Boeing Awarded Contract for More than $383 Million for Protected Tactical Enterprise Services by U.S.A.F.
The Boeing Company, El Segundo, California, has been awarded a $383,421,855 cost-plus-incentive-fee, award-fee contract for the Protected Tactical Enterprise Service by the U.S. Air Force.
This contract provides for a joint ground system to provide tactical satellite communications with enhanced anti-jam and low probability of intercept to tactical warfighters in contested environments. Work will be performed in El Segundo, California, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2025.
This award is the result of a competitive acquisition and three offers were received. Fiscal 2018 and 2019 research, development, test and evaluation funds in the amount of $17,234,485 are being obligated at the time of award.
Space and Missile Systems Center, El Segundo, California, is the contracting activity (FA8808-19-C-0001).
According to AFCEA, the Protected Tactical Enterprise Service (PTES) will be a hub-and-spoke system that reaches out to tactical warfighters and uses the WGS constellation. It will tap the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW), which the government developed to provide secure communications in a frequency-agnostic format, adding additional secure communications to ensure warfighters are more likely to have necessary connectivity while being less likely to have their location identified.

Asia hedge fund startups falter
Asia-focused hedge funds started with help from a major backer are shutting down as a shrinking pool of key investors.
Managers with more than $5 billion have lured the bulk of allocations, while a more recent crop of large startups are diverting investors from smaller competitors.
Thus hedge funds that began trading after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., including those run by refugees from investment banks, were not able to lead a revival for the industry, as expected.
Isometric Investment Advisors Ltd. decided in December to close after its largest startup investor said it would withdraw its cash. Black's Link Capital Ltd. closed after its biggest investor, a U.S.-based fund of hedge funds, pulled its capital last year, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
About 281 Asia-focused hedge funds have been set up since the end of 2008, 95 percent of which started with less than $100 million, according to Singapore-based data provider Eurekahedge Pte. About 74 percent of them have failed to "significantly" expand assets and 14 percent have since shut, it said. Criteria used by Eurekahedge to define "significantly" include average assets growth of at least $5 million a month, or total capital raising in excess of $100 million.
Asia-focused funds tracked by Eurekahedge oversaw $124.1 billion at the end of last year, 29 percent less than the peak in 2007. They lost an average 8.5 percent in 2011, underperforming the 4.1 percent loss for hedge funds globally, according to Eurekahedge indexes.
"All the smaller funds of funds who used to help and family wealth who used to help early managers grow are just not there," said Richard Johnston, Hong Kong-based Asia head of Albourne Partners Ltd., a consulting firm that advises investors on hedge funds, private equity and other alternative assets. "The gap between seed capital and getting to a good meaningful sustainable size of $500 million plus is a hard gap to plug."
Funds Stuck
Albourne counted 22 Asian startups founded since early 2009 by experienced hedge fund managers and traders with at least $50 million of capital, said Johnston. Of those, four have closed because they failed to raise capital beyond that provided by initial investors, he said.
Among funds still operating, five are "stuck at the launchpad" with less than $200 million and one dominant investor, five have raised more than $500 million, and four have more than $1 billion, he added, declining to identify the companies.
But not all startups since 2008 have struggled. Senrigan Capital Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, founded by Nick Taylor, former head of Citadel LLC's principal investment business in Asia and Europe, started trading in 2009 with 67 percent of its initial $150 million capital from Blackstone Group LP.
Senrigan oversaw more than $1 billion at the end of last year from more than 50 investors, said a person with knowledge of the matter. Chris Nash, Senrigan's chief operating officer, declined to comment.
Dymon Asia Capital, a Singapore-based manager, started its macro hedge fund in August 2008 with $113 million, the bulk of which from Tudor Investment Corp., the Greenwich, Connecticut- based hedge fund company founded by Paul Tudor Jones. Dymon's assets have grown to $2.5 billion from about 90 investors, said Willy Ballmann, its chief operating officer.

I found this to be personally interesting:
By springheel_jack - 3 months ago (28, Sep 2020 2:11:17 PM)
My apologies for this being the first post in a couple of weeks. Hoping to get this back to a couple of posts a week now.
I've been avoiding discussing COVID-19 much in recent months as it is very much an election issue in the US and that's not a conversation I really want to be involved in. The progress of COVID-19 is very much a market issue as well though, so I'm going to drop in some hopefully not too controversial statistics on COVID-19 mortality rates as these are now becoming a lot clearer as time has passed.
In terms of deaths per confirmed case there have now been just over 33 million cases and about 1 million deaths worldwide at the time of writing. That puts the death rate per confirmed case at just over 3%, which will be low as there is a lag of about 16 days between a case being confirmed and the likely date of a consequent fatality. However in practical terms the actual mortality rate is likely much lower, as a lot of people get COVID-19 without having been tested, particularly those who show slight or no symptoms at all when infected, which may be as high. The CDC is estimating that the true mortality rate is in the 0.6% area in the USA, which is likely about right. What is very interesting though is the variation in the mortality rate between different groups within that overall average.

