I just want to write a quick thing here on some of the things that Paul and Toby have been talking about cars. Ok I am not a gear head and it was boring interesting, but I do want to cover some subjects that I think that are pretty significant.
Beretta is threating to leave Maryland if the state is going to pass their magazine ban. They already sent there part of the company to Virginia. I say welcome to South Dakota! I know I would be pleased to at least have some parts for my 92 FS. Magpul is not far behind them if CO passes there version of anti-gun legislation, but they plan on going to Texas which isn't a bad place.
Also if you are flipping out worrying about ammunition, there is hope though. The TheTruthAboutGuns has a great article that has some information about that when there may be more ammunition available. Here are some ideas that may help you through this ammo drought shortage.
Reload. Big investment upfront, but great in the long haul. I know Paul and Toby covered this very well.
Collect your brass! Ok so you can't reload but still keep your brass! It is still worth some money. Yes this collection of brass may take a significant amount of time but it goes faster when you can collect yours and other people's (who leave it at the range). Make sure you check with your range officer what the policy is on brass.
Also there have been more firearms manufacturers boycotting NY and other anti-freedom states. The ncgunblog.com has an updated list of all of them. I am also proud to say that the company I am getting my suppressor from, Liberty Suppressors, joined recently! I am very happy I purchased from them. Keep an eye on this blog for a review.
My suppressor is coming along pretty well. My class 3 dealer got my checks for the suppressor and to the BATFE. I went the NFA trust route, which is really convenient for me. They also are helping me out with the paperwork. Now I just play the waiting game.
Posted in Blog Post	| Tagged Ammunition, Blog, Cool guy anyway, Mick Swagger, Reloading, Whining, Wishes he were here with us.
Frank Fiamingo talks about 5 calls for freedom, Raquel's On Target segment and Brains Imbecile of the Week. Paul and Toby talk about a wide variety of things.
On this episode Kathy Jackson comes back to talk training. Some of the topics covered are, are police really that much more effective than civilians when it comes to the use of firearms? How do you handle a massive adrenaline dump? And how important is practicing situational awareness?
After a few weeks and with a lot of searching and hoping I would not have to do a WordPress re-install (I didn't have to), we are back up and able to edit the site!
Look for a LOT of updates tomorrow and back on a regular schedule by the mid week episode next week.
Thank you to all of you who were so patient and continued to interact through the Facebook page!
We are proud to announce that M & M Pens and Things has signed on as a sponsor for the show. Kieth makes some amazing pens and I heartily endorse the products they offer.
Glen Tate stops by to help co-host the show and the topics range from his series of books to current political concerns to the tragic murder of Chris Kyle.

Maximum sensitivity based robust tuning for two-degree-of-freedom proportional-integral controllers
V. M. Alfaro, R. Vilanova, O. Arrieta
Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering
A tuning method for two-degree-of-freedom (2-DoF) proportional-integral (PI) controllers for first-order-plus-dead-time (FOPDT) models is presented. It allows the designer to deal with the closed-loop control system performance-robustness trade-off specifying the lowest robustness level allowed by selecting a maximum sensitivity in the 1.4-2.0 range. In addition, a smooth performance is obtained by forcing the regulatory and servo-control closed-loop transfer functions to perform as close as possible to a target nonoscillatory dynamics. Controller tuning rules are provided for FOPDT models with normalized dead-times from 0.1 to 2.0. Comparative examples show the effectiveness of the proposed tuning method. © 2010 American Chemical Society.

Reebok Toning bands enable you to create 'direct contact resistance' which means that by wrapping the bands around your arms and legs you can target both large and small muscles. This technique has been used by athletes and therapists for many years to get at those 'hard to reach' muscles.
Everybody's body is different so the best way to put your toning bands to work is to try lots of small movements on different muscles until you find a movement that is particularity challenging then keep repeating it until you improve.
We have made the bands extra wide so that when you wrap them around your hands or legs they stay flat rather than feeling tight and uncomfortable.

Retro game streaming platform Antstream Arcade lands Bandai Namco Entertainment partnership
Published on: 22nd September 2020
The streaming retro video game subscription service, Antstream Arcade, has struck up a deal with Bandai Namco Entertainment to deliver its library of classic retro titles, including Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug to gamers across the globe.
Under the new partnership, 27 Bandai Namco Entertainment titles will be added to Antstream's already expansive library of more than 1,000 fully licensed retro games. The new suite of Bandai games will be joining the likes of Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Double Dragon on the platform.
All games on Antstream Arcade's platform are streamable over any 4G connection or better, and available on almost any device, for the cost of a single flat monthly subscription.
Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream, said: "Having grown up playing games like Pac-Man, to be able to announce that we are partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment is hugely exciting. No library of classic retro games would be complete without Bandai Namco Entertainment's portfolio, and we could not be happier to be able to bring these games, and many more, to our thousands of players worldwide – along with new challenger modes and tournaments, updating them for a modern audience."
Yutaka Fuse, Pac-Man room manager of Bandai Namco Entertainment, said: "Antstream Arcade is the ideal partner for Bandai Namco Entertainment to bring its many classic games to both existing fans and new players.
"It underscores the potential of streaming games as an important part of the future of gaming in allowing players to instantly access a vast library of titles easily and legally, including many hidden gems of gaming history that may have been harder to play for the global network of retro gamers."
Bandai joins Antstream's long list of licensing partners such as Taito, SNK and Atari in providing their catalog of games to its expanding library of classics and curios. In addition to providing gaming rights holders an additional revenue stream from the use of their content, Antstream also provides a wealth of gameplay data to rights holders that want to know how their games are being played, by who and for how long so they can decide how to shape their franchises for audiences in the future.
Thanks to Antstream Arcade's streaming technology all of these games can be played on TVs, laptops, desktops, tablets and of course mobile phones – bringing more iconic games to a wider audience than any platform ever before.

