8th Sin
Sinners Inc
Black Lodge
8/4/2006 - Review by: Anthony Burke
Fallen into the cliché of this genre
The band on the same label that houses Hellfueled, Sabaton, and other Swedish powerhouses, this should be enjoyable.
The band from Stockholm Sweden are comprise of IT (vocals), Michael (guitar), Y (guitar), Johan (bass), and TG (drums). The start date of 8th Sin is unclear, but the one thing that is clear is that 8th Sin as of today, started out as a fun endeavor for Michael Bohlin (producer) in his studio in Stockholm in 2000. With a magnitude of years and productions under his belt, Bohlin set out to find a partner in crime. He asked his longtime friend Tony Särkkä (better known as IT) to join the project. IT had dropped music like a bad habit, but the idea that Bohlin presented did spark an interest, thus 8th Sin was born. Eight years later (IT had a similar idea 4 years before Bohlin did)their debut album with their first songs was released. IT has 13 albums accredited to him during his earlier musical career. Abruptum, Ophthalamia, Vondur, and War (with Peter Tägtgren of Hypocrisy) just to name a few.
From the opening bell, this album is laced with plenty of electronica, something that is all too common in industrial music. Another thing that has become cliché in this genre is heavy riffing, darker vocals, and distortion. All eleven tracks fit this exact mold. For a project of such differences, they have fallen into the cliché of this genre.
We essentially have a failed experiment. IT seems to be well known in the black metal community, but he screwed up any chance at a respectable comeback when this project left the minds and became a reality. Everything points to a glorified techno/rave album. I have long since outgrown that phase, now (SH) IT needs to follow suit. Any fan of Rob Zombie, industrial (Nine Inch Nails) or just techno in general may find something worthy about this, but as for me, I can't.
Rating: there are 7 deadly sins, well now there are 8. The 8th Sin being, thou shall not listen to this album.

The average Californian's taxes would shoot up five different ways in the state budget blueprint that lawmakers hope to vote on this weekend. But the bipartisan plan for wiping out the state's giant deficit isn't so bad for large corporations, many of which would receive a permanent windfall.
About $1 billion in corporate tax breaks -- directed mostly at multi-state and multinational companies -- is tucked into the proposal. Opponents say the breaks will do nothing to create jobs, and the Legislature has rejected such moves repeatedly in the past. But now, to secure enough Republican votes to pass a budget that would raise taxes on everyone else, the Legislature is poised to write them into law with no public hearings at a time when the state treasury is almost out of cash.
The tax breaks were inserted into the spending plan during private meetings between legislative leaders and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Less than 24 hours before today's scheduled vote, the proposals had not yet been printed in bills and made available to the public, but legislative leaders acknowledged them.
Most of the cost to the state -- or $690 million -- would come from changes in the way corporate taxes are computed, lowering the amount owed by many large companies. Smaller tax breaks are included for Hollywood production companies and small businesses that hire new employees.
"This is a pure giveaway for the vast majority of corporations that will benefit," said Lenny Goldberg, executive director of the California Tax Reform Assn., a union-backed nonprofit. "They will walk away with a great deal of money at everybody else's expense."
GOP lawmakers, aided by a small group of Democrats, have been pushing the tax breaks for years, along with such companies as NBC Universal, Genentech and Intel, as well as the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Taxpayers Assn. They say the breaks are an incentive for businesses to expand operations in California -- or at least not to leave.
The lawmakers have previously sought unsuccessfully to leverage their votes on a state budget, which can pass only with a two-thirds majority, for the tax breaks. This year they had more leverage, because the compromise requires them to support $14 billion in temporary tax hikes on average Californians, something they had vowed never to do.
Those tax hikes will force most California adults to pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more each year in a combination of higher vehicle license fees, sales taxes, gasoline taxes and income taxes. Dependent-care credits claimed by millions of families would be cut by about $200 annually. The increased taxes would remain in effect for two to four years.
Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher (R-San Diego), said the proposed corporate tax breaks are intended to keep the recession from spiraling deeper in California while unemployment is soaring.
"We have a tax code that incentivizes moving jobs out of the state," he said. "It only makes sense to change that. . . . We want to be a state that welcomes job creation. The benefits of this will be substantial."
Under the proposed changes, companies would no longer be required to pay state taxes based on a formula that includes the size of their workforce, the amount of property they own and their total California sales. Instead, they could pay based on total state sales alone. The idea, supporters say, is to stop penalizing companies for expanding their workforces and building new facilities in California. Under current law, the companies' state tax bills grow when they do those things.
Supporters note that Genentech and Intel, two big California companies, have both built major facilities out of state, citing California's tax policy as a reason.
"We need to be able to compete more effectively with other states," said Jim Hawley, senior vice president at TechNet, a coalition of high-tech executives.
He said that in California the technology industry has been far slower to rebound from the dot-com bust earlier this decade than it has in states that have made the changes lawmakers are considering.
But a study by the Center on Budget Policy Priorities, a Washington, D.C., think tank, concluded that the cost of the tax break has far outweighed the job-creation benefits in states where it has been instituted. The center researches how tax policies affect low-income Americans. The study said many companies were using the tax formula to lower their tax bills without doing anything they wouldn't normally do to create new jobs.
Other experts have said the change could also mean that companies that put a heavy burden on -- and extract substantial benefit from -- state services won't be paying their full share for them.
A study by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, released in 2005, found that most companies decide where to locate based not on tax breaks but on factors such as the availability of a highly educated workforce. California's proposed plan would cut spending on higher education by hundreds of millions of dollars.
The $690-million tax break would be embedded in state law permanently. The other breaks would expire after two years.
The break for small businesses that hire new employees would cost the state $200 million a year. It would provide a $3,000 tax credit for every full-time employee hired by a company with 20 or fewer workers. Republican lawmakers who pushed for the proposal said it would create jobs.
Some activists called the proposals a giveaway. They argue that $3,000 is not nearly enough incentive for a company to hire a worker it would not otherwise hire. The Obama administration eliminated a similar credit from its federal stimulus proposal for that reason.
"Businesses are not making hiring decisions based on these credits," said Jean Ross, executive director of the nonprofit California Budget Project, which monitors how fiscal policies affect working families.
The tax credit for film companies is intended to keep productions from moving out of state. It would deprive state coffers of $100 million a year. Schwarzenegger has been pushing it for years alongside some powerful Democrats from Los Angeles, where much of the film industry is based.
Proponents say California is losing industry jobs to states that offer such incentives. In the past, a majority of lawmakers have characterized it as a handout to a lucrative industry that already receives substantial tax benefits.
Said Senate leader Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) of the overall fiscal agreement: "A budget solution of this magnitude contains a lot of compromises."

