken camcorder. make sure to read the thread before flashing! added: m: the alpha 2 build for the m comes with many tested features, with the camcorder and during boot being the exceptions. still an alpha build, but this 2013 device is still kicking! added: v: initial builds for the v are also live. this is unofficial, so expect bugs. oneplus oneplus 3: unofficial 14 builds: early alpha build, has plenty of bugs like broken and camera. not recommended for daily driver. oneplus x: a very early build of 14 has landed on the device. all that works is that the device boots. most features crash, so the rom is good as a proof-of-concept. oneplus 2: builds are now available for unofficial 14. the alert slider has issues, the rest are good to go. oneplus one: a fairly decent build of is available for the device. the bug list has been shortened since we last reported on it, now being restricted to disk encryption, being permissive, missing gestures and poorer gps performance. android one devices: unofficial alpha is available for android one devices. everything is reportedly working except video recording and cellular data. moto motorola moto g: one of the most surprising entrants in this list is this budget device that was released with android. developers have a working alpha build of 14, with mentions of most basic features (ril, display, gpu) working. motorola moto g 2014: 14 has arrived for the device. impressively, the only major bug is the video recorder not working. motorola moto g 2015: the device now has a publicly available build of. the bug list includes issues with the camcorder, and being permissive. otherwise, it looks like a good early build. moto x (2014): alpha for the device, victara, is out now. the bug list is siginificant, and includes camera and sound, making it unfit for daily usage. moto e 2015: both the and variants of the device have android! moto e: the first gen moto e now also has its first builds! bug list includes video recording and dual sim issues. nexus lg nexus 5: the nexus 5 gets a mention in here despite being a nexus is because of the end of its official support this year. but being a nexus, there quite a few android roms for the device. the first builds that landed on the device have received a slew of updates that have shrunk down the “broken” list. it should not be long until these become stable builds, as is usually the case with nexus devices. added: galaxy nexus: the galaxy nexus also has a working rom, more stable than many on this list. nexus 4: the old, lovely glass little phone also has a rom, with various working features and a camera. nexus never dies!

requirements are a publicly available download link, and a booting state at minimum. please do mention a link. we merely link to existing threads, so if the thread can not be found, it is unlikely to appear here.	lɪst əv rɑmz fər ˈpɑpjələr dɪˈvaɪsɪz faɪnd jʊr ˈænˌdrɔɪd ˈəpˌdeɪt!

jamie, 22, who plays hogwarts bully vincent crabbe in the hit film series, downed the bubbly after it was looted from a ransacked store moments earlier, it was said. waylett was caught on camera during the third day of last summer's civil disorder as violence erupted in chalk farm, north london, on august 8, wood green crown court heard. he was first spotted dashing across chalk farm road at after a gang smashed in the front windows of a supermarket, said prosecutor. 'moments later, he accepted a bottle of sparkling wine from a friend who is also seen on the footage carrying a number of bottles,' she added. around 90 minutes later, was again spotted on the cctv with his hood up and could be seen trying to cover the lower part of his face with a scarf, the court heard. his companions also had masked faces. 'he was picked up by cctv two minutes later. he and other members of his group were carrying petrol bombs,' said ms. waylett, who is believed to be good friends with fellow harry potter stars daniel radcliffe and rupert grint, was arrested after a 'painstaking' review of camden council cctv footage. in interview he told police he was 'fascinated' by the disorder, but denied taking part in violence. 'he agreed he had been handed a bottle of champagne to drink out of and at one point covered his face after spotting acquaintances,' said ms. 'he also agreed he had been carrying a petrol bomb and said he was asked by other people to carry it. he had some trouble with them in the past and felt obliged to comply.' but he insisted that he had no intention of using the petrol bomb and had thrown it in a nearby rubbish bin, she added. 'the prosecution say he appears to have travelled to camden from his home to join in and play his part in the civil disorder,' ms said. 'his handling of the petrol bomb is sufficient of his intention that evening.' dressed in dark suit and light blue shirt, and sporting a shaven head and goatee beard,, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address during the hearing. he appeared in six harry potter films before his character was written out in the final deathly hallows instalment. waylett, of west hampstead, north west london, denies having an article with intent to destroy or damage property - an under the criminal damage act - and violent disorder.	ˈʤeɪmi, 22 hu pleɪz ˈhɑgˌwɔrts ˈbʊli ˈvɪnsɪnt kræb ɪn ðə hɪt fɪlm ˈsɪriz, daʊnd ðə ˈbəbəli ˈæftər ɪt wɑz ˈlutɪd frəm ə ˈrænˌsækt stɔr ˈmoʊmənts ˈərliər, ɪt wɑz sɛd. wɑz kɔt ɔn ˈkæmərə ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə θərd deɪ əv læst ˈsəmərz ˈsɪvəl dɪˈsɔrdər ɛz ˈvaɪələns ˌɪˈrəptɪd ɪn ʧɔk fɑrm, nɔrθ ˈləndən, ɔn ˈɔgəst 8 wʊd grin kraʊn kɔrt hərd. hi wɑz fərst ˈspɑtɪd ˈdæʃɪŋ əˈkrɔs ʧɔk fɑrm roʊd æt ˈæftər ə gæŋ smæʃt ɪn ðə frənt ˈwɪndoʊz əv ə ˈsupərˌmɑrkɪt, sɛd ˈprɑsɪˌkjutər.

bernie sanders says he's beating donald trump. is he right? enlarge this image toggle caption orlando via getty images orlando via getty images donald trump says he has good evidence he'd beat hillary clinton in a general election. "i beat hillary and i will give you the list i beat hillary in many of the polls that have been taken," he said at last thursday's republican debate. "and each week, i get better and better." and bernie sanders says he'd beat trump. "not all, but almost every poll has shown that sanders versus trump does a lot better than clinton versus trump," sanders said at the democratic debate in flint, mich., last week. sanders and trump appear to be referring to polling questions, in which pollsters give respondents hypothetical general election matchups. here's how asked these questions in a recent poll of registered voters nationwide: "if the election for president were being held today, and the candidates were bernie sanders the democrat and donald trump the republican, for whom would you vote?" candidates love to cite these polls, but not every pollster thinks these data are useful. "when you get somebody on the phone, they'll answer your questions. the real issue is whether they really are considering their answer to that question," says patrick murray, founding director of the monmouth university polling institute. "and when it comes to those hypotheticals, they're not." the problem, he says, is that primary voters are not general election voters. and those voters just aren't thinking about the election as seriously yet as those who are voting right now. "voters really don't think of this as a realistic possibility until it becomes clear who the nominees are going to be," murray said. "even at this point, where it seems like both trump and clinton are on a trajectory, we can ask this question in polls, but really people aren't going to give a considered answer to it." he gave the example of a voter who supports marco rubio right now and doesn't really like trump or ted cruz. given the choice between cruz and clinton right now, that voter might be so opposed to cruz especially during a bitter primary fight that she would pick clinton. however, once the decks are cleared and both parties have their candidates in the general election, that voter might easily decide to stick with her party and choose the republican. monmouth, where murray works, does do a form of hypothetical questions just this week, for example, they released a poll in which they asked likely ohio primary voters different combinations of republican and democratic nominees. but, murray says, the key difference is that this is about "partisan primary voters," not all voters. the bottom line: if sanders or trump (or any other candidate) is referring to poll questions asked of registered voters nationwide, there's a lot of room for skepticism. of course, other major polling outlets do these polls, and they see good reason for it. "we do them for the following reason: it gives us comparisons," says peter brown, assistant director of the university poll. "because not only do we do 'who are you going to vote for' questions in these polls; we also ask questions." the data on who is considered "unfavorable" and given that information who would vote for or against them in different general election candidate combinations is useful knowledge, he said. he also adds that looking at the matchups over time, especially with demographic breakdowns, can show where candidates are in particular losing or gaining ground. either way, voters should be wary when candidates talk about any poll results. for one thing, it's easy for candidates to the poll that favors them and ignore others. also, national polls can be misleading because they don't capture the important information of how voters feel and, by the way, is how people vote (and how delegates are allocated). and finally, polls are snapshots. they capture how people feel right now, not how they will feel on nov. 8. "polls are very good at telling you what the situation is today," said brown. "they're not bad at telling you what it will be like three days from now. but they're at telling you what they'll be like three months from now." that's why it's important, he says, that's hypothetical questions note "if the election were held today." but then, the election isn't today (sick as you may be of campaign ads and debates). so if it's eight months away, when will everyone agree that it's time to start paying attention to the hypothetical polls? it could be very soon. after the march 15 contests, murray said, he will start performing general election polls with the candidates who are left standing. winnowing the field could make some voters think harder about whom they'd support. "the probability of the outcome has to be rather high (whatever is slightly shy of inevitable) before voters really flip on the mental switch that says, 'yup. i'm going to have to pick between these two, so i might as well start giving it some serious thought,' " he said in an email. so after that, maybe it will be time to pay attention. but if trump, sanders, clinton or whoever start citing these polls in their victory speeches, it might be best to tune them out.	ˈbərni ˈsændərz sɪz hiz ˈbitɪŋ ˈdɑnəld trəmp. ɪz hi raɪt? ˌɛnˈlɑrʤ ðɪs ˈɪmɪʤ ˈtɑgəl ˈkæpʃən ɔˈrlænˌdoʊ ˈviə ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz ɔˈrlænˌdoʊ ˈviə ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz ˈdɑnəld trəmp sɪz hi həz gʊd ˈɛvədəns hid bit ˈhɪləri ˈklɪntən ɪn ə ˈʤɛnərəl ɪˈlɛkʃən.

chicago (ap) brandon jennings stretched out his arms and held his hands just over the ground as he glided toward center court, celebrating another big with one of nate usual moves. yup, jennings was listening to trash talk, and he had the perfect response. the speedy point guard scored 20 of his 35 points in the third quarter, and the milwaukee bucks beat the chicago bulls on wednesday night for their second consecutive victory under interim coach jim boylan. robinson scored 13 of his 19 points in the first period, but was unable to stop jennings once he got going in the third. “a little trash talking before the second half,” jennings said. “i guess he felt like he had it going, he was getting the best of me. i really take trash talking too kindly because i really do a lot of trash talking. i warned him, so, hey, it happens.” mike dunleavy had 16 points and ellis finished with 14 for milwaukee, which made 10 of 22 attempts. larry sanders grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked seven shots. “i think the whole team played well, but obviously brandon, offensively, really got it going,” boylan said. “i thought our defense got a little more active, coming up with loose balls. presence around the basket is intimidating. guys go in there and looking for him.” carlos boozer had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the bulls, who have dropped their last two games against milwaukee at united center. the bulls blew a lead in the third quarter as milwaukee snapped a losing streak against chicago with a victory on nov. 26. “just second half, i think they made a lot of tough shots,” boozer said. “brandon was amazing. we missed some shots we usually make, and that was the game.” boozer has recorded a in six consecutive games while playing some of his best basketball in three seasons with the bulls. the best such streak for chicago since noah also had a in six straight games in 2009. the bucks parted ways with scott skiles on monday in what was called a mutual decision, and turned to his top assistant for at least the rest of the season. boylan also served as an interim coach in chicago when skiles was let go during the season. “i told the guys that just gonna have fun with this,” boylan said. “coach as well as i can coach, motivate these guys, and what gonna do.” it was a lot of fun against chicago, especially when jennings got on a roll in the third. he was 4 for 7 from long range in the period, including two during a quick burst that gave the bucks a lead with left. “teams go in stretches where they score and score and score,” robinson said. “it’s like you do nothing about it. but tonight we beat ourselves. brandon jennings got hot. it happens.” robinson also downplayed his running conversation with jennings. “a couple of dirty plays exchanged, but, you know, nothing to complain about,” he said. “it’s basketball.” jennings added a key floater in the fourth as the bucks won for only the seventh time in their last 27 games against the bulls. luol deng scored 18 points for chicago, which was seeking a fourth consecutive victory. robinson got the start in place of kirk, who was sidelined with a right elbow injury. it was the fifth start of the season for the guard, who made threes in the first quarter to help chicago grab a lead after one. the bulls still held a lead in the final seconds of the first half when jennings connected from long range, slicing advantage to at the break. notes: bulls c mohammed was preparing for the second half when a giant inflatable benny the bull landed on him near the line. the operator quickly got the mascot away from mohammed, who just smiled as he continued to warm up. has been hampered by a slew of injuries this season. he missed three games in december with a bruised left knee and a game in november because of an injured right hip. boylan said before the game he thinks skiles will coach again. the crowd roared when bears charles tillman was shown on the overhead before the final period. jennings has made at least one in a 22 straight games. article continues below ...	ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ (ˌeɪˈpi) ˈbrændən ˈʤɛnɪŋz strɛʧt aʊt hɪz ɑrmz ənd hɛld hɪz hænz ʤɪst ˈoʊvər ðə graʊnd ɛz hi ˈglaɪdɪd təˈwɔrd ˈsɛnər

despite mainstream western claims to embrace them, it is becoming apparent that the radical origins of terms like “identity politics”, “women of colour”, and, in particular, “intersectionality” which were concerned not only with race but with overturning all forms of exploitation including class systems are being betrayed and stripped of their nature. as outlined by crenshaw, is not so much something that someone “identifies” as, but a useful term that easily illustrates certain truths; namely that when multiple forms of oppressions meet, they create new, compound oppressions that are experienced acutely by those who belong to certain groups. intersectional-what? problem with jargon is that any idiot can pick it up and have a go read more unmoored from structural analysis, feminism is fast becoming a shallow buzzword that elevates the individual, stifles dissent, and, most worrying, is being to silence women of colour. representation and diversity, for instance, can be important indicators of social progress. in feminist discourse however, they are increasingly served as substitutes for such progress. the surrounding hillary clinton as almost first female president™ and the silliness over wonder woman as first female superhero™ both fostered an atmosphere of hostility to any women who had the audacity not to feel “represented” by either. you “with her”? no, not because an arab woman who balks at fondness for bombing the middle east; you just have misogyny. think wonder woman was average and kinda sexist? too bad; she empowers all women. and even consider bringing up gal sentiments, that makes you a “racist.” for all its talk of, mainstream feminism still cannot comprehend that racism and sexism are not experienced separately but simultaneously. as such, for those of us negotiating these two particular intersections, enjoyment of, say, the tale was tempered by the gushing feminist accolades hailing it a terrifying glimpse into a future that might happen. never mind that aboriginal women continue to have their children taken from them by the state, or the hundreds of years that black bodies were mined to perpetuate slavery and colonialism. meanwhile, the first female doctor who™ was greeted so rapturously, think won the us election. it also completely overshadowed the casting of actor mena in the upcoming live action aladdin. yes, is a man. but after decades of depictions as terrorists, religious fanatics, and barbaric illiterate extras in their own lands, an arab is again a leading man. this significant event for many arab women living in the west, who also suffer as a result of these stereotypes, was deftly swept aside as feminism celebrated the apparently unusual practice of granting a starring role to a white actress. this is how whiteness reasserts itself, by sweeping the concerns of non-white women aside on the mistaken assumption that we too can separate our gender from our race. nowhere is it more apparent than in internet culture. as written before, feminism cannot be involved in collective, meaningful change that benefits us all as long as it considers the internet bonafide political activism. piling on individuals until they submit, may be the easiest way to express solidarity, but, in the long-term, it is actually one of the least effective. we gave our best efforts to bring these ideas and concepts to light recently, at an event in which we jointly appeared, only to ironically fall afoul of this same culture the very next day. a simplistic critique of our discussion ended with the erroneous and bizarre conclusion that we had mocked fat women and called them “whores”. what actually said is that feminist discussions around the online abuse women face are, unsurprisingly, dominated by white women who inevitably focus on the attacks men make on appearance. fat. ugly. slut. unfuckable. all feminists have experienced these slurs. what we added, and what is frequently ignored, is that our abuse is always as well as gendered. if feminist linda is seen as a risk, progressive politics has lost its way \| claire read more to the men that try to silence us, we are not merely disgusting to look at, but in case a “hezbollah whore” with “clitoris envy as well as penis envy.” meanwhile, in a country that has done everything to extinguish and assimilate aboriginal people, celeste is continually forced defend her based on how she looks. this compounded makes our experience of online abuse exponentially worse, and it is this that led us to sarcastically remark that we sometimes wish men would treat us like they do white women and “just” call us “fat whores that are unrapeable.” to have these words twisted so thoroughly by other feminists is not only distressing it is embarrassing for feminism. when, in the name of “intersectionality,” an aboriginal feminist and an arab feminist, who have only recently been afforded a platform, are attacked because “intersectional feminists” apparently cannot tell the difference between critiquing sexist ideas and mocking women, then we can only conclude that feminism is failing at.	dɪˈspaɪt ˈmeɪnˌstrim ˈwɛstərn kleɪmz tɪ ɪmˈbreɪs ðɛm, ɪt ɪz bɪˈkəmɪŋ əˈpɛrənt ðət ðə ˈrædɪkəl ˈɔrəʤɪnz əv tərmz laɪk politics””, əv colour””, ənd, ɪn ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr, ““intersectionality”” wɪʧ wər kənˈsərnd nɑt ˈoʊnli wɪθ reɪs bət wɪθ ˈoʊvərˌtərnɪŋ ɔl fɔrmz əv ˌɛkˌsplɔɪˈteɪʃən ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ klæs ˈsɪstəmz ər biɪŋ bɪˈtreɪd ənd strɪpt əv ðɛr ˈneɪʧər. ɛz ˈaʊˌtlaɪnd baɪ ˈkrɛnˌʃɔ, ɪz nɑt soʊ məʧ ˈsəmθɪŋ ðət ˈsəmˌwən ““identifies”” ɛz, bət ə ˈjusfəl tərm ðət ˈizəli ˈɪləˌstreɪts ˈsərtən truθs; ˈneɪmli ðət wɪn ˈməltəpəl fɔrmz əv əˈprɛʃənz mit, ðeɪ kriˈeɪt nu, ˈkɑmpaʊnd əˈprɛʃənz ðət ər ɪkˈspɪriənst əˈkjutli baɪ ðoʊz hu bɪˈlɔŋ tɪ ˈsərtən grups. intersectional-what?

fathers: regain your the confucian way our modern world has put fatherhood in a tight spot. from a 50 percent divorce rate to a career of servitude in the office cell of a corporate master, it may often seem that contemporary fathers have hardly any opportunity to live up to the name. and society seems to give our mothers a greater share of love: since 2004, day sales have consistently lagged behind day spending by about two times, according to statistics from the u.s. national retail foundation. the ancient chinese placed a premium on the role in the family. the ancients honored their fathers with a reverence equal to kings and even gods. in legendary times, a character meaning “monarch” contained within it the symbol for “father.” while this may sound extreme to modern ears, chinese tradition offers some broad lessons to fathers today. fathers in chinese tradition as the head of smallest father is responsible not just for the physical well-being of his household, but also for in his children the mores and attitudes befitting the familial roles they too will come to inherit. confucius, the famous sage who lived over years ago, taught that filial piety, or “xiao,” was the bedrock of a functioning family. it rests on the reciprocity inherent in different social friends, older and younger siblings, father and son, husband and wife, ruler and ruled. by recognizing these relationships, people could live and grow side by side in harmony. related coverage improve your resolve with ancient chinese wisdom confucius held that paternal love was different from maternal affection; above all, a father must command a healthy respect. confucius or, by unknown author. (commons wikimedia) a healthy distance while the father had to be kind and loving to his children, there still had to exist a certain distance. fathers in ancient china did not pretend that they were meant to be friends with their children in the normal sense. it was not the job of a parent to indulge in worlds, but to provide them the means to develop their character and enter the world of adults. whether in business dealings or in domestic affairs, the father was cognizant of the example he was setting for young onlookers and gave explicit instruction where appropriate. a father could not let down the barriers of propriety that defined his role. though his contact with his children may have been limited, as it is now by the constraints of his vocation, he had to make the best imprint possible upon his progeny. don’t be an autocrat this is not to say that chinese fathers had the last word in all instances. as one chinese thinker put it: “all men are children of god and are merely made flesh through the spirits of father and mother. therefore, the father has not absolute power over the son.” since the child has been seeing his father as a role model and bearer of morality, he will also be expected to hold himself to these same principles. this is not the same as blind obedience, which confucius loathed. related coverage giving thanks the ancient chinese way when one of his disciples boasted of having withstood a particularly brutal beating from his father, confucius was quick to reprimand him: by tolerating the potentially injurious blows, was he not allowing his father to commit wrongdoing? the role of a child, confucius taught, must not be to follow his parents blindly, but rather to absorb the lessons learned from them and assist them in their own times of moral weakness. this highlights the importance of leading by when a father represents a strong, upright character will a son be correct in emulating him. modern realities for the modern father, trying to leave time for your offspring can be a daunting, even seemingly impossible task. while working women are afforded maternity leave and corporate culture has resigned itself to their simultaneous status as mothers, there is little breathing room for the dad. in society, where the paternal role has been virtually reduced to that of breadwinner, it is even more crucial that the time spent with your kids be made to count. as every moment a father has with his sons or daughters is formative, he the urge to indulge himself and his by genuine strength of character and thus be a worthy model for posterity.	ˈfɑðərz: rɪˈgeɪn jʊr ðə kənfˈjuʃən weɪ ɑr ˈmɑdərn wərld həz pʊt ˈfɑðərˌhʊd ɪn ə taɪt spɑt. frəm ə 50 pərˈsɛnt dɪˈvɔrs reɪt tɪ ə kərɪr əv ˈsərvəˌtud ɪn ðə ˈɔfəs sɛl əv ə ˈkɔrpərət ˈmæstər, ɪt meɪ ˈɔfən sim ðət kənˈtɛmpərˌɛri ˈfɑðərz hæv ˈhɑrdli ˈɛni ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ lɪv əp tɪ ðə neɪm. ənd soʊˈsaɪɪti simz tɪ gɪv ɑr ˈməðərz ə ˈgreɪtər ʃɛr əv ləv: sɪns 2004 deɪ seɪlz hæv kənˈsɪstəntli lægd bɪˈhaɪnd deɪ ˈspɛndɪŋ baɪ əˈbaʊt tu taɪmz, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ stəˈtɪstɪks frəm ðə juz. ˈnæʃənəl ˈriˌteɪl faʊnˈdeɪʃən. ðə ˈeɪnʧənt ʧaɪˈniz pleɪst ə ˈprimiəm ɔn ðə roʊl ɪn ðə ˈfæməli. ðə ˈeɪnʧənts ˈɑnərd ðɛr ˈfɑðərz wɪθ ə ˈrɛvərəns ˈikwəl tɪ kɪŋz ənd ˈivɪn gɑdz. ɪn ˈlɛʤənˌdɛri taɪmz, ə ˈkɛrɪktər ˈminɪŋ ““monarch”” kənˈteɪnd wɪˈθɪn ɪt ðə ˈsɪmbəl fər ““father.”.” waɪl ðɪs meɪ saʊnd ɪkˈstrim tɪ ˈmɑdərn ɪrz, ʧaɪˈniz trəˈdɪʃən ˈɔfərz səm brɔd ˈlɛsənz tɪ ˈfɑðərz təˈdeɪ. ˈfɑðərz ɪn ʧaɪˈniz trəˈdɪʃən ɛz ðə hɛd əv sˈmɔləst ˈfɑðər ɪz riˈspɑnsəbəl nɑt ʤɪst fər ðə ˈfɪzɪkəl ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ əv hɪz ˈhaʊsˌhoʊld, bət ˈɔlsoʊ fər ɪn hɪz ˈʧɪldrən ðə ˈmɔˌriz ənd ˈætəˌtudz bɪˈfɪtɪŋ ðə fəˈmɪljəl roʊlz ðeɪ tu wɪl kəm tɪ ˌɪnˈhɛrət. kənfˈjuʃəs, ðə ˈfeɪməs seɪʤ hu lɪvd ˈoʊvər jɪrz əˈgoʊ, tɔt ðət ˈfɪliəl ˈpaɪəti, ər ““xiao,”,” wɑz ðə ˈbɛˌdrɑk əv ə ˈfəŋkʃənɪŋ ˈfæməli. ɪt rɛsts ɔn ðə ˌrɛsɪˈprɑsɪti ˌɪnˈhɛrənt ɪn ˈdɪfərənt ˈsoʊʃəl frɛndz, ˈoʊldər ənd ˈjəŋgər ˈsɪblɪŋz, ˈfɑðər ənd sən, ˈhəzbənd ənd waɪf, ˈrulər ənd ruld. baɪ ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪzɪŋ ðiz riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪps, ˈpipəl kʊd lɪv ənd groʊ saɪd baɪ saɪd ɪn ˈhɑrməni. rɪˈleɪtɪd ˈkəvərɪʤ ˌɪmˈpruv jʊr riˈzɑlv wɪθ ˈeɪnʧənt ʧaɪˈniz ˈwɪzdəm kənfˈjuʃəs hɛld ðət pəˈtərnəl ləv wɑz ˈdɪfərənt frəm məˈtərnəl əˈfɛkʃən; əˈbəv ɔl, ə ˈfɑðər məst kəˈmænd ə ˈhɛlθi rɪˈspɛkt. kənfˈjuʃəs ər baɪ ənˈnoʊn ˈɔθər.

