The team at the Parcast network have put a unique stylistic stamp on the true crime podcast genre. With offerings like Unsolved Murders with Carter Roy and Wendy MacKenzie, Parcast gives their listeners a sanitized and homey feel to the retelling of some of history's most gruesome crimes.
Now the adjective "sanitized" may seem like a slight, however, in this podcaster's humble opinion it is akin to a Steven Spielberg film style that plays big and is commercially appealing to the audience. It is a branded feel for their shows that makes Parcast a leading podcasting network.
The professional broadcasting and production from a Parcast true crime show are like the applesauce that makes the medicine go down easier. In that sense, sanitized is a high compliment.
Crimes of Passion, though, pushes the boundaries of a typical Parcast true crime production in all the right ways for the true crime diehards. Between the nature of the content on Crimes of Passion and the method of delivery, this is by far and away Parcast's most risque offering within their true crime genre catalog.
I have written previously that shows like Hostage and Serial Killers have that unique style of the host and co-host having different roles serving a dramatic and psychological deep dive into our favorite true crime stories.
The very first case I listened to on Crimes Of Passion took a was a two-part, comprehensive look into Harold Nokes and his wife Ena Nokes. I had never heard of this case referenced on any of the other multitudes of podcasts I listen to and was floored.
Just as advertised, the case involves an unfulfilled housewife Kay Hein who gets involved with the swinging Nokes couple. Hein, who was not receiving the attention and emotional support she needed in her own marriage became intoxicated with the attention that Harold Nokes was giving her.
As their somewhat innocent flirtation devolved into a full-on affair, Kay Hein and Harold Nokes began to escalate things. Eventually, in order to please him and in an attempt to get Nokes to leave his wife Ena Nokes, Kay Hein agreed to engage in a sexual escapade with the couple in hopes that he would one day leave his wife so they could be together forever.
Lanie Hobbs pulls no punches and holds down double duty here as the host and narrator of the series. It is commendable and quite impressive how Hobbs goes about delivering in both roles, never to the detriment of either, and nails the Parcast hallmark of a clinical, psychological breakdown of the case.
The subject matter of Crimes of Passion raises the stakes for Parcast and puts the show in the same vein as some of their contemporaries in true crime who produce content of a more graphic nature. As you can imagine, the second case they take on, which is Jodi Arias, goes even further into the psychological depravity, sexual lust, and yes, the ultimate crime of passion.
True crime shows can be a controversial subject. Often, there is a fine line between glorifying and sensationalizing the crimes versus investigating and understanding the darker side of humanity.
There are concerns that the genre profits from the tragedy of others while the listeners are faced with the moral quagmire of being entertained by some of the most horrific events that have happened in our society.
Does true crime serve any public good? Is it OK to be entertained by events that have ruined peoples lives?
Parcast walks these true crime balancing acts dutifully and consistently delivers entertainment while giving the listener a rare and fascinating glimpse into the perspective and psychological dynamic of the perpetrators of these perplexing crimes.
For instance, Lanie Hobbs tells us that Jodi Arias exhibited the traits of a woman with a borderline personality disorder. This may explain all of the bizarre and possessive behavior leading up to the murder. In this sense, Parcast throughout its array of shows serves as a public service in re-telling of these stories not solely for sensational, shock value.
Make no mistake, though, most listeners arrive to consume podcasts for the sake of being entertained or to be taken away from the daily grind of life but we must also deconstruct these cases as a society.
We may never fully understand the mindset of certain criminals but we have to gain a certain level of awareness and recognition of the patterns that play out in these crimes.
To help further underscore the recurring themes and elements throughout the various cases on Crimes Of Passion, Parcast landed a fitting interview with famed prosecutor Marcia Clark who rose to prominence through the notorious O.J. Simpson case.
Clark, who is coming out with her own television drama The Fix, a show steeped in court cases and crime, lent her experiences and expertise to the interview with the Crimes Of Passion team as a value-add of bonus content at the end of the Jody Arias episode 2.
Exciting news Parcasters! Make sure you stay tuned after today's episode of Crimes of Passion for a special Q&A with Prosecutor, Author, Executive Producer & Co-Creator of @ABCNetwork's #TheFix, @thatmarciaclark! So excited to share this with you!
If you thought that some of the Parcast offerings were somewhat watered down or pasteurized by its unique style of storytelling, then I would suggest to go and listen to Crimes of Passion.
Lanie Hobbs deserves an award for her ability to take on the host, narrator, and commentator roles. I would be remiss to leave out a mention of respect also to the folks from Crimes of Passion that are behind the writing and production of the show as well.
I appreciate and enjoy shows like Hostage, Serial Killers, Unsolved Murders, and now Crimes of Passion because not only do they explain some compelling tales of true crime, but the insight into the psychological component of the perpetrator gives the listener a sound understanding behind the crime.
It is that thoroughness in detail and perspective of the retelling of the crimes that give the Parcast shows in their roster that unique and branded feel.
Kudos to the entire Crimes of Passion team and to Parcast for raising their own bar and pushing their own limits in the highly-competitive world of true crime podcasting.

Two candidates for U.S. Senate from the Front Range will debate for the first time on the Western Slope next weekend.
Incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet of Denver will face off with Republican challenger Darryl Glenn, an El Paso County commissioner, at 8:15 p.m. Saturday at the Club 20 fall meeting at the Two Rivers Convention Center in Grand Junction.
The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported Thursday that the Libertarian candidate, Lily Tang Williams, will not be allowed to debate because the party failed to meet Club 20's requirement of more than 1 percent of the state's voters.
The race also includes Green party nominee Arn Menconi and Unity Party of Colorado candidate Bill Hammons.
The hour-long meeting between Bennet and Glenn will follow a debate by the 3rd Congressional District candidates, incumbent Republican Scott Tipton of Cortez and Democrat Gail Schwartz of Crested Butte.
Debates between Western Slope legislative candidates will occur during the day. Registration is required to attend. Club 20 is a coalition of Western Slope counties.
Bennet holds a commanding lead in polls and fundraising in the race but has committed to debating the challenger. A debate schedule, however, has not been announced. Glenn declined to participate in a proposed Denver Post/7News debate.
Bennet and Glenn spoke Thursday at the United Veterans Committee Forum at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and Events Center. Glenn, however, spoke early in the event and left before Bennet arrived. Bennet was the evening's final speaker.
Glenn cited his 21 years in the Air Force to the veterans.