Duke Energy Hosts Public Meeting March 12 For Hillsdale Windpower Project
Duke Energy Renewables is hosting a public information day Saturday March 12 to answer questions about its proposed $160 million Hillsdale Windpower Project that would generate 100-megawatts of electrical power over 12,000 acres in Reading, Cambria and Allen Townships, enough to power 30,000 homes.
The event will take place from 1 to 5 pm at Reading Elementary School. It will be similar to another public information day Duke Energy produced two months ago in Benzie County, where Duke is proposing the Gail Windpower Project, a $360 million network of wind turbines that could generate 200 megawatts of renewable electric power.
Duke Energy Renewables, a commercial business unit of Duke Energy based in Charlotte, North Carolina, filed both wind farm proposals in February with DTE Energy. If Duke gets a long-term power contract from DTE later this year, the company would plug the Hillsdale project into the electric grid in 2012, and the Gail project in 2013.
The informational meetings are meant to allay local residents concerns about wind turbines. Those concerns include excessive noise, bird kill by the blades, the shadow of the blades flickering across homes, and a decrease in land values. In January, Reading Township issued a six-month moratorium on issuing zoning permits to build the nearly 500-foot tall towers to review these concerns and write the appropriate zoning regulations.
"This project is pretty far along," said Trisha Elizondo, Project Manager for Energy Renewable Partners. "We've been looking at this site for several years. We've collected almost two years of wind data for the site. It's a very good site for wind energy."
Elizondo said up to 44 of these 2.2 megawatt wind turbines would be built over about 10,000 acres. Some 10 to 20 percent of those turbines would be built by Northern Power Systems at its new factory in Saginaw, Elizondo said. The remainder would be supplied by Siemens.
"We have 85 percent of the land owners, about 8500 acres, under contract," she said. "The Hillsdale Windpower Project would generate $25 million in tax revenue over the life of the project. It would also generate 10 to 15 full-time maintenance and 150 construction jobs."
If you want to learn more, come to the open house at Reynolds Elementary School Gymnasium, 301 Chestnut St., Reading, from 1 – 5 pm Saturday.

Apple's Self Service Repair launches in Europe
William Gallagher | Dec 06, 2022
Apple's Self Service Repair is now available in eight European countries, with tools for common repairs on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 ranges, plus Apple Silicon Macs.
First launched in April 2022 in the US for iPhones, certain Macs were added in August 2022. Now Apple has announced that the program is available in selected countries across Europe:
"We believe the best technology for our customers and for the planet is technology that lasts," Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer, said in a statement, "which is why we design our products to be durable and rarely require maintenance or repair."
"But when a repair is needed, we want customers to have many options for safe, reliable, and secure repair," he continued. "That's why we're excited to launch Self Service Repair in Europe, giving our customers direct access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and manuals."
Users in the EU countries can now buy or rent tools and parts to perform "many of the most common repairs" for:
iPhone 12 range
13-inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
14-inch MacBook Pro (2021)
Apple says that the Self Service Repair Store includes over 200 parts and tools, plus manuals. It notes that the parts are the same ones, and provided at the same price, through this service as they are to authorized repair providers.
The service appears to be rolling out across the EU countries, as at present the Self Service Repair Store is still listing prices in dollars, and a country dropdown is solely listing the US. Apple's own announcement says the company "will offer tool rental kits for $49," with no details of local currencies.
Apple's Self Service Repair program was launched ahead of mounting pressure for technology firms to address Right to Repair. Advocates of Right to Repair say they are not sold on Apple's program, but it is seen as a step in the right direction.

The kit should come with a team of oompa loompas to do the work, too.
lkrupp
I guess the right-to-repair crowd wants stuff to be easy enough for a hotel maid to disassemble and repair. When Apple came out with these reapir kits the guffawing was loud and cynical.
"Advocates of Right to Repair say they are not sold on Apple's program, but it is seen as a step in the right direction."
And they never will be. Just like climate change advocates will never be satisfied with anything governments do either. Because if they were they'd have no reason to exist anymore.
elijahg
Ah you're a climate change denier too. That figures.
£46 for a genuine Apple battery, that's surprisingly good. Much cheaper than taking it to an Apple Store. I'll definitely be using this in the future. Nice job Apple.

Q: Is "appeal" the correct word in "Without appeal to the C-principle" Is 'appeal' the correct word in:

Method A solves Problem B without appeal to the C-principle.

This sentence tries to say that there is an obvious solution to Problem B that can be found using a very general principle C, but method A is actually a more specialized method tailored to Problem B that is found without using the general solution principle C.
I feel like I am confusing 'appeal' with the similar sounding correct word, since I do know of usages of 'appeal to' that are different from the one I intend (e.g. 'it had no appeal to him').
I couldn't find my intended usage in dictionary entries for 'appeal'

A: It is correct but I would prefer "without appealing to the C-principle".
See for example a stack exchange answer

Of course, there are certain specific instances where one can do this without appealing to the Axiom of Choice:

*

*if you only have to make finitely many choices; or

*if these choices can be made in a uniform manner

A: You say you might be confusing appeal with a similar-sounding word. I'm guessing that word is apply:

Method A solves Problem B without applying the C-principle.

Here, apply would mean:

apply (verb) To put to use; to use or employ for a particular purpose

Macmillan defines it as:

apply (verb)  to use a particular method, process, law, etc.

House of the Winds
Artwork: House of the Winds
Artist: Sissel Tolaas
Municipality: Alstahaug municipality
In the project description for The House of Winds, Sissel Tolaas says that she wanted to choose a geographic site in Alstadhaug where the weather conditions would be at their most extreme. She wanted to create a work of art which, while using the elements, would itself be used by them.
The House of Winds reminds us of anonymous laboratories, functional places for scientific research. The propellers placed in the openings in the walls of the round building rotate at the speed of the wind. The movement created by the wind energy, the Latin inscriptions of the names of the winds, together with the points of compass, lead us into a field of references where the categorising systems of science are applied in artistic expression. Science and scientific thinking meet the endeavour of art to make things beautiful, visible and concretely present in our lives.