(cnn) in a sea of outrage over the toxic drinking water in one of america's most beleaguered cities, one man has emerged as a leading skeptic of the catastrophe. republican pundit, former state lawmaker and flint resident bill ballenger, 74, says he has not been poisoned from bathing and drinking from the taps of a city where authorities continue to advise people not to consume the water. "the publicity ... is overblown," ballenger told cnn on thursday. that candor cost him his job as a contributing writer for inside michigan politics , a political analysis newsletter. "he is entitled to his opinion," demas said of ballenger, "but not his own facts." demas said she made her decision "with a heavy heart" and apologized to those hurt by comments "at a time of already considerable anxiety and pain." "flint is a public health catastrophe, as the meticulous research of virginia tech and hurley medical center dr. mona clearly shows," she said. "i cannot have anyone associated with inside michigan politics who minimizes the impact of this terrible public health disaster that will impact people's lives for decades to come." scientists not in agreement with ballenger researchers from virginia tech have said the flint river is highly corrosive -- 19 times more so than the lake huron supply. flint residents have voiced complaints about their brown and tap water since officials switched the city's water supply from lake huron to the dirty flint river in april 2014 as a measure. just watched she helped expose flint water crisis replay more videos ... must watch she helped expose flint water crisis hanna-attisha, director of the pediatric residency program at hurley medical center, discovered that the percentage of children in flint with lead poisoning had doubled in recent years, she told cnn. "in some neighborhoods, it actually tripled," she said. "(in) one specific neighborhood, the percentage of kids with lead poisoning went from about 5%, to almost 16% of the kids that were tested. ... it directly correlated with where the water lead levels were the highest." those findings went against trends across the country, which had seen lead levels dropping every year. though experts have described's findings as incontrovertible, ballenger said he isn't convinced. "the idea that the entire population of flint has been poisoned and that we all have elevated blood levels because of this is just a total canard," ballenger told detroit's radio. "it's just a crock, and for this to be perpetuated as a story is doing a lot of damage to flint as a community." ballenger admitted that some people have been exposed to lead poisoning, but he questioned the severity of the contamination and said further studies were needed. ballenger, who previously was a member of the michigan house of representatives and the michigan senate, was born and raised in flint, reported. he lives in an upscale part of the city part time, according to cnn affiliatet-tv. "lead in the water is no joke," neighbor told the station. "our water is tasting fine, but i don't want to take the risk, so i've been purchasing bottled water," said. "i would say, 'be better safe than sorry,' even if it has been exaggerated, you still have take the precautions." "there is a problem with the water in flint," he told cnn. "but for parts of the last decade ... flint has been pounded. it's lost half its population. this is terrible publicity for flint. it's vastly exaggerated." since auto plants began closing in the 1980s, flint -- a city of -- has been struggling with declining population, spikes in violent crime and increasing poverty. 'i think mistakes were made' asked whether residents with children or who complain about smelly and water were wrong, ballenger said: "i'm not telling them they're wrong. i think mistakes were made in the way the switch was made to the flint river to use that as a source of water and to keep the water clean. mistakes were made." flint mayor karen weaver, snyder and president barack obama have declared states of emergency, with the federal emergency management agency and the department of homeland security leading washington's response. state attorney general bill schuette is investigating whether any laws were broken. lawsuits by flint residents will attempt to prove the culpability of government officials. the city switched back to the lake huron water supply in october, but the damage was already done to the lead pipes. the state is now handing out filters and bottled water with the national guard. "the entire city was exposed," told cnn. "every neighborhood had high water lead levels. and every neighborhood had children with high blood lead levels." the financially struggling city is poorly equipped to deal with mitigating the impact of an irreversible on a community, according to experts. "there's no treatment, but there's a lot of things that we can put in place for these children," said, citing universal preschool, nutrition, education and health services. "we owe it to these kids to make this better."

the big news out of monday's new poll is that hillary clinton leads donald trump by five percentage points nationally, 47 to 42, in a race following the first presidential debate last week, including significant gains with men and independent voters. but also contained within the new survey is some timely information concerning how voters feel about paying taxes. amid news that trump may have avoided paying any income taxes for nearly two decades following a $916 million loss in 1995, the poll found that 86 percent of registered voters surveyed viewed paying taxes as a “civic duty.” among trump supporters, that number was only slightly lower at 79 percent. a mere 12 percent of americans polled said paying taxes to be an “unnecessary burden to be avoided.” surrogates have referred to him as a “genius” for finding a way out of paying taxes on his income.	ðə bɪg nuz aʊt əv ˈmənˌdeɪz nu poʊl ɪz ðət ˈhɪləri ˈklɪntən lidz ˈdɑnəld trəmp baɪ faɪv pərˈsɛnɪʤ pɔɪnts ˈnæʃənəli, 47 tɪ 42 ɪn ə reɪs ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ðə fərst ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl dəˈbeɪt læst wik, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt geɪnz wɪθ mɛn ənd ˌɪndɪˈpɛndənt ˈvoʊtərz. bət ˈɔlsoʊ kənˈteɪnd wɪˈθɪn ðə nu ˈsərˌveɪ ɪz səm ˈtaɪmli ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən kənˈsərnɪŋ haʊ ˈvoʊtərz fil əˈbaʊt peɪɪŋ ˈtæksɪz. əˈmɪd nuz ðət trəmp meɪ hæv əˈvɔɪdɪd peɪɪŋ ˈɛni ˈɪnˌkəm ˈtæksɪz fər ˈnɪrli tu ˈdɛkeɪdz ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ə 916 ˈmɪljən lɔs ɪn 1995 ðə poʊl faʊnd ðət 86 pərˈsɛnt əv ˈrɛʤɪstərd ˈvoʊtərz ˈsərˌveɪd vjud peɪɪŋ ˈtæksɪz ɛz ə duty.”.” əˈməŋ trəmp səˈpɔrtərz, ðət ˈnəmbər wɑz ˈoʊnli sˈlaɪtli loʊər æt 79 pərˈsɛnt. ə mɪr 12 pərˈsɛnt əv əˈmɛrɪkənz poʊld sɛd peɪɪŋ ˈtæksɪz tɪ bi ən ˈbərdən tɪ bi avoided.”.” ˈsərəˌgeɪts hæv rɪˈfərd tɪ ɪm ɛz ə ““genius”*” fər ˈfaɪndɪŋ ə weɪ aʊt əv peɪɪŋ ˈtæksɪz ɔn hɪz ˈɪnˌkəm.
the university of new mexico physics and astronomy department will a series of events and educational programming designed to coincide with an upcoming annular solar eclipse. on sunday, may 20, the western u.s. will experience a solar eclipse. for most of the region, this will be a partial eclipse, but a small swath of the country including eclipse viewers in albuquerque, will get to see an annular "ring of fire" eclipse, where the moon will block out all but a small ring around the edge of the sun. the solar eclipse viewing event near the observatory parking lot, located off yale blvd. on the north side of lomas blvd., begins at 6 p.m. on sunday, may 20. interested attendees are encouraged to show up before the eclipse starts. safety glasses for viewing will be given out free at the event. the eclipse begins in albuquerque at p.m. local time. the annular phase starts at p.m. and lasts for approximately four minutes. at this time, the sun will be approximately five degrees above the western horizon. albuquerque is in the direct path of eclipse maximum for this solar eclipse, which means that the moon will pass in front of the sun and those in albuquerque will get to see an amazing show. what makes these events rare is the relatively small shadow that the moon casts on earth. "albuquerque is in a good place for viewing in the path of the eclipse," said richard rand, professor and event coordinator, department of physics and astronomy. "we are right in the center, and the only big city, in the path of the eclipse. this means planning is required in order to see the eclipse maximum." in the days before the eclipse, a series of free public lectures will be held at and the new mexico museum of natural history with interesting information about the annular eclipse and the venus transit, the science of eclipses and transits, and a bit of history surrounding these events. lecture schedule the events begin on friday, may 11 at 3 p.m. with a lecture titled, "the very rare and amazing may 20 annular eclipse and june 5 transit of venus," given by pihlstrom, associate professor, department of physics and astronomy. the lecture will be held in hall, rm. 103. other lectures will be held on sunday, may 13 at p.m., by john dickel, adjunct professor, department of physics and astronomy, as part of the solar sundays program at the new mexico museum of natural history and science, and on friday, may 18 at 8 p.m., a talk titled, "two celestial events," will be given by jack brandt, adjunct professor, department of physics and astronomy. talk will be held in the ballrooms at the student union building. free parking is available in lots a and e bordered by central ave, redondo rd, stanford and girard blvd. on sunday, may 20 at p.m., prior to the viewing at the observatory, a talk titled, "the very rare and amazing may 20 annular eclipse and june 5 transit of venus," will be given by greg taylor, associate professor, department of physics and astronomy, at the new mexico museum of natural history. this particular eclipse will be of the annular type, which means the sun won't be completely blocked out like the more commonly known total eclipse. for annular eclipses, the size of the moon will appear to be just smaller than the sun, which will leave a small ring (an annulus) of the sun still visible around the moon when the moon is completely in front of the sun. for this reason, it won't get dark during this eclipse. for a complete list of events as well as links and a variety of informational links leading up to the annular eclipse including eclipses in general, and safety and lecture information, visit: eclipse 2012. "safety is very important," added rand. "never look directly into the sun with your eyes or through a pair of binoculars, cameras or telescopes. additionally, on tuesday, june 5 at 4 p.m., the observatory will be open for the transit of venus. this rare alignment occurs when venus passes directly between earth and the sun, and viewers see the distant planet as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun. historically, this is how astronomers measured the size of our solar system. for more information, visit: transit of venus. other event sponsors include: the national park service, albuquerque international balloon museum, county, the albuquerque astronomical society, albuquerque convention and visitors bureau, city of albuquerque open space, the new mexico museum of natural history and science, and sandia peak tramway. media contact: steve carr (505); e-mail:	ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv nu ˈmɛksəˌkoʊ ˈfɪzɪks ənd əˈstrɑnəmi dɪˈpɑrtmənt wɪl ə ˈsɪriz əv ɪˈvɛnts ənd ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃənəl ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ dɪˈzaɪnd tɪ ˌkoʊɪnˈsaɪd wɪθ ən ˈəpˌkəmɪŋ ˈænjələr ˈsoʊlər ɪˈklɪps. ɔn ˈsənˌdi, meɪ 20 ðə ˈwɛstərn juz. wɪl ɪkˈspɪriəns ə ˈsoʊlər ɪˈklɪps. fər moʊst əv ðə ˈriʤən, ðɪs wɪl bi ə ˈpɑrʃəl ɪˈklɪps, bət ə smɔl swɑθ əv ðə ˈkəntri ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ɪˈklɪps vjuərz ɪn ˈælbəkərki, wɪl gɪt tɪ si ən ˈænjələr "rɪŋ əv faɪər" ɪˈklɪps, wɛr ðə mun wɪl blɑk aʊt ɔl bət ə smɔl rɪŋ əraʊnd ðə ɛʤ əv ðə sən. ðə ˈsoʊlər ɪˈklɪps vjuɪŋ ɪˈvɛnt nɪr ðə əbˈzərvəˌtɔri ˈpɑrkɪŋ lɔt, ˈloʊˌkeɪtəd ɔf jeɪl ˈbʊləˌvɑrd. ɔn ðə nɔrθ saɪd əv ˈloʊməz ˈbʊləˌvɑrd., bɪˈgɪnz æt 6 p.m. ɔn ˈsənˌdi, meɪ 20 ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪd əˈtɛnˈdiz ər ɪnˈkərəʤd tɪ ʃoʊ əp ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ɪˈklɪps stɑrts. ˈseɪfti ˈglæsɪz fər vjuɪŋ wɪl bi ˈgɪvɪn aʊt fri æt ðə ɪˈvɛnt. ðə ɪˈklɪps bɪˈgɪnz ɪn ˈælbəkərki æt p.m. ˈloʊkəl taɪm. ðə ˈænjələr feɪz stɑrts æt p.m. ənd læsts fər əˈprɑksəmətli fɔr ˈmɪnəts. æt ðɪs taɪm, ðə sən wɪl bi əˈprɑksəmətli faɪv dɪˈgriz əˈbəv ðə ˈwɛstərn hərˈaɪzən. ˈælbəkərki ɪz ɪn ðə dɪˈrɛkt pæθ əv ɪˈklɪps ˈmæksəməm fər ðɪs ˈsoʊlər ɪˈklɪps, wɪʧ minz ðət ðə mun wɪl pæs ɪn frənt əv ðə sən ənd ðoʊz ɪn ˈælbəkərki wɪl gɪt tɪ si ən əˈmeɪzɪŋ ʃoʊ. wət meɪks ðiz ɪˈvɛnts rɛr ɪz ðə ˈrɛlətɪvli smɔl ˈʃæˌdoʊ ðət ðə mun kæsts ɔn ərθ.

taipei (taiwan news) -- images of chinese warplanes on monday appearing to fly within view of taiwan's mountains have been posted by chinese media sites on, causing much consternation and concern in taiwan, if they indeed were that close. people’s liberation army air force (plaaf) spokesman colonel shen said on monday (dec. 11), that a group of aircraft composed of xian bombers, fighter jets, shenyang fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, and an air refueling tanker conducted a routine "island encirclement patrol" to "safeguard national sovereignty." chinese media outlets then embellished the story by posting images on of the warplanes with what appears to be mountains in the distant background, which are circled in red and then described as "taiwan's mountains." map posted by user mba张琪 showing approximate flight paths of the chinese warplanes. japan's military reported detecting the squadron of chinese aircraft crossing the miyako strait, which is northeast of taiwan before reaching the channel on dec. 11. also on that day, taiwan's ministry of national defense said that it monitored the activities of the chinese aircraft and dispatched planes and ships to investigate and deal with the situation. it concluded that it was not an unusual situation as the flight path used by the chinese aircraft was similar to previous patrols and that citizens should not be alarmed.	ˈtaɪˌpeɪ (ˈtaɪˈwɑn nuz) ˈɪmɪʤɪz əv ʧaɪˈniz ˈwɔrˌpleɪnz ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ əˈpɪrɪŋ tɪ flaɪ wɪˈθɪn vju əv ˈtaɪˈwɑnz ˈmaʊntənz hæv bɪn ˈpoʊstɪd baɪ ʧaɪˈniz ˈmidiə saɪts ɔn, ˈkɔzɪŋ məʧ ˌkɑnstərˈneɪʃən ənd kənˈsərn ɪn ˈtaɪˈwɑn, ɪf ðeɪ ˌɪnˈdid wər ðət kloʊz. ˌlɪˌbərˈeɪʃən ˈɑrmi ɛr fɔrs (plaaf) ˈspoʊksmən ˈkərnəl ʃɛn sɛd ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ (dɛk. 11 ðət ə grup əv ˈɛrˌkræft kəmˈpoʊzd əv zjɑn ˈbɑmərz, ˈfaɪtər ʤɛts, ʃɛnˈjæŋ ˈfaɪtər ʤɛts, riˈkɑnəsəns pleɪnz, ənd ən ɛr rifˈjuəlɪŋ ˈtæŋkər kənˈdəktəd ə ruˈtin "ˈaɪlənd ɛnˈsərkəlmənt pəˈtroʊl" tɪ "ˈseɪfˌgɑrd ˈnæʃənəl ˈsɑvrənti." ʧaɪˈniz ˈmidiə ˈaʊˌtlɛts ðɛn ɛmˈbɛlɪʃt ðə ˈstɔri baɪ ˈpoʊstɪŋ ˈɪmɪʤɪz ɔn əv ðə ˈwɔrˌpleɪnz wɪθ wət əˈpɪrz tɪ bi ˈmaʊntənz ɪn ðə ˈdɪstənt ˈbækˌgraʊnd, wɪʧ ər ˈsərkəld ɪn rɛd ənd ðɛn dɪˈskraɪbd ɛz "ˈtaɪˈwɑnz ˈmaʊntənz." mæp ˈpoʊstɪd baɪ ˈjuzər mba张琪张琪 ʃoʊɪŋ əˈprɑksəˌmeɪt flaɪt pæθs əv ðə ʧaɪˈniz ˈwɔrˌpleɪnz. ʤəˈpænz ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˌriˈpɔrtəd dɪˈtɛktɪŋ ðə skˈwɑdrən əv ʧaɪˈniz ˈɛrˌkræft ˈkrɔsɪŋ ðə ˈmiˌəˌkoʊ streɪt, wɪʧ ɪz ˌnɔrˈθist əv ˈtaɪˈwɑn ˌbiˈfɔr ˈriʧɪŋ ðə ˈʧænəl ɔn dɛk. 11 ˈɔlsoʊ ɔn ðət deɪ, ˈtaɪˈwɑnz ˈmɪnɪstri əv ˈnæʃənəl dɪˈfɛns sɛd ðət ɪt ˈmɑnətərd ðə ækˈtɪvɪtiz əv ðə ʧaɪˈniz ˈɛrˌkræft ənd dɪˈspæʧt pleɪnz ənd ʃɪps tɪ ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪt ənd dil wɪθ ðə ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən. ɪt kənˈkludɪd ðət ɪt wɑz nɑt ən ənˈjuˌʒuəl ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən ɛz ðə flaɪt pæθ juzd baɪ ðə ʧaɪˈniz ˈɛrˌkræft wɑz ˈsɪmələr tɪ ˈpriviəs pəˈtroʊlz ənd ðət ˈsɪtɪzənz ʃʊd nɑt bi əˈlɑrmd.

washington (the the strongest sign to date that he intends to seek the 2016 republican presidential nomination, former florida governor jeb bush has officially resigned his position as george w. brother. "no longer being related to his brother is a key step to clearing path to the nomination," an aide said on new year's day. "we expect his poll numbers to soar on this." according to the aide, the former florida governor resigned his post as brother in a phone call with george w. bush, after which he blocked the former president's phone number and e-mail address. in an official statement, george w. bush said that he "understands and supports" his former brother's decision. "if i were him, i would no longer be related to me either," he said. get news satire from the report delivered to your inbox.	ˈwɔʃɪŋtən (ðə ðə ˈstrɔŋgəst saɪn tɪ deɪt ðət hi ˌɪnˈtɛndz tɪ sik ðə 2016 rɪˈpəblɪkən ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl ˌnɑməˈneɪʃən, ˈfɔrmər ˈflɔrɪdə ˈgəvərnər ʤɛb bʊʃ həz əˈfɪʃəli rɪˈzaɪnd hɪz pəˈzɪʃən ɛz ʤɔrʤ ˈdəbəlju. ˈbrəðər.

again later invalid email a senior has demanded the closure of a troubled birmingham school after its segregation policy was ruled unlawful . tory matt bennett, the shadow cabinet member for education, called for school in green , to be shut down following the court of ruling yesterday (friday). in a landmark ruling with national implications, three judges backed inspectors who viewed that the segregation of boys and girls amounted to discrimination. coun bennett (con, edgbaston) said the affair reflected badly on thecil-maintained school, the local authority, and the department for education. he said the reputation was “tarnished” after it was placed in special measures in 2014., its entire governing body was sacked the following year after it emerged the school was million in debt. the case came to court after produced a summer 2016 report that found there was discrimination under equality laws. at an earlier hearing, judge mr justice jay said books discovered in the school library clearly treated women “as subordinate to men”. coun bennett said: “the school has, to say the least, a tarnished reputation and, with it once again having been rated inadequate, it is beyond dispute that thecil’s efforts have failed to bring about the necessary improvements. “it really would be in the best interests of all concerned, not least the pupils who have been failed by the school and thecil, if the school were closed down in a managed and orderly fashion.” responding to the ruling, thecil said “many other” faith schools around thetry practiced gender separation and “none had been downgraded by” as a result. colin diamond, the corporate director of children and young people, said was “being held to a different standard to many other schools with similar arrangements”. he said: “we have a strong history of encouraging all schools to practice equality in all its forms and would robustly tackle any discrimination. “but the issue here is about schools being inspected against unclear and inconsistent policy and guidelines. “this is not a case where boys and girls were being treated differently. “ofsted found that boys and girls were treated equally.” “if it is national policy that schools gender separation are considered to be discriminating against pupils, then local authorities and the schools themselves clearly need to be told so they know what standards they are being inspected against. but said the school was “discrimination”. chief inspector amanda spielman said: “educational institutions should never treat pupils less because of their sex, or for any other reason. “the school is teaching boys and girls entirely separately, making them walk down separate corridors, and keeping them apart at all times. “this is discrimination and is wrong. “it places these boys and girls at a disadvantage for life beyond the classroom and the workplace, and fails to prepare them for life in modern britain.”	ðə ˈvɪdioʊ wɪl

the sprawling encampment under the rail bridge on the northern bank of the was the most visible sign of a homelessnessisis the council is struggling to confront. a staggering increase in the number of people sleeping rough in the has prompted the council to almost triple its annual homelessness budget in an attempt to stem theisis. the unprecedented funding commitment, which includes cash for a safe centre, coincided with the monumental of largest and camp. dozens of police and council workers descended on park on wednesday following concerns over ballooning collections of furniture and camping equipment in the public area alongside the river. earlier in the week, the council issued homeless people with notices to dismantle their camps following reports of drug use and storage of knives at the site. homeless couple dave and kellie were evicted from their makeshift camp at park in the city on june 27, 2016 in melbourne, australia. scala the lord mayor and homeless services are concerned some people have been turning down temporary orisis accommodation saying they will only move for permanent homes. "if you're out on the coldest night, surelyisis accommodation is better than that?" doyle said. when authorities moved in on park on wednesday, 10 people remained. although some left before they could be assisted, homeless service launch housing said four people have been given hotel or other temporary accommodation. of those that still remain at the camp, one is an american tourist and another is godwin aquilina, who has been sleeping rough after his local council in refused him a permit to keep his pet ram. the melbourne city council and police moves the homeless people and their belongings away from the park. 29 june 2016. the age news. photo: eddie jim. (godwin aquilina and his ram)edit:eddie jim winter usually sees a slump in visible rough sleepers in melbourne but earlier this month 247 homeless men and women were found sheltering on the streets around the, a 74 per cent increase in two years. salvation army major brendan said he had never seen it so bad and pointed to decades of under investment in services in the suburbs and regional areas. "a lot of the people we are dealing with have trauma that was caused back in their childhood. it hasn't been effectively addressed and the issues have just got more complex," he said. "we're dealing with a wicked problem, it's a complex and entrenched problem. it's a problem that the city of melbourne can't resolve, and i think it's unfair to expect them to resolve it." in a last-minute change to their annual budget, the council this week voted to give an extra $2.2 million to help tackle street homelessness, with the hope the cash reserve will be added to by the state government and philanthropists. loading it allocated $100,000 for a feasibility study to find property that could be used for supported accommodation for the homeless. meanwhile, a "safe space" will be opened at the salvation army's cafe on bourke street, in a trial that could be extended if it's successful. the initiative is jointly funded by the council and collingwood football club.	ðə ˈsprɔlɪŋ ɪnˈkæmpmɪnt ˈəndər ðə reɪl brɪʤ ɔn ðə ˈnɔrðərn bæŋk əv ðə wɑz ðə moʊst ˈvɪzəbəl saɪn əv ə ˈhoʊmləsnəs ˈkraɪsəs ðə ˈkaʊnsəl ɪz ˈstrəgəlɪŋ tɪ kənˈfrənt. ə ˈstægərˌɪŋ ˌɪnˈkris ɪn ðə ˈnəmbər əv ˈpipəl sˈlipɪŋ rəf ɪn ðə həz ˈprɑmptɪd ðə ˈkaʊnsəl tɪ ˈɔlˌmoʊst ˈtrɪpəl ɪts ˈænjuəl ˈhoʊmləsnəs ˈbəʤɪt ɪn ən əˈtɛmpt tɪ stɛm ðə ˈkraɪsəs. ðə ənˈprɛsɪˌdɛntɪd ˈfəndɪŋ kəˈmɪtmənt, wɪʧ ˌɪnˈkludz kæʃ fər ə seɪf ˈsɛntər, ˌkoʊənˈsaɪdəd wɪθ ðə ˌmɑnjəˈmɛnəl əv ˈlɑrʤəst ənd kæmp. ˈdəzənz əv pəˈlis ənd ˈkaʊnsəl ˈwərkərz dɪˈsɛndɪd ɔn pɑrk ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ ˈfɑloʊɪŋ kənˈsərnz ˈoʊvər bəˈlunɪŋ kəˈlɛkʃənz əv ˈfərnɪʧər ənd ˈkæmpɪŋ ɪkˈwɪpmənt ɪn ðə ˈpəblɪk ˈɛriə əˈlɔŋˈsaɪd ðə ˈrɪvər. ˈərliər ɪn ðə wik, ðə ˈkaʊnsəl ˈɪʃud ˈhoʊmləs ˈpipəl wɪθ ˈnoʊtɪsɪz tɪ dɪsˈmænəl ðɛr kæmps ˈfɑloʊɪŋ rɪˈpɔrts əv drəg juz ənd ˈstɔrɪʤ əv naɪvz æt ðə saɪt. ˈhoʊmləs ˈkəpəl deɪv ənd ˈkɛli wər ɪˈvɪktɪd frəm ðɛr ˈmeɪkˌʃɪft kæmp æt pɑrk ɪn ðə ˈsɪti ɔn ʤun 27 2016 ɪn ˈmɛlbərn, ɔˈstreɪljə. ˈskɑlə ðə lɔrd meɪər ənd ˈhoʊmləs ˈsərvɪsɪz ər kənˈsərnd səm ˈpipəl hæv bɪn ˈtərnɪŋ daʊn ˈtɛmpərˌɛri ər ˈkraɪsəs əˌkɑməˈdeɪʃən seɪɪŋ ðeɪ wɪl ˈoʊnli muv fər ˈpərmɑˌnɛnt hoʊmz.

mr rathbun, who still believes in the practice of scientology and the teachings of its founder, l. ron hubbard, said many of the allegations detailed in letters written by former australian church members directly reflect unwritten church policies, dr kaye said. dr speech follows the tabling in federal parliament of those letters by senator nick xenophon. they accuse the church of bullying and intimidating its members, of denying access to medical treatment and of demanding that members cover up crimes. the church's australian president, vicki dunstan, denies the claims and has accused senator xenophon of abusing parliamentary privilege. she says the allegations have been invented by disgruntled ''apostates''. but according to dr kaye, mr rathbun said: ''the common big three things that they [the australian complainants] are hitting on are the craziness around what is imposed on the families, including the encouragement of abortion, the incredible commercial emphasis on getting money by any means necessary and the tactics used to silence dissent.'' mr rathbun said the church had sought to bully members of the sea organisation - international leadership group, loosely comparable to a priesthood - into having abortions when mr miscavige banned anyone in the group from having children in about 1986, shortly after hubbard's death. members of the sea org, as it is known, symbolically sign employment contracts. ''but accidents occur and people got pregnant,'' dr kaye reported mr rathbun as saying. ''the answer to that became, you know, people began to encourage people to have abortions ''i know at international base [the church's head office in florida] in the late and early '90s, it was a pretty regular practice that [pregnant] people were told, 'do you want to let mankind down?' '' mr miscavige thought sea org members would be easier to control and better able to devote long hours to if they had no children, mr rathbun said, according to dr kaye. mr rathbun also traces the culture of physical violence and intimidation raised in some of the xenophon allegations to mr miscavige, dr kaye told parliament. ''in about 2000 he got more and more uncontrolled physically and was beating people regularly and assigning more and more tortuous punishments,'' mr rathbun says. ''it got to the point where it was acceptable up there, and i think it rolled down to the other churches i received reports that it was happening at the continental bases like australia and england and south africa, and it became part of church culture.'' mr rathbun even admits to assaulting mike, the head of communications, who also defected. ''it became a culture. i am no angel, i participated. on two occasions i beat mike up. you know, it was a fight. it wasn't like a smackdown, you know, where miscavige comes in and you can't do anything. he fought back but i am a bigger guy and it is something that i regretted.'' mike declined to be interviewed for this story. however, in previous public statements he has confirmed the story. according to dr kaye, mr rathbun said the church had become ever more obsessed with raising money. he estimates that when he left the organisation in 2004 the church had a ''war chest'' of about $750 million set aside to fight off attacks from legislators or media organisations. ''a lot of people are under so much pressure to increase the sums of their donations that they took huge risks in business or in finance so a lot of people are having personal catastrophes now. loans are being called in, values of things they invest in have crashed,'' dr kaye reported mr rathbun as saying. it had become common practice to demand employees work 70 or 80 hours a week for as little as $50 pay. according to dr kaye, mr rathbun said the church used various methods to silence dissent in its flock. ''one is disconnection from family,'' he explains. ''if i declare you a person', if i expel you, you are never going to be able to talk to your family again. ''two is your business career, because you lose your network. ''and three is, you are never ever going to be able to get to the holy grail in scientology and reach spiritual enlightenment because you are expelled. that is three big clubs, and they are being used, increasingly, to extract ever larger and larger sums from people. i don't know what happened in australia, but i am telling you that it would have stemmed from the phenomenon i observed. it is consistent with that and it has rolled down from the top.'' ms dunstan denies mr accusations, describing him as a bitter liar with an axe to grind ever since he was dismissed from the church for ''gross breach of duties''. dr kaye called on the two main parties to support senator call for an inquiry into the church. ''these explosive revelations underline the urgency of investigating the operations of the church of scientology in australia. it is possible that recognising the organisation as a religion was a grave mistake that has granted legitimacy to a cult that bullies, intimidate and exploits,'' he said. loading ''there is a growing case for comprehensive examination not only of the church leadership in australia but also of the church itself as a religion.''	ˈmɪstər ˈræθbən, hu stɪl bɪˈlivz ɪn ðə ˈpræktɪs əv ˌsaɪənˈtɑləʤi ənd ðə ˈtiʧɪŋz əv ɪts ˈfaʊndər, ɛl. rɑn ˈhəbərd, sɛd ˈmɛni əv ðə ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz dɪˈteɪld ɪn ˈlɛtərz ˈrɪtən baɪ ˈfɔrmər ɔˈstreɪljən ʧərʧ ˈmɛmbərz dɪˈrɛkli rɪˈflɛkt ənˈrɪtən ʧərʧ ˈpɑləsiz, ˈdɑktər keɪ sɛd. ˈdɑktər spiʧ ˈfɑloʊz ðə ˈteɪbəlɪŋ ɪn ˈfɛdərəl ˈpɑrləmɛnt əv ðoʊz ˈlɛtərz baɪ ˈsɛnətər nɪk ˈzɛnəfən. ðeɪ əˈkjuz ðə ʧərʧ əv ˈbʊliɪŋ ənd ˌɪnˈtɪmɪˌdeɪtɪŋ ɪts ˈmɛmbərz, əv dɪˈnaɪɪŋ ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈtritmənt ənd əv dɪˈmændɪŋ ðət ˈmɛmbərz ˈkəvər əp kraɪmz. ðə ˈʧərʧəz ɔˈstreɪljən ˈprɛzɪdənt, ˈvɪki ˈdənstən, dɪˈnaɪz ðə kleɪmz ənd həz əˈkjuzd ˈsɛnətər ˈzɛnəfən əv əˈbjuzɪŋ ˌpɑrləˈmɛntəri ˈprɪvɪlɪʤ. ʃi sɪz ðə ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz hæv bɪn ˌɪnˈvɛntɪd baɪ dɪsˈgrənəld ''apostates''. bət əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈdɑktər keɪ, ˈmɪstər ˈræθbən sɛd: ''ðə ˈkɑmən bɪg θri θɪŋz ðət ðeɪ [ðə ɔˈstreɪljən kəmˈpleɪnənts] ər ˈhɪtɪŋ ɔn ər ðə ˈkreɪzinəs əraʊnd wət ɪz ˌɪmˈpoʊzd ɔn ðə ˈfæməliz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðə ɛnˈkərɪʤmənt əv əˈbɔrʃən, ðə ˌɪnˈkrɛdəbəl kəˈmərʃəl ˈɛmfəsɪs ɔn ˈgɪtɪŋ ˈməni baɪ ˈɛni minz ˈnɛsəˌsɛri ənd ðə ˈtæktɪks juzd tɪ ˈsaɪləns dɪˈsɛnt.'' ˈmɪstər ˈræθbən sɛd ðə ʧərʧ hæd sɔt tɪ ˈbʊli ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə si ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃən ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈlidərˌʃɪp grup, ˈlusli ˈkɑmprəbəl tɪ ə ˈpristhʊd ˈɪntu ˈhævɪŋ əˈbɔrʃənz wɪn ˈmɪstər mɪˈskæˈvɪʤ bænd ˈɛniˌwən ɪn ðə grup frəm ˈhævɪŋ ˈʧɪldrən ɪn əˈbaʊt 1986 ˈʃɔrtli ˈæftər ˈhəbərdz dɛθ. ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə si ɔrg, ɛz ɪt ɪz noʊn, sɪmˈbɑlɪkəli saɪn ɪmˈplɔɪmənt ˈkɑnˌtrækts.

