YOYO MICHEAL - OSIWI
And now for something completely different.....
Actually, this new single from Nigerian Gospel artist Yoyo Micheal isn't all that different at all. That's one of the great things about Christmas music--it's pretty much universal. For the most part, "Osiwi", which means "Saviour", could just as easily have come from a contemporary performer of spiritual Soul in America. What I really dig about the tune, which begins with a bit of "Joyful Joyful" before taking off, is that you can hear the joy in the performance. It's not just a song Yoyo sings (she wrote it, too, by the way), it's clearly something she feels. And, if the singer legitimately feels the joy they're singing about, the listener can't help but feel it too (go on, Scrooge, give it a spin). Yoyo Micheal has only been recording since 2012 (though she's been singing since she was 8, when she was recruited by an adult choir). Her music has already received numerous awards and accolades in Nigeria (including "Best Gospel" for her 2014 single "Amen"). A part of the DBliss Media stable of artists, she is currently gearing up for her full-length debut. "Osiwi" is available as a free download through Soundcloud, courtesy of DBliss. You can follow Yoyo's career on Facebook.

Debby Ryan Looks Up To Chloe Bridges!
Debby Ryan has dedicated a whole Instagram post to talking about her friendship with Chloe Bridges who is also starring on Insatiable now.
Momina Wijdan
The popular actresses Debby Ryan and Chloe Bridges have been good friends for too long. But did you ever really know how special their bond was? Probably not.
Debby has uploaded an Instagram post dedicated to Chloe talking about their adorable friendship. Bridges is apparently someone she looks up to and we can understand why!
Debby Ryan Dedicates Instagram Post to Friendship With Chloe Bridges
Debby Ryan uploaded a picture with her now Insatiable costar Chloe Bridges. She added in the caption that they have been friends ever since she was 14. Their first acting role together was as Bridges' bitchy sidekick 'Popular Girl' in Fred Durst directed movie starring Keke Palmer and Ice Cube.
During the past ten years as friends, they have worked together on multiple projects inside and outside the US. And well, in different iterations. Debby Ryan and Chloe Bridges have worked together as teens on Disney. And also, as problematic former teen stars on Bridges' series.
Now Chloe has also joined Ryan's Netflix series Insatiable as miss bareback bitch Roxy. But Debby added that in real life, her friend is smart and pretty cool. Not only Chloe Bridges chose to go to Columbia university for fun but managed to maintain a successful acting career. Moreover, she's also in a loving relationship with fellow actor Adam DeVine, that recently starred in Isn't it Romantic? with Priyanka Chopra and Rebel Wilson.
Hence, Debby Ryan calls her friend Chloe Bridges someone she looks up to! Spending the holidays together and inspiring each other is pretty great to see in a Hollywood friendship.
Debby Ryan concluded her post saying that her friendship with Chloe Bridges was valuable! And then she gave out a little hint to all Insatiable fans adding that season 2 was going to be wild.

Packed with primary fruit aromas of blackberries, violets and blueberries, this wine has an intriguing edge of cracked pepper and anise adding warmth and depth.
Juicy red plum and blackberry is supported by savoury oak characters and warm spice. The fruit-rich palate is supported by luscious, fine grained tannin which adds complexity and depth.
Optimum drinking within seven years from release.
This wine is partially comprised of fruit from one of the oldest blocks of Shiraz on the estate. Block 7 is primarily dry-grown, planted in 1987 and sits on deep, sandy gravels.
2016 represented yet another stellar year for Shiraz in the Yallingup Hills. A steady and warm growing season was punctuated by late rainfall that reinvigorated the vines.
A true favourite of the Deep Woods' winemaking team. Each batch of fruit was handled individually from picking through to the final blend being chosen.
Techniques of whole bunch fermentation and cold soaking were used to varying degrees depending on the batch and a combination of open and static fermenters were used. Maturation was in tight-grained François Frères Burgundian oak for an average of 14 months at which time only the very best barrels were chosen for the finished wine.

Like most Greeks, Yorgos was raised in two visual traditions: a Western one, where novelty was at a premium; and an Orthodox tradition, which valued conformity above everything. It's an artistic challenge to reconcile these two and the New Icon Series are Yorgos's answer to that. After a retreat on Mount Athos some years ago he realised that glass was the ideal medium for the purpose. Icons aren't just images of holiness. They are holy, sometimes even acheiropoieton – made by saints, untouched by human hand. Icons have always been seen as windows between the human and divine worlds: glass is both transparent and capable of bearing an image, a revelation and a mystery. Abstraction – seeing reality in a non-realist way – is part of the iconic tradition. This is why icon-makers have never gone in for perspective, or for naturalistic portraiture.

Previous / Button: "Nobody can be happy with finishing at the back" Next / Renault F1 chief accuses Newey of "lies"
Formula 1 / Malaysian GP Breaking news
Alonso feeling "ready" but expects tough weekend
Pablo Elizalde
Fernando Alonso says he is expecting a difficult weekend on his return to the cockpit in this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Spanish driver missed the first race of the season in Australia as he recovered from his accident during testing at Barcelona, and looks set to race at Sepang once he passes the mandatory FIA fitness tests on Thursday.
McLaren had a tough time in Melbourne, with Jenson Button finishing as the last classified driver in 11th place, two laps down.
The team had to de-tune the Honda power unit in order to make it to the end of the race, and the Sepang weekend is likely to be harder due to the high temperatures.
"The weekend will be tough, but I'm looking forward to getting into the MP4-30 for the first time in a grand prix and getting back to racing," said Alonso in a team preview.
"I've spent some time in the simulator back at the factory with the team, and my focus will be on continuing the development of our package with my engineers, and working on our balance and race set-up.
"There's a lot of potential in the car and we will keep pushing every race until we see results."
Melbourne "encouraging"
Despite the result in Melbourne, Alonso said it was encouraging to see Button reach the end of the race.
"I watched the weekend in Australia very closely and I was in touch with the team from the moment they arrived," he added.
"It's clear we have a lot of work ahead of us but Jenson's result in Melbourne was encouraging from the point of view of reliability and data collection, which are extremely important."
The two-time champion says he feels ready to return to racing after over a month out of the car.
"I've been working hard on my fitness and I feel good and ready to go this weekend," Alonso said.
"The heat in Malaysia is always very tough for the drivers but I've been focusing on this in my training and I'm definitely prepared for all of the weather conditions that we can face in Sepang."