Elon Musk's success was written in his birth chart
Elon Musk, 50: the man, the mystery, the visionary and … Twitter drama queen.
In recent years, his name has begun to appear everywhere, as he's focused on using his influence to make people worldwide angsty as hell that they're unlikely to own even a fraction of the titan's whopping $222 billion, making him the world's richest man ahead of Jeff Bezos, 57.
Musk is the founder, CEO and CTO of SpaceX; co-founder, CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors; chairman of SolarCity, co-chairman of OpenAI; co-founder of Zip2; and co-founder of PayPal. His ambitions in the space race are high — eager to colonize life on Mars — as well as potentially launch a new university and donate $6 billion to battle world hunger.
If that weren't enough to boast about, the cryptocurrency named after his dog has surged 2,400%. It appears that everything the mogul touches ends up turning to gold.
But what in Musk's birth chart makes him King Midas? Let's find out!
Elon Musk's birth chart
Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971. That means that he is a focused Cancer Sun with an analytical Virgo Moon. Also, by looking at his chart, we see that his Sun and Moon are in a blessed angle of harmony, meaning that life patterns happen easily for him and he can quite fluidly balance his mind, heart and desires.
As a Cancer Sun, he is intuitive, compassionate and very adept at reading people and situations authentically. Cancers are a Cardinal Water sign, meaning that they have no problem asserting themselves and taking the lead — especially when they're emotionally invested in the result. This makes them solid leaders and able to rally people behind them.
His Virgo Moon is so obvious, too, because those with this placement are extremely good at seeing the minutia of situations to read between the lines and then intuitively begin to develop a very clear method to improve plans going forward. Virgo energy is that of a manager, who can comprehend the overall vision while always understanding how to get from A to Z.
In that regard, he is highly intellectual and likely a perfectionist — which on one hand can make him more critical of himself and others, but is also a testament to his tremendous success. His ability to delegate is so advanced — to a level I have not seen in someone's birth chart before.
Elon Musk was born for great success
Astrology is an art form that has many uses — so, of course, I can look at someone's natal chart and make predictions regarding their lifelong cycles and aspects of their personality. In one regard, the birth chart is like a blueprint and map regarding how one can activate their strengths and reach ultimate fulfillment.
Musk's main theme throughout his planetary alignments favors major success, wealth and fortune, giving him the ability to persevere despite challenges and become more ambitious with each single victory. His outer planets — which usually tie to our impact on society and larger themes in life — above and beyond speak about his greater destiny.
First, his Jupiter, the planet of luck and fortune, links with Pluto, the planet of major wealth and corporations. Then his Jupiter is in a very powerful alignment with Saturn, which rules authority and strength. This reveals that his ascent has taken time but, due to his focus on education, discipline and upholding a high standard for himself and his work, he was destined for long-lasting success and security. Jupiter is united with Neptune, the planet of visionary ideas and fantasy, bringing him above-average amounts of good luck and a humanitarian approach to life.
Last, his Pluto links with both Neptune and Saturn in a beautiful rapport, too. This shows that he has a far-reaching vision for the evolution of humanity and is deeply motivated to aid in this next great leap forward. Professional success, great wealth and mighty authority were easy for him to step into, and once he began to realize his intrinsic ability to rule — he never looked back. Even just one of these planetary aspects is profound, but with all of them present, it is clear to see that the stars have favored him specifically.
Elon Musk has grand plans for the space race.
Elon Musk has important choices ahead as he builds his legacy
When it comes to his destined path in the coming years, we will see a great deal of growth and success for Musk from 2022 onward for many decades, as a powerhouse planet such as Jupiter, Saturn or Pluto will be hovering within his solar sector of expansion and growth. This tends to mean someone's weight in the media increases, and also their ability to move in vast new directions in the pursuit of new horizons. He has so much energy on his side.
Also, an event called the Great Conjunction took place on Dec. 21, 2020, and officially ushered in the "Age of Aquarius." This has been approaching for decades but was firmly cemented at that time to last for the next several hundred years. During this time, space travel, technology and astrology will grow in power. We will experience a visionary period around all of these areas — which is why Musk's exponential success in 2021 has been great but is likely to truly flourish in the decades ahead.
When it comes to his personal life, Musk has an extensive dating history. However, due to electric eclipses that take place in 2022 and 2023, he's likely to fall in love with someone new or find that his children demand more attention from him. When it comes to settling down or potential marriage, he does have opportunities for that, but most potently these will get super serious from 2027 until 2029.
The sky — or space, really — is his only limit.

Award winning rapper Jay-Z will perform before 100,000 people this summer at Hackney Marshes in a celebration for the Olympic Games.
The artist otherwise known as Shawn Carter was confirmed as the headline act for Radio 1's Hackney Weekend by station DJ Chris Moyles this morning.
The Roc Nation record label founder, Grammy winner and new father will join Tinie Tempah, Jessie J and Florence and the Machine in the line-up.
Jason Carter, event director for the Hackney Weekend, said: "Our goal was to deliver the most ambitious and exciting event in Radio 1's history and with the artists already announced I think we've achieved that. But to now add the world's biggest hip hop icon, Jay Z, to the line-up, is fantastic news."
Other acts set to perform in this year's Big Weekend include Black Eyed Peas vocalist Will.i.am, electronic dance trio Swedish House Mafia and French DJ David Guetta.
Mayor of Hackney Jules Pipe said: "The Hackney Weekend is shaping up to be the outdoor music event of the year and with Jay Z now confirmed, demand for tickets will be even greater.
"We have secured half of the tickets for Hackney residents and there's still time to register to be part of the borough's biggest ever event."
Registration for tickets continues here until 11pm on March 19, and applicants must provide a photo.

