Edwin Meese III (* 2. Dezember 1931 in Oakland, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Politiker (Republikanische Partei). Er war unter Ronald Reagan von 1985 bis 1988 der 75. Justizminister der Vereinigten Staaten.

Laufbahn
1953 absolvierte Meese das Undergraduate Programm der Yale University. Er besuchte erfolgreich die Law School der University of California, Berkeley. Zunächst war er Staatsanwalt (Assistant District Attorney) im Alameda County und ging in dieser Funktion rigoros gegen Anti-Vietnamkriegs-Demonstranten vor. 1967 wurde er Mitarbeiter im Büro von Gouverneur Reagan. Dort war er von 1967 bis 1968 Referent für rechtliche Angelegenheiten, danach bis 1974 Stabschef des Gouverneurs.

In dieser Position war Meese wesentlich an der Entscheidung beteiligt, die Studentenproteste im People's Park in Berkeley am 15. Mai 1969 niederzuschlagen. Polizisten töteten einen Demonstranten, mehr als hundert weitere wurden teils schwer verletzt. Meese wurde in der Folge angelastet, zur Eskalation der Lage beigetragen zu haben. Entgegen der Empfehlung des Stadtrates riet er Reagan, über Berkeley den Ausnahmezustand zu verhängen, was zu einer zweiwöchigen Besetzung der Stadt durch die Nationalgarde führte.

Nach dem Ende von Reagans Amtszeit als Gouverneur arbeitete Meese von Januar 1975 bis Mai 1976 als für die Verwaltung zuständiger Vizepräsident bei Rohr Industries in Chula Vista (Kalifornien). Danach zog er nach San Diego County, um dort eine private Anwaltskanzlei zu eröffnen. Von 1977 bis 1981 war er Professor für Recht an der katholischen University of San Diego (USD), wo er auch als Direktor des Zentrums für Strafrechtpolitik und -management arbeitete.

Justizminister und Iran-Contra-Affäre

Während des Präsidentschafts-Wahlkampfes 1980 war Meese Stabschef und erster Berater für Reagan und dessen Kandidaten als Vizepräsident, George Bush. Nach der Wahl war er führend an den Neuerungen unter Präsident Reagan beteiligt. Er wurde sein Rechtsberater, war Mitglied des Kabinetts und gehörte von 1981 bis 1985 dem Nationalen Sicherheitsrat an.

Von Februar 1985 bis August 1988 war Meese US-Justizminister (Attorney General). Seine Amtsführung war sehr umstritten. 1985 sorgte eine Rede für Aufsehen, in der er eine "Jurisprudenz der ursprünglichen Beweggründe" (jurisprudence of original intent) forderte und den Obersten Gerichtshof kritisierte, der seiner Ansicht nach von den ursprünglichen Ideen der Verfassung abgewichen sei.

Im Juli 1986 wurde der Schlussbericht der so genannten Meese Commission veröffentlicht, einer Kommission des Justizministers zur Untersuchung von Pornografie in den USA (Attorney General's Commission on Pornography). Der Bericht setzte sich sehr kritisch damit auseinander und wurde selbst wiederum in der Öffentlichkeit heftig kritisiert. Vertreter der Kommission nahmen im Verlauf des Jahres Kontakt mit Handelsketten auf und erreichten, dass Magazine wie Playboy und Penthouse aus den Regalen verschwanden. Diese Kampagne wurde zunächst in den gesamten USA durchgeführt, letztlich aber unter Berufung auf den 1. Zusatzartikel zur Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten (Redefreiheit, Pressefreiheit) per Gerichtsentscheid beendet.

Vor allem stieß Meese' Rolle in den Untersuchungen der Iran-Contra-Affäre auf Kritik, wo er eher als Berater und Freund des Präsidenten handelte und weniger als höchster Justizbeamter des Landes. Im offiziellen Schlussbericht des Untersuchungsausschusses des Kongresses zur Iran-Contra-Affäre steht in Kapitel 31 über seine direkte Beteiligung: "Meese wusste, dass die HAWK-Transaktion 1985, an der der Nationale Sicherheitsrat und die Central Intelligence Agency, ohne eine Genehmigung für Geheimoperationen durch den Präsidenten, direkt beteiligt waren, schwerwiegende rechtliche Fragen aufwarf. So entstand die Möglichkeit, dass der Präsident dem Vorwurf des illegalen Handelns ausgesetzt wird, wenn er von der Verschickung Kenntnis hatte und das dem Kongress nicht berichtete, wie es nach dem Arms Export Control Act (AECA) und mangels einer Genehmigung erforderlich gewesen wäre. [...] Als Meese während seiner Untersuchungen Antworten erhielt, die seine Verteidigung des Präsidenten nicht stützen, hat er sie offenbar ignoriert, wie im Fall von Außenminister George Shultz am 22. November, der ausgesagt hatte, dass der Präsident ihm gesagt hatte, schon im Voraus von der HAWK-Lieferung gewusst zu haben."

Meese war auch wiederholt Vorwürfen ausgesetzt, sich ethisch fragwürdig zu verhalten. Zwei Mal wurde durch das Büro des Unabhängigen Staatsanwalts (Office of Independent Counsel) eine Untersuchung gegen ihn eingeleitet. Auch wenn keine dieser Untersuchungen zu einer Anklage vor einer Grand Jury führte, hielten seine Kritiker ihre Korruptionsvorwürfe aufrecht.

Heute ist Meese unter anderem Mitglied der Heritage Foundation, einer einflussreichen konservativen Denkfabrik.

Am 8. Oktober 2019 bekam er von Präsident Donald J. Trump die Presidential Medal of Freedom verliehen.

NATIONWIDE GOVERNMENTAL RACKETEERING & TREASON:
Most of us now know from the news a little about the "Deep State." But are you aware that a Deep State is necessary—especially in this technological day and age—to protect us from our enemies?
The problem is that, like our once united States of America, our Deep State for the most part has been taken over too. A quiet civil war has been waged for decades between "Deep State Patriots" and "Deep State Traitors," who had, for the most part until Donald Trump was elected our President in 2016, incrementally taken over our "free" press, our courts and government offices for the most part, our resources, our economy, our banking, our currency, our healthcare—etc., etc., etc—i.e., our very way of life.
And what very few know is that the incremental treason is not confined to Washington D.C. Deep State Traitors have infiltrated government offices from coast-to-coast. In fact, many of our state and federal courts and offices have been taken over and are being operated like a mafia.
Every year, millions of court cases and administrative actions are "fixed" to benefit bureaucrats-turned-governmental-racketeers, and hundreds-of-billions of dollars are stolen from us—'under color of law'—via a multitude of federally-funded programs and services, and laundered into the pockets of friends and relatives running nonprofits, "quasi-governmental" agencies, and other government subcontractors.
This page begins to expose said nationwide governmental racketeering and treason. .

