Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood Series : Titles in Order
After Dead
Find out what happened after the conclusion of the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series.
Dead Ever After marked the end of the Sookie Stackhouse series—novels that garnered millions of fans and spawned the hit HBO television show True Blood. It also stoked a hunger that will never die…a hunger to know what happened next.
With characters arranged alphabetically—from the Ancient Pythoness to Bethany Zanelli—bestselling author Charlaine Harris takes fans into the future of their favorite residents of Bon Temps and environs. You'll learn how Michele and Jason's marriage fared, what happened to Sookie's cousin Hunter, and whether Tara and JB's twins grew up to be solid citizens.
This coda provides the answers to your lingering questions—including details of Sookie's own happily-ever-after…
Dead Ever After
THE FINAL NOVEL IN THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SOOKIE STACKHOUSE SERIES!
When a shocking murder rocks the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, psychic cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse learns that she has more than one enemy waiting to get vengeance for the past.

Deadlocked
In the penultimate novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Sookie Stackhouse must work with her first love to clear her current undead flame of murder…
Felipe de Castro, the vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric Northman's front yard—especially the body of a woman whose blood he just drank. Now it's up to Sookie and Bill Compton, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who has set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down.
Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, psychic Sookie Stackhouse learns that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his "child" Pam are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot—which is much more complicated than she knows…
Dead in the Family
In the tenth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Sookie Stackhouse learns that not even her psychic abilities can help her solve all the problems in Bon Temps, Louisiana…
After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Fae War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's mad. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new vampire king because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the shifters' coming-out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to one particular Were draws her into the dangerous debate. Also, unknown to her, though the doors to Faery have been closed, there are still some fae on the human side—and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry.
In the ninth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series, the werewolves and shifters come out of the closet and throw the small town of Bon Temps into a tailspin…
Except for cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps, Louisiana, knew little about vamps—and nothing about Weres. Until now. The Weres and shifters have finally revealed their existence to the ordinary world, and the backlash may have claimed the life of someone Sookie knew. But her determination to find out who is responsible for the murder is put aside in the face of a far greater danger. A race of unhuman beings—older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves—is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an all-too-human pawn in their battle…
From Dead to Worse

Since Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has so few living relatives, she hates to lose one—even her cousin Hadley, undead consort of the vampire queen of New Orleans. Hadley's left everything she had to Sookie, but claiming that inheritance has a high risk factor. Some people don't want her looking too deeply into Hadley's past or Hadley's possessions.

Then along comes Bill Compton. He's tall, dark, handsome—and Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting for all her life…
But Bill has a disability of his own: he's a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps—along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill—Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.

City Electric Supply is a family-owned electrical wholesale distributor dedicated to providing the best customer service in the United States since 1983.
The thing many business owners don't realize is that their business' contact information exists in hundreds of places. Services like Google Maps and Yahoo, along with hundreds more, scrape public data and compare against other information sources like social media to populate your location information. No one knows your business information better than you, so why leave that in the hands of a machine?
City Electric Supply operates more than 460 branches in the U.S. with 20 to 25 new branches opening annually. Hundreds of online listings for hundreds of branches created thousands of inaccuracies in the City Electric Supply local data.
Read: NAP – name, address, phone number. Search engines care about this information being both present and accurate across many sources.
Discrepancies in the presence, accuracy, and consistency of CES's information on local business listings (such as Google Maps, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) were confusing customers and hurting search rankings. They needed a way to streamline their listings across all platforms to ensure both existence and accuracy.
Eighty Three Creative developed and managed a strategic partnership with Yext to help build local brand awareness, drive more traffic, and turn mobile searchers into local buyers. Yext offers services that help businesses manage their digital information (like locations, business hours, and contact info) and sync it to over 100 services.

Brutality, Police
Police officers accused of brutal violence often have a history of complaints by citizens
June 1, 2020 MuniCourts
Jill McCorkel, Villanova University
As protests against police violence and racism continue in cities throughout the U.S., the public is learning that several of the officers involved in the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Louisville share a history of complaints by citizens of brutality or misconduct.
Decades of research on police shootings and brutality reveal that officers with a history of shooting civilians, for example, are much more likely to do so in the future compared to other officers.

