ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer REST API v2.0 - Developers
Non-Profit Financial, News Services
The ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API provides an application programming interface to the search engine and database that powers Nonprofit Explorer. The Nonprofit Explorer includes data on 1.6 million nonprofits, including the name, location, and category of each organization. When available, the API returns data from nonprofit tax returns processed by the IRS during the 2012-2015 calendar years. This information -- available for more than 750,000 organizations -- generally consists of filings for the 2011-2014 fiscal years, but may include older records. The IRS data release includes only a subset of what can be found in the full Form 990s. ProPublica has linked to PDFs of full Form 990 documents wherever possible, consisting of a separate release by the IRS of Form 990 documents processed by the agency through June 2016 (these documents may contain filings as recent as the 2015 fiscal year.) Nonprofit Explorer has organizations claiming tax exemption in each of the 27 subsections of the 501(c) section of the tax code, and which have filed a Form 990, Form 990EZ or Form 990PF. Taxable trusts and private foundations that are required to file a form 990PF are also included. Small organizations (those with less than $50,000 in revenue) that file a Form 990N "e-Postcard" are not included in this data. No API key is required, but commercial users should contact ProPublica.

Creditors and collection agencies have a set amount of time to sue people who are behind on their credit card bills. This is called a statute of limitations; in most states, according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the window is between three and 10 years. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations by which a company can sue for failure to pay credit debt (2A:14-1) is six years.
Once debt is six years old in NJ, the debt is considered in legal terms to be "time-barred debt." If a collection agency tries to collect the debt after this time, you can go to court and tell the judge the debt is time-barred.
It's important to know, however, that the statute of limitations doesn't prevent companies or the debt collection agencies or lawyers they hire to try to collect debt, they just cannot sue to collect the debt.
If they do due you for uncollected debt, you need an experienced bankruptcy lawyer on your site to protect your rights. Contact Joel R. Spivack Esq. right away. He will assess the "time barred" debt defense in court on your behalf.

OpenWhisk has moved to GA!
If you've already been exploring OpenWhisk and building your serverless infrastructure, you'll want to pay attention to to several deprecations now that OpenWhisk has moved to General Availability (GA).
On January 12th, 2017 features that have been marked deprecated will no longer be supported. Some of these changes are breaking changes, meaning, that if you do not address them, your OpenWhisk actions will cease to function.
First, and most importantly, API keys and namespaces are changing. If you head over to download the latest command line interface, you'll see instructions to set your new authentication keys and remove the old namespace. Note: You'll need the latest CLI to use GA features. You can learn more about these changes here: It's time to update your OpenWhisk API Keys.
If you were firing triggers using whisk.trigger, you need to now use the OpenWhisk npm module's trigger.invoke() method.
The whisk.getAuthKey and whisk.setAuthKey methods no longer exist. You can now access the API host, namespace and API key values as environment variables.
In the latest Node.js v6 actions, you should now use promises. Inside of the promise you will use either the resolve or reject method to complete the asynchronous action of the promise.
You can check out the OpenWhisk docs to learn more about creating asynchronous actions, or check out an asynchronous sample here.
In addition to these coding/API changes, several packages and the Swift v2 and Node.js 0.12 runtimes have been deprecated. You can see the list of package changes here.
If you have any Node.js 0.12 actions, they will need to be migrated to the Node.js 6 runtime. If you have any Swift v2 actions, you will want to migrate those to the Swift v3 runtime.
Learn more about creating Swift actions.
The includeDocs parameter for the Cloudant trigger has been deprecated, and will cease to function on January 12th, 2017. This parameter was used to attach the affected document as a parameter to the document change feed (document was included in every insert, update, or delete event). This is no longer supported. The document id will still be passed in the change feed, but you will now have to query the Cloudant action/database to fetch the complete document if you need it. You can read more about this change at: Cloudant Change Trigger no Longer Supports "includeDoc".
It's been an exciting year as advances in serverless computing, and OpenWhisk in particular, have transformed the way that we can build our applications and APIs. We no longer have to think about provisioning servers, ramping up to scale to meet demand, or building monolithic server architectures. Serverless computing enables us to think in terms of discrete, composable (and reusable) microservices that automatically scale based on demand, or automatically process input in near real time based on activity and events.
With all of this information, you should now be all set to move your OpenWhisk actions to GA. We can't wait to see what you'll build next!


Easy DIY Natural Nail Care - Nourishing Growth Blend - Amphora Aromatics Ltd – Supplier of pure essential oils and aromatherapy Products.
Hello again! Sophie here with my latest natural nail care blog. This time I'll be detailing a blend to help nourish and grow healthy, hydrated nails.
My previous blog was all about weak, brittle nails and gave you a gorgeous blend to help strengthen them. This time I've got a lovely nail growth blend that will nourish your nails and help them to grow strong and healthy.
It's very easy to get hold of nail hardeners in cheap pharmacies etc. They claim to give you long, healthy nails quickly (and most of them do), but have you ever wondered what's used in these nail care products to make our nails so hard? Well, some of them contain a substance called Formalin which is made from dissolved Formaldehyde. Prolonged use of nail hardeners containing Formalin is not recommended as it can actually corrode the nails and leave them split and damaged.
Of course, just having hard nails does not necessarily mean you have healthy nails. If they're too hard then they can be become brittle and break. The healthiest nails are flexible.
You'll be amazed to find how easy it is to make your very own blend using only natural ingredients including pure essential oils. Natural ingredients for healthy, long and flexible nails.
First we need to consider the perfect base oils. Grapeseed Oil is a good choice – it's full of Vitamins and antioxidants that help to protect and restore nails. Jojoba Oil works well alongside the Grapeseed to provide extra nurturing, hydrating and nourishing properties.
Lavender essential oil protects and heals, Rosemary will stimulate and promote blood flow to the nail bed and Carrot Seed oil helps to maintain moisture balance.
Mix the oils together in a small dark glass bottle. Shake the blend before each use to ensure the oils are mixed well before application.
To apply, dab a small amount of the blend on the cuticle, then in circular motions gently massage over the entire nail. For best results, give the oils as long as you can to soak into the nails before washing your hands. Bed time is perfect.
As with all natural ingredients or blends that you're using for the first time, it's important to ensure that you won't react badly when they're applied to your skin. To do this, it's very important that you carry out a skin patch test before full application.
Simply apply a small amount to the inside of the elbow and leave for 24 hours. If irritation occurs, rinse the area well and then test each ingredient individually to work out which one(s) is causing the problem.
Simply replace this ingredient with another oil with similar properties. Please don't be put off if you do have a reaction - there will be a blend that is right for you.
Thank you for reading! My next blog will be focusing on cuticles. I've got a gorgeous cuticle balm recipe which helps to treat and prevent dry, sore cuticles.
Don't forget to check out all of our other blogs. There's a wide range of topics and problems covered with free tips, advice and recipes from the experts here at Amphora. Click here to browse through!

