When Kevin Hickey announced he was leaving his post at Allium last September, it was a shock. Then 15 minutes later we received a press release that he was going to be opening a restaurant with Billy Dec that would replace Dragon Ranch, which closed after a fire last January and never reopened.
That day is here—Bottlefork (441 N Clark St) is soft opening right now and you can make dinner reservations starting Tuesday. We recently caught up with the duo to talk about what to expect.
There are numerous categories, including snacks, shareable, and knife and fork, which means you can order an entrée for a traditional dinner, or fill the table with snacks over cocktails.
The kitchen and bar are closely intertwined.
For example: The kitchen smoked a pig, which had been fed spent grains and vegetables that were used in making a beer that's available at the restaurant. Then a cocktail will be made with drippings from the smoker.
Hickey is continuing his relationship with Begyle Brewing.
He started making beer with Begyle while he was at Allium, and for Bottlefork he made Root Cellar Rye, "rye ale done Belgian-style." Hickey says it's a "wintry beer" that's made with sugar beets, parsnips and celeriac from Nichols Farms. Look for a new beer in the spring.
The cocktail list is outrageous.
The Drawing Room's Brandon Phillips is in charge of the bar, and he's made a list of classics (Manhattans, boulevardiers) plus ridiculous things like the $22 the Whale, a martini made with vodka or gin, plus vermouth, orange citrus bitters and a caviar olive, and the $25 Brandy & Cigars, with brandy and a Honduran cigar.
Order the Rich Man Po'boy.
"It's a combination of a New England lobster roll and a po'boy," Hickey says. "It's a really over-the-top sandwich. I love a good po'boy and I also love a great lobster and the combination of the two seemed like a good idea." He takes it to another level with the addition of foie gras mousse.

How is a Lake Formed? The Science Behind The Formation of Lakes
A lake is formed when water seeps into the soil and forms pockets that fill with sediment and other particles. Water can also create lakes by collecting in low-lying areas after heavy rains or melting snow. Lakes are classified according to how they were formed and their shape.
A lake that forms in a depression or basin is called an endorheic lake. Such lakes include the Dead Sea, which has no outlet to the ocean; Lake Eyre, Australia's largest lake, which fills up only when it rains; and the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
A lake that forms on a flat land surface is called an ephemeral lake. These lakes form when the soil is saturated with water, then disappear when it evaporates.
A lake that forms in a depression or basin but has an outlet to another body of water is called a closed lake. Such lakes include the Great Lakes, which the St. Lawrence Seaway connects to the Atlantic Ocean; Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada, which is connected to Pyramid Lake through the Truckee River; and the Dead Sea, which is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Jordan River.
A fast-moving current distinguishes rivers and streams. They can be considered lakes or ponds, depending on their region. In areas where rivers and streams are prevalent, they can contribute to forming lakes.
Over time, rivers and streams can deposit sediment in low-lying areas, eventually forming a lake. The lake's size will depend on the size of the river or stream and the amount of sediment deposited.
Lakes are formed when glaciers move slowly down a mountain due to their weight. The size of a glacier is determined by how much snow and ice it contains at any given time. Glaciers can form in high, cold places or lower, warmer areas. As glaciers move across the Earth's surface, they leave behind snow and ice that melts and forms lakes.
Rainfall and runoff
Rainfall is the main factor that affects runoff and the delivery of nutrients and sediments to lakes. The soil type affects the potential for runoff and erosion, affecting the amount of rainfall and runoff that enters the watershed.
The Difference Between Rivers and Lakes
Land use can also significantly affect the amount of surface water and groundwater inflows and outflows, as well as the amounts and types of sediment, nutrients, and chemicals (natural or synthetic) transported into a lake from the watershed. Finally, lake morphometry (size, shape, depth), currents, and mixing determine how much rainfall runoff enters a lake.
Lakes can form from volcanoes in two ways: either through the eruption of a volcano or through the collapse of a volcano.
A volcano can create a lake by blasting debris and water. The debris and water then fall back down and form a lake. A lake can also develop when a volcano collapses. When a volcano collapses, it creates a crater. The crater then fills with water and becomes a lake.
How are oxbow lakes formed?
Oxbow lakes are usually formed after river floods. The water from the flood changes the river's flow and can create an oxbow lake. Earthquakes can also cause oxbow lakes to form, changing the river's flow. Other natural events, like landslides, can also alter the flow of a river enough to create an oxbow lake.
Oxbow lakes are also sometimes artificial. The most common way to create an oxbow lake is to build a dam across the river. If a river floods and water flows over the dam, it can generate an oxbow lake. Dams are created for many reasons: to provide water for cities and towns, to prevent flooding, or to make a hydroelectric power plant.
How are tectonic lakes formed?
The most common type of tectonic lake is the rift valley lake. These types of lakes form in valleys created by the movement or faulting on either side, often associated with developing a rift valley.
Rift valleys form when the Earth's crust is stretched apart and thinned, allowing molten rock to rise up from below the surface. Rift valley lakes often have steep sides, with a deep basin in the middle.
Rift valleys are often associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes. Some of the world's largest lakes are rift valley lakes formed in the Great Rift Valley of Africa.
Why is Lake Mead Drying Up? | The Shrinking of America's Largest Reservoir
How are the great lakes formed?
Glaciers formed the Great Lakes during the ice age. As the climate warmed, glaciers began to recede and expose the land they had carved. This led to the formation of glacial lakes. As the atmosphere continued to warm, glaciers continued to melt and fill in the scarred terrain they left behind, leading to an increase in the number of glacial lakes.
As the climate continued to warm, glaciers melted even more. Eventually, glaciers completely disappeared and left behind depressions in the land that filled with water creating lakes. In conclusion, as the climate warmed, glaciers melted and left craters in the land filled with water creating lakes.
How can lakes dry up?
Lakes can dry up for a variety of reasons. One reason is reduced inflow to the lake due to climate change. The lake's level can drop with less water flowing into the lake.
Another reason lakes can dry up is increased diversion for irrigated agriculture.
When water is diverted from a lake for irrigation, it can reduce the water in the lake, causing the level to drop.
The building of dams can also cause lakes to dry up. Dams can block water flow into a lake, reducing the lake's water. This can cause the level of the lake to drop.
Reduced rainfall over the surface of a lake can also lead to decreased water levels in a lake. If there is less rain, less water is available to fill the lake, and the level will drop.
How are man-made lakes formed?
If a lake is man-made, it is created by the construction of an artificial barrier or dam. This causes water to overtop its banks and flood nearby land for as long as the water level remains higher than the border's height.
Sometimes, a natural lake will be enlarged to form a man-made reservoir. In other instances, an existing pond may be dammed to increase the lake's size.