A similar pattern holds for misconduct complaints. Officers who are the subject of previous civilian complaints – regardless of whether those complaints are for excessive force, verbal abuse or unlawful searches – pose a higher risk of engaging in serious misconduct in the future.
A study published in the American Economic Journal reviewed 50,000 allegations of officer misconduct in Chicago and found that officers with extensive complaint histories were disproportionately more likely to be named subjects in civil rights lawsuits with extensive claims and large settlement payouts.
In spite of this research, many law enforcement agencies not only fail to adequately investigate misconduct allegations, they rarely sustain citizen complaints. Disciplinary sanctions are few and reserved for the most egregious cases.
Protesters went to the home of the Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, who is now charged with George Floyd's death.
Complaints, lawsuits – but few consequences
Derek Chauvin, the ex-officer who has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for killing Floyd, is no stranger to situations in which deadly force has been deployed.
During a 2006 roadside stop, Chauvin was among six officers who, in just four seconds, fired 43 rounds into a truck driven by a man wanted for questioning in a domestic assault. The man, Wayne Reyes, who police said aimed a sawed-off shotgun at them, died at the scene. The police department never acknowledged which officers had fired their guns and a grand jury convened by prosecutors did not indict any of the officers.
Chauvin is also the subject of at least 18 separate misconduct complaints and was involved in two additional shooting incidents. According to The Associated Press, 16 of the complaints were "closed with no discipline" and two letters of reprimand were issued for Chauvin related to the other cases.
Tou Thao, one of three Minneapolis officers at the scene as Floyd pleaded for his life, is named in a 2017 civil rights lawsuit against the department. Lamar Ferguson, the plaintiff, said he was walking home with his pregnant girlfriend when Thao and another officer stopped him without cause, handcuffed him and proceeded to kick, punch and knee him with such force that his teeth shattered.
The case was settled by the city for US$25,000, with the officers and the city declaring no liability, but it is not known if Thao was disciplined by the department.
In Louisville, Kentucky, at least three of the officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor while serving a no-knock warrant at her home – allowing them to use a battering ram to open her door – had previously been sanctioned for violating department policies.
One of the officers, Brett Hankison, is the subject of an ongoing lawsuit alleging, according to news reports, harassing suspects and planting drugs on them. He has denied the charges in a response to the lawsuit.
Another officer in the Taylor case, Myles Cosgrove, was sued for excessive force in 2006 by a man whom he shot seven times in the course of a routine traffic stop. The judge dismissed the case. Cosgrove had been put on paid administrative leave as his role in the shooting was investigated by his department, and returned to the department after the investigation closed.
Protesters took to the street the day after a grand jury declined to indict Cleveland Police Officer Timothy Loehmann for the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in November 2014. Angelo Merendino/Getty Images
Patterns of misconduct and abuse
I am a scholar of law and the criminal justice system. In my work on wrongful conviction cases in Philadelphia, I regularly encounter patterns of police misconduct including witness intimidation, evidence tampering and coercion. It is often the same officers engaging in the same kinds of misconduct and abuse across multiple cases.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that across the nation fewer than one in 12 complaints of police misconduct result in any kind of disciplinary action.
And then there is the problem of "gypsy cops" – a derogatory ethnic slur used in law enforcement circles to refer to officers who are fired for serious misconduct from one department only to be rehired by another one.
Timothy Loehmann, the Cleveland officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, resigned before he was fired from his previous department after they deemed him unfit to serve. A grand jury did not indict Loehmann for the killing, but he was fired by the Cleveland Division of Police after they found he had not disclosed the reason for leaving his previous job.
In the largest study of police hiring, researchers concluded that rehired officers, who make up roughly 3% of the police force, present a serious threat to communities because of their propensity to re-offend, if they had engaged in misconduct before.
These officers, wrote the study's authors, "are more likely … to be fired from their next job or to receive a complaint for a 'moral character violation.'"
The Newark model
The Obama administration's Task Force on 21st Century Policing recommended the creation of a national database to identify officers whose law enforcement licenses were revoked due to misconduct. The database that currently exists, the National Decertification Index, is limited, given state level variation in reporting requirements and decertification processes.
Analysts agree that this is a useful step, but it does not address underlying organizational and institutional sources of violence, discrimination and misconduct.
For example, in the aftermath of the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, the Department of Justice found that the department had a lengthy history of excessive force, unconstitutional stop and searches, racial discrimination and racial bias.
The report noted that the use of force was often punitive and retaliatory and that "the overwhelming majority of force – almost 90% – is used against African Americans."
One promising solution might be the creation of independent civilian review boards that are able to conduct their own investigations and impose disciplinary measures.
In Newark, New Jersey, the board can issue subpoenas, hold hearings and investigate misconduct.
Research at the national level suggests that jurisdictions with citizen review boards uphold more excessive force complaints than jurisdictions that rely on internal mechanisms.
But historically, the work of civilian review boards has been undercut by limitations on resources and authority. Promising models, including the one in Newark, are frequently the target of lawsuits and harassment by police unions, who say that such boards undermine the police department's internal disciplinary procedures.
In the case of civilian review board in the Newark, the board largely prevailed in the aftermath of the police union lawsuit. The court ruling restored the board's ability to investigate police misconduct – but it made the board's disciplinary recommendations nonbinding.

While she may not remember numbers, she does remember names—one in particular.
John is a solid gray domestic shorthair cat Jennifer nursed back to health from an upper respiratory infection. He then underwent surgery for a malformed eyelid and remained in her care. Once healthy, John immediately hit it off with Jennifer and her husband Brian's four cats and two dogs, who range in age from six months to 12 years. When John himself turned six months old, he started "parenting" incoming foster kittens—some of whom were only days or weeks old. He groomed them, comforted them and doted on them with large doses of TLC. The needy child, in essence, became a nurturing parent.
Now known as "Papa John" to ASPCA staff, John is sometimes so attentive that Jennifer separates him from the kittens just to give them a break. He nests with each new flock of fosters inside a cozy cardboard box, set inside a large heated crate stuffed with towels.
Jennifer says she's never come across an animal as nurturing and accepting of other animals as John. And that love extends to humans as well.
Maybe John realizes that foster parents need love, too.
Foster caregivers provide animals not yet ready for adoption a chance to live and be loved. They also improve the lives of shelter animals by opening up cage or kennel space for other animals, and increasing the opportunities for individualized attention to animals with special needs. Whether helping an injured dog or cat recover from illness or injury or raising a litter of newborn kittens, fostering can change an animal's life and also be hugely rewarding for caregivers. Learn more about the ASPCA's Foster programs in New York and Los Angeles.

