In Dramatic Victory, Elon Musk Beats "Pedo Guy" Defamation Suit
12/06/2019 Entertainment Comments Off on In Dramatic Victory, Elon Musk Beats "Pedo Guy" Defamation Suit
Elon Musk left through a back door of a US district court in Los Angeles on Tuesday, after testifying as a defendant in a defamation case.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk successfully defended himself in a lawsuit brought by a British cave explorer, after a California-based jury found that the billionaire had not defamed the plaintiff by calling him a "pedo guy" on Twitter.
The billionaire entrepreneur, who testified in court earlier this week, said "My faith in humanity is restored" on his way out of the court. Vernon Unsworth, the 64-year-old plaintiff, who sat mostly stonefaced through the four-day trial remained silent as the verdict was read. His legal team had sought a judgement of $190 million, but in the end could not get the jury to agree.
The lawsuit stemmed from a series of four tweets that Musk had sent in July 2018 that insulted Unsworth, a Brit who had been heavily involved in the rescue of a boys soccer team and their coach from a cave system in Thailand earlier that month. In those tweets, Musk called the man "sus" and a "pedo guy," after Unsworth had given an interview in which he criticized Musk's efforts to involve himself in the cave rescue.
One juror told BuzzFeed News the decision came down to the public's familiarity with Unsworth. "The judge laid out five points for defamation as soon as we got to point two, which was about being acquainted [with the defamed person], we decided, among a few other things", said Carl Shusterman, a Los Angeles attorney who served on the jury. "The people that read Musk's tweet wouldn't have known who he was talking about."
During the trial, Unsworth and his lawyers, led by attorney Lin Wood, argued that any reasonable person who saw Musk's words in the news or on Twitter, where the billionaire had around 22 million followers at the time, would have interpreted the words as direct allegations of pedohilia. Musk and his lawyers, led by attorney Alex Spiro, portrayed the tweets as a tit-for-tat response in "an argument between two men" and defended them as insults not accusations.
While Musk deleted his July 2018 tweets about Unsworth, who had previously given a CNN interview accusing the Tesla CEO of a publicity stunt for becoming involved in the rescue, he later doubled down in follow up tweets and in emails to a BuzzFeed News reporter. In a tweet from August 2018, he had asked why Unsworth hadn't sued him yet if the accusation wasn't true. He then sent an email to a BuzzFeed News reporter suggesting that Unsworth was a "child rapist" who had taken a 12-year-old "child bride."
Unsworth's legal team did not use Musk's emailed claims to the reporter to establish defamation but did enter them as evidence to show the billionaire's state of mind when he made his July 2018 tweets. They also showed how the head of Musk's family office, working on the billionaire's orders, hired a private investigator in August 2018 to dig up dirt on Unsworth and attempt to confirm that he was a pedophile.
In the end, the jury of three men and five women in the Los Angeles federal court, sided with Musk, after a trial that saw the Tesla CEO testify on Tuesday and Wednesday. Legal experts were surprised the case went to trial at all given the propensity of most parties to settle and the difficulty of achieving a favorable plaintiff's verdict for defamation.

Augmented Reality: Window To The World
Chen-Ping Yu, Co-Founder & CEO, Phiar joins Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss why augmented reality is the window to the world.
The conversation begins with Chen-Ping discussing his time at Stony Brook University followed by Harvard. At Harvard, Chen-Ping was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Cognitive and Neural Lab where he studied the brain.
I had the pleasure to work with a group of cognitive and neural scientists to combine what they have learned about the brain with deep-learning computer vision.
– Chen-Ping Yu
It was during his time driving in Boston, that Chen-Ping had an "ah-ha" moment that would lead to the founding of Phiar.
Why couldn't someone show me my route by overlaying that to the actual camera feed instead of drawing it on a map?
Since no one was doing it, Chen-Ping decided to go for it and solve the problem that he experienced driving in Boston. He set out to build AR navigation.
Phiar was founded in 2017 when VR (virtual reality) was dominating headlines and film studios were building labs to better understand the technology. Consumers were associating Google Glass with AR (augmented reality) leading to a general misunderstanding in the marketplace about what is AR.
Today, a lot has changed. Studios are no longer investing in VR (virtual reality) and companies such as Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are all rumored to be working on AR products.
Chen-Ping goes onto share his thoughts on the current state of AR and why software combined with hardware is the path forward.
AR is absolutely exciting.
With a clear understanding of software integrated with hardware being the path forward, Chen-Ping decided to focus on the automotive market. Software integrated with hardware is the Apple model.
Grayson asks Chen-Ping what his thoughts are on a possible AR automotive services business for Apple.
People are looking at automotive vehicles as the next big platform for software. Even automotive players are trying to redesign and upgrade their whole architecture into a more software-driven [approach].
Looking to the future, Grayson asks Chen-Ping if Phiar will stay platform-agnostic and what his thoughts are on a potential Phiar App Store. It is possible, but only time will tell.
Shifting the conversation back to services, Grayson talks about why Airbnb will be one of the biggest benefactors of augmented reality in vehicles. In a post-COVID world, there will be a huge demand for experiences. AR will be able to unlock digital experiences that are not possible today. This will create massive new revenue opportunities for companies such as Airbnb.
Wrapping up the conversation, Chen-Ping and Grayson discuss how to make an augmented reality map without pre-mapping and the role that AI plays in enabling AR.