employees of a pennsylvania city, who have all seen their salaries cut to minimum wage as the mayor grapples with budget problems, are hoping a judge restores their paychecks in full. myfoxnepa.com scranton mayor chris doherty cut everyone's pay -- including his own -- on friday, saying the state's city is broke because the city council blocked his proposed tax increase. doherty, a democrat, warned nearly 400 police officers, firefighters and public works employees about his doomsday plan, prompting a lackawanna county judge to order the city to pay full wages to all employees, citing that it is a violation of their contracts. hours later, the payday envelopes went out, and, despite the judge's order, they were light. [pullquote] “this needs to be resolved," scranton firefighter and president of the local firefighters union john judge told foxnews.com. "my members are getting a check for $7.25 an hour. these are people that are the head of their households. they have mortgages. they have other living costs. they are now going to have to throw their bills in a hat and randomly pick what gets paid on time.” the judge was not in his chambers monday, but attorneys for the local city workers' unions were planning to go to court tuesday morning to ask him to hold doherty in contempt of court for violating the injunction. in addition to scaling back wages, move cut off overtime, worker's compensation and disability. the city of scranton has battled budget woes for years, but the problems reached a boiling point after the city council blocked plan to raise taxes to cover a $16.8 million shortfall, opting instead to borrow money to cover the budget gap. “the mayor is trying to the council into doing what he wants, but the employees that are paying the price,” judge said, adding that the workers in his department saw their go from about $1,500 every two weeks after deductions to a gross pay of about $600. “this is not a case of no cash. a problem.” the cuts were sudden, as city employees were only given eight days' notice. doherty also claimed last week that there is only $5,000 left in the accounts. “the employees are the ones in the middle of this battle between the mayor and the council," said sam vitris, president of the public works union. “we’ve had four or five recovery plans over the years and none of them seemed to have worked. the stalemate between them has led the city to run out of money.” doherty has maintained for months that if the city council had not refused his 2012 budget proposal, which included a 29 percent tax hike, the city would not be in a dire situation. doherty did not return repeated calls for comment.	ɪmˈplɔɪiz əv ə ˌpɛnsəlˈveɪnjə ˈsɪti, hu hæv ɔl sin ðɛr ˈsæləriz kət tɪ ˈmɪnəməm weɪʤ ɛz ðə meɪər ˈgræpəlz wɪθ ˈbəʤɪt ˈprɑbləmz, ər ˈhoʊpɪŋ ə ʤəʤ rɪˈstɔrz ðɛr ˈpeɪˌʧɛks ɪn fʊl. ˈskræntən meɪər krɪs ˈdɔrti kət ˈɛvriˌwənz peɪ ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ hɪz oʊn ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, seɪɪŋ ðə steɪts ˈsɪti ɪz broʊk bɪˈkəz ðə ˈsɪti ˈkaʊnsəl blɑkt hɪz prəˈpoʊzd tæks ˌɪnˈkris. ˈdɔrti, ə ˈdɛməˌkræt, wɔrnd ˈnɪrli 400 pəˈlis ˈɔfɪsərz, ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz ənd ˈpəblɪk wərks ɪmˈplɔɪiz əˈbaʊt hɪz ˈdumzˌdeɪ plæn, ˈprɑmptɪŋ ə ˌlækəˈwɑnə ˈkaʊnti ʤəʤ tɪ ˈɔrdər ðə ˈsɪti tɪ peɪ fʊl ˈweɪʤɪz tɪ ɔl ɪmˈplɔɪiz, ˈsaɪtɪŋ ðət ɪt ɪz ə vaɪəˈleɪʃən əv ðɛr ˈkɑnˌtrækts. aʊərz ˈleɪtər, ðə ˈpeɪˌdeɪ ˈɛnvəˌloʊps wɛnt aʊt, ənd, dɪˈspaɪt ðə ˈʤəʤɪz ˈɔrdər, ðeɪ wər laɪt.

update on c.c.f. trial 24/3/2011 panagiotis returned to the trial today after being released a few days ago, having served without being sentenced (the greek law states that if your on remand for without being sentenced you are released). although the comrade so far has abstained from the procedure, he appeared today in the court and took a seat in the defendants stand. but he did not make clear if he will participate in the procedure, neither if he is “here” in the legal sense. his lawyer did not appear but said he remains his lawyer he just could not come today. the trial continued with the testimonies of the defence witnesses. first the owners of the apartments that rented in from september 2007 to january 2009. the owners spoke of a perfect tenant that completed all his responsibilities. after that testified the mother of who is also aunt. she lives on the floor, above the house that was later called a “safe house”. describing the people visiting her nephews house, she spoke of people who gathered to watch movies, play video games and have conversations without taking any precaution measures, with the windows always open and everything “out in the open”, as she said. she mentioned that she entered her nephews house many times and she never saw any, as she said, suspicious objects such as pots or wires. finally, describing the day the cops of the force raided her house and the one below hers, she said it was the worst experience of her life. “men with masks and guns obliged me to remain under 'house arrest' for three days, while they searched both houses. they didn't allow me to come into contact with anyone outside, neither to communicate with my son who they arrested without a lawyer”. the theatre continues next thursday. update on aris trial the trial began around 9. 30 comrades were in the court room as well as 30 outside. the defence witnesses are 47. last time 17 testified. today two more. the second witness describes the shooter as a very tall guy, skinny with long hair and a ponytail and said clearly that it was not aris. another witness, a foreign national with no known address is not appearing in court and the defence of aris insisted that his testimony is read in the room. in his testimony he describes a guy tall like a basketball player with long hair. worth mentioning is also that the court wanted to examine a that has had duties. aris defence immediately produced a of the supreme court stating this is illegal. after an agreement of the judge and the prosecutor, the cop will testify as a person with special knowledge, (on the mask with the d.n.a.), and not as person with duties. the theatre will continue on april the passion for freedom is stronger than their prisons	ˈəpˌdeɪt ɔn c.c.f. traɪəl rɪˈtərnd tɪ

delphi, ind. -- police say one of the two teenage girls killed last week after going for a hike in northern indiana recorded the voice of a suspect in their deaths. indiana state police played a clip of a voice saying “down the hill” during a wednesday news conference where officials appealed for more tips from the public and announced that $41,000 in reward money had been raised. audio released in connection with delphi teens homicide case authorities released this short audio clip in connection with the delphi, indiana teens homicide case. in the audio file, a man can be heard saying "down the hill." police said the photo of the suspect came from liberty german's phone. the bodies of liberty, and her friend abigail williams, were found on feb. 14 about a from an abandoned railroad bridge. officials stopped short of saying the voice in the recording was of the suspect seen in the photo. however, they hope someone can either recognize the man's voice or identify the suspect seen in the picture. authorities are confident they will find the killer and hope anyone with information will come forward. share this post to spread the word. posted by indy on wednesday, february 22, 2017 capt. david says the audio came from liberty cellphone. says liberty also captured an image of a man released by police last week of a man walking near the hiking trail outside delphi about the time she and abigail williams disappeared feb. 13, said. bursten said investigators certain the voice was that of the photographed man who investigators are calling the main suspect in the deaths. that man been identified and no arrests have been made. officials ruled out the possibility that more than one person was involved. the girls’ bodies were found feb. 14 in a rugged wooded area off the trail some 60 miles northwest of indianapolis. the remains were about about a from an abandoned railroad bridge part of a trail system where the teens planned to go hiking during a day off school in delphi, a rural community of about people. the audio quality is “not superb, but enough there that somebody could recognize this voice,” said. officials declined to release more information about how the girls were killed and what else liberty might have recorded on her phone. investigators have more video relevant to the investigation they are not releasing. they hailed german as a hero. “this young a hero, no doubt, to have the presence of mind to activate the video on her cell phone to record what we believe is criminal behavior that is about to occur,” said indiana state police sgt. tony slocum. greg massa, assistant special agent in charge of the indianapolis division, said as many as 20 fbi agents have been assisting state and local investigators. indiana state police superintendent doug carter became emotional when he spoke at a press conference wednesday. “why libby?

the wall street journal's bret stephens used the possibility of military intervention in syria to rewrite the history of the iraq war, falsely claiming the bush administration's case against iraq was supported by solid evidence. stephens, the journal's columnist and deputy editorial page editor for international opinion pages, criticized the obama administration's case for intervention in syria by comparing it to bush's decision to invade iraq, which he claimed was made based on "highly detailed" intelligence revealing weapons of mass destruction. stephens claimed the "testimony of u.n. inspectors like hans" supported the bush administration's case for war, and accusations that the bush administration lied were "libel" and "cheap slander": then there's the intel. in london the other day, mr. kerry invited the public to examine the administration's evidence of assad's use of chemical weapons, posted on whitehouse.gov. the "dossier" consists of a document heavy on blanket assertions such as "we assess with high confidence" and "we have a body of information," and "we have identified one hundred videos." by contrast, the bush administration made a highly detailed case on iraqi, including by colin powell at the security council. it also relied on the testimony of u.n. inspectors like hans, who reported in january 2003 that "there are strong indications that iraq produced more anthrax than it declared," that his inspectors had found "indications that the [nerve agent vx] was weaponized," and that iraq had "circumvented the restrictions" on the import of missile parts. the case the bush administration assembled on iraqi was far stronger than what the obama administration has offered on syria. and while i have few doubts that the case against assad is solid, it shouldn't shock democrats that the white house's "trust us" approach isn't winning converts. when you've spent years peddling the libel that the bush administration lied about iraq, don't be shocked when your goose gets cooked in the same foul sauce. so what should president obama say when he addresses the country tuesday night? he could start by apologizing to president bush for years of cheap slander. he won't. but hans told cnn in 2004 that the bush administration "chose to ignore" his team's concerns about the lack of solid evidence in favor of war, and that prior to the invasion the evidence ofs in iraq was revealed to be "shaky": "i think it's clear that in march, when the invasion took place, the evidence that had been brought forward was rapidly falling apart," hans, who oversaw the agency's investigation into whether iraq had chemical and biological weapons, said on cnn's "late edition with wolf blitzer." described the evidence secretary of state colin powell presented to the u.n. security council in february 2003 as "shaky," and said he related his opinion to u.s. officials, including national security adviser rice. "i think they chose to ignore us," said. furthermore, an investigation into the lead up to the iraq war found that statements president bush made about iraq misled the american people and congress by inaccurately depicting the available intelligence. the 2008 senate intelligence committee's report found that "policymakers' statements" in particular misrepresented the nature of contacts between iraq and al qaeda, and that bush's allegations "that iraq and had a partnership" were "not substantiated by the intelligence." the report also found that statements by bush and vice president cheney indicating that saddam hussein was prepared to gives to terrorists for use against the u.s. "were contradicted by available intelligence information." while there are serious questions about the wisdom of using military force in syria, any debate must include the facts -- not the journal's fanciful rewriting of history.	ðə wɔl strit ˈʤərnəlz brɛt ˈstɛfənz juzd ðə ˌpɑsəˈbɪləˌti əv ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˌɪntərˈvɛnʃən ɪn ˈsɪriə tɪ ˈriˌraɪt ðə ˈhɪstəri əv ðə ˌɪˈrɑk wɔr, ˈfɔlsli ˈkleɪmɪŋ ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃənz keɪs əˈgɛnst ˌɪˈrɑk wɑz səˈpɔrtɪd baɪ ˈsɑləd ˈɛvədəns. ˈstɛfənz, ðə ˈʤərnəlz ˈkɑləmnəst ənd ˈdɛpjəti ˌɛdəˈtɔriəl peɪʤ ˈɛdɪtər fər ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl əˈpɪnjən ˈpeɪʤɪz, ˈkrɪtəˌsaɪzd ðə ˌoʊˈbɑmə ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃənz keɪs fər ˌɪntərˈvɛnʃən ɪn ˈsɪriə baɪ kəmˈpɛrɪŋ ɪt tɪ ˈbʊʃɪz dɪˈsɪʒən tɪ ˌɪnˈveɪd ˌɪˈrɑk, wɪʧ hi kleɪmd wɑz meɪd beɪst ɔn "ˈhaɪli dɪˈteɪld" ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns rɪˈvilɪŋ ˈwɛpənz əv mæs dɪˈstrəkʃən. ˈstɛfənz kleɪmd ðə "ˈtɛstɪˌmoʊni əv u.n. ˌɪnˈspɛktərz laɪk hɑns" səˈpɔrtɪd ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃənz keɪs fər wɔr, ənd ˌækjəˈzeɪʃənz ðət ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən laɪd wər "ˈlaɪbɛl" ənd "ʧip sˈlændər": ðɛn ðɛrz ðə ˌɪnˈtɛl. ɪn ˈləndən ðə ˈəðər deɪ, ˈmɪstər. ˈkɛri ˌɪnˈvaɪtɪd ðə ˈpəblɪk tɪ ɪgˈzæmɪn ðə ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃənz ˈɛvədəns əv əˈsɑdz juz əv ˈkɛmɪkəl ˈwɛpənz, ˈpoʊstɪd ɔn whitehouse.gov. ðə "ˌdɔsˈjeɪ" kənˈsɪsts əv ə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt ˈhɛvi ɔn ˈblæŋkɪt əˈsərʃənz səʧ ɛz "wi əˈsɛs wɪθ haɪ ˈkɑnfədɛns" ənd "wi hæv ə ˈbɑdi əv ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən," ənd "wi hæv aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd wən ˈhənərd ˈvɪdioʊz." baɪ ˈkɑntræst, ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən meɪd ə ˈhaɪli dɪˈteɪld keɪs ɔn ˌɪˈræki, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ baɪ ˈkoʊlɪn ˈpɑwɛl æt ðə sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈkaʊnsəl. ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ rɪˈlaɪd ɔn ðə ˈtɛstɪˌmoʊni əv u.n. ˌɪnˈspɛktərz laɪk hɑns, hu ˌriˈpɔrtəd ɪn ˈʤænjuˌɛri 2003 ðət "ðɛr ər strɔŋ ˌɪndəˈkeɪʃənz ðət ˌɪˈrɑk prəˈdust mɔr ˈænθræks ðən ɪt dɪˈklɛrd," ðət hɪz ˌɪnˈspɛktərz hæd faʊnd "ˌɪndəˈkeɪʃənz ðət ðə [nərv ˈeɪʤənt vx] wɑz weaponized," ənd ðət ˌɪˈrɑk hæd "ˌsərkəmˈvɛntɪd ðə riˈstrɪkʃənz" ɔn ðə ˌɪmˈpɔrt əv ˈmɪsəl pɑrts. ðə keɪs ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən əˈsɛmbəld ɔn ˌɪˈræki wɑz fɑr ˈstrɔŋgər ðən wət ðə ˌoʊˈbɑmə ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən həz ˈɔfərd ɔn ˈsɪriə. ənd waɪl aɪ hæv fju daʊts ðət ðə keɪs əˈgɛnst əˈsɑd ɪz ˈsɑləd, ɪt ˈʃʊdənt ʃɑk ˈdɛməˌkræts ðət ðə waɪt ˈhaʊsɪz "trəst ˈjuˈɛs" əˈproʊʧ ˈɪzənt ˈwɪnɪŋ ˈkɑnvərts. wɪn juv spɛnt jɪrz ˈpɛdəlɪŋ ðə ˈlaɪbɛl ðət ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən laɪd əˈbaʊt ˌɪˈrɑk, doʊnt bi ʃɑkt wɪn jʊr gus gɪts kʊkt ɪn ðə seɪm faʊl sɔs. soʊ wət ʃʊd ˈprɛzɪdənt ˌoʊˈbɑmə seɪ wɪn hi ˈæˈdrɛsɪz ðə ˈkəntri ˈtuzˌdeɪ naɪt? hi kʊd stɑrt baɪ əˈpɑləˌʤaɪzɪŋ tɪ ˈprɛzɪdənt bʊʃ fər jɪrz əv ʧip sˈlændər. hi woʊnt. bət hɑns toʊld ˈsiˈɛˈnɛn ɪn 2004 ðət ðə bʊʃ ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən "ʧoʊz tɪ ˌɪgˈnɔr" hɪz timz kənˈsərnz əˈbaʊt ðə læk əv ˈsɑləd ˈɛvədəns ɪn ˈfeɪvər əv wɔr, ənd ðət praɪər tɪ ðə ˌɪnˈveɪʒən ðə ˈɛvədəns əv ɪn ˌɪˈrɑk wɑz rɪˈvild tɪ bi "ˈʃeɪki": "aɪ θɪŋk ɪts klɪr ðət ɪn mɑrʧ, wɪn ðə ˌɪnˈveɪʒən tʊk pleɪs, ðə ˈɛvədəns ðət hæd bɪn brɔt ˈfɔrwərd wɑz ˈræpədli ˈfɑlɪŋ əˈpɑrt," hɑns, hu ˈoʊvərˌsɔ ðə ˈeɪʤənsiz ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən ˈɪntu ˈwɛðər ˌɪˈrɑk hæd ˈkɛmɪkəl ənd ˌbaɪəˈlɑʤɪkəl ˈwɛpənz, sɛd ɔn ˈsiˈɛˈnɛnz "leɪt ɪˈdɪʃən wɪθ wʊlf ˈblɪtsər." dɪˈskraɪbd ðə ˈɛvədəns ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri əv steɪt ˈkoʊlɪn ˈpɑwɛl pərˈzɛnəd tɪ ðə u.n. sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈkaʊnsəl ɪn ˈfɛbruˌɛri 2003 ɛz "ˈʃeɪki," ənd sɛd hi rɪˈleɪtɪd hɪz əˈpɪnjən tɪ juz. əˈfɪʃəlz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈnæʃənəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ædˈvaɪzər raɪs.

of course, since the is a flat amount, some people with lower benefits might receive a bigger increase than they would under the current system, a senior administration official from the white house explained. conversely, the offsets a smaller portion of the cut when benefits are higher. this is not a popular move. according to a recent abc post poll, 51 percent of respondents opposed changing the way social security benefits are calculated so that benefits increase at a slower rate, while 37 percent supported such a change (11 percent had no opinion). the survey said there were no partisan differences, but among people 65 and older opposition was 64 percent. the “three-legged stool” of retirement that is, pensions, savings and social security has already become more of a lopsided stool, because pensions have been waning for years. and the social security leg is providing most of the support for many retirees: about 43 percent of single people and 22 percent of married couples rely on the benefits for more than 90 percent of their income, the social security administration says. more than half of couples and 73 percent of singles draw more than half their income from the program. the new measure of inflation would alter the way their benefits increase. right now, social security is pegged to the c.p.i.-w, which tracks the typical purchases of a sample of urban wage and clerical workers, but does not include retirees. (social security uses this index because it was the only one that existed when the benefits were first adjusted for inflation.) the chained includes some retirees. the chained c.p.i. would more broadly account for how people change their buying habits when prices rise, substituting cheaper items for more expensive ones. when the price of steak increases, the current index considers that a consumer can switch to a cheaper cut, as explained in an paper. but the chained index would account for substitution between category types. so instead of buying cheaper beef, the consumer might switch to chicken. but critics argue that the elderly and disabled do not have the ability to substitute as much as other consumers. “when so much of their budget goes toward health care expenses,” said cristina martin firvida, director of financial security at, “you are not going to choose to replace a hip treatment with another treatment just because it is cheaper. there is a limit for substitution with older people. we already account for a great deal of it in the current calculation.” many opponents say that neither inflation index accounts for the higher health care expenses that older people have.	əv kɔrs, sɪns ðə ɪz ə flæt əˈmaʊnt, səm ˈpipəl wɪθ loʊər ˈbɛnəfɪts maɪt rɪˈsiv ə ˈbɪgər ˌɪnˈkris ðən ðeɪ wʊd ˈəndər ðə ˈkɑrənt ˈsɪstəm, ə ˈsinjər ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən əˈfɪʃəl frəm ðə waɪt haʊs ɪkˈspleɪnd. ˈkɑnvərsli, ðə ˈɔfˌsɛts ə sˈmɔlər ˈpɔrʃən əv ðə kət wɪn ˈbɛnəfɪts ər haɪər. ðɪs ɪz nɑt ə ˈpɑpjələr muv. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə ˈrisənt ˈeɪˌbiˌsi poʊst poʊl, 51 pərˈsɛnt əv rɪˈspɑndənts əˈpoʊzd ˈʧeɪnʤɪŋ ðə weɪ ˈsoʊʃəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈbɛnəfɪts ər ˈkælkjəˌleɪtɪd soʊ ðət ˈbɛnəfɪts ˌɪnˈkris æt ə sloʊər reɪt, waɪl 37 pərˈsɛnt səˈpɔrtɪd səʧ ə ʧeɪnʤ 11 pərˈsɛnt hæd noʊ əˈpɪnjən). ðə ˈsərˌveɪ sɛd ðɛr wər noʊ ˈpɑrtəzən ˈdɪfərənsɪz, bət əˈməŋ ˈpipəl 65 ənd ˈoʊldər ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən wɑz 64 pərˈsɛnt. ðə stool”” əv rɪˈtaɪərmənt ðət ɪz, ˈpɛnʃənz, ˈseɪvɪŋz ənd ˈsoʊʃəl sɪˈkjʊrəti həz ɔˈrɛdi bɪˈkəm mɔr əv ə ˈlɑpˈsaɪdɪd stul, bɪˈkəz ˈpɛnʃənz hæv bɪn ˈweɪnɪŋ fər jɪrz. ənd ðə ˈsoʊʃəl sɪˈkjʊrəti lɛg ɪz prəˈvaɪdɪŋ moʊst əv ðə səˈpɔrt fər ˈmɛni riˈtaɪˈriz: əˈbaʊt 43 pərˈsɛnt əv ˈsɪŋgəl ˈpipəl ənd 22 pərˈsɛnt əv ˈmɛrid ˈkəpəlz rɪˈlaɪ ɔn ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts fər mɔr ðən 90 pərˈsɛnt əv ðɛr ˈɪnˌkəm, ðə ˈsoʊʃəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən sɪz. mɔr ðən hæf əv ˈkəpəlz ənd 73 pərˈsɛnt əv ˈsɪŋgəlz drɔ mɔr ðən hæf ðɛr ˈɪnˌkəm frəm ðə ˈproʊˌgræm. ðə nu ˈmɛʒər əv ˌɪnˈfleɪʃən wʊd ˈɔltər ðə weɪ ðɛr ˈbɛnəfɪts ˌɪnˈkris. raɪt naʊ, ˈsoʊʃəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ɪz pɛgd tɪ ðə c.p.i.-w, wɪʧ træks ðə ˈtɪpɪkəl ˈpərʧəsɪz əv ə ˈsæmpəl əv ˈərbən weɪʤ ənd ˈklɛrɪkəl ˈwərkərz, bət dɪz nɑt ˌɪnˈklud riˈtaɪˈriz.

thanasi and his wife sophia were shopping today and while in the check out line, amongst themselves in the language of their parents and grandparents— greek, they were verbally accosted by a woman who like the fact they were speaking a foreign language. they are both and are raising their kids to speak greek, as well as the obvious english. and like many greek americans, speak greek amongst themselves to not only practice the language but also to keep it viable in their families. “speak fucking english, this is america” the woman behind them said as they spoke amongst themselves and minded their own business. thanasi captured the end of the exchange on video and posted to his facebook, just as the manager of the store came to ask the women to leave. “we allow that kind of abuse of our customers,” she told the couple as she threw the woman out. thanasi added about his experience: “sophia and i were in line at the market, and naturally, speaking greek. out of nowhere this lady behind us decides to give us a modern history lesson and tells us, “speak english, this is america.” “furthermore, she demonstrated her use of the english language by using every swear word to describe us and how we belong here.”	thanasi* ənd hɪz waɪf ˈsoʊfiə wər ˈʃɑpɪŋ təˈdeɪ ənd waɪl ɪn ðə ʧɛk aʊt laɪn, əˈməŋst ðɛmˈsɛlvz ɪn ðə ˈlæŋgwɪʤ əv ðɛr ˈpɛrənts ənd grandparents—— grik, ðeɪ wər vərˈbæli əˈkɑstəd baɪ ə ˈwʊmən hu laɪk ðə fækt ðeɪ wər ˈspikɪŋ ə ˈfɔrən ˈlæŋgwɪʤ. ðeɪ ər boʊθ ənd ər ˈreɪzɪŋ ðɛr kɪdz tɪ spik grik, ɛz wɛl ɛz ðə ˈɑbviəs ˈɪŋlɪʃ. ənd laɪk ˈmɛni grik əˈmɛrɪkənz, spik grik əˈməŋst ðɛmˈsɛlvz tɪ nɑt ˈoʊnli ˈpræktɪs ðə ˈlæŋgwɪʤ bət ˈɔlsoʊ tɪ kip ɪt ˈvaɪəbəl ɪn ðɛr ˈfæməliz. ˈfəkɪŋ ˈɪŋlɪʃ, ðɪs ɪz america”” ðə ˈwʊmən bɪˈhaɪnd ðɛm sɛd ɛz ðeɪ spoʊk əˈməŋst ðɛmˈsɛlvz ənd ˈmaɪndɪd ðɛr oʊn ˈbɪznɪs. ˈkæpʧərd ðə ɛnd əv ðə ɪksˈʧeɪnʤ ɔn ˈvɪdioʊ ənd ˈpoʊstɪd tɪ hɪz ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ʤɪst ɛz ðə ˈmænɪʤər əv ðə stɔr keɪm tɪ æsk ðə ˈwɪmən tɪ liv. əˈlaʊ ðət kaɪnd əv əˈbjuz əv ɑr customers,”,” ʃi toʊld ðə ˈkəpəl ɛz ʃi θru ðə ˈwʊmən aʊt. ˈædɪd əˈbaʊt hɪz ɪkˈspɪriəns: ənd aɪ wər ɪn laɪn æt ðə ˈmɑrkɪt, ənd ˈnæʧərəli, ˈspikɪŋ grik. aʊt əv ˈnoʊˌwɛr ðɪs ˈleɪdi bɪˈhaɪnd ˈjuˈɛs ˌdɪˈsaɪdz tɪ gɪv ˈjuˈɛs ə ˈmɑdərn ˈhɪstəri ˈlɛsən ənd tɛlz ˈjuˈɛs, ˈɪŋlɪʃ, ðɪs ɪz america.”.” ““furthermore, ʃi ˈdɛmənˌstreɪtɪd hər juz əv ðə ˈɪŋlɪʃ ˈlæŋgwɪʤ baɪ ˈjuzɪŋ ˈɛvəri swɛr wərd tɪ dɪˈskraɪb ˈjuˈɛs ənd haʊ wi bɪˈlɔŋ here.”.”