Brandon Robinson has been found guilty on all 15 charges. His sentencing is set for September 26.
The District Attorney of Kern County released a press release following Robinson's conviction.
A Kern County jury convicted the 21-year-old on all 15 felony counts arising from three separate sexual assaults on three different women between the dates of March 3, 2017 and May 11, 2017.
According to court documents, the convictions include felony violations of sexual assault, forcible oral copulation, forcible sexual pentration, kidnapping, robber and criminal threats.
Attached is the press release from the DA.
In May 2017, 23ABC obtained court documents which revealed details in the three sexual assault cases Brandon Robinson was allegedly involved in.
Robinson admitted to Bakersfield Police he was the suspect involved in all three cases being investigated, according to the documents.
However, in an interview with 23ABC a week ago , Robinson said he did not commit the crimes.
In the documents, Robinson and the victim of the Bakersfield College bathroom assault noted that the bathroom was pitch black during the assault. Robinson forced her around, threatening her if she screamed. Robinson then attempted to force sexual acts.
When security guards arrived, both of them were not fully clothed. Robinson quickly put his pants back on and attempted to hide in a stall. Robinson was handcuffed and originally gave officers a fake name, Malcolm Johnson, and an incorrect birth date.
The victim said she did not know Robinson. She was taking a break during a final exam and was using the restroom at the time the assault took place, according to the documents.
The court documents also show that Robinson lived with his sister. He had been going to counseling for things that transpired between him and his father. He denied using illegal drugs, prescription meds and consuming alcoholic beverages, according to the documents.
Robinson said he acted the way he did because of what happened to him in the past, not being in his right mind, his father's sexual addiction, and "Satan" having control of him, as detailed in a report.