LES FEMMES - THE TRUTH: Sometimes you just gotta laugh -- So do it and then pray for the pope!
Sometimes you just gotta laugh -- So do it and then pray for the pope!
Eye of the Tiber had a hilarious post yesterday and since laughter really is the best medicine when you feel like crying over the state of the Church, I offer EOTT's post as a medicinal survival prescription. They prove that satire is still possible in the crazy times we live in when the entire culture seems like a satire! Isn't it sad when so much of what our pope does seems like satire?
Telling reporters that he brought in world-renowned organizing consultant Marie Kondo to help consolidate and clean up the Vatican, likely antipope George Bergoglio said Friday that he was now feeling "much better" after decluttering the city-state of all but five of the bishops, including the likely Pope, Benedict the 16th!
Historically people have prayed for the pope that he would be protected from evil and given the wisdom and courage to shepherd us.
That was when we had reason to imagine the man in white was an honest and holy man.
What do we do when that assumption has little if any basis. Today I pray for the Church. I pray for the preservation of the papacy established by Christ when he put Peter in charge. I pray for holy men to teach and lead us to truth.
I pray God will deliver us soon from this man in the Vatican who is a communist and a heritic.
As with all who are excommunicated, the hope is that Bergoglio will be converted. But I won't waste my breath at this point to pray for someone who is leading the world to hell.
Several times each day, I recite the Prayer of the Fatima Angel, 'My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in You, do not adore You, do not hope in You, and do not love You.' I say it three times ad add, 'Especially for our Holy Father, Francis, ad all the Bishops and Clergy who have fallen away from the Faith'.
What a great addition to the Fatima prayer. Thank you. I'm going to write it down and put it in my Magnificat.

Q: Subclassing UICollectionViewCell leads to never being selected I've tried subclassing a UICollectionViewCell and loading from a nib file:
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        NSArray *arrayOfViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"DatasetCell" owner:self options:nil];

        if ([arrayOfViews count] < 1) {
            return nil;
        }

        if (![[arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[UICollectionViewCell class]]) {
            return nil;
        }

        self = [arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0];

        UIView *view = [UIView new];
        view.frame = self.frame;
        view.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
        self.selectedBackgroundView = view;
    }

    return self;
}

I'm running into an issue where a cell is selected, the cell.selected is not being set. It is always NO which is leading to an issue of deselecting the cells.
How do I handle getting the cell to the selected state?
EDIT:
I originally loading the custom UICollectionViewCell as a class:
[collectionView registerClass:[DatasetCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"dataCell"];

Switched to loading the nib:
[collectionView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"DatasetCell" bundle:nil] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"nibCell"];

I have the same select/deselect issue both ways.

A: The main error is that you have defined a property
@property (nonatomic) BOOL isSelected;

in your custom UICollectionViewCell subclass (in "DatasetCell.h"), which interferes with the inherited "selected" property of UICollectionViewCell.
If you remove that property definition, selection and deselection works as expected, at least for the cells loaded from the nib file via registerNib:....
For the cells loaded via registerClass:..., initWithFrame is called. You try to load the cell from the nib file there. That does not make much sense and seems not to work correctly. You should either create the cell programmatically in initWithFrame and use registerClass:, or create the cell in the nib file and use registerNib:.
initWithFrame is not called for cells loaded from the nib file, use awakeFromNib if you want to make modifications to the cell.
Hope that helps!!

MANILA, Philippines—An emotional Ma. Cecilia Flores-Oebanda on Friday denied the charges filed against her by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for allegedly falsifying documents to hide the misuse of at least P210 million ($5 million) in funds donated to the Visayas Forum Foundation Inc. (VFFI), a nongovernmental organization she founded in 1991.
The USAID asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in August to probe the foundation over funds for the group's projects that it said were missing.
"We have recommended to the Department of Justice the filing of charges of falsification of documents. More serious charges could follow," said NBI antigraft chief Rachel Marfil-Angeles.
Angeles said the findings were backed by external auditors hired by USAID, which checked disbursements to the foundation covering the period 2005 to 2011.
The foundation, considered the leading Philippine group in the fight against human trafficking, had also received financial support from international companies Starbucks and Microsoft.
Its founder has been tapped as an adviser to the Philippine government as it seeks removal from an international watch list where human trafficking remains rampant.
Angeles said the NBI has asked the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) for records pertaining to VFFI, including those of the group's beneficiaries.
"The auditor in her initial findings said there were indications of lack of beneficiaries and discrepancy in records submitted to other government agencies," the NBI antigraft head said, adding that the result of one audit showed that the VFFI had listed 100 victims rescued, while the DSWD record only showed 30.
The VFFI, Angeles said, is a member of the IACAT whose members also include Vice President Jejomar Binay and the NBI.
Oebanda said she felt betrayed by the action of the US development agency, a partner of the VFFI in its antihuman trafficking campaign, but promised to clear the foundation's name in court.
In a phone interview on Friday, Oebanda said the VFFI was a USAID partner for more than six years but funding was suspended without prior discussion three weeks ago. She added that she received a letter from USAID officials saying that their funding was suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.
Oebanda also clarified that what was being audited was USAID funding worth P97 million, not P210 million, which the VFFI received from 2005 to 2011.
Oebanda said she was thinking of returning the awards given her by the US for her pioneering work.
In 2005, the US Department of State recognized the VFFI as exemplifying one of the international best practices for its antitrafficking partnership with the Philippine government and private shipping companies, and cited its founding president and executive director for the impact of her work.
In 2008, Oebanda was named by the same US department as one of its Heroes Acting to End Modern-Day Slavery in its Trafficking in Persons Report. The US Department of Labor also presented her the first Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labor in 2010.
The former leftist rebel known as "Kumander Liway" in the mountains of Negros in the late 1970s has denied NBI findings that a big portion of the money donated by the USAID to the VFFI is missing.
"The money was all accounted for and spent on beneficiaries, contrary to what they are saying," she said.
Oebanda said the statement of the whistle-blower about her ordering that receipts be faked "were not true." She also denied that 32 boxes full of fake receipts were taken from the VFFI office.
The VFFI official said she was looking forward to the hearing of the case so she could face her accusers and clear the foundation's name.
"We are ready. We are not hiding anything," Oebanda said.
Oebanda also dismissed as an "intrigue-sower" the whistle-blower who reported the alleged anomalies to USAID.
"She was with (VFFI) for four years, and when she was still here she was described as intrigera," she said.
The charges have apparently started to worry some of VFFI beneficiaries. A survivor of human trafficking interviewed by Inquirer said she was concerned that the controversy would affect the help extended her by the foundation.
"I was 14 when I was rescued by VFFI from a cybersex den. I am now 19 and studying (to be a) social worker in Philippine Christian University," she said.
"Paano na ang mga katulad namin na tinutulungan ng foundation. Sa mga sinabi nila, baka magsara ang foundation (What will happen to us now? The charges might close down the foundation)," she said.
The foundation's headquarters in a residential area in Cubao, Quezon City, is inside a compound where new two buildings are separated by a small garden.