Situations of Paintings (Text Fragments):
François Arago and his Speech
Instagram Part One
The Handheld Vermeer
This project started out in the paper I wrote at the end of my BA (Hons) in Fine Art. I have decided to upload the paper in the format of the separate fragments it was written in. They will be uploaded to this page every couple of weeks. This allows me to have a space to publish the texts along with more fragments that are to be written in the future.
These fragments will aim to outline and dissect certain situations in which paintings can and have been known to exist in. The form of written fragments allows for a truth or situation to be diagnosed within specific descriptions, narratives and vocabularies that speak for their own ideas, concepts and references. And whilst being formed and discursive as separate entities from one another, they can still be collectively representative of this overall discussion regarding the position of painting in society. The word 'terse' is quite often used when discussing fragments; a sparing use of words, language and direct perspectives to discuss a subject. This is very relevant to the process of creating a painting, in correspondence to examining the specific, decisional moments that pull together a certain picture, these can be considered fragmented themselves. Whether abstract or figurative, the process of painting is both decisive and critical during the manifestation of its contents; what is to be included and what is not.
'Finished' individual paintings can then be viewed as fragments themselves. They have very specific contents, ideologies and histories within them; they hold their own actuality as they diagnose particular subjects and concepts in their own diverse aesthetics and ideas. This fragmented form of writing will be acting inside this topic as individual paintings do within the ever-present and inevitable perspectives and histories that exist alongside any discussion concerning the act and existence of painting.
Fragments (as in painting and in writing), once they accumulate and build upon each other in their certain formats, their comparisons, juxtapositions and perspectives tend to form new readings and conversations that open up more questions and perspectives that can be applied to other different contexts and readings of certain situations.
Painting has more variations in its visual format than ever before in our contemporary society and its involvement with society is very careful and unique, this is because of its rarity. Paintings were once the only known form of imagery and pictures there could be; whereas today, they exist alongside and within a diverse majority of other forms of imagery: printed, digital, virtual and moving, to name a few. So rather than discussing and critiquing painting purely in the traditional sense (its contents and various formalities), the discussion will be centred on the lifetime of certain paintings; how they exist before and after their conception, amongst and within other forms of imagery and contexts in today's society.
I am personifying the existence of paintings as a form of life because of the extravagant range of narratives and reactions they create amongst people in society. They emotionally effect people by delivering empathy, mystery, metaphor and sublimity to the viewers they encapsulate. Made by humans for humans, the technique and time spent making a painting is incredibly personal to the painter; painting itself can very much be seen as an embodiment of life-force.
This study is required in our critical understanding of paintings, because of the numerous situations within which we come across paintings in this current time. Whether an artist, a critic, a cynic, a romantic or a person of ambivalence, paintings are a form of imagery and make their way in and out of people's lives in many different ways. From Art galleries to private collections, from televisions to social networks and from reproductions to stories of complete destruction.
These situations can be so unique and potentially transformative for the viewer's interpretations and critiques of painting, that they should be seen as equally paramount and imperative in discussion about a painting as its content.

We love living in NEW ORLEANS as there is always something around here to celebrate. On top of the normal fun and festivities, this year is the City of New Orleans' TRICENTENNIAL, and 300 Birthdays is certainly a mark worth celebrating.
But 2018 is also a special year for ADEETA. On May 26, 2018, we celebrate our 20th BIRTHDAY. (It's not quite as impressive as 300, but in business years, it's an awfully good sign.) That means we have had the honor and the privilege of serving the great people of this community for TWENTY WHOLE YEARS. We have put thousands and thousands of people to work and have helped hundreds and hundreds of companies hire top talent. They say that there is "joy in serving others", and with 20 years of doing just that, we can attest that it is absolutely true.
On May 1st we kicked off our BIRTHDAY BASH #20for20 by participating in GiveNOLA Day. We made 20 donations to 20 great local non-profits, many of which have been valued clients of ours over the years. We figured GIVING would be the best way to kick things off. During our #20for20, we plan to GIVE, GET and DO 20 special things throughout the remainder of 2018 as a way of CELEBRATING our accomplishments and saying THANKS to the many people who have helped us reach this amazing milestone.
There is much more CELEBRATING to come and we hope to "BASH" into you along the way.
Happy Birthday NEW ORLEANS & ADEETA – Let the BIRTHDAY BASHIN' BEGIN!!
CELEBRATING NEW ORLEANS in the summertime!
CELEBRATING NEW ORLEANS in 2018 – Happy 300th Birthday, NOLA!


For simple and classical, but still big and exciting arrangements without all of the distraction of flashy, blustering vases, keep the focus on your fresh flowers with Wide Cylinder Vases. Fill the vase about three-fourths of the way full (this may change depending on what flowers are in your arrangement), cut your flowers at an angle, and place them in the vase for a perfect centerpiece at your event. The style and shape may be simple, but the size offers incredible possibilities for gorgeous, vast bouquets to get that special look on your special day.


Bad builders complain. Good builders shut up play the game.
Building a new house means knowing a good builder from a bad builder. In the current building industry that means separating complainers from those who shut up and play the game.
I can tell you right now this blog isn't going to go over very well with some builders. Others will enjoy it; they'll laugh and nod because they'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Others will also laugh, not realizing I'm talking about them.
I spend a lot of time thinking about builders, what makes a good builder and what makes a bad one. After hearing so many "speak amongst themselves" in various meetings and networks, I've come to the conclusion that big builder, small builder, green builder, etc. doesn't matter. Accountability is what matters. Sadly, listening to builders talk, I've also come to the conclusion that accountability is sorely lacking in the home building industry today. When business was so good a few years ago it seemed accountability quietly crept out the door. Buyers bought with abandon, certain they would sell at a nice profit long before anything in the house began to fail. It was a recipe for disaster.
Pondering all of this recently, I was reminded of an experience from my young adulthood that bears a lesson for both buyers and builders….