HomePro Line 3 Group Drops $247,000 on Facebook Ads; MN Senate Proposes New Felonies for Pipeline Opponents
Pro Line 3 Group Drops $247,000 on Facebook Ads; MN Senate Proposes New Felonies for Pipeline Opponents
April 29, 2019 April 30, 2019 healingmn Enbridge Line 3Bde Maka Ska, Lake Calhoun, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, Minnesotans for Line 3
A pro-Enbridge Line 3 pipeline group spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars since November on Facebook ads to sway Minnesotans' perceptions of this unnecessary and risky project.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Senate today approved new felony crimes for those who trespass on pipeline property or damage pipeline equipment or property.
Screen grab of Facebook ad.
Canadian company Enbridge has proposed building a new and larger Line 3 tar sands crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota, with a capacity of up to 915,000 barrels a day. It threatens the state's clean waters, indigenous treaty rights and the world's climate.
Perhaps you've seen ads touting Enbridge Line 3 pop up on your Facebook page, such as the one to the right. The group Minnesotans for Line 3 (MN4L3) bought them, according to a story today in E&E News, an environmental and energy trade news service.
The story said Minnesotans for Line 3 spent $247,000 on the ad buy since November, making it "the nation's 10th-highest spender on issue advocacy digital advertising between November and April, according to the campaign finance tracking organization Tech For Campaigns."
(Recall from an earlier post, Enbridge Energy Partners spent more than $11 million lobbying in Minnesota in 2018, almost all on influencing the PUC to approve the expansion of Line 3. That made Enbridge the top lobbying spender by far that year.)
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC's) approved the project last year. These ads buys suggest Enbridge and its supporters know the project still is on thin ice.
The PUC's approval faces multiple challenges in the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The Line 3 environmental impact statement also faces court challenges. Line 3 still needs a number of state and federal permits.
The Facebook ads are pure pr spin. The statement "Line 3 engages with: environmental groups" is meaningless. Defense attorneys engage with prosecutors, too, but that doesn't mean they agree on anything.
The Minnesotans for Line 3 website describes the group as "an active, grassroots organization of people who understand how important it is to have reliable energy to power our economy and help maintain everyone's quality of life."
This not only ignores key facts, but turns them on their head. First, Minnesotans for Line 3 suggests the pipeline is necessary for Minnesota's "reliable energy." It is not. The Administrative Law Judge who spent months reviewing the Line 3 proposal concluded in her report (page 9) that:
[Enbridge] has not, however, established, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Minnesota refiners or the people of Minnesota would be adversely impacted by denial of [Line 3]. The evidence shows that Minnesota refiners are currently receiving sufficient amounts of crude oil to meet their production needs.
Second, Minnesotans for Line 3 suggests the project is needed to "help maintain everyone's quality of life." It fails to mention that Line 3's "social costs of carbon" — the increased storms, floods, and droughts related to the crude oil pumped through Line 3 — would add $287 billion over three decades in damages. That is not a quality of life improvement for anyone.
The names listed on the Minnesotans for Line 3 website are associated with JR Jensen Construction, United Piping, and Gordon Construction.
Minnesota Senate Adds New Felonies for Pipeline Protests
In other news, the Minnesota Senate today approved new felony crimes for those who trespass on property where a pipeline is being built, or who damage pipeline property. The language was attached as an amendment to the Omnibus Jobs and Economic Development Bill. The amendment passed 52-15.
Current law makes it a gross misdemeanor for people who trespass on pipeline property and refuse to leave when asked. The amendment makes it a felony for someone who trespasses on pipeline property — or property where a new pipeline is being built — with the intent to disrupt operations. The proposed penalties for such trespass are imprisonment for up to five years, a fine up to $10,000, or both.
Current law makes it a felony to damage pipeline property with intent to "significantly disrupt" operations. The penalty is up to 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. The amendment weakens the burden of proof for prosecutors, deleting the word "significantly." It also adds a new felony for a pipeline opponent who "alters the equipment or physical operations" of a pipeline. The penalty for this new crime would be up to seven years in prison, a $20,000 fine or both.
The amendment also allows the court to order those found guilty to pay restitution for damages.
Details of the Omnibus bill will be negotiated in Conference Committee.

David Eischens says:
Mean time entities in the State of Minnesota, mostly the republican political sector have intentionally violated Federal Treaty policy that Anishinaabeg and Dakota have with the United States of America, not the state governments', but Federal. Meaning, the decisions the state has made regarding Treaty Territory are legally in violation of 100s of years old and still legally binding Treaties. In those Treaties it gives Tribes exclusive right to deal solely with the federal government and don't require Tribes to have to accept state decisions that affect Treaty Territory.
The state knows this, but also knows it takes years of court proceedings to get the federal government involved, the state intentionally takes advantage of this and allows foreign oil corporations to run amuck on or across Treaty Territory. Those Federal Treaties actually mean something in the Federal side of the government, and best believe, regardless of Trump's administration dead set on destroying everything connected to Native people's, the fact remains, Treaties are Supreme law of the land, and many Supreme Court Justices have affirmed that as well!
So yes, line 3 is violating Federal Treaties and Tribes have a right to say no.
It's not right that these old racist ways are still going in 2019, that's what it boils down too, systematic racism, environmental racism and a very long and documented history of racism from this state towards Indigenous relatives. That is fact.
- Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light says:
[…] In April 2019, local media outlets Insight News and the Minneapolis Spokesman-Recorder published articles titled "Environmental Racism Grows as Environmental Groups Turn Increasingly White" and "Mostly White environmental groups downplay Black issues," both written by Washington D.C.-based media consultant Hazel Trice Edney. The articles have been widely criticized by the Minnesota climate justice community as divide-and-conquer pieces. The articles come in context of a massive PR campaign for the Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline (see "Pro Line 3 Group Drops $247,000 on Facebook Ads"). […]


Tourism is considered as one of the most lucrative industries in the Philippines. Rich in natural wonders and steeped in colorful history and diverse culture; Philippine tourism has made a significant contribution in creating a favorable image for the country and in creating livelihood for hundreds of Filipinos.
As a way of initiating its own support to the country's tourism sector, the Miss Global Philippines Foundation, Inc. organizes the Miss Global Philippines pageant – a search for deserving Filipino women who will serve as a Tourism Ambassador promoting Philippine heritage and its world-class destinations here and abroad.
The organization believes that a beauty pageant is an effective platform to showcase what the Philippines has to offer. Exuding beauty and charm, the eventual winners of the pageant will embody the hospitality of the Filipinos known all over the world in helping the government strengthen its tourism campaign.
Moreover, the pageant embraces both single and single mothers who possess not just beauty, but also the passion to serve and the commitment to make a difference for the Philippines and its people.
To be a national beauty pageant known for fielding outstanding and deserving Filipino women who will work towards the promotion of Philippine tourism.
Miss Global Philippines is set to provide support to government initiatives, both on national and local levels, in promoting Philippine tourism through the concerted efforts of the organization and the pageant's eventual winners.