The Wilayat Khorasan fighters made their first appearance in Afghanistan in 2014, but solidified their presence, and their abuse of the local population, in 2015. The eastern part of Afghanistan, and in particular Nangharah province, has been the most affected by the group's nascent rise. Last August, according to Tolo News, a local news organization, at least six schools in the Achin and Momand Dara areas were closed by IS. During our visit, local sources put the number higher, naming some 17 schools – three high schools and 14 elementary schools – shuttered by IS.
"They entered while I was listening to music and pointed a gun at me," said Baba, the watchman at a school in Desharak village. It was a stark interruption from his nightly routine: standing guard alone, looking out over the varying landscape of sandy hills and fertile, green fields, while listening to music. The IS fighters smashed his radio and kicked him out of the school, forcing him to flee without packing his clothes, his prayer rug or other personal affects. He lost everything that night, even his bed.
"The Taliban never did such thing", said the young school director, who had graduated in 2011 from the Khost University. "When the Taliban came to the school in the past, they simply requested that we introduce a new book, called Faranghi, which means 'cultural book,' but they made no arguments against the government programs." Teachers we spoke to said the same; even English language lessons were allowed under the Taliban's watch, alongside Pashto, the second language of Afghanistan, and Dari.
IS recently abandoned the village and the school has reopened, with some 900 students returning to continue their lessons. Many still choose to stay away, however, their families still fearing IS advances and military clashes. According to Achin's district governor, 80 percent of the region is now under government control, but clashes are ongoing, with checkpoints in place and armed vehicles patrolling the area.

-Surrounded by farm fields, 108 Honda folks are building supercars in rural Ohio; the glass doors exiting the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) lobby located near Pottersburg, Ohio, are etched with one huge but inscrutable Japanese Kanji character. At the bottom, the word "dream" decodes that message for those fortunate enough to pass through this portal to the plant floor.
Shortly after the first motorcycle powered off the U.S. assembly line, a fax to headquarters in Japan urged, "Proceed with auto production." Accord manufacturing commenced in 1982, years before other Japanese brands began manufacturing complete vehicles here. Forging ahead of the curve, Honda launched the first Japanese luxury brand in 1986 with Acura Integras and Legends. Five years later, Acura shot a missile across Ferrari's bow by introducing the NSX, Japan's first supercar.
Mr. Honda celebrated the NSX's 1989 introduction but died in 1991, well before this dream car left production in 2005. Copious tears shed for the loss of these two icons assured that the NSX eventually would return. While Ferrari and other supercar makers remain in Acura's gunsight, the new NSX's PMC is near a town with a ZIP code but not so much as a post office.
The Anna engine plant is Honda's largest with more than a million engines per year built by 2800 workers. Three rooms are dedicated to assembling and testing the NSX's 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6. Proving that this powerhouse is steeped in racing technology, the block, heads, and bottom cover are cast by Grainger and Worral and machined by Cosworth, two premier British motorsports firms.
One associate spends nearly six hours assembling each engine. Honda engineers invented a special measuring gauge to select valvetrain shims with utmost precision. Every fastener is hand-started and the final torque applied by a power tool is automatically displayed on a screen and recorded in a data bank.
After assembly is complete and the joint sealant has cured for three hours, each engine is passed to another associate for break-in on a dynamometer. While peak torque isn't measured, this process revs the engine to 4000 rpm with varying loads for an hour or so to spare the owner the break-in task. This assures that a brand-new NSX can be driven straight to the track without fear of engine damage.
Six of the space frame castings are hollow, thin-wall components made using a special ablation process. Carefully timed blasts of water flush away some of the core sand to rapidly quench the molten aluminum, thereby optimizing the casting's microstructure and mechanical properties.
Urethane adhesives, along with a few fasteners, hold the glass and body panels in place. All screws are started by hand then tightened with special synchronized-transducer wrenches that provide audible and visual feedback to the assemblers, as well as a record of the torque applied. The engine and transaxle assembly are carefully lifted into the space frame at one of the early stations. Exterior panels are attached last—after chassis parts, interior trim, controls, and seats have been installed—to minimize the chance of damage to the finish.
Wheels and headlamps are aligned in the PMC's vehicle-quality area. Honda applied for a dozen patents to cover some of the special tools used here. For example, mirrors used for wheel alignment attach to the center instead of the periphery of each wheel to avoid rim scratches and to assure precision. A bucket seat rolls on rails beneath the car during alignment to comfortably support the associate responsible for adjusting the steering and suspension links.