SpaceX's Crew Dragon splashed down back on Earth, safely completing i
by Barbara Daniel	- at March 09, 2019
The SpaceX commercial astronaut capsule has undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) and will splash down in the Atlantic Ocean later on Friday. The spacecraft splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:45 a.m.
The U.S. space agency has scheduled the Crew Dragon's next mission for June when SpaceX will conduct an in-flight abort test. NASA astronauts showing up to the space station in a SpaceX capsule probably doesn't sit well with some of the country's top space executives, especially when Roscosmos itself is relying on Soyuz rocket technology originally developed in the 1960s.
The undocking, descent from Earth orbit and water-landing are the final stages of the SpaceX Crew Dragon's first test flight. NASA retired its own space shuttle in 2011 that could fly astronauts. "It won't be long before our astronaut colleagues are aboard Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner vehicles, and we can't wait".
The successful test and splashdown is "an incredible achievement in American history", said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who called the SpaceX flight the "dawning of a new era in American human space flight".
Crew Dragon's departure burns quickly moved it outside the station's imaginary 200-meter-wide Keep Out Sphere, and in roughly 20 minutes, it was outside the 4-by-2 kilometer approach ellipsoid. It was carrying about 400 pounds of supplies for the ISS and a space-suited dummy named Ripley, which is "fitted with sensors around the head, neck and spine to record everything an astronaut would experience throughout the mission".

The capsule launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket early Saturday morning.
The crew of the GO Searcher, a SpaceX ship rigged to recover returning crew capsules, planned to haul the spacecraft aboard and return it to Port Canaveral for detailed post-flight inspections. This extra safety precaution means the capsule has a more asymmetrical shape than the Cargo Dragon ship, which has more of a cone shape and has completed 16 missions to the space station.
The Crew Dragon drifts away from the ISS. The parachute system that flew on this test flight was not entirely the same as the one that will be used for the crew flight, and neither were avionics and life support entirely finalized. When the capsule returns, it will bring back a trove of scientific samples from research projects, along with other equipment. But that tower had to be jettisoned before the spacecraft reached orbit - before the spacecraft even separated from the rocket, in fact - briefly leaving the crew with no escape system at all if something went wrong. After five days docked at the Station, Crew Dragon disembarked and returned to Earth.
The three astronauts on board the ISS - American Anne McClain, Canadian David Saint-Jacques and Russian Oleg Kononenko - were able to get a first glimpse of the SpaceX capsule in microgravity while it was docked at the station this week.
The Commercial Crew Program is the end result of a series of NASA-funded industry competitions in the wake of the shuttle's retirement to develop a new American spacecraft to carry astronauts to and from the space station.

You are here: Home / Dating Tips / Am I Settling or is This the Best I Can Do?
Am I Settling or is This the Best I Can Do?
Can it be better? Closer? More connected?
The short answer is is almost always YES.
"How do you know if what you have is the best you can get? That you're not settling? That you're not just filling a role?
Thanks for your question–and it's a great one–whether you're at the beginning of a relationship (as you are) or you've been together for many years.
First… we think it's great that you're in a relationship with a person that you're really comfortable with and one that's healthy, happy and loving.
And–your two follow-up questions–"How do I know if this will work?" and "Should I date around more?"–reveal a lot about your situation than you may not be aware of.
As good as your relationship seems to be, you may be fearing that it may not be enough for you and you may want more some time in the future.
What we have discovered both in working with people like you in our Breakthrough coaching practice, as well as what we have learned in our own relationship and life, is that we all have different wants, needs, interests.
We all have different things that drive us and make us be the way we are.
As we really tune in to your question, it seems that on an intuitive level, you already know that for you–you want something else in addition to "comfort" in an intimate relationship.
It depends on how important that passionate spark is to you.
1. Thinking about what you do have, how important is having that passionate spark to you right now?
2. In your mind's eye, transport the two of you to the future 5 or 10 years down the road. Now look at how happy you are if nothing changes.
Remember to just let your "gut" respond right now, without censoring it.
Now, read your answers to yourself and feel how those land inside you. What are the feelings that come up?
As you're sitting with what came up for you during this exercise, consider a few ideas about passionate spark.
The typical couple starts off with a great deal of excitement and passion between them.
As we've said many times, the problem is that "life gets in the way" and they allow that passion to fade away–and no one knows exactly where it goes.
Passion can fade to nothing but it can also be re-ignited if that's what both people want.
And what if that "butterfly" passion was never there to begin with?
It can be pretty difficult (but not impossible) to "manufacture" it–unless both people really want it to happen.
They have to find ways to open to each other and look at each other differently.
If this relationship is really important to you and you want to keep it–and you are open to creating a little more "zing" with him–open yourself to the idea that it just might be possible with him.
Open you heart to him in a different way and start thinking of him in a little different way.
When you feel passionate toward him, when he stirs anything inside you–let alone butterflies–nurture that feeling and don't dismiss it as not being enough.
Some people have trouble thinking of a healthy, loving relationship in the same sentence as passion–and their beliefs get in the way when they finally find a "good" relationship.
If this is happening, start opening the door for the belief that you can have a healthy, loving relationship AND passion–all with the same man and see what happens.
Of course with passion, there's that unspoken element of chemistry and attraction that can't be denied.
We're saying that if passion is important and you're in a good relationship, start taking some action to ignite it.
One way to look at it is that this relationship is working and is giving you what you need in the moment. It's teaching you what it feels like to be in a loving, healthy relationship that's comfortable.
Doesn't have to be if you and your partner want more.
We suggest you explore what you want and then open to the possibility of having it with this person before you go off to another one.
We advise you to make conscious choices that will take you toward what you want in this moment and then in the next moment.
The bottom line is that you might truly be noticing something that you feel will be missing from your relationship and your life if you don't have it.
You may be noticing where you need to put more of your attention in this relationship.