 (HashMap)"
в строке:
                        hashmap = new HashMap<String, Object>();

I've been back in the states for just over a week now. It's been a week catching up with family and friends, coordinating events and schedules, and other stuff related to readjustment. As I've moved around the city, it's familiar in a different way. Businesses I used to frequent have moved. Luxury and boutique apartment buildings dot the city's streets. Electric scooters and electric-assist bikes help to move Washingtonians around the city.
One of the things that I looked forward to most when I was coming back was November Project. For those who don't know, November Project is a free fitness movement that started in Boston in November of 2011. Tribes in cities all over the world meet every Wednesday morning between 6 and 6:30 am, no matter what. I knew that in a city full of transients and constant change, November Project DC would be there. At the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday morning. The only requirement: just show up. I knew that I'd be greeted by cheery faces, high fives and hugs. I was late getting to the workout on Wednesday morning and it was much colder than SE Asia. But the tribe always makes it worth the early rising.
I was reminded of how out of shape I am. I was also reminded of how encouraging a group of people can be. It's good to be back. The above photo was taken by Matt at the start of Friday morning's workout.


rough in appearance but warm at heart.
After all, a quality of art is to express the spirit of outer space like ancient man's peaceful melodies.
Installed in Oawa shrine (in Kamiichinomiya) is a painting of a sun.
A sun that links closely with a moon.
The yellow of the moon is falling over the green of the Kamiyama forest like a breath of the sky.
Lying down in the fallow rice paddy, he seeded white radish sprouts to be grown and savoured.
Red and yellow. Getting up, he planted tulips.
Bravo to the missionary of beauty!

Top 10 largest oceans
ttop10 September 23, 2018 nature , 0 Comments
There are more than 100 sea all over the world, which extend from one end to the other. All these oceans are only part of the five oceans of the world. These are separated from each other by partial space. For easy introduction, they are often known as country or islands near them. Like the Aquatic part of the Pacific Ocean near Japan, 'Japan Sea' and part of the Indian Ocean located near the Bengal state of India, it is known as 'the Bay of Bengal'.
Now let us know some important facts about the top 10 largest oceans. This list has been prepared by gathering information from many sources. If you have any other important information, please notify us via email so that the article can be given in more detail -
Philippines Sea
The Philippines Sea is the world's largest ocean. It is a marginal sea situated in the north-east of the Philippines, which falls in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. The deepest place on this earth also falls in the Mariana Trench (Mariana Trench) under the same sea. Philippines and Taiwan on the west of the Philippines Sea, Japan in the north, Mariana in the east and Palau Island in the south. Situated near this, Makassar Sagar and Celebus Sea are the main ones.
Area - The total area of the Philippines Sea is 5,695,000 sq km and its average depth is 4,108 meters.
Islands - Philippines are the main islands in the ocean - Bonn Island, Halamahara, Homonohon, Honshu and Kyushu Islands.
Animals - Sea snakes, octopus, whales, sharks, and eels in the Philippines Sea, along with a sea snake are also found among the most poisonous snakes in the world.
Coral Sea, which is the world's second largest sea, is a seaside sea in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is located in the north-east of the Australian coast. This sea is known for its warm and stable living climate. Apart from this, frequent rainfall and tropical cyclones also show its specific geographical location. Queensland to the west, Vanuatu in the east and New Caledonia and Solomon Islands are located in the far south.
It is located in the north-west of Papua's creek. It is found in Tasman Sea in the south, Solomon Sea in the north and the Pacific Ocean in the east. The world famous mangrove rock Great Barrier Reef is also located in the region of this ocean.