From Seoul to College: Summer 2017

From Seoul to College
I sit out on the ledge outside of my window, and breathe in the sweet humid air. The house is always kept so cold, and often I prefer to feel the warm air against my skin at night. Nights like this, where it would begin to pour, and never stop were always the most romantic to me. The yellow street lights would flicker on and off as the rain steadily increased. Pools of water would form where drains didn't exist, and the pavement would shine and glitter into an array of neon colors. Out in Itaewon, distant spotlights would shine back and forth into the sky, illuminating the mesh of deep purple clouds overhead. Cars and motorcycles sped past, breaking the ever steady beat that follows on. I grabbed my earbuds, and listened to music, something melodic matching the rain. Nights like this never last long. Though the mosquito bites that I am gifted with afterwards last much longer.
However, this time will be the last time that I sit in this house and live here for what will seem a lifetime. It's been a long time since I have travelled back to college, but after my semester abroad in Vietnam it's as if I am brandished a new person with a more focused goal in life than I had ever had before. In previous years at MICA I had been trying to match what my peers were doing, laughing about how much I loved economics and debating. But in reality I now know that I was never a pure defined artist; I was a mix of logic and creativity, and a part of me every day at MICA hungered for any form of analytical thought. In a sense, I was excited to come back to MICA to focus on what I wanted to do as part of my career, but nervous to confront all the people that would try to drain the hopeful determination I had gained abroad.
As I was ready to move, and all of our possessions rolled away in big trucks, people would tell us how lucky we were to go 'home'. I would force a smile on my face, claim how much I'm looking forward to going back and finishing school. Smile through my teeth. It's hard to be excited moving from Seoul to Baltimore.
So thus as the rain falls this late August day, it's hard to admit to myself that a whole summer has past, and now I am sitting in Baltimore getting ready for college. It is a sickly sweet nostalgic feeling.
Meandering through streets where I am just another person of millions, stepping over puddles as a couple across the way hold each other tenderly. Hearing the beat of the speakers of make-up stores recruiting customers. Smelling the distant sweet scent of baked bread and coffee. I smile to myself and sink into the hopeful optimism again, assuring myself that I must remain determined and retain what I had learned through the past half year. Seoul will always remind me of that.

Watching this I kinda thought it would be just Thunderbirds underwater but these shows are pretty imaginative for the time. Pretty much anything by APF around the 60's was creative in there own way with the puppets too.
This starts with WASP the World Aquanaut Security Patrol investigating a why a submarine was destroyed. They take Stingray, an experimental submarine WASP made to check it out.
The people who pilot Stingray get kidnapped by some underwater people and then they stand for some weird trial. After that the pilots get saved by this mute girl Marina and they add her to the WASP team.
I also heard what Stingray had that Thunderbirds didn't was character development and that kinda interested me. Making you feel for these characters that might not be as wooden as Pinocchio sounds good. Even the South Park people used this kind of animation for Team America: World Police and it was amazing. This show is also on the Shout Factory TV Roku app and maybe online if you can find it, as well as DVD's too. The show for the underwater scenes looks like it was done in a fish tank but I think that was the beauty of these shows. Since some shows in the 1960's taught you that you didn't need a big budget for a show. As long as you have some good writing and good visuals.


China's import of US crude oil crossed 1 million tons for the first time in June, an eightfold rise year-on-year, as elevated Dubai prices prompted both state and independent refiners to use it as an opportunity to diversify supplies, a trend that could add to the headache of OPEC suppliers.
While shipments from the US to China hit 1.09 million tons, or 268,000 barrels per day, in June, imports from Saudi Arabia fell to a six-month low of 940,00 bpd in the same month, a sign that China is more than willing to shed its dependence on OPEC supplies and widen its feedstock sources as much as it can, Platts reported.
"China's imports from the US in the second half of this year is likely to go up because of expectations that the supplying country will lift production, thereby boosting availability," said S&P Global Platts senior analyst, Song Yen Ling.
China's imports from the US have multiplied from just about 34,034 bpd a year ago. June 2017 import volumes were also 49.1% higher than May imports of 179,442 bpd, data released by the General Administration of Customs showed.
A closer look at the cumulative import numbers shows OPEC's share in the world's second-biggest oil consuming market fell to around 55% in H1, from 58% in the same period a year earlier. Market participants said OPEC's share is unlikely to rebound in H2, as Saudi Arabia's crude exports are expected to be more or less capped at the current level because of OPEC-led efforts to clear the global oil supply glut.
Prompt WTI has largely been at a discount to prompt Dubai so far in 2017, making US exports attractive to Asian refiners.
A surge in the appetite for US crudes has emerged on the back of significant discounts at which US crudes are offered against global benchmarks. Crude oil vessels normally take around 53 days to sail from the US Gulf Coast to China.
China's overall crude oil imports in June was up 17.9% year-on-year to 8.82 million bpd, from 7.48 million bpd, while its cumulative imports in the January-June period was up 14.5% YOY to 8.6 million bpd, from 7.51 million barrels. Crude shipments from Saudi Arabia to China fell to a six-month low of 940,456 bpd in June, a drop of 15.7% YOY, which is also 13.2% lower than May's level.