Alternative business structure (ABS) Quindell plc sought to halt yet another run on its shares yesterday by issuing its second trading update in little over three weeks.
Its already struggling share price took another beating this week in the wake of a report in the Financial Times suggesting that Quindell's lucrative contract to provide the RAC with telematics devices had stalled.
Having been around 205p at the end of last week, the shares fell to 170p by yesterday morning, and spiralled down to 138p during trading before recovering back to 170p by the close.
Quindell issued a trading update on 14 July – which sent the share price to 235p – and yesterday's announcement said the group had met all of its key performance indicators for July – which its services division, providing a claims service, "particularly strong" – and "all core business relationships [remaining] strong".
The statement added that "operating cash flow has turned positive in July", while "certain contracts" are being restructured "to ensure the optimum return on cash resources".
The update came just a fortnight before Quindell announces its interim results for the first six months of 2014.
Back in April, Quindell announced "the world's largest telematics contract to date", with the ABS and the RAC each putting £15m into a new company, Connected Car Solutions (CCS), to distribute the two businesses' " connected car capabilities". It said the roll-out of telematics to 2.1m RAC customers would start in July 2014.
As part of the deal and to recognise the value it gave to Quindell, the ABS agreed to issue to the RAC share warrants over 250m Quindell shares, exercisable at 50p per share. That figure was quoted before Quindell underwent a 15:1 share consolidation, meaning the share price would now need to hit 750p before the warrants were exercisable.

Don't worry, that's not a spicy meatball
Dennis the Menace, 2/19/14
To the extent that anyone anywhere thinks about third-tier characters in Dennis the Menace, they probably have Gina pegged as "vaguely tomboyish but not gender-binary-threateningly non-feminine girl who Dennis finds to be an acceptable companion and maybe nascent crush object, in contrast with Margaret." But panels like this give us a glimpse at what one must assume was her other traditional role in the strip: as a symbol of the changing face of middle-class America, a sign of the times circa 1960 when the white people of suburbia found that other, slightly different kinds of white people wanted to be their neighbors. And Dennis is on the forefront of this bold social experiment! Papists are A-OK by him! Don't worry, Joey, this Italian cheese-butter-noodle glop may have a crazy name that ends in a vowel, but it's pretty much the same cheese-butter-noodle glop we enjoy right here in the USA.
Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 2/19/14
I was going to compliment this Snuffy Smith for really getting at something profound and intriguing about the nature of human memory. When I try to remember what my classmates from elementary school look like, even when I feel like I can visualize them pretty clearly, they don't look like children in my head, and when I look at old yearbooks I'm shocked by how young everyone is. However, I think that's probably giving the strip far too much credit, and it's really more likely this is just an ill-fated attempt to launch a Hootin' Holler Babies spinoff.

Immunobiology of natural killer cells and bone marrow transplantation: Merging of basic and preclinical studies
William J. Murphy*, Crystal Y. Koh, Arati Raziuddin, Michael Bennett, Dan L. Longo
Natural killer (NK) cells mediate acute rejection of bone marrow, but not solid tissue, allografts in lethally irradiated mice. Precisely how and why this rejection occurs is still unclear. In allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), a spectrum of results is possible; one result can be marrow graft failure due to host rejection of the graft by NK and T cells and, at the opposite spectrum, the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Donor NK cells, however, appear capable of improving donor engraftment without giving rise to GVHD and thus may be of use as an immunotherapy following BMT. As NK-cell inhibitory receptors play a role in bone marrow cell rejection, these same inhibitory receptors may also affect NK responses towards tumor cells. It has been demonstrated that blocking the interaction of inhibitory receptors with MHC determinants on tumor cells can result in greater antitumor effects. Thus, NK cells are capable of mediating both positive and negative effects during BMT depending on whether they are of host versus donor origin and their state of activation.