2. The Goal of the Racketeers is to Criminalize You
3. Third Section

5. Fifth Section
"Case Fixing" – Extortion 'Under Color of Law'
The Main Means to the Main End: Governmental Theft.
Other than unconstitutional taxation, the main method of extorting from the American People is through the courts 'under color of law'. Nearly every court case is "fixed" in one way or another these days.
Whether you are fighting a traffic ticket, facing a criminal charge, getting divorced, or acting on behalf of a minor or elder, you are likely up against an army of "case fixing criminals" and other racketeers who are running their own local racket, like the 'Kids for Cash' judges, or who are more likely being paid off by our foreign and domestic enemies ("Deep State traitors") to "fix" court cases and administrative cases, not only to benefit the racketeers but also to advance one of the Deep State's insidious agendas, such as to break apart American families.
In fact, many corrupt judges and officials make far more than their salaries to aid in the racketeering, some making millions 'under the table' while acting 'under color of law' to dupe the public into believing that they are just doing their jobs.
Court cases are fixed to increase profits and federal funding.
Cases are fixed in a variety of ways by judges, attorneys, prosecutors, public defenders, guardian ad litems, law enforcement officials, child support enforcement officials, and other officers of the court; and by court reporters, court administrators, probation and parole agents, treatment specialists, and other court cronies; who are willing to commit crimes such as fraud upon the court, mail fraud, perjury, subornation of perjury, extortion, conspiracy against rights, deprivation of due process and other rights, acting outside authority, issuing false orders and fictitious obligations, etc., or who are willing to obstruct justice or influence the proper administration of law by refusing to investigate, refusing to apprehend, refusing to charge, or otherwise neglecting official duties, executing false arrest warrants and serving other unlawful orders, processing fictitious obligations, manufacturing evidence, framing defendants, falsifying documents, altering records or accounts, tampering with witnesses, denying access to the court system, etc.
Case fixing is never done out of ignorance or inadvertence – it is a willful, conspired, calculated, treasonous crime.
One of the best examples of case fixing is the infamous 'Kids for Cash' case in Pennsylvania, which resulted in the convictions of two state judges, one of whom was sentenced to 28-years in prison!
Colorado and Minnesota are also becoming notorious for judges who are rampantly fixing court cases, with total impunity and immunity, as law enforcement and the states' highest officials look the other way.
For current real life examples of the case fixing, start here.
VICTIMS OF INJUSTICE: As you read through the detailed information in the sections below, you will likely be able to relate to one or more of the statements of fact, because it actually happened to you or to a loved one. Jot it down and write a brief description of how it took place in your case; then, in the future, you will be able to fill out a criminal complaint from the comfort of your home, which will hopefully be submitted to legitimate investigators in your jurisdiction, once they join in the mass-movement to expose and oust the wicked from our courts and government offices.
Case Fixing in Family Law:
Tens-of-thousands of family law 'professionals' churn and fix court cases and administrative proceedings, especially in divorce, for extra profits and federal funding.
Once the corrupt officers of the courts have the families' financial information, they pit the parents against each other in unnecessary and unlawful custody battles until they are broke, unconstitutionally subclass one of the parents as noncustodial, and deviate from the presumptions of equality to jack up the child support orders; dole out restraining orders like candy; fill up the jails with distraught parents; and engage in many other illegal "case fixing tactics"; all designed to pad their numbers for state and federal funding, from which, many of the racketeers have found ways to line their own pockets.
And once the family is broken and separated, many of the unfairly classed noncustodial parents, normally the 'breadwinners' and therefore normally the fathers, are forced to fight non-stop to see their children and to maintain contact with them, are blocked from modifying their child support and denied access to the courts, and are treated like criminals and obstructed by law enforcement in their pursuit of justice and protection for their families.
There is a huge incentive for the courts and officers of the court, human service offices and child support enforcement and child protection officials, police departments and sheriff offices, and many other local and state offices and officials, to criminalize noncustodial parents and cook their books to cheat the system to obtain more state and federal funding than they deserve.
Family law judges are ignoring legitimate family laws, common law precedence and the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which protect our rights to equal parenting, and are blatantly deviating from controlling law, constitutional guarantees, and presumptions of equality and parental fitness, to purposely reduce the role of the noncustodial parent in the raising of his or her children because it will jack up the child support order and result in increased funding for the local courts and government offices.
Family law judges are also ignoring basic parental rights and familial rights, which, although not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, were well-established by centuries of English common law and by our Founding Fathers, formed the very foundation of the Constitution itself, have been regarded as fundamental to the pursuit of happiness in the United States, and have been upheld in just courts throughout our history.
All states also have laws and precedence to protect parental rights, children's rights, and the institution of the family, which are often ignored by judicial officials, who use instead illegitimate family laws produced by corrupt legislators to maximize profits and funding, to break apart families, and to harass and oppress the noncustodial parents and other victims of their treasonous crimes.
Many local, state and federal officials, including high-ranking officials, know all about the case fixing in family law, but look the other way so their state and their offices will receive larger and larger appropriations from Congress each year.
Millions of divorced and divorcing American parents have been unconstitutionally sub-classed as noncustodial parents over the past several decades and intentionally harmed and oppressed (and are therefore entitled to compensation for their injuries).
Millions of American children have been forced to grow up without one or both of their parents, as part of the scheme (and are therefore entitled to compensation for their injuries).
And although many of the custodial parents capitalized on their new-found status and essentially partnered with our domestic enemies to take advantage of and oppress their ex-spouses, some are themselves victims of the case fixing in family law (and are entitled to compensation for their injuries along with their ex-spouse and their children).
Case Fixing in the Criminal Justice System:
Tens-of-thousands of criminal justice system 'professionals', including judges, prosecutors, public defenders, law enforcement officials, parole and probation agents, 'treatment' specialists, and other court cronies, are framing criminal defendants and fixing court cases for extra profits and federal funding.
Many criminal defendants are known to be innocent of the charges, but are prosecuted anyway.
Nearly all criminal defendants are ignorant in the law.
Nearly all criminal defendants are first framed at their bail hearing as a 'flight risk' to jack up the cash bail orders; whatever cash bail is posted usually becomes the price of the plea deal; and many times only a small fraction of the paid cash bails and plea deal fines are recorded and the rest is divvied up between the racketeers.
Most plea deals offered to poor defendants are conspired upon by their public defenders and the prosecutors to benefit the state; whoever cannot pay the cash bail or the plea deal fines will likely spend an excessive amount of time in jail or prison so that the county, state and federal offices involved can at least maximize their federal funding.
There are huge incentives for the courts and officers of the court, including the judges, the prosecutors, the public defenders, the parole and probation agents, counselors and treatment specialists, local law enforcement, and many other local and state offices and officials, to conspire and work together to make false arrests, to issue unwarranted restraining orders, to frame innocent citizens and other criminal defendants for excessive sentences, to intimidate suspects into accepting unfair plea deals, and to fill up and maintain full capacity at the local jails; and, when their victims complain, the racketeers turn them away, mislead them, deny them crime victim services, obstruct justice, deny access to the courts, treat them like they are the criminals, and do whatever it takes to keep the truth off the record.
Many involved in the criminal justice system pad their numbers for extra state and federal funding, from which many of the racketeers have found ways to line their own pockets.
Thousands of innocent criminal defendants are incarcerated each year.
Millions of criminal defendants are subjected to excessive bail, excessive jail and prison terms, excessive treatment, and excessive parole and probation terms each year to maximize funding.
Billions of dollars are extorted each year from the innocent, the poor, the young, the old, the ignorant, the pro se, child support debtors, and other criminal defendants.
The rights of the accused are violated millions of times each year.
Crime victims' rights are denied millions of times each year.
And many local, state and federal officials, including high-ranking officials, know all about the case fixing in the criminal justice system, but look the other way so their office will receive larger and larger appropriations from Congress each year.