You should only take other people's money to maximize opportunity. If taking $1M can get you to $1B market, go get it! But if you are hoping to find $50,000 before you quit your day job, "IDK".
VCs are professional investors with very specific criteria and a fiduciary duty to their limited partners. VC = Institutional money and equity. An "angel" could be anybody who writes you a check. There are also angel groups where angels come together, pool their money and vet deals. Angels are usually active very early at seed stage.
Snapchat just received a $10BLN valuation because they had something a VC was looking for. In addition to 100 million unique monthly users and previous VC validation to the tune of $160MM, Snapchat provide an opportunity to invest in a modern high growth B2C startup. Kleiner Perkins has missed some opportunities after focusing on clean-tech post bubble, so this was an ideal $20MM investment that they were looking for. Supply and Demand. It's about what you are worth to the VC not only the market.
VCs invest in a very specific kind of start-up if they are smart: one that is poised for hyper-fast growth. The good VCs "shoot for the stars." Your startup must have a very huge potential for VCs to be able to fulfill their fiduciary duty to their LP's. VCs have a short list of must-haves in the ventures in which they'll invest and if you don't satisfy those criteria, you either need to change your strategy or don't waste your time chasing that VC.
1. $1B market potential. If yours is not that big, then you need to broaden your horizons and think bigger.
2. Experienced management team. The good news is that VCs have great networks that can help you round out your team. But you'd be better served to get close to a rock star team as possible on your own.
3. Sustainable competitive advantage. If your venture is not built off of some protected and scalable technology, VCs won't usually be interested. They love IP.
4. Scalable business model. You have to be able to grow big fast.
5. Solving a clear real problem. You must demonstrate that you are in touch with your customers. Customer Interviews are KING.
6. Clear exit strategy within 3-7 years. If you are planning to run your business forever, don't bother VCs. They must exit to provide a return to their LP's Raise more, sell or IPO.
• then maybe 18 months later, $10-20M to go BIG.
If you receive a $1M investment and you negotiated a $1M pre-money valuation, you just sold half your company. The value of your company after the investment is $2M (= pre + cash), and that is called "post-money" valuation. 20 – 35% is a good deal from the startups perspective. If you want to drive the valuation up get multiple term sheets and drive the competitive interest from multiple VCs.
There's so much more to discuss like; Comps, Negotiating, Lead Investors, Syndicate Rounds, % of ownership, Exits, Fund Structures Valuations, Term Sheets, Cap tables, Pitching, Decks, Financials, Board seats, etc, but this is enough for now.
Raising money is more of an art than science although there are certainly some best practices on how to hold the brush and stroke the paint. This article is very general and not absolute in any way, but hopefully it can serve as a good starting point for those interested in asking a VC for some cash one day.
Here's a list of Dallas VCs, PE and Angels I got from the DEC info graphic.

Following the success of her single 'Lost Without You',which has now surpassed 16 million streams,Freya Ridings today shares her new single 'Ultraviolet'on Good Soldier Records via AWAL Recordings, which was mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse/David Bowie/Frank Ocean/Lorde). Freya also announces a 12-date headline UK tour in October, including London's Shepherd's Bush Empireon 18thOctober,cementing Freya as thename to watch this year.
'Ultraviolet'marks a striking evolution in Freya Ridings'sound after the stripped-back style of past favourites 'Lost Without You' and 'Blackout'. While Freya's rich vocal tone exudes emotion, the production grows in intensity as the simple piano accompaniment of the introduction explodes into a climatic crescendo of sound. The result is a track, which underlines Freya's credentials as a songwriter while also exploring a darker, more mature sound.
"Ultraviolet is about parts of ourselves we believe we have to hide – like a diary written in secret ink. When those secrets are not only seen but also loved by someone who sees the light and darkness in you, it's the most profound and beautiful thing" explains Freya.
Since the release of singles 'Lost Without You', 'Blackout'and her spine-tingling cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's classic 'Maps', Freya's monthly listeners on Spotify have catapulted to over a million. The tracks have received supportfrom European radio from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, 40PP in Spain to NDR2 in Germany, P3 in Norway, Today FM in Ireland and many more.
Fresh from touring the US with Ella Vos and the UK with Ray LaMontagne, Freya now prepares for a summer of festivals including Barn on The Farm, Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. Herever growing livefollowing around the world is further marked by the announcement of another UK headline tour in October.