The Passion of Ayn Rand is a drama written by Mary Gallagher and Howard Korder and directed by Christopher Menaul. It is based on a book of the same name by Barbara Branden, played in the film by Julie Delpy.
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1999 and had its TV premiere later that year, in May.
Helen Mirren won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie and Peter Fonda, who was also nominated for an Emmy, won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor.
The Passion of Ayn Rand was released on DVD in February 2001.
The novelist Ayn Rand engaged in an affair with a psychologist 25 years her junior by the name of Nathaniel Branden.
Branden built up an institute to spread Rand's ideas, but the two eventually had a falling out. This is the story of the affair, based on the book by Branden's wife, Barbara.
Eric Stoltz, Helen Mirren, Julie Delpy, Peter Fonda, Don McKellar, Sybil Temtchine, Tom McCamus
DVD ON AMAZON: The Passion of Ayn Rand
Newsday, May 1999:
Rand would again and again mold her world into one that suited her notions – regardless of the human consequences. That's what drew Eric Stoltz, who specializes in smart and quirky movies, to the role of her eager young admirer. "These people are clearly brilliant and intelligent people – with furious minds – who somehow end up in impossible, brutalizing, foolish situations. Like we all do," Stoltz said over a catered lunch during a nighttime filming break.
Yet, "Passion" never neglects the deeper philosophical yearnings that originally brought them together. Stoltz said, "To hear these people who so valued the mind and thought and thinking is wonderful in this world of fast cutting and stimulants, instant gratification and disposable living." (…)
Costar Eric Stoltz read "The Fountainhead" in college: "I think it had a profound influence on me at a time in my life where I needed to hear what she was saying: the rights of the individual, being true to yourself."
Billboard, April 2001:
What attracted you to this film?
It was one of the more interesting scripts that I've read, and it contained a rather shocking approach to an adulterous affair in that all the parties involved got permission from their mates. Also, Helen Mirren was doing it, and I liked the director. So there were many elements.
My favorite scenes in the movie are yours with Helen.
She was the best. I found it very interesting and difficult to keep up with her, frankly. She's better and smarter and more attractive. It's like all of a sudden you're playing tennis with Andre Agassi. You have to fight to keep up. You can learn within that, but it certainly makes your heart race.
Was working in such a claustrophobic '50s setting a challenge, too?
It certainly seemed a much more repressed world. These characters had extraordinary courage in trying to break through that repression and be honest about their feelings of lust and love. They were breaking through those boundaries, which is what made them interesting, dangerous, and miserable.
The Pittsburgh Channel, 2001:
"This is a special project not just because of the political content, but because of script and (star) Helen Mirren – she's one of the best actresses living today," Stoltz told me. "I just sort of threw myself at her feet and she very graciously let me. She was just a joy to work with. It was just a wonderful project all the way through." (…)
"I guess it could be frightening, but I found it very American in that one of the principles of objectivism is that you do what makes you happy," Stoltz said. "You are not beholden to society, community or your family – you come first. It embraces selfishness. To me, that's a very American quality."
As for his own experiences, Stoltz's first exposure to Rand came just after high school. "I had read Ayn Rand's work in college, which I think is a perfect time to read her because you're setting off on your own, breaking away from your parents and creating your own world. You need to be sort of selfish and thoughtless," he mused.

Venezuela's Chavez Halts Nuclear Energy Program following Japan Crisis
In the aftermath of last Friday's tragic earthquake, president Hugo Chávez sent his condolences to the Japanese people and announced his decision to halt a bi-lateral nuclear development agreement signed between Venezuela and Russia in October of last year.

Japanese soldiers gear up to help with clean up efforts in the aftermath of last week's devastating earthquake that left several nuclear power plants damaged and at risk of further melt downs (AP).
Mérida, March 16th, 2011 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Yesterday President Hugo Chávez put a freeze on Venezuela's nascent nuclear energy program as a result of the crisis underway at Japan's earthquake-stricken nuclear reactors.
In the aftermath of last Friday's tragic earthquake, Chávez sent his condolences to the Japanese people and announced his decision to halt a bi-lateral nuclear development agreement signed between Venezuela and Russia in October of last year.
The announcement came just hours after new flames engulfed one of Japan's damaged nuclear plants and forced authorities to evacuate the last remaining technicians.
"What has been taking place in the last few hours represents an enormous risk and threat to the entire world," said Chávez late Tuesday evening.
"Even with all of the great technology and advances that the Japanese have…just look at what is happening with some of those nuclear reactors," he said.
Chávez's comments came after elevated radiation levels at Japan's earthquake-stricken Fukushima Daiishi nuclear plant led authorities to suspend all efforts to prevent the plant's reactors from melting down. Authorities ordered clean-up crews to leave the facilities and cancelled plans for the use of military helicopters to dump water on the plants in efforts to prevent temperatures from rising any further.
Chávez said Japan's ongoing nuclear crisis would affect the development of nuclear energy programs worldwide. "There is no doubt whatsoever that this has altered, and will alter in a very strong way, all planning for nuclear energy across the globe," he said.
"For the time being," Chávez said, "I have ordered the Vice President [and Minister of Energy Rafael] Ramírez to put a freeze on the plans we have been advancing, the very preliminary studies related to Venezuela's peaceful nuclear energy program."
"The magnitude of the nuclear problem in Japan is not yet known…We [hope] they [the flames, explosions] are as least serious as possible and have the smallest possible affect on Japan and its neighboring countries," Chávez said in closing statements.
On Wednesday, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos called Chávez's decision to suspend nuclear energy plans a, "timely preventative gesture," and called on the international community to seek out alternative energies.
Venezuelan Nuclear Energy Plan & U.S. Response
Venezuela's plans for a peaceful nuclear energy program were first announced in November of 2008, when Chávez revealed that Venezuelan and Russian experts had begun developing a bi-lateral nuclear accord to be discussed during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Venezuela later that month.
Medvedev was the first Russian President to ever visit Venezuela.
Having formally negotiating the nuclear accord with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in April of 2010, six months later Chávez and Medvedez officially signed an agreement to build two 1,200-megawatt nuclear reactors.
During his two-day visit to Russia in October of last year, Chávez reiterated Venezuela's intentions to move forward with the energy project.
"Yes, we're going to develop nuclear energy in Venezuela, with Russian support. The world needs to know this, and nothing is going to stop us. We're free, we're sovereign, we're independent," Chávez told reporters.
"Brazil has several nuclear reactors, as does Argentina. We will also have our own reactor," Chávez said.
U.S. Congressmen Connie Mack – a Florida republican – called the bi-lateral nuclear agreement, "extremely troubling," and demanded that U.S. President Barack Obama "not turn a blind eye to the serious national security implications of this agreement between Venezuela and Russia."
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez is not a man who can be trusted with nuclear energy," said the openly anti-Chávez U.S. lawmaker.
Mack, who is now chairman of the U.S. House Sub-Committee on Foreign Affairs for the Western Hemisphere, has insisted that Venezuela be placed on the U.S. State Department's list of "state sponsors of terrorism" and that a "full-scale economic embargo" be enforced against the South American country.
Obama commented on the agreement by recognizing that, "Venezuela has rights to peacefully develop nuclear power," though he expressed his "concerns" that Venezuela and all other signatories of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty not "weaponize" their nuclear programs.
According to a 2010 document release by the U.S. Defense Department, the United States currently maintains an arsenal of 5,113 nuclear warheads.