Kaliningrad: Baltic Hong Kong No Longer – Analysis
April 29, 2017 Published by the Foreign Policy Research Institute 1 Comment

By Sergey Sukhankin*
(FPRI) — Kaliningrad Oblast—the westernmost Russian region physically separated from the Russian mainland—is a unique case study in post-Soviet transformation. The post-1991 oblast had all of the elements necessary for a success story: proximity to Europe, a liberal governor, peace, relative stability, and absence of other negative factors. Many parts of the Russian Federation were not endowed with these qualities, but Kaliningrad was. Initially deemed a "bridge of cooperation," the "Russian getaway to Europe," and the "Baltic Hong Kong," the exclave turned out to be one of the greatest disappointments that post-Soviet area has seen.
Not only did Kaliningrad fail to become a site of cooperation and dialogue between Russia and the European Union, it deteriorated into a "military bastion," dependent on hand-outs from the central government. The Baltic Hong Kong became Russia's Baltic Corregidor—a military base with the capability of cutting off other countries' access to the Baltic Sea. Moreover, the once hoped for cooperation with the West is being mercilessly destroyed through implementation of the "Russian World" project and the elimination of the region's German historic-cultural legacy.
From Soviet "Military Bastion" to the "Russian Embarrassment"
After it was annexed in 1945, Kaliningrad became a Soviet military outpost on the Baltic Sea. To keep it afloat, Moscow allocated enormous financial resources to prop up the local economy as a form of "compensation" for its adverse location. Kaliningrad elites quickly learned the lesson that they could extract resources from the central government for their own benefit.
Everything, however, changed in 1991 when the USSR collapsed. In addition to vast opportunities and great expectations, the post-Soviet world introduced a new challenging reality. Kaliningrad could have become Russia's response to Hong Kong and serve a "bridge" between Europe and Russia. Yet, for Kaliningrad to take this path, local elites and the Kremlin needed a "road map" for the region's development. Equally important, however, was the local population's willingness to accept a new reality, in which competition is a pre-requisite for progress, prosperity, and success. Neither of these came to pass. Instead of prosperity and Europeanization, Kaliningrad became a Russian backwater region. Instead of being known for the birthplace of Kant and Bessel, the oblast was associated with an HIV/AIDS epidemic, smuggling, and widespread criminality.
"Stability for Tranquillity" or Everything Comes at a Price
Transition from a somewhat privileged Soviet city into a backwards region shocked the local population, and led them to welcome promises of stability, whatever the source. Vladimir Putin's accession as president of the Russian Federation in 2000 had crucial and far-reaching implications for Kaliningrad. This shift became clear in 2005, during celebrations of 750th anniversary of Kaliningrad. From this point, Moscow identified its determination to choose the path of development for Kaliningrad: during elaborate anniversary celebrations, Georgy Boos, who had been handpicked by Putin, was presented as the next governor of the oblast. Similarly, the Kremlin suggested that legislation passed in 2006 giving Kaliningrad tax breaks as part of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was to become the backbone of the local economy.
Yet, it soon became clear that both changes were designed to increase dependence on Moscow. For instance, the new SEZ gave priority to big businesses, primarily from Moscow, restricting foreign companies' access to the local market. Moreover, prioritizing large enterprises over small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) did not take into account the limited size of the local market and the lack of resources that were to be transported from the Russian mainland. In practice, this meant the local economy was to be artificially supported by financial subsidies from the central government. By refocusing Kaliningrad's economy toward hand-outs from the central government, the Kremlin restarted policies that had been pursued by the Communist regime before 1991. The main outcome—skyrocketing corruption and further reliance on federal support—must have been expected by the Kremlin as an antidote against excessive independence and forging external contacts.
The Unsuccessful Revolt: Is Something Rotten in the Oblast of Kaliningrad?
This model functioned relatively well for several years before it first encountered serious challenges. The outbreak of the global economic crisis in 2008 showed how brittle and one-sided the Russian economy was. The federal centre could no longer provide the enclave with the same level of subsidies, urging the governor to raise funds from Kaliningrad itself. The local government increased taxes and levied utility charges on one of the most profitable local businesses, the transportation of vehicles from the European Union to Russia. At the same time, the government tolerated spending cuts on medical facilities. These tax increases and medical clinic closures inspired a wave of public discontent that broke into mass protests, eventually known as the "Tangerine Spring" in late 2009 – 2010. As a result, Georgy Boos was practically evicted from the oblast. Slogans, such as "United Russia go to Russia!" and "Down with Boos, down with Putin!" resonated far beyond the tiny enclave. The Kremlin watched these developments with a growing sense of alarm.
Influenced by events in the westernmost Russian region, many external and domestic observers rushed to celebrate the victory of Kaliningrad democracy, calling Kaliningrad the "Russian Gdansk," a reference to the Polish city that led protests against that country's communist rulers in 1989. Unfortunately, they celebrated too quickly. The locals revolted not because of values but because of their economic situation: the Kremlin was not providing the promised funding. The truth is that Kaliningrad could not have become Gdansk. Its Soviet legacy still shapes the outlook of a sizable part of the local community. The "Kaliningrad identity" is based solely on Soviet nostalgia.
Kaliningrad in the Vanguard of the "Russian World:" What is the End Game?
Another milestone occurred in 2008 when Patriarch Kirill became the head of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). As the Metropolitan of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, this powerful figure became the main advocate of Kaliningrad Oblast in Moscow. His accession had a profound effect on the "Russian World" project, with the church playing a larger role in Russian foreign policy. In this regard, Russia's westernmost enclave was to acquire a new identity based on enormous transformation. No longer on the periphery, now Kaliningrad was described as the beacon and citadel of the "Russian World" in Europe. This new image was pronounced by the Patriarch in 2015 during his visit to Kaliningrad.