Top analyst Michael Walkley at Canaccord pinpoints steadfast resilience in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) North America iPhone sales after a fresh survey, indicating the tech titan is benefiting from a combination of carrier promotions as well as less threat of new competitors in terms of Android OEMs.
As such, the analyst reiterates a Buy rating on shares of AAPL with a price target of $180, which represents a 12% increase from where the stock is currently trading.
Michael Walkley has a very good TipRanks score with a 63% success rate and a high ranking of #40 out of 4,611 analysts. Walkley garners 18.7% in his yearly returns. When recommending AAPL, Walkley gains 24.1% in average profits on the stock.
TipRanks analytics exhibit AAPL as a Buy. Out of 34 analysts polled by TipRanks in the last 3 months, 25 are bullish on Apple stock while 9 remain sidelined. With a return potential of 6%, the stock's consensus target price stands at $170.10.
Cheering from a bullish megaphone, the analyst reiterates a Buy rating on CRM while boosting the price target from $100 to $110, which implies a 16% upside from current levels.
For the second fiscal quarter of 2018, CRM reported upside in revenue, billings, and free cash flow while lifting full year revenue outlook by $100 million. This signals the company's second consecutive quarter revenue guide lift, and the CRM team is looking for 24% top line growth to a total revenue of $10.4 billion in fiscal 2018.
Overall, "All but the most curmudgeonly observer would have to accept Salesforce's results as exceptional. The stock gyrated a bit after-hours (down 1%), so we are thrilled to get a chance to buy CRM into what we expect to be a seasonally strong six-month cycle for the stock – driven by feature improvements in AI, the likely signing of a mega-deal or two, and the Woodstock of software, Dreamforce. We inched our target price up to a 20% upside over the next 12 months, but we suspect that our estimates, and probably the appreciation that we expect for the shares will be a baseline. We have been highlighting three large cap growth stocks this year – Salesforce, Adobe and ServiceNow – and given current valuations and fundamental outlooks, CRM is our favorite of these three exceptional firms," contends Davis.
According to TipRanks, which measures analysts' and bloggers' success rate based on how their calls perform, top five-star analyst Richard Davis has achieved an impressive ranking of #3 out of 4,611 analysts. Davis realizes 25.2% in his annual returns. When recommending CRM, Davis yields 12.6% in average profits on the stock.
TipRanks analytics indicate CRM as a Strong Buy. Based on 15 analysts polled by TipRanks in the last 3 months, 14 rate a Buy on Salesforce.com stock while 1 maintains a Hold. The 12-month average price target stands at $104.36, marking a 12% upside from where the stock is currently trading.

Maryland Politics
Gov. Larry Hogan hammers a bipartisan message at Towson University.

By Ovetta Wiggins

Local reporter covering Maryland state politics
Richard Vatz, a professor of political persuasion at Towson University, used the word "Republican" more than a dozen times Thursday when he introduced Gov. Larry Hogan to address his class.
But Hogan — who is vying to become the second GOP governor in 60 years to win reelection in Maryland, a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1 — seemed eager to avoid the partisan label.
"Some of the things he said made me sound more partisan than I am," Hogan told the audience of about 100 students as he took the microphone. "You said Republican this, Republican that. I'm the most bipartisan governor. I don't even like to talk about parties."
In a 40-minute discussion that moved from education to school safety to gerrymandering, Hogan repeatedly tried to distance himself from President Trump and Republicans in Congress.
"I'm a Republican, but I'm a pragmatic person looking for bipartisan solutions to problems facing our state," he said. "I'm a moderate, somewhere right of center. I find that where I am on most things is where most Marylanders are."
Mileah Kromer, a political science professor at Goucher College, said Hogan echoed a similar theme about a month ago when he appeared before a couple hundred students at that campus with Comptroller Peter Franchot (D).

"He referred to himself as an independent as many times as he could," Kromer said.
Hogan also visited with college students recently at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
"Young people are disgusted with politics as usual, so that message of bipartisanship does play well to a younger crowd," Kromer said. "The question is whether that will lead to higher voter turnouts."
A poll by Harvard University's Institute of Politics recently found that young people are more engaged this election cycle and more likely to vote in the 2018 elections.
Among voters under 30, 37 percent said they will "definitely be voting" in the midterm elections, compared with 23 percent who said the same thing in 2014, the poll found.
But a higher voter turnout would not necessarily bode well for a Republican because, according to the polls, young Democrats are the ones who are most enthused, with 51 percent of them saying they plan to vote in November.
A Goucher poll released in February found that 45 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 34 approve of the job the governor is doing, compared with 65 percent of voters of all ages.
"There are some inroads to be made," Kromer said.
Before the discussion, several students said they knew little about Hogan but would not necessarily vote on a party line.
"It's more about whether I agree with his views," said Jake Rachel, 20, a Republican from Montgomery County. His seat mate, Morgan Osborne, 20, a Democrat from Prince George's County, agreed.
Hogan spent Thursday morning in Prince George's, where he toured a local business and attended an annual conference for crime victims, hosted by his administration.
At the conference, he touted some of the bills that he pushed and that were successful in the legislature this year, including a measure that imposes harsher sentences on repeat violent offenders and legislation that allows prosecutors to use evidence of past sexual crimes when trying accused sex offenders.
And he stressed that the legislation was supported by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
"All of these bipartisan measures will help to protect the most vulnerable among us, will improve services for victims of crime and will help us reduce and prevent the number of future victims of crime," he said.
Hogan noted that the Democratic-majority legislature "failed to pass our felony human trafficking act. . . but we will push again next year to get this legislation passed."