Franklin High School Steals the Show at Mock Trial
March 19, 2017 Editor	1 Comment
by Felice Cat-Tuong Luu
Smiles on, nerves rattling, the Franklin High School (FHS) varsity mock trial team stood in a pre-game huddle. T-minus five minutes until show time and teammates checked each other's uniforms, making sure they looked the part while their coach gave a few words of encouragement. The hours they poured into looking crisp, clean, and confident showed.
Last weekend, all three FHS teams advanced to semifinals and its varsity team continued to sweep the tournament, beating even national champion and cross-town rival Seattle Preparatory School. As one of the top two teams of this year's competitors, Franklin High's varsity team stood ready to face off against Bellevue's International School for the district champion title. In the King County District Courthouse, the court's doors opened Monday night, and both teams walked into their final round at the King County YMCA Mock Trial District Tournament.

South Seattle High School's Highlight Football Classic
September 13, 2014 Editor	Leave a comment
Evoking recollections of the days when fervor for high school football in south and central Seattle was higher than the average city dweller's morning caffeine levels, the First Annual Memorial Football Classic takes place today at Memorial Stadium with both Cleveland and Franklin High Schools participating.
The Classic is the brainchild of South Seattle native and former National Football League player Joey Thomas.
"Having grown up in and around the south end, I have an appreciation for the storied rivalries that once existed between the schools in the area and how that really brought out pride and friendly competition within the community. I thought that the event would provide a wonderful opportunity to rekindle that." Said Thomas, who is currently the head football coach at Ballard High School.
The Classic gets underway today at 12:00pm with Cleveland facing off against Bainbridge, followed by Franklin taking on Garfield at 6:00pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Canelo Álvarez
Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán was born on July 18, 1990, in the outskirts of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He was the youngest of the eight children of his parents. He has six brothers and one sister. He mentioned in an interview that his family originally hails from Los Reyes, Michoacán.
When he was 5 years old, his family shifted to their present home in Juanacatlán, Jalisco. He followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Rigoberto Álvarez, into boxing. All other brothers of Álvarez also forayed into professional boxing. Two of his brothers are welterweight boxers Ramón Álvarez and Ricardo Álvarez.
Álvarez learned horseback riding while growing up. His nickname, "Canelo," is the masculine word for cinnamon in Spanish.

Álvarez ventured into boxing at around 13 years of age and eventually won the silver medal at the 'Junior Mexican National' championships held in 2004 in Sinaloa. He then emerged as the 2005 'Junior Mexican National Boxing' champion. Shortly after this, he turned professional.
From the very beginning of his professional career, Álvarez proved to be a skilled boxer, playing and winning matches one after the other. He won against players such as Miguel Vázquez and Francisco Villanueva but drew against Jorge Juarez. His first professional title win came when he beat Mexican boxer Ricardo Cano to clinch the 'Jalisco' welterweight title on August 31, 2007. He succeeded in retaining the title against Mexican boxer Francisco Villanueva on March 14, 2008.
On April 18, 2008, he won the 'WBA Fedecentro' welterweight title, beating Mexican boxer Gabriel Martinez. He then continued to retain the title, beating Argentinean boxer Carlos Adán Jerez on August 2, 2008, and Colombian boxer Raúl Pinzón on December 5, 2008.
Álvarez continued his winning spree, and on January 17, 2009, he won the 'NABF' and the 'WBO Latino' welterweight titles, defeating Mexican boxer Antonio Fitch. Following this, he beat Dominican Republic boxer Euri González, to retain the 'NABF' and the 'WBO Latino' welterweight titles on February 21, 2009. He then managed to retain the 'NABF' welterweight title on several other occasions, such as in the matches against Brazilian boxer Jefferson Gonçalo (on June 6, 2009) and US boxer Brian Camechis (on March 6, 2010).
Meanwhile, he won the 'WBC Youth' welterweight title, beating Russian boxer Marat Khuzeev on August 8, 2009. He retained the title fighting against Argentinean boxer Carlos Herrera on September 15, 2009.
He added another feather on his cap by winning the 'WBC Silver' light middleweight title against Argentinean boxer Luciano Leonel Cuello on July 10, 2010. He defended the title in a match against former 'WBC' welterweight champion Argentinean boxer Carlos Baldomir (on September 18, 2010) and also against South African boxer Lovemore N'dou, a former world champion (on December 4, 2010).
Following this, he won the vacant 'WBC' light middleweight title, beating 'European Boxing Union' (EBU) welterweight champion British boxer Matthew Hatton on March 5, 2011. He successfully defended the title several times, in matches against British boxer Ryan Rhodes (on June 18, 2011), Mexican boxer Alfonso Gómez (on September 17, 2011), and US boxer Josesito López (on September 15, 2012).
Álvarez then continued to retain the 'WBC' light middleweight title and won the 'WBA (Unified)' and the vacant 'The Ring' light middleweight titles, defeating US boxer Austin Trout on April 20, 2013.
On September 14, 2013, Álvarez, rated as the "numero uno" light middleweight and the unified 'WBC/WBA' "regular" champion by 'The Ring' magazine, faced US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. With their respective belts on the line, Álvarez lost the 'WBA (Unified),' the 'WBC,' and 'The Ring' light middleweight titles. This also marked the first loss of Álvarez in his professional career.
The loss, however, could not mar the fighting spirit of Álvarez, who went on to win three bouts against three different boxers before winning 'The Ring,' the lineal, and the vacant 'WBC' middleweight titles against Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto on November 21, 2015. He successfully defended the titles against British boxer Amir Khan on May 7, 2016. Following the fight, he and his team invited middleweight champion Kazakhstan boxer Gennady Golovkin into the ring and promoted a future fight with the latter.
Álvarez vacated the 'WBC' title on May 18, 2016, and it was soon awarded to Golovkin by the 'WBC.' Álvarez then returned to light middleweight, and on September 17, the same year, he defeated British boxer Liam Smith to win the 'WBO' light middleweight title.
On September 16, 2017, a match for the 'WBA (Super),' the 'IBF,' and the vacant lineal middleweight titles between Álvarez and Golovkin ended in a split draw, with the former retaining 'The Ring' middleweight title. Álvarez finally succeeded in beating Golovkin in a close bout on September 15, 2018, thus winning the 'WBA (Super),' the 'WBC,' the vacant 'The Ring,' and the lineal middleweight titles. The fight, however, remained controversial, with the fans, the media, and the boxing pundits disputing the result.
On October 17, 2018, 'DAZN' announced they had signed a 5-year deal worth $365 million with Álvarez, which would see the video streaming service broadcasting the next 11 fights of the boxer in the US. The deal replaced Álvarez's expired contract with 'HBO.' The first match of Álvarez after this deal saw him win the 'WBA (Regular)' super middleweight title against British boxer Rocky Fielding on December 15, 2018.
His next match, with US boxer Daniel Jacobs, held on May 4, 2019, led him to win the 'IBF' middleweight title and retain the 'WBA (Super),' the 'WBC,' 'The Ring,' and the lineal middleweight titles.
An accomplished boxer, Álvarez also promotes the sport in Mexico. He established the company 'Canelo Promotions' in 2010. His trainers, Chepo and Eddy Reynoso, a father–son duo, are his business partners. The company, as of 2013, has represented 40 boxers across Mexico.
He was engaged to Mexican TV personality, actor, and 'Miss Mexico Universe' 2003 Marisol González for a while. Álvarez has a daughter through an ex-girlfriend.