Depression is the leading cause of global disability, and many patients fail to respond to standard treatments. Preliminary evidence suggests that adjunctive nutrition therapy may improve treatment outcomes in depression. We review the evidence for the efficacy and/or mechanisms of the following nutrients: vitamin D, vitamins B12 and B9, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, omega-3 fatty acid, N-acetylcysteine, and nicotinamide riboside. Preliminary evidence suggests that these nutrients may facilitate mood regulation by regulating neurotransmitters, engaging in reduction-oxidation, or by modulating neuronal structure. Although initial evidence is promising, large, placebo-controlled studies are needed to validate their efficacy.


Direct your own video for 'Piece of Me'!
Britney Spears may have shot a video herself earlier this week, but now it's your turn. For her next Blackout single, "Piece of Me," the singer wants fans to give her a piece of them right back — by directing a separate video for her, with the winning clip to be played on "TRL."
The "Britney Spears Wants a Piece of You" contest launches on Monday, at which point MTV will open its vaults of the footage shot of the pop singer over the years, including interviews, red-carpet appearances and performances. Fans who want to get their Spielberg on can access the goods via the MTV Video Remixer. Pick the shots you like, mash them up and hit "send" — clips can be up to 3:34 in length or shorter. The grand prize winner also will receive a brand new Haier Ibiza Rhapsody device along with a one year subscription to Rhapsody, as well as the entire catalogue of Spears' CDs and DVDs released in the U.S.
Looking for inspiration or guidance to see how video mashes like these have been done in the past? Kelly Clarkson, Nelly Furtado, Common and Paramore have all given their fans chances to do Web-based video remixes on the site using Adobe Premiere Express, so watch their remixes first if you want to learn the technique, and then give Britney your best shot.
MTV, Jive Records and Britney herself will decide the winner, whose video will be premiered exclusively on "TRL" on December 20. That's well before the airing of the video Spears shot this week — that won't surface until January at earliest. The winning "Piece of Me" video will also get an all-day premiere on MTV Hits and an online premiere on MTV.com.