This History of Run-D.M.C. and adidas As Told By D.M.C.
Hear the story behind the most successful important sneaker partnership in hip-hop history directly from the source.
You'd have a hard time finding a stronger sneaker association in all of music than the one adidas shares with hip-hop legends Run-D.M.C. It's been that way ever since the "My adidas" track dropped all the way back in 1986, and it's why they easily topped our Best Partnerships Between Rappers and Sneaker Companies list.
There was more to the song than just selling shoes, which is the way some current endorsements appear to work. Run-D.M.C. weren't bragging about how many pairs they had, but simply talking about what they wore, and what it represented.
A while back we caught up with D.M.C., and got the full story behind exactly how this partnership came to be. Check out the following excerpt from Sole Collector Issue 21, as D.M.C. tells the story in his own words"
Well back in '86, we were doing the Raising Hell album, and we rapped about everything, you know what I'm saying. Run-D.M.C., we rapped about everything we would look, touch, eat or sleep or thought about.
The whole adidas record actually came about – there was a doctor in our neighborhood named Dr. Deas, and he was like this community activist dude. He even wrote a little pamphlet and he put it around the neighborhood called Fellon Shoes, where he was saying [that] kids and youth in the streets that wore Lee jeans and Kangol hats and gold chains and PUMAs and adidas without shoe laces were the thugs, the drug dealers and the low lifes of the community.
So, we actually did the record "Adidas" because we loved adidas. Even before we had the record deal, we wore adidas in the hood. You would save your allowance to get adidas, you know what I'm saying. You would just take a job anywhere just to save up enough money to get some fresh, new adidas. So, we loved adidas.
The corporation itself didn't know why. So, they had … a guy in L.A. named Angelo Anastasio. He was current with the pop and the rock, you know the club scene and the athletes and the designers and all of that. People were like, "You know, Anastasio, have you heard this Run-D.M.C.?" He was like, "Huh, what, what, what the hell is a Run-D.M.C. and rap music, huh?" So, they put him up on it, so he went to adidas and said, "You know, listen, I know what's going on. There's this rap group Run-D.M.C. that made this, so adidas assigned him to leave L.A. to fly to New York to go to the show that Run-D.M.C. was doing in Madison Square Garden.
So, he got back on the plane, went to L.A., told them it was true; L.A. sent him to Germany to go meet with the adidas family. … He went there, "Listen, guys …", and they're German guys, "There's a rap group called Run-D.M.C. and the reason why those charts are shooting up off the charts for Shell Toes is because they made record." And they went, "Hold up, hold up Angelo, first of all, what the hell is rap music and what in the world is a Run-D.M.C.?" And then the rest is history.

The 49ers signed receiver Brandon Lloyd after missing out on, seemingly, every other free agent at the position. As it stands, Lloyd's ceiling would be as the 49ers third receiver but it would be a huge upset if San Francisco didn't use one of the six picks they have in the first two days on a receiver. There's very little potential for Lloyd in dynasty leagues.
In other 49ers news, local writers predict that linebacker Aldon Smith won't play for San Francisco next year. It would be a huge blow for them and Smith including his dynasty value. Here's hoping he can get some help and get his life on track.
Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey is excited about last year's third overall pick, Dion Jordan. Jordan can be classified as either a defensive end or linebacker but will have to show more ability to get to the quarterback if he's going to be worth anything in 2014 dynasty leagues and beyond.

Recently I was given some older PDA's that were headed for the landfill. The two I've been playing with the most are the Palm T|X and the Palm Tungsten C. The mainline kernel has support for both these devices and I was able to boot Debian squeeze on both with a 3.x kernel using cocoboot. On the T|X I have a gui running with lxpanel and touchscreen working. On the T|C I only have a command line working. Wifi is still a work in progress. I have successfully connected to an access point with the T|X but it loses connection after a short time, and on the T|C I have been unsuccessful even scanning for an access point. There isn't really any recent work being done on these devices. Most of what I found is from 2007-2009. Some information (and precompiled cocoboot) can be had from http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~miska/ and Marex also has some info.
I have a few more PDA's (some ipaqs, sony clies, handspring visors) and have no idea about what to do with all of them. Maybe have a contest or something and give a few away?

SKID ROW PARTNERS WITH DEAD SLED COFFEE FOR THEIR OWN SIGNATURE COFFEE BLEND
Don't be the one left behind! Slave to the Grind coffee is here! Award-winning and Multi-Platinum band Skid Row has teamed up with fellow New Jersey natives Dead Sled Coffee to bring fans and all coffee lovers across the world their signature "Slave to the Grind" coffee! The brew is a blend of beans from both Costa Rica and Brazil, creating a rich and bold French roast. "Slave to the Grind" coffee is now available in either ground or whole bean options and is on sale for $20 at SlaveToTheGrindCoffee.com. International fans of the band don't need to worry – Dead Sled ships worldwide!
"Slave to the Grind" celebrates and pays homage to the band's multi-platinum sophomore album which was the first heavy metal album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 140,000 copies in its first week and went on to sell over 3 million albums. The band wrote the entire album in a New Jersey studio so this partnership with the New Jersey-based Dead Sled made it an easy decision.
"Being the coffee fiends we are, we are very psyched to partner with a company as cool as Dead Sled coffee," says Skid Row's Rachel Bolen. He continues, "We don't just put our name on any product, so the pairing was a no-brainer. This is seriously great coffee. And being based in New Jersey we understand each other literally and figuratively. That said, our coffee can kick your coffee's ass."
Snake also shared a special message about the partnership. You can watch HERE.
"The first time I heard Skid Row I had the thought, 'these guys are amazing,'" said Diana Whittles, co-owner of Dead Sled Coffee. She goes on, "Each song felt like a fist in the air rock and roll battle cry. They quickly became part of my heavy rotation and with every mixtape I made there were at least two or three of their songs that often got rewound and listened to multiple times in a row. It is my honor and pleasure to welcome the powerhouse that is Skid Row to the Dead Sled Coffee family. I am so excited to be working with a band I have so much love and respect for and who set the soundtrack to a huge portion of my teen years. My inner 15-year-old is completely freaking out!"
Primary Wave Music's VP of Brand Partnerships Lisa Fruggiero worked with the team at Dead Sled on this project added, "Our goal when connecting Skid Row and Dead Sled Coffee was to create a unique, high-quality coffee line that resonates with Skid Row fans and attracts the avid coffee drinker. This coffee line achieves it all and we can't wait to launch more flavors and products together for years to come."