At The Venice Film Festival, Florence Pugh Is ignoring The 'Don't Worry Darling' Press Conference
Shop 5 Pieces Under $100 – Hollywood Life
Here's What We Know About Mariska Hargitay's Children
I Hang Out With Ex Joel Madden 'All the Time'
Pugh is reportedly traveling into Venice from the set of Dune: Part Two and doesn't arrive until after the press conference, according to a source familiar with the production. Although the Variety piece brought it to light, a second source said that this was always the intention.
Olivia Wilde, Pugh's co-star in Don't Worry, Darling, and the film's director, have reportedly had a falling out. However, Wilde has since rejected that they have ever had a falling out and claimed that tabloid media is used to shame and pit women against one another. Pugh's absence from the event has led to rumors that Pugh and Wilde are not on speaking terms.
Wilde, 38, responded to accusations that the Oscar contender, 26, and her co-star, Harry Styles , received unequal compensation: "There have been a bunch out there that I generally don't give heed to." But what truly irritated me was the silliness of created clickbait and the accompanying outrage over a nonexistent pay gap between our star and supporting performers.
I've worked in this industry as a woman for more than 20 years, and as a director, in particular, I've fought for both myself and other women. Those assertions have no foundation at all, Wilde continued.
When Pugh failed to comment on or share a post from Wilde in July that praised the film's lead, fans also conjectured that the two ladies were engaged in a dispute. Pugh eventually did publish an article on the movie on August 11.
Don't Worry Darling stars Pugh and Styles as a young couple named Alice and Jack who reside in the 1950s in Victory, California, a community that appears to be the epitome of a company town. Alice develops an obsession with the nature of her husband's employment as the ideal society starts to show cracks. The theatrical release of Don't Worry Darling is on September 23.

John Edward Grenier
GRENIER John Edward Grenier, political leader, strategist, and visionary, as well as distinguished attorney, died on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, after a brief illness. His wife, Stella, and his son, Beau, were with him at his bedside when he passed away. John was born on August 24, 1930, in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he grew up. He was the son of Charles Desire Grenier, Jr., and Beatrice Schaumburg Grenier and had two older siblings, Rosemary and Ray. John attended Jesuit High School in New Orleans, where he lettered in track, baseball, and football. John received his undergraduate and law degree from Tulane University in 1953. He thereafter entered the United States Marine Corps, rising to the rank of Captain. John served his country in Korea as a pilot, flying over 100 patrols in Squadron VMF 312, known as The Checkerboard Squadron. Following an Honorable Discharge from the Marine Corps, John entered New York University, where he received an LLM degree in taxation. He practiced law briefly in New York City on Wall Street before moving to Birmingham to work with Southern Natural Gas Company. He subsequently joined the law firm of Bradley Arant Rose & White, where he became a partner and practiced corporate and tax law under the tutelage and mentorship of Lee C. Bradley, Jr. John later joined the firm formerly known as Lange, Simpson, Robinson & Somerville and was a partner there for over 35 years before his retirement at the end of 2004. John enjoyed an active and significant political career. He began his career as Chairman of the Jefferson County Young Republicans and organized a political rally in Birmingham in 1960 for Richard Nixon during the Nixon Kennedy campaign. He went on to organize the modern day Alabama Republican Party, becoming its State Chairman in 1962. John assisted in the close senatorial election between Republican Jim Martin and Democrat Lister Hill in 1962. Thereafter, he joined the Goldwater for President Campaign and organized the delegates that nominated Goldwater as a candidate at the Republican National Convention in San Francisco. He was the Southern Regional Director for the campaign when Goldwater swept many of the Southern states in his bid for President. Following the campaign, John was named the Executive Director of the Republican National Committee. He ran for the United States Senate in 1966 against John Sparkman, and while unsuccessful, he received the most votes any Alabama Republican candidate had theretofore received in history. In 1986, John was the campaign manager for Guy Hunt in his successful bid to become the first Republican Governor since Reconstruction. He served in the Hunt Administration as the Governor's Chief of Staff and later managed Governor Hunt's successful bid for reelection in 1990. John loved and enjoyed life to the fullest and had many outside interests. He was an avid tennis player, snow skier, and fox hunter. He was also self taught in four languages, French, German, Spanish, and Modern Greek. John is survived by his devoted wife of almost 20 years, Stella Kontos Grenier; his son, John Beaulieu Grenier (born to John's first wife, the former Lynne Youmans) and wife Joy; his sister, Rosemary Grenier Rivet; his four grandchildren, John Beaulieu Grenier, Jr., Dorothy Monnish Grenier, Evans Barlow Grenier, and Carolyn Youmans Grenier; and several nieces and nephews. A service will be held at St. Mary's On-the-Highlands Episcopal Church on Friday, November 9, 2007, beginning at 2:00 p.m, followed by a Graveside Service immediately there after at Elmwood Cemetery. The family will receive visitors at St Mary's on Friday from noon to 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to Children's Hospital, The Salvation Army, or St. Mary's On-the-Highlands Episcopal Church.

How do you know John Edward Grenier? (Optional)
Dear Beau=John,
I was saddened to hear of your loss.
John was a good friend to me for over half a Century; and one always ready, willing and able to lend a hand in a good cause. He was also among the most scintillating company I have ever lucked into.
Please give my love to your Mother.

We surely enjoyed foxhunting with John and have missed him the past few years. Our condolences to his family.

There was a nice write up in the Times Picayune [obituary section] about John. He was a lifelong friend of mine and we were in the same Deke pledge class at Tulane. He was one of the finest gentlemen that I have ever known.