An interview with Spencer & Tye from Out of the Gate, featuring myself and Martin Geddes. We discuss Q's recent absence, the election and other topics.
I just heard from it was great n Chongqing ,China at the Hyatt Regency.
You might like this if you missed it.
Wow!!! If this doesn't open non believers eyes, nothing will. I shared this on FB and Twitter. I cant really afford the book, but I'm ordering it now. Thank you for sharing this!!!
The music was overwhelming…..couldn't focus on the dialogue! Otherwise I love you!
Is it possible that the "Placeholders" are reference points to the upcoming OIG report where in these placeholders become topics that will be addressed by Horwitz's report?
You are right, people are not being kind and are tearing each other apart over not agreeing with each other and I have been guilty of that. Thank you for pointing this out. I think we are all waking up to the horrific corruption in this country and beyond and we are absolutely aghast over this. I don't think anyone much knew how bad it was and we are looking for justice for all those wronged and the hypocrisy of certain people.
Praying Medic, several times during the Obama years when I would pray regarding Mr. Obama the Lord would refer to him as a 'placeholder.' He would say don't worry about him. He is just a placeholder.' I thought the Lord was meaning that Mr.Obama was just holding the spot until something happened or someone else came along, something not significant or relevant. I thought that for years. Then, after the 2016 elections I decided to research 'placeholder' a little further and what I learned was that placeholder was someone who acts on the behalf of another hmmm like a puppet. The puppet is not really relevant except they do what the puppet master wants done. We have a lot of puppets (placeholders) out there.Be concerned about the puppetmaster.
Nancy Drew Yeah, God kept telling me that BO was put in the WH specifically to do the job of the bosses who put him in there. But that they had underestimated the power of the covenant that God made with this country in the beginning and that we 'little insignificant nobodies' were doing the job of Hur and Aaron who held up Moses's arms while he prayed for Joshua to finish his job. The more he terrified us the more we prayed! There were times I literally saw us holding up the hands of our true leaders. Bo's bosses thought they would have the US destroyed in the first 4 years and BO thought he could write his own ticket although that's not what his bosses had in mind for him. Instead he's still around doing the bidding of his bosses from an unexpected position.
I remember, years ago, God telling me one day, 'You think you know everything don't you?' Then I saw everything He had been showing me gathered together in a frame which He moved just a smidge in a different angle. Then He removed the frame. Nothing made any sense to me.
I've learned over the years following my dreams, visions and scriptures to guide me in the shortterm mission trips I've been taking since 1995 that they are to guide me and to inform me of a direction. But they won't necessarily tell me what is going to happen most of the time. I write out the trip paper and send it to our partners and read it on my way to the next destination. Then I just hand it over to God for Him to take it wherever He is going to take it and I go along for the ride.
All of this to explain what I see in the Q drops and the place holders. I find that a lot of times, God will set a carrot in front of me to get my attention, to send me in a specific direction, to get a certain action from me and to take me into my future rightly aligned so as to be a part of the solution and not a hindrance. Either, I'm led to spend more time listening and waiting on Him, watching current events and waiting to see what else is coming or researching, plus taking special care to notice in the directions I'm being led in. And it's also promises of a coming future. That is what I saw when I first saw the place holders and that is what I still see.
Q's drops remind me of how God speaks to me. He always asks questions about the MOST important issues to get my attention, to involve me in the process, to teach me something and to train me to hear and see more clearly. As Q has been saying all along, this isn't just about dropping info on us. It's about raising us up to be able to stand on our own two feet and to think and decide for ourselves. This is as much about training us up to be independent thinkers and doers as it is to bring us into a specific direction. Plus, waiting is a very good thing. It breaks us of presumption and trains us to be more careful and more observant. And in these days and times that is a critical skill.
What is it Q saying sb what is going on right now on sea between Russia and Ukraine?
RE: Sessions, no date on resignation letter. "Sessions re drop 18, 921 and 1318. Wasn't fired. Reassigned.
Whitaker is the placeholder for the next Attorney General.

Riverbluff Church exists to make disciples who make disciples who change the world!
At Riverbluff a "Disciple of Jesus" is devoted to Jesus, and practically seeks to make each day a chance to be with Jesus, to learn from Jesus, and to live the UP, IN, & OUT life of Jesus.
"UP" – A growing relationship with God as my intimate, loving Father from which my identity is securely established.
"IN" – A growing relationship with a group of disciples, intentionally "doing life" as family in a Biblically functioning community and together serving the mission of Jesus.
"OUT" – As a family on mission intentionally developing relationships with pre-Christians by demonstrating and declaring the Gospel of Jesus. Seeking to give them multiple opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the Gospel where they live work and play.
On our journey we've learned that the best context for growing Disciples of Jesus is in a "high invitation—high challenge" environment of intentional relationships that properly balance imitation, information and immersion.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine stated on April 9, 2012 that it will not participate in any way in a new or rearranged Palestinian Authority government under Salam Fayyad. The Front said that any such configuration laks legitimacy, has not been given confidence by the Legislative Council nor does it enjoy a national consensus of national and Islamic forces.
The Front said that any such attempt would only be an obstacle in the path of meaningful national unity and reconciliation and only exacerbate the national crisis. The Front once again reiterated that the Palestinian Authority must cease all forms of security coordination with the occupation.
It said that the governments of the status quo – whether in Gaza or Ramallah – are not sufficient to confront the dangers to the Palestinian people, their land and cause, and urged national unity to confront the occupation and its plans to confiscate Palestinian land and liquidate Palestinian rights.