FPL Watch: Must have, Differential & Budget Options for the festive period
Anirudh Shenoy December 7, 2018 7 min read
GW 15 was one full of rotation and surprises with many of the usual big hitters missing including the likes of Andy Robertson, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Sadio Mane and players like Mohamed Salah and Alex Lacazette making impacts off the bench.
Today, we look at players across the pitch who pose a good differential, budget and a must have option in your FPL team.
Must have: Lucasz Fabianski. The West Ham shot-stopper is the joint highest point scorer outside the current top6 and has saved all 3 of the last 3 penalties he faced in stark contrast to only 2 of his previous 19. He has the second most number of saves in the division and has received the most bonus points(9) for any keeper. With some brilliant fixtures over the next 6 GWs, and at a very affordable 4.6M he could be a stellar option to set and forget.
The differential: Over the next 12 game weeks, a home game against Manchester United is the only game that ranks over 4 for Hugo Lloris on the FDR. He is priced slightly high at 5.4M but is owned by less than 5%. With Vertonghen and Alderweireld back in the starting line up, the clean sheets could increase for the Frenchman. He offers you a differential to the conventional Ederson or Alisson picks. He's conceded only 11 in 11 and has four clean sheets to his name.
Ownership of less than 5%
The budget option: Joe Hart at 4.5M has conceded the most goals, but that should not deter you from looking at his prospects. The Burnley defense has been lackluster this season but Joe Hart has made the most number of saves and ranks highest on the bonus points system. After tough games away to Arsenal and Spurs, the next 8 weeks have only Manchester United at a ranking higher than 3 on the FDR. He could be a very steady number 2.
The must have: Kieran Trippier who is just back from an injury looks like the must-have option for the season. He might get rested ahead of Spurs' huge Champions League game against Barcelona, but post that he has delightful fixtures over the next 10 weeks, much like Hugo Lloris. With Serge Aurier likely to be playing the EFL Cup quarter-final and the early stages of the FA Cup, Trippier might be one that avoids rotation risk. With both Pep and Klopp rotating regularly and with the Spurs full-backs sharing set pieces with Eriksen, if he manages to stay free of rotation, he could be the must-have we've been waiting for after diminishing returns from the likes of Marcus Alonso. He ranks 3rd highest for creativity and is 5th on the ICT index despite missing 3 games.
The differential: This option is quite usually populated by Ben Chilwell but Leicester's torrid fixtures mean we look elsewhere in the direction of Sead Kolasinac with the Arsenal man starting the last 5 since Emery changed the formation. In that time although he has not provided any clean sheets, he has provided 2 assists and 3 bonus points. His ICT is 5.48 per game, compared to highest ICT scorer, Doherty is 6.16 which is a pretty good number. He is ahead of Marcos Alonso's 5.32. If Emery is to persist with a back 5, Kolasinac might well be a decent option to get in ahead of the curve at a very lucrative 4.9M, owned by less than 2% and some delightful fixtures.
Price – 4.9M, TSB – 2%
The budget option: Sean Morrison at 4.7M ranks highest for a defender in the bottom half of the table on the ICT index. Over the next 16 weeks, even though Cardiff are not expected to win too many games they have only 3 fixtures ranking above 3 on the FDR. Morrison has already picked up 4 assists this season. He could be a cheap 4th defender option if you cannot afford Matt Doherty.
The must have: Raheem Sterling seems to have got his rest away to Watford and might not feature in the dead rubber against Hoffenheim with City already through to the last 16. Pep Guardiola has praised the Englishman's fitness and with Aguero's absence, we might even see him start as a false 9 for City if Jesus is to be ignored. The numbers speak for itself, he has the highest points for anyone across the game, the most bonus points and has 15 goal scoring contributions in his 12 starts. He's a whole 2 points per game higher than second-placed Eden Hazard. After the game against Chelsea, there is only a home game against Liverpool that would be of some concern in his next 8, also making him a very viable captain option.
The differential: Robert Snodgrass, is owned by less than 1% of the managers and with Marko Arnautovic being ruled out, is set to be a very interesting option. He is priced at only 5.3M and has 3 assists in his last 2 games. With West Ham's next 6 looking very good and him thriving in the absence of Andriy Yarmolenko, most managers might flock to him very soon so you could get ahead of the curve. His ICT index stats might not be as high due to the poor start to the season for the Hammers, but with him being on set plays as well, he is hard to ignore.
3 assists in his last 2 games
The budget Option: Huddersfield have had a torrid time this season, but they offered a shock as they went to Wolves and won 2-0, courtesy two Mooy goals. If one were to observe the fixtures, after the Arsenal game the next 8 look particularly good with Man United(A) being the only fixture that ranks above 2 on the FDR. On current value(form) he is only behind Armstrong. He's missed only one game, through personal commitment and is on all of Huddersfield's set pieces. If they are to find a goal over the next 8 you can be sure he'll be in and around it. He ranks second on the ICT index behind Townsend of all the teams outside the Top 10.
The must have: Harry Kane. He is the most inform striker in the league with 4 goals and 2 assists in his last 5. He has played more than 85 minutes in every league game this season and is likely to steer clear of rotation over Christmas, something which is as valuable as gold to FPL managers. His fixtures look healthy all the way through to the end of February. He ranks only behind Aguero on the ICT index and it would appear with the City man's absence, Kane is getting back to his best and a near essential in most of our teams and is also a very sturdy captaincy option.
The differential: Romelu Lukaku. Hold back the giggles and hear us out. Lukaku is the Premier League's leading scorer away from home behind Harry Kane. His ICT index score per game where he has started is 8.08, in comparison to Harry Kane's 9.12 and Callum Wilson's 8.62.
Although the numbers aren't great, with him getting his rest against Arsenal, United conceding a bucket load of goals and seemingly always having to come from one or two behind, Lukaku could be an interesting way to replace Aguero if you don't have the funds to move up to Kane and are wary of the rotation threat that the Arsenal front 2 pose. Over the next 11 United face only Liverpool and Spurs from the Big 6 and with them needing points, Lukaku might have a big role to play. It's a risk, but if it pays off you are looking at good returns.
Lukaku is the Premier League's leading scorer away from home behind Harry Kane
The budget option: There are two forwards in this category, one for the premium budget forward in Alex Lacazette who has been on the bench in the last few games and the other being Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Lacazette seems ready for a start after being on the bench in the last 2 games and coming on to good effect against Spurs and United helping the Gunners hit the front. He does not risk being played out wide like Lacazette and the Arsenal fixture list looks like a jackpot especially with Europa league football done after this Thursday. He has an ICT index of 9.32 in every game he has started which is higher than everyone else barring Sergio Aguero's 10.9. A home game against Huddersfield in the week also makes him a great captain option.
Mitrovic leads the line for Ranieri and chipped in with an assist against Leicester in their 1-1 draw at home. After the United home game, Fulham have some very good fixtures and with Mitrovic ranking 4th on the ICT index for all forwards and having two goal-scoring contributions every three games he seems very hard to ignore.
Side notes/tips: Aboubakar Kamara at 4.3M appears to be a great enabler if you are looking to go to 5 in midfield or 4 across the back line. Diop at 4.3M is an excellent 5th choice defender or even a 4th if you don't have Fabianski.

Mobile Device Failures on the Rise Across US Enterprises According to B2M Solutions Survey
HomeAll PostsGadgetsMobile Device Failures on the Rise Across US...

ATLANTA & ABINGDON, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mobile device failures are having an increasingly significant impact on the day-to-day operations of businesses across the US, according to new research released today. Over half (51%) of workers polled in the 2nd annual State of Enterprise Mobility Survey, which was commissioned by B2M Solutions, reported experiencing at least one mobile issue per month that hinders their ability to do their job.
These problems are still on the rise, with more than a third (37%) of workers saying the number of issues they've experienced with mobile devices over the last 12-18 months has increased. The research reveals that the top three problems or causes of device failure as stated by workers are: unreliable network connections (45%), battery failure (41%), and applications crashing or becoming unstable (40%).
The impact of these failures is significant in terms of employee well-being, with two thirds (66%) of workers reporting anxiety or increasing levels of stress when issues with their mobile devices prevent them from doing their job, an increase from 39% of workers in last year's survey.
This is also hurting enterprises when it comes to productivity, with 95% of all workers affected by mobile issues stating that it has negatively impacted their productivity. Meanwhile, 37% of workers have taken at least one day off in the last 12 months due to the stress of not being able to do their job because of mobility issues, more than double from last year's survey (16%).
"B2M highlights the problems experienced by line workers in the Total Cost of Ownership models VDC has been promoting for 10 years," said Eric Klein, Director, Enterprise Mobility & Connected Devices at VDC Research. "This recent research by B2M suggests the problem may be far higher than what IT sees, and is, therefore, a significant cost to the business which must be attacked using proactive visibility tools such as what B2M's Elemez brings to the market."
"Mobility is a business-critical asset across most enterprises today, yet this research clearly highlights that mobile device failures are high in volume, negatively impacting productivity, staff morale and costing businesses revenue," said Gary Lee, Chief Revenue Officer of B2M Solutions. "The research also reveals a clear gap between the issues impacting frontline workers and visibility of these among the IT department."
"While 95% of workers affected by mobile device issues say it has hindered their productivity, only 33% of IT workers believed this was the case. This is where businesses need to go beyond mobile device management and implement solutions that provide them with actionable insights and real-time visibility, across the board, into the mobility issues impacting their workforces. Proactively spotting and fixing problems, and in some cases even predicting them, is the key to better management of business-critical mobile devices and applications, and the user experience for all mobile users."
To request a copy of the 2nd annual State of Enterprise Mobility Survey, visit https://b2msolutions.com/2019-state-of-enterprise-mobility.
B2M Solutions conducted an online survey of over 550 US companies in July 2019 using an independent market researcher. The pool of end-user survey respondents was screened by the provider to ensure they depend on a mobile device to do their job daily, while IT worker survey respondents were screened to ensure they were in charge of supporting mobility in an enterprise with a minimum of 500 mobile devices. The average number of devices supported within each enterprise surveyed was 3,880, with respondents coming from vertical markets including Government, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecoms, Transport and Utilities, among others.
About B2M Solutions
Since 2002, B2M Solutions has been providing the tools those in charge of mobility deserve to deploy and manage enterprise mobility. The company's inaugural product, mprodigy, is an MDM solution still used by large enterprise customers today. B2M's Real-time Visibility / Analytics solutions, Elemez, was developed as the company saw the shift beginning towards widespread use of mobility and the evolving business-critical needs to go beyond MDM / EMM to manage mobile devices in real-time. Elemez is used by enterprise customers around the world to go beyond MDM and ensure support of mobility can shift from reacting to end-users' problems after they occur (when they are by definition suffering lost productivity and other costs), to giving the real-time visibility needed to proactively manage all devices and users.