In the meantime, there were some disturbing aspects to this transformation. First, local authorities allied with the church launched another crusade against remnants of the German cultural legacy (which Kirill called "old stones," referring to German churches). If this trend continues, soon, little will remain of Kaliningrad's rich historical and cultural traditions from its German past. Second, Russian authorities keep trying to cut Kaliningrad's links with the outside world. In addition to cancelling short-term visa free access for foreigners, the oldest local NGO "The German – Russian House," which had opened in the early 1990s, was labelled a "foreign agent" and was forced to close. Third, various "patriotic" and paramilitary groups have gained popularity. These range from Cossacks to the notorious Yunarmia movement, an initiative of the Russian Ministry of Defence aimed at fostering a bond between the army and the young generations of Russians. Moscow is pursuing a policy of militarization of the public consciousness. Finally, Kaliningrad has become a mechanism by which Moscow generates anti-Baltic sentiments. An ugly incident in Vilnius, Lithuania at the end of 2016 when the Russian Embassy was implicated in dissemination of highly provocative anti-Lithuanian leaflets summoning the locals to move to Kaliningrad is a recent example.
Scenarios for Future Development
Growing disappointment with the new U.S. administration among Russian ruling elites, continuing sanctions, and worsening economic conditions will push Moscow to increase its anti-Western sentiment. Over the 26 years of post-Soviet development, Kaliningrad Oblast has worked as a litmus test of Russian relations with the West. For the oblast, the new anti-Western trend means greater isolation and further military build-up on its territory. In other words, Kaliningrad is returning to its pre-1991 status. In the meantime, in dealing with Kaliningrad today, Moscow is haunted by the same curse from 25 years ago: the absence of a strategy for economic development beyond distributing subsidies from the central government. The main proof—the abrogation of the Special Economic Zone status in April 2016 and the government's failure to offer an alternative—showed that the old model does not work, and a new model does not exist.
Despite this situation, the Kremlin is determined to pursue its current course of dealing with the oblast, which is reflected in the growing military build-up. Therefore, the current model—economic support in exchange for loyalty—will continue to dominate Moscow's relations with Kaliningrad.

One thought on "Kaliningrad: Baltic Hong Kong No Longer – Analysis"
I would say that compared to for example West Ukraine Kaliningrad has done rather well.
In West Ukraine 30 Oligarchs own Ukraine. None of them is an ethnic Ukrainian. And apparently no ethnic Ukrainian has made it to become President, Prime Minister or Economics Minister, the three "gold mine ministers"

View full sizePhoto providedNicole Chantal de Weever performs in "Fela!" at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, March 20.
When Nicole Chantal de Weever was a student at NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, she had the chance to work with well-known choreographer Bill T. Jones.
But it wouldn't be her last.
Fast-forward a few years and de Weever got the chance to audition for the choreographer again.
This time, for a Broadway musical.
"He said he remembered my quality of movement. I thought that was really sweet. He works with so many dancers," she said.
In "Fela!" — at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, March 20 through 25 — de Weever moves quite a lot.
The true story of Afrobeat musician Fela Kuti of Nigeria, de Weever, who has been in other shows before, said it's a musical that definitely stands out.
"You leave the theater feeling, 'I have to do something about the world I live in.' It's all about courage and uplifting your community. It's about the human experience. It's not about race," she said.
Kuti, who created the Afrobeat style of music — a mix of pounding electric rhythms laced with lyrics that openly attacked the corrupt military dictatorships in his native Nigeria and much of Africa — used his music "as a weapon," de Weever said.
"It's definitely not your typical Broadway show. It leaves you thinking and wanting to be a better person," she said.
"Fela!" was de Weever's very first show on Broadway. She appeared in some national tours of Broadway musicals before, but this was the first time she actually performed in a show on Broadway in New York City.
De Weever has come a long way from her small Caribbean island of St. Maarten to the Big Apple.
"I was the first person from my island to ever be on Broadway," she said.
At just 15, de Weever left her small island home to live with her aunt in Virginia where she continued to study dance.
At first, everything "seemed extreme" in such a big country, she said.
But, following her dream to dance has paid off. She has worked steadily after graduating with a degree in dance from NYU.
"I've been lucky. It's very hard to find consistent work," de Weever said.
And she feels extremely lucky to have a role in "Fela!" She dances as part of the ensemble, but she also plays one of Kuti's 27 wives. Nine female dancers represent his wives, which he called his queens.
"Fela!" had its world premiere off-Broadway in 2008. It opened on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in November 2009. The musical, which features many of Kuti's songs, won three Tony Awards in 2010. It also won an Astaire Award for best choreography.
If you go: "Fela!" will be at the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia, March 20 through 25. Tickets are $20 to $100. Tickets can be purchased by calling 215-893-1999, at kimmelcenter.org/broadway or at the Kimmel Center box office.

Alexa will soon provide comprehensive information about contact details and operating hours of businesses, after Amazon partnered with Yext, a firm that manages a platform that enables businesses to identify which facts will be shared to consumers online and already supplies data like addresses, phone numbers, and business hours to Google, Apple, and Facebook. Even though Alexa can already answer questions regarding local businesses with the retail giant's partnership with consumer review website Yelp, this new collaboration will allow Amazon to access around 30 million facts about more than 1.2 million businesses and locations. Furthermore, it will enable Alexa to supply relevant answers based on the user's location as long as they provided their addresses to the virtual assistant's mobile application.
The partnership should also help reduce the gap between Amazon Alexa and other popular virtual assistants, namely Google Assistant and Siri, in terms of the number of correctly answered queries. A recent study conducted by Loup Ventures shows that Alexa was only able to answer 63-percent of questions correctly, compared to the virtual assistants of Google and Apple, which correctly responded to more than 85-percent of questions about local enterprises. Information from Yext should help Alexa answer more queries correctly, although the research firm noted that Amazon's virtual assistant is still at a disadvantage due to the lack of a deeply integrated maps service.
Amazon has been continuously working to improve its virtual assistant with the addition of useful features ever since launching it. Recently, the retail giant partnered with financial firms Capital One, JP Morgan, and New York Life to develop productivity-focused skills for Alexa, so consumers can now access their bank account and credit card information, as well as obtain real-time market predictions using voice commands. In addition, the virtual assistant's Android application recently gained the ability to send text messages using voice commands, although this functionality remains limited to users in the United States.