I've been blogging about global warming on Facebook for the last few weeks. Here's the links I gave. Great stuff!
Think 385 ppm is manageable? Milder winters increase bark beetle populations…which devastate N. American trees.
Insect outbreaks such as this represent an important mechanism by which climate change may undermine the ability of northern forests to take up and store atmospheric carbon, and such impacts should be accounted for in large-scale modelling analyses.
New McKinsey report says that reaching 450 PPM by 2030 would cause less than a 1% decline in global GDP if done correctly.
Note that James Hansen thinks that 450 ppm is not good enough to solve the problem. Joseph Romm disputes this, arguing that we need to create momentum to C02 reduction and only then can we aim to 350 ppm. (See his 7 part series about the political feasibility of 450 ppm).
Note that according to the most recent Climate Change Report: C02 jumped 2.1 PPM in 2008 to 386ppm; more ominously, 2nd consecutive year of sharply rising methane levels give credence to the theory that the melting of ocean permafrost has started.
How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic: This is like a Snopes page for stupid things people say about global warming.
Your primary consumption decision is not your cars, it's the location of your house in relation to the geographic center of the metropolitan workforce, (unless you happen to telecommute). Your secondary consumption decision is the displacement of your petro-vehicle, unless you have regenerative braking, a turbu supercharger, an all-electric first 50 miles, (or you happen to telecommute, or you use the car to get to the transit bus). And yes, a gasoline tax does nothing, except impoverish poor people.
A carbon purchase tax should be levied on the home purchase, and a carbon location tax should be levied supplemental to the property tax on your home. Then a secondary carbon consumption tax should be levied on your vehicle engine displacement, flat out, no hedges. Then all these taxes must be rebated, by law. A State rebate must be offered in the form of a sales tax offset or credit from that secondary carbon tax for vehicles that are regenerative or all electric or turbocharged or fuel saving.
The problem is that it is costly to administer the process of rebating taxes back to the poor. Government salaries can eat up 25% of the taxes collected that need to be rebated. With respect to transportation fuels, since 2002 most European nations have started to shift their conservation/environmental tax focus away from energy production and consumption to vehicle registration and use. CO2 taxes–largely on transport fuels–accounted for 7% of government revenues in Norway in 1991. They account for less than 2% today (after per capita transport fuel use and emissions increased over 38% between 1991 and 2005 in spite of the high CO2 tax). Special annual vehicle registration taxes now generate about 5 times more Norwegian revenues than the CO2 tax does.
I should also note that the EU experience disproves the popular theory that retail fuel price increases drive investment into cleaner tech options. The car registration tax system appears to be having a much more direct impact on captial investment decisions than much higher annualized equivalent in fuel taxes ever had (but, again, it might be too early to say the fat lady has sung on this one). (Permalink).
See also the comments to Thomas Friedman's article advocating the carbon tax. See also Adam Stein's political analysis.
rebating revenue and giving away permits produce the same overall hit to the economy, but rebating overwhelmingly favors low-income taxpayers while giving away permits overwhelmingly favors the rich.
Winner of a climate change in technology contest: a stove in a box ! (2nd prize was a food that reduced cow farts). Laugh all you want, but the article cited ruminant emissions as responsible for 20% of global warming.
Umbra Fisk of Gristmill some entertaining vids about steps you as an individual can do to reduce climate change . See vids about coffee, makeup, saving money on heating bill.
Jon Green's cover story about the psychology of green decision making. Lots to digest. INSIGHTS: give nudges (instant feedback about energy use), focus on real current effects (rather than unseen long term effects), use decision making within organizations that invite collaboration.
Important 60 Minutes story about Coal. Duke Energy CEO talks about the wonders of carbon capture systems (CCS), but admits his company hasn't actually invested any $ in CCS technology (!!!). I guess he thinks the public should invest in these technologies. 60 Minutes presents the choices as between dirty vs. clean coal. In fact, many alternatives are more affordable .
This consumer site lists the cheapest energy providers in Houston (dated April 16). Fun fact: Gexa's green 100% coal-free 12 month plan ("Gexa Green 12") is cheaper than 12 month plans from coal energy companies like TXU or Reliant. Tip from RJ: Never get Variable rate energy plans. Their initial price may look tempting, but they almost never are a good deal in the long run.
A carbon cap that makes one more stinking millionaire on the backs of the public is going to infuriate the public. Me too. There is no need to support lobbyists, traders, and special interests. The tax should be proportional to the carbon amount and the dividend calculation will only require long division, which even a civil servant can do. 100% of the tax should go into the dividends. However, if some countries do not apply an equivalent tax, a duty should be collected on fossil-fuel dependent products imported from that country. Such import duties might be used, in part,to finance reforestation, climate adaptation, or other climate or energy related needs.


Dealing with a telephone enquiry can be a nerve-wracking experience. When my phone rang for the first time, I was so nervous but it was a wrong number! I think I felt a bit relieved that it was at the time.
I don't know about you, but I often find dealing with enquiries online a lot easier. There is a fear of getting flustered and saying the wrong thing on the telephone. It is easier to write down what you say but often speaking to someone will be quicker.
Be welcoming when you answer the phone and smile. A smile comes across when you are talking on the phone. It will put you both at ease.
Have a notebook and pen handy as you never know when the phone is going to ring. If you feel nervous, then have a practice.
There are many online tools that enable customers to book a time-slot. This gives you time to prepare for the call.
Get to know more about them. Have a set of questions handy that you can ask and have a conversation. It may be that the customer knows that they need help but are not sure what they need help with.
Put yourself into the shoes of the caller. They have called you because they need your help, so make them feel valued.
I'm sure we have all experienced people who want something for nothing. I had a call once where the individual knew my prices as they were on my website but said I was too expensive. It can be daunting when that happens but be firm and don't undervalue yourself.
Once you have both covered everything in the call, follow up with an email and a summary of what was discussed.
If you have agreed to send a proposal, then do so as quickly as you can and let them know you will contact them. Set a date in your diary as a reminder and then contact them.
Customer service is important and is something we all experience every day. How do you find dealing with enquiries?

Q: How to print the first three digits after the decimal point of a floating number? I am new to BASH and learnt that both printf and echo write to the standard output. But, I came through the following example which reads an expression from input and computes the result to accuracy of 3 decimal places:
read exp
printf "%.3f\n" "$(echo $exp | bc -l)"

I don't get why echo is passed here as an argument in the the printf statement. Is there any other
way to represent the statement using only echo?