What do Powermax Treadmill model numbers actually mean?
Powermax Treadmill model numbers use codes to describe the Key Treadmill features. Once familiar with the codes you can learn a lot about a particular Treadmill just from glancing at its model code.Powermax Treadmill model number has a name that consisted of three letters and a 3 or 4 digit number to it. This makes identifying Treadmills rather easily, as both the letters and the numbers actually stood for something. For example, the numbers always translated into the User weight, and Motor size.
Second digit 30 - stands for the motor size of 3 HP Continuous motor.
Treadmills (often referred to as running machines) are pieces of cardio equipment used for running, jogging or walking whilst remaining in one place. A treadmill provides a moving platform by means of a running deck and belt. The belt is powered by an electric motor and moves from the front to the rear, allowing the person to walk opposite to the direction of the belt. Manufacturers are continually reducing their manufacturing costs. This means you can now purchase a reliable home use treadmill for under INR 85000 and a cheap budget one for under INR45000!
In India, we have unpredictable weather patterns throughout the year and as winter approaches there are fewer hours of daylight.
Because of this walking, jogging and running outside can prove to be difficult. However, with treadmills, you can walk, jog or run in the safety and comfort of your own home, rain or shine, day or night!
Less impact on joints - Running on a treadmill reduces the impact on your joints compared to running on pavements or road surfaces. To further reduce the impact purchase a machine with an orthopedic belt.
Reduces stress - During cardio exercise endorphins are released into your bloodstream. This release of endorphins produces a natural high, which in turn relieves stress.
Increases energy levels - Exercise of any kind will increase your energy levels and be running is one of the best forms of exercise to help increase your overall energy.
Increases lung capacity - Long distance running will help improve your lung capacity, making you stronger and healthier.
Increase bone density - The impact of running on a treadmill overloads the selected structure and causes the body to increase the density of weight-bearing bones in an effort to accommodate the stress of the activity.
Increased calorie burn - Because running is a weight-bearing exercise it burns more calories in comparison to rowing machines or exercise bikes.
Folding Treadmills - If you are short on space a folding treadmill is an answer. Make sure if folds easy, it's stable and has a high maximum user weight.
Non-Folding Treadmills - If you have the space a non-folding treadmill is ideal. Non-folding treadmills tend to be slightly more stable compared to folding models.
Commercial Treadmills - Commercial treadmills are suited for a commercial environment such as a health club or gym, they are designed for heavy usage throughout their lifetime, which is why you will find such good warranties on commercial treadmills.
If you decide to buy and use a treadmill, it could be one of the wisest health decisions you could make. Treadmills, particularly motorized treadmills are easy to use fitness machines, they will improve your cardiovascular system and they provide the ideal way to burn calories and help with weight management. If you are a runner then its all well and good taking a run during the warm summer evenings but what happens when the winter snow, rain and dark evenings arrive? Well, that's easy, you pull down your foldable treadmill from the cupboard under the stairs, plug it in and start jogging and the whole family can use it as well.
There are more treadmills on the market than any other kind of fitness equipment leaving you the consumer with a mind-boggling choice. This is a mixed blessing. There is now a good range of quality treadmills to choose from but there are many more treadmills out there that you should think very carefully about before spending your hard earned cash.
A good motor fitted to a quality treadmill will have a trade price of INR42000 plus. Yet there are cheap treadmills on the market selling for this price. To be fair even the cheapest treadmills will offer something to those on a tight budget but be warned, they may come with problems. Some of these machines have been designed to last not much more than 6months because they think that people will not be using them for much longer than that. It sounds unbelievable but true. A lot of these fitness machines are sold on the web. They are bought over by the container from the Far East. The website sells them off offering all kinds of guarantees that a few months down the line the website disappears leaving you the consumer with no redress. So if you see a very low priced treadmill its a case of buyer beware.
Consider who will be using the treadmill and what their specific goals are.
It is often the case that there will be more than one person in the family who will be using the treadmill. Discussing each person's goals will help make sure that you purchase workout equipment that will withstand the use of multiple family members and provide the adjustments to accommodate different size users. For example, going for the cheapest option or buying a low quality underpowered motorized treadmill is a common mistake, but one that can cause considerable problems, particularly if it is being used by both a 57 and a 107 Kg person. Also, will the treadmill grow with you? In a very short time with regular use, you will find your fitness improving and as it does so you will need more from your treadmill. Will it be able to accommodate this?
Go to a specialist fitness store and test the treadmill.
A specialist fitness equipment store should be able to offer a range of treadmills for you to try. They will also be able to show you how to use the treadmill properly and provide installation as well as show you how to do routine maintenance. Then test the exercise equipment yourself. Almost any treadmill will feel and seem adequate if you just walk on it for a couple of minutes. It's only when you begin to put the treadmill through its paces by jogging or running on it, adding elevation and using different programmes will you start to see and feel the major difference in quality and comfort, even vibration and noise. When you go to the store wear appropriate clothing so you can test the gym equipment properly. A good treadmill is a major investment. Take your time.
Consider where you are going to site your treadmill. There is no problem with putting a treadmill upstairs as long as you appreciate that someone running hard on it will cause some noise and vibration below. A garage is fine as long as it's not damp, which would affect the electronics. Conservatories are popular, but if its south facing it may get hot. If you have a gym room on the ground floor, which is something that is growing in popularity then you have the perfect solution. Space should not be too much of a problem today now that there is such a large range of folding treadmills available. Don't forget that a motorized treadmill is an electric treadmill and will, therefore, require power from an electric socket.
When you look at the treadmill console does it make sense? Do you intuitively know how the buttons work? Is the screen large enough and the workout information easy to read? The salesperson will show you the basics but when you get the treadmill home they will not be there to guide you, so make sure you feel comfortable that you will be able to use the console with ease.
This is a major selling point for all treadmills now, but not all cushioning systems are the same. The ideal absorption system should be one that feels firm and stable when you run yet still forgiving. It should not feel soft and spongy and slap back at you. This kind of cushioning could cause knee injuries over time and also wear out quickly. Good quality treadmills from respected manufacturers provide cushioning that is researched based and can show evidence of why their system works. There should be a methodology in the system other than simply putting in rubber spacers or dampeners. Some treadmills now come with orthopedic belts, which subtly enhance the cushioning further. The only way you can be sure you like the feel of the cushioning is to test the treadmill. Remember anything that will make your workout more comfortable will result in you sticking with it and achieving your desired goals.
This is where the confusion really starts. Don't be fooled by the bigger is always better rhetoric. There is more to a treadmill motor than its size. What you should look for is a continuous duty HP motor (continuous duty is a measure of horsepower under regular anticipated use and is far more meaningful than peak horsepower). In reality, 2.0HP and above should be sufficient for any user as long as the rest of the motorized treadmills components are of a high quality. For example, a good cooling mechanism will reduce the heat generated by the motor and other major components, prolonging their life and reducing wear on these parts. A large motor with a poor cooling system is not a good combination as this will result in premature wear and poor performance. However, a superior cooling system and quality electronics do not come cheap and this is why there is such a disparity in the price of motorized treadmills. Try not to focus on just the big or quiet motor, instead look at the treadmill as a whole system, with matching components that work together. It is this that makes the difference between a bog-standard cheap treadmill and a quality treadmill.
An array of feedback features is available on most motorized treadmills. It is tempting to buy one with everything but before you do, consider what is important to you and the other users of the treadmill and how you will use it. You will certainly need the basic information such as speed, distance, elevation and time. You then need to look for features that will motivate and challenge you such as pace and heart rate. If you get bored easily it may be worth investing money in a treadmill that has a range of different workout programmes, as this will help you stay motivated.
Folding treadmills use one or two hydraulic pistons to assist with the lifting and lowering of the running deck. Make sure the piston is good quality and does the job. The majority of foldable treadmills have what some brands call a 'softdrop' mechanism. This lets the running deck drop slowly and gently without any intervention from you. It was designed to prevent injury to young children who may have accidentally released the treadmill from its raised locking position. These work very well but again the quality of the piston is crucial. The locking device differs considerably from brand to brand. Some have a simple release handle conveniently positioned at shoulder height, others have a pivoting plate at the bottom of the treadmill that you have to push down with your foot and others have an annoying leaver type piston combined support that you have to pull apart. They all work adequately but some are just easier to use.
We are often asked if foldable treadmills are less stable than a platform (non-folding) treadmill. Years ago folding treadmills were very unstable compared with a platform treadmill and cheap treadmills still are today. But buy a quality folder and you will be hard pressed to feel the difference.
The belt should be long enough and wide enough to accommodate your running style, if you plan to do a lot of running then look for a belt with a width of 500mm (20") and a length of 1400mm (55").
The maximum speeds will vary between models. Mid-range and commercial treadmills have maximum speeds of 20kph (12mph). To give you an idea of speed, world-class runners run at an average speed of 20kph during a marathon!
If you plan to do a lot of uphill walking or running then look for a treadmill with an incline of 10%. Thankfully most mid-range treadmills incline to 10% (some incline to 12%).
Always check the maximum user weight before you purchase. Budget running machines usually have maximum user weights of around 100kg whilst mid-range treadmills have maximum user weights of around 130kg.
You can purchase many accessories. At Powermax Fitness Superstore we offer accessories such as Floor protector Mats, Extended treadmill warranties, Heart Rate Monitors and much more.
Running and walking on a moving piece of exercise equipment is very effective and simple, but for the raw beginner, it can also feel unsafe and fraught with quality issues if you don't choose wisely.
A treadmill will always require a little maintenance after all a treadmill is a mechanical and electronic piece of moving exercise equipment. However, on a quality treadmill, the maintenance should be minimal. Once set up you should not be centering the belt or lubricating the running deck after every workout. A well- designed unit should take in normal wear and tear. Ask the salesman what is required. Some treadmills have reversible running decks. This means that if normal wear and tear take its course on the running surface the deck can be flipped over, basically doubling the life of the running deck. This is something that can be done by a competent owner but it is always worth asking the store what they will charge to do it professionally. If you have bought quality, professional gym equipment then it may be worth paying that extra to get a professional to look after it. However, on a quality treadmill, this is something that will not be required for many years.
Today treadmill warranties are almost used as a marketing tool. Companies now compete to offer longer and more comprehensive warranties. This is all well and good as long as the manufacturer is still in business in 10 years time. At a minimum, the treadmill should have a 3-year motor warranty, 1-year electronics, and 1-2 year labor cover. As with everything else and this is probably more so with a treadmill, you get what you pay for. A treadmill has to take an enormous amount of punishment compared to other fitness equipment. For anyone who has regularly visited a health club, they have probably found that the one piece of equipment that is out of order more than any other is the treadmill. Therefore the better the quality the less likely you will need to use your warranty. Finally Equally as important, do the dealers from whom you are purchasing the exercise equipment, have their own service staff that is trained and authorized by the manufacturer to service your fitness equipment. At Powermax Fitness we have our own dedicated service engineers who have years of experience.
Treadmill installation: Treadmills can be very heavy that is why we would recommend our installation service. Installed by our own engineers.