curiosity has led me once again down the road of the weekend project… i was doing some reading on different string hashing algorithms and felt the urge to see if i could visualize the grouping and collision tendencies of them, so i fired up visual studio and wrote a quick and dirty app. how it works: the appropriately named “buckets” is actually very simple. it works by taking a image and creating a hash bucket out of each pixel in the image. it then generates a series of either incremental or random strings and runs those strings against the selected hashing algorithm. after the hash is computed, it finds the appropriate bucket and increments a value in the bucket to denote that a hash value was given to that bucket. this generated data is then used to create either a gradient map or three dimensional surface to visualize the different hash frequencies. results: the results were actually surprising. in my first tests i only used randomly generated data (i was hesitant at first about simply using a generator, as some generators can produce patterns of their own, but a good hash should evenly distribute even non random data) and could not, despite my best efforts, produce any sort of discernible patterns even though i knew that some of the less capable algorithms should have tendencies. still not fully sure this is correct, and if anyone has any ideas please feel free to let me know, but i eventually concluded that the set of all possible keys was just so large that i would need to try an extremely large number of keys before i began to see patterns emerge. next i decided to simply use predictable keys. i chose two different methods for this. first was to simply loop an integer upward and hash the integer as a string. this had the benefit of having no alphabetic characters generated so it offered a different look on the algorithms performance. the second method was to simply walk a character string and convert the integer value into a corresponding string value. these methods began to yield much better results. for the simpler hashes such as the additive hash or exclusive-or(xor) hash the results were pitiful but the bernstein and hashes began to show some very interesting patterns. its clear how the sax hash is very dependent on key length and fails to produce well distributed hashes with smaller keys. i think it is also notable that under no circumstance was i able to get or to produce any kind of pattern. maybe with a bit more computing power and running more hashes i can get some pattern to bubble up. there are too many different possibilities for me to show here, but if you would like to see and play with the outputs yourself uploaded both the binary and sources for the app. download: you can find the source for the project

the topic of blog post is about finding a spouse using optimization models anna nagurney). this post is based on a paper published in entitled, “optimizing the marriage market: an application of the linear assignment model,” and in it, researchers apply the linear assignment problem to identify how to match potential (heterosexual) couples to find a new social optimum. while matching the couples is a textbook exercise, the researchers used a longitudinal dataset in switzerland to identify meaning weights to assign to each potential pairing. they find that the actual marriages are far from optimal. the weights are based on logistic regression models for predicting the likelihood of divorce from a longitudinal data set. the weights are based on four types of socioeconomic variables of each person in the set: age previous divorce (or not) education (high or low) nationality (swiss, western, or non-western) the weights for each pairing are not symmetric. for example, a wife is much more likely to divorce from a husband five years her junior than five years her senior. the assignment problem is an integer programming model that produces the lowest cost matching between two sets of items, such as individuals and jobs. here, the two sets of items are men and women. the assignment problem is totally unimodular, and therefore, can be efficiently solved via the hungarian algorithm. let: w = set of women m = set of men (with \|w\|=\|m\|) x{ij} = 1 if woman i is matched to man j, i in w and j in m c{ij} = the “cost” of matching woman i is to man j. the optimization problem is: a solution to the assignment problem admits exactly m=\|m\| = \|w\| variables with value 1 (the rest of the variables are zero). the structure here is a graph: one set of nodes represents the women and the other set of nodes represents the men. every women is connected to all the men (and none of the women) and vice versa. there are m! possible (corresponding to some permutation of possible pairings), and the assignment has m! extreme points. the hungarian algorithm works by finding the reduced cost matrix, by first subtracting the smallest value in each row from the entire row. this is repeated for each row, leaving a zero in each row. then, this is repeated over the columns. the resulting reduced matrix will have a zero in every column and every row, and all of its entries will be nonnegative. the optimal solution is identified by covering the zeros by adding lines and in a procedure. i put together a small excel spreadsheet with 9 men and women [link to my excel file and to the instructions], where i solve the assignment program. please download and use in an introductory lp class. the authors of the paper say that their method is an “innovative method of romantic partner allocation.” of course, this is no way to find a partner for life. however, the authors point out that they could substantially improve marriage survival by reallocating 68% of the pairings. they conclude that “current marriage markets are organized.” my day wish to my readers is that you organize your love life with or without the use of optimization models. advertisements	ðə ˈtɑpɪk əv blɔg poʊst ɪz əˈbaʊt ˈfaɪndɪŋ ə spaʊs ˈjuzɪŋ ɑptɪmɪˈzeɪʃən ˈmɑdəlz ˈænə nagurney). ðɪs poʊst ɪz beɪst ɔn ə ˈpeɪpər ˈpəblɪʃt ɪn ɛnˈtaɪtəld, ðə ˈmɛrɪʤ ˈmɑrkɪt: ən ˌæpləˈkeɪʃən əv ðə ˈlɪniər əˈsaɪnmənt model,”,” ənd ɪn ɪt, ˈrisərʧərz əˈplaɪ ðə ˈlɪniər əˈsaɪnmənt ˈprɑbləm tɪ aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪ haʊ tɪ mæʧ pəˈtɛnʃəl (ˌhɛtəroʊˈsɛkˌʃuəl) ˈkəpəlz tɪ faɪnd ə nu ˈsoʊʃəl ˈɑptɪməm. waɪl ˈmæʧɪŋ ðə ˈkəpəlz ɪz ə ˈtɛkstˌbʊk ˈɛksərˌsaɪz, ðə ˈrisərʧərz juzd ə ˌlɑnʤəˈtudənəl ˈdeɪtəˌsɛt ɪn sˈwɪtsərlənd tɪ aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪ ˈminɪŋ weɪts tɪ əˈsaɪn tɪ iʧ pəˈtɛnʃəl ˈpɛrɪŋ. ðeɪ faɪnd ðət ðə ˈækʧəwəl ˈmɛrɪʤɪz ər fɑr frəm ˈɑptɪməl. ðə weɪts ər beɪst ɔn ləˈʤɪstɪk rəˈgrɛʃən ˈmɑdəlz fər prɪˈdɪktɪŋ ðə ˈlaɪkliˌhʊd əv dɪˈvɔrs frəm ə ˌlɑnʤəˈtudənəl ˈdætə sɛt. ðə weɪts ər beɪst ɔn fɔr taɪps əv soʊˌsiˌoʊˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈvɛriəbəlz əv iʧ ˈpərsən ɪn ðə sɛt: eɪʤ ˈpriviəs dɪˈvɔrs (ər nɑt) ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən (haɪ ər loʊ) ˌnæʃəˈnælɪti (swɪs, ˈwɛstərn, ər non-western) ðə weɪts fər iʧ ˈpɛrɪŋ ər nɑt symmetric. fər ɪgˈzæmpəl, ə waɪf ɪz məʧ mɔr ˈlaɪkli tɪ dɪˈvɔrs frəm ə ˈhəzbənd faɪv jɪrz hər ˈʤunjər ðən faɪv jɪrz hər ˈsinjər. ðə əˈsaɪnmənt ˈprɑbləm ɪz ən ˈɪntəʤər ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ ˈmɑdəl ðət prəˈdusɪz ðə loʊəst kɔst ˈmæʧɪŋ bɪtˈwin tu sɛts əv ˈaɪtəmz, səʧ ɛz ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz ənd ʤɑbz. hir, ðə tu sɛts əv ˈaɪtəmz ər mɛn ənd ˈwɪmən. ðə əˈsaɪnmənt ˈprɑbləm ɪz ˈtoʊtəli unimodular, ənd ˈðɛrˌfɔr, kən bi ɪˈfɪʃəntli sɑlvd ˈviə ðə həŋˈgɛriən ˈælgərˌɪðəm. lɛt: ˈdəbəlju sɛt əv ˈwɪmən ɛm sɛt əv mɛn (wɪθ \|w\|=\|m\|) x{ij} 1 ɪf ˈwʊmən aɪ ɪz mæʧt tɪ mæn ʤeɪ, aɪ ɪn ˈdəbəlju ənd ʤeɪ ɪn ɛm c{ij} ðə ““cost”” əv ˈmæʧɪŋ ˈwʊmən aɪ ɪz tɪ mæn ʤeɪ. ðə ɑptɪmɪˈzeɪʃən ˈprɑbləm ɪz: ə səˈluʃən tɪ ðə əˈsaɪnmənt ˈprɑbləm ədˈmɪts ɪgˈzæktli m=\|m\| \|ˈdəbəlju\| ˈvɛriəbəlz wɪθ ˈvælju 1 (ðə rɛst əv ðə ˈvɛriəbəlz ər ˈziroʊ). ðə ˈstrəkʧər hir ɪz ə græf: wən sɛt əv noʊdz ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnts ðə ˈwɪmən ənd ðə ˈəðər sɛt əv noʊdz ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnts ðə mɛn. ˈɛvəri ˈwɪmən ɪz kəˈnɛktɪd tɪ ɔl ðə mɛn (ənd nən əv ðə ˈwɪmən) ənd vaɪs ˈvərsə. ðɛr ər ɛm!

× fires at nearby apartments likely set by same suspect, investigators say san diego arson investigators say two apartment fires in the area may have been started by the same person. the two blazes began about 30 minutes apart at two apartment complexes within blocks of each other. the fire was reported at 4 a.m. in normal heights in the 4000 block of hawley boulevard. a woman trapped on the second floor of that apartment building called for help through the window. firefighters used a ladder to rescue her. she is now hospitalized, but firefighters described her injuries as non-lifethreatening. just as roughly 30 firefighters knocked down the hawley boulevard fire , they had to turn their sirens back on and head several blocks west to kansas street in north park. there they found a fire that had spread to the second floor in an apartment located in the 4600 block of kansas street. a man who had been inside when the fire started, he and his neighbor made it out safely. san diego fire investigators say they believe the two fires as arson, they have a suspect in mind, but requested that fox 5 not release his name, since this is an open investigation. witness robin truex said she is best friends with the woman who is now hospitalized and acts as caregiver for the man displaced by the second fire. “i assumed that it was electrical, because i just imagine anybody would do something like that, come to find out my best set her place on fire too. she almost died. in the hospital right now,” truex said through tears. truex told fox 5 she believes she and her friend named shauna are being targeted by her best friend. “she said her place was set on fire. he set her living room on fire, he shoved her in the bedroom and set her house on fire,” said robin. robin also said she and shauna had been trying to help the young man. she know why he turned on them. “because he seemed to be a nice guy and kind of down on his luck, i just never dreamed he would do something like this ever. i just imagine anyone doing something like that.” firefighters said between the two fires, damage is estimated at $500,000.	×* faɪərz æt ˈnɪrˈbaɪ əˈpɑrtmənts ˈlaɪkli sɛt baɪ seɪm ˈsəˌspɛkt, ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz seɪ sæn diˈeɪgoʊ ˈɑrsən ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz seɪ tu əˈpɑrtmənt faɪərz ɪn ðə ˈɛriə meɪ hæv bɪn ˈstɑrtɪd baɪ ðə seɪm ˈpərsən. ðə tu ˈbleɪzɪz bɪˈgæn əˈbaʊt 30 ˈmɪnəts əˈpɑrt æt tu əˈpɑrtmənt ˈkɑmplɛksəz wɪˈθɪn blɑks əv iʧ ˈəðər. ðə faɪər wɑz ˌriˈpɔrtəd æt 4 a.m. ɪn ˈnɔrməl haɪts ɪn ðə 4000 blɑk əv ˈhɔli ˈbʊləˌvɑrd. ə ˈwʊmən træpt ɔn ðə ˈsɛkənd flɔr əv ðət əˈpɑrtmənt ˈbɪldɪŋ kɔld fər hɛlp θru ðə ˈwɪndoʊ. ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz juzd ə ˈlædər tɪ ˈrɛskju hər. ʃi ɪz naʊ ˈhɑspɪtəˌlaɪzd, bət ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz dɪˈskraɪbd hər ˈɪnʤəriz ɛz non-lifethreatening. ʤɪst ɛz ˈrəfli 30 ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz nɑkt daʊn ðə ˈhɔli ˈbʊləˌvɑrd faɪər ðeɪ hæd tɪ tərn ðɛr ˈsaɪrənz bæk ɔn ənd hɛd ˈsɛvərəl blɑks wɛst tɪ ˈkænzəs strit ɪn nɔrθ pɑrk. ðɛr ðeɪ faʊnd ə faɪər ðət hæd sprɛd tɪ ðə ˈsɛkənd flɔr ɪn ən əˈpɑrtmənt ˈloʊˌkeɪtəd ɪn ðə 4600 blɑk əv ˈkænzəs strit. ə mæn hu hæd bɪn ˌɪnˈsaɪd wɪn ðə faɪər ˈstɑrtɪd, hi ənd hɪz ˈneɪbər meɪd ɪt aʊt ˈseɪfli. sæn diˈeɪgoʊ faɪər ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz seɪ ðeɪ bɪˈliv ðə tu faɪərz ɛz ˈɑrsən, ðeɪ hæv ə ˈsəˌspɛkt ɪn maɪnd, bət rɪkˈwɛstɪd ðət fɑks 5 nɑt riˈlis hɪz neɪm, sɪns ðɪs ɪz ən ˈoʊpən ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən. ˈwɪtnəs ˈrɑbɪn ˈtruˌɛks sɛd ʃi ɪz bɛst frɛndz wɪθ ðə ˈwʊmən hu ɪz naʊ ˈhɑspɪtəˌlaɪzd ənd ækts ɛz ˈkɛrˌgɪvər fər ðə mæn dɪˈspleɪst baɪ ðə ˈsɛkənd faɪər. əˈsumd ðət ɪt wɑz ɪˈlɛktrɪkəl, bɪˈkəz aɪ ʤɪst ˌɪˈmæʤən ˈɛnibədi wʊd du ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk ðət, kəm tɪ faɪnd aʊt maɪ bɛst sɛt hər pleɪs ɔn faɪər tu. ʃi ˈɔlˌmoʊst daɪd. ɪn ðə ˈhɑˌspɪtəl raɪt now,”,” ˈtruˌɛks sɛd θru tɪrz. ˈtruˌɛks toʊld fɑks 5 ʃi bɪˈlivz ʃi ənd hər frɛnd neɪmd ˈʃɔnə ər biɪŋ ˈtɑrgətɪd baɪ hər bɛst frɛnd. sɛd hər pleɪs wɑz sɛt ɔn faɪər. hi sɛt hər ˈlɪvɪŋ rum ɔn faɪər, hi ʃəvd hər ɪn ðə ˈbɛˌdrum ənd sɛt hər haʊs ɔn fire,”,” sɛd ˈrɑbɪn. ˈrɑbɪn ˈɔlsoʊ sɛd ʃi ənd ˈʃɔnə hæd bɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ hɛlp ðə jəŋ mæn. ʃi noʊ waɪ hi tərnd ɔn ðɛm. hi simd tɪ bi ə nis gaɪ ənd kaɪnd əv daʊn ɔn hɪz lək, aɪ ʤɪst ˈnɛvər drimd hi wʊd du ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk ðɪs ˈɛvər. aɪ ʤɪst ˌɪˈmæʤən ˈɛniˌwən duɪŋ ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk that.”*.” ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz sɛd bɪtˈwin ðə tu faɪərz, ˈdæmɪʤ ɪz ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd æt
i only started studying te reo at te this year, but i knew straight away that there was something different about it and not just the fact that we use rods instead of pen and paper, writes nadine millar. shame is one of the biggest barriers many of us face in learning. the word whakamā means “to whiten” yet so much than that. shame and fear of speaking something that only affects shy people. even the most confident speakers can lose their voice sometimes. heard people deliver powerful prepared whaikōrero, or recite beautifully, only to see them clam up and stumble when the formalities are over and conversations around the table take on a casual tone. the worst part is, often for it. whispering behind hands, people say things like, “he’s fluent on the paepae, but he ask for a cup of tea.” little wonder scared to open our mouths. not only did we inherit the fear of speaking from our ancestors, many of whom were beaten or made to feel stupid for using their native tongue, but often, we put each other down as well. this an attitude find in a te class. in fact, the first thing you learn as a student of te is that upholding each mana is paramount. the five governing rules of te intrinsically recognise that for many of us, the hurdles we face are emotional rather than intellectual, and that the people around us can either magnify those hurdles or help us overcome them. i only started te this year, but i knew straight away that there was something different about its approach and it just the fact that we use rods) to learn instead of pen and paper. my teacher, te o’sullivan, says one of the first lessons people learn in her class is to see with their ears and hear with their eyes. about using all your senses to learn. students watch how the are laid down and follow along, creating pictures and describing what we see. more complex sentences evolve over time as each skill improves. a great way of some of the language structures that simply exist in english, because the ambition is not to translate pākehā sentences into, but to unlock language in our subconscious mind. more importantly, te aims to get people speaking from day one. te is different in other ways, too. it group learning over individual assessment, recognising that “ako” encompasses both teaching and learning. in other words, the basis of learning is partnership, not testing. hond, chair of te o te, told me that for, learning is so closely aligned to our identity and our hopes for our own children that we often put too much pressure on ourselves. “there are so many emotions people go through while learning. the idea with te is to try and limit the fear and get the group to work together.” when the basis of learning is partnership, natural that your classmates begin to feel like which is why always an annual get together. this te hui was hosted by my rohe, te ki te o te (lower north island). it was held at marae, just down the road from me. i put down my name to help and was assigned the role of photographer. it was a job that gave me a eye view of everything happening across the weekend from the working to cater for the manuhiri, to the wardens directing traffic in the bitter cold, to the many and varied workshops for the manuhiri. the theme for this hui was “hoki mai ki te orokohanga” returning to the beginnings of te. on the first night, after dinner, and stood to share their memories of the first te teachers in their rohe. almost all those early teachers were native speakers. they recognised that of the language needed to happen in the community and within our homes rather than in schools and universities. a philosophy that still guides te today. a place for formal instruction, but unless people are able to use outside the classroom, within our and communities, the survival of our language will always be under threat. dame te heikōkō and te developed te in the 1970s. for many people, especially coasties, and are household names. was an author, artist and academic. was a prolific composer with hundreds of songs to her name best known among them e and e. of whakapapa, both and were at the forefront of the movement and instrumental in the development of many of the institutions we now take for granted: reo, and of course, te. together, and travelled the country, finding native speakers and training them to become teachers. there are now hundreds of classes around the country across 10 regions, plus in australia. when passed away, carver greg brightwell presented the te with a huia. this is a beautiful treasure box adorned with and it now journeys around the country, just as and did, continuing their work to celebrate te reo and ensure that it will never be lost. by the end of the weekend, taken over a thousand photos. going through them on sunday night, i was struck by a few things. the first is that impossible to tell who among us can speak just by looking at picture. i seem to need to remind myself of it again and again. perhaps to do with of my own insecurities. i worry sometimes not “māori enough” or “māori in the right way”. but it matter what you look like, or where you come from. if you want to speak, te will teach you no hea, ko wai. more to thent, we need to challenge the common misconception that being is a for speaking. there are fluent pākehā speakers among us always have been. why there was such a diverse group of people at the hui. this is the kind of new zealand i want to live in. a country in which diversity just mean “we invited one, one and one woman to our panel”. but a country where pākehā are just as comfortable walking in a world as have had to become walking in a pākehā world. not “becoming one people” but living side by side as equals, celebrating the things that make our cultures unique. the other observation i made was how much laughter dominated the weekend. and i just mean people smiled, i mean, people laughed so hard the photos were all blurry. inside the tent watching the groups present their skits on stage, we laughed so much i thought we were going to shake the pegs out of the ground. the performances ranged from complex storylines with advanced language to simple ditties accompanied by actions. it really matter what the skits were or how polished they were, all that mattered was that we celebrated what people had to offer. it made me realise that perfection is not only impossible, but kind of irrelevant. enjoying the journey is a better goal than never making a mistake. knowing more words and phrases next year than we knew last year, is a better goal than fluency. feeling confident to try, and supporting others to try, is a better goal than being the best. because it may well be that the best antidote to the shame and fear that creeps up on us, is a little bit of laughter. the last photos i took were of the poroporaki, the farewell. it was the only time the mood in the tent became sombre. was offered and tears began to flow. from te ki taranaki, hosts of next hui, came forward to lift the in preparation for her next journey. a soft lament floated through the tent as the made her way out into the light, leading the way for the next generation of reo speakers to follow. the society section is sponsored by aut. as a contemporary university focused on providing exceptional learning experiences, developing research and forging

(written from a production point of view real world article "don't be a dick!" wil wheaton at pax 2007 richard william wheaton (born 29 july 1972; age 46), better known as wil wheaton, is an american actor and writer best known for playing wesley crusher on star trek: the next generation throughout its first four seasons. although he left the show following "final mission", he would return as a guest star four more times twice in the fifth season and twice in the seventh season. more recently, wheaton was briefly seen as wesley at the beginning of star trek nemesis during william t. riker and deanna wedding. most of his scenes from this movie were cut, but they can be found on the special edition dvd. according to his blog, in 2009, wheaton returned to the star trek franchise when he voiced members of nero's crew in j.j. abrams' star trek, among others the one played by joe quinto. ([1]; star trek disc releases, audio commentary) on 18 january 2017 it was announced that an asteroid has been named after him, 391257 wilwheaton. he shares this honor with fellow trek alums george takei and nichols, as well as gene roddenberry himself. [2] contents show] early acting career edit wheaton was born in burbank, california. he married anne prince in 1999. he lives with his wife and two in pasadena, california. wheaton made his television acting debut in the 1981 movie a long way home, in which he played the younger version of the lead character. he then voiced the character of martin in the popular 1982 don bluth film the secret of (which featured a score by jerry goldsmith), after which he appeared in the films and hillie, the buddy system, and the last starfighter. wheaton had a speaking role in the latter film, but the scenes featuring his dialogue were cut in post-production. marc alaimo, barbara bosson, and meg wyllie also appeared in the last starfighter. prior to being cast as wesley crusher, wheaton was best known for his role as gordie in the acclaimed 1986 film stand by me, directed by rob reiner. the following year, wheaton on an episode of family ties, appearing with brian bonsall. bonsall began appearing on as alexander just as wheaton was leaving that series. also in 1987, wheaton appeared in the tv movie the man who fell to earth with robert and bruce mcgill and starred in the horror film, the curse, along with his sister, amy. when was originally being developed, the character of wesley crusher was actually a girl named "leslie crusher". it was writer david who suggested to gene roddenberry that the character be a boy and recommended wheaton for the part. robert justman also advocated casting, and following a typical audition, the young actor ultimately won the role. [3] wheaton received three nominations from the young artist awards for his role as wesley crusher, winning one of them. although he enjoyed his time on and praises the work of his fellow actors on the show, wheaton has been vocal in his dislike of his own character, echoing the sentiments of the more vocal fans who found the character to be annoying. wheaton left the show as a regular in the fourth season so he could pursue offers to appear in feature films. the producers intentionally left open the possibility of wheaton returning in guest appearances, and he did so in four later episodes. (star trek: the next generation companion ed., p. 149) wheaton noted that "patrick [stewart] never treated me like i was a kid. we had directors who treated me like i was a kid." he also saw stewart as someone he always learned from when acting with him. ("selected crew analysis year four crew profile: wesley crusher", season 4 dvd special feature) post-tng acting career edit films edit after, wheaton portrayed the character of denizen joey in the 1991 film toy soldiers, with michael champion. he with actor aron eisenberg in the 1993 independent drama the liars' club and starred in the 1995 horror movie mr. stitch with ron perlman. he also had a supporting role in pie in the sky (which featured his brent in a cameo). although he has worked primarily on independent films, he did make a brief return to mainstream cinema when he received a role in the 1997 disney comedy with his "yesterday's enterprise" christopher mcdonald, as well as clancy brown. his later independent film credits include foreign correspondents (1999), the girls' room (2000), and jane white is sick & twisted (2002). his performance in the latter film won him the best actor award from the melbourne underground film festival. in 2000, wheaton worked on two projects for the independent film production company, united film organization (ufo). the first was the sci-fi thriller deep core, in which he with's terry farrell and star trek: voyager guest actor bruce mcgill. the second was the horror flick python, which sean whalen... and a really big snake. television edit wheaton also made several television guest appearances, including an episode of diagnosis murder, which also featured cameos by actors george takei, walter koenig, barrett, and grace lee whitney, as well as lost in space star and star trek: deep space nine guest star bill mumy. in addition, wheaton can be seen in a few tv movies, including the day lincoln was shot. in this historical drama produced for the network, wheaton played robert todd lincoln, the first son of abraham lincoln and mary todd lincoln the latter of whom was portrayed by star trek: insurrection star donna murphy. the movie also featured fellow trek alumni gregory and titus welliver. in 2005, he in an episode of csi: crime scene investigation with voyager guest wallace langham. in october 2007, wheaton shot an episode of the cbs series revolving around a convention. in the episode, entitled "graphic," wheaton portrays a loathsome comic book artist who is robbed of a rare and valuable comic he owns. the episode aired on 23 november, 2007 and also featured star trek: the search for spock actor christopher lloyd as the artist of the book stolen from character. wheaton on the cbs series criminal minds in an episode which aired 22 october, 2008. wheaton posted a chronicle of his experiences on the set on his blog [4] and later in his most recent book sunken treasure. [5] he also appeared in the 26 august, 2009 episode of leverage entitled "the two live crew job" with noa tishby. in 2009, wheaton appeared as himself or, rather, an "evil" version of himself in a guest role on the cbs sitcom the big bang theory, in which his star trek persona as wesley crusher was emphatically acknowledged. in 2010, wheaton announced on his twitter account (and later his website) that he will be "playing evil wil wheaton again" for an episode to begin taping on 2 march, 2010. [6] [7] making good on his promise, wheaton has subsequently appeared in a number of episodes of the series, having become the most frequent recurring guest star with a star trek pedigree. wheaton reunited with brent on the series in the fifth season episode "the russian rocket reaction". in the same episode fun was poked at role in stand by me, when the writers had one of the main characters state, "(...) but i chose to go to a party thrown by the one kid from stand by me that no one remembers." [8] it was partly on the strength of his performance in this movie that wheaton was chosen for the role of wesley crusher. in, wheaton appeared on the series eureka in a recurrent role as dr. isaac parrish, a scientist competing for a position on the mission to titan, as well as vying for dr. fargo's love interest. he and fargo are quite often at odds, starting with when they were both campers at a science summer camp. voice-over work edit in recent years, wheaton has been working prominently as a voice actor for several video games and animated tv shows. he can be heard in several ghost recon games, as well as ii. in three grand theft auto games san andreas, liberty city stories, and vice city stories he can be heard as radio news personality richard burns. on television, wheaton primarily voiced on teen titans and cosmic boy on legion of super heroes. his voice can also be heard in the batman: the brave and the bold episode "the fall of the blue beetle", in which he voices ted kord, the second dc comics character to bear the name blue beetle. [9] in addition, wheaton voiced himself in an episode of seth family guy in which he and his cast mates (also providing their own voices) were kidnapped by griffin (voiced by seth macfarlane). wheaton has also been voicing the recurring role of mike morningstar aka in cartoon network's ben 10: alien force. in november 2009, wheaton revealed that he did voice work on j.j. abrams' star trek. specifically, he provided the voices for all of thes aboard the narada, including those played in the film by jason brooks and joe quinto. wheaton became involved with the film after greg grunberg, who also provided his voice for star trek, informed wheaton that abrams was looking for voice actors and asked if he would be interested. excitedly answering in the affirmative (though thinking that it may be a prank), wheaton received a call from abrams shortly thereafter and was asked to come in to the studio and record some dialogue. according to wheaton, only after the recording session began did he know for sure that it was not a joke. most of dialogue was altered to make each of his characters sound different. [10] other appearances edit wheaton participated in the weakest link: star trek edition game show in 2001, along with burton, denise crosby, john de lancie, dawson, robert, armin shimerman, and william shatner. in 2008, wheaton worked with family guy creator (and ardent star trek fan) seth macfarlane on the latter's new web series, cavalcade. [11] in 2009, wheaton in the third season of the guild, an show about players of a online game. in 2013, wheaton made a brief appearance in a commercial advertisement for lincoln motor company automobiles, televised in the united states during the telecast of super bowl xlvii. [12] writing, blogging, and edit since his days on, wheaton has become a vocal representative and icon of the "geek" and "nerd" communities. he was one of the early internet "bloggers" and currently maintains his own blog called wil wheaton dot net, in addition to making regular updates on twitter. he is also a posting member at ("news for nerds, stuff that matters"). among his projects was blogging reviews of episodes of star trek: the next generation for tvsquad. [13] following a reduction of the site's budget by aol, however, the column was dropped. wheaton then went on to expand on the columns and produced a book, memories of the future, volume 1, in october 2009, with further volumes planned. he was also a regular host of indigital, part of the internet tv network, prior to the show's end. wheaton has published two collections of short stories with a memoir, just a geek, being published between. he also contributed a story to the 2005 anthology stories of strength. his most recent book, entitled the happiest days of our lives, was published in 2007. wheaton also wrote "te ipsum", one of the-based stories for ni shinkou, second volume of star trek: the manga. [14] wheaton currently writes a weekly column for la weekly. [15] in addition, he is currently writing a science fiction novella (potentially a novel), which he describes as "...a noir kinda thing, set in a future los angeles. (it's not blade runner. [...] i've taken the appropriate steps to make sure it doesn't go there.) [16] wheaton is also a contributor to the youtube company geek and sundry, for which he produces and hosts the series tabletop. wheaton, a self-professed lifelong gamer, plays various board and card games with friends (from acting, his personal life and the internet), including rod roddenberry [17] and jeri ryan (with whom he played star trek catan).