Chateau de La Gardine is a tiny estate immediately west of the great Chateauneuf du Pape, which obviously needs no introduction. Although winemaking has been recorded there since the mid 1700s, La Gardine as we know it began when the Brunel family bought the estate in 1947 and set about increasing its quality and production.
La Gardine is easily recognised by its famous moulded bottle that originated in the discovery of a mouth-blown bottle during the digs to expand the cellar. The family name 'Benjamin Brunel', crest and motto 'Angulus Ridet' grace the surface, Latin for 'corner of joy'.
'Brunel de la Gardine' is the 'micro-négociant' range set up to give access to the Brunel label and has become something of an institution for terrific value.

a nuclear reactor shut down due to "mild temperatures"
The reactor at the Tricastin plant remains "immediately available" if needed, says EDF.
A reactor in EDF's nuclear fleet, Tricastin 4, was shut down on Thursday, due to "mild temperatures"And lower electricity consumption, we learned Thursday from EDF. "The mild temperatures, above normal for the season, and the lower consumption during this period mean that the network does not need all the available reactors"Said EDF, in a situation report, in which it reports 42 reactors in operation and 14 reactors shut down.
In addition to this mild temperature, "there was less consumption, especially during the holidays, and so we shut down several reactors because the electricity network did not need them", we said at EDF. "Just before Christmas", several reactors were thus stopped "over short periods", with "a peak at 10 reactors last weekend, shut down for modulation", which almost all resumed on January 2, except Tricastin 4, which is scheduled to return to service on January 9 to date. However, there remainsimmediately available", if necessary, we specify at EDF.
Read alsoElectricity: why the restart of nuclear power plants has been delayed
Electricity consumption fell by 8.5% last week compared to the average for previous years (2014-2019) over the same period, according to figures as of January 1 and a final point from RTE, published on Tuesday. Over the last four weeks, corresponding to the whole month of December, the average drop has also reached 8.5%. These figures are released after restatement of calendar and meteorological effects: it is therefore the consumption that would have occurred if the temperatures had been aligned with the normal temperatures defined by Météo France for the period.
The government has called for sobriety, against a backdrop of supply difficulties linked in particular to the gas crisis in Europe and the reduced availability of the French nuclear fleet. The situation is less gloomy on this side as well: during his greetings to economic players, the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire thanked EDF on Thursday and applauded the company and its CEO for the return of 44 GW reconnected "as i speak to you".
"We will therefore meet our target of 45 GW returning to the network in January 2023", out of a total installed capacity of 61.4 GW, added the Minister. If the threat of power cuts this winter "seems to move away", Government spokesman Olivier Véran nevertheless called on Wednesday the "businesses and citizens" to "maintain efforts on eco-gestures".