Sony intros 17-inch VAIO E17 multimedia laptop, will offer the current E14P with a touchscreen
Published on October 12 2012 by accessories
If you cried when Sony discontinued its performance-heavy VAIO F Series, it looks like the company's marketing team heard your complaints: Sony just announced the VAIO E17, the closet thing it's had to a proper multimedia machine since discontinuing the F line. As the name suggests, the E17 (pictured) has a 17-inch panel, which is good news for anyone who's gone shopping for an oversized notebook lately -- there simply aren't that many non-gaming-laptops this size. As befits a system in this class, it has a 1080p screen, and can be configured with a quad-core Core i7 processor and discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics and compact keyboard like the Samsung N Series N145 (White) Keyboard . Meanwhile, Sony also announced that it's going to offer the existing VAIO E14P with a touchscreen -- a $100 upgrade. Look for both of these to land before the end of the month, with the E14P starting at $690 (sans touchscreen) and the E17 going for $730 and up.

Natalie Fernandez and Gabriel Margaca
As we wind down our school year, the Student Council recognizes outstanding students and staff for their contributions to our school. As in the past, our last month honorees are the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Class of 2019 and our retirees. With this class, we have two valedictorians. Their cumulative grade point average is identical. Our Valedictorians of the Class of 2019 will be forever remembered not only for their excellence in the classroom but for their contributions to our school and community. They are outstanding role models.
Our first co-valedictorian is Mr. Gabriel Margaca who finishes with a cumulative grade point average of 4.524. Gabriel Margaca was born in Newark, New Jersey as the son of two Portuguese immigrants. He's grown up in the City of Newark and has lived in single parent household for a good portion of his life. He will be the first person in his family to go to college, and will be doing so at an Ivy League College, Dartmouth, in Hanover, New Hampshire. He was accepted on a full scholarship through the Questbridge Scholarship program. At Dartmouth he plans to major in classical studies, and intends to study abroad in both Italy and Greece. In addition to being a Questbridge Scholar, Gabriel is also a part of the Cooperman College Scholars program. Gabriel has also revealed himself to be a distinguished leader in the past 4 years, as the President of Student Council and Vice-President of the National Honor Society.
Our next co-valedictorian is Ms. Natalie Fernandez who also finishes with a cumulative grade point average of 4.524. Natalie Fernandez was born in the borough of Queens, New York but raised in the mountainous farmlands of her parent's home country in the Dominican Republic. That is to say she grew up in a completely different environment than the rest of her peers that were born in the United States. Growing up in the Dominican Republic taught her the real essence of hard work and family bonds. When it came to choosing a college Natalie focused on finding a college that would become her home away from home but that would also challenge her to her fullest potential. Natalie is now proud to be part of the University of Notre Dame freshman class of 2023 as a QuestBridge College Prep and College Match scholar. She has surpassed many milestones, both as a scholar and individually in her family as the first child to be enrolled in college. Her future was in part paved by all the roles she has taken head on throughout her high school years, not only being part of clubs like Student Council, Model UN, and Robotics but also a student leader for all of them.

It's time to move beyond just knowing what makes for great social media engagement, and actually do it.
Let's get real. Common sense pretty much tells us most of what we need to know to get our fans and followers engaged with our social media content.
The problem (as I see it) isn't so much a lack of knowledge, as a lack of time, energy and resources to consistently carry out the proper strategies.
It's easy to read an article about social media engagement, and say, "That's SO true! I really need to do that!". But, as often happens, life gets in the way. The phone rings, a deadline looms or we simply lose the motivation to carry through on our plans.
So this article is going to be a little bit different. Below you'll find 5 reasons why your social media accounts aren't getting any engagement, along with an easy, practical, actionable tip that will help ensure you avoid falling into each trap.
Social media works best when you're able to be active consistently. Problem is, things come up that impede our ability to hop onto social media at regularly scheduled times.
How to Avoid This: To ensure you post regularly, you need to have a posting plan in place. This involves using a tool like HootSuite, Buffer or SproutSocial for social media updates, and scheduling your blog posts to go live at set intervals (if you're using WordPress, scheduling is built in. Just click 'Edit' next to 'Publish immediately'). You may also want to consider having an editorial calendar for your content: here's one you can download from HubSpot, and here's an editorial calendar WordPress plugin. An editorial calendar is, after all, the best way to double your content marketing ROI in 2014. Be sure you also schedule in time to read and respond to comments and reply to questions.
Too often, business owners invest an insane amount of time and money having excellent content written for their blog or social media accounts. But content can be extremely well-written, and still not provide anything of value. You need to have a unique angle…something that's different, special, and tailored to your particular audience.
How to Avoid This: When you're coming up with ideas for your blog and social media posts, don't be content to just post what everyone else is posting. What unique angle or spin can you put on the topic at hand? How can you tailor it to your audience? When you come up with a schedule for your posts (see #1), keep these questions in mind to avoid rehashing the same old content and ideas.
A trap most of us fall into (at least sometimes), is focusing more on what our followers can do for us, rather than the other way around. There's a time and place on social media for promoting your products, but these should only make up a very small portion of your social media activity.
When you let your customer-focused mission statement guide your content creation, your social media content can't help but meet the needs and desires of your target market.
You can post the most engaging content, but if it's not finding your target audience, what's the point? Many businesses choose the social networks they prefer, without determining if that's actually where their audience wants to connect with them.
How to Avoid This: Do some research into where you target market is hanging out. There are a number of ways you can do this: First, do some research on the key demographics of each of the social networks. This recent study by PewResearch is a great place to start. Second, ask your current customers where they prefer to connect with you. You can set up a quick survey using Survey Monkey or KwikSurveys, and post it on your site or send it out to your email subscribers.
How to Determine Which Social Media Network Fits Your Business.
Sometimes big brands can get away with generic, impersonal posts…particularly since we know that a majority of people still cite coupons and discounts as the #1 reason they follow a brand on social media (who cares if a post is impersonal as long as you're saving 30%?).
But for most businesses, being impersonal will turn away followers and make them disinterested in your posts, your brand, and your company. One of the core purposes of social media involvement is humanization of your brand, which builds loyalty, awareness, trust, traffic, and conversion rates.
Sign your name occasionally so your fans and followers know there's a real person behind your posts. This is especially useful if you have a social media team. Barack Obama is famous for doing this when he personally posts Tweets to his Twitter account.
Don't be all business, all the time. Don't be afraid to post a personal photo, opinion or anecdote from time to time. This will help you stand out by bringing a strong human element to your brand. Your followers aren't one-dimensional, and they don't expect you to be either.
Don't overcomplicate things. Focus less on strategy, and more on being real with your audience. When you make a mistake, admit it. Put yourself in the shoes of your audience and give them what they want. In his book Human to Human: #H2H, Bryan Kramer writes, "Communication shouldn't be complicated. It should just be genuine and simple, with the humility and understanding that we're all multi-dimensional humans, every one of which has spent time in both the dark and delightful parts of life." Focus less on being a marketer, and more on being human.
It's time to move beyond just knowing what makes for great social media engagement, and actually do it. Hopefully this post has given you some ideas for how you can be more proactive, consistent and real on social media…and increase your engagement levels as a result.
What would you add to this list? What are your best tips for getting more engagement on your social media accounts? Share your thoughts in the comments below.