Apart from this, 1500 species of fish and 17 species of sea snakes have also made Coral Sea their habitat.
The Arabian Sea
The Arabian Sea is the world's third largest ocean. It is only part of the northern Indian Ocean, in the northeast of the Indian peninsula, in the west, Somalia and Arabian Peninsula in the north, Pakistan and Iran and Maldives is located in Kaushin. The Arabian Sea has also been known as the Sea of Persia and the Arathrayan Sea. The Arabian Sea is connected to the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden.
Because this is a large aquatic trading route. Major ports under it are Kandla, Mumbai, Marmagao, Kochi, Gwadar and Chabahar. India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Somalia, Yemen and the Maldives are the countries of the Arabian Sea.
Area - The total area of the Arabian Sea is 3,862,000 square kilometers (1,491,000 square miles). Its maximum depth is 4,652 meters and the maximum width is 2,400 km.
Islands - Astola Island, Durga Islands, Piram Island and Lakshadweep are the main islands falling in the Arabian Sea.
Animals - The smallest species of whales in the Arabian Sea, catfish, cardinalfish, dolphins, sea turtles in addition to sperm whales.
China Sea
South China Sea is a marginal sea which is only part of the Pacific Ocean. Its area stretches from the Straits and Malacca Strait to the Taiwan Strait. The South China Sea's water transport sector is the second most important waterway in the world. One-third of the world's shipping passes through this ocean, through which the business is about $ 3 trillion per annum. Apart from this, a large reservoir of oil and gas is also suppressed under its seabed (sea level).
According to the International Hydrographic Organization, the South China Sea is located in the south of China, east of Vietnam, west of the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, north of Sumatra and Borneo. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Vietnam are the countries of the ocean boundaries.
Area - The total area of South China Sea is 3,500,000 square kilometers (1,352,000 square miles). Its maximum depth is 5, 559 meters.
Islands - Fiery Cross Reef, Woody Island, Scarborough Showal, Spratley, Parsal and Pratas Islands, are the main islands falling in the South China Sea. There are about 250 islands in it.
Animals - this is the reason that approximately 3365 species of fish are found here. In 2012, the amount of fish that was caught in the entire world was 12 percent contributing to the total amount of 22 billion dollars. Apart from this, sharks, stingres, sea turtles, etc. are also found in it.
Wendell Sea
Wendell Sea is part of the Southern Ocean, and it lies between these latitudes 73 ° S and 45 ° W. Scotland's sailor James Weddell, who first discovered this ocean in 1923, is known only by the name of this ocean. It is surrounded by the Antarctic Peninsula of West Antarctica in the West and East of Antarctica's Kat's Land. The southernmost part of the Wadeel Sea is covered with a permanent and highly thick layer of ice, known as the Filchner-Ronn Ice shelf.
Wendel Sea's water is considered the cleanest of all the ocean on this earth. In 1986, a team of Dutch scientists took a sample of water from a depth of 80 meters, which was pure like the Distilled Water at the time of the examination. Other seas engaged in the Wadeel Sea are Lazarev Sagar, Scotia Sea and Billinghausen Sea.
Area - The total area of the Waddell Sea is 2,800,000 square kilometers (1,080,000 square miles). Its maximum width is 2000 km.
Islands - Waddel is the main island falling in the ocean - Seymour Island, Snow Hill Island, Devil Island and Half Moon Island
Animals - There is abundance of whales and seals in the Weddel Sea, with Killer Whale, Humpback Whale, Mink Whale and Leopard Seals main. Apart from this, there is also a special species of penguin Adeli Penguin which is now practiced for its harsh environment. Wildlife photographers from around the world come to see a glimpse of the rare creatures found here.
The Caribbean Sea
The Caribbean Sea is the sixth largest ocean in the world. It belongs to the Western Hemisphere and is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Its west to Mexico, in the south-west of central America, Cuba in the east, Lesser Antilles in the north and the North coast of South America's continent in Dashim. Its average depth is 2200 meters. The whole region of the Caribbean Sea and various islanders of the West Indies that fall into this are known as the Caribbean. The credit of discovering this sea also goes to Columbus, who, through this, had reached America in the year 1492 of India's deception.
Because the Caribbean Sea is one of the world's largest salamander, so too many bays in its area, including the Venezuelan, Paria and Honduras Gulf heads. After the Great Barrier Reef, the world's second largest formation of coral is also found in this ocean, known as Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It is about 1000 km long.
Many hurricanes and cyclones that bring catastrophe in North America are also born from this ocean. The Caribbean Sea is the center of tourist attractions around the world. According to the Caribbean Tourism Organization, more than 10 million people reach the joy of the weather here every year. Apart from this, it is also one of the largest oil producing areas in the world.
Area - The total area of the Caribbean Sea is 2,754,000 square kilometers (1,063,000 square miles). Located near Jamaica, Cayman Trough with a depth of 7,686 meters is the deepest point in the ocean.
Islands - The main island falling in the Caribbean Sea - St. Martin Antigua and San Andres Island.
Animals - More than 1000 species of fish are found in the Caribbean Sea, mainly in sharks, flying fish, ocean ocean rays, ternopones and eels. Most species of shark fishes have been seen here, which include Bull Shark, Tiger Shark and Silky Shark. In addition, 90 species of mammals, 500 species of reptiles and 600 species of birds are also found in the Caribbean region. Many species of sea turtles, toxic and tree frogs are also found here.
The Mediterranean Sea is the seventh largest sea in the world. It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by the site part from around. In response to this, Europe is the continent of Africa in the south and Asia in the east. It would not be advisable to accept this ocean as part of the Atlantic, because geological surveys show that it was separated from the Atlantic Ocean approximately 59 million years ago. Although the Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic through the Treaty of Gibraltar, this strait is only 14 km wide.
This treaty also separates Europe from Africa. One of the world's most important ship canals, the Suez Canal, which is in its southeast, connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The Mediterranean Sea water area was one of the most important trading waterways of the ancient times.
Area - The total area of the Mediterranean Sea is 2,510,000 square kilometers (970,000 square miles). Its average depth is 1,500 meters and the maximum depth is 5,267 meters. This place is known as Calypso Deep.
Islands - There are more than 3,300 islands in the Mediterranean Sea, with Rhodes, Chios, Corfu, Samos, Crete, Sicily, and Malta being the main ones. The boundaries of more than 50 countries meet this ocean, including Egypt, Albania, Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Israel, Turkey, Monaco, Cyprus and Croatia are the major countries.
Animals - Dolphins, logarhead sea turtles, sardines, sordfish, monk seals and sea crab are prominent among the organisms found in the Mediterranean Sea. With less water supply and more vaporization of water, the water of the Mediterranean is gradually becoming saline, due to which the clouds of distress are on the rise of many aquatic organisms.
Tasman Sea is the only seaside sea in the South Pacific Ocean and the world's oldest ocean. It is located between Australia and New Zealand countries. The name of this sea is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who discovered Australia's Tasmania Island and New Zealand. Its north is the Coral Sea, the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Southern Ocean in the south and the Bas Strait in the west. Many major cities of Australia and New Zealand have settled along the banks of the Tasman Sea, which are the main areas of Wolfgang, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington and Hobart.
Area - Tasman Sea has a total area of 2,300,000 square kilometers (888,000 square miles). Its maximum length is 2,800 km and the maximum width is 2,200 km.
Islands - The main islands located in Tasman Sea - Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Middleton Reef and Elizabeth Reef.
Animals - Hundreds of species of fish including dolphins, star fish, whales, octopus, sea snakes and sea turtles are found in the deep water of the Tasman Sea.
The Bering Sea
The Bering Sea is also the marginal ocean of the Pacific Ocean. It is isolated from Alaska Bay by the Alaska Peninsula. In the east and northeast of America, the Alaska State of America, the Far East of Russia in the west and Kamchatka Peninsula, the Alaska Peninsula in the south and the Aleutian Archipelago and the Baring Strait in the far north. Bering Strait connects this ocean with the sea of arctic ocean.
In 1728, a Dutch explorer, Withers Bering, discovered this ocean. The main areas of the Bering Sea include Bering Strait, Bristol Bay, Norton Sound and Gulf of Anadir. This ocean is very important for the US and Russia, because they get about 2 billion dollars of fish per year from this sea water.
Area - The total area of the Bering Sea is 2,261,100 km² (8,729,00 square miles). Its maximum length is 2,800 km and the maximum width is 2,200 km.
Islands - The main islands located in the Bering Sea - Island of Konderskey, King Island, Nunnuck Islands, Karaginski Island, St. Lawrence Island and Pribiloff Islands.
Animals - There are 419 species of fish in the Bering Sea, as well as 30 species of Seabird (sea birds). Apart from these, the largest species of crab, King Crab, Walrus, Sea Lion, Fur Seal, Polar Bear and Orca are also the main creatures of the Bering Sea aquatic region. But the main feature of this ocean is due to the many species of fish in the whale, including the Beluga whale, humpback whale, gray whale, blue whale, sperm whale, fin whale, sea whales and whales, the most rare species in the world. Pacific Right Whale '.
The Bay of Bengal
The Bay of Bengal is the world's largest bay. The main source of water coming in is the main rivers of India, which are the main rivers Ganga, Jamuna, Brahmaputra, Godavari, Iravadi, Mahanadi, Krishna and Kaveri. The Bay of Bengal is surrounded by the Indian subcontinent in the west, north-west and east direction. In its north is Bangladesh, Myanmar in the northeast, Indonesia in the south-east and Sri Lanka in the far south. The maximum length of the Bay of Bengal is 2,090 km and the maximum width is 1,610 km. The name of this vast Gulf is due to the Bengal state of India.
In ancient times, it was also called Mahadhi. It is believed that once the Bay of Bengal was deeper than the Mariana Trench, which is today the deepest place in the world. But due to the Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers deposited in the 100 million tonnes of sediments which accumulate in it every year, its depth is greatly reduced. Visakhapatnam, Kolkata, Chennai, Haldia, Chittagong and Kakinada are the main ports located on the Bay of Bengal.
Area - The total area of the Bay of Bengal is 2,172,000 sq km (839,000 square miles). Its average depth is 2600 meters. The deepest part of the Bay of Bengal is about 4,694 meters deep.
Islands - The main islands are located in the Bay of Bengal - Andaman and Nicobar islands, Mergui and Cheduba Islands.
Animals - Many species of fish in the Bay of Bengal along with sea turtle (Olive Ridley), Humpback dolphins, tuna, whales and sea snakes are also found. Apart from these, there are several coral reefs. About 60 lakh tonnes of fish are caught annually from the Bay of Bengal.