See why Grand Rapids' Joe Taylor Park is getting national recognition
March 20, 2014 | BY Kinsey Schopp | mlive
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Joe Taylor Park is being featured here by the City Parks Alliance as a "Frontline Park" – as in, "on the forefront of creating healthier, more sustainable cities" through development of urban green space.
Check out the photo gallery above for a brief history of the park, named after a Grand Rapids police officer who got shot and killed tracking a murder suspect in the neighborhood in the 1980s.
Here's the plot line that attracted the Washington, D.C.-based City Parks Alliance: Grand Rapids piggy-backed on an infrastructure project and pooled public and private resources to expand park space in a neighborhood plagued by crime and poverty.
The group says Joe Taylor Park, 1030 Bemis St. SE, sets "a new standard for sustainable park design," and shares this lesson for city parks nationwide:
"City agencies should collaborate on projects that can serve a dual purpose, particularly in dense areas where land acquisition for parks is cost-prohibitive. Most of the preliminary steps to building a park were completed as a by-product of the water facility construction, so the park expansion was relatively cheap."

Q: chrome.identity.getAuthToken cannot get Token in Chrome Extension I use the following code in a Chrome Extension:
 chrome.identity.getAuthToken({'interactive': true}, function(token)
    {
       DoMagicStuff();
    });

This works fine at home with my extension added directly as source folder, but does not work with the packaged CRX-File on another machine (but the same user). I receive "undefined" as a token.
The manifest.json inside the crx contains a Key as needed. This is the relevant part of it:
{
    "permissions": [
        "http://ajax.googleapis.com/",
        "storage",
        "identity"
    ],

    "key": "xxxxxxxx",
"oauth2": {
   "client_id": "xxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "scopes": [
      "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login",
      "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me"
    ]
  }

No Error can be seen on the console when trying to collect the token
No Popup asking for authorization appears at all. No Popup-blocker installed
UPDATE:
It looks like the application ID is not the same as the one from the api-dashboard (and the store). (I now have the extension twice installed. One (older version) with the correct ID from the store and one from the CRX)
Can I modify the value for the crx?

A: I am also looking into this problem (running dev version on a chromebook) and here's what I understand and worked for me...
When the CRX is created with Pack extension (chrome://extensions), it uses the client id (from Dev Console OAuth) in your manifest, and there is a dependency on the location of the CRX sources.
To install the CRX is manually on another machine, either:

*

*Ensure the CRX is installed to the same location (directory) on the target machine, or

*Use Dev Console to create a new OAuth client id (entering the app id shown in chrome://extensions on the target machine), update manifest.json with the new OAuth client id, recreate the CRX with Pack Extension, and try using the new CRX on the target machine.

Padres spring forward and it may be a good sign
Region Sports Talk
by Jay Paris March 8, 2018 034
Spring is in the air and with it arrives a dose of Padres optimism. Hopefully it's a feel-good vibe that lasts longer than usual.
The Padres are in the dog days of training camp, meaning opening day on March 29 is right around the corner. But this year, the first of San Diego's 162 games might not mean a painful journey toward a destination Padres followers are familiar with.
For seven consecutive losing seasons the Padres have resembled a CD with a skip in it. They've produced losing baseball, boring baseball and baseball that seems meant to entertain the visiting team's fans instead of those faithful to the local nine.
But is change on the horizon? Could a youth movement that has been declared the path to sustainable success be more than a nifty catchphrase? Can the Padres catch not only the ball, but possibly snag lighting in the bottle and be competitive this year?
That's a stretch and one glance of the starting pitching tells you why. But when eyeing the club, it's just as clear that the painful process of getting good is taking shape.
First things first and that leads to first baseman Eric Hosmer. The Padres scratched out a $144 million check to an All-Star that can hopefully point the kids toward the promise land.
Hosmer, who is as smooth with the media as he is with his Gold Glove, appears to be a perfect fit as the face of the franchise. Wil Myers was anointed that role when he signed his big deal before last season, but it never took.
"It was one of those things I wasn't equipped for," Myers told the Mighty 1090. "The Padres went out and got that guy. That's the leader we're looking for."
With Hosmer aboard Myers will land in a corner outfield spot, likely to be right field. That's fine for Myers, who often looked out-of-sorts at first.
Luis Urias has turned heads at second base, unfortunately he hasn't flipped many years on his calendar. At age 20, he seems to be an option for the future. Then again, his sizzling spring has some thinking the future is now.
"His at-bats," manager Andy Green said, "have been scary good."
The running horror show at shortstop has been halted and we're not talking about Fernando Tatis, Jr. the Padres' prized prospect. Freddy Galvis was acquired in the offseason and everyone is buying in to the Padres having an anchor at the infield's most important spot.
A familiar face resides at third base as Chase Headley starts his second stint with the club. Headley will get on base and not on his teammates' nerves. The veteran has embraced his responsibility of being a clubhouse mentor and the peach-fuzz brigade would be wise to follow his lead.
Austin Hedges returns to catcher after a year in which he proved he belonged. If his bat ever equals his glove, the Padres will have an All-Star.
With Myers in right, then left field could offer a platoon situation with Hunter Renfroe and Jose Pirela. The thought of Renfroe — a one-time savior — being a part-time player speaks to the Padres' progress.
Manuel Margot mans center and there's few other young talents the Padres would prefer roaming the wide-open spaces of Petco Park. His bat has some bite, too, which is why the Padres are excited about his development.
The bullpen looks decent with Brad Hand holding down the fort. What's not as fortified is the rotation, as the Padres hope the young arms in the minors — Cal Quantrill, Mackenzie Gore, Michel Baez — grow up fast.
Two starters with potential are Dinelson Lamet and Luis Perdomo. If castoffs Tyson Ross, Clayton Richard and Chris Young can contribute, that would be plus.
What's not a negative is the track the Padres are on. It finally appears the light at the end of the Padres' tunnel is no longer an oncoming train.