British Foreign Secretary Raab: Fisheries is the main point of debate in the British-European negotiations
November 29th British Foreign Secretary Raab said in an interview with the media that he thought that the future negotiations between Britain and Europe had entered the "last week or so" of "substantive negotiations" and stressed that the fishing issue was the "main point of debate" between the two sides.
Raab said that as the Brexit transition period is about to end by the end of this year, the negotiations between Britain and Europe may also end soon. He hoped that the EU would show pragmatism, goodwill and sincerity to promote agreement between the two sides on the "principles" issue of fisheries.
British Foreign Secretary Raab: Fisheries is a matter of principle. After the transition period, Britain will leave the EU. We will be an independent coastal country. We must be able to control our own waters.
On differences such as a level playing field and dispute settlement mechanisms, Raab said that the two sides "seemed to have made progress" on the basis of respect.
On the afternoon of the same day, the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said that the future relationship negotiations between the EU and the United Kingdom were "an ongoing process". Asked if he could reach an agreement, he said, "let's try."
A source from the British Prime Minister's Office said in an interview on the 28th that the consequences of a no-deal Brexit were "underestimated". If Britain and Europe fail to reach a trade agreement during the transition period, from January 1, 2021, the trade between the two sides may return to the framework of the World Trade Organization, start border inspection and impose tariffs, and tariffs on some British exports will be greatly increased. In addition, if there is no agreed Brexit, the UK's GDP growth in 2021 will be pulled down by 2%, according to the UK Office of Budget Responsibility.

Boxing Day in Sydney, Australia, is spent much differently than you would expect. From the early hours of the morning, over 600,000 people line up along the waterfront and squeeze in close to catch a glimpse of the water. The harbour is full of boats, large and small, carrying excited people, eager for the best view. At home, and around the world, millions of people are watching the live-stream on TV and online. No other event of its kind attracts such huge media coverage.
The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is an annual Aussie tradition, dating back to 1945, and hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA). The race starts promptly at 1pm in Sydney, New South Wales and ends when the boats reach Hobart, Tasmania, an island state located off the coast of Southern Australian. The distance is approximately 1170 kilometres and takes a few days to complete.
Wanting to take part in the event, we woke up early Boxing Day morning and headed down to Watson's Bay for the start of the race. The traffic was bad, and most of the beaches already full, so we worried about making it to the Watson's Bay Lighthouse in time. As we followed the crowds of people, we came across a small, quiet beach and walked down the stairs to the sand. Wondering why anyone would pass up such a great view, it was only once we reached the bottom did we realise this spot was secluded for good reason… it's a nudist beach!!! Frantically running back up the stairs, but not before seeing a few naked people in the water, we left the beach and followed the other fully clothed people to the cliff top.
The yachts passed by quickly, but we enjoyed watching them sail along the water and could feel the excitement of the crowd. Having never seen or participated in a yacht race before, I assumed the first to reach Hobart, won. As it turns out, two winners are declared: one for Line Honours (being the first to cross the finish line) and one on Handicap (taking into account yacht size, weight, experience, time, etc). While there have been a range of past winners from all over the world, only 6 yachts have claimed both titles in the same year. What interested me the most, was finding out there is no prize for winning, and entrants compete for the honour of the title (although nowadays, Rolex, the race sponsor, gives each of the winning captains one of their watches)!
In 1945, Peter Luke and his mates intended to cruise down to Hobart, but a British Royal Navy Officer, Captain John Illingworth, suggested a race – and the event was born! The initial start consisted of 9 yachts, but only 8 completed the journey to Hobart. Captain John Illingworth won, with a time of 6 days, 14 hours and 22 minutes (pictured below), whereas Peter Luke set a record for longest-ever time to complete the journey (which still stands), at 11 days, 6 hours, and 20 minutes.
Each year, the competition becomes more difficult, as more yachts participate. In 2016, the Perpetual Loyal crossed the finish line with a time of 1 day, 13 hours and 31 minutes, This year, their impossible record was beat by Wild Oats XI, but they were penalised over an illegal manoeuvre at the start of the race in Sydney, adding an extra hour to their overall time. The Comanche, who initially came second, was given the title and set a new record of 1 day, 9 hours and 15 minutes.
Now that we have seen the start of the race, we hope to one day be at the finish line and see the winners enter Hobart!

Max Clifford: silence is golden
By David Corker24 November 2014
Should lawyers be alarmed by a new sentencing principle established in the Max Clifford case?
Max Clifford was convicted of eight counts of indecent assault and sentenced to eight years. Earlier this month the Court of Appeal heard his appeal against sentence.
One of his complaints was that the judge had wrongly taken into account Clifford's conduct around the trial. In his sentencing remarks, it was evident that the judge had been so incensed about what he believed was Clifford's frivolous PR strategy outside Southwark Crown Court that he treated it as an aggravating factor which lengthened the sentence.
The issue for the court was whether convicted defendants in criminal cases which attract mass publicity should receive heavier sentences for loudly protesting their innocence or for behaving for the benefit of paparazzi camped outside court in a way that many may find ridiculous or contemptible.
Clifford did himself no favours but there is a danger that those accused by the state of a serious crime should be denied the right to publicly defend themselves and risk punishment for using the media to proclaim their innocence. In relation to clowning out-of-court behaviour, it is easy to overlook how stressed people can act unwisely when goaded by cameras.
The appeal court differentiated two behaviours: denying wrongdoing versus traducing the complainant(s). This difference is illustrated by how Stuart Hall behaved in 2013 before pleading guilty to sex crimes. He held 'press conferences' outside court and denounced his victims as liars and mercenaries. The sentencing judge held that this 'added to the distress of some if not all of your victims' and therefore the sentence reduction for his guilty plea should be less.
The prosecution appealed his sentence as unduly lenient to the Court of Appeal. It took a sterner line, holding that because his behaviour preceded his guilty plea it amounted to 'a deliberate falsehood' and was 'a serious aggravating feature' of his crimes. The court held that a reason for its doubling of Hall's sentence was to enable his victims to 'feel vindicated and find some peace'.
But in Clifford's appeal the court held that the sentencing judge was wrong to have adopted the approach taken with Hall. It said 'great care needs to be taken by sentencing courts not to elevate denials… into something deserving of further punishment in the absence of some more explicit traducing of the victim'.
One can easily see the court's distinction between Hall's attack-dog PR strategy and Clifford's approach which did not impugn his victims. The court was correct to recognise this. But it then held that while his sentence ought not to have been increased because of his conduct, this 'would of course justify a withholding of mitigation' because his claims of innocence and clowning behaviour showed a lack of remorse. On this basis it refused to reduce Clifford's sentence.
Is there a difference between deeming something an aggravating feature or holding that it justifies a smaller reduction in the sentence which otherwise would have been lower? In terms of the final outcome, actual jail-time, it is likely to be immaterial.
So, despite the court apparently distancing itself from the cynicism of the sentencing judge stemming from his perception that Clifford had shown a lack of respect to him, his court and the victims, it established this precedent: if an accused, despite the welter of character-destroying allegations made against them, which may then have been endlessly paraded by the media, does anything more active than maintaining a 'dignified silence' then they may properly be punished for this if they later plead guilty or are convicted by a jury.
Some may regard with alarm the establishment of this sentencing principle; essentially whether the defendant showed adequate respect for the criminal justice system. Bearing in mind the presumption of innocence, it seems inapt to hold that those who reiterate that by claiming to be so should be exposed to the risk of punishment.