A: After read exp, you can use echo as follow:
$ echo "scale=3; $exp/1" | bc
9.456

But note that this command does not require echo:
$ bc <<< "scale=3; $exp/1"
9.456

EDIT: in order to get a rounded result you have to use the printf bash builtin as bc can't round values.
The following command works as expected:
 echo "scale=4; $exp" | bc | xargs printf "%.3f\n"

A: Here is a solution using only echo:

*

*if you are using a decimal point (.) in your rational number:
$ read exp
123.4567
$ int=${exp%%.*}
$ rat=${exp##*.}
$ echo $int.${rat:0:3}
123.456

*if you are using a decimal comma (,) in your rational number (as I use and most part of continental Europe):
$ read exp
123,4567
$ int=${exp%%,*}
$ rat=${exp##*,}
$ echo $int,${rat:0:3}
123,456

VCAT, PLANNING MINISTER HOLDING COUNCIL TO RANSOM
Glen Eira Councillors were powerless to adequately represent the community's concerns when considering a proposal for a 12-storey high rise in Horne Street, Elsternwick on Tuesday. MP Clifford Hayes said the decision by councillors to approve the tower as an eight-storey development was forgivable, given that their hands were tied by an impending Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal loss. The issue stems back to the failure and refusal by the Planning Minister to provide Glen Eira Council with the mandatory height limits it requested. Instead, they were given measly "discretionary" height limits, which are often overruled in VCAT.  "I welcome what the councillors decided to do, because they didn't have much of a choice," he said.  "This application has underscored the council's lack of capacity to serve the community.  "It stems back to the council applying for mandatory height limits, and the Planning Minister refusing to do so – instead providing measly discretionary limits." Mr Hayes was very surprised by the council planning department's decision to recommend the 12-storey design for approval.  "This green light flies in the face of great community concern that such a development would overwhelm the heritage and character of the Elsternwick Village. A "Village" should not be a place for a high rise."  "It also contradicts Council's previous position concerning this area, which was in favour of a mandatory 8-storey height limit.  "The Elsternwick community, particularly those living on Ross Street, do not want this massive monstrosity ruining their amenity and compromising their way of life." The Sustainable Australia MP will continue to pressure the Planning Minister and the Parliament to have appropriate height controls implemented to protect the community.  "We need to return planning powers back to the community and the council."  "The discretionary height limits in place at the moment are an incitement to developers to push through these inappropriate developments.

The most important event in the Chinese calendar, celebrants traditionally begin by paying respects to their ancestors, by burning joss paper and incense at the temple to pray for good health, prosperity and peace.
Chinese families also hold a reunion dinner on the eve of the new year, and conduct a thorough spring cleaning to sweep away any ill fortune and make way for incoming good luck.

The annual lion dance at the temple is popular with Bruneians from all walks of life, while the Chinese believe the dance brings prosperity and good fortune, while the the lion symbolises power and wisdom.
The dance is accompanied by the music of beating drums, clashing cymbals and gongs, while the "lion" imitates various movements from Chinese martial arts.

The event attracts hundreds of people every year, including photography enthusiasts, tourists and prominent members of the Chinese community.
Most Chinese businesses will close for several days so staff can participate in the festivities, which includes visiting friends' and relatives' houses, giving "ang pow" and lighting paper lanterns.

Festivities for the Lunar New Year traditionally last for 15 days, until the first full moon after the Spring Festival. Lanterns are usually lit and released into the sky to symbolise the end of the festive period.

Anne Hathaway will reprise her role as Mia Thermopolis in "The Princess Diaries 3," the actress revealed on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen on Thursday.
A fan called into the show, which is currently taping in Los Angeles, and had a question for Hathaway.
"Have you heard of anything about 'Princess Diaries 3,' since the author of the book said there's a script for the third movie?" the caller asked.
"There is a script for the third movie," Hathaway said. The actress heard a gasp from the audience. "That was so cute," she said of the crowd's positive reaction.
"Our audience is very reactive," host Andy Cohen joked. "There's only 20 people, but they're very into it."
"I want to do it, Julie [Andrews] wants to do it, Deborah Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen. It's just we don't want to do it unless it's perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it," Hathaway said. "It's just as important to us as it is to you. And we don't want to deliver anything until it's ready, but we're working on it."
Fellow guest Matthew McConaughey was surprised that Hathaway revealed "insider information."
Hathaway first took on the role as Princess Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi in 2001, opposite Julie Andrews as her grandmother, the queen. The sequel, released in 2004, followed both Princess Mia and the queen's journey to finding love in Genovia, the fictional country they reign over.
"The Princess Diaries 2" ended with Mia becoming queen a Julie Andrews' character getting married, leaving many questions about their futures unanswered. Although Hathaway confirmed a script for the third movie exists, no details are known about the plot.
The previous films were directed by Garry Marshall, who died in 2016. Marshall was a Hollywood legend known for producing and directing romantic comedies like "Pretty Woman" and popular sitcoms like "Happy Days." It is unclear who will direct "Princess Diaries 3," if and when the filming comes to fruition.


On August 30, 2017, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) published a staff inspection brief providing information about its ongoing 2017 inspections of auditors of public companies and other issuers.
In 2017, the PCAOB plans to inspect approximately 195 registered firms that audit public companies, of which 11 are subject to annual inspection. Among the 195 firms inspected in 2017, approximately 55 are non-U.S. firms in 26 countries or jurisdictions.