Does anyone have Rainbow Six Rougue Spear Blackthorn?
is that the Xbox version?
Rogue Spear had two expansions, Urban Ops and a stand alone Blackthorn.
Most of th e weapons we know and love (or hate) debutted in these 3 games. Because the _first_ R6 basically gave you the choice of loud, suppressed, or kompact MP5, CAR-15/M16, or Shotgun. Plus loud/SD M9, MK23, USP40's. With mags, HBS, lock/demo/elecro kits, breaches, bangs, and frags. Other then that you didn't really get crap outside of your Light/Medium/Heavy camo's until the Rogue Spear era.
how could you forget Cover Ops???
I have it also. I have only played it to beat the missions it came with, then it went on the shelf.

BRAID RETURN WITH 'NO COAST' LP: 'EXCITING MATERIAL THAT WOULD SPEAK TO ALL OF OUR FANS, OLD AND NEW'
15th May 2014 No Comments
Urbana, Illinois based indie-rock band Braid – Chris Broach (guitar/vocals), Bob Nanna (guitar/vocals), Todd Bell (bass), and Damon Atkinson (drums) – return with 'No Coast', the first album in 16 years, released on Tuesday, July 8 via Topshelf Records. Check out 'Bang'.
Chris Broach explains: 'No Coast' is more of a rebirth of the band rather than a simple reunion. "I think we feel like we want this to be an introduction to Braid more than a follow-up to previous material. We wanted to capture the spirit and dynamic tension that comes from having two guys up front that have a lot to say and a rhythm section that helps shape the songs. We spent a lot of time looking to where we could give each instrument its own space on the record – everything has its place, and its very deliberate."
Bob Nanna adds: "The drive has always been there to create new, exciting material that would speak to all of our fans, old and new. We're excited with how the record turned out and look forward to Braid's busy future."
Here's Braid's 1998 indie-rock classic 'Frame & Canvas'.

Aleksa would have been 22 today, but he killed himself because of peer violence. His law didn't pass
During this time, peer violence has become popular, an Instagram topic, something that children do not raise their voices against, but instead raise their phones, and are not gathering the courage to stop it, but instead collect views and shares
Foto: Facebook/AlexaJankovic
Aleksa Jankovic from Nis would today be a young man of 22 had he not committed suicide in 2011, no longer able to cope with the peer violence to which he was exposed at school. A proposal for harsher punishment of students who commit such violence called "Aleksa's Law," has not been adopted. In recent days, Serbia has been inundated with videos of children tormenting each other or continuously. For such behavior, they generally receive reduced conduct grades.
The kids because of whom Aleksa didn't want to go to school eight years ago were just kids, too. About 14, 15 years old - just likes the victim, participants and witnesses to a case of peer violence in Barajevo, which has since last week has not ceased to disgust the country.
Some point the finger at parents, thinking they should be punished, others would send the violent girls to a correctional facility, others still would sack the minister, blamesthe children who stood around and laughed at the slaps their friend was receiving, or solve everything with money fines for all responsible persons and their guardians.
Video: Zastrašujući snimak vršnjačkog nasilja u Barajevu
Fortunately, children from Barajevo will be given a second chance to look in the mirror and ask themselves what kind of person they are growing up to be, they will get a chance to improve, while the child who survived violence will get a chance to recover. Let's hope they use it.

Busu otakazala ručna pa oborio radnika: Čovek je mogao smrtno da nastrada
But there can be no solution when a child suffering violence commits suicide. When a child jumps off the balcony, or slashes their wrists, or hangs themselves in the barn because "children are only children." And we, who are not children, persistently turn our heads away and when a tragedy or a warning occurs, we get a little clever, we get a little disgusted, and in fact we allow the only changes in society to be cosmetic and not essential. Violent children, children who are also in evident need of help, are transferred to another class, receive reduced conduct grades, don't go to school for a while... The victim is buried or forgotten over time. Unless it's our own child.
During this time, peer violence has become popular, an Instagram topic, something that children do not raise their voices against, but instead raise their phones, and are not gathering the courage to stop it, but instead collect views and shares. Every day, new clips of child abuse at the hands of their classmates appear in the media and on social networks. Kids beat each other in the middle of the schoolyard, in parks, over gossip, over a boyfriend...
Video: Da li je do nasilja nad devojčicom došlo zbog dečka?
During all that time, Dragana Jankovic, Aleksa's mother, fought for the adoption of Aleksa's Law, which is aimed at combating violence among children. But as she has been told, this law would not be passed.
"Aleksa's Law will not be adopted and we have said it repeatedly. One of the reasons why it can't be adopted, as we have been told, is that it does not comply with European conventions on the rights of the child, i.e., that more severe punishments against the child-student who commits violence in a school would ostracize them from society, that is, the community. The paradox is that some key parts of Aleksa's Law are reformulated precisely from the countries that are the creators of these conventions and where they are even stricter," says Dragana Jankovic.
"Parts of Aleksa's Law have in fact entered a new law on the basics of upbringing and education, but the two most important items, harsher penalties for students who commit violence in schools but also those responsible at the school who do not react or who cover up violence, did not. And that is the essence of Aleksa's Law, that's what Aleksa's Law is! This was happening to Aleksa and it is happening to other children now, because all cases of violence, but also the reactions of those responsible in some schools, are almost identical," she told Nedeljnik last year.

Алекса Јанковић из Ниша, који би данас имао 22 године починио је самоубиство, 2011. године због вршњачког насиља којем је био изложен у својој школи. Предлог за строже кажњавање ученика који врши насиље у школ назван по њему "Алексин закон", није усвојен
— Gaga Aleksina mama (@GagaAleksina) September 17, 2019
WHAT IS ALEKSA'S LAW?
Aleksa's Law implies a change in multiple legal acts that govern different areas, but their common denominator is the fight against peer violence.
In addition to introducing stricter punitive measures against teachers and parents, for the first time in our country there would be suspension of students and transfer of students to another institution without parental consent. Suspensions would be a new disciplinary punishment by which the student is removed from the class for a certain period of time.
The idea was to shift the problem of deviant behavior to the family: parents, guardians, foster parents, and others who perform the function and role of a parent to the child.
Vršnjačko nasilje je problem koji pohađa svaku sferu društva Foto: Profimedia
One of the novelties is the so-called "student behavior agreement". This amendment provides for a delay of the student's suspension for minor violations of their obligations if, with the consent of the parents and with assistance and support of the professional service of the institution, he or she concludes a behavioral agreement with the institution.
Another proposal was to set up a separate body in each institution to deal exclusively with organizing and conducting activities aimed at preventing peer violence. The director would be required to form a mixed peer violence prevention team. Peer violence prevention teams now exist in our country.
Do you think that Serbia needs a better systemic solution to combat peer violence? Do you think it needs to be more effectively sanctioned outside the school, not just inside it? Let us know in the comments.