the chairman of presumptive republican presidential nominee mitt national steering committee on tuesday angrily shouted for a cnn anchor to “put an obama bumper sticker on your forehead” after she tried to fact check republican claims about rep. paul (r-wi) plan to overhaul medicare. cnn’s soledad pointed out to romney surrogate john sununu that the plan would turn medicare into a voucher system much like the budget proposal offered by his vice presidential pick, paul ryan. “it’s sounds awfully like the paul ryan medicare plan,” noted after reading details from website. “but very different,” sununu insisted. “for example when [president barack] obama gutted medicare by taking $717 billion out of it, the romney plan does not do that. the ryan plan mimicked part of the obama package, the romney plan does not. a big difference.” “i understand that this is a republican talking point because heard it repeated over and over again,” observed. “these numbers have been debunked, as you know, by the congressional budget office. i can tell you what it says. plan] cuts a reduction in the expect rate of growth, which you know, not cutting budgets to the elderly. benefits will be improved.” “soledad, stop this!” sununu shouted. “all doing is mimicking the stuff that comes out of the white house and gets repeated on the democratic blog boards out there.” “i’m telling you what tells you, telling you what the tells you, telling you what independent analysis says,” the cnn host explained. “put an obama bumper sticker on your forehead when you do this!” the frustrated surrogate shot back. “you know, let me tell you something,” said. “there is independent analysis that details what this is about. and name calling to me and somehow by you repeating a number of $716 billion, that you can make that stick when [you say] that figure is being ‘stolen’ from medicare, not true. you just repeat it and make it true, sir.” after romney on saturday announced that he had selected ryan as the vice presidential nominee, a campaign memo sought to distance the presidential plan from budget proposal, insisting that “as president he will be putting together his own plan.” but on monday, romney refused to say where his plan differed from vision of turning medicare into a voucher system. “my plan for medicare is very similar to his plan for medicare,” the former massachusetts governor told reporters in miami. “my plan, like his, really expands medicare advantage. it says, give people more opportunity to take advantage of not just the standard medicare, but also the [private insurance] policies that are available in the market place.” watch this video from starting point, broadcast aug. 14, 2012. read more: (h/t: mediaite)	ðə ˈʧɛrmən əv priˈzəmptɪv

abraham lincoln has joined george washington on the list of those targeted by chicagoans in a national debate over civil monuments. alderman raymond lopez took to facebook wednesday night to decry the defacing of a statue representing the president in the englewood neighborhood. the giant bust appears to have been damaged after someone in the ward sprayed and ignited a flammable liquid. “what an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. this bust of abraham lincoln, erected by phil bloomquist on august 31, 1926, was damaged & burned,” mr. lopez wrote, a local nbc affiliate reported. “if anyone has any information regarding this act, please contact the police or my office immediately.” “f- abe lincoln,” responded quintin mitchell, whose comment was “liked” or deemed “funny” by 160 others. the finding came just one day after president trump stated opposition to tearing down memorials related to past with slavery. “i wonder is it george washington next week and is it thomas jefferson the week after? you know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” mr. trump asked reporters on tuesday while addressing violence in virginia. see also: chicago pastor urges mayor to remove george washington statue, rename park over slavery heather heyer, 32, was killed at charlottesville protests over the removal of a statue of confederate gen. robert e. lee last weekend. police arrested suspect james alex fields, 20, after he accelerated his car into a crowd. bishop james e. dukes of liberation christian center responded to mr. comments by calling on mayor rahm emanuel to rename washington park and remove a statue of the first u.s. president over his ties to slavery. “it’s time,” mr. dukes wrote on his facebook page, the washington times reported. “please read my letter to mayor rahm emanuel and the chicago park district. calling on them to change the names of washington and jackson park. slave owners do not deserve the honor of our children playing in parks named after them. there is no way a native american community would allow a general custer park or a jewish community allow a gestapo park in their community.” copyright 2019 the washington times, llc. click here for reprint permission.	ˈeɪbrəˌhæm ˈlɪŋkən həz ʤɔɪnd ʤɔrʤ ˈwɔʃɪŋtən ɔn ðə lɪst əv ðoʊz ˈtɑrgətɪd baɪ ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊənz ɪn ə ˈnæʃənəl dəˈbeɪt ˈoʊvər ˈsɪvəl ˈmɑnjəmənts. ˈɔldərmən ˈreɪmənd ˈloʊpɛz tʊk tɪ ˈfeɪsˌbʊk ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ naɪt tɪ dɪˈkraɪ ðə dɪˈfeɪsɪŋ əv ə ˈstæˌʧu ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnɪŋ ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt ɪn ðə ˈɛŋgəlˌwʊd ˈneɪbərˌhʊd. ðə ʤaɪənt bəst əˈpɪrz tɪ hæv bɪn ˈdæmɪʤd ˈæftər ˈsəmˌwən ɪn ðə wɔrd spreɪd ənd ˌɪgˈnaɪtɪd ə ˈflæməbəl ˈlɪkwɪd. ən ˈæbsəˌlut dɪsˈgreɪsfəl ækt əv ˈvændəlɪzəm. ðɪs bəst əv ˈeɪbrəˌhæm ˈlɪŋkən, ɪˈrɛktɪd baɪ fɪl ˈblumkˌwɪst ɔn ˈɔgəst 31 1926 wɑz ˈdæmɪʤd burned,”,” ˈmɪstər. ˈloʊpɛz roʊt, ə ˈloʊkəl ˈɛnˌbiˈsi əˈfɪliˌeɪt ˌriˈpɔrtəd. ˈɛniˌwən həz ˈɛni ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən rɪˈgɑrdɪŋ ðɪs ækt, pliz ˈkɑnˌtækt ðə pəˈlis ər maɪ ˈɔfəs immediately.”.” ““f- eɪb lincoln,”,” rɪˈspɑndɪd kˈwɪntɪn ˈmɪʧəl, huz ˈkɑmɛnt wɑz ““liked”” ər dimd ““funny”” baɪ 160 ˈəðərz. ðə ˈfaɪndɪŋ keɪm ʤɪst wən deɪ ˈæftər ˈprɛzɪdənt trəmp ˈsteɪtɪd ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən tɪ ˈtɪrɪŋ daʊn məˈmɔriəlz rɪˈleɪtɪd tɪ pæst wɪθ sˈleɪvəri. ˈwəndər ɪz ɪt ʤɔrʤ ˈwɔʃɪŋtən nɛkst wik ənd ɪz ɪt ˈtɑməs ˈʤɛfərsən ðə wik ˈæftər? ju noʊ, ju ˈrɪli du hæv tɪ æsk ˈjɔrsɛlf, wɛr dɪz ɪt stop?”?” ˈmɪstər. trəmp æst rɪˈpɔrtərz ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ waɪl æˈdrɛsɪŋ ˈvaɪələns ɪn vərˈʤɪnjə. si ˈɔlsoʊ: ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ ˈpæstər ˈərʤɪz meɪər tɪ riˈmuv ʤɔrʤ ˈwɔʃɪŋtən ˈstæˌʧu, riˈneɪm pɑrk ˈoʊvər sˈleɪvəri ˈhɛðər heɪər, 32 wɑz kɪld æt ˈʃɑrlətsˌvɪl ˈproʊˌtɛsts ˈoʊvər ðə rɪˈmuvəl əv ə ˈstæˌʧu əv kənˈfɛdərˌeɪt ʤɛn. ˈrɑbərt i. li læst ˈwiˌkɪnd. pəˈlis ərˈɛstɪd ˈsəˌspɛkt ʤeɪmz ˈæləks fildz, 20 ˈæftər hi ækˈsɛlərˌeɪtɪd hɪz kɑr ˈɪntu ə kraʊd. ˈbɪʃəp ʤeɪmz i. duks əv ˌlɪˌbərˈeɪʃən ˈkrɪsʧɪn ˈsɛnər rɪˈspɑndɪd tɪ ˈmɪstər. ˈkɑmɛnts baɪ ˈkɔlɪŋ ɔn meɪər rɑm ɪˈmænjuəl tɪ riˈneɪm ˈwɔʃɪŋtən pɑrk ənd riˈmuv ə ˈstæˌʧu əv ðə fərst juz. ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈoʊvər hɪz taɪz tɪ sˈleɪvəri. time,”,” ˈmɪstər. duks roʊt ɔn hɪz ˈfeɪsˌbʊk peɪʤ, ðə ˈwɔʃɪŋtən taɪmz ˌriˈpɔrtəd. rɛd maɪ ˈlɛtər tɪ meɪər rɑm ɪˈmænjuəl ənd ðə ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ pɑrk ˈdɪstrɪkt. ˈkɔlɪŋ ɔn ðɛm tɪ ʧeɪnʤ ðə neɪmz əv ˈwɔʃɪŋtən ənd ˈʤæksən pɑrk. sleɪv ˈoʊnərz du nɑt dɪˈzərv ðə ˈɑnər əv ɑr ˈʧɪldrən pleɪɪŋ ɪn pɑrks neɪmd ˈæftər ðɛm. ðɛr ɪz noʊ weɪ ə ˈneɪtɪv əˈmɛrɪkən kəmˈjunɪti wʊd əˈlaʊ ə ˈʤɛnərəl ˈkəstər pɑrk ər ə ʤuɪʃ kəmˈjunɪti əˈlaʊ ə gəˈstɑpoʊ pɑrk ɪn ðɛr community.”.” ˈkɑpiˌraɪt 2019 ðə ˈwɔʃɪŋtən taɪmz, llc. klɪk hir fər riˈprɪnt pərˈmɪʃən.

(cn) over three weeks after virginians went to the polls, democrats are challenging the results in two districts where the vote margin was 106 votes or less. this development, plus a possible third recount or additional legal filings, could shift power of the 100 seat state house to democrats for the first time in 20 years. “in races with slim margins such as these, recounts ensure that every vote is counted and every voice is heard,” said state house democratic leader david toscano and caucus chair herring in a statement announcing the recount request. the already newsworthy election has seen its share of drama. at least one federal lawsuit has been filed over state house district 28 where democrat joshua cole blames a post office error for his loss, after a number of absentee ballots arrived the day after the election. cole, who lost by just 82 votes, is asking the judge to certify the votes, though the department of elections claims absentee votes must be received by 5 p.m. on election day in order to be valid. but district 28 has other problems as well. after certifying the votes on monday, election officials admitted at least 147 votes were counted in the wrong district or given the wrong ballots. a former registrar who has since passed away is said to have been the cause of the mistake. “this may not be the first time people got the wrong ballot, just the first time somebody noticed,” said professor stephen farnsworth, the director of university of mary center for leadership and media studies. he said this election is unique because the margins involved in these key state races are so slim 10 votes in district 94, 106 votes in district 40, and 82 votes in district 28 and because the outcome has the potential to tip the scales of power in the commonwealth. farnsworth thinks legal challenges could further bog down 2018 session and possibly force legislators to start without 100 confirmed members or control of the house solidified. “it seems likely that this will find its end in the courts,” he said noting the district complaint could soon be among others filed by candidates as recounts proceed in the coming weeks. “if a court rules that the winner of the election be seated until the litigation is concluded be looking at a house of delegates.” that has understandably made the stakes high for both parties. if recounts fail to satisfy either candidate, additional legal options could be pursued. one is to go to court, as cole has done. among the possible outcomes in that case is that the presiding judge could order a special election be held. the state constitution also provides another route to resolving lingering electoral controversies. the general assembly may select the winner of a contested election by following a procedure similar to passing a bill. the losing candidate files a petition with the committee on privileges and election which then hears the case and reports its findings to the house at large. the house then holds a vote and the majority selects the winning candidate. democratic party of virginia communications manager katie baker had warned about recounts and says her party is quite fired up about the 147 mixed up votes, less than half the losing margin for cole. “it’s the equivalent of putting those ballots in a box and burning them,” she said. still, virginia republicans are confident the vote certification has given them the majority they need. “dragging this process out has only prolonged the important work that remains to be done by both sides in preparation for the 2018 general assembly session,” said republican house kirk cox in a statement sent out following election certification. “we stand ready to govern.” state democrats have 10 days to file for a recount for certification of district 28. they are still weighing their options. representatives of the republican party virginia did not respond to requests for comment for this article. like this: like loading...	ˈrɪʧmənd, va.

the broadcasting authority of ireland have decided that comedian jason byrne was not referring to the traveller community when he used the word ‘knackers’ on the late late show. the decision is one of five different complaints made against rté that were rejected in the latest round of decisions. the incident in question occurred in a december episode of the show when byrne was asked by presenter ryan about his appearance at the royal variety performance in the uk. byrne responded: yeah, the hardest gig ever do because when they say “my lords, ladies and gentlemen please welcome,” they mean it. like you know the way this [referring to the late late audience] is full of and tramps here. i mean a audience. tickets and free stuff, deadly, give me more free stuff. you get it at the royal variety show. a complaint was subsequently made to the alleging that comment was “a clear reference to the traveller community”. the complainant, a member of the community himself, added that did not point out that comments were unacceptable, something which he said “created a culture of acceptability”. but rté denied that byrne was referring to the traveller community arguing that, while the choice of the term was “regrettable” and is often used in a pejorative way towards the community, it has come to have a wider meaning in society: it is also true however that the word has another, distinct and much more general meaning in everyday irish speech which is not directed toward or signifying travellers, as common irish slang for people who are uncouth, gougers, ne’er-do-wells. rté’s response to the complaint also adds that comments were “jocular” in nature and part of his verbal delivery which is “fast and informal and often colloquial”. the agreed, saying that ‘knacker’ is identified by them as a word which has the potential to cause towards travellers but that it also has a wide meaning which was intended in this case. the committee found that the comment was on this occasion directed at the audience rather than at the traveller community, rejecting the complaint as a result. israel the one complaint that was upheld by the was one made on behalf of the ireland palestine solidarity campaign about an edition rebel radio on cork city community radio. the programme featured a representative from the organisation and the decided that his contributions were not adequately examined or questioned by the presenter in the absence of an alternative voice. read the decisions in full here >	ðə ˈbrɔdˌkæstɪŋ əˈθɔrəti əv ˈaɪərlənd hæv ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ðət kəˈmidiən ˈʤeɪsən bərn wɑz nɑt rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈtrævələr kəmˈjunɪti wɪn hi juzd ðə wərd ‘‘knackers’’ ɔn ðə leɪt leɪt ʃoʊ. ðə dɪˈsɪʒən ɪz wən əv faɪv ˈdɪfərənt kəmˈpleɪnts meɪd əˈgɛnst rtéé ðət wər rɪˈʤɛktɪd ɪn ðə ˈleɪtəst raʊnd əv dɪˈsɪʒənz. ðə ˈɪnsədənt ɪn kˈwɛʃən əˈkərd ɪn ə dɪˈsɛmbər ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd əv ðə ʃoʊ wɪn bərn wɑz æst baɪ ˈprɛzəntər raɪən əˈbaʊt hɪz əˈpɪrəns æt ðə rɔɪəl vərˈaɪəti pərˈfɔrməns ɪn ðə uk. bərn rɪˈspɑndɪd: jæ, ðə ˈhɑrdəst gɪg ˈɛvər du bɪˈkəz wɪn ðeɪ seɪ lɔrdz, ˈleɪdiz ənd ˈʤɛnəlmɪn pliz welcome,”,” ðeɪ min ɪt. laɪk ju noʊ ðə weɪ ðɪs [rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə leɪt leɪt ˈɔdiəns] ɪz fʊl əv ənd træmpz hir. aɪ min ə ˈɔdiəns. ˈtɪkɪts ənd fri stəf, ˈdɛdli, gɪv mi mɔr fri stəf. ju gɪt ɪt æt ðə rɔɪəl vərˈaɪəti ʃoʊ. ə kəmˈpleɪnt wɑz ˈsəbsəkwəntli meɪd tɪ ðə əˈlɛʤɪŋ ðət ˈkɑmɛnt wɑz klɪr ˈrɛfərəns tɪ ðə ˈtrævələr community””. ðə kəmˈpleɪnənt, ə ˈmɛmbər əv ðə kəmˈjunɪti hɪmˈsɛlf, ˈædɪd ðət dɪd nɑt pɔɪnt aʊt ðət ˈkɑmɛnts wər ˌənækˈsɛptəbəl, ˈsəmθɪŋ wɪʧ hi sɛd ə ˈkəlʧər əv acceptability””. bət rtéé dɪˈnaɪd ðət bərn wɑz rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈtrævələr kəmˈjunɪti ˈɑrgjuɪŋ ðət, waɪl ðə ʧɔɪs əv ðə tərm wɑz ““regrettable”” ənd ɪz ˈɔfən juzd ɪn ə pəˈʤɔrətɪv weɪ təˈwɔrdz ðə kəmˈjunɪti, ɪt həz kəm tɪ hæv ə ˈwaɪdər ˈminɪŋ ɪn soʊˈsaɪɪti: ɪt ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ tru ˌhaʊˈɛvər ðət ðə wərd həz əˈnəðər, dɪˈstɪŋkt ənd məʧ mɔr ˈʤɛnərəl ˈminɪŋ ɪn ˈɛvriˈdeɪ ˈaɪrɪʃ spiʧ wɪʧ ɪz nɑt dɪˈrɛktɪd təˈwɔrd ər ˈsɪgnəˌfaɪɪŋ ˈtrævələrz, ɛz ˈkɑmən ˈaɪrɪʃ slæŋ fər ˈpipəl hu ər ˈənˈkuθ, gougers, ne’er-do-wells. rɪˈspɑns tɪ ðə kəmˈpleɪnt ˈɔlsoʊ ædz ðət ˈkɑmɛnts wər ““jocular”” ɪn ˈneɪʧər ənd pɑrt əv hɪz ˈvərbəl dɪˈlɪvəri wɪʧ ɪz ənd ˌɪnˈfɔrməl ənd ˈɔfən colloquial””. ðə əˈgrid, seɪɪŋ ðət ‘‘knacker’*’ ɪz aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd baɪ ðɛm ɛz ə wərd wɪʧ həz ðə pəˈtɛnʃəl tɪ kɔz təˈwɔrdz ˈtrævələrz bət ðət ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ həz ə waɪd ˈminɪŋ wɪʧ wɑz ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd ɪn ðɪs keɪs. ðə kəˈmɪti faʊnd ðət ðə ˈkɑmɛnt wɑz ɔn ðɪs əˈkeɪʒən dɪˈrɛktɪd æt ðə ˈɔdiəns ˈrəðər ðən æt ðə ˈtrævələr kəmˈjunɪti, rɪˈʤɛktɪŋ ðə kəmˈpleɪnt ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt. ˈɪzriəl ðə wən kəmˈpleɪnt ðət wɑz əˈphɛld baɪ ðə wɑz wən meɪd ɔn bɪˈhæf əv ðə ˈaɪərlənd ˈpæləˌstaɪn ˌsɑləˈdɛrəti kæmˈpeɪn əˈbaʊt ən ɪˈdɪʃən ˈrɛbəl ˈreɪdiˌoʊ ɔn kɔrk ˈsɪti kəmˈjunɪti ˈreɪdiˌoʊ. ðə ˈproʊˌgræm ˈfiʧərd ə ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪv frəm ðə ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃən ənd ðə ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ðət hɪz ˌkɑntrəˈbjuʃənz wər nɑt ˈædəkwɪtli ɪgˈzæmənd ər kˈwɛsʧənd baɪ ðə ˈprɛzəntər ɪn ðə ˈæbsəns əv ən ɔlˈtərnətɪv vɔɪs. rɛd ðə dɪˈsɪʒənz ɪn fʊl hir
(update below) a former swedish prosecutor has written an for the newspaper svenska dagbladet, where he suggests the office in charge of pursuing the case against julian terminate it entirely. rolf urges the prosecutor general to reverse the decision to reopen the investigation, revoke the detention order and withdraw the arrest warrant. for three years, sweden has been trying to have him extradited so he can be questioned on sexual allegations made by two women. he sought and obtained asylum from ecuador and has been living in the ecuadorean embassy in the united kingdom since june 2012. hillegren’s is in swedish, but he does not think sweden needs to extradite to question him. the evidence for the case leaked, and it is unlikely that an interview will yield anything that would make it possible to prosecute him. “is it reasonable that someone in an embassy in london has no way for the next 27 years to leave the building, whilst the swedes could remedy the situation without significant disadvantage to anyone?” asks. he summarizes: “julian visited sweden in 2010 as a celebrated hero. but the visit had repercussions he counted on. two women spent time with were worried contracted and therefore went to the police, the one to support the other. the police decided to open a criminal complaint, so was arraigned, arrested, and interrogated. the prosecutor closed the investigation as far as the more serious allegation; what was left was an accusation of molestation, even that one very questionable. stayed in the country a while after the warrant was rescinded. so no, he did not try to evade ‘swedish justice.'” hillegren adds, “the situation between and the women mostly involves disagreements about the use of condoms a type of litigation that is not usually decided in our courts.” he does not fail to recognize that the women, who have made allegations against, have suffered. yet, for them, suggests that sweden do what it should have done a long time ago and take responsibility with an unconventional solution.” pay the damages that would have been awarded if had been “convicted of crimes” for which he was detained. this will avoid a end scenario where the women are “sidelined by the judiciary.” “this solution is appealing, not least in view of the responsibility for the situation and the fact that women suffered a well publicized injury,” according to. the case was closed in 2010 and then reopened. asserts that this decision to close the case was reasonable. the is significant, obviously, because of the background of the author. has some authority to express an opinion that sweden should have terminated the case long ago. but will this have any effect on swedish authorities? what would it mean for if the case were terminated by swedish authorities? one would think that after all the time he has spent in the ecuadorean embassy, he would want to take advantage of asylum and go to ecuador. even if the swedish case was terminated, it is unlikely that would believe he had the freedom to move without being targeted by the united states. his lawyers are still advising him that the us may indict him on charges. translation of’s here. update rolf made comments about rape in 2009 that led him to be condemned. commenting on new guidelines for rape cases, he said, “when one says rape one thinks mostly of really nasty rapes. but take a man and a woman who know each other and the woman says she feel like it today, but the man just goes ahead anyway. sure, it is not very nice, but maybe not worth two years in prison. it is more like a regulatory offense.” peter sunde, who is one of the founders of the pirate bay, reported him to the ombudsman of justice. photo by acidpolly, used under creative commons license	(ˈəpˌdeɪt bɪˈloʊ) ə ˈfɔrmər sˈwidɪʃ ˈprɑsɪˌkjutər həz ˈrɪtən ən fər ðə ˈnuzˌpeɪpər sˈvɛnskə dagbladet, wɛr hi səˈʤɛsts ðə ˈɔfəs ɪn ʧɑrʤ əv pərˈsuɪŋ ðə keɪs əˈgɛnst ˈʤuljən ˈtərməˌneɪt ɪt ɪnˈtaɪərli. roʊlf ˈərʤɪz ðə ˈprɑsɪˌkjutər ˈʤɛnərəl tɪ rɪˈvərs ðə dɪˈsɪʒən tɪ riˈoʊpən ðə ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən, rɪˈvoʊk ðə dɪˈtɛnʃən ˈɔrdər ənd wɪθˈdrɔ ðə ərˈɛst ˈwɔrənt. fər θri jɪrz, sˈwidən həz bɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ hæv ɪm ˈɛkstrəˌdaɪtɪd soʊ hi kən bi kˈwɛsʧənd ɔn ˈsɛkʃuəl ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz meɪd baɪ tu ˈwɪmən. hi sɔt ənd əbˈteɪnd əˈsaɪləm frəm ˈɛkwəˌdɔr ənd həz bɪn ˈlɪvɪŋ ɪn ðə ˌɛkwəˈdɔriən ˈɛmbəsi ɪn ðə juˈnaɪtɪd ˈkɪŋdəm sɪns ʤun 2012 ɪz ɪn sˈwidɪʃ, bət hi dɪz nɑt θɪŋk sˈwidən nidz tɪ ˈɛkstrəˌdaɪt tɪ kˈwɛʃən ɪm. ðə ˈɛvədəns fər ðə keɪs likt, ənd ɪt ɪz ənˈlaɪkli ðət ən ˈɪntərvˌju wɪl jild ˈɛniˌθɪŋ ðət wʊd meɪk ɪt ˈpɑsəbəl tɪ ˈprɑsəˌkjut ɪm. ɪt ˈrizənəbəl ðət ˈsəmˌwən ɪn ən ˈɛmbəsi ɪn ˈləndən həz noʊ weɪ fər ðə nɛkst 27 jɪrz tɪ liv ðə ˈbɪldɪŋ, waɪlst ðə swidz kʊd ˈrɛmədi ðə ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən wɪˈθaʊt sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt ˌdɪsədˈvænɪʤ tɪ anyone?”?” æsks. hi ˈsəmərˌaɪzɪz: ˈvɪzɪtɪd sˈwidən ɪn 2010 ɛz ə ˈsɛləˌbreɪtɪd ˈhɪroʊ. bət ðə ˈvɪzɪt hæd ˌripərˈkəʃənz hi ˈkaʊntɪd ɔn. tu ˈwɪmən spɛnt taɪm wɪθ wər ˈwərid ˈkɑntræktəd ənd ˈðɛrˌfɔr wɛnt tɪ ðə pəˈlis, ðə wən tɪ səˈpɔrt ðə ˈəðər. ðə pəˈlis ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ ˈoʊpən ə ˈkrɪmənəl kəmˈpleɪnt, soʊ wɑz əreɪnd, ərˈɛstɪd, ənd ˌɪnˈtɛrəˌgeɪtɪd. ðə ˈprɑsɪˌkjutər kloʊzd ðə ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən ɛz fɑr ɛz ðə mɔr ˈsɪriəs ˌæləˈgeɪʃən; wət wɑz lɛft wɑz ən ˌækjəˈzeɪʃən əv ˌmoʊlɛˈsteɪʃən, ˈivɪn ðət wən ˈvɛri kˈwɛsʧənəbəl. steɪd ɪn ðə ˈkəntri ə waɪl ˈæftər ðə ˈwɔrənt wɑz rɪˈsɪndɪd. soʊ noʊ, hi dɪd nɑt traɪ tɪ ɪˈveɪd justice.'”.'” ædz, ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən bɪtˈwin ənd ðə ˈwɪmən ˈmoʊstli ˌɪnˈvɑlvz ˌdɪsəˈgrimənts əˈbaʊt ðə juz əv ˈkɑndəmz ə taɪp əv ˌlɪtəˈgeɪʃən ðət ɪz nɑt ˈjuʒəwəli ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ɪn ɑr courts.”.” hi dɪz nɑt feɪl tɪ ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪz ðət ðə ˈwɪmən, hu hæv meɪd ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz əˈgɛnst, hæv ˈsəfərd. jɛt, fər ðɛm, səˈʤɛsts ðət sˈwidən du wət ɪt ʃʊd hæv dən ə lɔŋ taɪm əˈgoʊ ənd teɪk riˌspɑnsəˈbɪləti wɪθ ən ˌənkənˈvɛnʃənəl solution.”.” peɪ ðə ˈdæmɪʤɪz ðət wʊd hæv bɪn əˈwɔrdɪd ɪf hæd bɪn əv crimes”” fər wɪʧ hi wɑz dɪˈteɪnd. ðɪs wɪl əˈvɔɪd ə ɛnd sɪˈnɛrioʊ wɛr ðə ˈwɪmən ər baɪ ðə judiciary.”.” səˈluʃən ɪz əˈpilɪŋ, nɑt list ɪn vju əv ðə riˌspɑnsəˈbɪləti fər ðə ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən ənd ðə fækt ðət ˈwɪmən ˈsəfərd ə wɛl ˈpəblɪˌsaɪzd injury,”,” əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ. ðə keɪs wɑz kloʊzd ɪn 2010 ənd ðɛn riˈoʊpənd. əˈsərts ðət ðɪs dɪˈsɪʒən tɪ kloʊz ðə keɪs wɑz ˈrizənəbəl. ðə ɪz sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt, ˈɑbviəsli, bɪˈkəz əv ðə ˈbækˌgraʊnd əv ðə ˈɔθər. həz səm əˈθɔrəti tɪ ɪkˈsprɛs ən əˈpɪnjən ðət sˈwidən ʃʊd hæv ˈtərməˌneɪtɪd ðə keɪs lɔŋ əˈgoʊ. bət wɪl ðɪs hæv ˈɛni ˈifɛkt ɔn sˈwidɪʃ əˈθɔrətiz?