How Trump Might Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization
By Scott R. Anderson
Monday, May 13, 2019, 12:10 PM
Pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters in Nasr City, Cairo, Oct. 11, 2013 (Source: Wikimedia/Hamada Elrasam for VOA)
According to the New York Times, members of the Trump administration—including the president himself—are once again pushing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, an idea that has been circulating among some of the president's policy advisers for years. This most recent effort appears to be the result of an April 9 meeting between Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has helped lead a global campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood. Experts outside the government—and reportedly within it—have objected that such action would do little to advance counterterrorism efforts while alienating Muslims around the world and potentially harming Muslim organizations in the United States.
Most reports have thus far focused on the possibility that the Trump administration will try to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). While this has been the focus of similar legislative efforts, it's unclear whether this is the only measure that the Trump administration is exploring. As William McCants and Benjamin Wittes explained on Lawfare in 2017, FTO status is a poor legal fit for the Muslim Brotherhood. For this reason, opponents of the Brotherhood have frequently steered officials toward other counterterrorism tools—including other terrorist designation regimes—that might be used to greater effect, particularly if wielded aggressively. If the president is truly determined to stigmatize and isolate the Muslim Brotherhood, then he is likely to try and use these other tools in lieu of or in addition to the FTO regime.
Much of the debate surrounding the Muslim Brotherhood centers on the nature of the organization itself. Opponents often characterize the group as part of a global campaign to radicalize adherents and push for a government dominated by Islamic law. Most experts, however, maintain that the reality is quite different. While there is an Egypt-based international Muslim Brotherhood organization, it is relatively inconsequential. Instead, the most significant components of the Muslim Brotherhood exist within its loose network of global affiliates, as Nathan Brown and Michelle Dunne describe:
There is no single thing called the Muslim Brotherhood, but instead a number of organizations, movements, parties, associations, and informal groups that take some inspiration, sometimes direct and sometimes remote, from the original movement founded in Egypt in 1928 and the core texts its founder produced. Brotherhood-inspired movements long ago concluded that their circumstances were so distinct that each would follow the path it saw as appropriate in its own society.... And there are many organizations that have been formed with varying degrees of participation from Brotherhood members, but their ties to any Brotherhood organization are often informal and vary in scope.
There are certainly groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood that have engaged in terrorism, such as Hamas (which is already a designated FTO in its own right). But many other such groups have renounced violence, including any number of academic institutions and charitable organizations across the Islamic world as well as mainstream political parties in Iraq, Tunisia, Turkey and elsewhere. For this reason, experts argue that any effort at targeting the Muslim Brotherhood writ large is overbroad as it will inevitably encompass these relatively benign affiliates, some of whose activities actively advance other U.S. foreign policy objectives.
At a minimum, these characteristics make the Muslim Brotherhood a poor candidate for FTO designation. By statute, only foreign organizations that engage in, or retain the capacity and intent to engage in, terrorist activity that threatens U.S. nationals or U.S. national security can be designated as FTOs. On their face, these prerequisites disqualify nonviolent Muslim Brotherhood affiliates as well as those based in the United States. And it is unlikely that the actions of Hamas or other violent Muslim Brotherhood affiliates could justify the designation of nonviolent affiliates, as the violent group would have to "so dominate[] and control[]" the nonviolent affiliates than the two could "no longer be considered meaningfully independent."
But the FTO regime isn't the only—or even the most frequently used—terrorist designation in the United States. Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13224, which used the authorities delegated to him by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to set up a separate regime for designating so-called Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). Designed to help combat terrorism financing, SDGT designation has similar consequences as FTO designation, including a freeze on the assets of SDGTs and a prohibition on providing them with various forms of support. Any U.S. persons or persons within the United States who engage in transactions that benefit SDGTs, including material support, may be punished with up to 20 years in prison—the same baseline penalty for those who provide material support to FTOs, though the latter restriction also applies extraterritorially.
The SDGT regime, however, has a much broader scope than the FTO regime. Any "foreign persons"—meaning both individuals and organizations—"that pose a significant risk of committing terrorism that threatens the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States" may be designated as an SDGT. (As a result, every FTO has also been dual-designated as an SDGT.) But so can any persons that are "owned or controlled by," "act[ing] for or on behalf of," "assist[ing] in, sponsor[ing], or provid[ing] financial, material, or technological support for, or financial or other services to or in support of," or "otherwise associated with" another SDGT. This includes U.S. persons and those based in the United States, provided that a foreign state or national has "any interest" in them—a requirement that federal courts have interpreted broadly to include cases where a foreign national has a beneficiary interest or inhabits a leadership position. Consequently, entities several degrees removed from anyone with the intent or capacity to commit acts of terrorism can be designated as SDGTs so long as they have a qualifying relationship with another SDGT.
These qualifying relationships can encompass a broad range of conduct. Current federal regulations limit "financial, material, or technological support" to "any property" that is "tangible or intangible," and define "otherwise associated with" in a manner that is largely redundant with the rest of Executive Order 13224. But they do not limit what it might mean to "assist," "sponsor" or "provide ... other services to" an SDGT. In the context of material support for FTOs, the Supreme Court has upheld the position that "services" can be interpreted as constitutionally criminalizing activities as seemingly benign as advocacy and education so long as they are coordinated or directed by the FTO, on the logic that providing these services still frees up the FTO's resources for terrorist activities. Extending this same logic to the SDGT regime—which at least one court has done—could make a wide array of collaboration and coordination a potential basis for SDGT designation.
Since 2001, the IEEPA has also permitted the federal government to apply provisional SDGT status to entities "during the pendency of an investigation," prior to concluding whether that entity in fact qualifies. One U.S. organization remained in this status for more than two years before securing an injunction against full designation. In that case, a district court ultimately held that the scope and duration of the government's action violated the Fourth Amendment but left open the possibility that provisional designation pending investigation could be constitutional if pursued differently.
This structure reflects that the SDGT regime is designed to take down not just individual terrorist organizations but also their networks of supporters and associates. This makes it a much more effective tool than the FTO regime for targeting any sort of network—including, potentially, the Muslim Brotherhood. Even nonviolent Muslim Brotherhood affiliates might be subject to SDGT designation if they maintain qualifying ties with certain violent affiliates. If these nonviolent affiliates are designated, then other affiliates will have to decide whether to sever qualifying relations with these groups or risk designation themselves. Qualifying relationships may well exist, especially as they could include any degree of cooperation and coordination on benign matters unrelated to terrorism, such as education programs and information exchanges, if the Trump administration were willing to interpret and apply relevant legal definitions aggressively. And severing these ties entirely may be difficult to do, given the cultural, historical and religious ties between certain Muslim Brotherhood affiliates. Moreover, while "pending investigation," entities may at least temporarily be designated as SDGTs on the simple suspicion of such ties.
More importantly, unlike the FTO regime, these effects can reach entities in the United States, provided there is some foreign interest in them. This is rarely done but would not be unprecedented. Following the 9/11 attacks, authorities designated several major U.S.-based Islamic charities as SDGTs for allegedly providing support to Hamas and other terrorist groups. Civil liberties groups criticized these designations both for a lack of evidentiary basis and for having a chilling effect on Muslim Americans' free exercise of religion, as these designations triggered concerns that donating to or coordinating with Islamic charities could expose individuals to legal consequences, including potential designation themselves. Any effort to target the Muslim Brotherhood domestically has the potential to trigger similar concerns, particularly as several prominent Muslim organizations in the United States are regularly accused of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Designated SDGTs will still be able to challenge their designations in federal court, but the prospects there are mixed at best. As SDGT designations lie "at the intersection of national security, foreign policy, and administrative law[,]" federal courts have generally applied an "extremely deferential" standard when reviewing the administrative record to see if the evidence is sufficient to sustain a designation. And while SDGTs with U.S. ties may pursue constitutional challenges, prior efforts have never reversed or overturned a designation, though they have successfully narrowed designation criteria, secured additional processes for designees and occasionally resulted in settlement. At a minimum, even successful legal challenges are likely to take substantial time to resolve. In the interim, the impact on designated entities—and the Muslim community more broadly—may be substantial.
The SDGT regime's open-ended scope makes it an incredibly effective tool for combating terrorism financing. But it also puts the regime at risk of abuse, particularly if policy makers abandon their usual restraint and begin applying it to entities whose relationship with terrorism is far more attenuated. This makes the SDGT regime a more likely vehicle for the Trump administration's ambitions against the Muslim Brotherhood than the FTO regime. And it leaves fewer clear legal barriers to resulting actions that might well compromise broader U.S. interests and values, both overseas and at home.