I was very saddened to hear of Mr. Grenier's death. Though I didn't know him well he was always very kind to me. I used to keep his horse fit for him for foxhunting and he allowed me to compete on him as well. I am sure he will be missed greatly.

I was saddened to hear of John's death. A great lawyer and teacher who could be very kind as well as demanding. I loved the fact that his pen of choice was Bic rather than Mont Blanc! I will remember him with great fondness.

Check out my updated review of Luminar 2018 here!
Introducing Luminar – the latest addition to Macphun's lineup of photography applications.
Luminar is a unique all-in-one photo editor. It's interface embraces the fact each photographer's editing style is as unique as they are. Designed for creativity and convenience, Luminar allows users to choose from pre-built interface configurations that match their style and editing needs, or create their own. Custom settings can be switched with a single click. Luminar also has the ability to grow with a photographer as their skills improve. There are a multitude of stunning presets for the beginner, along with advanced controls for the seasoned photographer.
For a full feature list, visit the Luminar home page.
I'm one of the lucky few who has had the opportunity to work with the pre-release of Luminar! Please keep that in mind as you go through the screenshots below. Since I was using the pre-release a few things may change or look a little different once the software launches to the public.
I captured this photo back in April of 2010 in Trapani Sicily. This is a RAW image, captured with a Canon XSi and Sigma 18-200mm lens. As with most RAW photos, it is pretty flat – lacking in both contrast and color. The scene, as I remember it, was extremely vivid. The crystal clear water was a mesmerizing jewel-tone, and the gnarled fishing boat was accented with vibrant green, blue and orange. My goal is to make this photo reflect my vibrant memory. With that in mind, lets dive in and see what Luminar is capable of.
When I'm getting to know a new piece of software, I often start with the presets. They give me a quick overview of what a program is capable of. After scrolling through and testing a few options, I landed on the Auto Smart Enhancer preset. It enhanced the color in the water and the paint on the boat without adding so much detail as to make the overall image crunchy.
When a preset is applied in Luminar, all of the Filters that make up that preset are available in the panel on the right allowing the user to manually adjust individual aspects of the preset, if desired. The orange dot next to the Filter Header allows you to turn a filter on and off. I will often go through the options, turning them on and off one at a time to see how that filter affected the photo and then make adjustments as necessary.
In the Adjustable Gradient filter I cooled down the top (-30 warmth), added warmth (+5) to the bottom and changed the angle (rotation +10) and placement (shift 41) of the gradient. This enhanced the blue in the water and emphasized the rocks in the foreground. The one issue with this adjustment is that it made the whites in the boat a little too blue. I'll address this in the next step.
As I mentioned in the last section – while adjusting the gradient enhanced the water, it made the boat itself a little too cool (blue). To correct this I created a second layer and used the brush tool to apply an effect just to the boat.
While I was working on the boat, I decided that it could also use a boost to the detail.
On most of my photos I darken the edges just slightly by adding a Vignette. For this, I added a final layer (+New Layer – Adjustment Layer), added a filter (+Add Filter ->>Vignette) and set the Amount to -50.
Note: For those who aren't familiar with layers and masking – I added another layer so that the effect would apply to the entire image. If I had added the effect to my previous layer (the one where I locally adjusted the boat) the effect wouldn't be visible. On a masked layer where the brush is used, any effects/filters will only be visible where the effect was brushed in.
One of the great tools included in Luminar is noise reduction. If you've used Noiseless, also by Macphun, it will feel quite familiar. While it does result in some loss of detail – it does a great job of removing the color noise, especially from the areas where I lightened the shadows such as the reflection of the boat in the water.
The last step is to remove distractions – for me this means a couple of the lighter rocks in the foreground (light areas draw the eye) and to remove the buoy and rope from the front of the boat. Luminar's built in Eraser tool did a great job! The tool is quite similar to Snapheal – another app from Macphun.
As you can see, Luminar made a HUGE difference to this photo. Instead of flat and dull, this fishing boat anchored just off of Trapani looks a lot like the way it looked when I was there. Beautiful and vibrant.
If you aren't quite finished, you can easily jump to other applications such as Aurora HDR, other Macphun apps, Photoshop, Lightroom, and more (assuming you have them installed).
Each option listed above bakes your changes into the saved file of choice meaning that you will not be able to reopen Luminar and view/change your adjustments. However, if you'd like that option you can choose "Save As" in the File menu. This will allow you to save your photograph in Luminar's proprietary file format which will allow you go back and modify your Luminar edits if you so choose. Please note that this file format is NOT readable by Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with Luminar's performance! It has a wide range of options and tools for a variety of photographers allowing for both global and local adjustments. The workspaces concept is well executed and can be customized to fit anyone from beginner to pro to fit the unique needs of individual photographers.
Luminar would be a fantastic choice for the photographer who doesn't want to mess with Adobe products such as Lightroom or Photoshop. Luminar performs tasks such as layers, masking, cloning/erasing making a trip to Photoshop unnecessary for most people. Furthermore, Luminar is far more affordable than buying in to the Adobe infrastructure.
If you have any further questions about Luminar, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Enjoy Luminar!
I use a Mac. Without a good and useable photo management module Luminar is not competitive with Lightroom CC. Will this happen? When? I worry also about the nondestructive save not being readable in other programs.
cp dukes – Luminar definitely will not replace Lightroom…at least, not yet. I've been told that Macphun will possibly add a photo management aspect to Luminar in a future release. If that happens it could be a game changer for some. Especially those who don't want to be tied to Adobe's monthly subscriptions.
I do share your concern about the nondestructive files not being readable by Photoshop, etc. I really hope they move to a TIFF or PSD format with layers intact.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's Story Creator No Longer Allows XP Farming Quests
Jul 14, 2019 Seen Donovan 0 comments 715

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Tumblr
Assassin's Creed developers Ubisoft quietly introduced Story Creator Mode for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey during E3 last month. While the new game mode largely went unnoticed, it has been used to allow some players to exploit Story Creator Mode as an XP farming tool. Today, Ubisoft announced an end to the practice.
On Ubisoft's official forums, the team released a public statement forbidding the practice of XP farming for Story Creator Mode. The new terms of use for Odyssey will bar players from misusing the game mode and will sanction players who abuse the system, e.g., with suspensions and bans. Ubisoft also announced they were developing new mechanics to prevent XP farming quests from being published in the game.
While Ubisoft bans the practice of XP farming in Story Creator, they still sell XP boosters on their official in-game store. Effectively, the developer's position has become: XP boosing is okay when you buy it from us, but not when you try to do it on your own.
"These exploits risk jeopardizing the overall quality, integrity, and purpose of Story Creator Mode," Ubisoft said in their official statement. "We are working on fixes and adjustments to reduce the impact of such farming quests on the player experience."
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey was first released last year in October for Windows PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. (As well as for the Nintendo Switch, but only in Japan.) The latest update, the Story Creator Mode, was released almost as an afterthought from Ubisoft, who introduced it during their pre-show conference last month at E3. But the update has a lot to offer beyond the potential for XP farming.
The Story Creator Mode is pretty extensive. It allows players to design quests featuring any characters from within the game and to write their own dialogues for the questlines. So the possibilities for new gameplay are practically limitless. Those quests can then be shared with the greater Odyssey community.
How will Odyssey's players react to the new rules? It's up to the fans to decide if XP boosters are fair for developers to offer up as microtransaction content while simultaneously disallowing gamers to develop their own questlines to boost the leveling of their characters.
A better question might be this: how will Ubisoft's decision affect the game itself? Assassin's Creed: Odyssey players will have to wait to see how Ubisoft decides to define XP farming and how restrictive the new rules will be on creating quests in Story Creator Mode.