Homes for the holidays: Tour shows off Cleveland houses
Jackie Bridges
The first time Wayne and Barbara Deal looked at the Hamptons design home at 120 Westfield Road, Shelby, the old girl had lost her charm.
The Deals, married 39 years and both retired from Cleveland Regional Medical Center, took on the project of restoring the beauty in the rough.
�She was tired and debilitated and had not had anything done in years,� Barbara Deal said. �We embraced the character and didn�t try to change it. She is the house where you can live for a long time and be comfortable.�
At the end of an 11-month renovation, the Deals have a warm, inviting home that will be featured during the Fourth Annual Arts Council Holiday Home Tour.
�It�s a new home in an old shell,� Barbara Deal said.
Two new additions were added to the original structure to make the home more fluid and flexible, she said. Because the home�s layout features long and short hallways, staircases and sitting rooms, the Deals refer to the new spaces as the West End and the East End.
�If we get lost from each other, I�ll say, �Where are you � East or West End?�� Barbara Deal said.
Here are some things to look for as you tour the home:
* Chimney Pots: As you enter the house, notice the Chimney Pots placed on each chimney. Chimney Pots are popular in Europe. These non-functioning pots aren�t original to the home, but they came from England and are 125 years old. The Deals picked them up in Charleston, S.C.
* The Deals� Christmas decorations follow a coastal theme, featuring starfish, snow and crystal accents. White is the color of choice. �A lot of people don�t think white is a color, but it�s a great look and it�s clean,� Barbara Deal said.
* The hardwood floors and doors are original to the home.
* The use of European-inspired design throughout: The toilet is in a separate room from the shower, bathtub and sink; the small tub in the master bath is about the size of the tubs in Europe; and the raised ceiling and arches in the kitchen and dining room. �We�ve traveled in Europe and other countries, and it�s fun to bring some of the design elements home,� Deal said. �People are kind, and gentle and it brings you back down to earth.�
* Nora Mauney�s art: Mauney, an art teacher, was the former owner of the home. �We�ve had several people tell us she taught their children to paint rocks,� Deal said. A piece of her artwork is placed on a table in the sitting room in the East End, and river rocks are used as borders along the couple�s front yard.
* A 350-year-old African Celebration Vest hangs over the mantel in the dining area. Look closely to see the tiny seashells hand sewn on the garment.
* Less is more � The home features simple decorations repeated throughout. �I�m all about less is more, and I�m about the ease of less,� Barbara Deal said. �It�s a comfortable house. It�s not pretentious or fancy, but it�s got soul.�
Other homes on the tour:
DaNita and Mitch Chaplin: 3101 Harmon Homestead Road, Shelby
The Chaplins describe their home on Moss Lake as their French country, cottage, cabin and farmhouse as it carries touches of each with its architecture and d�cor. Christmas becomes the highlight of the year for them when their collection of carolers from more than 28 years comes out of storage and goes on display in numerous scenes throughout the house.
Elaine and Ronnie Dobbins: 103 Ridge Court, Cherryville
Just minutes from uptown Shelby, the Dobbins� house sits on a hill in a wooded track that brings all kinds of wildlife into the backyard, including herds of grazing deer. The floor plan is open, comfortable and very livable. The couple enjoys spending time on the screened porch and cooking out on the large, winding, cobble stone patio.
Sharon and Bobby Horne: 701 Oakland St., Kings Mountain
The Hornes completed and moved into their home in 2012. It is important for them to have a home that is both welcoming and comfortable for children, grandchildren and guests, so Bobby kept this in mind while designing and building it. The home is always open for celebrating birthdays, holidays and Sunday night dinner with family. Lounging on the back porch, where conversation may be momentarily interrupted by a passing train and relaxing in front of the fireplace are the favorite gathering places. Each Christmas, Bobby sets up his Christmas village (which has its own room).
Pat and Jim Parr: 1322 Vista Drive, Shelby
Five years ago, the Parrs traveled from New York to Shelby and fell in love with the community and Moss Lake. Buffalo Creek was dammed in 1963, and Moss Lake was fully formed in 1973. The Parr home was built in 1974 and is located where Buffalo Creek empties into the lake. The home has seen many renovations and continues to be a warm and inviting place that views the lake from every room and offers an exotic taste of fishing, hunting and safari adventures.
Jackie and Tyler Falls: 409 W. Mountain St., Kings Mountain
The Falls� home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 and is part of the Kings Mountain West End Historic District. This home, formerly known as the Bright Dixon Ratteree House, built in 1921, is a one-and-half story bungalow style with an L-shape porch and screened on the east gable end. It has been completely restored retaining the original hutch in the dining room and all windows, doors and floors. During the restoration work, a new deck, pool, and pool house with exercise room were built. The home has been simplistically dressed for Christmas in freshly cut local greenery, handmade wreaths and garlands.
WANT TO GO? The Cleveland County Arts Council�s Fourth Annual Holiday Home Tour is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 7. Tickets are $15 at the Arts Center, 111 S. Washington St., Shelby, by phone in advance or at the homes on the day of the tour. A hand-decorated artisan wreath will be raffled off to a lucky tour attendee.
Also, stop by the Arts Center to check out �Handmade for the Holidays� Gift Gallery.

Opening of the meeting
After giving a general overview of the items on the agenda, President Claude Pantaleoni explained why since 24 February Europe has entered a new area of conflict. The period of peace that had preserved our continent since 1945 was over. Therefore, in recent weeks, all the activities of the association have been focused on organising humanitarian aid sent to Ukraine and receiving Ukrainian refugee families in our Greater Region. He spoke about the many difficulties in finding people willing to take in mothers with their children, especially when these people have space. He then went on to give an overview of the activities carried out during the year 2021.

In recent days, the war situation in Ukraine has deteriorated dramatically. Millions of Ukrainians are on the run and many more are preparing to flee Russian bombing raids on populated centres and civilians.
You can help in the following two ways:
Many refugees come to us with their whole family, sometimes with a cat or dog.
We are looking for families or individuals who are willing to host in their homes or in one of their spare houses/apartments, families consisting of:
– a mother with two or three children,
– a couple with their two or three children, or
– a family with an elderly person.
Please write to us at [email protected] if you are willing and able to host such a family.
We are also currently organising help in Ukraine with a Greek Catholic priest and his parish. He himself receives a list of medicines from doctors working in the hospitals, which are essential for treating the sick and injured.
We send him the necessary money via WesternUnion so that he can buy these medicines in pharmacies. Part of the money will be used to buy food for internal refugees.