Sri Lanka blocks social media and imposes curfew after anti-Muslim attacks
But Muslims in North-West Province remained nervous and stayed indoors Wednesday, after sword-wielding rioters killed one man late Monday while vandalising scores of shops and mosques. "Mobs had attacked him with sharp weapons at his carpentry workshop", said an unidentified police official. "This is the first death from the riots".
It has sparked a surge of anti-Muslim hate in the country.
The latest rioting came three weeks after a string of suicide bomb attacks against three Christian churches and three luxury hotels, leaving 258 people dead and almost 500 wounded.
In a televised address, Police Chief Chandana Wickramaratne warned that officers would respond to rioters with maximum force.
Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) leader and Minister of City Planning and Water Supply and Higher Education Rauff Hakeem yesterday in a statement strongly condemned mob attacks on innocent members of the Muslim community.
Mobs moved through towns in the northwest on motorbikes and even in buses, ransacking mosques, burning Korans and attacking shops with petrol bombs, Muslim residents said.
"It is terrible and frightening to witness the unfolding events of innocent men, women and children of the Muslim community are targeted in reprisal for the horrendous and beastly attacks by some extremists on three holy shrines and three hotels on 21April".
Curfews have been in place in the districts in the country's north-west since Sunday when a group of men smashed up Muslim-owned shops and a mosque in a dispute with a local shopkeeper. "There are people trying to make political capital out of this situation".
The Lankan government on Monday also reimposed a ban on social media following violent incidents between the minority Muslim and majority Sinhalese communities in the country.
Platforms were similarly blocked after the Easter attacks.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that they will take "strong action" and that acts of sabotage were hampering an investigation by security forces.
A state of emergency has been in place since the bombings - which the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group claims to have helped - and security forces have been given sweeping powers to detain suspects.
There had already been clashes last week between Christians and Muslims in Negombo, the town north of Colombo that was targeted by the suicide attackers.
The mob attacked the main mosque, 17 Muslim-owned businesses and 50 homes, witnesses said.
Authorities have arrested dozens of suspected rioters, including three described as Sinhala Buddhist hardliners who had been investigated for similar actions in the town in Kandy district previous year. Earlier, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and Instagram had been blocked to prevent the spread of messages inciting violence.
The flare-up is the worst violence in the three weeks since Sri Lankan Islamist bombers blew themselves up in four hotels and three churches on Easter Sunday.

Pep named Premier League Manager of the Season
UEFA are looking to slap a 1 year ban on Manchester City , and will be advocating for that punishment in the coming month or so. It was a pleasure to play against all of them and hopefully do big, big battles again to win an incredible title.
Kate Middleton took royal baby Archie the sweetest present
As for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , they're enjoying parenthood one day at a time. Mr Chalmers said: "He said it's awesome but it's hard work".
She said she hoped it would lead to a "more human internet that can not be used by terrorists for their hateful purposes". According to her, the move "shows the Christchurch Call is being acted on".
The leaks resulted in Theresa May firing her defense minister Gavin Williamson, despite Williamson denying leaking anything. In December, Huawei CFO Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Canada on suspicion of violating USA sanctions concerning Iran.

Local physician disgusted by president's attacks on healthcare
Posted: Thursday 12.12.2019 2:02 pm Revised: Thursday 12.26.2019 2:02 pm Other Voices Health, Opinions, Other Voices, U.S.A
By Dr. Maissa Hider
As a physician who has dedicated her career to helping the sick and those in need, I'm disgusted by Donald Trump's attacks on healthcare and his failure to take action on prescription drug prices. While this president promised healthcare for all and lower prescription drug prices, the only thing we've gotten is broken promises and families suffering from ever-higher medical costs while he demonizes my family and many of our patients for being immigrants.
I've seen the effects of this president's broken promises firsthand while helping at my mom's pharmacy. Every day there's a different story— the grandmother who recently suffered a heart attack because she can't afford her lifesaving drugs after losing her insurance when her husband passed away. Or the child whose family can't afford insulin after they lose their insurance. Or a girl who, after suffering a heart attack at birth, now has to pay more than $100 a month for life saving medication. These families are pillars of our community, and they are needlessly suffering. My mom has served our community in Dearborn for decades and she does what she can to help these families get by, but she's barely paying the bills because of it.
Politics aside, it's clear to me that Donald Trump's policies don't help me, my mom or the patients we serve. He's fought to strip healthcare from the most vulnerable and failed to take action on prescription drug prices, breaking promise after promise that he made. And he does this while attacking those most desperately in need despite the contributions we've made to our country. In every house and every school in Dearborn you'll find stories like ours. Donald Trump's administration has really shocked me beyond words and we have to hold him accountable in 2020.