Le Maître du Xénophon Hamilton désigne par convention un enlumineur actif à Florence entre 1470 et 1490. Il doit son nom à un manuscrit de la Cyropédie de Xénophon. Il appartient probablement à l'atelier de Francesco d'Antonio del Chierico.

Éléments biographiques et stylistiques

Le nom de convention a été créé par l'historienne de l'art italienne Annarosa Garzelli à partir du manuscrit de la Cyropédie de Xénophon peint pour Ferdinand Ier de Naples, autrefois propriété du collectionneur écossais Alexander Hamilton et aujourd'hui conservé au sein du Kupferstichkabinett de Berlin. D'après les miniatures de ce manuscrits, elle a constitué un corpus d'œuvres peintes entre 1470 et 1490.

L'artiste semble avoir été actif au sein de l'atelier de Francesco d'Antonio del Chierico à Florence jusqu'en 1478 avec qui il réalise notamment une partie de la décoration de la Bible de Frédéric de Montefeltro. Il est aussi à l'origine de la décoration d'une dizaine d'autres manuscrits destinés au même commanditaire, même si certaines de ces attributions sont depuis contestées. L'historien de l'art américain  a proposé de le confondre avec le début de la période d'activité d'Attavante degli Attavanti avec qui il a au moins collaboré.

Son style se caractérise par une capacité à combiner des compositions monumentales avec des rendus de textures propres à l'art flamand et de détails qui rappellent l'orfèvrerie. Sa technique, dans les personnages et l'harmonie des couleurs, semble indiquer qu'il était aussi un peintre de chevalet.

Staff Sergeant Alexander Lavell was awarded many medals for his service in conflicts including the Second World War, Korean War, Malayan Emergency, and the Vietnam War. These medals are mounted as Lavell wore them during his final years in the Australian Army and at ceremonies after his discharge. The medals include: the 1939-45 Star; the Africa Star; the Pacific Star; the Defence Medal; the British War Medal; The Australian Service Medal; The Korea Medal; the United Nations Service Medal with bar "KOREA"; the General Service Medal (1918-64) with bar "MALAYA"; the Vietnam Medal and the South Vietnam Government Medal with clasp "1960-". Pinned above the Korean War medals is the blue ribbon brooch with gold boarder of the US Presidential Unit Citation (PUC). Lavell served with 3rd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), at the Battle of Kapyong in April 1951. 3RAR was awarded the PUC for this action and those who fought in the battle could wear the PUC on their uniform for the rest of their service career regardless of which unit that served with subsequently.

It all began in April of 2014. It was Easter Sunday to be exact. I still made it to church that morning, but by the afternoon I was so weak and exhausted I needed a nap. A few hours later I woke up with a 40°C fever. The following days would mark the most pivoting point in the last 8 years. I had a lesson to learn, and God was about to teach it. He needed my full attention, and He finally got it.

City of Villans
Thread starter Raiderssuckass

Evil has its day in NCsoft's sequel to City of Heroes; preorders get beta access, two-day head start, more.
NCsoft today announced that City of Villains has gone gold and is on schedule to ship October 31. The game was developed by Cryptic Studios, an independent developer in Los Gatos, California, concentrating on massively multiplayer online games. The company also produced the prequel to City of Villains, City of Heroes.
Whereas City of Heroes lets gamers play caped crusaders defending the fictional metropolis of Paragon City, Villains does the opposite. Players create an evildoer bent on terrorizing the populace and battling the city's pesky superheroes.
NCsoft also announced that those who preorder the game from major retailers can help out in the beta testing of the game. Early adopters will also get access to the game two days early, in addition to a limited edition poster, an exclusive in-game item that varies from retailer to retailer, and a free 14-day trial for the purchaser and a friend.
City of Villains is rated T for Teen and will retail for $49.99, with a $14.95 per month subscription rate. Gamers who play both City of Heroes and City of Villains will only have to pay one $14.95 subscription fee. For more information, check out GameSpot's recent impressions of the game.
I've played City of Heros. I may get back into it again beacuse of of this expansion.

Is this a digital only release? I ask this, as I cannot see any physical disc release, on Amazon..
The game updates are digital download only. They're basically like patches.
I disagree. I still see many people buy discs.
Many do. But a lot of game content is purchased through the PlayStation and XBox online stores. In the case of Star Trek Online, the main game is a free download. FREE. And also free to play, but with the option of in-game purchases of additional content. No real point in them making physical discs.
Star trek online is such a lousy game (whatever you call it) though. The graphics are not great, the engine is a bit dated, so much fraustration. Star Trek deserves a really big game that taps into the core feelings of the shows and movies. Elite Force came closest to this, great Trek game, probably best ever made for Trek.
Was Elite Force the Voyager FPS? That thing was awesome. Best thing that came out of that show, hands-down.