australia's paid parental leave ranked world's worst updated australia and the united states have tied as the worst of 21 nations in terms of generous paid parental leave. researchers at the centre for economic and policy research examined the parental leave policies of 21 countries with their study published in the social science journal of european social policy. they found sweden ranked highest for gender equality in parental leave practices, while germany and sweden were the most generous with paid parental leave, both offering 47 weeks. last month australia passed its first paid parental leave legislation that ensured 18 weeks paid leave at the minimum wage for mothers starting next year. us researcher janet gornick says the us and australia rank as having the least generous parental leave policies. "we pay a high price for policy, because parental leave improves the health and well-being of children and their parents and paid leaves provide families with crucial economic support at such an important time," she said. the study looked at parental leave policies according to three criteria: total time guaranteed for parental leave, whether leave is paid or unpaid, total paid leave and gender equality of the parental leave such as leave and pay available to fathers. ms gornick says while all 21 countries protected at least one parent's job for a period, there were great differences across these countries on each of the three criteria. france and spain came highest in terms of total guaranteed leave, each giving over 300 weeks, while australia and the united states ranked at the bottom with 18 and 14 weeks respectively. australia and switzerland ranked near the bottom in terms of both generosity and gender equality of parental leave. - reuters topics: parenting, community-and-society, family-and-children, babies---newborns, children, family, work, australia first posted	ɔˈstreɪljəz peɪd pərˈɛntəl liv ræŋkt wərldz wərst ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd ɔˈstreɪljə ənd ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts hæv taɪd ɛz ðə wərst əv 21 ˈneɪʃənz ɪn tərmz əv ˈʤɛnərəs peɪd pərˈɛntəl liv. ˈrisərʧərz æt ðə ˈsɛntər fər ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ənd ˈpɑləsi ˈrisərʧ ɪgˈzæmənd ðə pərˈɛntəl liv ˈpɑləsiz əv 21 ˈkəntriz wɪθ ðɛr ˈstədi ˈpəblɪʃt ɪn ðə ˈsoʊʃəl saɪəns ˈʤərnəl əv ˌjʊrəˈpiən ˈsoʊʃəl ˈpɑləsi. ðeɪ faʊnd sˈwidən ræŋkt haɪəst fər ˈʤɛndər ɪkˈwɑləti ɪn pərˈɛntəl liv ˈpræktɪsɪz, waɪl ˈʤərməni ənd sˈwidən wər ðə moʊst ˈʤɛnərəs wɪθ peɪd pərˈɛntəl liv, boʊθ ˈɔfərɪŋ 47 wiks. læst mənθ ɔˈstreɪljə pæst ɪts fərst peɪd pərˈɛntəl liv ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən ðət ɪnˈʃʊrd 18 wiks peɪd liv æt ðə ˈmɪnəməm weɪʤ fər ˈməðərz ˈstɑrtɪŋ nɛkst jɪr. ˈjuˈɛs ˈrisərʧər ˈʤænɪt ˈgɔrnɪk sɪz ðə ˈjuˈɛs ənd ɔˈstreɪljə ræŋk ɛz ˈhævɪŋ ðə list ˈʤɛnərəs pərˈɛntəl liv ˈpɑləsiz.

9. the first movie - garden scene 1888 saw the creation of the first strip of celluloid ever shot that survives today: a two second shot of a man walking across a yard while some ladies mill about known as the garden scene. even beyond the importance of the strip in cinematic history terms, an interesting story regarding the aftermath of shooting this little film, as it was said to have left a cursed legacy that did for its major players. first, the director louis le prince disappeared from a train a few years later (one of the suspects in that case was le prince's rival thomas edison, who will be featured repeatedly in this list later on,) before, in 1902, the man walking across the shot was shot dead for reasons unrelated to the film, and le mother-in-law - who also made an appearance in the film - died only ten days after the filming was completed. if any truth to this curse, it means that the first bit of film ever shot is much than the first horror movie.	9 ðə fərst ˈmuvi ˈgɑrdən sin 1888 sɔ ðə kriˈeɪʃən əv ðə fərst strɪp əv ˈsɛləˌlɔɪd ˈɛvər ʃɑt ðət sərˈvaɪvz təˈdeɪ: ə tu ˈsɛkənd ʃɑt əv ə mæn ˈwɔkɪŋ əˈkrɔs ə jɑrd waɪl səm ˈleɪdiz mɪl əˈbaʊt noʊn ɛz ðə ˈgɑrdən sin. ˈivɪn bɪɔnd ðə ˌɪmˈpɔrtəns əv ðə strɪp ɪn ˌsɪnəˈmætɪk ˈhɪstəri tərmz, ən ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ ˈstɔri rɪˈgɑrdɪŋ ðə ˈæftərˌmæθ əv ˈʃutɪŋ ðɪs ˈlɪtəl fɪlm, ɛz ɪt wɑz sɛd tɪ hæv lɛft ə kərst ˈlɛgəsi ðət dɪd fər ɪts ˈmeɪʤər pleɪərz. fərst, ðə dɪˈrɛktər luɪs lə prɪns ˌdɪsəˈpɪrd frəm ə treɪn ə fju jɪrz ˈleɪtər (wən əv ðə ˈsəˌspɛkts ɪn ðət keɪs wɑz lə ˈprɪnsɪz ˈraɪvəl ˈtɑməs ˈɛdɪsən, hu wɪl bi ˈfiʧərd rɪˈpitɪdli ɪn ðɪs lɪst ˈleɪtər ɔn,) ˌbiˈfɔr, ɪn 1902 ðə mæn ˈwɔkɪŋ əˈkrɔs ðə ʃɑt wɑz ʃɑt dɛd fər ˈrizənz ˌənrɪˈleɪtɪd tɪ ðə fɪlm, ənd lə ˈməðərɪnˌlɔ hu ˈɔlsoʊ meɪd ən əˈpɪrəns ɪn ðə fɪlm daɪd ˈoʊnli tɛn deɪz ˈæftər ðə ˈfɪlmɪŋ wɑz kəmˈplitɪd. ɪf ˈɛni truθ tɪ ðɪs kərs, ɪt minz ðət ðə fərst bɪt əv fɪlm ˈɛvər ʃɑt ɪz məʧ ðən ðə fərst ˈhɔrər ˈmuvi.
there is a particular honda on ebay that been watching here at jnc, and it is this 1983 honda accord hatchback. while it is a beautiful car, and possibly the most flawless example in existence, what caught our eye was the current bid of $20,000 with nearly a week left on the auction. we would venture to say that this is the record for most money ever paid for a 1983 accord, especially since the original for an hatchback such as this one was $8,549. but is it worth it? according to the 36 bidders, the answer is yes. if there was ever a accord that could have a $20,000 case made for it, this would be the one. according to the seller, it “may be the nicest 1983 honda accord left in the world that is still in private hands and not in a museum.” the car is nearly flawless so there may be credence to this claim and, as it happens, the nicest one was the first to roll out of ohio factory, because that one is, in fact, in a museum. the listing states that the car has been in storage since 1988 and all maintenance has been kept up to date during that time. looking at the interior, the plush seats show no signs of aging what so ever and only the most minor differences in coloring on the plastics can be seen. the only modification appears to be a pair of dealer installed voltage and oil pressure gauges when the original buyer checked every box. the trunk area looks untouched and the parcel shelf is in flawless condition. the plastic covers over the wheel wells have any scratches, discoloration or glaze over them, a common condition with interior plastics that have seen any sort of use. the seat back handle did age to a curious shade of purple, but if getting to that point while an economy hatchback a year shy from being able to run for president, doing pretty good. looking under the carpet in the trunk we find a perfect spare tire well seen no sign of wear. even the jack has its yellow zinc finish untarnished. according to the seller, the original owner opted for the “tuff kote” rustproofing and was able to avoid any oxidation problems. trying to find any rust on this car was a difficult task, but with a keen eye you can spot some surface on the air conditioning line and power steering pump pulley. overall, this is still a prime engine bay with its engine showing no signs of leaking or wear. another thing that is unique to the first two generations of accord was the forward opening hood. as we mentioned before, the original buyer ticked every box on this car and even got the optional louvers, which compliment the rear end well. with the air conditioning and power steering, this particular compact is better equipped than some standard cars of the era. the second generation honda accord seems like the forgotten accord these days but this was still one of the most important hondas in history. the sedan was the first japanese car built in america, early models had the optional electro (the first production navigation system), and the later models would be the first accords. i would even go as far as to say that this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing accord generations, especially with the staggered quad sealed beam headlights. though this particular example will most likely end up with a collector, it is effectively optioned out as a “driver’s” accord, equipped with the carbureted engine, a manual transmission, and every option available except the automatic. a combination of these features makes this car worthy of its record breaking $20,000 auction price. if you are looking for the best accord on the market today, look no further and throw your hat in the ring on the ebay listing here .	ðɛr ɪz ə ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr ˈhɔndə ɔn ˈiˌbeɪ ðət bɪn ˈwɑʧɪŋ hir æt jnc, ənd ɪt ɪz ðɪs 1983 ˈhɔndə əˈkɔrd ˈhæʧˌbæk. waɪl ɪt ɪz ə ˈbjutəfəl kɑr, ənd ˈpɑsəbli ðə moʊst ˈflɔləs ɪgˈzæmpəl ɪn ɪgˈzɪstəns, wət kɔt ɑr aɪ wɑz ðə ˈkɑrənt bɪd əv wɪθ ˈnɪrli ə wik lɛft ɔn ðə ˈɔkʃən. wi wʊd ˈvɛnʧər tɪ seɪ ðət ðɪs ɪz ðə ˈrɛkərd fər moʊst ˈməni ˈɛvər peɪd fər ə 1983 əˈkɔrd, əˈspɛʃəli sɪns ðə ərˈɪʤənəl fər ən ˈhæʧˌbæk səʧ ɛz ðɪs wən wɑz bət ɪz ɪt wərθ ɪt?

j.k. the silkworm, penned under her pseudonym robert galbraith, hits shelves today. for weeks, amazon and hachette publisher) have been deadlocked in negotiating the percentages of revenue from sales that go to each company; as a result, amazon delayed shipping for hachette books and allow for some hachette titles. with the silkworm, however, bowing to some pressure: after not selling the for the silkworm when the book was first released, amazon has received a barrage of negative comments on its site, and has now added the option to buy the. amazon also initially announced shipping times of months, but has since reverted to normal shipping times. the new york times and publishers weekly both report that some chain and independent booksellers anticipate increased demand from customers unable to buy the book on amazon. salman rushdie won the pen pinter prize, given annually to a writer who casts an “unflinching, unswerving” gaze on the world and shows a “fierce intellectual determination to define the real truth of our lives and societies.” the prize, established in 2009 in memory of british playwright harold pinter, has previously been awarded to kureishi, carol ann duffy, and tom stoppard. “it’s very moving to receive an award named after my friend harold pinter,” rushdie said, “whose literary genius was matched by his passion for social justice.” [the guardian] carmen balcells, the legendary literary agent who represented gabriel, mario vargas llosa, and many other celebrated authors, is 83. but she slowing down. she announced a new venture with new york literary agent andrew wylie, where share the writers they represent. the details are still unclear, but this is a huge shift for balcells, who is in many ways responsible for the boom of latin american literature that started with in the 1960s.

if this represent a wake-up call for michael del, 24 and unemployed, then nothing will. for this del being sent to the ahl midway through his second (and pro) season by the rangers and john tortorella, or del being scratched nine times by alain vigneault, or del being kept out of the lineup in nashville by barry, or even david passing on the predators’ $2.9 million qualifier. this is, rather, del still searching for someone willing to buy low on him during an early summer in which the market for serviceable and otherwise has resembled the dow jones and even people like and nikita were treated as stocks. remember last summer when it appeared del, chris kreider and mats would be the biggest beneficiaries of the rangers’ coaching change from tortorella to vigneault? well, two out of three bad. del, given all sorts of freedom on the ice, take advantage of the clean slate; never was able to play to his perceived offensive strengths; never quite clicked with upbeat, assistant coach ulf any more than he had previously with the dour and sour mike sullivan. my goodness, by december del had somehow fallen behind justin (hell no, i go to hartford… for conditioning!) falk on the depth chart. a new start with vigneault ended with a trade for kevin klein. a fresh start in nashville under ended without an invite to return for newly hired peter laviolette. at some point, it is not on the coaches. some point is at this point. other than martin brodeur, who is a unique case, del is the most intriguing free agent remaining on the market. he simply is too young with too much ability to already have landed in the overstock bin. but where he is after a spell in which every team with needs on the back end which, by definition, pretty much means every team in the has done their homework on due diligence on del and has passed, and many even before checking the sticker price. this mean time has passed del by, or his best days when, in october 2009, he was, as a 19-year-old, rookie of the month? are in the past. it means, though, the burden of proof is on the player. it means del or sell himself for a premium. for right now, five years down a road filled with speed bumps and now a dead end, del is perceived as difficult to coach. this is surely a primary reason why del remains without a job in a league of third, fourth and fifth chances and not only when he is defending in his own end. but seriously, folks. this be about the dotted line for del not now. for the bottom line is that at the age of 24, del is a reclamation project. it is impossible to believe there needy teams out there that take a flier on him, but at their price, not his; their terms, not his. this is a summer in which del should spend his time surrounded by, and looking at, mirrors. the alarm has sounded. it is largely pro-forma, and it is actually good news for the rangers that their three salary restricted free agents,, kreider and derick brassard, all filed by deadline. the objective on both sides of the aisle is to reach a long-term agreement for all three players brassard and could become eligible for unrestricted free agency next summer absent deals but filing means all three will be under contract for the start of training camp. nikolay is the last ranger to go through a salary arbitration case. when the winger was awarded $3.9 million in the summer of 2009, the ran not walked away. john moore is the lone group without arbitration rights. the cap squeeze means the will be playing on a bridge deal for not all that much more than his $850,500 qualifier. say, two years at $1.1 million per? brodeur, meanwhile, might be the victim of both the cap and of his own formidable shadow he would cast on a no. 1, even as the most willing and conscientious of backups. but what about columbus, where sergei surely has established himself as an unassailable no. 1 over the past two seasons, and where curtis mcelhinney is the backup for a young, growing team with championship aspirations in a conference with a window? and though the dynamics in pittsburgh are difficult to read, it is impossible to believe the penguins be better served with brodeur rather than thomas as the alternative to fleury. bizarre. torey krug is a restricted free agent in limbo (also known as “boston”), eligible for neither salary arbitration nor a group offer sheet. so josh gorges, who had toronto on his list, rejected a trade to toronto, and the bad guy and subject to ridicule? nonsense. i know what you like me, and everyone else were thinking when the sharks lost four straight to the kings after taking a lead in the first round of the playoffs: this have happened if john scott had been in the san jose lineup.	ɪf ðɪs ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnt ə ˈweɪˌkəp kɔl fər ˈmaɪkəl dɛl, 24 ənd ˌənɛmˈplɔɪd, ðɛn ˈnəθɪŋ wɪl. fər ðɪs dɛl biɪŋ sɛnt tɪ ðə ɑl ˈmɪdˌweɪ θru hɪz ˈsɛkənd (ənd proʊ) ˈsizən baɪ ðə ˈreɪnʤərz ənd ʤɑn tɔrtɔˈrɛlə, ər dɛl biɪŋ skræʧt naɪn taɪmz baɪ əˈleɪn vɪgˈnoʊ, ər dɛl biɪŋ kɛpt aʊt əv ðə ˈlaɪˌnəp ɪn ˈnæʃvɪl baɪ ˈbɛri, ər ˈivɪn ˈdeɪvɪd ˈpæsɪŋ ɔn ðə predators’’ ˈmɪljən kˈwɑləˌfaɪər. ðɪs ɪz, ˈrəðər, dɛl stɪl ˈsərʧɪŋ fər ˈsəmˌwən ˈwɪlɪŋ tɪ baɪ loʊ ɔn ɪm ˈdʊrɪŋ ən ˈərli ˈsəmər ɪn wɪʧ ðə ˈmɑrkɪt fər ˈsərvəsəbəl ənd ˈəðərˌwaɪz həz rɪˈzɛmbəld ðə daʊ ʤoʊnz ənd ˈivɪn ˈpipəl laɪk ənd ˌnɪˈkitə wər ˈtritɪd ɛz stɑks. rɪˈmɛmbər læst ˈsəmər wɪn ɪt əˈpɪrd dɛl, krɪs ˈkraɪdər ənd mæts wʊd bi ðə ˈbɪgəst ˌbɛnəˈfɪʃiˌɛriz əv ðə rangers’’ ˈkoʊʧɪŋ ʧeɪnʤ frəm tɔrtɔˈrɛlə tɪ vɪgˈnoʊ?

it's a tie: both groups largely despise pure science and modern physics a month ago, i mentioned that an interview with edward witten had occurred at a very strange place, namely john blog hosted by scientific american. john "end of science" horgan is a loon and one does expect a completely different kind of people to be interviewed over there. and do you know who was the next interviewee who was interrogated on the same blog? what was your favorite moment from filming? i enjoyed working with one of the marc morano who was a very interesting character. very smart guy on some levels and very honest guy was telling me what he was thinking and i was thinking it was fascinating to have that experience and to be with him. chris colose: any disruption from watts et al.? michael e. mann: nothing. the man didn't say a word, didn't ask a question. there were no questions at all from the climate change contingent that supposedly had come out in force conspiracy theories already abounding that the questions from the crowd were "plants". hat anyone? yes, it's naomi, a hardcore ideologue who would previously write a notorious article arguing that papers disagreeing with important tenets of the climate hysteria didn't even exist. to make you even more frustrated, the interview with this evil stupid lady has attracted many more comments than the interview with edward witten, the world's most cited not just a hardcore marxist who has some deluded beliefs. she is a truly evil lady, indeed. when she was visiting harvard before a department at that school outrageously hired her she learned that there was a climate skeptic in the physics department. so she wrote a mail to me with copies sent to all my superiors at harvard and her alarmist friends who had some potential to harm me personally. the letter claimed that i despised the best scientists (meaning the alarmist whackos) from the last 50 years and something should be done about people obviously agree that she is a despicable bitch who wants to harm inconvenient scholars in ways that don't differ in any way from hitler's and stalin's eras. and of course, pretty much everyone in the physics department would agree with me that she was this kind of a šitty monster, to put it really diplomatically. but i also knew that harvard was filled with individuals not dissimilar to herself who were powerful enough to really spoil other people's years ago, meritocracy had died at harvard's history department that hired this evil marxist as faculty. incidentally, would write the book "merchants of doubts" that would demonize the climate skeptics as the following words are my summary, not a direct quote the zombies who dare to oppose marxism. what a sin. a film director is completing a film based on "merchants of doubts" and i was at least happy to learn what was the film director's favorite moment during filming the director enjoyed working with marc morano, a climate skeptic who is behind the website. believe me, i am not surprised that it's the "denier" rather than e.g. ms who appeared in that is supported by various people and they have different motivations to do so. the participants of the recent "people's climate march" in manhattan were mostly members of the communist party of the usa and similar extreme groups. advocates of a big government and the state that regulates everything and everyone obviously love the ideology about a "climate threat" because it is a way to promote political goals they have been struggling for since 1867 (the publication of das of all flavors not just the extreme ones liked to embrace this ideology because they were promoted to "saviors of the earth" who are allowed to tax and harass everyone without questions and who only need to parrot the alarmist slogans to get reelected. many journalists loved to scare the people with horror stories about the looming climate catastrophes. one doesn't need any intelligence or new data to write such stories and they may be pumped repeatedly and the newspapers may be sold repeatedly because the number of readers who just love to scare themselves every day is apparently scientists in the climate science, it was obviously a source of grants. the discipline that would be considered to be one of the most inferior disciplines of physical sciences (i will focus on this point later) would suddenly lead the fight to "save the earth". dear boffins, will we die by 2050 or not? please tell us! that has led to the increase of funding for the climate science by more than an order of magnitude in less than 2 decades. in other words, more than 90% of the money that this community is getting is linked to the climate hysteria. with this tight correlation between the funding and the hysteria, you simply can't be surprised that many people found it convenient to switch to the panic and many more people were hired just because they were compatible with the hysteria even though they completely suck as tension between the climate alarmists and particle or fundamental physics has been described in many previous blog posts. that's why i want to switch to something else, namely the sad observation that in the "skeptical grassroots climate movement", one may find a similar kind of hostility against legitimate science. two days ago, the world's most widely read blog about the climate would publish the returned 8 years into the past and promoted an atrocious text by a certified crackpot named lee smolin. the blog post at anthony watts' climate blog was contributed by eric worrall. you may check that it is a completely unknown person with no papers and just a few nearly unknown patents listed by google scholar, and those are related to some everyday biochemistry, like watts himself, he clearly doesn't have and cannot have a clue about particle physics. but he decided to "pick the winners", anyway. the rating was close to am physically scared of the people who can't see that edward witten or even myself, for that matter is vastly smarter than the likes of lee smolin. i am scared that many of these morons are actually and would love to influence the evolution of a scientific discipline that is about 40 iq points above their mental am shocked that these morons are arrogant enough to talk about" when it comes to string theorists. string theorists are pretty much or at most if one counts them enough smartest people on the earth. if i want to meet another string theorist, i have to travel 100 kilometers (to prague) and hope that martin has a spare hour. if i want to meet about 5 string theorists, i have to ride 200 kilometers in the opposite direction (to munich). if i want to see a group of roughly 10 string theorists, i have to move by 600 kilometers somewhere to amsterdam or something, and so on. you are surely getting the number of morons who have that idiotic rant by eric worrall within a few hours is orders of magnitude larger than the number of all string theorists on planet earth. how can they fail to see that to talk about of string theorists" is a rigorous proof of their hopeless string theorists agree about something, well, it's because there is evidence often as as a readable mathematical proof. it is completely nonsensical to demand some "diversity about every question" within the scientific community or its relevant part. as science is making progress, it's converging towards the correct answers (most of the time) and the percentage of the people who disagree with the correct answers is decreasing. those who agree are asking more detailed questions and developing more accurate theories, so their large percentage is being split to "subgroups" that differ when it comes to more refined issues. you will always find questions in which over 99% of the people agree, you will always find questions on which the researchers are split, and there will always be big differences between the encoding the opinions of the experts and those of the general public. to pretend that these observations indicate something "sick" about the science is insane.well, i don't believe that most people outside these climate wars are similarly unreasonable. both the climate alarmist movement and the bulk of the climate skeptical movement have one thing in common: they think that things like measuring and the temperature belong to the culmination of science. but you know, to decide whether string theory or loop quantum gravity correctly describes black hole is harder than to read the temperature from the thermometer or to notice that the thermometer is 2 meters away from an sidewalk.well, everyone who has a clue knows that the science of climate change is at most a continuation of a discipline of classical physics that would mostly freeze something like 100 years ago and wouldn't dramatically evolve afterwards. atmospheric physics, climatology, and meteorology are that would attract the weakest students of physics in physics departments of universities across the world. i could tell you quite something about this correlation from my alma mater the charles university in prague.moreover, i can assure you that almost all physicists in the disciplines that would attract the talents it would be particle physics and condensed matter physics most of the time, with some genetics and financial fields at different but overlapping eras (of course that the disciplines attracting the top minds are evolving in time) would confirm my comments about the inferior status of the disciplines, and so would a very famous atmospheric scientist at mit whom i know rather well in person - guess who is like the alarmists, it looks like the community is really "living" the life focusing on these climate in the real world, there hasn't been really any significant "climate change" in the last two decades. the trend of the global mean temperature in the last 18 years and 1 month is zero (or minus epsilon). there's absolutely nothing to talk about here. more sadly, climate science has made a minimal progress in improving its knowledge (including topics that are emphasized all the time, like the climate sensitivity) during the same two decades, despite some $70 billion that have been thrown to this research (or thrown to the garbage bin with the words that it's needed for the climate alarmists (from many occupations, see the motivations at the top) have attempted to promote the climate panic to one of the most important issues in the world. the most solid reason why i would consider the climate panic irrational is nothing else than the fact that the climate change surely doesn't make it among the (100) most important trends or issues to be considered. if it's not important, it's silly to talk about it all the the bulk of the climate skeptical movement must disagree with these trivial comments because it's possible to publish something like 10 news stories every day that happen to attract almost readers. what these stories can be about in the world where nothing substantial has really changed about the climate (and the climate research) for 20 should be think that a sensible "skeptic" would want this irrational panic to simply fade away that's what i always wanted and we should encourage the apparent trend that this fad seems to be fading away, indeed. but i feel it ain't the case for skeptics including anthony. it seems to me that they learned to love the (completely indefensible) idea that the climate change is an important topic and it stay an important topic (or even become a more important one). from this perspective, the differences between the likes of michael mann and anthony watts might be much more minor than we are normally is an issue i started to be increasingly worried roughly 2 weeks ago when anthony watts attended a lecture by michael mann in bristol . the very idea that an important american such as anthony watts would fly from the u.s. to southwestern england mainly to see a talk by a notorious but otherwise irrelevant crook sounded surreal to me. does anthony really believe that a talk by a michael mann is this important for watts to fly to another the evaluation of the event looked even more surreal. i was expecting that because watts was flying to europe for such an event, he would at least be visible or important in some way. but a facebook discussion by some alarmists has painted a very different other words, anthony and pals played the role of "pussies" who would not only help to legitimize michael mann but they would work hard to make him important. my interpretation is that a talk that attracts a blogger from another continent whose blog has about 200 million views has to be important. while michael mann who is pretty much a crook didn't "win" a word of criticism, anthony watts found it a good idea to post a text against all of high energy physics by a biochemical crank.similarly, three years ago, watts would promote cold fusion , while allowing the guest blogger to spit on all of nuclear physics. why? how is it climate alarmists and leftists often say that the skeptics and u.s. conservatives hate and deny almost all of science, and all things like that, and one must say that the evidence does indicate that these statements could be pretty much accurate, especially when it comes to modern physics more or less everything that is conceptually new and was found since the year 1900. a problem is that the climate alarmists are doing the same thing and john obsessive attacks on edward witten and his field was just one example i chose sad reason is that almost no one in these camps actually cares about science. these wars are political wars and they have always been political wars. science is only used as a hostage. my opinions about the political wars are well-known but unfortunately, there are not too many people who think that science is at least equally important.	ɪts ə taɪ: boʊθ