In the northern Great Plains of Canada, there has been limited research conducted on reduced-tillage grain production systems managed organically. The objective was to adapt an organic rotational no-till system to the growing conditions of Manitoba, and to test its agronomic performance. A set of four experiments were conducted between 2010 and 2012, in Carman, MB, Canada. Mulches with hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) showed the most promising results, producing the highest mulch biomass and organic no-till spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Organic flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) yield was significantly higher in no-till than in the two tillage treatments. Reduced content of soil nitrate-N and perennial weeds limited crop productivity after 4 yr under organic continuous no-till. In conclusion, the successful adaptation of the organic rotational no-till system to the growing conditions of Manitoba eliminated the need for tillage for a period of 1.5 to 2 yr.


New Delhi: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat will visit Sikkim on Thursday in the backdrop of a standoff between Indian troops and Chinese army along the India-China border in the sensitive sector which is threatening to further strain the bilateral ties.
The Army chief will take stock of the operational matters and interact with top commanders in the formation headquarters of the force in the border state.
General Rawat's visit to Sikkim comes amid mounting tension between the two armies along the border in Sikkim following a scuffle between Indian troops and the personnel of China's People's Liberation Army in a remote area earlier this month.
The genesis of the latest face-off is understood to have had a link to Donglang, a narrow but strategically important tri-junction of India, China and Bhutan.
Official sources described General Rawat's visit as routine.
During the two-day-long visit, General Rawat will travel to a number of other formation headquarters in the Northeast and review various operational matters in the region -- a strategically key region having most of the 3,488-km-long-border with China.
Of the India-China border from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh, a 220-kilometres section falls in Sikkim.
China has accused Indian troops of "crossing the boundary" in the Sikkim section and demanded their immediate withdrawal, while asserting that it has shut down the Nathu La pass entry for Indian pilgrims travelling to Kailash Mansarovar because of the border standoff.
Chinese defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said on Monday that recently China has begun the construction of a road in Donglang region, but was stopped by Indian troops crossing the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

WHO warns of 'backsliding' in measles fight as cases soar worldwide
This is frustrating since the disease can be easily prevented with two doses of a 'safe and efficient' vaccine that has been in use since the 1960s, the UN agency says

GENEVA, Switzerland – The World Health Organization warned Thursday, February 14, that efforts to halt the spread of measles were "backsliding", with case numbers worldwide surging around 50 percent last year.
The UN health agency pointed to preliminary data showing that the disturbing trend of resurgent measles cases was happening at a global level, including in wealthy nations where vaccination coverage has historically been high.
"Our data are showing that there is a substantial increase in measles cases. We're seeing this in all regions," Katherine O'Brien, WHO's director of immunization, vaccines and biologicals, told reporters in Geneva.
"We're having outbreaks that are protracted, that are sizable and that are growing," she said. "This is not an isolated problem."
O'Brien pointed out that less than 10 percent of actual measles cases are reported.
"So when we see the reported cases increasing by 50 percent, we know that we're heading in the wrong direction," she said, adding that the true number of infections was "in the millions".
Countries have until April to report measles cases registered in 2018 to the WHO.
But the agency said the data it has received so far showed that around 229,000 cases had already been reported, compared to 170,000 for 2017.
Last year, measles caused approximately 136,000 deaths around the world, according to WHO's preliminary figures.
Measles is a highly contagious disease, which can cause severe diarrhea, pneumonia and vision loss and can be fatal in some cases, and remains "an important cause of death among young children," according to WHO.
Complacency and misinformation
This is frustrating since the disease can be easily prevented with two doses of a "safe and efficient" vaccine that has been in use since the 1960s, the UN agency said.
Up until 2016, the number of measles cases had been steadily declining, but since 2017 the number has soared, according to Katrina Kretsinger, who heads WHO's expanded immunization program.
"There are a number of outbreaks ... which are driving some of these increases," she told reporters, pointing to significant outbreaks in Ukraine, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad and Sierra Leone.
In Madagascar alone, "from October 2018 through 12 February 2019, a total of 66,278 cases and 922 deaths have been reported," WHO said.
In poorer countries, marginalized communities and states in conflict, lacking access to the vaccine is the problem.
In Europe and other wealthy areas, meanwhile, experts blame the problem in part on complacency and misinformation about the vaccine.
The resurgence of the disease in some countries has been linked to medically baseless claims linking the measles vaccine to autism, which have been spread in part on social media by members of the so-called "anti-vax" movement.
"We're backsliding on the progress that has been made," O'Brien said.
"And we're not backsliding because we don't have the tools to prevent this. We do have the tools to prevent measles," she said.
"We're backsliding because of the failure to vaccinate." – Rappler.com

Brazil records 12,000 congenital syphilis cases in first half of 2022
news desk Laugh
The Brazilian Ministry of Health Reports recorded 79,587 cases of syphilis, 31,090 cases of syphilis in pregnant women, and 12014 cases of congenital syphilis in the country until June 2022.