On Intermodal Competition for Broadband, the FCC's Competition Report Falls Short
On January 24, Free State Foundation published Senior Fellow Andrew Long's Perspectives from FSF Scholars, "On Video, the FCC's Competition Report Falls Short." In that incisive paper, Mr. Long focuses on the 2022 Marketplace Competition Report's treatment of the competitive market and Commission policy for video programming distribution. The evidence of video programming distribution market transformation brought about by the observable ongoing subscriber declines for multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) services and by continuing increases in subscriptions for Internet-based alternatives is overwhelming. This transformation has uprooted the perceived analog cable distribution bottleneck upon which the legacy video regulatory apparatus depended. Yet many outdated restrictions on MVPD services remain firmly in place. And Mr. Long makes a strong case that the FCC's report is not fully compliant with the RAY BAUM's Act of 2018's requirements that the Commission identify laws and regulations that pose barriers to competitive expansion of existing providers of communications services and that the agency lay out an agenda for addressing those challenges.
But there is another area in which the FCC's 2020 report comes up short: assessing intermodal competition in the broadband Internet services market. As acknowledged by the report, the RAY BAUM's Act states: "As part of its evaluation, the Commission must consider all forms of competition, including 'the effect of intermodal competition, facilities-based competition, and competition from new and emergent communications services.'" Yet the report never engaged in any substantive assessment of the effects of competition across different broadband technology platforms. Perhaps the closest the report gets is in paragraph 157, which touches on wireline/wireless substitutability:
Many households continue to subscribe to both fixed and mobile broadband service, suggesting that these separate services offer benefits that are either complementary or independent of each other. Technological innovation in and increased deployment of both the mobile wireless and fixed broadband services markets have broadened consumers' possible choices of how to access the Internet.
This shortcoming of the 2022 report is the subject of Commissioner Brendan Carr's statement partially approving and partially concurring in the report:
When we adopted the Commission's prior Communications Marketplace Report in 2020, I voted to approve in part and concur in part because, in my view, we could have gone further in recognizing the converged market for connectivity. I continue to have that view this go around.
FSF's comments to the FCC for its 2020 Communications Marketplace Report also called for a shift away from the siloed approach to discrete service technologies and toward a more serious intermodal competition assessment. To that end, FSF scholars recommended that the Commission adopt a product market definition that encompasses different technologies that provide broadband Internet services. (Those same views were expressed in short form in comments filed by FSF for the 2022 report.) FSF's comments for the 2020 report regarding intermodal competition assessments could double as a critique of the 2022 report, as competition from and among fiber, 5G, FWA, and cable MVNOs continues to increase.

The Latest on State Cable Bill Prorating Requirements
There have been two recent developments of note regarding legal challenges to state-level requirements that cable operators prorate customers' last-month bills – obligations that, as I argued in "State Cable Bills Prorating Requirements Clearly Are Preempted," an April 2021 Perspectives from FSF Scholars, constitute a form of rate regulation preempted by the 1984 Cable Act, not an otherwise permissible customer service standard or consumer protection law.
Both Maine and New Jersey require that cable operators – but not any of the countless other distributors of video programming, whether facilities-based (such as the two Direct Broadcast Satellite operators, DIRECTV and DISH Network, or telco TV providers, like Verizon FiOS) or streamed over the Internet (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and so on) – bill canceling customers on a per-day basis during their final month of service.
In "Maine Cable Law, Ignoring Competition, Is 'Unambiguously Preempted'," an October 2020 Perspectives, I reported that the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine had found the Maine statute to be "unambiguously preempted." The Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, however, reversed that decision on January 4, 2022. For more information, please see "First Circuit Wrongly Concludes Maine's Prorated Billing Requirement Is Not Unlawful."
And last week, on January 9, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it had denied Charter Communications' petition for certiorari.
New Jersey's "virtually identical" rule likewise, and for similar reasons, was deemed preempted by the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, in an October 15, 2021, unpublished opinion. I discussed this decision in "NJ State Court Concurs: Requirement to Prorate Cable Bills Equals Preempted Rate Regulation," a contemporaneous post to the Free State Foundation blog.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and Division of Rate Counsel appealed to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which held oral arguments on Tuesday (subscription required). Should the lower court decision be reversed, this case potentially could make its way to the Supreme Court.
A decision is expected as early as late next month.