image copyright getty images image caption is there a lesbian subtext to the disney movie frozen? does "letting go" mean coming out? to kevin swanson, a pastor and host of a radio show, it does. swanson slammed disney's animated film frozen, calling it the work of the devil. "friends, this is evil, just evil," he said. swanson contends the film young women to be lesbians and convinces people that homosexuality and bestiality are acceptable in society. while swanson doesn't specifically cite what parts of the film he sees as promoting homosexuality, others have drawn parallels between the kingdom's rejection of the magical powers of one of the main characters, elsa, and society's rejection of homosexuality. the words to let it go are clearly not friendly, by any stretch of the imagination, when understood and heard kathryn skaggs, blogger many equate film's most song, let it go, with the experience of coming out and accepting one's sexual orientation. "disney has a long history of fielding accusations of using its children's movies to advance one liberal agenda or another - whether it's gay rights, environmentalism or socialism," writes the daily caitlin dickson. "however, there seems to be something about frozen that has attracted more than the usual amount of controversy for a kids' cartoon." kathryn skaggs, a mormon blogger, identifies what she sees as the film's attempt to homosexuality. she writes: when mainstream society comes to the point where it celebrates that which is contrary to the commandments, taught in a movie presumably made for children, by awarding it the highest accolades within its culture, and good parents don't perceive it, but rather endorse it unwittingly, we are in serious trouble. she targets much of her fire on let it go, which she says hides a "subversive" message beneath a catchy tune: the words to let it go are clearly not friendly, by any stretch of the imagination, when understood and heard. this is not an innocent song, with a catchy tune. it is rebellious. it mocks moral absolutes. it is careless. it is unaccountable. it is anti-obedience. it is regardless. it is selfish. and if you still disagree, then by all means, feel free to show me how i've misinterpreted the lyrics. mark saal, another mormon blogger, disagrees with skaggs' comments. lyrics from let it go the snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen. a kingdom of isolation and it i'm the queen. the wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. couldn't keep it in, heaven knows i tried. don't let them in, don't let them the good girl you always have to be. conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. well, now they know! "sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar," he says. if you look hard enough, he says, you can find a hidden homosexual agenda in almost any song, movie or any other work of art. meanwhile, some members and allies to the community are claiming elsa as their own. ryan c robert, writing for qodda, argues that the film has given youth a character with which to empathise. he says the movie portrays unconditional love, and many kids need to understand that people will love them regardless of what happens. "disney's frozen may not have intended for one of the main characters, elsa, to have a story that is such an easy parallel to the world of growing up in the closet, but it happened," he writes. "it happened, and now we're gonna celebrate." there isn't consensus in the community as to what the movie means, however. "it's time for a reality check," writes the daily rob price. "i don't wish to dismiss anyone's interpretation, or tell someone they're watching a film 'the wrong way' - but for me at least, these claims just don't add up." while he says he would love frozen to be a movie about coming out, it's not, he says. frozen is a timid step in the right direction, but still sticks to plenty of societal standards. "praising the film studio for the animated scraps they're currently throwing to theq community will only breed complacency on their part; it's about time they 'let it go' and come out the celluloid closet for good," he says. it seems like just about everyone wants a piece of elsa. perhaps the best thing to do is to act like the movie's lovable snowman, olaf, and go looking for some warm hugs until the storm blows over.

when three middle schoolers put their head together, a potential was the result. inspired by the problems of ivory poaching and species extinction, ahmed, his brother ahmed and their friend jack created the african endangered species conservation fund (aescf), a nonprofit trying to save species at risk of extinction. “our main goal is to protect species in africa primarily, and starting right now by raising awareness,” said ahmed, a middle school student from jonas clarke middle school. is serving as the chairman of the nonprofit. rayhan ahmed, the chief operating officer of the fund, said the problem they are dealing with is an issue everybody should be worried about. “we were encouraged to save endangered species because they already have so much stacked against them,” said. “they need to have someone to advocate for them.” the boys’ main goal is to stem the demand for ivory, which they said is leading to the "egregious killings of species on the brink of extinction." jack, who is the chief operating officer and does most of the research for the company, said they became attracted to the concept when they learned about the ivory trade in china. “from a global economics standpoint, recently china has seen an economic slowdown,” jack said. “a few years ago china was having an economic boom and with it came a boom in poaching. for them, ivory is a sign of wealth and power.” people in china have already begun responding to the fund's message, according to. he said in tracking visits to their website, approximately 51 percent of the traffic comes from china. china and the united states are the two biggest consumers of illegal ivory. president barack obama and chinese president xi has formulated agreements to end the trade of ivory in their countries. ashlan said trying to demote the value of ivory in american and chinese society is key to breaking down the market poachers in africa sell to. “countries have been working to cut down ivory production,” said. “the u.s. government is waking up in a sense.” a large number of the poachers selling the ivory are from the african countries much of the ivory comes from. said instead of killing elephants for ivory, those countries could be investing in tourism, using their natural resources to benefit the country. “all these communities rely on poaching,” said. “you have to remember these are countries.” rayhan said he was in contact with representatives from thomson safaris investigating the possibility of developing a tourism industry in countries who supply ivory. school reactions the boys agreed the school has been supportive in their efforts. jonas clarke middle school principal anna monaco said she allowed the boys to use one of their blocks, called (win) blocks, during the week to use as a meeting time for. “they’re really passionate about this. i think amazing, and happy to encourage them during the school day,” monaco said. “to me, this sounds like a great enrichment opportunity.” ashlan said this was one of their biggest accomplishments. jack said this allows for a central location where they can introduce themselves to potential volunteers. “that has created a lot more chances for volunteers to hear what we have to say,” jack said. bryan rotundo, a learning center teacher at clarke and the boys’ faculty advisor, said most all of the work comes down to the students. “the ideas, the genesis for everything, comes from them,” rotundo said. “it’s completely their organization.” working with other students does come with its difficulties. “we’ve seen some criticism from fellow students that like the way we were running things,” jack said. “they want us to start actually changing things in africa.” the boys said they understand big plans take time. “this all seems like going to be flashy,” jack said. “on most stages not experiencing those milestones. emailing someone or typing something or just putting up posters in school.” plans for the future once the beginning phases are complete, has plans to spread their word to a larger audience and ultimately begin making tangible differences in the poaching problem. after meeting students from 12 different states at a summer camp at stanford university, the boys helped create other groups in schools all over the country. they said they are in contact regularly, and coordinate with the satellite groups to keep spreading the word. “usually they do sort of what we do, raise awareness in their school,” said. rayhan said changing laws will be integral to seeing that extinction becomes a thing of the past. “we are hoping to change policy to affect some of the poaching laws in this country,” said. jack said carving out their own part of africa was one of the ultimate goals. “i hope to actually land in africa. we could start our own nature reserve,” said. “it’s a long-term goal we think we can make happen.” to donate, or to find out more, visit their website at www.aescf.org. follow al gentile on

the ipad has invaded dozens of industries over the last year. folks in the field of enterprise, education, health, and politics have seen the benefits of the slate. even professional football teams are starting to realize the potential of popular tablet. earlier this year, we reported that tampa buccaneers were trading in their play books for the ipad 2. over 90 ipads were distributed to members of the coaching staff and players and, according to a recent article by cnn, proven to be a resounding success… the report says ipads are an absolute hit with both buccaneers players and coaches. the tablets are with the full playbook, and game film so players can analyze their past performances and study their opponents. the buccaneers general manager, mark dominik, says that the ipads have been a “smashing success” for the bucs. apparently, the team printed paper copies of its playbook this year as backups, but they used them. “we’re going green” next year, says dominik. the players are also singing the praises. bucs linebacker geno hayes says that the easy access to game film has created a kind of addiction. always watching it. and defensive tackle gerald mccoy told cnn, “everyone loves this, man. very helpful.” but the nfl still has reservations about tablets on the field: “don’t expect to see the tablets on the sidelines of games, in locker rooms or in the coaches’ booth. nfl rules prohibit the use of any electronic computers, tablets or recording devices within 90 minutes of kickoff. nfl spokesman brian mccarthy says the league is “strategically holding back” on technology advancements. “we try to keep as much of the human element in the game as possible,” he said. in addition, he said, the strategy is to keep competition fair among all the teams.” regardless, the success of the ipad with the tampa bay buccaneers could lead to further adoption by other nfl organizations. and with over 3000 participating players, that could equal some serious tablet sales for apple. the funny part? the nfl is sponsored by motorola, the maker of the “xoom” tablet. we wonder why the players just use that?

"i would have loved to stay on for another two years. however, i am pragmatic and i know we are in the results business.

globe-trotting 'set up $10million ponzi scheme to finance lifestyle of luxury cars, a life in rome and an acting career' a fraudster has been arrested for allegedly investors out of $10million while running an international ponzi scheme. donald r. french first launched the scam when he was just a, and used investors' money to jet around the world and pay off gambling debts, according to fbi officials. his four-year streak ended this summer when he was arrested in south africa and extradited to las vegas, where he had been caught passing off fraudulent cheques worth $750,000. last week the was transported to florida to stand trial on federal wire fraud charges over the alleged ponzi scheme, according to the - and now he could face 20 years in prison. arrested: donald french, pictured left after his arrest for passing bad cheques and right in 2008, is accused of running a $10million international ponzi scheme french founded capital management in 2008, with an office address in an expensive neighbourhood of boca raton. the hedge fund advertised itself as 'a premier provider of global investment management', and offered investors huge returns by their money into foreign currency, energy projects and emeralds. where the money went $1.48million spent on his debit card $1.28million withdrawn in cash $450,000 gambling debt at cosmopolitan casino in las vegas $62,000 to hire luxury cars however, earlier this year french apparently admitted to fbi agent daniel szczepanski that he relied on 'his ability to lie and manipulate people' to attract funding. $10million flowed in to the fund over four years - even though its office was nothing more than a mailing and telephone number. one investor was persuaded to commit nearly $2million to after french promised her annual returns of 50 per cent on her money, according to mr szczepanski. after she put in $1million, french persuaded her that she could only recover her money by paying in another $1million - and he personally accompanied her to a bank to watch her transfer the money. lookalike? french tried to launch an acting career and claimed he looked like brad pitt officials say that almost none of the money went into legitimate investments, and was instead used by french to fund his lifestyle. he has spent much of the past five years in rome, where he lives with his and their daughter. he attempted to launch a film career in italy - with one casting agency touting him as a brad pitt lookalike. french is believed to have spent over $1million on his gambling debts at the cosmopolitan casino in las vegas. haunts: french lived for several years in rome, left, and has also spent time in south africa, right debts: the alleged fraudster spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at the cosmopolitan casino in las vegas he also withdrew more than $1million in cash and spent nearly $1.5million on his debit card, according to court records. and it was his gambling habit that finally brought an end to his alleged scam, as he was forced to plead guilty in august for passing a bad check and sentenced to 30 months in jail. if convicted of running a ponzi scheme, he will spend up to two decades in prison. french's allegedly gains appear to have run out - court records show that he cannot afford to hire a lawyer, and he reports no significant assets or property.	globe-trotting* 'sɛt əp ˈpɑnzi skim tɪ ˈfaɪˌnæns ˈlaɪfˌstaɪl əv ˈləgʒəri kɑz, ə laɪf ɪn roʊm ənd ən ˈæktɪŋ kərɪr' ə ˈfrɔdstər həz bɪn ərˈɛstɪd fər əˈlɛʤədli ˌɪnˈvɛstərz aʊt əv waɪl ˈrənɪŋ ən ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈpɑnzi skim. ˈdɑnəld ɑr. frɛnʧ fərst lɔnʧt ðə skæm wɪn hi wɑz ʤɪst ə, ənd juzd ˌɪnˈvɛstərz' ˈməni tɪ ʤɛt əraʊnd ðə wərld ənd peɪ ɔf ˈgæmbəlɪŋ dɛts, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ əˈfɪʃəlz. hɪz ˌfɔˈrjɪr strik ˈɛndɪd ðɪs ˈsəmər wɪn hi wɑz ərˈɛstɪd ɪn saʊθ ˈæfrɪkɑ ənd ˈɛkstrəˌdaɪtɪd tɪ ˈɛˈleɪˈɛs ˈveɪgəs, wɛr hi hæd bɪn kɔt ˈpæsɪŋ ɔf ˈfrɔʤələnt ʧɛks wərθ læst wik ðə wɑz trænˈspɔrtəd tɪ ˈflɔrɪdə tɪ stænd traɪəl ɔn ˈfɛdərəl waɪər frɔd ˈʧɑrʤɪz ˈoʊvər ðə əˈlɛʤd ˈpɑnzi skim, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə ənd naʊ hi kʊd feɪs 20 jɪrz ɪn ˈprɪzən. ərˈɛstɪd: ˈdɑnəld frɛnʧ, ˈpɪkʧərd lɛft ˈæftər hɪz ərˈɛst fər ˈpæsɪŋ bæd ʧɛks ənd raɪt ɪn 2008 ɪz əˈkjuzd əv ˈrənɪŋ ə ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈpɑnzi skim frɛnʧ ˈfaʊndɪd ˈkæpɪtəl ˈmænɪʤmənt ɪn 2008 wɪθ ən ˈɔfəs ˈæˌdrɛs ɪn ən ɪkˈspɛnsɪv ˈneɪbərˌhʊd əv ˈboʊkə rəˈtoʊn. ðə hɛʤ fənd ˌædvərˈtaɪzd ˌɪtˈsɛlf ɛz 'ə prɛˈmɪr prəˈvaɪdər əv ˈgloʊbəl ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt ˈmænɪʤmənt', ənd ˈɔfərd ˌɪnˈvɛstərz juʤ rɪˈtərnz baɪ ðɛr ˈməni ˈɪntu ˈfɔrən ˈkərənsi, ˈɛnərʤi ˈprɑʤɛkts ənd ˈɛmərrəldz. wɛr ðə ˈməni wɛnt spɛnt ɔn hɪz ˈdɛbɪt kɑrd wɪθˈdrɔn ɪn kæʃ ˈgæmbəlɪŋ dɛt æt ˌkɑzməˈpɑlətən kəˈsinoʊ ɪn ˈɛˈleɪˈɛs ˈveɪgəs tɪ haɪər ˈləgʒəri kɑz ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈərliər ðɪs jɪr frɛnʧ əˈpɛrəntli ədˈmɪtəd tɪ ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ˈeɪʤənt ˈdænjəl ʃɪˈpænski ðət hi rɪˈlaɪd ɔn 'hɪz əˈbɪləˌti tɪ laɪ ənd məˈnɪpjəˌleɪt ˈpipəl' tɪ əˈtrækt ˈfəndɪŋ. floʊd ɪn tɪ ðə fənd ˈoʊvər fɔr jɪrz ˈivɪn ðoʊ ɪts ˈɔfəs wɑz ˈnəθɪŋ mɔr ðən ə ˈmeɪlɪŋ ənd ˈtɛləˌfoʊn ˈnəmbər. wən ˌɪnˈvɛstər wɑz pərsˈweɪdɪd tɪ kəˈmɪt ˈnɪrli tɪ ˈæftər frɛnʧ ˈprɑməst hər ˈænjuəl rɪˈtərnz əv 50 pər sɛnt ɔn hər ˈməni, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈmɪstər ʃɪˈpænski. ˈæftər ʃi pʊt ɪn, frɛnʧ pərsˈweɪdɪd hər ðət ʃi kʊd ˈoʊnli rɪˈkəvər hər ˈməni baɪ peɪɪŋ ɪn əˈnəðər ənd hi ˈpərsənəli əˈkəmpənid hər tɪ ə bæŋk tɪ wɔʧ hər ˈtrænsfər ðə ˈməni. ˈlʊkəˌlaɪk?

elaborating on visit,, who regarded the one-time china foreign minister as a close friend, said the visit reflected the close ties between china and malaysia. reuters pic putrajaya, may 10 malaysia and china have agreed to settle south china issues through the declaration on the conduct of parties in the south china sea (doc) and to speed up the completion of the code of conduct in the south china sea (coc). malaysian foreign minister datuk aman said the agreement was reached at his meeting with visiting china state yang after the latter called on him at here today. speaking to reporters after the meeting, said the issues discussed at their meeting included the encroachment of chinese fishermen into malaysian waters. "we raised our concern and he (yang) said he will look into it. we believe that between friends we should be able to find solutions. "we (malaysia and china) are not exactly neighbours but we share the same south china sea. so we are bound to have that kind of problems," he said. anifah said malaysia faced the problem of fishermen encroaching into its waters even with indonesia because of overlapping areas. "therefore, what we (malaysia and china) have promised is to settle all issues through the doc and speed up the completion of the," he added. in march this year, it was reported that about 100 boats and vessels had been detected encroaching into malaysian waters near ali in the south china sea. it was also reported that the malaysian foreign ministry summoned the chinese ambassador to malaysia, dr huang huikang, to provide some clarification and to register malaysia's concern over the matter. besides china, asean countries involved in the overlapping territorial claims in the south china sea are brunei, malaysia, the philippines and vietnam. the overlapping territorial maritime claims had resulted in the signing of the doc in 2002 between asean and china to pave the way for and draw up the as a guideline to avoid any friction in the area. elaborating on visit,, who regarded the one-time china foreign minister as a close friend, said the visit reflected the close ties between china and malaysia. anifah said they also discussed bilateral relations, the economy and ways to boost bilateral trade and investment. "because of malaysia's close relationship with china, we (both countries) sincerely believe that we should be able to talk to each other about problems that we may have, provided we continue to keep the communication and engagement open," he said. yang arrived yesterday for a two-day working visit. visit is the fourth to malaysia in his capacity as the state. he had visited malaysia five times as foreign affairs minister, between 2007 and 2012. according to a statement, visit reflected the close relations between malaysia and china and the strong desire of both countries to strengthen the ties. bernama	ɪˈlæbərˌeɪtɪŋ ɔn ˈvɪzɪt,, hu rɪˈgɑrdɪd ðə ˈwəˌtaɪm ˈʧaɪnə ˈfɔrən ˈmɪnɪstər ɛz ə kloʊz frɛnd, sɛd ðə ˈvɪzɪt rɪˈflɛktɪd ðə kloʊz taɪz bɪtˈwin ˈʧaɪnə ənd məˈleɪʒə. ˈrɔɪtərz pɪk putrajaya, meɪ 10 məˈleɪʒə ənd ˈʧaɪnə hæv əˈgrid tɪ ˈsɛtəl saʊθ ˈʧaɪnə ˈɪʃuz θru ðə ˌdɛklərˈeɪʃən ɔn ðə ˈkɑndəkt əv ˈpɑrtiz ɪn ðə saʊθ ˈʧaɪnə si (dɑk) ənd tɪ spid əp ðə kəmˈpliʃən əv ðə koʊd əv ˈkɑndəkt ɪn ðə saʊθ ˈʧaɪnə si (coc). məˈleɪʒən ˈfɔrən ˈmɪnɪstər ˈdɑˌtuk ˈɑmən sɛd ðə əˈgrimənt wɑz riʧt æt hɪz ˈmitɪŋ wɪθ ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˈʧaɪnə steɪt jæŋ ˈæftər ðə ˈlætər kɔld ɔn ɪm æt hir təˈdeɪ. ˈspikɪŋ tɪ rɪˈpɔrtərz ˈæftər ðə ˈmitɪŋ, sɛd ðə ˈɪʃuz dɪˈskəst æt ðɛr ˈmitɪŋ ˌɪnˈkludɪd ðə ɛnˈkroʊʧmənt əv ʧaɪˈniz ˈfɪʃərmɪn ˈɪntu məˈleɪʒən ˈwɔtərz.

jaime garcia has had tommy john surgery, surgery, and surgery. despite those setbacks or perhaps to spite them yesterday garcia pitched the game of his life, throwing harder than he ever has during his career. afternoon was nearly perfect: a wild pitch on a strikeout, a walk that was erased by a double play, and one single were the only blemishes on a performance. performance was made possible by continuing to keep the brewers hitters off balance. garcia’s opposition on the day often seemed dumbfounded by his arsenal, unable to figure out which pitch was coming and frequently finding themselves frozen. of pitches were taken for strikes, and these just fastballs. eight of the 13 garcia strikeouts came looking. given that so many pitches were taken, probably necessary to check the strike zone and make sure garcia was not benefiting from an expanded zone. here was the zone against left-handers, from the point of view. it looks like milwaukee might have an argument on a couple of their pitches, but there are no called strikes for garcia out of the traditional zone, and there is even one ball. now, for the right-handers: same situation here: milwaukee pitchers could have gotten a few more strikes, but garcia was not the beneficiary of a strike zone. what is noticeable, particularly in the right-handed plot, is how willing garcia is to pitch throughout the strike zone. garcia gets such great movement on his pitches and keeps hitters off balance, it particularly matter where a pitch is located. this is not a new phenomenon for garcia. when i wrote about his resurrection last season, i contrasted his heat map with fellow pitchers, noting that garcia used all of the strike zone, as illustrated by the heat map below. garcia throws five pitches, and he gets good results from all of them, although he only threw one curve in the game against milwaukee. last season, all five pitches,, slider, change, curve featured run values at least two runs above average and among the top 35 for each pitch. this was despite the fact that garcia recorded just 129 innings, throwing only his more than 22% of the time and throwing his curve just 6% of the time. the only other pitchers in baseball last season to record at least two runs above average on five different pitches were matt harvey, sonny gray, and jake arrieta. garcia’s mix works in the absence of high velocity because the pitches all work differently with different movement and speed and all of them possess very good movement. to give a basic idea of how the pitches work together, the chart below depicts the horizontal and vertical movement on pitches from game (once again, from the perspective). the and the are thrown at roughly the same speed, but they move differently, with theer moving further away from right-handers. now compare the with the change. the movement of the two pitches is nearly identical, but with an velocity difference, the deceptively similar pitches will be difficult to hit. let’s watch it in action. ryan braun was the third batter of the game. he saw two fastballs that he fouled off, the second one at mph, per brooks baseball, which is nearly the fastest pitch garcia has ever thrown in the majors. garcia does not waste pitches and, while a pitch on the inner half of the plate does not seem like a good idea, the change fools braun. if he throws the like that, the pitch is probably inside based on the graph above, but the movement on the change keeps the ball over the plate and the drop in speed is deceptive. that was one of five strikeouts garcia would get on three pitches. here is another to jonathan. garcia started off with a sinker in the bottom of the zone for strike one. he then gets to chase a change down out of the zone but across the plate. then he throws a slider. from where garcia stands on the rubber, that pitch might have looked to like it was going high and outside. it would have been outside if he had thrown theer,er, or change the pitch that he just on but it was the slider, and that pitch moved back across the plate and stayed in the strike zone. it would not be fair to say the brewers gave up at any point, but garcia certainly left them with little hope throughout the day. in the sixth inning, scooter gennett came to the plate and took aer, then on a slider. perhaps thinking slider again, gennett seemed for anotherer on the outer half of the plate. it might be time to add the caveat that garcia did this against the brewers, a team few expect to finish anywhere near the playoff race this season. however, the brewers are not the padres on offense. milwaukee will be really bad this year because of the pitching. their team projected of .315 comes in tied for eighth in the national league, and their projected runs scored is ninth, just of a run away from the marlins. ryan braun, jonathan and domingo santana are all projected average as hitters with gennett coming close to average. broxton, rivera, martin maldonado, and aaron hill all project poorly, but the lineup is not completely helpless. while the number of strikeouts on three pitches are a signal of efficiency, he kept that efficiency throughout the game. he never threw more than 14 pitches in any inning, and he got through the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings on just 29 pitches total. he could not quite complete clayton kershaw (104 pitches in 2015), madison bumgarner (103 pitches in 2014), and greg maddux (102 pitches in 1998), per a search on play index. coincidentally, those games were all one-hitters, as well. using the first game score method from bill james, outing receives a 97, tied for highest of the season with vincent valasquez. using the newer version now available on fangraphs, garcia scores a 101, just two points behind gem. there were only six games last year with a higher score and three were authored by max scherzer. while nominally the cardinals’ fourth starter, that status is due only to health concerns tied to past. (74-) over the last calendar year in innings is eighth in baseball, just behind chris sale and david price, and just ahead of dallas and max scherzer. when garcia, still just 29 years old, is healthy and pitching, there are few that can match what he brings to the mound. enjoy it while you can.	ˈhaɪmi ˌgɑrˈsiə həz hæd ˈtɑmi ʤɑn ˈsərʤəri, ˈsərʤəri, ənd ˈsərʤəri. dɪˈspaɪt ðoʊz ˈsɛtˌbæks ər pərˈhæps