ENTDECKE UNSERE GESCHICHTE
High above the acacia crowns of the Kenyan steppe, the impressive animal herds of the Serengeti in view - a view for which Denys Finch Hatton climbs into his "Gipsy Moth" biplane as often as possible. But before the British aristocrat would become a famous bush pilot, Finch Hatton is faced with a far-reaching decision: try to recover a lost fortune in England or blaze new trails - in the unknown African wilderness?
DENYS FINCH HATTON
A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA
Scion of the aristocracy, student at the famous Eton College - Denys Finch Hatton's life at the beginning of the 20th century seems to be proceeding in a well-regulated manner. But behind the chic façade, the first cracks begin to appear, for his ancestors have gambled away a handsome fortune. Young Denys is faced with a choice: get a high school education and marry rich or dare to do something new.
In 1911, the 24-year-old Denys Finch Hatton undertakes a journey that is to shape his life. He visited South Africa with relatives and was fascinated by the continent, which was foreign to him. In the same year, his uncle leaves him a small fortune. Finch Hatton does not think twice and travels to present-day Kenya to buy a farm there, without any previous knowledge, but with a great sense of adventure. From then on, he spends most of his years in Africa, but not as a farmer - he leaves the local work to a partner - but as a big-game hunter, safari guide, bush pilot and, what he is probably still best known for today, as a game guide and, what he is probably still best known for today, as a lover of Karen Blixen.
KAREN BLIXEN
OUT OF AFRICA IN CAPE TOWN
It is his relationship with the Danish writer and coffee farmer Karen Blixen that inspires the film "Beyond Africa". In 1985, this film is also released in the country Denys Finch Hatton visited in 1911 and which changed his life: Kenya.
At that time, the young German Roger Brandts is in South Africa. Similar to Finch Hatton, he is also fascinated by the Black Continent - and by the life of the British adventurer, which he gets to know through the cinema film: "When I did a 6-month internship in South Africa in the mid-1980s in preparation for my studies in textile engineering, and during that time the film "Beyond Africa" was also released in cinemas, I was captivated. Not only by this wonderful continent, but also by the person Denys Finch Hatton, played in the film by Robert Redford. A great man who took his liberties and who loved the nature and wildness of Africa." - Roger Brandts Roger Brandts
WHY FYNCH-HATTON?
The name is quickly found: Fynch-Hatton, in homage to Denys Finch Hatton, who impressed with his independence, his love of adventure and his love of freedom. The business plan is quickly drawn up, but now it's time to convince buyers and suppliers. Not an easy matter: competition is high and not everyone shares Brandts' vision. But just like Denys Finch Hatton, Roger Brandts, with the help of his initially still small team, remains persistent and does not allow himself to be diverted from his path.
DOWN-TO-EARTH, FREEDOM AND SIMPLY DOING THINGS
Slowly but steadily, Fynch-Hatton is beginning to establish itself. And as the range of products grows, so does the Fynch-Hatton team, which has turned Roger Brandt's idea into a success: the distinctive fashion brand with the umbrella acacia as its logo, the typical tree of the African savannah. Together they work towards one goal: to live up to Denys Finch Hatton's love of adventure and spirit. True to Brandt's motto of "making", the range has been steadily expanding for 20 years - from knitwear products to Total Look, i.e. everything a man needs to be well dressed. And not only the products, from shirts to trousers to shoes, are becoming more diverse, but also the locations of the Fynch-Hatton shops. Today, men can buy Fynch-Hatton clothing in around 55 countries and in the online shop, and at a fair price, because the Fynch-Hatton team has set itself the goal of offering its customers stylish, high-quality fashion that suits every situation in life. The main goal is to remain flexible and honest and, like Denys Finch Hatton, not to be afraid of adventures.

There is no doubt that WordPress is a wonderful piece of software. It came a long way from its humble origins as a simple blogging platform. Nowadays, it powers 38% of all websites built with a Content Management System. It is used not only for personal blogs but for business websites—both big and small—ecommerce websites, news websites, and much more.
And thanks to the vast collection of themes and plugins, it allows anyone to create a beautiful and functional website without having to delve deep into the code.
Of course, the fact that WordPress is free and open source is yet another thing that makes WordPress so great. Anyone can download and use WordPress without having to pay for a license fee. And because it's open source, anyone can contribute to WordPress in many ways to make it even greater. From translators to developers to everyday users who proudly promote WordPress make it possible for WordPress to continually grow.
But the best thing about WordPress is its community. In many ways, without the huge and very generous community behind it, WordPress wouldn't be what it is today.
WordCamps are held every year and they are based on local meetups and events sponsored by local WordPress communities. They usually include multiple talks and session on how to use WordPress more effectively, beginning plugin and theme development, advanced techniques, security, and much more. There is no special requirement to attend any WordCamp, just a strong love for WordPress and a desire to learn more.
They are attended by people ranging from blogging newbies to professional WordPress developers and consultants, who want to spread their knowledge about WordPress and participate in various programming activities, live demos, Q&A, workshops, and more. As much as it is an educational and learning experience, it's also about making connections, creating collaborations, launching new projects using WordPress, and most importantly, giving back to the community.
We all know creating a custom WordPress website is the best way to go when you want a professional design representing your business. But for a lot of small business bloggers and personal bloggers, a custom-made website is not always feasible. This is where marketplaces like ThemeForest step in.
ThemeForest is one of the largest marketplaces for premium WordPress themes that bridge the gap between having a professional website without completely draining your bank account. You can buy a beautifully designed theme for as little as $50 which includes updates and support from the theme author.
The best part about them is that they are easy to install and include plenty of documentation that makes it possible to setup your website even if you are a complete novice. And when you're a small business owner in the beginning stages of your business, saving money counts.
Featured files on ThemeForest, a WordPress marketplace.
That's why theme marketplaces such as ThemeForest are incredibly useful; it's developed for WordPress, and provides its user base with a huge selection of quality themes and professional design.
The same goes for plugins. There are many plugin authors who offer premium plugins for WordPress which add even more functionality to a WordPress based website. From social sharing plugins like Shareaholic and Social Warfare to e-commerce solutions like WooCommerce and CodeCanyon where you can find a variety of WordPress plugins to fulfill almost every need.
When something becomes popular, almost inevitably a community forms around it. The same goes for WordPress. Aside from the marketplaces mentioned above, there are plenty of online communities involving Facebook and Google+ groups, which make the WordPress community a vibrant one.
You can join these groups to discuss the latest in WordPress development and get help with optimizing your website for search engines, making your website load faster, and get help with specific themes.
There is a huge community for WordPress users who prefer the Genesis framework and all of its child themes. Similarly, there's a group for Divi fans.
And let's not forget the official WordPress forums where you can find answers to almost every question and problem related to WordPress.
Considering WordPress is open source, there are many developers and volunteers who actively contribute to it on a daily basis.
Not only do they contribute to WordPress core, improving the code, fixing bugs, and developing new features, many of them own their own businesses centered around WordPress.
Some of them provide custom WordPress development services which range from creating one-of-a-kind WordPress websites to coding custom plugins which add very specific functionality to websites.
A board at WordCamp USA.
Some, like The WP Butler, specialize in the more technical aspects of maintaining websites, offering website management services such as backups, updates, and troubleshooting.
Some have created apps and plugins that help you keep your website secure and make it easy to manage multiple sites by allowing people to use a single unified dashboard or host WordPress only websites. And many participate in the support forums, offering answers to most common problems and fixes for, not only for their free plugins, but for other issues as well.
Chances are, if you're using WordPress you have, at some point, turned to the Internet for help. Whether it's learning how to modify a particular file or how to customize a part of your theme, you were probably overwhelmed with the number of links that showed up as the result.
The fact is there are numerous blogs about WordPress which cover every topic imaginable.
Whether you are a complete beginner and want to learn how WordPress works or if you're a more experienced user intrigued by theme or plugin development, there is a blog for you.
wpMail is a newsletter all about the best in WordPress.