Report Spotlights Economic Value and Jobs Created by U.S. Copyright Industries
On December 14, the International Intellectual Property Association (IIPA) published "Copyright Industries in the U.S. Economy: The 2022 Report." The report analyzes the contributions to the U.S. economy between 2018 and 2021 by "core copyright industries" whose primary purpose is to create, produce, distribute, or exhibit copyrighted materials.
According to IIPA's 2022 report:
In 2021, core copyright industries added over $1.8 trillion in value to the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), amounting to 7.76% of the U.S. economy.
Core copyright industries employed 9.6 million workers in 2021, comprising 5.53% of total private employment in the U.S.
Between 2018 and 2021, core copyright industries grew at an aggregate annual rate of 6.15%, an amount three times higher than the average annual 1.76% growth rate of the entire U.S. economy during that four-year timespan.
Core copyright industries accounted for 52.26% of the U.S. digital economy in 2021.
Sales of U.S. copyright products in "selected" core industry sectors – recorded music; motion pictures, TV, and video; software publishing; and non-software publications including newspapers, books, and periodicals – amounted to $230.3 billion in 2021, an increase.
IIPA's 2022 report also estimates the value of economic contributions by "total" copyright industries in the U.S., including industries in which copyrighted goods are only an aspect of their businesses as well as industries that facilitate the creation and production of copyrighted works and industries that develop computers and other devices that support usage of copyrighted goods. According to the report, the value added to GDP by total copyright industries was more than $2.9 trillion, or 12.52% of the U.S. economy.
In our book, Modernizing Copyright Law for the Digital Age: Constitutional Foundations for Reform (Carolina Academic Press, 2020), Free State Foundation President Randolph and I credit the wisdom of the American Founders in according copyright protections to authors and other creative artists in the U.S. Constitution's Article I, Section 8 Copyright Clause. As we explain in chapter 3 of our book, those constitutional protections rest on a foundational understanding of copyrights as unique forms of private property that can be used and exchanged in a free market setting. IIPA's 2022 report shows that the American public, including the creators who make their living by creating, performing, and selling copyrighted content, continue to benefit greatly from the Founders' constitutional policy favoring copyright protections.

FCC Submits Report to Congress on Robocalls and Caller ID Scams
On December 23, the FCC submitted to Congress the latest version of its Report on Robocalls and Transmission of Misleading or Inaccurate Caller Identification Information. The annual report is required by the TRACED Act. It contains data regarding informal consumer complaints to the FCC regarding robocalls, Commission enforcement actions, and an overview of private efforts to combat unwanted and harmful robocalls.
The report cites data indicating 37,736 informal consumer complaints were filed at the FCC regarding robocalls during the first eleven months of 2022. Thus, it appears likely that informal complaints about robocalls were slightly lower in all of 2022 compared to a year prior. There were 46,189 such complaints in 2021. Also, the report cites data indicating that 37,752 informal complaints regarding caller ID spoofing were filed in the first eleven months of 2022, indicating that yearly total for such complaints was notably less than the 57,075 complaints filed in 2021. (Note: A single filed complaint can involve more than one reported instance of an illegal robocall or a call from a spoofed ID.)
Among the actions taken by the FCC in 2022 to combat unwanted and illegal robocalls – many of which originate from foreign countries – the report acknowledged the Commission's 2022 Gateway Provider Order. The order requires gateway providers to respond to traceback requests within 24 hours, block calls that clearly are conduits for illegal voice traffic, and implement "known your upstream obligations." Under the order, gateway providers are required to apply STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication technology to all unauthenticated foreign-originated session-initiated protocol (SIP) calls with U.S. North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbers by June 30, 2023.
Regarding private efforts to combat robocalls and caller ID spoofing, the report provided an overview of the progress of the Industry Traceback Group to identify the path and origin of illegal robocalls in order to stop them. According to the report:
[B]etween January 1, 2022 and November 21, 2022, the Industry Traceback Group initiated over 2,600 tracebacks, a traceback initiation rate which is 10% higher than in 2021 and 20% higher than in 2020. The Industry Traceback Group also played a key role in combating the scourge of illegal robocalling campaigns from foreign-based providers. In addition to identifying 146 U.S.-based providers suspected of originating apparently illegal robocalls, the Industry Traceback Group also identified 82 foreign-based originating providers and 145 U.S. gateway providers.
Additionally, the report notes that the Industry Traceback Group is working with providers to incorporate STIR/SHAKEN into the traceback process. Hopefully, the expanded implementation of STIR/SHAKEN and traceback efforts will further curb illegal robocalls.
However, it ought to be recognized that STIR/SHAKEN's utility is likely limited to the context of voice calls made using NANP numbers – and that it is not a technology that ought to be imposed by administrative agency rule on providers of text messaging services.
That basic point is made in my January 4, 2023 Perspectives from FSF Scholars, "Innovation Will Protect Consumers From Illegal Text Messages Better Than New FCC Rules." As explained in that paper, the FCC has proposed a blocking and caller ID requirement on wireless providers for text messaging services despite the fact that there does not appear to be any solid evidence that text messages from invalid, unallocated, or unused numbers are a problem for wireless consumers. Wireless providers already provide up-front vetting for would-be senders of mass text messages. It is unlikely that such a costly mandate actually would reduce the volume of illegal robotexts and protect consumers. And although the Commission's notice of proposed rulemaking appears to favor requiring the STIR/SHAKEN to combat illegal texts, even the agency acknowledges that the technology doesn't exist for text messaging services. Voice and text messaging technologies are different, and so it should be no surprise that the best solutions to combatting illegal robocalls and robotexts also are different. For more details, see my Perspectives.

Google's YouTube Scores Rights to NFL Sunday Ticket
Late last year, it was announced that, beginning with the 2023 National Football League season, Google's YouTube will be the exclusive home of the NFL Sunday Ticket game package. This represents a watershed moment in the rapidly transforming video programming distribution marketplace.
For the past 28 years, the NFL Sunday Ticket has been available only to subscribers of the DIRECTV Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service, a traditional, facilities-based multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD). And for much of that time, it served as a potent customer-acquisition tool for DIRECTV, a key product differentiator vis-à-vis other traditional MVPDs (cable operators, DISH Network, telco TV providers) well worth the $1.5 billion in licensing fees DIRECTV reportedly paid annually.
In "Pixel by Pixel, Video Streaming's Ascension Comes Into Focus," a September 2021 Perspectives from FSF Scholars, I noted that two other Big Tech titans, Amazon and Apple, had emerged as potential bidders for the NFL Sunday Ticket and recounted the significance of that package in the pre-streaming era:
When most consumers subscribed to one – and only one – package of primarily live, linear cable and broadcast channels from a facilities-based MVPD, DIRECTV's longstanding exclusive agreement to distribute the NFL Sunday Ticket was seen as the quintessential example of "must-have" content, a crown jewel able to win customers from rival distributors. So much so that in 2014, AT&T's offer to acquire DIRECTV for $48.5 billion hinged upon the DBS provider's ability to renew its deal with the NFL.
By early 2020, however, the landscape had changed dramatically, thanks in large part to the immense popularity of streaming video. DIRECTV had lost more than 4 million subscribers over the previous two years, the NFL Sunday Ticket had become a "money loser," and AT&T was looking to exit the video distribution business altogether – a step it took in August 2021.
The agreement between the NFL and Google provides further evidence of the steady consumer migration away from traditional MVPDs and toward video streaming in all of its forms: beginning next fall, the NFL Sunday Ticket will be offered, not by a DBS, cable, or telco TV provider, but rather by a virtual MVPD (vMVPD) – YouTube TV – and an Online Video Distributor (OVD) – YouTube Primetime Channels.