1. Under the Fourth Amendment, an officer may not properly issue a warrant to search a private dwelling unless he can find probable cause therefor from facts or circumstances presented to him under oath or affirmation. Mere affirmance of belief or suspicion is not enough. P. 290 U. S. 46.
2. This principle applies to searches for goods imported in fraud of the tariff law as well as to other cases. P. 290 U. S. 47.
Certiorari, 289 U.S. 720, to review the affirmance of a sentence in a prosecution under the National Prohibition Act for unlawful possession of intoxicating liquors. The trial court had refused to exclude evidence for the Government obtained by searching a private dwelling under color of a search warrant.
In the trial court where he was defendant under a criminal information, petitioner Nathanson duly, but unsuccessfully, challenged the admission as evidence of certain liquors seized under color of a search warrant issued, he claimed, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment against him.
"Whereas said Francis B. Laughlin has stated under his oath that he has cause to suspect and does believe that certain merchandise, to-wit: certain liquors of foreign origin a more particular description of which cannot be given, upon which the duties have not been paid, or which has otherwise been brought into the United States contrary to law, and that said merchandise is now deposited and contained within the premises of J. J. Nathanson said premises being described as a 2-story frame dwelling located at 117 No. Bartram Ave. . . . ; and"
"Whereas said Francis B. Laughlin has requested that a warrant issue to him authorizing him to enter said premises and search for and seize said merchandise: "
"Now therefore you are commanded, in the name and by the authority of the President of the United States, to enter and search the premises hereinbefore described, in the daytime (if a dwelling house) at any time of the day or night (if other than a dwelling house) and to seize and take into your possession the merchandise hereinbefore described, or so much thereof as may be found, to the end that the same may be dealt with according to law."
"The appellant contends that the affidavit upon which the search warrant was issued showed no facts upon which to base a finding of probable cause; that the search warrant was therefore illegal, and that the use of the property so seized as evidence in a criminal prosecution amounted to a violation of the protection afforded by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. . . ."
"Had this warrant issued under authority of the Prohibition Act, it would be invalid, since the affidavit was merely based upon cause to suspect and suspicion. It issued, however, under the authority of [§ 595] the Tariff Act of 1930 . . . [46 Stat. 752, c. 497, 19 U.S.C. § 1595. This is identical with § 595, Tariff Act of 1922, 42 Stat. 983, c. 356, copied in the margin. *]"
interest in the smuggled goods. Following the reasoning in the cases cited, we conclude that that interest was sufficient to justify the issuance of the search warrant, and that the search and seizure, based on the sworn complaint (phrased almost in the very words of the Tariff Act) and the warrant thereon, did not violate the constitutional rights of the defendant. This court, in Bookbinder v. United States, 287 F. 790, cert. denied, 262 U.S. 748, held that evidence obtained on a search warrant for violation of the customs laws is admissible in a prosecution for violation of the prohibition laws."
We think the court below acted upon an erroneous view. Its judgment must be reversed.
This Court has often spoken concerning searches and seizures and the limitations of the Fourth Amendment. Locke v. United States, 7 Cranch 339; Boyd v. United States, 116 U. S. 616; Adams v. New York, 192 U. S. 585; Weeks v. United States, 232 U. S. 383; Gouled v. United States, 255 U. S. 298; Byars v. United States, 273 U. S. 28; Maul v. United States, 274 U. S. 501; Go-Bart Importing Co. v. United States, 282 U. S. 344; United States v. Lefkowitz, 285 U. S. 452. See also Cooley, Constitutional Limitations, 7th ed., p. 427.
Here, we are dealing with a warrant to search a private dwelling said to have been authorized by the Tariff Act. It went upon a mere affirmation of suspicion and belief without any statement of adequate supporting facts.
All unreasonable searches and seizures are absolutely forbidden by the Fourth Amendment. In some circumstances, a public officer may make a lawful seizure without a warrant; in others, he may act only under permission of one. In the present case, the place of search and seizure was a private dwelling. The challenged warrant is said to constitute adequate authority therefor. The legality of the seizure depends upon its sufficiency. Did it issue upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation within the intendment of the amendment?
The amendment applies to warrants under any statute -- revenue, tariff, and all others. No warrant inhibited by it can be made effective by an act of Congress or otherwise.
It is argued that searches for goods smuggled into the United States in fraud of the revenue, based upon affidavits of suspicion or belief, have been sustained from the earliest times; that this practice was authorized by the Revenue Act of July 31, 1789, 1 Stat. 43, also subsequent like enactments. But we think nothing in these statutes indicates that a warrant to search a private dwelling may rest upon mere affirmance of suspicion or belief without disclosure of supporting facts or circumstances.
Although relied upon, we find nothing in Locke v. United States and Boyd v. United States which upholds the view of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The first of these causes was a proceeding to forfeit a cargo of imported goods seized for violation of the revenue laws. It presented no question concerning the validity of a warrant. The second denied the right to compel production of private papers in a suit by the United States to establish a forfeiture of goods fraudulently imported.
Under the Fourth Amendment, an officer may not properly issue a warrant to search a private dwelling unless he can find probable cause therefor from facts or circumstances presented to him under oath or affirmation. Mere affirmance of belief or suspicion is not enough.
* Act 1922 and Act of 1930, § 595.
"Searches and Seizures. (a) Warrant. If any collector of customs or other officer or person authorized to make searches and seizures shall have cause to suspect the presence in any dwelling house, store, or other building or place of any merchandise upon which the duties have not been paid, or which has been otherwise brought into the United States contrary to law, he may make application, under oath, to any justice of the peace, to any municipal, county, State, or Federal judge, or to any United States commissioner, and shall thereupon be entitled to a warrant to enter such dwelling house in the daytime only, or such store or other place at night or by day, and to search for and seize such merchandise. . . ."

1. The Game for Regional Hegemony: China's OBOR and India's Strategic Response
Author: Anshuman Rahul
Journal: AUSTRAL: Brazilian Journal of Strategy International Relations
Institution: Postgraduate Program in International Strategic Studies, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul
Abstract: The OBOR initiative of China often termed as 'Modern-day Silk Road' is based on President Xi Jinping's epic vision to make 'China Great Again' by reviving the Silk Route of ancient times. This initiative aims to engage Eurasia economically by creating a network of infrastructure. In this regard, the article attempts to understand the geo-politics behind India's refusal to join OBOR and strategic response to counter the most appealing economic engagement of the present era but considered to be a debt-trap by India.

2. Goodbye, Nehru: Indian Foreign Policy Under Globalization
Author: Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santos
Abstract: This article analyses the trends of India's foreign policy in recent years under the light of political and economic dynamics, with a focus in its regional surrounding. The text locates an inflection towards economic liberalization undertaken in the beginning of the 1990´s, and then moves on to the context of economic expansion in the 21st century. The achievements and limits of those processes are taken into consideration. In the political realm, as the legitimacy of the Indian National Congress (INC) was brought to check, so was its hegemony, in a process that has favored the rise of political agencies identified with hindu nationalism and communalism, such as the BJP. Overall, the hallmarks of Indian politics that prevailed since independence under leadership of the Congress Party are left behind: economic nationalism, secular politics, and international non-alignment. In this context, the broad orientation of Indian foreign policy also has changed. The text analyses the consequences of this inflection in the regional context, focusing the Neighbors first policy and the priority given to infrastructural connectivity with Southeast Asia (Look East and Act East policies), as well as the recent intensification of business in the African continent. Altogether, the expectations of an alternative civilizatory horizon in the context of the Cold War which has nurtured Nehruvian politics, has given place to a pragmatic rationality that accepts the United States leadership and as such, draws strategies adapting to the mercantile trends that typify globalisation.