This is broadly in line with 2021 when more than 167,000 new cases of syphilis were recorded in Brazil, with a detection rate of 78.5 cases per group of 100,000 inhabitants; 74,000 cases in pregnant women, 27,000 cases of congenital syphilis, a rate of 9.9 in children under one year of age per 1,000 live births; And 192 deaths from congenital syphilis, at a rate of 7.0 per 100,000 live births.
Syphilis appears in the primary, secondary, latent and tertiary stages. In the primary and secondary stages, the possibility of transmission of infection is greater through sexual contact with an infected person. The most dangerous cases of acquired syphilis are observed in the third stage, because if there is no adequate treatment, serious complications can appear, such as skin, bone, cardiovascular and neurological lesions, which can lead to death. At all stages, syphilis can be transmitted to a child during pregnancy or childbirth.
Congenital syphilis can have serious consequences for the baby, such as deafness, blindness, bone changes and mental impairment, which can lead to death. Therefore, every pregnant woman should be tested at the first prenatal consultation (ideally, in the first trimester of pregnancy); At the beginning of the third trimester (the twenty-eighth week); At the time of delivery, or in the case of miscarriage/stillbirth, regardless of previous examinations.
A rapid syphilis test is available at SUS Health Services, and is practical and easy to perform, with the result reading in a maximum of 30 minutes, without the need for a laboratory structure. In 2022, through September, 9.5 million rapid tests were distributed to all states and the Federal District. The number exceeds the number of deliveries made in the whole of 2021, which was 9.03 million.
"The rate of testing has increased, which makes it possible to expand the scope of diagnosis of the disease, especially among pregnant women, as well as to provide timely treatment," notes Angelica Espinosa Miranda, General Coordinator of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Surveillance. in the Ministry of Health.
According to the ministry, to prevent syphilis, it is necessary to use a male or female condom. It is the only way to avoid disease. In 2022 alone, Brazil distributed 293.9 million males and 4.5 million females to 26 states and the Federal District.
Syphilis is treated with antibiotics found in basic health units. In the case of a pregnant woman, due to the risk of transmitting the infection to the fetus, treatment should begin only with a positive test, without the need to wait for the result of the second test.

A syphilis infection can put both the adult and the baby at risk during pregnancy. Therefore, monitoring and testing of pregnant women and their sexual partners during prenatal care is recommended for the prevention of congenital syphilis.

Heading to the beach, pool, or lake? Be sure to throw these safe-in-the-sun essentials in your bag before heading out for the day.
Water shoes. Flip-flops are cute, but its way too easy to trip and twist your ankle in them. Water shoes give you more support on the sand and in the waves, plus they protect the tops of your feet from getting sunburned and cut by rocks or seashells.
SPF 30 sunscreen. Be sure it protects against UVA and UVB rays. And when you think you have enough on, squirt out some more because "almost everyone underapplies sunscreen," says Richard Zane, MD, vice chair of emergency medicine at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston.
A giant bottle of water. Go ahead—guzzle it. You need twice as much fluid when youre active as you do sitting at your desk. Dont wait until youre thirsty, either: Thats a sign that youre already dehydrated.
Antibacterial gel. If the restroom is out of soap, an antibacterial gel kills germs and bacteria just as well.

Q: OLA API Integration giving error as invalid partner key I wanted to use OLA APIs for my project. So I followed the official docs  of OLA and tried something as follow using python requests. This request expects response for ride estimate from source to destination.
import requests

headers = {'X-APP-TOKEN' : "your_api_token"}
payload= {'pickup_lat': 12.9490936, 'pickup_lng': 77.67773056, 'drop_lat': 12.9190934, 'drop_lng': 77.1777356, 'category': 'micro'}
response = requests.get('https://devapi.olacabs.com/v1/products', params=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

As mentioned in the docs I have included the X-APP-TOKEN in the request header as well. But I'm getting the following issue.
{'code': 'invalid_partner_key', 'message': 'Partner key is not authorized'}

Any help would be highly appreciated.

A: You need to use the following url while testing(sandbox):
http://sandbox-t.olacabs.com/v1/products

A: Use

https://sandbox-t1.olacabs.com//v1/products

instead of

https://devapi.olacabs.com//v1/products

while making a ride availability api request.
eg.
GET
https://sandbox-t1.olacabs.com//v1/products?pickup_lat=12.9491416&pickup_lng=77.64298&category=mini
Headers:
[{"key":"X-APP-TOKEN","value":"2e987510441744ceabbbe8b4f9382e93","description":""}]