Cox Mobile Gives Consumers Another Choice for Wireless Services
On January 5, Cox Communications announced the launch of Cox Mobile. The mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service is available to its Internet subscribers in Cox's geographic markets. It is reported that Cox Mobile harnesses over 4 million Cox Wi-Fi hot spots in combination with Verizon's 5G cellular network.
As pointed out in blog posts from May, September, and October 2022, consumer adoption of cable wireless MVNO services that are bundled with fixed residential cable broadband Internet access services continues to grow. The launch of Cox Mobile is another indicator of the competitiveness of the wireless marketplace. Consumers living in Cox's footprint will now gain an additional choice for mobile wireless services.
Notably, these hybrid-model cable wireless MVNOs are not mere resellers. They rely, in substantial part, on their own network facilities. And it is widely expected that these competitive cable wireless MVNOs will put more of their own licensed spectrum into use and thereby reduce their business costs for leasing wholesale access to mobile cellular networks. In 2023, it will be interesting to watch the technological development of these emergent services as well as consumer responses.

Judy Rafat – Biography
Judy Rafat, Canadian protegé and friend of the world famous bebop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, is undoubtedly one of the best jazz singers of our time. Judy offers enthusiastic listeners a colourful fireworks of bossa nova, swing, latin, blues and, of course, bebop. She posesses a voice truly unique in its combination of intimacy and strength, enabling a range of expression that has touched the hearts and souls of her fans the world over. Judy Rafat grew up in a musical family and began singing at an early age. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in music, she toured Europe before settling in Germany and embarking on a career as a folk singer. For her artistry and social commitment, she received a great deal of attention and many accolades in all areas of the media. 1986 brought a turning point in her career with the discovery of her love for a very special direction in music, namely jazz. Her love for this genre was sparked in New York in an unforgettable meeting with Dizzy Gilespie, one of the most important and greatest jazz musicians of all time. It was Dizzy Gillespie who, together with Charlie Parker, was the creator of bebop, a new revolutionary direction in the history of jazz. Judy and Dizzy became close friends and remained so until his death in 1993. Judy's fruitful cooperation with Dizzy began in 1989, when she was asked to perform with her quintet as Dizzy's opening act for concerts in East Berlin, Moscow and Prague. This was followed by tours through Poland, Bulgaria, Rumania, Russia, Lithuania, Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. In 1994 she was appointed as an instructor in vocal jazz at the Mercator University in Duisburg. Shortly thereafter, she began intstructing the fine art of jazz singing to enthusiastic students at the University of Essen. The year 1996 brought Judy public acclaim once again through appearances together with the Dave Brubeck Quintet. She had now achieved her breakthrough and was in demand worldwide. The secret of her success lies in her ability to appeal to a wide audience with a varied repertoire and a dynamic stage presence. She has been described by critics as a strong improviser, with a voice powerful enough to soar over any combo or big band. Her choice of repertoire shows that she wants to convey a special message to her listeners. For example, with the piece "Brother K – a Tribute to Martin Luther King" by Dizzy Gillespie. Judy's inimitable style and expressive artistry give her the means to reach out and truly move her audience. In 1997, she waas invited by Jon Faddis, to perform with a star studded ensemble in Englewood, New York at the 80th Birthday Celebration of Dizzy Gillespie. This was followed in 1999 by a further climax in her musical development with the release of her CD "CON ALMA", a tribute to Dizzy Gilespie. This album is devoted solely to the compositions of Dizzy Gillespie. "Con Alma" represents a milestone in Judy's career and is an impressive expression of her exceptional artistry. The list of musicians who contributed to the success of this recording reads like a "who's who" of the jazz world: Kenny Barron (Piano), Frank Wess (Tenor saxophone and flute), Rufus Reid (Bass), Ignacio Berroa (Drums), Claudio Roditi (Trumpet, Flugelhorn), Mike Longo (Piano and musical director), Paquito d`Rivera (Alto Saxophone, Clarinet) as well as John Lee (Bass). In the liner notes to her CD Slide Hampton wrote: "Here's a true voice coming straight from the heart … the compositions of Dizzy Gillespie require a high quality of singing. Judy has passed it with excellent intonation and phrasing. What a range, what a precision! She really sounds like an instrument. She sings of a theme close to her heart – love and support of oppressed people because of prejudice of skin colour or nationality." Judy Rafat has sung to the enthusiastic reception of discerning audiences in the world's best hotels. Especially noteworthy: her long engagements in China in 1999 and 2000, where she dazzled audiences in six month engagements in both the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Shanghai – e.g. with Wynton Marsalis – and "The Big Easy" in Peking. In the same year, 1999, Judy was approached by the German Ministry for the Environment with a request to produce a special CD for the initiative "Women and Agenda 21". She gladly accepted, composing the title-song, "women of the world", and several other pieces of her own. The success of this CD further underscored her great versatility. Since 2000, Judy Rafat has devoted herself extensively to pedagogical activities. She founded her own "School of Vocal Music" where she can pursue one of her most heartfelt desires: to pass on to her students that which she herself has learned in the course of a long and varied career. In 2001 a close and fruitful collaboration with Thomas Rückert began that has developed into an intensive musical experience. Likewise the founding of her quintet(2003) with Olaf Polziehn (Piano), Henning Gailing (Bass), Hendrik Smock (drums) and Lothar van Staa (Saxophone). With this team she recorded the album "Pure Inspiration" in 2005, which was followed by numerous performances throughout Europe. Judy received a great deal of recognition in 2006 during her "A Tribute to Dizzy Gillespie" tour. She is the only jazz singer in the world with a program exclusively devoted to the works of the great master who was her mentor and friend. In the same year she appeared in front of an international audience as part of a six-month engagement at the Shangrila Hotel in Singapore, as well as the local jazz club Southbridge.