WEBBG Rock Gurf Morlix - Last Exit to Happyland (2009)
Gurf Morlix - Last Exit to Happyland (2009)
Genre: Country, Rock
Gurf Morlix - Last Exit to Happyland (2009) .zip
Artist: Gurf Morlix
Title: Last Exit to Happyland
Genre: Alt-Country, Alternative Rock, Country-Folk, Progressive Country
While best known for his production credits -- he's helmed stunning albums for Robert Earl Keen, Lucinda Williams, and Buddy Miller to name just a few -- Morlix is a winning performer on his own. With the exception of drummer Rick Richards, his longtime collaborator, Morlix plays everything on the album with his usual understated virtuosity. "One More Second" follows a murderer from the gun store to the doorway of his intended victim. Morlix lays down some wailing slide guitar accents, moody B-3 organ and snarling lead guitar to complement his gruff, despondent vocals. "She's a River" is an almost religious song of lost love; churchy Hammond B-3 and sanctified backing vocals from Patty Griffin intensify the feeling of grief and longing. Morlix uses his mournful tenor on the chorus while singing the verse in a tortured croak. Griffin also lends sympathetic backing vocals to "Voice of Midnight," another apocalyptic love song delivered with subtle intensity. A simple repeated electric guitar figure and the harmonies of Griffin and Morlix make the song a real heartbreaker. "Crossroads" is another bluesy meditation on the bargains we all make to get through the day. It's framed as a deal with the devil, with Richards laying down a minimal drumbeat, and Morlix almost whispering the lyric over his subdued acoustic guitar. "Hard Road" is a road song that starts quietly and builds slowly. The images of headlights in the darkness, deserted gas stations, and the romance of the void are all clichés, but Morlix makes them sound brand new with the hushed intensity of his singing. He plays a blue greasy guitar solo over his Hammond B-3 line on "Walkin' to New Orleans" a jaunty tribute to the folks who survived Katrina that's totally unlike the Fats Domino tune of the same name. This song is a reminder that you have to keep pushing through the storm no matter what. This is only the fifth solo album Morlix has made, but like his others it's a menacing tour de force, brimming over with vignettes as dark as the spooky cover art that portrays his face slowly emerging from the inky background of a starless night. - AMG

During the 1880s people came from miles around to the curative waters of a natural lithia water spring. In 1887 Judge Bowden and a group of investors purchased the springs and commenced bottling and selling the water. Hence, the Sweet Water Hotel was built in Lithia Springs, having 500 rooms. The hotel was so popular that Mark Twain, the Vanderbilts, and several presidents visited the springs.
What is the Common Era in our Calendar?
Some changes have been made when referring to AD and BC. AD is short for Annus Domini,Latin for year of the Lord. BC is an abbreviation of Before Christ. Because AD and BC hold religious (Christian) connotations, some people prefer to use a neutrel reference of time known as the "common era" to indicate whether a year is before or after year 1. Because so many different calendars were employed since man began tracking time, there is a current confusion over the use of BC and AD. In order to determine the correct date for Easter, in 525 A. D., Dionysius Exiguus invented the use of BC and AD for numbering calendar years. At the time the dating was based upon a 532-year calendar cycle after the founding of Rome. there is no year "0." Most historians believe that Christ was born several years before the year 1. Anno Domini refers to the year of the birth of Christ, and is known as year 1. The introduction of the Gregorian Calendar came into play because a year is not exactly 365 days long. It is 365 and a quarter days long. So it was that every four years, March 1st was moved behind a day until it became the beginning of winter. Something had to be done. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced in the Catholic parts of Europe in 1582 A.D. by Pope Gregory XIII which was some improvement over the Julian Calendar. The rules, months, and days of the Gregorian calendar are the same as those of the Julian Calendar, except for the leap year rules. In the Gregorian calendar, a year is a leap year if the year number is evenly divisible by 4. However century years follow a different rule. The number must be divisible by both 100 and 400 to be a leap year; otherwise it is not a leap year. For example, 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not. The use of the Gregorian calendar in the United States is a result of an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1751, which specified use of the Gregorian calendar in England and its colonies. However, its adoption in the United Kingdom and other countries was fraught with confusion, controversy, and even violence.
The 1870-1880 Georgia Industrial Census lists the occupations of residents and other information concerning the type of business which they operated and includes those persons who were manufacturers, lumber mills, saw mills, brick yards, tile works, flour and grist mills, slaughtering and meating packing and salt works, boots and shoes, etc. For the genealogist wishing to learn more about the ancestors, this is an excellent resource. The following were listed in Tallapoosa: William Mann, Joseph Hooper, Wyatt Williams, Abram Bush of Black Creek, John Bush of Little River, Henry Aldridge of Beach Creek, C. J. Reeves and H. C. Walker. Lumber yards were owned by William Mann of some 75 acres and Michael Aderhold, 300 acres.
Ancestors in Haralson, Meriwether and Troup Counties as settlers were removing into the old Indian lands. From there, they went in Chambers County, Alabama and other surrounding border counties to Georgia. Haralson County was created in 1856 from Carroll and Polk Counties. Early Settlers: Martin Ayers, S. D. Blackman, Dennis Bates, W. J. Crawford, W. H. Chaffee, Vinson Chandler, James Dunn, B. F. Edwards, Walter Foyer, E. F. Garrett, John Humphries, J. C. Jackson, Robert Kilgore, Joseph Little, E. D. E. Pollard, Logan Root, Thomas C. Smith, C. A. Upshaw and Z. T. Williams.

But it seems to exit immediately. No input from the DBGU port is processed. I am using a simple .NET application to start the process and can see that the HasExited property is true directly after the Process.Start() method call. I have tried playing with the \k argument with no effect. I have also tried adjusting the COMSpeed registry setting with no effect.
I have read through the related MSDN articles and seen that this functionality seems to depend on the functions OEMInitDebugSerial, OEMWriteDebugByte, OEMWriteDebugString, OEMReadDebugByte, and OEMClearDebugCommError. I added stubs for the OEMWriteDebugString and OEMClearDebugCommError functions also with no effect. The other functions are all implemented and seem appropriate. They are shared with EBoot and seem to work input and output in that case.
It seems like either I am missing a setting somewhere (perhaps a catalog option) or the OEM implementation is missing something necessary for this to work. I am at a loss as how to continue as the Process.Start() method throws no exceptions and the ExitCode property is 0.
Any guidance would be appreciated; many thanks.