Hung at Sylvan : Chris McAlpine and John Jackson Two Negro Desperados Strung Up : Masked Men Overpowered the Guards and did the Work : A Complete Report from the Scene of the Tragedy
Tuskaloosa Gazette
Tuskaloosa, AL
HUNG AT SYLVAN; Chris McAlpine and John Jackson Two Negro Desperados Strung Up; MASKED MEN OVERPOWERED THE GUARDS AND DID THE WORK. A Complete Report from the Scene of the Tragedy.
SYLVAN, ALA, Feb. 12—[Special to the Gazette]— Thinking that you might be grateful for a news item, and not wishing the people of Foster's best to be mispresented in the smallest particular by and casual information, we send you the following:
On Monday night last, while everyone was buried in the deep response of the midnight hour the citizens of Sylvan were startled by a terrific explosion. Springing from their beds, and alarmed at they know not what, they rushed from their houses to discover the store house of Mr. David S. Robertson in flames. On arriving at the spot, it was found that all efforts to wave any thing would be unavailing (achieving little or nothing). That the store had been set on fire was a self evident fact; as there had been no fire in it for several days, and not even a light had been in the store that night. As this was the second incendiary fire here in less than two months, the people of our usually quiet beat were aroused and it was determined it possible to discover the authors of this dastardly (wicked and cruel) deed.
Early Tuesday morning, bolts of goods were discovered by a negro boy at the foot of a tree not far from the store and upon examination tracks were found which led off towards the Warrior Swamp. There were followed by Morris, T.C. Willingham, D. Robertson, and J.W. Dubois, while other messengers were sent in all directions to give the alarm. With the [?] of old hounds, they followed the trail, till it ended at the river opposite the notorious Gary quarters. A boat was called for and after getting one third or the way across the river, its occupant, doubtless smelling a mouse, quickly backed water and made with all haste for the opposite bank.
The pursuing party thinking to stop the boat sent a load of squirre shot after its occupant, who proved to be the notorious desperate and thief Jno Jackson, colored who leaped into the water, and king his way up the slippery bluff, made off with the fleetness of a deer. Obtaining another boat this party gut across and soon began a vigorous search . Proceeding first to Jacksons house, their efforts rewarded by finding a large quantity of goods which Mr. R, immediately recognized as his property. Convinced that Jackson had not been alone, they continued their search and were amply repaid for their trouble, for they found another large batch of goods in the house of Charles McAlpine, Alias Skelton, Here the party divided, and while a a portion of the men who had their homes and children in pursuit of the friends in human shape, continued their pursuit of Jackson, two of the party returned to Sylvan, having Charles McAlipine in charge. Al night the weary men continued and about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning they captured Jackson at Stewarts Station. Both prisoners protested their innocence at first, but after finding that the proof was positive against them (as Jacksons wife had previously given away the whole thing) Charles wavered and made a clean breast of the whole plot. Jackson was the leader, and after robbing the store poured kerosene oil over the floor and remaining goods and set fire to them. The prisoners had a preliminary trial before Esquire Townsend, when both entered a plea of guilty, and were held over to away the action of the next grand jury.
Thursday morning any person vending his way down to where the upper and lower Eutaw roads for, half a mile from Sylvan would have beheld a sight calculated to appall the stoutest heart; swinging from a stout oak limb were the lifeless bodies of John Jackson and Charles McAlpine. Upon the back of each was pinned a place card and as their ghastly bodies swayed in the morning sun light the beholder read the following: "Warning to all house burners": and "Protection to our Property".
A corners jury was quickly empaneled by Esq. Townsend and the following information was elicited The guards of the prisoners, Mr C. L Hulsey, bonded constable and Mr. Jno T. witnessed testified that sometime during Wednesday night they were visited by a hand of armed men, all in masks who overpowered them and took the prisoners away. Under the excitement of the moment they could only form a faint idea of their number, but they estimated them at fifty at the least. Who they were or where they come from is a matter of mystery; but they certainly must have been a very quiet and orderly band, for no one heard anything unusual during the night to disturb the slumbers. Verily it seems that the way of the house burner proved to be a "hard road to travel".
While we ? have sympathized with mob law, except in extreme circumstances, yet talking cool dispassionate view of this case we think the "end justified the means".
Mr. Robertson's house and stock will be a total loss and amounts to thousands, certainly a severe blow to a hard working man to these times. Our people have been in a state of [?] ever since Mr. Guy Fosters store was burned Xmas night. At their trial, the prisoner confessed that about a year ago they had robbed Messere Philer and Smiths store at HuHs. We can but repeat, let this be a warning to house burners and midnight torch bearers.
1892. Feb 12. Store Burned. Tuskaloosa Gazette. Vol XX 74.