From Gurdian : An estimated 85,000 children under the age of five have starved to death over the last three years as a result of Yemen's civil war, a report from Save the Children has found, as the charity urged an immediate ceasefire to prevent more loss of life.
Fears for Yemen's civilian population have increased in recent weeks because of an escalation in fighting around the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, through which about 80% of the country's imports flow.
Even a small amount of damage to the port's facilities, and a delay in aid deliveries, is likely to lead the UN to declare a widespread famine.
The new violence in Hodeidah has forced the charity to divert shipments for the rebel-held north of the country via Aden, a city nominally loyal to the government, causing delivery delays of up to two weeks.
"This conflict has created a perfect storm of conditions that has driven the country to the brink of famine," said Bhanu Bhatnagar, a Save the Children spokesman. "The violence has disrupted food production and destroyed hospitals and health centres where the weak and sick can be treated.
The UN's special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, has extracted promises from both the coalition and the Houthis to attend peace talks at the end of November after a failed round in September.
Griffiths flew into rebel-held capital Sanaa Wednesday to push for fresh peace talks.
A draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire was presented to the UN security council on Monday, although a vote has not yet been timetabled.
The UK – along with other western governments – has been repeatedly criticised by rights groups for its support for the Saudi-led coalition, including arms sales.
In the House of Commons on Wednesday, British foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said the conflict was a "humanitarian catastrophe", and told MPs the UN resolution seeking to relieve the humanitarian crisis in the country put forward by Britain aimed to "maximise the chances of achieving a political settlement".
Hunt said: "The important thing about the resolution that we are proposing is not that this is the end of the story, in terms of international efforts to broker a ceasefire, this is a step in the road.
"We want a ceasefire, we want a ceasefire that will hold, and we know that the risk that if you go for too much too early in these resolutions is that they end up getting ignored.
"And so this is a carefully brokered form of words designed to get a consensus from both sides that allow talks to start before the end of this month in Stockholm. That's the objective of this resolution.

The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities encompass most modern CPUs -- from Intel-based server systems to ARM processors in mobile phones -- that could allow an attacker to pull sensitive data from memory. Microsoft mitigated the flaws with several out-of-band patches last week, which have been folded into the January Patch Tuesday cumulative updates. Full protection from the exploits will require a more concerted effort from administrators, however.
"You could leak cookies, session keys, credentials -- information like that," said Jimmy Graham, director of product management for Qualys Inc., based in Redwood City, Calif.
In other January Patch Tuesday releases, Microsoft updated the Edge and Internet Explorer browsers to reduce the threat from the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. Aside from these CPU-related fixes, Microsoft issued patches for 56 other vulnerabilities, with 16 rated as critical, including a zero-day exploit in Microsoft Office (CVE-2018-0802).
Microsoft's attempt to address the CPU exploits had an adverse effect on some AMD systems, which could not boot after IT applied the patches. This issue prompted the company to pull those fixes until it can produce a more reliable update.
Most major cloud providers claimed they have closed this security gap, but administrators of on-premises systems will have to complete several deployment stages to fully protect their systems.
"This is a nasty one," said Harjit Dhaliwal, a senior systems administrator in the higher-education sector who handles patching for his environment. "This is not one of your normal vulnerabilities where you just have a patch and you're done. Fixing this involves a Microsoft patch, registry entries and firmware updates."
Microsoft released a security advisory labeled ADV180002 that provided in-depth information on how IT can address the threats. Administrators must ensure they have updated their antivirus product so it has the proper registry setting. Otherwise, they cannot apply the Meltdown and Spectre patches. Windows Server systems require a separate registry change to enable the protections from Microsoft's Meltdown and Spectre patches. The IT staff must identify the devices under their purview and collect that information to gather any firmware updates from the vendor. Firmware updates will correct two exploits related to Spectre. Microsoft plugged the Meltdown vulnerability with code changes to the kernel.
Dhaliwal manages approximately 5,000 Windows systems, ranging from laptops to Windows Server systems, with some models several years old. He is exploring a way to automate the firmware collection and deployment process, but certain security restrictions make this task even more challenging. His organization requires BitLocker on all systems, which must be disabled to apply a firmware update; otherwise, he could run into encryption key problems.
"This is not going to be an overnight process," Dhaliwal said.
How expansive are Meltdown and Spectre?
The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities exploit a bug with how many CPUs execute address space layout randomization. The difference between the two vulnerabilities is the kind of memory that is presented to the attacker. Exploits that use the flaws can expose data that resides in the system's memory, such as login information from a password manager.
Microsoft noted Meltdown and Spectre exist in many processors -- Intel, AMD and ARM -- and other operating systems, including Google Android and Chrome, and Apple iOS and macOS. Apple reportedly has closed the vulnerabilities in its mobile phones, while the status of Android patching varies depending on the OEM. Meltdown only affects Intel processors, and the Spectre exploit works with processors from Intel, AMD and ARM, according to researchers.
Some administrators have confirmed early reports that the Meltdown and Spectre patches from Microsoft affect system performance.
Dave Kawula, principal consultant at TriCon Elite Consulting, applied the updates to his Windows Server 2016 setup and ran the VM Fleet utility, which runs a stress test with virtualized workloads on Hyper-V and the Storage Spaces Direct pooled storage feature. The results were troubling, with preliminary tests showing a performance loss of about 35%, Kawula said.
"As it stands, this is going to be a huge issue," he said. "Administrators better rethink all their virtualization farms, because Meltdown and Spectre are throwing a wrench into all of our designs."
Intel has been updating its BIOS code since the exploits were made public, and the company will likely refine its firmware to reduce the impact from the fix, Graham said.
For more information about the remaining security bulletins for January Patch Tuesday, visit Microsoft's Security Update Guide.
How are you mitigating the risks from the Meltdown and Spectre exploits in your Windows systems?
When Intel new bios has the same performance degradation as to the OS patch? What will Intel do differently?
Question: We run a VM server farm on Cisco UCS. What I am trying to discover is if the Spectre and Meltdown patches need to be installed on VMs in addition to the Hardware hosts? As in if I patch the hosts will that remove the exploits from the Virtual servers?
From what I've seen on a few TechNet posts, it appears both VMs and the hosts will need the Microsoft patches to ensure full protection. Those physical servers will also need a firmware update to address the Spectre exploits.
What if Intel says they had already provided a solution but their channel partners (eg. Dell, HP, etc) did not want to provide BIOS update for older servers. That means the hardware is vulnerable regardless. Is Intel planning to buy out the old servers that OEM chooses not to provide patches?