The San Xavier del Bac Mission is a historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles south of downtown Tucson, Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation. I visited this area in the spring of 2013 and stopped in at the mission to capture some images. I had visited this area before when I was shooting B&W film and thought the mission was a good candidate for color digital photography.
The history behind the mission is quite interesting. It was founded in 1692 by Father Eusebio Kino and named after Francis Xavier, a Jesuit missionary. Construction on the new church began in 1700 until it was destroyed by the Apache in 1770. Today's mission was built in the late 1700's and is the oldest European structure in Arizona. The Mission is a pilgrimage site, with thousands visiting each year on foot and on horseback.
This image was taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III using my EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM set on 24 mm. The camera was set on Aperture priority mode with the aperture set at f/16, shutter speed at 1/20. The facility is very dark so I had to shoot at ISO 12800. I used a sturdy tripod as well. I took a series of 3 bracketed photos and did my post-processing in Photomatix, Lightroom and Photoshop.

4-year-old runs into the arms of Michael Myers in video gone viral

A little girl's reaction to Michael Myers making an appearance at her fourth birthday party is bringing millions into the Halloween spirit.
The moment was recently caught on video as Aria Alvarado was surprised by the fictional slasher film character who crept from behind a bush in his familiar mask and classic blue jumpsuit.
Mom Rose Alvarado posted the footage onto Twitter and TikTok showing Aria's excitement as Myers greets her. Alvarado told Fox News that her daughter is a huge fan of all-things Halloween, as well as the Michael Myers character.
"Over time, I'd buy her little trinkets that had [featured] Michael Myers," Alvarado said. "It's not like she watches the movies religiously…I guess she just liked him as a character. It's pretty innocent. She doesn't mean any harm by it."

Alvarado said she hosted a costume party for Aria's birthday this year, so her husband Daniel decided to dress as Myers.
"He said, 'I'm going to surprise her and come around the corner and see if she notices," Alvarado said, adding that she played the theme song from the movie "Halloween," in which Myers appears.
Aria went viral on social media as she ran towards the frightening Myers, and not away from him, with many praising the child for her bravery in the comments section.

Other users criticized Alvarado's parenting for exposing Aria to horror movie characters.
"She's trending for being herself," Alvarado defended. "Even us, we weren't expecting that reaction from her."

Alvarado said Aria also takes a liking to Sam from "Trick 'r Treat," and the characters from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
For a Halloween costume Aria is still deciding between an astronaut, Batgirl and a witch.

Protesters and police clash in northern Morocco
Protesters gather in Al-Hoceima, Morocco, where activists have been calling for their protest leader Nasser Zefzafi to be released (AFP Photo/FADEL SENNA)
Protesters clashed with security forces in Morocco\'s Al-Hoceima early on Saturday, an AFP correspondent reported, after more than a week of protests in the northern province.
The violence broke out in the town of Imzouren after police tried to stop demonstrators from gathering, activists said.
Dozens of youths wearing balaclavas threw stones at security forces, who responded with tear gas, the correspondent said.
The clashes ended before dawn, with the police deploying around 50 vehicles in the area.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties.
Last Saturday, both sides had also clashed in the town, some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the city of Al-Hoceima, a centre of social unrest since the gruesome death of a fishmonger there last year.
Mouhcine Fikri, 31, was crushed to death in a rubbish truck in October as he tried to prevent the destruction of swordfish which had been confiscated because it was caught out of season.
Calls for justice in Morocco\'s neglected Rif region have since snowballed into a grassroots movement demanding jobs and an end to corruption, dubbed Al-Hirak Al-Shaabi, or Popular Movement.
Protesters have rallied nightly in Al-Hoceima since the arrest on May 29 of Al-Hirak leader Nasser Zefzafi and the subsequent detention of dozens of other activists.
Late Friday, more than 1,000 demonstrators — mostly young men and women, some with children — gathered in Al-Hoceima under a heavy police presence to call for Zefzafi and fellow activists to be freed.
Participants cleaned the streets as the protest came to an end shortly before midnight (2400 GMT).
The mainly Berber Rif region has long had a tense relationship with the central authorities in Rabat, and it was at the heart of the Arab Spring-inspired protests in Morocco in February 2011.
King Mohamed VI relinquished some of his near-absolute control through constitutional reforms following the 2011 protests.

Sven Grooten, B-architecten: "In our reflection room, it's not about taste or being right, but being proven right"

In this video Sven Grooten, general director of B-architecten, speaks about the start, the evolution and the vision of the architectural office.


On Sunday 5th May the Oban Saints U14s took part in their annual fundraising activity. This year they decided to do something a bit different and ran in the local ABCD (Argyll Beats Cardiovascular Disease) 10K event. On the day of the event all 26 members of the squad completed the course in strong winds and heavy rain but were well supported by a good number of parents and other well wishers.
The Oban Saints youth teams compete in the Dumbarton Football Development Leagues (DFDL) and have teams in each age group from U16s to U13s and also operate development groups at primary school age. Oban Saints hold the Community Award through the SFA quality mark scheme and have recently entered into a partnership agreement with Oban High School. This will help enable all youngsters in the area that would like to participate in football have access to coached sessions regardless of ability.
Due to the fact that the teams have to travel to play competitive football this means that there are significant running costs and as such the teams have to carry out various fundraising activities. When the players of the U14s were asked what they would like to do this year, one of them suggested the annual 10k run. It was discussed and agreed that the boys would have to take part in a 6 week training program in the build up to the event to ensure that they were prepared for the run. Each and every one of the players showed great commitment to the event and impressed local people were soon talking about the boys being seen about the town "out for a run". This made it a bit easier on the boys to fill their sponsor forms for club funds and the ABCD charity.
Throughout the course of the season the boys have training sessions on a Monday 7 to 9 and Friday 4 to 6 and play in the league on a Sunday morning. Since they have started training for the 10k they have also been meeting on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The commitment and effort that the young players have shown this season (and last) has had a positive effect on the park and the team currently tops the league with only one match to complete. They have already bagged the League Cup with victory over Lochgilphead Red Star at Dumbarton FC's Bet Butler Stadium.
The coaches Joe MacIntyre, Donald MacLean and Scott Cooper have been so impressed with the player's dedication, commitment and work rate this season that they decided to try and reward the boys for their efforts by arranging a trip to Alton towers at the season end.
Joe MacIntyre said "we asked a number of local businesses if they would like to support the boys in the 10k and in return the players each ran with the logo of the business attached to the back of his shirt. The boys themselves did not know this was happening right up to the last minute so it also gave them a boost when they realised just how much local support they were receiving. All the parents and coaches are proud of the boys and they have conducted themselves brilliantly wherever they have been this season. They have been excellent ambassadors for the town and young players in general". Donald MacLean added "we would like to thank all the businesses that supported the boys in the event. We would also like to give a special mention to Patrick McIntyre who completed the 10K event with a fantastic time of 47 minutes".
The Oban Saints U14s will now attempt to create their own piece of history and become the first youth team from Oban to complete the league and cup double which would cap an excellent season for a fine bunch of boys.


PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) was developed at the University of California Los Angeles. The group was created to be a parent assisted social skills training for youth and young adults challenged with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety, and the twice exceptional with social impairments.
The group is tailored for teens and young adults who are motivated to learn the ecologically valid skills (or what people who are socially accepted naturally do) that are proven to improve their abilities to make and keep friends.
Parental participation is a key component of our PEERS® program. Research shows that parental support, instruction, and supervision significantly benefit the development of friendships. Parent groups run concurrent with teen/young adult groups at the same time and location.
Expanding the social knowledge that opens the door for more interests explored between peers.
Now Enrolling for the Fall!
This coming fall will be our 7th teen class and 4th young adult course since starting the program in 2016.
Call our office at 303-335-0841 to complete a free 15-minute phone screen with a member of our staff.
A Social Skills Group for teens and young adults that work!
Among the few social skills programs that exist, the vast majority do not provide evidence to support their claims of improving social skills, nor do they provide parent assistance. To date, the only known research-supported social skills program available for teens and young adults with ASD and other social challenges is PEERS®.
A strength-based approach that is highly structured and provides a positive environment for each member to grow and learn together as they apply the skills in their social world.
Our mission is to embrace each family with compassion and professionalism that will create a social vessel for 16 weeks allowing there to be a stronger foundation that can have a life long impact.

Amongst the many other nuggets of wisdom, this one seems most appropriate to share here in honor of an amazing life lead by Wayne Dyer. This morning I found out he passed on, but there no doubt in my mind that he lived his life to the fullest– following his passion and excitement, and inspiring millions to do the same along the way.
I feel lucky to have gotten the chance to hear him speak at a Hay House Ignite conference a few years back. Amongst many other valuable things, he shared parenting advice– at one point bringing his daughter up on stage and talking about a children's book they had written together, a true story of the power of positive thought and self healing.
This quote in particular struck me today, as just this past weekend I was thinking a lot about the power of our actions on our little ones. I was in the Hamptons at a friend's and had picked up her book Babywise, expecting a refresher on feed schedules and the best way to get your baby to sleep through the night. Yet, the first part of the book goes deep into the power that our actions have on our little ones, and how exposing them to the security of a truly loving home (and that being reflected in the relationship of mom and dad) is one of the most beneficial things we can do for them.
Wayne Dyer believed in the power of love and forgiveness, and in seeing the best in others and ourselves. In honor of him, may we all try to lead with love, and remember that (in parenting and otherwise) the real power is in what we do, not what we say.

Q: How to change line endings in Wordpress theme editor? My boss sometimes edits files using the Wordpress Admin theme editor. Upon saving a file, Wordpress changes all of the line endings from \n to \r\n.
Is there anyway to get it to save the files with \n ?

A: You could use this to get the content before it hits the database and then do a regex search and replace to remove the unwanted line ending.
// untested
$content = str_replace('\r\n', '\n', $content);

July 30th is international friendship day – a reason, if there ever was one, to get together with your friends and have some fun. To celebrate, we're looking at some of the best bromances on TV. There are so many to choose from – who are your favourites?
Friends is an iconic show and pretty much every character is great, but these guys are two of the favourites. Often-out-of-work actor Joey who's a hit with the ladies and no one-knows-what-his-job is Chandler who's, well, less of a hit – roommates, best friends and generally hilarious. Some of their common interest include Baywatch, the Chick and the Duck, the Barker Loungers – so many funny moments between them that make them arguably one of the best bromances of all time. Altogether now….I'll be there for youuuuuuuu….
We promise some of our choices are going less than 10 years old – but no list of bromances would be complete without these two. Friends through college right up to becoming a successful surgeon and doctor, they're as co-dependent and immature as each other – what's not to love?!
For those of you who aren't Game of thrones fans this won't make much sense, but if you know, you know. Originally the friend and companion of Jamie's younger brother Tyrion, Bronn became Jamie's right hand man (excuse the pun) later in the show, and their storylines have been joined ever since. They're about as far from nice to each other as you can get but have a really strong bond. Fun fact, Bronn is played by Jerome Flynn who was part of Robson and Jerome back in the 90s - clearly he loves a strong male duo.
If you've never seen Brooklyn 99, we suggest watching it immediately. Seriously – it's hilarious. Although this pair might seem to have a one-sided relationship sometimes (essentially Charles worshipping Jake) there are plenty of moments that flip this on its head. Even though Jake and Charles are our favourite partnership in the show, there are some seriously strong other candidates – Hitchcock and Scully, Rosa and Amy, Holt and Terry - the list goes on.
Who are your favourites – did they make the list?
Loves writing about technology, life, and how to combine the two. But not in a Robocop kind of way.

Linode expands global data center network to India
Linode, the world's largest independent open cloud provider, opened its newest data center in Mumbai, India. The data center expands the company's global footprint to one of the fastest growing developer and technology regions in the world. The new data center is Linode's tenth, worldwide.
In launching its Mumbai data center, Linode offers the region's five million developers and the organizations they support a more affordable and local alternative to hyperscale providers currently serving the Indian market.
"We built Linode to democratize cloud computing, to make it more accessible to more people and to do so at price points that make it more affordable than what's currently available to them," said Christopher Aker, founder and CEO of Linode. "Our entry into the Indian market opens the door for a wave of new innovation previously closed off to a significant number of developers and businesses in India."
India is second only to China as the largest and fastest growing cloud services market in the Asia Pacific. The country's public cloud services market was measured at $1.8 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $4.1 billion by 2020.
Linode Mumbai was built using the company's latest server builds and Next Generation Network (NGN) and connects directly to Linode's global fiber backbone. Customers in India and the wider developer community can now benefit from the best price-to-performance offering in the industry, allowing them to reduce latency and improve performance by running workloads closer to home. Unlike leading competitive offerings, Linode's cloud services will be available at the same low, flat and transparent price in India as they are in every other region in which Linode operates.