Donate to Hurricane Matthew Relief Efforts Now!
At the Mountaintop Baz we will be helping a number of families in our community of Mizak repair their homes after damage wrought by the Category 4 Hurricane Matthew that swept through the southern part of Haiti on October 3 and 4th. The storm brought winds over 140 mph and torrential rains that ripped off many of the tin roofs that the majority of houses in our community have and ruining the possessions that these families had inside. All of the farmers in our community also suffered the loss of crops, fruit trees, and livestock during the storm. Our goal is to raise at least $6,000 to be able to help at least 12 families repair their roofs and receive immediate aid after the storm. Please donate today to help us help our neighbors recover from Matthew. Thank You!

Neutrollization: Industrialized trolling as a pro-Kremlin strategy of desecuritization
This article considers the significance of trolling for security processes through a contextual analysis of industrialized pro-Kremlin trolling in the Russian blogosphere. The publicity surrounding Russia's hacking activities in international politics conceals the significance of the domestic trolling culture in Russia and its role in the 'trolling turn' in Russia's foreign policy. We contextually identify the practice of 'neutrollization' – a type of localized desecuritization where the regime adopts trolling to prevent being cast as a societal security threat by civil society. Neutrollization relies on counterfeit internet activism, ostensibly originating from the citizenry, that produces political disengagement by breeding radical doubt in a manner that is non-securitizing. Rather than advocating a distinct political agenda, and in contrast to conventional understandings of the operations of propaganda, neutrollization precludes the very possibility of meaning, obviating the need to block the internet in an openly authoritarian manner. It operates by preventing perlocution – that is, the social consequences of the security speech act. This prevention is achieved through the breaking or disrupting of the context in which acts of securitization could possibly materialize, and is made possible by a condition of 'politics without telos' that is different from the varieties of depoliticization more familiar in Western societies.

Chiasmatic crossings: A reflexive revisit of a research encounter in European security
This article makes an argument about chiasmatic knowledge production that seeks to cut across the entrenched division between the subject and object of inquiry, on the one hand, and the narrative and normative authority of the scholar, on the other, that is inherent in most writing in international relations. We revisit our own research encounter in the field of European security to explore the premises and implications of fieldwork relationships between researchers and practitioners and show their potentially transformative effects. Classifying such engagements as acts of professional transgression by both sets of parties overlooks their promise to facilitate the understanding of security practice 'from within' and to provide for tangible scholarly and political criticality. It is argued that, in the restricted realm of security, extensive interaction with practitioners could be a proxy for participant observation. Yet, we look further than that. We develop a concept of 'chiasmatic crossings' that reflects and helps theorize the ideational give-and-take and conceptual ruptures in the process of co-authorship that are indicative of distinct trajectories in European security research. This challenges the knowledge claims and static positions of both 'problem-solving' and 'critical' scholars in the field.

'Solana Milieu' : Framing Security Policy
The aim of this article is to contribute to a better understanding of the process of security policy production at the Brussels level. Two points are made. First, it is shown that in order to grasp the logic of policy outcomes it is crucial to analyse the major actors in the field, the patterns of the interaction they forge and the notions that inform their political action. I single out an entity, which I call the Solana milieu, and illustrate how this environment has become a significant policy entrepreneur in the realm of EU's security policy. I propose that a dynamic approach to frame analysis is useful to unravel the modus operandi of this ambience. In particular, it offers a way beyond the oft-repeated criticism of policy incoherence whose elimination would allegedly bring a remedy to the under-performance in the EU's security policy. It argues instead that policy controversies are inevitable due to the institutional identities that are at play. Secondly, the investigation into one security-making field illustrates the inherent politicisation of the process, which nuances the argument about the inevitable shift away from 'normal politics' when security questions arise.

Introduction : The Politics of European Security Policies
This article sketches the theoretical framework that informs the analyses in the Special Issue. Two issues drive the inquiries. First, the bottom-up approach to EU security that tracks contingent security practices and their performers. Various EU actors engage in intense political struggles which bring out the contentious character of security policy and nuance the claim of its extraordinary and thus apolitical nature. Analytically, this shows that the meaning of EU security needs to be empirically investigated rather than solved by definitions which may have a limited heuristic value against the EU's multifaceted security field. Secondly, the analyses bring to bear the blurring of the divide between the external and internal security in EU policy, both in the sense of the consolidation of the EU project as such and regarding the EU's policy towards its neighbours. The externalisation of security concerns and the EU's state-building activities in its neighbourhood are examples thereof.