JULIA ELAINE BEVELY: WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER IN DEATH OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY ILLINOIS CHILD, WPSLOCAL6.COM — 12/10/2020
Marion, IL — A woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of an 11-year-old girl in Williamson County, Illinois.
Investigators with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office say 11-year-old Jade Marie Beasley died around 12:30 p.m. Saturday in a home on Songbird Road, just northeast of the Marion, Illinois, city limits. In an autopsy performed Sunday by Forensic Pathologist Marissa Feeney M.D. at the Williamson County Morgue, her death was ruled a homicide.
Wednesday afternoon, the sheriff's office announced it had identified a person of interest in its homicide investigation. A short time later, Williamson County State's Attorney Brandon Zanotti announced the arrest of that suspect: 29-year-old Julia Elaine Bevely.
Zanotti said the 11-year-old girl was stabbed multiple times, and she died because of blood loss. He said Bevely was living with the girl's father, who was at work at the time of the stabbing.
The state's attorney said Bevely called 911 on Saturday. He said Bevely claimed she saw a man leaving the home, and when she walked inside, she found the child dead. However, investigators now believe Bevely is the person responsible for the girl's death.
There is no word on a possible motive, Zanotti said.
Funeral arrangements have been announced for Beasley. An obituary published by Blue Funeral Homes in Marion says the Marion Junior High School sixth-grader was "funny, smart, and sassy."
"Jade liked playing outside and swimming. She enjoyed art, drawing, painting, and playing video games. Jade loved her friends, adored her pets, and cherished her siblings," the obituary says.
Private funeral services for Jade's family and friends will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday at the Marion First Baptist Church. The funeral home says memorial donations for the family be mailed to Blue Funeral Home, 1704 N. Court Street, Marion, IL 62959.

Line of Duty (BBC)
By Stanley,
July 18, 2012 in Film, TV & Radio
Rudderless
Happy Valley might be the most ironically-titled show ever.
(I wonder if we should have this thread be labelled "UK Crime Dramas" or similar)
Just finished series 1 of Happy Valley as was on Netflix. Amaze! Gets really sinister really quickly and just keeps going, despite the lovely British countryside. Nice surprise and use of juxtaposition yet still very real feeling. Sarah Lancashire's performance elevated the show to even greater heights. Need series 2 stat!
Chadruharazzeb
Pronouns: It/ That
I like Happy Valley but there's too much B plot domestic guff, whereas Line Of Duty doesn't waste a second, every scene is moving the plot forward.
I liked the domestic guff as you put it, as it got me more invested in the characters' motivations.
Didnt find it better or worse than line of duty's more procedure-dedicated approach - it's just a difference of positioning in that genre imo