Two township trustees – Poland's Eric C. Ungaro and Boardman's Larry Moliterno – are vying for the Democratic nomination for the 59th Ohio House District seat.
The winner will face Republican Don Manning in the general election. State Rep. John Boccieri isn't seeking re-election and instead is running in the open 33rd Ohio Senate District race in the November general election.
Ungaro, who is also a special-education teacher and varsity football coach at Howland school district, said his education experience makes him the best candidate for the job.
"We should give the money from failing charter schools to public schools, which would give them much needed funding," Ungaro said.
Reduce or eliminate unnecessary testing.
Expand pre-kindergarten and early-childhood funding as well as funding for workforce development and trade schools in grades nine through 12.
Address growing concerns about school safety.
Moliterno, the chief executive officer of Meridian HealthCare, said he would put his business experience and his decade as a Boardman Township trustee to use representing the 59th District.
Moliterno has testified before the General Assembly numerous times on issues such as Medicaid expansion and local government funding cuts.
If elected, Moliterno wants to foster redevelopment of land to create jobs such as the chill-can plant project on Youngstown's East Side, support vulnerable populations of people such as senior citizens and support local school systems and encourage career alternatives for high-school graduates.
Moliterno and Ungaro say they are strong proponents of the fight against the opioid epidemic.
Moliterno wants to continue the fight by providing instant access to treatment as Meridian HealthCare provides, ongoing recovery support, a collaboration with the criminal justice system and an investment in prevention education.
Ungaro, whose brother died from a drug overdose, said he would work statewide to promote family support and grief support groups, increase the available bed space for treatment centers and promote the importance of providing the continuum of care these people need.
The 59th District includes Beaver, Berlin, Boardman, Canfield, Ellsworth, Goshen, Green, Jackson, Milton, Poland, Smith and Springfield townships; the city of Canfield; and the villages of Beloit, Craig Beach, New Middletown, Poland and Sebring, as well as a small portion of Austintown.

Why Shen Loves It: The Brightening Serum with instant effect gives the complexion a more even glow thanks to shimmer particles. Extract of Cress Sprouts reduces melanin synthesis and lipofuscin formation. This makes the complexion appear visibly brighter and reduces existing pigmentation. Hyaluronic Acid provides intensive moisture and Ginseng Extract supports the skin's own protection against UV-induced environmental stress. Allantoin has a calming effect for glowing, more even-looking skin. The serum refines skin tone and texture using natural brightening ingredients.
Shen Recommends: Brightening Serum: Pour one pipette length of the serum into the palm of your hand and apply it over your face. Gently pat into your skin. Follow with your moisturizer. Note: In the morning, also use a cream with sun protection factor to prevent the formation of new dark spots.

Polsinelli Continues Expansion of Intellectual Property Group in California with Addition of Attorneys Franklin Kang, Arriènne "Angel" Lezak, and Shelton Austin
Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli announced today the addition of three leading intellectual property attorneys to its California offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Silicon Valley. The firm has one of the largest IP practices in the nation, including more than 165 attorneys, patent agents, scientists and other professionals across 21 offices coast to coast.
Franklin Kang, a principal with more than 20 years of experience in patent and other intellectual property litigation matters will chair the firm's Korea Practice. Arriènne "Angel" Lezak and Shelton Austin have joined the firm's national Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Patent Prosecution Practice, with Lezak joining as a principal and Austin as counsel.
"With the addition of Franklin, Angel and Shelton, the firm is able to continue to expand our presence along the West Coast," said Fabio Marino, managing partner of Polsinelli's Silicon Valley office and chair of the firm's national Intellectual Property Litigation group, who joined the firm in December together with fellow IP litigators Nitin Gambhir, Teri Nguyen and Barrington Dyer. "All three of these attorneys bring with them strong intellectual property backgrounds and will be valuable advisors for our clients navigating complex IP issues."
Kang counsels clients throughout the United States and Asia with particular emphasis on patent litigation before U.S. federal courts and the International Trade Commission. In recent years, he has successfully litigated some of the most significant and high-profile patent cases and complex arbitration matters. A native Korean speaker, Kang counsels clients on vital cross-border litigation and transactional matters, and guides them through all stages of litigation, negotiations, transactions and investigations.
"Polsinelli's California presence is dynamic and growing," Kang said. "The firm's cross-border practice capabilities will be beneficial to my clients and serve as a great platform for Korean companies interested in doing business in the United States."
Lezak, who will also be based out of Polsinelli's Washington D.C. office, is a former patent examiner and a registered patent attorney who has an extensive background in the arts and music. Using her experience both within and outside of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, clients rely on Lezak's ability to overcome prosecution hurdles, develop and manage patent portfolios, and analyze existing patent families to determine portfolio strategies based on the value and strength of pending and acquired claim sets.
Austin, also a former patent examiner, focuses his practice on intellectual property law, with an emphasis on strategic patent portfolio development and analysis. He regularly prepares and prosecutes patent applications in a variety of fields, including wireless communications, video coding, image analysis, computer generated imagery (CGI) animation, home automation, network security, software, electronics, and medical devices.
"Shelton and I are proud to join the outstanding intellectual property attorneys at Polsinelli," Lezak said. "The firm's growing footprint in California, coupled with its impressive national presence, will enable us to best serve our clients throughout the technology industry."
Last month, the firm's Intellectual Property Department and several of its attorneys earned recognition in the 2018 IAM Patent 1000, a prestigious guide that identifies top patent professionals in key jurisdictions around the world.
Kang joins Polsinelli from McGuireWoods. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of California – Los Angeles, summa cum laude, and his J.D. from Cornell Law School. Both Lezak and Austin join Polsinelli from Kilpatrick Townsend. Lezak received bachelor's degrees from the University of Rochester, the Eastman School of Music, and Purdue University, with distinction; her master's degree from Boston University; and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Austin received his bachelor's degree from Ohio State University and his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law, cum laude.

Proud all smiles after National Swimming Champs
Ben Proud intends to take a few days off over Christmas but he will head straight back into the pool full of confidence afterwards following his record-breaking performances at the ASA National Swimming Championships in Sheffield.

"I'm also pretty pleased with my 50m fly British record. I was actually shocked, I thought I'd maybe dip under 23 so to get a 22.3 was a big surprise.
"I love the 50m fly, it's why I got into the sport, but it's not as relevant right now with the [Olympic] trials in three months.
"I'm going to take a few days off for Christmas and then I'll get back into it. I've got three months until trials and I am really looking forward to this next chunk of work."