PureTech's Affiliate Karuna Announces $68 Million Series B Financing
Financing led ARCH Venture Partners, with participation from Fidelity Management & Research Company, Eventide Asset Management, Pivotal bioVenture Partners, Partner Fund Management, Wellcome Trust, Sands Capital, Alexandria Venture Investments, and founder PureTech Health
Proceeds will support clinical development of lead product candidate, KarXT, into additional indications and expansion of the pipeline
PureTech Health plc (LSE: PRTC) ("PureTech Health"), an advanced biopharmaceutical company developing novel medicines for dysfunctions of the Brain-Immune-Gut (BIG) axis, today announced that its affiliate Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. ("Karuna," formerly Karuna Pharmaceuticals), has completed a $68 million Series B financing round, including the issuance of $5 million in shares upon conversion of debt into equity. Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance the development of KarXT into several new indications, including geriatric psychosis and pain; to progress new formulations of KarXT; expand the pipeline; and to continue to build company infrastructure. KarXT, Karuna's lead product candidate, is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial as a potential treatment for acute psychosis in patients with schizophrenia.
Eric Elenko, PhD, chief innovation officer at PureTech Health, said: "We are pleased to have the participation of this top tier group of new and existing investors in Karuna as the company continues to progress KarXT through a Phase 2 study in schizophrenia and looks to expand into new indications, including geriatric psychosis and pain where there is tremendous patient need."
The full text announcement from Karuna is as follows:
Karuna Announces $68 Million Series B Financing
Proceeds will be used to advance clinical development of lead product candidate, KarXT, for additional indications beyond the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in schizophrenia and for expansion of the pipeline
BOSTON, March 18, 2019 — Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. ("Karuna," formerly Karuna Pharmaceuticals), focused on targeting muscarinic cholinergic receptors for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders including psychosis in schizophrenia, psychosis in Alzheimer's disease, and pain, today announced the completion of a $68 million Series B financing round, including the issuance of $5 million in shares upon conversion of debt into equity.
The financing was led by ARCH Venture Partners, with participation from Fidelity Management & Research Company, Eventide Asset Management, Pivotal bioVenture Partners, Partner Fund Management, Wellcome Trust, Sands Capital, Alexandria Venture Investments, and founder PureTech Health. Heather Preston, M.D., managing director of Pivotal bioVenture Partners, has joined the board of directors of Karuna.
KarXT, Karuna's lead product candidate, is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial as a potential treatment for acute psychosis in patients with schizophrenia. Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance the development of KarXT into several new indications, including geriatric psychosis and pain, progress new formulations of KarXT, expand the pipeline, and continue to build company infrastructure.
"Patients living with schizophrenia often must choose among treatment options that only partly address their disabling psychotic and cognitive symptoms, often with undesirable side effects. Karuna's mission is to deliver a more effective and better-tolerated treatment for this large and underserved patient population. We believe this financing will enable us to deliver multiple milestones across our product-focused pipeline while expanding the capabilities and potential of our muscarinic receptor platform," said Steve Paul, M.D., chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Karuna.
"Karuna has continued to make strong progress advancing its pipeline, including ongoing enrollment in their Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of acute psychosis in patients with schizophrenia, and we are encouraged by the data supporting this novel approach to addressing a core symptom of a variety of disabling and all-too-common central nervous system disorders," said Robert Nelsen, co-founder and managing director of ARCH Venture Partners. "As an investor focused on companies with innovative approaches to meeting patient needs, we are pleased to support the next stage of Karuna's development."
About KarXT
KarXT (Karuna-Xanomeline-Trospium), Karuna's lead product candidate for the treatment of psychosis in schizophrenia, consists of xanomeline, a novel muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that has demonstrated efficacy in placebo-controlled human trials in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, and trospium chloride, an FDA-approved and well-established muscarinic receptor antagonist that has been shown not to enter the central nervous system (CNS). KarXT is designed to preferentially target M1/M4 muscarinic receptors in the brain while inhibiting their stimulation in peripheral tissues to significantly improve tolerability. Karuna has completed two Phase 1 clinical trials which demonstrated a clinically meaningful reduction in side effects compared to xanomeline and demonstrated that KarXT is well tolerated in healthy volunteers. A proprietary co-formulation of xanomeline and trospium in a single capsule was used in the second Phase 1 clinical trial and is now being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with schizophrenia experiencing acute psychosis. Top-line data from this trial are anticipated by the end of 2019. A Phase 1b experimental pain trial in healthy volunteers and clinical work towards geriatric psychosis are expected to begin later this year.
About Karuna Therapeutics
Karuna is a clinical-stage drug development company focused on targeting muscarinic cholinergic receptors for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders including psychosis in schizophrenia, psychosis in Alzheimer's disease, and pain. Karuna's lead product candidate, KarXT, (Karuna-Xanomeline-Trospium) is being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with schizophrenia experiencing acute psychosis, with top-line results anticipated at the end of 2019. Karuna, which was founded by PureTech Health (LSE: PRTC), has a worldwide exclusive license for xanomeline and has a patent portfolio more broadly covering selective muscarinic targeting enabled by the KarXT approach.

Can't resist the siren call of space. [Navy]
Phoenix Edorath
Everything was in perfect order.
Raven curls pinned back into a neat bun. Black cargo pants neatly pressed and tucked into the tops of her polished black boots. Crisp white shirt and tanktop, layered and tucked in at her slender waist. Black bordered ID tags on their silver chain around her neck.
Everything was as it should be; her attention to the smallest detail one of the points that had gotten her nearly perfect marks at the Academy. She had to be perfect...she was, after all, compensating for the failure of her family to properly support the Empire in its time of need. Traitors, the lot of them, she mused, fingers adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder.
But that didn't matter anymore.
They were no longer her concern. Phoenix would bring the pride and honor back to the Edorath family name. Single-handedly, as was necessary, and even if it demanded the heftiest of prices.
She took a deep, steadying breath, and allowed her careful steps to carry her up to the main desk. "Phoenix Edorath. Just in from the Academy." she said softly in reply to the woman's request, nodding as she did. Her files and information were complete and had arrived the day prior as expected.
It was a mere few minutes before she was shown to a small interview office, and told to wait. Phoenix sighed softly as the door closed behind her, leaving her with a small semblance of privacy for the moment. Bag placed on a bench beside the door, she strode over to the small window, hands clasped behind her back and her posture straight. It overlooked a small, well kept patch of lawn, beyond which was a track and field set up for PT.
A slight frown curled her lips, her thoughts steady as she contemplated which of the squadrons were accepting new members. Fresh out of the Academy new members, at that. High scores and impeccable grades weren't much use to a pilot out in the black...it certainly wouldn't make a prospective squadron and wingman anymore accepting.
The door behind her opened, however, forestalling any further thought. Her expression smoothed as she turned, ebon eyes cascading across the small space to catch sight of her interviewer.