Q: Creating two types of user I'm very new to programming and I'm writing to ask for help for my application. I'm using android studio 2.3.
I'm trying to create an app where there are two types of users which is high committee and non-high committee. The difference between both types of users is that the high committee has an additional activity which the non-high committee doesn't have.
High committee able to: Login, View calendar, Add/Update event
Non-high committee able to: Login, View calendar
However, I don't know how to create a login activity that allows these types of users to login in the same login screen using username and password and how to make these users to have a different Homepage.
I'd really appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance.
I have this code here below:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);

    final EditText etUsername = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUsername);
    final EditText etPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
    final Button bLogin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLogin);

    bLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            final String username = etUsername.getText().toString();
            final String password = etPassword.getText().toString();

            // Response received from the server
            Response.Listener<String> responseListener = new Response.Listener<String>(){
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(response);
                        boolean success = jsonResponse.getBoolean("success");

                        if (success) {
                            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, HomeCalendar.class);
                            LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
                        } else {
                            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this);
                            builder.setMessage("Login Failed")
                                    .setNegativeButton("Retry", null)
                                    .create()
                                    .show();
                        }

                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            };

            LoginRequest loginRequest = new LoginRequest(username, password, responseListener);
            RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(LoginActivity.this);
            queue.add(loginRequest);
        }
    });

}
}

A: Send the usertype also, along with the server response and check the received usertype in your java code and then redirect to the corresponding home activity.
Below is a code sample. Please check it..
public void onResponse(String response) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(response);
                        boolean success = jsonResponse.getBoolean("success");
                        String user_type = jsonResponse.getString("user_type"); //get user_type from response

                        if (success) {
                            if(user_type.equals("high_committee")){ //check the type of user
                            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, HomeCommittee.class); //if user_type = committee, then redirect to Committee home activity
                            LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
                            }
                            else{
                            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, HomeNonCommittee.class); //if user_type != committee, then redirect to Committee home activity
                            LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
                            }
                        } else {
                            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this);
                            builder.setMessage("Login Failed")
                                    .setNegativeButton("Retry", null)
                                    .create()
                                    .show();
                        }

USGA to conduct "town hall" style meetings Feb. 2 | The Triangle
USGA to conduct "town hall" style meetings Feb. 2
By Kim Post
Photo Credit: USGA
The Drexel University Undergraduate Student Government Association met Jan. 27 to discuss a variety of campus initiatives — chief among them, a "town hall" style meeting with President John A. Fry to occur Feb. 2 and the potential addition of a new USGA position reserved for freshmen.
The student representatives, headed by Kevin Murray since Taylor Collins resigned from the presidency in October 2014, are continually working to get students to meet with University administrators. They hope to draw a crowd for a meeting with Fry, who will speak and answer questions in Room 106 of the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. Murray also pointed out the USGA marketing strategy, centered on Facebook and email. A major aim this quarter is to quadruple the "likes" on the USGA Facebook page.
Other upcoming student-administration events include a talk with Close School of Entrepreneurship Dean Donna DeCarolis at 6 p.m. Feb. 3 in Suite 369 of Gerri C. LeBow Hall and a networking event for student organization members Feb. 19; the latter is also to feature Fry.
Including freshmen among those specifically represented in the government proved more controversial. Excluding officers, USGA positions are restricted to particular academic affairs (e.g., the College of Engineering) or student life topics (e.g., student organizations, Greek life); the suggestion has been made that freshmen should have a dedicated representative due to their unique experiences at Drexel.
Murray spoke in favor of the change, saying "it would be appropriate to have representation" for this sizable population, but opponents questioned the necessity of expanding the USGA to 29 members. One point of contention is the election procedure, since a freshman elected in spring term (as with other representatives) might not serve in summer and thus would not take office until sophomore year.
In any case, the proposal has found some support, as Murray relayed that volunteers for the position approached Fry during his public office hours. The chair announced a vote will be taken at the next meeting.

Less politically, several matters relating to the Recreation Center came up. Students have complained that filters for water bottle refilling station can take up to three weeks beyond their expiration to replace, there are too few lockers to store things in while exercising, and it is not possible to know when the exercise area is at capacity.
For the last problem, USGA intends to have cameras installed that will put an image of the exercise room on the Internet every few minutes; the Office of Information Resources and Technology has confirmed the feasibility. Murray said the Drexel legal department offered no objections, as the cameras are to be no more intrusive than video monitoring, which students already consent to when using the Rec Center.
USGA efforts on shuttle bus schedules had mixed results; the University has confirmed that provision of weekend shuttles to Center City is impossible due to current labor union agreements, but a potential extension of the West Philadelphia route's hours is still in the cards. Real-time delivery of shuttle locations and estimated arrival times to a website or mobile app, as done by many transit agencies, is reportedly impossible using the bus' built-in GPS devices, but USGA might push for drivers to use smart phones to semi-automatically update their location.
The next meeting will occur Feb. 18 at 6 p.m., with the USGA office in the basement of the Creese Student Center as a rallying point. The meetings are open to the public.

National Archives, Washington D.C.
Murdock is listed as a drummer in the Colonel's Company January 1779. He probably enlisted in November or December 1778 and then was mustered on January 1, 1779. In January 1781, Murdock alias Burdie or Burdock Campbell shows up as a private in Captain James Gregg's Company in the First New York. Usually a drummer or fifer is under the age of 16, and when he turns 16 he is made a private so he can carry a musket and fight.