May set to champion UK's wind farm technology during visit
2018-February-1 Source: Chinadaily.com.cn
Last week, the governor of China's Guangdong province announced plans to construct 10 new offshore wind farms off the coast of South China.
An offshore wind farm generates power near Nantong City, Jiangsu province. Li cungen / xinhua
The giant turbines will generate 3.65 gigawatts of electricity, which is enough to power more than 2.5 million homes.
The story is the same in many other coastal regions of China, where fleets of turbines are springing up and powering the nation's clean-energy revolution.
Last year, China invested $132.6 billion in clean energy projects, a record-breaking 40 percent of the global total. Around $11 billion of the spending was directed at offshore wind projects.
The United Kingdom government has identified China's offshore wind boom as a huge opportunity for Britain, which is home to the most developed offshore wind industry in the world.
The UK has more than 1,400 offshore wind turbines in operation, and British companies have won at least 115 contracts to help build and service 50 offshore wind projects abroad. The vast majority of these contracts are in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.
Meanwhile, Danish and German contractors have snapped up dozens of contracts in the Chinese market and the UK government has increased efforts to ensure Britain remains competitive.
Greg Clark,the UK's business secretary, traveled to China in December to meet representatives from China's National Energy Administration, paving the way for Prime Minister Theresa May's visit.
Following that meeting, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, a research center based in Glasgow, signed an agreement with Tus-Wind, the wind power subsidiary of Beijing-based Tus-Clean Energy, to collaborate on the construction of a 500-megawatt offshore wind farm in Shandong province.
"Last year, the Chinese offshore wind market grew by 40 percent, and that growth is expected to continue," said Stephen Wyatt, research and innovation director for the Catapult. "What we are trying to do through our collaboration with Tus is to act as a launch-pad for small, high-growth-potential UK companies to access the Chinese market."
Some British companies have already begun to make inroads into China's offshore sector. Tekmar Energy, which specializes in cable protection, is working on array cables for the 400-megawatt Binhai North offshore wind farm off the coast of East China's Jiangsu province.
And UK-based wind turbine platform and foundation designer Atkins is building infrastructure for the 300-megawatt Binhai South offshore wind farm in the same region. Building turbine foundations in the ocean off China's East Coast is a highly technical endeavor because the seabed is made up of soft, silty materials.
"China represents a huge potential growth market for offshore wind and we're keen to share our experiences from the UK and Europe to help develop the market and the industry in Asia," said Andy Thompson, market director for offshore and onshore assets at Atkins.

A Golden Fury: A Novel (Hardcover)
By Samantha Cohoe
OUT OF STOCK - Email or call to order
"A vivid ride through eighteenth century Europe with darkness and dread creeping at its corners. Utterly enchanting." - Emily A. Duncan, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Saints
"Cohoe transmutes the legend of the Philosopher's Stone into a dark, intoxicating tale of ambition, obsession, and sacrifice. Prepare for a magic that will consume you." - Rosamund Hodge, New York Times bestselling author of Cruel Beauty and Bright Smoke, Cold Fire
In her debut novel A Golden Fury, Samantha Cohoe weaves a story of magic and danger, where the curse of the Philosopher's Stone will haunt you long after the final page.
Thea Hope longs to be an alchemist out of the shadow of her famous mother. The two of them are close to creating the legendary Philosopher's Stone—whose properties include immortality and can turn any metal into gold—but just when the promise of the Stone's riches is in their grasp, Thea's mother destroys the Stone in a sudden fit of violent madness.
While combing through her mother's notes, Thea learns that there's a curse on the Stone that causes anyone who tries to make it to lose their sanity. With the threat of a revolution looming, Thea is sent to live with the father who doesn't know she exists.
But there are alchemists after the Stone who don't believe Thea's warning about the curse—instead, they'll stop at nothing to steal Thea's knowledge of how to create the Stone. But Thea can only run for so long, and soon she will have to choose: create the Stone and sacrifice her sanity, or let the people she loves die.
Samantha Cohoe writes historically-inspired young adult fantasy. She was raised in San Luis Obispo, California, where she enjoyed an idyllic childhood of beach trips, omnivorous reading, and writing stories brimming with adverbs. She currently lives in Denver with her family and divides her time among teaching Latin, mothering, writing, reading, and deleting adverbs. A Golden Fury is her debut novel.

POPSUGAR, "Best New YA Books of October 2020"
"An engaging concoction of fantasy, romance, and historical fiction." - Booklist
"Cohoe situates the supernatural among the historical, referencing the French Revolution and the Enlightenment while...keeping a sense of urgency as Thea struggles with the magical, demonic pull of the Stone." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"If you liked Belle Revolte by Linsey Miller or All That Glitters (previously Enchantée) by Gita Trelease, you will love A Golden Fury." - NerdSpan
"The attention to detail in the story is excellent. ...Thea herself is a confident lead with a strong voice. A solid fantasy to flesh out the world of alchemy that most readers know only from 'Harry Potter.'" - School Library Journal
"Sharply written with a crackling, compassionately determined heroine, A Golden Fury is a vivid ride through eighteenth century Europe with darkness and dread creeping at its corners. Utterly enchanting." - Emily A. Duncan, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Saints
"Steeped in mystery and magic, Samantha Cohoe's A GOLDEN FURY immerses readers in beautifully rendered world where magic and science mix, and where the intoxication of power can be deadly. Whip-smart Thea is a heroine readers will root for." - Lisa Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Magician
"A Golden Fury is beguiling and unpredictable. Cohoe weaves an international adventure set against a rich historical backdrop, and alchemist Thea faces adversaries both human and magical with wit and grit. A compelling debut from a writer to watch." - Hannah Capin, author of Foul is Fair and The Dead Queens Club
"Alchemists used many methods to hide their secrets, but Cohoe has deciphered their riddles -- and uncovered a truth far darker and more complex than a miraculous rock. She lures you in with a promise of gold, then delivers something far more valuable: an intricate tale of ambition and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal, the quest for knowledge and the wisdom to use it correctly." - Marie Brennan, author of The Memoirs of Lady Trent
"I adore Thea - her fierce ambition, her intelligence, and the warmth she so desperately wants to share with someone worthy. This is an alchemical wonder of a book. It takes all the elements of a good story - mystery, magic, devastating stakes, compelling relationships and impossible choices - and weaves them into pure gold." - Catherine Egan, author of Julia Unbound
"A GOLDEN FURY invites you into a world of intrigue, magic and ambition. Set against the backdrop of the French revolution, it follows a talented, driven heroine, raised by her famous and overbearing mother to pursue alchemy's ultimate dream—the Philosopher's Stone—in a time when women had little rights of their own. Cohoe's prose is flush with clever dialogue and flawed-yet-sympathetic characters, so realistic they leap off the page. First loves, family secrets and shocking betrayals abound as our heroine pits her intellect against a curse of madness in this impossible-to-put-down debut." - Ellen Goodlett, author of Rule
"Full of rich historical detail, clever world-building, and tumultuous relationships, A Golden Fury transformed me. Cohoe's debut proves we are in the hands of a deft and dangerous creator. I sat up half the night thinking about it, and the other half longing to see her next book." - Tracy Townsend, author of Thieves of Fate series
"I fell for this thrilling tale of madness and murder, alchemy and obsession— and the fiercely determined Theosebeia Hope who will stop at nothing to get her heart's desire. I could not turn the pages fast enough!" - Gita Trelease, author of Enchantee