Damon Riggs
"Fresh meat for the grinder. Riggs you're up," A burley voice called out as the individual's file was handed over to Damon.
Everything seemed to be in order, except for the alien aspect. Riggs had been raised to be as elitist as possible. His parents had served in government, and therefore, Riggs had been raised to be the perfect model of an Imperial child. Of course that was while his parents were still living, something that was no longer the case and had not been for some time. The six foot three inch pilot pushed the issue aside after viewing her test scores, and academic record. If she was willing to serve the Empire, and if there was an officer willing to place her when the interview was over, then who was he to judge. That's what he told himself anyway.
His large frame stepped through the door. A large hand indicated the alien woman could remain seated. Why couldn't she have been a Chiss. At least Riggs tolerated them, well, because Eliza did. Their military genius had earned the respect of Damon's lover, and his because of it. Riggs droped the file on the table as he took a seat, mostly for show in order to see how intimidated the woman would be, all of it a test.
"Miss...." eyes looked to the open file, "Edorath," Riggs began, clearing his throat. "Academy graduate, decent exam scores, high marks in all your classes."
Riggs closed the file, and looked the woman in the eyes. He was slightly self conscious about the scar which formed a line from just under his hairline to this eyebrow on the right side of his face. The hair was starting to discolor as well where the scar ran unseen under the hair. It would be stark white soon, or so the medic's had told him, once the hair follicles where the injury was were dead.
"Why the Empire?"
She very nearly smiled.
It would take a great deal more than a folder hitting a desk to intimidate her. Did it not occur to him that she'd endured the entirety of the Academy with her emerald skin marking her as an alien? It had made no difference to her instructors and classmates after a few years. Years she had spent proving herself as a loyal Imperial subject and a gifted pilot who's skills were unmatched among her yearmates.
It would take more than him to intimidate her, especially as she was, at a glance, nearly a match for him in height. But as he motioned for her to remain seated, she did so, though she shifted to a straight postured position, hands folded neatly in her lap.
"Because I was raised by my grandmother, who was a staunch and loyal Imperial subject. Because my immediate family has dishonored our legacy and shamed our surname by following the path of service to the Republic. It has fallen to me to return honor to my name by deeds done in service to the Empress." Phoenix said after a moment, her voice carrying her convictions and an appropriate tone, of course.
Not even a flinch. Looks like the woman was quite used to this type of greeting. No matter, Riggs wasn't there to keep her from joining. His job was simply to vet her, and make a recomendation to whichever officer would walk into the interview later. A short nod affirmed her answer was satisfactory to him, then opened the file once more.
"As I said, your scores are very good, and speak for themselves. There is no techincal reason why you can't be a pilot. You wouldn't have graduated if that were the case. I'm not making the call though."
A pither of water and two glasses sat on the end of the table. Riggs reached over and poured a glass for the candidate, and one for himself. This wasn't a barbaric military by any means, and simple things like water in a glass during an interview, is what separated them from the rebels.
"What skills do you have that make you think you can do this, besides what the test scores say I mean? Good technical scores are only part of the equation of making a good pilot."
A short nod was offered by way of thanks, one hand reaching out to draw the glass to her lips for a sip. Crisp and cool, the water was a simple and well-received courtesy she had, to be honest, not expected.
Glass settled in her hands, she pondered the question for a moment longer, wondering how best to proceed. "What the test scores do not precisely tell you is the hours I spend studying and working in the sims. Those particular scores are for the TIE line of ships, and I have trained, both simulated and live flight, in not only the TIEs, but all manner of other fighter craft. We were one of the first classes to train with everything available to our proud Navy, given that sheer variety that our squadrons are now comprised of."
Another sip, and the young woman continued. "I am also possessed of swift reflexes and distinct agility which lends itself well to piloting. I have trained myself to think critically and strategically, as is evidenced by my Academy grades, and I pride myself on being a reasonable, prudent, and thoughtful person. I am also an accomplished mechanic, as I took a second major in my time at the Academy and am certified to work on everything from TIEs to Clawcraft."
Calwcraft! Riggs mused to himself for a moment as the cool contents of the clear glass slid down his throat. Perhaps this new cadet could be usefull to Captain Steele. Damon would have to let her know of the alien cadet should she be accepted to the Navy. Everything in front of him screamed that this particular applicant wanted to be a pilot as opposed to someone stuck on a battleship. Riggs couldn't blame her. The large pilot had done both, and was glad Lizzy, er... Captain Steele, had gotten him back into flying.
"Sounds like you're dead set on being a pilot then," Riggs said by way of observation rather than as a question. "Most of your scores here are for TIE, granted that's what we still use mostly, and most pilots dream of flying with the 181st, so is heart set on flying TIE or just flying?"
"Just flying." Phoenix replied without a second thought. There wasn't even a second thought to have, frankly. She just wanted to fly. It was all she'd ever dreamed of doing even as a small child back home on Mirial. Unlike every other child, including the ones in her own family, her dreams and wishes had never changed.
"I do not want to be stuck on a command ship, and to be frank, I'd like to avoid being 'just another TIE pilot' as so many of my classmates are bound to become. I want something more. But, that depends on my acceptance and then my official assignment, of course."
"There are plenty of options if you don't want to fly TIE. Of course that depends on your assignment. Before this conversation goes any further however,"" Riggs said standing, "I am going to do two things."
Booted feet could be heard making contact with the duracrete floor as each step carried him toward a device on the far wall. The right index finger entered a passcode which turned off the recording. Reaching into his left front pocket, Riggs pulled out his comm device and sent a text message to Eliza Steele. She would want to be part of this interview, before anyone else could snatch up the pilot.
"Captain Steele and I have been developing something which you may be interested in. Before I go any further on the idea, tell, what is your opinion on clawcraft?"
This would determine whether he would put a good word in for Phoenix when Eliza arrived or not. The alien might very well be just who they had been looking for.
The woman lofted a brow and watched as he walked his way to the wall, where the comm panel was situated. She mulled over what he'd said for a moment, wondering if one of the more unique squadrons would be willing to take her on. Granted, the 181st would be a dream assignment for almost any pilot...but she'd heard rumors at the Academy of other squadrons, like the fabled Shadows, and had begun to hope for something a bit more.
While the name he spoke did ring a bell in her mind, his question following forestalled further thought. "Clawcraft. Decent shields, nice, thick hull plating, which is a beast to replace, I might add, slower at sublight than a TIE, but nice acceleration and atmospheric speeds. Their maneuverability though..." ebon eyes widened and she smiled with pleasure. "...I've never flown anything that could dance through space like that."
"They might have heavy plating, but they sure do move better than anything out there. I've been training in one for a while now, and I can say they are by the best thing out there for escapablitity. You will make the Rebels miss more than they already do."
Riggs chuckled, but it was true. He simply was having fun making his point.
"There is a potential that you could actually fly one, and I'm not just dangling a carrot out there. Obviously it isn't my call to make, but I can put in a good word. I just need to know your family is going to be okay with you being gone for long periods of time, and not being able to talk about what you are doing."
Her smile was genuine and warm as he spoke, finding a common pleasure in flying and also in making the Rebels miserable. Phoenix paused for a moment, her features smoothing out as she gave his question the gravity and thought it deserved.
It was a very brief moment, however.
"I would appreciate that opportunity. As for family..." she exhaled noisily and shook her head, a frown tainting her features for a second or two. "...there is none to be concerned about. My grandmother that raised me has died, and what other family I have left are traitors serving with the Rebels. I have no family, save for the Empire."
Eliza Steele
Eliza Steele had received Damon Riggs' message about a newly graduated academy pilot that seemingly had potential to fly with 181st; the Empire's elite group of starfighter pilots that made up Saber Squadron. From looking over the candidate's dossier that had been sent too, the pilot on paper had all the credentials needed, high sim scores and flight instructor recommendations, but there were two things that bothered her. One was that some of the woman's family were rebel scum, though Imperial Intelligence had cleared her so problems there were most likely minimal, and second, she was of an alien species. Eliza had come to respect the Chiss, and had even flown with an excellent Kiffar pilot, but a Mirialan? This would be a first, and they would truly have to prove themselves before the Coruscant-born loyalist would trust them fully.
Rapping twice with her glove-covered knuckles before opening the door to the recruitment room where Riggs was performing the intake interview, Eliza walked in with her usual air of staunch professionalism dressed in a crisp TIE pilot's dress uniform with the tell-tale red stripe of the 181st proudly displayed on the tall and slender blonde's nicely fitted trousers that were tucked into shiny leather boots. Upon her short-waisted jacket uniform were two rank cylinders, each housed in a shoulder pocket on either side, and rank bar tiles showing the navy officer as a captain. Her shoulder-length golden tresses were pulled back into a neat Coruscanti twist at the back and cap was perfectly balanced with it's code disk centered. A touch of makeup made her naturally pleasant facial features stand out even more especially Eliza's steely blue eyes.
"As you were," Steele said after returning salutes.
"Recruit Edorath, I am Captain Steele and will be finalizing your recruitment here today," she nodded curtly to the green-skinned female, then took the datapad offered from her dark-haired partner; no hint of any affection towards him noted in her body language or tone of voice, and there would be none in public.
"Thank you, Cadet Riggs.
After perusing over the interview notes keenly, Eliza addressed the alien woman. "Placement with the 181st has been granted. Of course, this will be probationary. You will still have to prove yourself among the elite pilots both in the sims and in real-time training exercises. Do not disappoint me, cadet. Study up on the TIE Defender as that is what Saber Squadron is flying currently. Questions?"
Duty, Honor, & Glory for the Sovereign Galactic Empire
Riggs snapped to attention when Eliza entered the room. His eyes trained to the disc on her hat because it was the only place he could look to avoid her eyes and still make it look as though he was looking at her directly. Riggs knew that if he looked her in the eyes he would not be able to maintain the strict "no public signs of affection" toward the steely, blue eyed, captain.
The datapad was offered and he nodded as she took it.
"Ma'am," he said as he stepped aside to allow her to finish the recruitment. Eliza did not take long to accept the new cadet.
Standing and saluting was a smooth, graceful movement as her six-foot-one-inch frame rose from her seat. She had been raised in a proper Imperial home in spite of the genetics that marked her as a mere near-human, and could appreciate the perfection with which the Captain both dressed and carried herself. Ebon eyes flicked between the Cadet and the Captain for a moment, noting the severe formality of their brief interaction.
"No, ma'am. No questions." Phoenix replied briefly, leaving out the assurances that she would not disappoint her new commander or the rest of the squadron. It didn't need saying, frankly, it needed proving. Which she intended to do, until they could see past her genetics.
"Excellent… Well then, Cadet Edorath I expect to see you at the training grounds ready to go at 0800 tomorrow sharp. Welcome to the 181st," Steele said, offering the green-skinned woman her hand in a professional shake.
Turning to Damon, Eliza then gave him a curt nod. "Cadet Riggs, I'll let you handle the paperwork and see to it the new squadron member is adequately situated and brought up to speed." With that said, the blonde navy captain exited the room.