3. Navy Classification: Proposal for a Comparative Methodology
Author: Francisco Eduardo Alves de Almeida, Ricardo Pereira Cabral
Abstract: Classification of navies according to their relative power has been a challenge for the academic area that works with issues in the field of Security and Defense. Qualitative ratings have been presented by renowned researchers such as Colin Gray, Hervé Coutau-Begarie and Michael Morris, however these attempts have stumbled in its simplicity and little scope. From studies based on open access sources, this paper tries to develop a comparative methodology that would not only take into account qualitative but also quantitative factors. This innovative method was used to classify the navy of the different states in a ranking of power taking into account parameters such as the number of means, shipbuilding capacity, number of bases and arsenals, naval assets and availability of resources, among others, in order to rank naval powers. This methodology aims to reduce uncertainties in the classification of navies and serve as a reference for future works in the academic area that are dedicated to the fields of Security and Defense.

4. Military Expenditures and the Armed Forces Actions in South America: An Appreciation About the Regional Defense Convergence
Author: Graciela De Conti Pagliari
Abstract: It is investigated the approximation in defense and security in South America. The hypothesis tested considers that these countries just tend an approximation whereby the costs are less linked to a changing in their individual policies. In this way, they propose just a superficial consensus rather than incorporate joint policies. Therefore, the analysis focuses on the confidence measures in relation to the military expenditures adopted since the SADC foundation, as well as the military forces functions to verify if – in that instance – the measures served to empower the convergences in defense, and – in the case of these – if, in the face of the highlighted common defense problems, the attributions have converged.

5. Armament Modernization in South America: Empirical and Theoretical Pressures on the Dualistic Views of Regional Security
Author: Rafael Duarte Villa
Abstract: Research that focuses on security systems in South America usually identifies the existence of two regional security subsystems: one in the Andean countries of the North, with more traditional characteristics such as militarized tensions at the borders and intense drug trafficking problems; and a second one located in the Southern Cone, with security and integration regimes, which could qualify as a security community. This is what we call a dualistic view of security. This paper challenges this thesis to show that contemporary developments and concerns about the purchase of sophisticated weaponry by some South American countries, especially Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil in the first two decades of this century are critical points for the idea of a permanent (democratic) peace zone located only in the Southern Cone. In fact, arms purchases transform the South American region into a single regional security complex with tensions and militarized representations in both the Andean system and the Southern Cone.

6. Peace Missions and Civil-Military Relations: Reflections on the Brazilian Case
Author: Adriana A. Marques
Abstract: The article discusses the interconnections between the participation of the Brazilian military in peace missions and civil-military relations in the country. For its elaboration a bibliographical revision and the collection of primary sources, like governmental documents, articles published in newspapers and magazines and interviews were realized. It is concluded that, instead of contributing to the improvement of the articulation between foreign policy and defense policy, the Brazilian participation in peace operations has been instrumentalised by the political class and indirectly contributing to the militarization of public security and the policialization of the armed forces.

7. Australia, New Zealand and Regional Security in the Pacific: Reflections on Peacekeeping in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea
Author: Isiaka Alani Badmus
Abstract: This paper examined conflicts and regional security in the Pacific. The paper has as its focus the roles of Australia and New Zealand (and the Pacific Islands Forum) in managing security in the Pacific using Papua New Guinea (Bougainville) and the Solomon Islands as case studies. It documented their peacekeeping experiences, and interrogated whether these operations were successes or not and why. Furthermore, the author explored whether the peacekeeping experiences in the Pacific and lessons learnt from these operations might be applicable to, and/or be helpful in developing a useful peacekeeping model for other regions. The argument of this paper is that, although Australia and New Zealand regional security management role is based on security concerns of the region but the national interests of these dominant states are also at play and a key factor that shape the nature and direction of interventions. As well, the dynamics of these operations have revolved around interaction between and among local, regional and global political factors. The author argued that peacekeeping in the Pacific (especially in Bougainville and the Solomon Islands) may not offer an appropriate peacekeeping model in such-conflict ridden settings as Africa where armed violence are more complex, protracted and involve full-scale military actions as opposed to low-intensity and localised conflicts in the Pacific, but some of the peacekeeping lessons from the region may be helpful to other peace operations, especially Peacekeeping the 'Pacific Way'.

8. The Logistics of a Peacekeeping Mission: A Case Study of Western Sahara
Author: Sylvio de Souza Ferreira, Eduardo Xavier Ferreira Glaser Migon
Abstract: This is a case study that reflects on the complexity of logistics activity in the context of a peace operation. A preliminary synthesis is made on the Western Sahara issue, as well as a brief theoretical review of the concept of Military Logistics. The logistics of the main participants of the conflict are analyzed: the Royal Army of Morocco, the Polisario Front and MINURSO. The approaches are essentially different: national logistics, "survival" logistics and international logistics.

9. Domestic Environment Variables and Foreign Policy Articulation of the Buhari Administration in Nigeria's Fourth Republic
Author: Tola Odubajo
Abstract: There is a constant stream of discourses on Nigeria's foreign policy behaviour by scholars and policy makers alike. This owes largely to the unpredictable nature of the country's actions and inactions on the global arena. Over the decades, there have been periods of dynamic foreign policy posturing, as well as the era of moderate foreign policy behaviour, and the combative approach to foreign policy. In large part, the prevailing attitudes are induced by the conditions in the two environments of foreign policy. This paper interrogates the impact of the conditions of the domestic milieu on the foreign policy behaviour of the Buhari administration. The analysis is based on the juxtaposition of variables in both the domestic and external environments of foreign policy. On the strength of data gathered from secondary sources, it is observed that the subsisting domestic conditions have great influences on Nigeria's foreign policy behaviour under the Buhari administration. However, in the overall interest of projecting, promoting and protecting Nigeria's national interest, the Buhari administration must continually balance the scale between domestic and foreign policy pursuits.

10. Defense and Development Industry: Theoretical Controversies and Implications in Industrial Policy
Author: Christiano Cruz Ambros
Abstract: The main objective of this article is to expose the debate around the relationship between military spending and economic development, as well as between defense industry and technological development. With this in mind, we have explored literature from the classical school of economics through to Marxist, Skeletal, Schumpeterian and Neoclassical writers. We argue in this paper that the strengthening of the defense industry, through a robust and focused industrial policy, is a viable strategy for the endogenization of critical technologies central to the domain of the paradigm of development of the digitization. This strategy demands the construction of a robust industrial policy focused on the development and strengthening of the national defense industry. Therefore, it is necessary to advance the research agenda of institutional arrangements and governance focused on this sector.