Emila Medková, geborene Emila Tláskalová (* 19. November 1928; † 19. September 1985 in Prag) war eine tschechische Fotografin, eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen der tschechischen Kunstfotografie in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Leben
Medková wurde in Ústí nad Orlicí geboren. Die Familie zog nach Prag, wo Emila 1942 die Klasse des Landschaftsfotografen Josef Ehm an einer Spezialschule für Fotografie im Prager Stadtteil Smíchov besuchte. Sie arbeitete dann als Fotografin am Institut für Arbeitskräfte.

Ihre künstlerische Arbeit ist direkt mit dem Surrealismus verbunden. In der Anfangszeit schloss sie sich einem Kreis junger Künstler um Karel Teige an. Von 1947 bis 1951 schuf sie mit Mikuláš Medek Sammlungen von inszenierten Fotografien. Sie heiratete ihn am 12. September 1951. Von den frühen 1950er Jahren an konzentrierte sie sich darauf, mehrere sich lose überschneidende thematische Zyklen zu schaffen, die ihre gesamte Karriere bis zu ihrem Tod durchliefen.

An der Wende der 1950er und 1960er Jahre wurde sie zur führenden Vertreterin der tschechischen Informellen Kunst. Während sie vor allem in Prag Inspiration fand, schuf sie auch umfangreiche fotografische Zyklen von Paris (1966) und Italien (1967). Für ihren Lebensunterhalt arbeitete Medková ab 1954 als Leiterin des Fotolabors im Forschungsinstitut für Arbeitssicherheit des staatlichen Gewerkschaftsverbandes, ab 1963 am Psychologischen Institut der Karlsuniversität. Sie beteiligte sich an der tschechischen surrealistischen Bewegung. 1960 hatte sie ihre erste Einzelausstellung, danach waren ihre Fotografien in weiteren nationalen und internationalen Ausstellungen zu sehen.

Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes 1974 erlitt sie einen Schlaganfall und war teilweise gelähmt. Sie starb 1985 in Prag.

Broadband prices will fall to £30 per month or lower after BT announced on Tuesday that it will slash the cost of its wholesale consumer product by 50 percent.
The cost of BT's wholesale home user broadband package, which is offered by around 200 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the UK, will drop to £14.75 +VAT per month on 1 April. Self-installed broadband currently costs £25 +VAT and the engineer-installed version costs £30 +VAT. The new prices will apply to both versions, and both new and existing customers will benefit.
BT claims that the move will provide a major boost to Britain's broadband market. It hopes that these price cuts will mean it can attract one million broadband customers by 2003. BT also said it has made "significant" price cuts on its business ADSL products, but didn't give details right away.
Significant price cuts have been expected ever since BT's new chief executive, Ben Verwaayen, promised radical changes in the company's approach to broadband.
"Broadband is the future for Britain and we're putting it at the heart of BT's plans for growth in the UK mass market. This will drive the whole market forward by making broadband affordable, attractive and accessible," said Verwaayen, announcing the cuts in a statement.
Broadband is always connected, and allows users to surf the Internet many times faster than is possible using a standard dial-up ISP. BT's ADSL product is supported by 1,010 local exchanges around the country, mostly in urban areas, and is one of the few ways that UK consumers can currently get a broadband connection. ADSL (asynchronous digital subscriber line) turns standard phone lines into high-speed digital connections.
Cable companies such as Ntl and Telewest also offer broadband services in some parts of the country, using a cable-based technology, while Tele2 provides wireless broadband in some areas.
Some of BT's opponents have claimed that the only way the company could achieve significant price cuts would be by selling its products at a loss, something it is forbidden to do.
According to Verwaayen, though, it will still be possible for BT to operate a sustainable business model while charging ISP's £14.75. "Through substantial reductions in the cost of providing service we can set prices that will stimulate the market strongly, and make money on it," he added.
Consumer broadband services typically retail at as low as £40 per month at the moment, and if BT's price cut is passed on to customers, retail prices should drop by around £10 per month.
Industry experts are already predicting that some ISPs may cut retail prices by more than this, though. In what seems likely to become an increasingly competitive market, rival ISPs may decide to charge as little as £20 per month for a 12-month broadband contract.
BT also repeated that it is prepared to roll out ADSL to rural areas, if it can find partners to assist with the infrastructure costs.