The third biggest bank in Tennessee expanded its presence in the Chattanooga market over the weekend, closing on its second acquisition of a rival bank in less than four years.
FirstBank, which opened a branch in Chattanooga in 2008 and bought the former Northwest Georgia Bank in 2015,completed its previously announced purchase of the Atlantic Capital Bank branches in East Tennessee and Northwest Georgia on Friday. Ten of the former Atlantic Capital branches reopened Monday as new offices of FirstBank, one of the fastest growing banks in Tennessee which is headquartered in Nashville.
The purchase will add $598 million in deposits and $385 million in loans for FirstBank, which already had about 5.7 billion in assets at the and of 2018.
But FirstBank is shutting down four local branches previously operated by Atlantic Capital on Gunbarrel Road in East Brainerd, on Highway 153 in Hixson, on Lee Highway in Ooltewah and in Warehouse Row downtown.
"Where FirstBank and Atlantic Capital Bank had overlapping branches, we consolidated those into the most convenient location for our combined customers," FirstBank spokeswoman Jeanie Rittenberry said.
FB Financial Corp., the parent company of FirstBank, paid about $34.3 million to acquire the Tennessee and North Georgia branches of the Atlanta-based Atlantic Capital Bank. The purchase price paid by FirstBank was only a fraction of the $160 million that Atlantic Capital paid the former FSG Bank to acquire the same bank branches from the former FSG Bank in the fall of 2015.
Atlantic Capital later sold its trust business last year to a company organized by former FSG President Mike Kramer, who had negotiated the sale of FSG to Atlantic Capital after reviving the Chattanooga bank and raising new capital for its turnaround.
Douglas L. Williams, president and CEO of Atlantic Capital, said the sale of the bank branches to FirstBank provides employees of its Chattanooga, Knoxville and Dalton offices "a high-quality institution with an established presence in these markets" and will allow Atlantic Capital to refocus on its commercial banking operations in Atlanta.
"We have decided to pursue a strategy focused on our commercial banking opportunities in Atlanta and our other national commercial lines of business," Williams said last fall when it announced the sale of the branches to FirstBank.
The sale was completed Friday and FirstBank put up all of its signs on its new branches over the weekend.
Combined with its $284.2 million purchase in 2017 of the Clayton Bank and Trust and American City Bank in Knoxville, FirstBank now operates 66 branches and is now the fifth biggest bank in Chattanooga and the sixth biggest bank in Knoxville, based on Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation data as of June 30, 2018.
FirstBank is headed in Chattanooga by market president Jim McKenzie and in North Georgia by Rick Partain.


Here is the first taste of Adult Lullabies!
This new EP comes out on February 19, one year exactly since the release of The Forgettable Truth.
Save some dough and pre-order it now.
Some very exciting news is that Forward Music Group will be releasing an EP of new MF music this winter. The 5 featured songs were recorded during the same sessions as The Forgettable Truth. It's a really strange and great collection of songs, and I'm very proud of it. A sort of a simple yet philosophical theme runs though it: asking how to balance a love for humanity with your own apparently inevitable tendency toward self-indulgence. Fun! Images and advance tracks coming soon.
Speaking of Singer Songer – here is a new video for the Devon Sproule sung song from that record. It was put together by What If Productions, for the 48 hour film challenge put forth by KIAC/Yukon Film Society in Whitehorse, YT. I am grateful. Enjoy!
Between the various performances with my band since the record came out, here's what I've been up to in my "spare time".
One of the things I've been working on the most this year is a beautiful record by singer songwriter Camille Delean. We met at one of my shows just over a year ago. We chatted about recording and making music, and it was't long before she asked if I'd be available to help work on some of her songs with her. She did the basic tracks in London with the incredible multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Walker (Check out http://josienneclarke.co.uk). Afterward, she brought the tracks home to Montreal and we've been adding more vocals, guitar, steel guitar, keys (courtesy of Mathieu Charbonneau) and violin (by Josh Zubot). We are finishing up the mix now. I am very proud of this record, which I loosely describe as Twin Peaks meets Astral Weeks. Bold claims I know, but trust me it's good.
October saw me traipsing around Europe playing guitar for the one and only Paper Beat Scissors, supporting his newest release Go On. It was really fun to play guitar in this amazing line-up featuring Tim Crabtree (brains of the operation), Gregory Burton (check out the ruling Bantam Wing), Tessa Kautzman (also a Bantam Winger) and Alex Thibault. Great musicians and travel-mates all around. So many sausages and so many hours logged. Special mention goes to our tour mom Thomas Lechner who has always been and always will be one of the greats.
This long-silent band has been very slowly making some noise again. We retreated together in the summer for a big improvised recording session, where we recorded countless hours of material. Much of it is good, and we are currently going through everything to see what what is worth working on to eventually share. Slow as always, and not so steady, but I assure you we are making something.
We have a new record in the works. It's exciting for me, because after much touring and involvement with the band is my first Luyas record as an actual member. We recorded in November, and it's now being mixed by the amazing Jace Lasek who also recorded and produced the sessions. I suspect we'll have some news about our plans in the coming months. All I know is that we're making a rad record.
My friend Will Samson finally released his lovely record Ground Luminosity on Talitres Records. I had the pleasure of collaborating remotely on this beautiful record. We met having shared shows here and there on tour in Europe, and he invited me to contribute some of my vocals and pedal steel to his recordings. Congratulations to Will! Have a listen!
A big thanks to Said the Gramophone who included my "Clackity Clack" in their favourite songs of 2015.
One Chord to Another listed "I Wanted More" on their list of the top 20 songs for the year.
The Globe & Mail featured The Forgettable Truth among their Our Favourite Things feature form 2015.
…and 5kHz included the record on their list too! I feel like a prom queen.
Have a great mellow holiday season, whatever that means to you.
It really has been a long time. All that really means is that I've been busy making stuff and having a good time. Frankly, I had better things to do than write updates. Still true, but here I am anyway.
June saw me doing some solo shows in the midwest US (huge thanks to the incomparable JE Sunde and my excellent pals in Maritime), and then at the amazing Tiny Lights festival in Ymir BC, where my inner hippie ran wild. From there, I travelled to Saskatoon (don't ask about the logistics) and met up with my band: Jeremy Gara, Pietro Amato and Tim Crabtree. We had a bit of rehearsal (special ups to Tyson Brookes McShane of Slow Down Molasses fame) and then rocked the beautiful church for MoSoFest. Tim (aka Paper Beat Scissors) did a jaw dropping performance that same night with special arrangements of his own music for a chamber ensemble. True magic.
From there, we ventured west and sang and played for whomever would have us (big thanks to Find the Others), eventually ending up in Calgary for two shows at Sled Island, which which was a nice closer. Plus, I got to see Television and Drive Like Jehu – each as unlikely as the other.
After MF band tour, I went into hiding with my homies from Bell Orchestre. We went into the woods of Vermont, and made hours and hours (and hours) of improvized music, to the end of eventually making sense of it in order to create something to offer for the people. It's been a long silence, and it's become time to make some noise.
From there, it was straight to Atlin Arts and Music Festival, in the very north of BC. Aside from having the opportunity to make music for an amazing crowd, I got to ride in a helicopter to the foot of a glacier. Glacier Love, indeed.
I was joined for my sets by the dream team of Micah Smith, Jordy Walker and Devon Sproule. We also had our new friends Anna & Elizabeth join us as the chorus for 'Birds and Bees'. Such a treat.
Jordy, Micah and myself also served as the band for Devon's sets, which was a real highlight for me in my musical life, as it's no secret I've been a fan of Devon and her music for a long time. Immediately following the festival, our group retreated to a little riverside hut in Whitehorse (thanks to Yukon Film Society) to workshop and lay down tracks toward some of Devon's incredible new songs.
I returned home, and then had a holiday before SappyFest X, which was it's usual wicked weekend-long birthday party. I got to play with my East coast crew, of Nick Cobham, Kyle Cunjak and Mike Belyea. Also got to witness unbelievable sets by Adrian Teacher & the Subs, Frog Eyes and Les Hay Babies – just the tip of the iceberg from a mind-blowing weekend of music and friends.
I'll send updates as stuff happens.
Here are the links to all the stuff we've been talking about.
You can see video of us preforming on Q HERE.
You can hear all the songs and the interview HERE.
Here is a link to the video that the amazing Mylene Simard made for Lamplight from the new record.
And finally – new dates have been added! I'm very pleased to announce that I'll do solo shows in Quebec supporting Patrick Watson and in Toronto supporting Great Lake Swimmers.
Well the record is out and there has been a really heartwarming response to it so far. Particularly, this Globe & Mail article by Sean Michaels and the response to it have left me reeling.
I am also home from an amazing European tour which brought me to numerous places, new and familiar. I was honoured to share the stage with my new Dutch comrades The Fire Harvest, whose kindness, generosity and musicianship were at the top of the scale.
For now, I'll rest a bit, but just a little bit. There is much much much more action to come.
Don't forget to grab the record from Forward Music and keep your eye on the shows page, because sooner or later, I'm coming to you!
My good friend Ian Roy made this lyric video for 'Clackity Clack' from The Forgettable Truth, due out on February 17 from Forward Music Group. Enjoy!
New tour dates are up too!
Album plans are well under way. In fact, Stereogum has premiered one of the songs from The Forgettable Truth, along with some very kind words. Listen and read HERE.
Some of the new material was just debuted this past weekend at the Passovah showcase at M for Montreal. It was a pleasure to finally render some of these new tunes live with a full band, closely replicating the album arrangements. Stay tuned for more of that in March, after the album's release FEB 17.
Finally finally finally, I can share with you the video that we made for Scorekeeper, from my Tambourine Death Bed album [buy it here, if you are so inclined]. Huge thanks go out to Scott Da Ros and AJ Korkidakis who conceived it and were largely responsible for making it happen. So many great people contributed to it, and I'm very grateful. Enjoy!
I write you now from Halifax, where I am on tour with the amazing Thus Owls. We have had a really great time, finding the perfect balance between work and play – all the while surrounding ourselves with wonderful and generous folks. That same bill will have more shows coming up soon in Ontario and Quebec, so stay tuned.