Report: AAF approached XFL about a merger in December 2018
Posted by Mike Florio on April 8, 2019, 9:56 AM EDT
The Alliance of American Football's failure to finish its first season constitutes a failure. The fact that it made it through eight weeks of the schedule amounts to a rousing success, given what nearly happened.
It's been well-documented that, but for the investment of Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon, the AAF would have died after only one week. As it turns out, the league almost didn't make it to Week One.
Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Daily reports that, in December 2018, the AAF approached the XFL about a possible merger. Per the report, the AAF "was already running out of money, and "was on life support."
XFL owner Vince McMahon rejected the offer.
Kaplan also reports that the AAF's initial primary investor, Reggie Fowler, failed to come through with a $28 million payment by Christmas. It was Fowler's eventual exit that created a dire situation after the first weekend of games, resulting in a Hail Mary that somehow connected when Dundon signed on.
But with $10 million per week in losses and no reason to think that the AAF would be operating in the black anytime soon, Dundon decided to stop throwing good money after bad. With no one else ready or willing to take Dundon's place, the AAF necessarily became finito.

The AAF was running out of money before the months before the games even started.. wow!
commentawaitingdeletion says:
Give it a year and Polian will be claiming he knew this was going to happen.
mogogo1 says:
The NFL was supposed to merge with a league that had been in existence for about 5 minutes? And they were expected to make that decision INSTANTLY? They're going to be studying the AAF in business schools for years to come. They couldn't have done a worse job if they had tried.
Everybody with a brain knew any merger was probably always a longshot but if it was ever going to happen it'd be years down the road after the AAF had proven itself. Their expenses were all known upfront and they largely knew their revenue except for gate receipts. You do the math for what it'll take to operate for the season (ideally a few seasons) and you don't launch unless you have that amount secured. This shouldn't have been hard. Instead, they launched KNOWING they wouldn't make it through the first season. Dundon's money just made up for what Fowler failed to put in, so they STILL fold after 8 weeks if their original plan had held up.

I'm old, white, and male... and I'm sorry! says:
The question remains: Was Dundon deceived, foolish or both?
In some ways it looks like it was obvious the AAF was doomed to fail, so why did Dundon sink money into it? I still think we have yet to learn the real story about the AAF, and that if we ever do, we'll learn who made money and how.

amurdora says:
You forgot to mention how he rejected it only after 15 minutes of uncontrolled laughter at the incompetence on display.
ibillwt says:
Vince McMahan or Bill Polian. Who would you put your money with? I can see McMahan laughing and pumping his fist after he took that chump's call.
happy1114 says:
As the facts start to emerge it shows how Polian and Ebersol misled the employees,and players along with vendors stadiums on and on from the get go… Trying to throw Dundon under the bus is becoming even more sinister by Polian and Ebersol…..
carloswlassiter says:
So why did Dundon agree to put any money into this at all?
footballpat says:
The AAF never contemplated a MERGER with the NFL they wanted to become their developmental minor league which is different
jessethebody says:
Reggie Fowler???? The same Reggie Fowler who tried to buy the Vikings but never had the cash? The same Reggie Fowler who bragged about playing in the Little League World Series when he was young and after people looked into it they found out he made it all up. No wonder this league flopped.
kevines255 says:
Why in the world would the XFL merge with their competitor that was clearly on the verge of failing?
Read the article. That's the exact term used and it is still "merging" if they're a developmental league. That just means they'd have been under the overall financial control of the NFL.
sportoficionado says:
I hope all readers are as equally disgusted now by the leadership group of the aaf as I am(and have been since the league started/ended).
Polian had to know of Fowler's no money big mouth background and thought he was going to come through….this just keeps getting better…Where's Polian? Harder to find than Waldo……
alewatcher says:
Looks like the AAF was a house of cards from the beginning. Polian and company should be ashamed of what they did to the players.
Wasn't Fowler that guy who tried to buy the Vikings before Wilf but ended up not having enough money? If so, we should have known this would fail.
BuckyBadger says:
Stop trying to create a minor league and treating it like is a big time professional league. AAA baseball doesn't spend big to get on TV nor do they travel by flying. They bus to games playing in small parks and providing cheap entertainment for those that love baseball. Cater to that and you might have a chance. Starting a big national league of B level players is a disaster of a business plans. Why would I pay more than $15 to see anyone in the AAF or XFL? Ticket prices for the AAF where as high as $70, no one is paying that. Look at what minor league parks are charging.
thefiesty1 says:
Where's Ebersol? Is he in a witness relocation program? Not one word from him!
Ross MacLochness says:
"The Alliance of American Football's failure to finish its first season constitutes a failure."
Wow, That's deep man.
jonathankrobinson424 says:
Dundon main-goal for investing in this league was for the tax write-off….pretty obvious.

Die Verordnung über die Voraussetzungen und das Verfahren zur Akkreditierung von fachkundigen Stellen und zur Zulassung von Trägern und Maßnahmen der Arbeitsförderung nach dem Dritten Buch Sozialgesetzbuch (Akkreditierungs- und Zulassungsverordnung Arbeitsförderung – AZAV) ist eine Rechtsverordnung des Bundesministeriums für Arbeit und Soziales (BMAS) aufgrund  SGB III. Sie trat am 6. April 2012 in Kraft. Gleichzeitig trat die Anerkennungs- und Zulassungsverordnung – Weiterbildung (AZWV) vom 16. Juni 2004 außer Kraft ( Satz 2 AZAV).

Anerkennungs- und Zulassungsverordnung – Weiterbildung (AZWV) vom 16. Juni 2004
Die AZWV war eine Verordnung des damaligen Bundesministers für Wirtschaft und Arbeit im Einvernehmen mit dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung. Rechtsgrundlage war der damalige § 87 SGB III, der mit dem Zweiten Gesetz für moderne Dienstleistungen am Arbeitsmarkt (Hartz II) zum 1. Januar 2003 in das SGB III eingefügt worden war.

Die AZWV regelte seit dem 1. Juli 2004 das Verfahren der externen Zertifizierung von Bildungsträgern und Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen, außerdem die erforderliche Akkreditierung der Zertifizierungsagenturen und die Qualitätssicherung in Bezug auf die Zertifizierungsstellen, um Leistungen der beruflichen Weiterbildung zielführender auszugestalten.

Die von den Agenturen für Arbeit bzw. den Arbeitsgemeinschaften für Grundsicherung an Arbeitsuchende herausgegebenen Bildungsgutscheine konnten nur für nach AZWV zertifizierte Bildungsmaßnahmen bei entsprechend zertifizierten Bildungsträgern eingelöst werden.