I can recommend listening to Adam Buxton's podcast chat with Sally Wainwright (author of Happy Valley).
I've just worked my way through all four series of this over the last couple of weeks, with series three and four binged over the bank holiday weekend.
One thing I'm not sure on, though:
Dot came to AC-12 from AC-9, and it was AC-9 that Jamie went to after he transferred from AC-12.
So... Just how many Anti-Corruption Units does Line of Duty's Birmingham have?! Does it really need more than AC-12?
AC-12 is Manchester isnt it?
AC-3 Is East Mids, which is who authorised the lassy to investigate Roz
Line of Duty's city is never named, but I thought it was Birmingham, not Manchester. Its force is the Central Police, its neighbouring force is East Mids, it was (at least in series one) shot in Birmingham...
It has - at a minimum - AC-12 and AC-9.
Hmmmmmmmmm. I thoughtvit was Central as in Central District of the city, like in The Wire. Its ace either way.
The force itself is called Central Police, it's not just the central district of a larger force.
I've just checked Wikipedia regarding the location:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_Duty
Series one was filmed in Birmingham (including pub interiors in the Queens Arms)[14] and series two, three and four in Belfast by BBC Northern Ireland, per the end credits, though the city is not identified in the script in any series – set dressings and props indicate that the unnamed city is Birmingham (maps of Birmingham appear on walls, and telephone numbers use an 0121 area code). A photo gallery of exterior scenes from series two shows the 4th Street Station on Ormeau Avenue in Belfast.[15]
As for my actual question, I found this on the Line of Duty fan Wikia:
http://lineofduty.wikia.com/wiki/AC-12
Anti Corruption Unit 12, often shortened to AC-12 is the professional standards department of Central Police. Led by Superintendent Ted Hastings, its job is to investigate members of the service who are expected of being involved in corruption, misconduct or mishandling case evidence.
http://lineofduty.wikia.com/wiki/AC-9
AC-9 is a smaller professional standards department within Central Police. Unlike their larger brother AC-12, they are also responsible for witness protection.
That does seem to fit. When Dot was transferred from AC-9 to AC-12, he was specifically referred to as a witness protection expert (plus it would make sense he was involved in WP, to keep an eye on Tommy). It would also tie in with Jamie - now in AC-9 - saying he had been ordered take one of the two witnesses into protective custody.
Have to say we blitzed all 4 series over a month. Incredible stuff.
as was me reading out all your Jodie comments to the wife. We're both in tears of laughter here
Stejay
My wife and I watched series one a couple of months or so back on Netflix and found it fairly decent, but didn't feel compelled to rush into season two, until @elmo's post above reminded me about it and so we started season two on Saturday evening and wow! Things moved at a much faster pace, Martin Compston seemed much less wooden, and we went to bed about 1.30am after watching the entire six episodes in one sitting, and ended up buying season three and four on Amazon Prime.
Series three was similarly awesome, and we moved onto series four last night, having reached the end of episode three where
Steve Arnott has just been attacked.
I'd read that series four is probably the best series so far, however we're struggling a little with it so far. Unless things become clearer later on, we just can't understand the motives of
Roz Huntley, and why she didn't own up and tell the truth, claiming self-defence because Ifield was about to go all-out Dexter on her. Especially after saying to the prostitute / cleaner that no court would convict her if she admitted to killing Ifield in self-defence.
And neither of us are feeling it as a result. Still, three episodes to go so plenty of time for some twists and turns to convince us otherwise. No doubt we'll still finish it this evening and then join the rest of you in the painful wait for series five which the last I read won't be until 2019!
I'm with you steejay. We too thought series 4 was the weakest but it ends so well, so it's worth sticking with.
By weakest you still mean better than probably 90% of other current UK TV programmes.
3 hours ago, Stejay said:
Yes. Yes I do.
The remaining episodes ramp things up until the almost breathless finale. About the most animated either my gf and I have got during any TV show in recent memory, so much wow, made all the more impactful by the relatively slow-burn build up.
So good.
Are series' 3 and 4 available anywhere? Netflix only has S1 and 2. Hankering for my next fix on this
I think the whole of Series 3 (the best series), is a fiver on the Google Play store right now.
57 minutes ago, Triple A said:
I paid £5.99 for series three and £13.99 for season four to own digitally from Amazon Prime. I think they're a quid cheaper each in SD.
4 hours ago, glb said:
It did indeed ramp things up and mostly cleared up our issues with Huntley's motivations too in the end. I still think the series three finale was better, but this was very close. Quite a tidy ending, but still enough left open to make the thought of series five very interesting.
I just hope that they don't
make Hastings the true 'H' though. He should remain a thoroughly honest police officer.
10 hours ago, Stejay said:
Reveal hidden contents
Aye, hope the same re the spoiler. Think it's a red-herring to bridge between seasons, and plant doubt and would take some deft writing to pull off. Then again, maybe the real 'H' being so duplicitous would make such a reveal work.

I think the UK has had some excellent cop stuff these past few years. I certainly prefer it to the American equivalents. Luther, LoD, Happy Valley, No Offence and The Fall spring to mind straight away. All really good concise series.
My wife and I have just watched series one of Happy Valley over the last two days due to the mentions of it in this thread. Cracking series that I'd heard of, but would probably never had watched otherwise. It is better acted and more grounded in reality than Line of Duty, although it slower and not quite as 'quick, stick the next one on!' compelling as that is. The title credits with the wobbly fonts weirdly reminded me of Justified for some reason.
We've been almost exclusively watching US TV shows for years, other than Luther at the time, and LoD and HV over the last couple of weeks. I've been stupidly ignorant and missed out on some quality programmes as a result. We've noticed The Night Manager is on Amazon Prime, so that's next up in our UK TV catch-up.
Exactly the same as me re ignoring the uk stuff.
i have happy valley s2 on now and it's great!

I haven't missed it streaming anywhere legally for free have I?
I bought it on bluray that's how bad I was jonesing for it lol
Haha, fair enough. I'm too idle for disks nowadays so I'll go the Amazon Prime or iTunes route.

Just finished series 3 of this and its astounding TV. The finale in particular was epic with Steve interview scene being a highlight.
I found all 4 series on youtube if anyone wants to pick this up: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCehggSQosduXOTf0hCp84uQ
Going to take a break and then hit series 4 in a couple of months.
Jamie John
I hadn't heard of this programme at all but decided to watch season 4 it after it came second (following Handmaid's Tale) in the Guardian's top TV of 2017 list. I can't remember the last time I watched a British TV drama, as inferior as it tends to be compared with American TV, so I was a bit dubious to begin with, but - as others have said - it's fantastic. So tense! The interview scenes, especially, were completely breathless, and the whole thing had the wife and me guessing right up until the end. We watched the whole series over six nights and spend 20 minutes after each episode discussing it.
Top stuff. We're going to watch the series now. I think they're all on iPlayer. Are they as good?
jonamok
Pronouns: He / Him
Mostly better.
Sartre84
I don't think British dramas are inferior at all. Especially not crime dramas. Line Of Duty is good although it has become increasingly far fetched as its gone along. We have a fine lineage of quality crime dramas_ Prime Suspect, Cracker, Trial And Retribution, Waking The Dead, The Vice , Broadchurch etc. Far superior to most US offerings. A Touch Of Frost and Morse also top quality shows!!