signup to receive a daily roundup of the top lgbt+ news stories from around the world singer miley cyrus has spoken out about rumours that she is a lesbian to say that it “isn’t a bad thing”, and that she takes it as “a compliment”. the star has often faced rumours around her sexuality, particularly when she recently changed her image, cutting her hair short and bleaching it. she spoke of being featured on maxim cover, and that she was proud her image had gotten her voted to number one in its annual hot list. “everyone said i was a lesbian but like, ‘being a lesbian a bad thing. so if you think i look like a lesbian, not offended. you can call me much worse,'” she said. “being a lesbian is a compliment more than what else they call me. “people think short hair, they think tomboy… and obviously done the opposite ’cause when i cut my hair, i did my first maxim cover where i got no 1 [in their annual hot list]. “and it about me being the sexiest. it was about the fans voting. but something i loved. i think ever seen a maxim cover with a girl with short hair.” cyrus recently joined those in support of the disney decision to for the first time include same-sex parents in one of its flagship programmes.	signup* tɪ rɪˈsiv ə ˈdeɪli ˈraʊnˌdəp əv ðə tɔp lgbt+ nuz ˈstɔriz frəm əraʊnd ðə wərld ˈsɪŋər ˈmaɪli ˈsaɪrəs həz ˈspoʊkən aʊt əˈbaʊt ˈrumərz ðət ʃi ɪz ə ˈlɛzbiən tɪ seɪ ðət ɪt ə bæd thing””, ənd ðət ʃi teɪks ɪt ɛz compliment””. ðə stɑr həz ˈɔfən feɪst ˈrumərz əraʊnd hər ˌsɛkʃuˈæləti, ˌpɑrˈtɪkjələrli wɪn ʃi ˈrisəntli ʧeɪnʤd hər ˈɪmɪʤ, ˈkətɪŋ hər hɛr ʃɔrt ənd ˈbliʧɪŋ ɪt. ʃi spoʊk əv biɪŋ ˈfiʧərd ɔn ˈmæksəm ˈkəvər, ənd ðət ʃi wɑz praʊd hər ˈɪmɪʤ hæd ˈgɔtən hər ˈvoʊtɪd tɪ ˈnəmbər wən ɪn ɪts ˈænjuəl hɑt lɪst. sɛd aɪ wɑz ə ˈlɛzbiən bət laɪk, ə ˈlɛzbiən ə bæd θɪŋ. soʊ ɪf ju θɪŋk aɪ lʊk laɪk ə ˈlɛzbiən, nɑt əˈfɛndɪd. ju kən kɔl mi məʧ worse,'”,'” ʃi sɛd. ə ˈlɛzbiən ɪz ə ˈkɑmpləmɛnt mɔr ðən wət ɛls ðeɪ kɔl mi. θɪŋk ʃɔrt hɛr, ðeɪ θɪŋk tomboy…… ənd ˈɑbviəsli dən ðə ˈɑpəzɪt wɪn aɪ kət maɪ hɛr, aɪ dɪd maɪ fərst ˈmæksəm ˈkəvər wɛr aɪ gɑt noʊ 1 [ɪn ðɛr ˈænjuəl hɑt lɪst]. ɪt əˈbaʊt mi biɪŋ ðə ˈsɛksiəst. ɪt wɑz əˈbaʊt ðə fænz ˈvoʊtɪŋ. bət ˈsəmθɪŋ aɪ ləvd. aɪ θɪŋk ˈɛvər sin ə ˈmæksəm ˈkəvər wɪθ ə gərl wɪθ ʃɔrt hair.”.” ˈsaɪrəs ˈrisəntli ʤɔɪnd ðoʊz ɪn səˈpɔrt əv ðə ˈdɪzni dɪˈsɪʒən tɪ fər ðə fərst taɪm ˌɪnˈklud ˌseɪmˈsɛks ˈpɛrənts ɪn wən əv ɪts ˈflægˌʃɪp programmes*.
getty images / jamie squire the drought needs to end. the toronto blue jays have not made the since winning the world series in 1993, the longest dry spell in major league baseball. though the jays have made blockbuster trades aimed at ending the streak in recent years, including this, they have not finished any better than third in the american league east in the last eight seasons. this has been one of the most in franchise history. toronto acquired candidate josh donaldson in a trade and signed native son russell martin as a free agent. but the jays are still one major piece away from ending the drought at 21 years. james shields is that piece. the blue jays’ rotation was not good last season, ranking out of 15 al teams with a era and with a fip. and aside from their fifth spot, the rotation will be the same for 2015, with r.a. dickey, marcus stroman, mark buehrle and drew hutchison all returning. clearly, there is room to upgrade and a significant need for a no. 1 starter. the problem is money. the blue jays have a reported $5-7 million remaining in their budget, and as of now, it seems to be earmarked for bullpen improvements. shields is going to cost considerably more than what the jays currently have in their budget. that is even with rumblings from cbs sports' jon heyman that the five-year, $110 million offer he was reported to have on the table was a "mirage," and that his price tag is likely going to end up being considerably less. if his asking price does drop, it could put the blue jays in play, but it would also open the door for several other teams as well. major league sources confirmed to fox sports’ ken rosenthal earlier this month that the jays do indeed have interest in shields and have had internal discussions to determine a price the club would be comfortable spending. all, the payroll threshold for the blue jays has been set at around $137 million, and they are currently at around $130 million in commitments, according to information from baseball contracts. usa today sports in order to sign shields, the contract would probably have to be backloaded, as is deal. it will also require ownership group, rogers communications, to be willing to push their payroll into the $150 million territory. there are definite obstacles in making this happen, but if it does, shields will be the key piece in making the blue jays a 2015 participant as he was for kansas world series run last october. as things stand now, the al east seems to be the most division in baseball. last champions, the baltimore orioles, lost a ton of power in nelson cruz and a reliable bat in nick and also do not have a true ace in their rotation. the new york yankees are aging and prone to injuries, especially in their rotation. the tampa bay rays lost their best player, ben zobrist, and the boston red sox, despite big-time upgrades to their lineup, have real questions concerning their rotation. signing shields would mean the blue jays have a durable no. 1 starter to head their rotation backed by one of the deepest lineups in the al. that does not mean the jays would be a lock to win the division, but shields would give their chances a massive boost. the market for shields has taken a weird turn in the last month. teams seem to have fleeting interest in him, and others have all but completely shut the door on signing him, including ones that have pitching needs like the san diego padres, red sox and royals. one executive even thinks part of the problem is that shields’ agent, page odle, has not marketed shields like an ace, as the boston nick reported sunday. orlin press whatever the reason for shields’ suddenly odd market, he is there to be had for the blue jays and at a price that has dropped significantly from the rumored $110 million. while it is easy to understand apprehension at handing a pitcher upward of $80 million, the risk is still relatively small since rosenthal reported the length of a shields contract would likely be four years. that makes the pitcher a manageable investment. the blue jays have already committed themselves to winning in 2015. the moves to acquire donaldson and martin prove that much. but they are still an incomplete team. they are missing a arm, one that shields possesses. in order for the toronto to legitimize its push to end the longest playoff drought in the majors, it needs to open the wallet and get its ace. anthony covers major league baseball for bleacher report. he spent he previous three seasons as the national baseball columnist at sporting news and four years before that as the brewers beat writer for the milwaukee journal sentinel. follow anthony on twitter and talk baseball here.	ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz ˈʤeɪmi skwaɪr ðə draʊt nidz tɪ ɛnd. ðə tərˈɑntoʊ blu

brent rathgeber, the tall, nerdy conservative with a blog had apparently been coaxed yesterday to one of the house three microphones by a question about the transfer of omar to a prison in edmonton, the city from which mr. rathgeber hails. soon enough, mr. rathgeber was being asked about the matter of nigel wright and mike duffy, a politician at a microphone inevitably attracting other reporters with other questions. mr. rathgeber said he believed the prime minister, but that what the prime minister know raised questions about the operations of the prime office. he worried about the power of the executive over the legislature. he said it was now for mr. wright and mr. duffy to answer questions. he said the conservative supporters were angry. and then a reporter asked if he had a response to the news that mr. duffy had apparently once wanted to be a cabinet minister. “well,” he said, “i think it just reinforces what i said to one of the first questions as to why i commented on the story. because the story changes day by day, sometimes hour by hour, now minute by minute. i heard that.” shortly thereafter, the regularly indignant charlie angus arrived at an adjacent microphone. “if the prime minister came clean, people might feel more reassured,” he offered. “i’ll tell you, when you go back home to the tim and you talk to people, they are upset. and they want answers.” finally, to the middle microphone, escorted by andrew cash and craig scott, walked eric peterson, television star of corner gas and street legal. mr. peterson had apparently been in the gallery for question period, invited as a recipient of the governor award for lifetime artistic achievement. and he had apparently walked out when he heard the heritage minister, in the process of attempting to fend off questions about the affair, attack the idea of income averaging for those employed as artists. “i too strongly express my disappointment,” mr. peterson said, “that the minister of culture at a moment when supposed to be artists in this country chooses to insult them.” and with that just about everyone could now claim to have been disappointed by something that occurred in the past 31 days. * nigel wright and a $90,000 cheque for a sitting senator. rob ford and a video that allegedly shows the mayor of toronto smoking crack. mike duffy, pamela wallin, patrick brazeau, mac harb and questions of housing allowances, travel expenses and per diems. electoral fraud. illegal robocalls. patronage. thomas and an envelope from the mayor of laval. tyrone benskin and his unpaid taxes. an investigation by elections canada frustrated. the parliamentary budget officer frustrated again. a provincial government that ignored the legislature reelected. the has come calling on the senate and the senate has deferred to the. the mayor of chief of staff has been fired and four of the advisors have quit. the prime chief of staff has resigned and two of the prime chosen senators have departed his caucus. there have maybe been a darker day or two or a more singularly profound scandal, but have we ever seen such a sustained onslaught of the dispiriting, troubling and unfortunate in the space of 31 days? have we ever experienced a month like this? perhaps without the most salacious items, this would have amounted to an only slightly worse month than usual. but then maybe that is an even greater indictment of the state of things. if there is anything that those most troubling matters—mr. ford and the video, mr. wright and the cheque, the 2011 election and the inappropriate phone in common it is how little we know about whatever has occurred. has the mayor of toronto smoked crack in the past six months? what were the details of the arrangement between the prime chief of staff and a senator? who was involved in calls that misdirected voters during the last federal election? of the conduct of the mayor of this largest city, the actions of the most senior advisor in this highest office and the proceedings of our last national exercise in representative democracy, we are left to guess at the particulars. and in the absence of clarity there can only be insecurity. * on the evening of april 21, 2005, paul martin addressed the nation on the matter of the sponsorship great shame that would rightly bring an end to that liberal government nine months later. after the prime minister had pleaded his case for the camera, the leader of the her official opposition spoke with the host of the national nightly news. “i’m frustrated by the lack of forthrightness,” stephen harper explained. “when under the kind of cloud the prime minister admits his government is under i think you would use every opportunity to be as forthright as possible.” eight years and one month later, on the evening of may 23, mr. harper spoke to reporters who had travelled with him to cali, colombia. the first question was perhaps a bit presumptuous, but still basically the question of the moment. “prime minister, if you know what the terms of the agreement were between mr. wright and senator duffy before, you do now,” the reporter posited. “so what were the terms of the agreement, and in both official languages, if you could?” “well, i think mr. wright has been very clear,” mr. harper offered in response, “and i think been very clear. mr. wright gave mr. duffy money so that what he felt that the right thing should be done, that mr. duffy should repay the money he owes taxpayers. my understanding. obviously mr. wright will be answering to the ethics commissioner on the propriety of those actions. at the same time, as you know, mr. wright has departed my office because he did not inform me of these actions, and should have.” a few questions later, another reporter attempted to follow up. “thank you, in answer to the first question, you said that the deal between mr. wright and mr. duffy was very simple, that it was just giving duffy money to pay back the expenses,” the reporter recalled. “there’s a great deal that suggests it was more than that, including the fact that lawyers were involved in drawing up the agreement. will you commit to disclosing that agreement?” mr. harper pleaded ignorance. “i’m not aware of any formal agreement on this. mr. wright has told me that this was the nature of his actions. obviously he will be answering to the ethics commissioner on those facts and on the appropriateness of those actions.” it is tempting here to pile up more the arrangement between mr. duffy and mr. wright, about the allegations of what mr. duffy was promised and what he was ordered to do, about the prime use here of the word “formal” in referring to possibility of an agreement. but only recall mr. standard for mr. martin and pose this question: with these answers, was the prime minister being forthright? it is possible to argue he was. it is the assurance of his office that the prime minister is aware only of the details of the arrangement between mr. wright and mr. duffy cited in his first response: that mr. wright provided personal funds to mr. duffy so that mr. duffy could repay the money he owed the senate. so maybe here the prime minister has been forthright. it is an unfortunate possibility then—if, say, the allegations about various other details of the arrangement between the chief of staff and the senator are at all the prime minister is not fully aware of what has occurred within his office. and that likely thus begs the question of what precisely the prime minister has done over the last two weeks to ascertain all of the details of whatever was occurring within his office. forthrightness would seem to involve him explaining both how he has attempted to educate himself and whatever else he might know that might provide potential context to whatever occurred between mr. wright and mr. duffy. while we wait for mr. wright and mr. duffy to unburden themselves and for the various authorities to decide if there is anything here that requires their intervention, the prime minister might at least give us that. (he might also provide any relevant correspondence or documents in the possession of his office.) by comparison, the matter of rob ford and the video purported to show him smoking crack is relatively simple: the failure to account for himself, and that he has let his refusal to account for himself overtake his administration, is a dereliction of duty. no politician should be asked to account publicly for all moments of his or her life, but of a matter this serious it is simply not acceptable that the mayor would leave voters to parse the tense of a statement like, “i do not use crack cocaine.” if the standard is forthrightness, mr. ford has failed miserably. thirdly then is the matter of the “open sore, weeping steadily into the political environment,” as colby put it the other day. forthrightness would seem to have to involve the prime minister, as leader of his party, explaining everything he and his party have done during the past two years to understand what occurred during the 2011 election and to ensure his resources are never used for improper purposes. we should have every reason to believe that the next election will be conducted without widespread chicanery. *** of course, if forthrightness were to be offered now it might seem truly foreign sound to our ears. as a profession, politics is, of course, about differing visions and versions. and any comment on the current state of things is complicated by comparisons that beg to be made: it always thus? has it really gotten any worse? it, in some ways, only gotten better? but here is another question: can we say that we conduct our politics in a sufficiently forthright manner? maybe the answer to that question can only ever be no. maybe we should only ever demand more and more. but consider how poorly we fare now. how little we seem to be able to know. how unable our politicians seem to be to have a conversation about much of anything. how unwilling we seem to be to hear anything more than that our taxes will be lowered. the primary method of communication is publicly funded television ads that offer little more than resource development,” “jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.” the access to information system remains a mess. we know relatively little about how the government plans to balance the federal budget. presumably, the consolidation of the computer systems will solve most of the shortfall. the government introduced a parliamentary budget officer, but seems reluctant to cooperate with it. elsewhere there is mostly nonsense. the debate over resource development and climate change is mostly about the patriotic quality of the keystone pipeline, the degree to which a carbon tax might destroy everything you hold dear and whether or not you approve of jobs. the issue of further reducing crime apparently depends on whether you side with criminals or the law-abiding. (is there an alternative approach to which to aspire? it is difficult to say. the new democrats seem to have learned some lessons from conservative success. justin promise remains a fuzzy dream.) our political representatives might not actually think we are idiots, but they would seem to understand that we are not paying terribly close attention and comport themselves accordingly. the talking point has made an ability to discuss mostly unnecessary. a willingness to discuss is basically to be discouraged. if explaining, losing. at the very least, we would not seem generally interested in much of a discussion. it is now maybe less an exercise in humanity than a matter of marketing: a battle between pitchmen, a contest of commercial mascots. twas ever thus, perhaps. but while the free flow of information and expression has seemed to become something we prize as one of the principles of our era, our politicians have made message control their preeminent hallmark of competence. and perhaps that is not an entirely unworthy goal, but now, in these moments of crisis, our political actors seem incapable of reacting sufficiently. mr. ford is now nearly a walking satire of modern politics: about lower taxes even as nearly everything else about the governance of the city of toronto seems to be chaos. at some point such grousing about the present becomes a pointless plea that someone should do something to make things somehow better. none of this is to pine unrealistically for some fantasy. at least not without realizing how silly that is. it is surely not all bad right now. and each of these controversies will pass, one way or another. but, in general, we seem to have a communication problem and the makings of a downward spiral. these reasons to doubt the integrity of our politics require, for the sake of our politics, answers. there cannot only ever be more reasons to dismiss the possibilities of the political. that way only leads to further crisis. mr. harper was correct. what we need is forthrightness. perhaps even in the hope that a general expectation of forthrightness might prevent future calamities from occurring. so politician, explain thyself. and let us understand that we deserve whatever befalls us if we do not demand as much.	brɛnt ˈræθgɪbər, ðə tɔl, ˈnərdi kənˈsərvətɪv wɪθ ə blɔg hæd əˈpɛrəntli bɪn koʊkst ˈjɛstərˌdeɪ tɪ wən əv ðə haʊs θri

greensboro, n.c. democrats are in the midst of an all-out blitz to turn out the early vote, hoping to bank enough votes to overwhelm donald trump even before the polls open on election day. nowhere is the urgency more apparent than in north carolina, where, thanks in part to restrictions on early voting enacted by the republican legislature, democrats hold a lead in ballots cast so far but are running behind their 2012 pace. story continued below in places that are home to significant african-american populations, like guilford county and forsyth county, democrats are still smarting from legislative changes that significantly restricted the number of polling sites available for the duration of early voting a method frequently utilized by minority voters. guilford county alone went from 16 polling sites available for the entire period in 2012 to only one location open for the first week of 2016 and even that site was not open on the first weekend of early voting. bill clinton rallied here sunday with local democrats including state sen. gladys robinson to sound the alarm about the importance of casting early ballots in a state that is essential to trump's path to victory. “i get upset when i see that as many of you have turned to the polls as we did a couple years ago,” admonished robinson, an african-american democrat from the area, as she warmed up for the former president. “we have to get to the polls. we have to take everybody with us.” her urgent plea amplified minutes later by the former president is a recognition of the headwinds north carolina democrats are facing, four years after mitt romney narrowly carried the state and after the number of early voting locations was reduced. as of saturday, only 37 percent of the total number of democrats who voted early in guilford county in 2012 had done so in 2016, though that number was expected to tick up some as full numbers trickled in, and as the state holds more expanded hours this week. “for guilford and forsyth, particularly with guilford, the issue is, can they get at least some makeup of where been behind due to the early voting changes?” asked michael bitzer, an expert on the early vote at north catawba college, who provided those comparisons to 2012. that’s why democrats are feeling the pressure this week to at least close the gap with their 2012 performance before early voting, which tends to benefit their party, ends on saturday and republicans move to run up the score on election day. “this is a critical time because this is the preferred method of voting for democrats,” said michael mcdonald, an expert on the early vote who runs the u.s. elections project. “they are certainly mounting up a lead in the early vote. just, is that lead going to be good enough?” according to analysis, democrats are steadily closing on their 2012 performance, and “on the trajectory on, if they keep gaining ground as they are, they should meet or exceed their 2012 levels by the end of the week.” but a significant piece of that effort hinges on african-american turnout in the final days of early voting. on sunday a day on which african-americans tend to vote in big numbers as a result of “souls to the polls” efforts that encourage churchgoers to head to the ballot box after services democrats made a major push to close the deficit, and there are signs they made some progress. “it was a big day for the democrats,” mcdonald said. “without a doubt. percent of people who voted were democrats, percent were african-americans and they did make up some ground. there were democrats over their 2012 number.” democrats are now ahead of republicans by percent in the early vote, he said, but it may not be enough: republicans are their own 2012 numbers. "until they actually exceed 2012 numbers," mcdonald said of democrats, "i think they're going to be very nervous about where they're sitting with early voting in north carolina." "republicans tend to win on election day," said dallas woodhouse, executive director of the north carolina republican party, in a recent interview. still, the hillary clinton campaign stresses that turnout is on the upswing for democrats now that more polling sites have opened. they cite data from the north carolina board of elections showing that democratic turnout, and particularly black turnout, has expanded at a rapid clip since more polling sites were added last thursday, noting that in guilford, 549 african-americans voted last wednesday, but did so on thursday. one north carolina democratic operative working on several races in the state expressed confidence that the clinton campaign would close the gap with 2012 african-american turnout, saying that on sunday, about 32 percent of votes cast were from african-americans, but the total share of the african-american vote is expected to be only around 22 percent. "i think the numbers are really catching up," the operative said. "obviously, a lot of that started thursday, friday, sunday voting, we're continuing to see a huge push in a lot more traditional african-american communities for folks continuing voting this week." over the next week, both president barack obama and vice president joe biden are expected to campaign in north carolina, building on visits from bill clinton, first lady michelle obama, and hillary clinton and her running mate, tim kaine, who have all been in the state in the past week or so. the clinton campaign has also launched aggressive advertising campaigns on african-american radio stations and in black newspapers, in addition to its extensive outreach efforts at churches and historically black colleges. a clinton adviser stressed that a robust surrogate operation would continue in the african-american communities through election day, even though no early voting is allowed next sunday. “while early voting does conclude on [nov.] 5, on the final sunday we do plan to have some major events geared toward the african-american community in order to drum up enthusiasm for [election day voting],” said the clinton adviser. added bitzer, “it is critical to get black votes out for democrats to remain competitive this year, but the number of days to target on this population is growing smaller, and that will mean much more energy and attention for election day.” this past sunday set the tone for the final push in the african-american community, and clear that early voting is still the emphasis. bill clinton started his sunday with a visit to a black church, where he talked up the importance of “souls to the polls” the last sunday, according to state rules, on which voting would be allowed. he reiterated that message in front of the greensboro crowd later in the day. “no state has been a battleground for how to define the future of this country more than north carolina,” he said. “this is the last sunday of early voting. a lot of people fought for that.” the sense that voting opportunities were under threat in north carolina permeated several polling stations in heavily african-american neighborhoods across the state, with a number of voters pointing to restrictions on early voting times as a motivator for turning out. “that’s one of the driving forces for me,” said derrick holland, a minister who had participated in a “souls to the polls” march to a greensboro polling station from his church where he said the rev. jesse jackson, a democratic civil rights activist, had made a speech earlier in the day. “it’s something that was fought for for so long. now people are trying to take that away from us. i think fair.” he and his wife voted for hillary clinton. an hour away, in raleigh, a steady stream of voters flowed into the chavis community center, which served as a recreational haven for african-americans during segregation and remains a pillar of the community. some republicans wanted to eliminate the site as an early voting station, a decision that was ultimately blocked in a bipartisan fashion. now, it has become so central to democratic early voting efforts that hillary clinton stopped by two sundays ago. efforts to remove chavis from early voting options “was part of the suppression, more than anything else,” said rep. rosa gill, a democrat who represents the area and was in attendance on sunday. “it’s heavily african-american. i think it was part of the voter suppression.” wake county, home to raleigh, has been a brighter spot for democratic early vote performance in part due to nine early voting locations that opened two weeks ago and another 11 that opened thursday. the county is crucial to democratic prospects it is the county in the state, and democrats must run up big numbers there in order to compensate for the redder rural areas. as of saturday night, 54 percent of wake 2012 early total was already in, according to calculations, and that number was expected to climb. heavily democratic mecklenburg county, the biggest in the state, he said, was also showing signs of strength for democrats. back in greensboro on sunday afternoon, as another clinton organizer warmed up the crowd for bill clinton, he spelled out the stakes of the next five days. “if we ensure every single registered democrat in guilford county gets out to vote,” the organizer said, “we can win this election this

the good people over at good jobs first have published the second in their series on corporate tax subsidies and incentives,." the justification frequently put forth when a company comes asking for these tax breaks is that it creates jobs. not just jobs, but jobs that pay better. the study shows that, as robert oak writes , 43 percent of these breaks are not job creators but "glorified corporate welfare." translate that into cash and it comes out to $8 billion a year. good jobs first looked at 238 programs in the 50 states and the district of columbia. included in these programs are corporate income tax credits (for job creation, capital investment, research and development), cash grants, or forgivable loans, enterprise zones, reimbursement for expenses and other state assistance. each program was rated (1 to 100) on three primary criteria (and some derivative qualities): whether they require recipient companies to meet job quantifiable performance standards; whether the subsidized companies pay their workers above a certain wage level; and whether the companies provide their workers coverage or other benefits. some of the conclusions: • of the 238 programs, 103, totaling $7 billion in annual incentives/subsidies, had no standards. • only 98 of the programs impose a wage requirement on subsidized employers and only 53 of those are tied to labor market rates. • only 11 (5 percent) of those wage requirements raise wage levels by mandating rates that are slightly above existing market average in a region or industrial sector. • the average of the wage requirements is $14.76 an hour; the median is $11.82. in some cases, wage requirements are set below market levels. • the programs without wage billion a so little in some cases that workers hired by these companies must depend on food stamps, medicaid and other public assistance to survive. • only 51 of the programs require the subsidized companies to make some kind of benefit available, and only 31 require that the company pay part of the premium. • grades for the states with these programs vary widely. the average nationwide was 40. the best were nevada (82), north carolina (79), vermont (77), iowa (70), maryland (68) and oklahoma (66). the worst were the district of columbia (4), alaska (5), wyoming (10), oregon (13), washington (18) and (19). if you click on the link, you'll find a score for each state. good jobs first makes sensible recommendations. programs should all have quantifiable standards. they should have wage requirements designed to lift prevailing wages, not tied to a fixed level or the poverty rate. companies should not be allowed to shift existing jobs from other facilities to qualify for the subsidies/incentives. the programs should require the companies to provide a package of benefits, including coverage. wages and benefits should apply to part-time and temporary as well as full-time, permanent workers. but that's only part of what needs to be done in the current economic climate. as oak says: one has to wonder why is it legislators these days can give subsidies, corporate welfare, outsource major functions of government, privatize everything not nailed down (and that too), and no one blinks an eye. yet if governments attempt to run their own direct job programs, plain create jobs directly, all alarm bells ring as if the nation is on fire. perhaps that too is due to corporate lobbyists. last thing they want is to be shut out as the great middle men to the economic and job flood gates. surely a government run direct jobs program is more efficient than this. in fact, direct jobs programs ought to have been set up long ago. good luck with that one. that's pouring money down the rat hole, while giveaways to companies who don't do squat to provide jobs is good for business.	ðə gʊd ˈpipəl ˈoʊvər æt gʊd ʤɑbz fərst hæv ˈpəblɪʃt ðə ˈsɛkənd ɪn ðɛr ˈsɪriz ɔn ˈkɔrpərət tæks ˈsəbsɪdiz ənd ˌɪnˈsɪnɪvz,." ðə ˌʤəstəfəˈkeɪʃən ˈfrikwɛntli pʊt fɔrθ wɪn ə ˈkəmpəˌni kəmz ˈæskɪŋ fər ðiz tæks breɪks ɪz ðət ɪt kriˈeɪts ʤɑbz. nɑt ʤɪst ʤɑbz, bət ʤɑbz ðət peɪ ˈbɛtər. ðə ˈstədi ʃoʊz ðət, ɛz ˈrɑbərt oʊk raɪts 43 pərˈsɛnt əv ðiz breɪks ər nɑt ʤɑb kriˈeɪtərz bət "ˈglɔrəˌfaɪd ˈkɔrpərət ˈwɛlˌfɛr." trænzˈleɪt ðət ˈɪntu kæʃ ənd ɪt kəmz aʊt tɪ 8 ˈbɪljən ə jɪr. gʊd ʤɑbz fərst lʊkt æt 238 ˈproʊˌgræmz ɪn ðə 50 steɪts ənd ðə ˈdɪstrɪkt əv kəˈləmbiə. ˌɪnˈkludɪd ɪn ðiz ˈproʊˌgræmz ər ˈkɔrpərət ˈɪnˌkəm tæks ˈkrɛdɪts (fər ʤɑb kriˈeɪʃən, ˈkæpɪtəl ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt, ˈrisərʧ ənd dɪˈvɛləpmənt), kæʃ grænts, ər fərˈgɪvəbəl loʊnz, ˈɛnərˌpraɪz zoʊnz, ˌriɪmˈbərsmənt fər ɪkˈspɛnsɪz ənd ˈəðər steɪt əˈsɪstəns. iʧ ˈproʊˌgræm wɑz ˈreɪtɪd 1 tɪ 100 ɔn θri ˈpraɪˌmɛri kraɪˈtɪriə (ənd səm dərˈɪvɪtɪv kˈwɑlətiz): ˈwɛðər ðeɪ ˌrikˈwaɪər rɪˈsɪpiənt ˈkəmpəˌniz tɪ mit ʤɑb kˌwɑntɪˈfaɪəbɛl pərˈfɔrməns ˈstændərdz;