Quincy Jones Not Done with VIBE | Village Voice
Quincy Jones Not Done with VIBE
Now the news comes that Quincy Jones is thinking of "saving" VIBE. "I'm trying to buy my magazine back now," Jones told EbonyJet.com yesterday. "They just messed my magazine all up, but I'm gonna get it back. You better believe it, I'm'a take it online because print and all that stuff is over." This could mean a lot of things. The 76-year-old Jones certainly seems to have an accurate picture of the current media landscape. "We gotta get into the 21st century you know," Jones says, later in that same piece. "Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald. They're over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century."
But anyone who's seen Rap Radar, the web venture run by former XXL EIC/ego trip veteran Elliott Wilson (and the odds-on favorite for the next job of now-former VIBE EIC Danyel Smith, Wilson's wife), knows that a rap blog is different animal from a rap mag–as it's done now, RR works from Nah Right's template, not XXL's. Rap Radar might be a cut above much of the rap blog armada VIBE recently memorialized in their (already infamous) 50 Hottest Blogs list; but those blogs are also their peers and their reality now. Would an online VIBE be the publication we knew it as? Who knows.
Elsewhere, at the Root, Todd Boyd writes perhaps the best piece so far on the legacy and cultural significance of the magazine and its 14-year run, though we'll refrain from co-signing the obligatory, knee-jerk shots at the more recent VIBE era (which, disclosure, I was very occasionally part of, and which, further disclosure, was in part supervised by a great friend of mine, so there you go)–they worked with what they had, and until they folded yesterday, there was still no better place to read about rap and hip-hop culture in general, period:
always saw hip-hop as an expansive lifestyle brand, and the magazine went about promoting the culture in the broadest sense possible, documenting hip-hop's journey to the center of the pop-cultural universe. The magazine, in many ways, helped to make the argument that hip-hop was a comprehensive culture that transcended the music.
featured stories on figures from the worlds of film, television, fashion, sports, politics and beyond, all from a hip-hop perspective. At its best, the magazine could, like Public Enemy, "reach the bourgeois and rock the boulevard."
To this end, the magazine found itself first reporting on and then being firmly mired in one of the biggest stories in the history of hip-hop, the East Coast/West Coast beef that would eventually claim the lives of the culture's two most celebrated figures, Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. There was the Kevin Powell cover story where 'Pac famously, though prematurely said "thug life is dead;" another red-tinged cover touting "The New and Untouchable Death Row Records" and the classic photo of B.I.G. posed as the "rap Alfred Hitchcock," among other such prose and portraits during hip-hop's most tumultuous era. Many at the time accused Vibe of fanning the flames of this unfortunate rivalry. Some even suggested that Vibe had blood on its hands after the two murders went down.
In hindsight though, Vibe's place as a nexus in this bi-coastal war cemented the magazine's status as a relevant chronicle of hip-hop's rapidly expanding evolution from sub-cultural status to mass cultural behemoth. Vibe, like the Washington Post during Watergate, no longer simply reported on the story; the magazine had at this point become an integral part of the very story that it was supposed to be reporting on. While some more traditionally minded journalists might disparage such things, there is perhaps not more of a ringing endorsement about cultural relevance that a publication can have than to be both an observer and a participant at the same time. In this way, Vibe was like hip-hop itself, constantly moving between first-person and third-person narration, while recognizing that the provocative power of words and images ultimately lie in the presentation.