Gap starts at home, study says
From the day they set foot in kindergarten, black children in Pinellas County are not as ready for school as their peers, a study commissioned by the School Board finds.
District lawyers will use the study to defend against a lawsuit alleging the school system has failed to give black students a "high-quality" education, in violation of the Florida Constitution and state law.
The lawsuit points to the achievement gap, which in Pinellas has black students trailing white students by 20 to 40 percentage points on reading and math test scores.
"Whatever is causing the gap, it, by definition, is something that happened to these children before they set foot in a Pinellas County School," lawyer Michael W. Kirk told the School Board on Thursday. Kirk, of Washington, D.C., is helping defend the district.
Noting that other Florida districts report a similar-size gap, the study also found that Pinellas "does not appear to be systematically contributing to" the problem.
But Kirk and district officials made clear that the findings also will be used to identify the causes of the gap and close it.
"This study is not an opportunity to say, 'We won,' '' superintendent Clayton Wilcox said.
Instead, the findings will help educators "carefully craft solutions to many of the problems that are impacting our community's kids," he said.
One surprising finding could help right away.
The two well-known researchers who performed the study found that when they factored out the impact of poverty on many black families, black students in about 20 percent of Pinellas schools performed better than their nonblack peers.
The researchers, David N. Figlio and Cecilia Elena Rouse, urged Pinellas to find out what those schools are doing to help black students and copy it in other schools.
The lawsuit was filed in 2000 by a black father, William Crowley, who said his son experienced academic difficulties that were all too common among black students in Pinellas.
A Pinellas judge later made the case a class action, meaning the plaintiffs include the 21,000 black students now in the Pinellas system as well as any who might be enrolled in the future.
A March trial date has been set, but lawyers predict it could be delayed.
Guy Burns, the Tampa attorney representing Crowley, said the study sounded like the district was trying to escape blame for the gap.
The lawsuit is not about blame, but action, he said.
"They're hung up on the issue that they, the School Board, have not discriminated,'' Burns said. "That's not the point. The point is, whatever the reasons are (for the gap), they have failed to educate those students."
That district officials were talking about using the study as an improvement tool was a good thing, he said. "I'm encouraged if they are trying to find some meaningful solutions."
Figlio and Rouse debunked one common solution districts often turn to: putting more black teachers and administrators in schools with high black enrollment.
According to the study, black students performed no better and sometimes performed worse in the presence of black educators.
Figlio, a professor at the University of Florida, and Rouse, a Princeton professor, are pre-eminent researchers in the field of education and economics.
To explore the fortunes of black kindergarteners, they tapped into data from the district's Omnibus Project, which tracked the 8,400 kids who entered Pinellas kindergarten classes in 1989 and followed them closely through high school graduation.
They looked at the readiness assessments teachers completed on each student, rating them on academic skills such as their knowledge of letters, and emotional skills such as the ability to communicate and take turns.
In all categories, black children were more likely to be deemed as not having the skills they should have by kindergarten age.
In the reading category, for example, 43 percent of black children were found not to have age-appropriate skills, compared with 29 percent of Asian children, 21 percent of Hispanic children and 16 percent of white children.
To account for the possibility of teacher bias in making the ratings, the researchers looked to see if the findings mirrored the students' performance in later grades. They did.
The students in that project are now in their early 20s.

Unless you have discovered that you are absolutely perfect at absolutely everything, then I suspect we shall be in full agreement that the only way to as much success as possible is to rope in other class acts and hope a lot of good stuff rubs off.
One of the interesting things about recession is that it forces us to do things differently; I was speaking with a commercial property lawyer last week who said that she has definitely seen things improve through 2012 and one of the key things she has been aware of is that people have been doing things differently. That many of her significant clients have come together into groups or consortia and pooled money, contacts and expertise as they have been unable to get the 'usual' funding from banks or equity partners. And that she has seen people being more creative about schemes and ways round situations that wouldn't have been there in the boom days – that their response is to gang up and bash the problem into oblivion.
Most of us women, of course, will likely be reading this and saying "well, so what? What dough-brain didn't realise that collaboration was A Good Thing anyway?" But (braving the stereotypes – or collapsing into them) it is generally valid to say that women have a tendency to be more naturally collaborative than do very many men in the business world. Ever since the Sirens banded together to make their voices better heard women have generally always kind of got that. We are competitive, for sure, but often not to the exclusion of the collaboration gene, but rather in communication with it.
Not only did this give us the opportunity to match our brand and company ethos with a fantastic charity in Scotland, but it also enabled us to collaborate with dozens of fabulous women across the country. We'll raise money for this critical charity (at least £100,000 by June 2013), we'll have some fun, test ourselves a bit and also start doing business with one another more. As we said at the launch event, we've all been ticked off at the behaviours of some organisations over the past 5 years; if you can't beat them and you don't want to join them, just don't give them any new business! We aim to refer within the group where we can and support one another's businesses to claim stellar growth as we (hopefully) start to lift our heads out of recession.
The IWB100 community is growing by the day (we are over halfway to the 100 sign ups) and we are working with hugely supportive partners such as Branding Boutique, Hotel Indigo, Adam & Co and the Scotsman for starters. Then there are the stories of what everyone is going to do to raise the cash…. some women are clearly more bonkers than others… But they'll all get the support they need and one thing is for sure – we'll do it together and we'll celebrate together when we've done it.
Look forward to hearing about the 'bonkers' projects Clare. I agree too that we should not underestimate our power to influence by being very clear about which organisations we do business with. We all need to do more of it!