Are you looking for grant funding solutions for your nonprofit organization? Whether you are a volunteer or a paid staff member, you can participate in the process of securing grant funds to support the work of your charitable organization. There are several different ways to identify potential funding sources and request financial support for a 501(c)3 or other charity in the form of grant funding.
If you would like to apply for government funded grant programs, it's a good idea to register for www.grants.gov. You can register as an individual or on behalf of a charitable organization. You'll be able to research and apply for funding opportunities through the site. You may also want to search for proposal requests on the websites of government agencies likely to fund the types of services provided by your organization.
Spend time researching funding opportunities within your local community to support the work of your charitable organization. For example, if you work with an arts organization, your city or state may have an Arts Council that provides grant funding for specific projects. The Junior League in your area may offer community funding programs for certain types of projects. Professional organization chapters often provide funding to local charitable groups. Be creative when it comes to looking for potential funders in your area.
Find out which of the major employers in your area have charitable outreach programs. Many corporations believe in giving back to the communities where they do business. Search company websites for information about corporate foundations and community support programs to identify potential funding opportunities.
If you're responsible for securing funding for a nonprofit organization, it's important to realize that searching for grant funding solutions is something that you'll need to do on a daily basis. Once you identify the best websites for finding proposal opportunities, you'll need to check them on a daily basis. If you don't search for grant proposal requests regularly, you might miss out on an important opportunity.
Failure to follow the instructions is one of the main reasons grant applications fail to be considered. No matter what type of grant you are applying for, it's essential to complete the paperwork exactly as directed. Submit your application by the deadline, following the content, formatting, and other requirements to the letter.
Using the services of a professional grant writer can greatly improve your organization's chances of securing grant funding. Whether your organization hires a full time grant writer, contracts with a freelance grant writer, or is fortunate enough to have a professional grant writer working as a volunteer, it's essential that the person who is submitting applications of your behalf know how to successfully write grants.

Q: Counting first and last names appearing more than once I have the following names:
clear
input str25 names
"Trenton Mercer"
"Carissa Moyer"
"Timothy Delgado"
"Kaylynn Payne"
"Harry Patton"
"Charlie Dudley"
"Harry Schmitt"
"Wyatt Hammond"
"Kasen Delgado"
"Katherine Noble"
"Julius Jarvis"
"Harry Carney"
"Wyatt Holden"
"Megan Wilson"
"Priscilla Shaffer"
"Savanah Marshall"
"Harry Delgado"
"Harper Ballard"
"Harry Mcmahon"
"Alejandro Jarvis"
end

How can I identify which first and last names (separately) come up more than once?
I would also like to count how many times these appear.

A: Pearly's solution (with split as the definitely best choice for the issue) appears reasonable. But there are still some unnecessary contours. For example, generating tag, b1, b2 variables seems not really needed.
And more important, the final output is not thoroughly consistent, with the counting info just in line with seemingly-random order, which is also different from the original one without clear explanation.
Thus, I try to contribute a solution (which must also have defects), just as a way to  avoid those issues while still providing the output that you are seeking for.
split names

foreach v in `r(varlist)' {
    egen TotalAppear_`v' = total(`v' != ""), by(`v')
    egen LastAppear_`v' = max(_n), by(`v')
    replace LastAppear_`v' = LastAppear_`v'==_n
    list `v' TotalAppear_`v' if LastAppear_`v' == 1 & TotalAppear_`v' >1
}

It should be noted your description leads to assumptions made in my code as well as in Pearly's solution:

*

*Every name has only 2 parts, i.e. first name and last name, so not including any middle name(s).

*You just want to compare within each group (each first name among first names, last name among last names), not comparing any one with those from the other group.

About Dr. Redfern
Arthritis & Total Joint Replacement
Trauma & Difficult Fractures
Total Joint Replacement in Henderson, NV
The diagnosis and management of arthritis requires individualized treatment of each patient. Dr. Redfern will carefully listen to all patients tell their story of how their condition developed, perform a thorough exam of the involved joint, and order appropriate x-rays. Even before it was required by Medicare, Dr. Redfern followed a conservative approach prior to recommending joint replacement. Many treatments such as weight loss, medication, braces, and exercise can relieve joint pain. Injections of cortisone or hyaluronic acid can sometimes provide relief for more than a year. When conservative treatments don't work, Dr. Redfern has the expertise to replace your joints with the most advanced and safe joint replacement available. Dr. Redfern has been using the "high flexion" since it was available, which has made his patients very happy (see patient testimony below). Dr. Redfern's background in Biomedical Engineering has helped him to avoid complications with total joint materials. More information on the total knee used by Dr. Redfern can be found at www.getaroundknee.com. For more information on the benefits and safety of the ceramic-on-ceramic total hip, please go to www.aboutstryker.com/hip.
Patient Testimonial – Donald M.
Donald is an 81-year-old male who had right knee pain for more than two years. Pills and injections no longer provided relief. His x-rays confirmed that his joint was worn out, with loss of his cartilage. Donald had a high flexion GetAroundKnee replacement and was able to go home with home health after three days. He did not require a blood transfusion, but was put on blood thinners as usual to prevent blood clots. Within three weeks, he could walk without a cane or crutch. By six weeks, he had over 90 degrees of flexion. By 3 months, he could flex to 120 degrees. Donald says, "My knee feels great! I wish I had done this sooner!"