The trailer of Kangana Ranaut's much-talked about movie Simran has finally been unveiled by the makers of the film. In Simran, Kangana Ranaut will be seen portraying the role of Praful Patel, a Gujarati woman who lives in New York and is a divorcee. The two-and-a-half minute trailer takes us through the various phases of Praful's life and shows that she is a shoplifter and addicted to gambling. However, she knows how to live her life to the fullest and confidently tries to woo men with her cheesy one-liners. "Boyfriend hona koi character flaw thodi hai. Ladke patana toh talent hota hai," she tells her prospective man. At the end of the trailer, Praful is seen on a robbery spree with cops chasing her. The guy she is in love with leaves her but yet she's smiling.
Simran has been directed by Hansal Mehta and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Shailesh R Singh.
Simran also features Soham Shah, Esha Tewari Pande, Manu Narayan, Aneesha Joshi and Rupinder Nagra in pivotal roles. The film has been extensively shot in the United States.
Simran will release in theatres on September 15.
After Simran, Kangana Ranuat will feature in Manikarnika: Rani of Jhansi, which is a biopic on Rani Laxmibai. She will also soon be making her debut as a producer and director with an English language short film The Touch.

Humboldt State Rallies in Support of DACA
September 6, 2017 October 9, 2017 Angel Mayorga	DACA Rally, HSU DACA, Humboldt Rally, Humboldt State DACA, Humboldt State Rally, Humboldt State Student Rally, Student Rally, Support of DACA
Anayeli Auza, peer mentor for the Scholars Without Borders center and math major at HSU, was a year old when she arrived in the United States. Her parents came to the U.S. two weeks later. California has been her home ever since but the Trump Administration is trying to change that.
On Tuesday morning, the Trump Administration officially announced the phase out of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. They will no longer be accepting new applicants and will only give current applicants one more renewal as long as their current DACA permit expires before March 5.
"I won't be able to renew mine because I just renewed mine on January of 2017 and mine expires in two years," Auza said.
The resignation of DACA also means that the nearly 800,000 undocumented students and job holders will not be able to come back into the U.S. if they choose to travel to Mexico or go abroad.
"I was planning to go out of the country just because my grandma has been very sick and it has been 10 years that I haven't seen her," Auza said.
HSU's Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlan (MEChA) responded to the news with an emergency rally at the UC Quad at noon on Sept. 6.
"First and foremost it's [the rally] to stand in solidarity and to show the students who are under DACA that we are here for them. It's also for awareness, I am sure there is people who don't know what is going on because it just doesn't affect them," Tania Cubas said, secretary of MEChA and main organizer of the rally.
Co-chair of MEChA Nathaniel McGuigan said, "I believe that a decent amount of people are aware of DACA, at least those within the POC community. People around the country are rising up in protest against Trump rescinding it. I believe there is a movement behind DACA in terms of protection. That movement can be carried out here."
McGuigan is right when he says that there is a country-wide movement behind DACA. This weekend Microsoft, Apple, Google and various other tech companies decide to speak out against Trump's decision to resign DACA. But McGuigan thinks this issue is even more relevant than that.
"I know people who might be affected by this. However, I also believe this is a human rights issue. As human beings we have always reserved the right to migration. In terms of migration a lot of it has been caused by global climate crises, the toppling of socialist governments […] which lead to increased numbers of refugees across the world. It is definitely a huge issue that we can relate too because everyone is affected," McGuigan said.
While there is fear and uncertainty for the future, the Trump Administration stated that they are trying to soften the blow by rescinding this program over the next six months. According to them, DACA will not be completely erased until 2020 but they are also handing over the issue to Congress.
This gives the DACA movement some more time with aspirations that senators and Congress members will see a better light.
"As long as we keep organizing and fighting and making noise I think it can pull through. My hopes are always high for better outcomes but I feel that not much will be done unless we make our presence very noticable, put pressure on the Administration put pressure on the CSU system and also the UC system," Cubas said.
Auza also expressed feelings of hope and strength, "It not only affects each person but it also affects a lot of corporations. As long as we have people in power who support us, we have the voice of each individual and gather together […] we can put pressure on the Trump Administration. Even some Republicans are against ending it. If we all stand together and go out protest and sign petitions we will be able to make a difference."

Una religione si definisce rivelata, quando essa afferma di fondarsi, in tutto o in parte, sulla comunicazione di conoscenze dalla propria divinità agli uomini. Tali conoscenze vanno col nome di verità rivelate.

Tra le religioni rivelate vi sono l'Ebraismo, il Cristianesimo e l'Islam; le verità rivelate di cui esse sono depositarie costituiscono i loro testi sacri: rispettivamente la Bibbia ebraica, la Bibbia cristiana ed il Corano.

The Sharan Project
Jessie Boucherett receives special recognition for her contribution to women's suffrage
Our founder, Jessie Boucherett, has received special recognition in a project to identify and celebrate the lives of previously hidden women and supportive men who were active in the campaign for votes, leading to the Representation of the People Act 1918, and who used the extended rights to citizenship in a positive way locally.
As Jessie died in 1905 she was unable to join the "Top 100" list of women and men who continued their activism after the vote was won. But the judges added 20 names for special recognition by women who died before 1918 but who had nonetheless made a particular contribution to women's suffrage. Jessie Boucherett appears in this list.

In 2008, Andrew and Shauna Smith embarked on a culinary adventure opening their first restaurant, a bakery & café franchise famous for European breads, homemade sandwiches, fresh soups and salads, and gourmet pastries– all made to order—in Lehi, Utah. For many years, Kneaders Bakery and Café had been a popular restaurant in Utah County, where the Smiths lived, but it had yet to grow beyond that area. As Andrew and Shauna opened their first location, they began to develop big plans to grow this Utah Valley staple to new levels.
The founding of Four Foods
Drawing from a successful background in technology, marketing, sales, and finance, Andrew challenged himself to figure out a better way to develop a multi-unit restaurant chain company with efficiencies that would ensure profits. As operators of the business, there was a need for assistance in the everyday, administrative tasks met with operational expertise. For Shauna, necessity was the mother of invention. As Andrew and Shauna operated their first restaurant, they developed an innovative model that would benefit multiple units and brands at a time, its shareholders and investors, and their operating team as well.
In 2009, Andrew and Shauna set out to execute the Four Foods Group model which began with an exclusive multi-state development agreement between Four Foods Group and GCW Corporation, parent company to Kneaders Bakery & Café. In 2015, an additional 15 states west of the Mississippi were granted to Four Foods Group to develop new Kneaders Bakery & Cafe restaurants. By 2018, Four Foods Group built, opened, owned and operated 50 Kneaders Bakery & Cafes. In 2017, the Smith's ventured into a new brand with Little Caesars through an acquisition of 48 existing stores in the Southeast. Over the following 12 months, they bought and operated over 72 stores in the area and became one of the largest Little Caesars franchisees in the nation.
Kneaders & Little Caesars are a proud part of the Four Foods Group history. Both brands have since been sold in 2018 (Kneaders) and at the end of 2019 (Little Caesars).