The trip was for Wanda and Matt to go to Walt Disney World (Food & Wine Festival), Miami, Key West, and the Everglades National Park in Florida.
We made the Disney-related reservations for this trip through my sister, Lisa Klingenberger, who has started working part-time as a travel agent for Love The Mouse Travel (www.lovethemousetravel.com). This is the first time we have ever used a travel agent, since I like to plan the trips myself. However, Lisa did a great job making the arrangements for what we wanted to do. We made two reservations through the travel agency - All-Stars Music (October 18-24, 2013) and Art of Animation (November 1-3, 2013). The first reservation included the dining plan and 2 days of Magic Your Way tickets, but the second reservation was a resort only reservation.
We were selected by Disney, based on the Disney resorts we had reservations for, to be part of the testing for the new magic bands. We never saw emails from Disney about the test, but the option for customizing the Disney MagicBands suddenly appeared in the My Disney Experience app and website that I had been playing with. They did not give very much time to customize the bands, so I noticed the option on the last day for our first reservation and was able to make color selections for that pair of magic bands. I missed seeing the second set of magic bands until the day after the cut-off for our other reservation. We did receive the MagicBands for the first reservation within 2 days of making the color choices for the MagicBands. I actually did a limited test with my MagicBand on the business trip I made on September 29th by using it for admission after associating my annual pass to it.
I made the reservations for our other legs of the trip through the Holiday Inn website, the car reservation through Avis, along with buying some of the attraction/activity tickets through those websites. Originally, Wanda and I were both going to fly back to Houston on November 3rd, but my boss asked if I could go to our offices in Titusville following my vacation, so I made plans for the 3rd to drop Wanda off at the airport, swap the car out, drive up to Titusville on the 3rd and then fly back to Houston on the 8th.
We started the day early by leaving the house around 7 AM and having Conner drop us off at Hobby Airport in Houston. I had finally had enough Southwest Airlines' trips that I was on the A-List and we were able to use the special lane at the check-in counters. I wasn't sure if the TSA would allow Wanda to go through the special lane at the security check point, but when I asked, they said yes, so we got into line quickly. However, an alarm started sounding, so we ended up waiting in line there for about 10 minutes without being able to go through the machines. It turned out to be a false fire alarm.
We grabbed some breakfast at Wendy's after getting through security and then waited at the gate for our 9:30 AM flight to Orlando, Florida with an arrival time of 1:45 PM. We arrived a few minutes early in Orlando, got our luggage (we didn't get the Disney Magical Express tags before leaving for the trip) and headed to the other side of the airport for boarding Disney's Magical Express for the trip to Walt Disney World. We got the experience of using the MagicBands as we approached the check-in for Disney's Magical Express. One of the party (me) had to scan my MagicBand twice as part of the check-in process. Since we didn't receive our luggage tags, or expected associated paperwork, we didn't have anythign with us as we had in the past for boarding the bus, but it turned out that the MagicBands were all we needed since the trip was associated with the account. I wasn't too worried about it beforehand due to having made a trip before without the paperwork and knowing how easy it was to get what was needed once you get to the check-in area.
We were in line for less than 10 minutes (probably the quickest time I've spend waiting for the Magical Express bus), gave the luggage to the bus driver, boarded the bus, and relaxed for our trip to Disney's All-Star Music Resort. I had pre-checked-in online, so we went to the queue for that option, but the Cast Member still spent a lot of time explaining the process for some reason. We ended up spending 15-20 minutes talking to her where I thought we would be through in just a few minutes since we already had the MagicBands. The check-in later in the trip at the Art of Animation lasted less than 5 minutes. We were given the regular resort cards as backup to the MagicBands in case problems occurred or if we just didn't want to use the MagicBands.
When we left the resort's check-in area, we were stopped by another Cast Member and I was asked if I get do a survey, using a laptop set up on a table, about the My Disney Experience website and app. Having just arrived for this trip, pulling our luggage, I thought this was a little strange, but I had been playing with the site and app over the last month, so decided to do it. I had to keep remembering to grade on current capabilities, because the site and app vastly improved during that month of using it. I was over half way through the survey when a pop-up timer appeared saying that the system would be rebooting in 2 minutes. It was funny as the Cast Member and I hurried through the selections trying to beat the countdown. We finished with 3 seconds left.
We have stayed at the All-Star Resorts, especially the Music, many times in the past, so know the resort really well. We tend to stay at the value resorts due to us spending so little time actually at the resort when we visit.
The first difference was the scanners on the door locks. Pressing the MagicBand against the scanner unlocks the door, though it turns out that some scanners do a better job than others.
There was one of the new referigerators in the room which was a great improvement from my previous trip. This one actually cooled the items in it. Another improvement was the free Wi-Fi at the resorts and parks. After logging into the guest network with my iPad, the transition for each new location (other resorts or parks) was easy and didn't take any effort on my part. This is a new feature that I really enjoyed and it came in handy during our two visits to WDW.
We went back to the main hall and split a dish for a late lunch. We had our first table service reservations a few hours later (6:40 PM) at Sanaa in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so didn't want to get a lot of food at this time. Back to the room to clean up and then off for the bus trips. We selected one going to the Animal Kingdom park where we transferred to the bus going to the lodge. Since we had never been to the Kidani Village at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, we wanted to take some time to explore.


Kapiti musician AJ Crawshaw releasing new EP In Light and Shadow.
Kapiti musician AJ Crawshaw says he is looking forward to the release of his new EP titled In Light and Shadow.
"I'm excited to put on my EP Release show. The night will combine a variety of professional musicians from different disciplines together. There will be a conventional band put together with a choir, a cello player, mandolin, a grand piano and organ in a fantastic sounding environment."
AJ says it is all real musicians, playing real instruments. Not a single sample or digital sound in sight.
"There will improvised solos, huge songs and quiet intimate songs. The night will be a blend of pop, folk and rock songs. It's going to be an awesome experience."