Nach der AZWV konnten sich Bildungsträger mit ihren Bildungsmaßnahmen über sogenannte fachkundige Stellen (FKS) zertifizieren lassen. Das bedeutete, dass mit einer Träger- und Maßnahmezertifizierung durch eine fachkundige Stelle ein Bildungsträger (Verein, GmbH, gGmbH usw.) als zugelassener Bildungsträger in Verbindung mit §§ 7,8 AZWV und mit der jeweiligen (zertifizierten) Fortbildungsmaßnahme als zugelassene Weiterbildungsmaßnahme nach § 85 SGB III ausgestattet war. Die Zulassung erfolgte durch unabhängige fachkundige Stelle (Zertifizierungsstellen).

Auszug aus der AZWV (§ 8 Abs. 4):
 Ein System zur Sicherung der Qualität nach § 84 Nr. 4 des Dritten Buches Sozialgesetzbuch liegt vor, wenn ein den anerkannten Regeln der Technik entsprechendes systematisches Instrument zur Qualitätssicherung und Qualitätsentwicklung dokumentiert, wirksam angewendet und dessen Wirksamkeit ständig verbessert wird. Der Antrag muss insbesondere eine Dokumentation enthalten zu
 einem kundenorientierten Leitbild,
 der Berücksichtigung arbeitsmarktlicher Entwicklungen bei Konzeption und Durchführung von Bildungsmaßnahmen,
 der Art und Weise der Festlegung von Unternehmenszielen sowie Lehr- und Lernzielen, Methoden einschließlich der Methoden der Bewertung des Eingliederungserfolgs,
 den Methoden zur Förderung der individuellen Lernprozesse,
 einer regelmäßigen Evaluierung der angebotenen Maßnahmen mittels anerkannter Methoden,
 der Unternehmensorganisation und -führung,
 der Durchführung von eigenen Prüfungen zur Funktionsweise des Unternehmens,
 der Bereitschaft zur Zusammenarbeit mit externen Fachkräften zur Qualitätsentwicklung und
 den Zielvereinbarungen, der Messung des Grads der Zielerreichung und der Steuerung fortlaufender Optimierungsprozesse auf der Grundlage erhobener Kennzahlen oder Indikatoren.

Die Anerkennung der FKS erfolgte nach der AZWV und der DIN EN ISO 17021 und wurde durch die Anerkennungsstelle der Bundesagentur für Arbeit wahrgenommen. Das Verfahren nach der AZWV wurde durch Empfehlungen des bei der Anerkennungsstelle gebildeten Anerkennungsbeirats konkretisiert. Der Anerkennungsbeirat beriet und unterstützte die Anerkennungsstelle und liefert bindende Interpretationen.

Akkreditierungs- und Zulassungsverordnung Arbeitsförderung (AZAV) vom 2. April 2012
Mit dem Gesetz zur Verbesserung der Eingliederungschancen am Arbeitsmarkt vom 20. Dezember 2011 wurde ein neues Kapitel zur Zulassung von Trägern und Maßnahmen in das SGB III eingefügt. Die AZWV wurde durch eine neue Verordnung des BMAS abgelöst, die im Wesentlichen Regelungen zur Trägernahmezulassung und zum Zulassungsverfahren enthält.

Die von den Agenturen für Arbeit bzw. Jobcentern an Arbeitsuchende herausgegebenen Bildungsgutscheine für zur Förderung der beruflichen Weiterbildung (FbW) bzw. Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutscheine (AVGS) können nur in nach AZAV zertifizierten Bildungsmaßnahmen bei entsprechend zertifizierten Bildungsträgern eingelöst werden. AVGS zur Personalvermittlung analog bei entsprechend zertifizierten Personalvermittlungsunternehmen.

Die AZAV gliedert die Bildungsträger bzw. Personalvermittlungsunternehmen nach verschiedenen Fachbereichen:
 Aktivierung und berufliche Eingliederung
 Private Arbeitsvermittler
 Berufswahl und Berufsausbildung
 Berufliche Weiterbildung
 Transferleistungen
 REHA-spezifische Maßnahmen
Die Zulassung von Trägern erfolgt über eine Dokumentenprüfung und ein anschließendes Vor-Ort-Audit, während es sich bei Maßnahmenzulassungen in der Regel um eine Dokumentenprüfung handelt. Die in der AZAV beschriebenen Anforderungen werden durch die Empfehlungen des Beirats nach § 182 SGB III und Umsetzungshinweise nach § 6 Abs. 2 AZAV der Bundesagentur für Arbeit konkretisiert und sind verbindlich.

Pangu iOS 8.0 – iOS 8.1.x Jailbreak Released for Download
by Usman Qureshi – Wed, October 22, 2014
Pangu team has today released the first jailbreak solution for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices running iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.x. The jailbreak tool is currently available in Chinese language for Windows users only, and so far there is no ETA for an English language Pangu jailbreak or a Mac version. Also, the release seems fairly buggy and is primarily aimed at developers so we advise you to proceed with caution (via iDownloadBlog).
Following Pangu jailbreak's release, Saurik has also released the updated version of Cydia compatible with iOS 8, though it needs to be downloaded from his official website (.deb file) and requires manual installation. Here's what he said on Reddit:
"I've given a new version of Cydia Installer in the form of a standard jailbreak bootstrap for inclusion in a new version of their jailbreak. I've also pushed the .deb of the iOS 8 version of Cydia to apt.saurik.com for manual download, but not yet to my repository. A lot of thanks goes out to limneos, who tested the new build for me, as I was at an airport (and now am frantically typing this message while they figure out how to retract the jetbridge from the plane I'm on that is about to take off)."
According to Pangu's website, below is the list of Pangu iOS 8.0 – iOS 8.1.x jailbreak compatible devices:
It is advised to update to iOS 8.1 before attempting the jailbreak. Also, the Pangu Team recommends turning off Lock screen passcode and Find My iPhone before proceeding. Below are the download links to Pangu's latest version and Cydia for iOS 8 by Saurik:

Dwight Rich School of the Arts announces no cell phone policy after fight videos circulate
Scripps National
By: Elle Meyers
LANSING, Mich. — Dwight Rich School of the Arts in Lansing announced a no cell phone policy on Friday after videos circulated of a teacher fighting with students and students fighting on school grounds.
Students are now expected to keep their phones off and placed in their backpacks, lockers or in the front office.
Phones will not be allowed during any recesses or lunch breaks.
"In an attempt to maintain our focus as an educational facility and minimize unnecessary distractions we are recommitting to adhering to the Lansing School District cell phone and electronic communication device policy," the school wrote to students and families. "Technology is a privilege not a right and its use must comply with the mission of the district and is intended solely for the enhancement of the educational process."
Students who do not comply with the new rules will not be warned, the school wrote, and the student will face disciplinary action.