Pair laughed as they killed duck
TWO men admitted killing a duck by throttling it in Stratford town centre, a court heard....
TWO men admitted killing a duck by throttling it in Stratford town centre, a court heard.
Samuel John Clifton, aged 21, and Benjamin Tulloch, aged 24, both of Broadway, Worcestershire, both pleaded guilty before Leamington magistrates on Monday to the little-used charge of intentionally killing a bird contrary to the Wildlife and Country Act.
A second charge of being drunk and disorderly was withdrawn.
The court heard that the pair were part of a group of four who had been drinking in Stratford on June 12.
At about 12.45am, two of the group left but Clifton and Tulloch spotted a mallard and its mate and they decided to pursue the birds.
Malcolm Stoddart, prosecuting, said: "The ducks were walking away, trying to escape from the two defendants, who were seen walking quickly with their arms outstretched.
Clifton caught hold of one of the ducks and both men were laughing as they took it into a doorway, where they throttled it to death."
Police were alerted by passing taxi drivers.
Tulloch initially denied killing the duck but admitted he was drunk and had behaved in a disorderly fashion.
The court heard that when Clifton was told during his police interview that the dead duck's mate had returned to the scene in a distressed state, he began to cry, saying he loved animals.
Magistrate Jane Woods-Scawen ordered the pair to each pay a #500 fine and #55 costs.
She said: "The court views this as a very serious offence of cruelty to a wild bird."

Q: Proof multivariate normal distribution Definition: A random vector $X$ has a (multivariate) normal distribution if for every real vector $a$, the random variable $a^TX$ is normal.
Theorem: If $X$ has p-variant normal distribution then $\mu=E(X)$ and $\Sigma=Cov(X)$ exist and the distribution is determined by these.
Someone has the proof of this theorem?

USDA data comparing the volume of total chicken and selected categories in November 2017 and November 2018 show the selective accumulation of drumsticks and wings. Total chicken in storage increased by 4.3 percent over the 12-month period. Leg quarters decreased by 38.6 percent consistent with ongoing exports. Wings increased by 31.6 percent suggesting "consumer fatigue" with the realization recognition that price per unit of edible chicken is higher for wings than for breast strips.
A comparison of USDA national retail prices indicates the downward trend in unit value comparing the last weeks` of 2017 and 2018. Bagged fryers decreased by 22.8 percent, breast tenders by 13.7 percent and wings by 7.8 percent. Only leg quarters on trays showed an increase in price attaining 7.8 percent during 2018.

I am new to python and I am currently doing this bank account project in pycharm. However, the datetime.now() doesn't seem to print out different microseconds and hence the values in history is constantly being overwritten whenever i call the withdraw method. However, when i run this code in IDLE, it works fine by printing out different microsecond for every withdraw method called. Does anyone know how to fix it? The outcome of the code above in pycharm is as in the image in the link provided. Thank you.

DC says no guns allowed during MAGA election protest
By David Matthews
Published January 3
Updated January 4
Here is how DC is planning to manage pro-Trump protests this week
Protests by pro-Trump groups, including the Proud Boys, are scheduled for the Nation's Capital this week, prompting an all-hands-on-deck response from the District government.
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - D.C. police are posting notices prohibiting guns downtown ahead of the pro-Trump rally set for Wednesday.
That protest coincides with the day Congress is meeting to certify the presidential election results.
RELATED: Here is how DC is planning to manage pro-Trump protests this week
FOX 5 photojournalist Jesse Burkett-Hall snapped a photo of one of the notices near Freedom Plaza:
Pres. Trump promised a "wild" protest on Wednesday, Jan. 6, as lawmakers are set to confirm his loss in the 2020 election.
It's the latest in a series of conservative protests to the November election results set in the nation's capital.
Pres. Trump's calls to protest the election have also reached the U.S. Senate, where a group of Republican senators including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) now say they will object to certifying the election results unless there is an emergency audit.

Courts of law across the country have rejected dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign seeking to challenge election results in various battleground states.
Pres. Trump's efforts to overturn the election results extend beyond litigation, though.
The Washington Post broke a bombshell report on Saturday with audio recordings of the president attempting to coerce Georgia officials to "find" votes in his favor and swing results in the state.