The worldwide number of people over 60 years of age is growing at a faster pace than that of any other age group. At current rate, by 2050, there will for the first time in human history be more people (2 billion) over 60 years of age than people younger than 14.
At the same time it has been found that a whopping 80% of the elderly's ailments ease or disappear with a 30min daily exercise that takes place outdoors and in company of others.
So what can we do to cater for this increasingly important public space user group?
Come and learn why senior's exercise matters and how it can work outdoors in various public spaces.

Zanzibar is the semi-autonomous part of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of numerous small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.
Zanzibar's main industries are spices, raffia, and tourism. In particular, the islands produce cloves, nutmeg,cinnamon, and black pepper. For this reason, the islands, together with Tanzania's Mafia Island, are sometimes called the Spice Islands (a term also associated with the Maluku Islands in Indonesia). Zanzibar is the home of the endemicZanzibar Red Colobus Monkey, the Zanzibar Servaline Genet, and the (possibly extinct) Zanzibar Leopard.


When we purchased our farm on Colorado's western slope in 1992, it was like most ranches and farms in the region: "just plain worn out." Hay was cut each year and cows turned back on it until the snow covered the ground. Manure was harrowed in, lots of N-P-K added annually and the cycle started over. This had been going on for approximately 50 years! We quickly realized that the process was far from sustainable. That's what drove us to soil biology and fish fertilizer in Colorado. We became biological farmers who manage our soil microbiology for better crops and produce. Our harvest has increased dramatically and just keeps getting better!
We didn't immediately set out to become the best fertilizer supplier in Colorado. In fact, we started small. Our neighbors looked over the fence at our hay field the first year we applied Liquid Fish and immediately wanted the same results in their fields! From there, word spread quickly and the results spoke for themselves. Today, we're the premier provider of organic fertilizer in Colorado, carrying biological and trace element products that will increase soil production and improve the quality of your farm. We even assist with community supported agriculture farms and offer farm visits, to educate people on how to grow the best food and forage!
All our products are certified or NOP listed. They can be used for organic, sustainable, or conventional crop production.
We're a proud member of the Valley Organic Growers Association and support VOGA's mission to promote sustainable agriculture in Western Colorado.
We do not deliver or provide containers; however, we can drop-ship tankers to your farm. Whatever size container you bring to our farm we can fill it!
We specialize in soil microbiology and constantly strive to improve the formulations of products we offer.
We're the only bulk provider of fish fertilizer in Colorado situated on the Western Slope!
When we tried to raise "horse hay" — alfalfa-grass hay — we were lucky to harvest .5 ton per acre per cut, now we harvest 1.5 tons, three times as much per cut. The soil samples we first took showed that our soils had nothing left for the next season's growth cycle. Commercial fertilizer recommendations were for hundreds of pounds per acre of NPK, and 5-7-10 pounds per acre of trace elements, just to keep things growing.
Our primary customer base is for horses and field is 70% grass, 30% alfalfa. We try to keep our crude protein below 18% with averages 14%-18%. Some of our hay has tested at 21%. These past few years our TDN (total digestible nutrients) has come up to 78.4% and 161-262 relative feed value. Trace elements are well above average.

Court rejects Abdullah Khadr extradition request
By Michelle ShephardSpecial to the Star
Wed., Aug. 4, 2010timer3 min. read
Abdullah Khadr walked out of a Toronto courtroom a free man Wednesday after an Ontario judge refused to extradite him to the United States to face terrorism charges.
"I think this is going to be a new beginning for me in life," Khadr told reporters outside the court as his lawyers and family looked on.
Extradition orders to the U.S. are rarely denied, but Superior Court Justice Christopher Speyer ruled Wednesday that "this was an exceptional case on many levels."
The 29-year-old Canadian has been held in Toronto jail since a Boston court indicted him on terrorism charges in December 2005. He is accused of supplying weapons to Al Qaeda when he lived in Pakistan following the 9/11 attacks.
The surprise decision focused on the fact that the U.S. paid Pakistan a $500,000 (U.S.) bounty for the Canadian's arrest in Islamabad in 2004 and that Khadr was held for 14 months in what Speyer called an "illegal and arbitrary" detention.
Speyer wrote in his 62-page ruling that the human rights violations suffered by Khadr were "both shocking and unjustifiable."
"The United States was the driving force behind Khadr's capture and detention," Speyer wrote. "The payment of the bounty heavily influenced the ISI (Pakistan's intelligence agency) to act in accordance with the United States agency's wishes."
Khadr claimed he was beaten during his first days of captivity and to stop the abuse he told his Pakistani interrogators what they wanted to hear, later repeating those claims for the U.S. and Canadian agents who followed.
Lawyers Nathan Whitling and Dennis Edney had argued that extraditing Khadr would mean Canada supports countries that violate international law since the case against the Canadian was based entirely on his statements.
When asked outside of court what he plans to do now, Khadr said, "I have no idea."
"Thank you for everything, for the justice of the system," he said. "I always believed it would happen one day and thank God it happened."
The issues in Khadr's case underscore the greater legal debate about the limits on interrogations, cooperation with countries with poor human rights records and the tension between intelligence-collection and criminal prosecution.
Speyer's ruling comes just days before Khadr's younger brother Omar is set to go on trial in Guantanamo, in an historic war crimes case that deals with many of the same legal challenges.
The Canadian children of reputed Al Qaeda financier Ahmed Said Khadr (who was killed by Pakistani forces in 2003), have always been considered high-value intelligence assets. Abduraham Khadr, the self-professed "black sheep" of the Khadr family and brother to Omar and Abdullah, worked as an informant for the CIA following his capture in Afghanistan in 2002.
Speyer wrote that the U.S. sought Abdullah Khadr for the intelligence purposes, not for criminal prosecution when detaining him in 2004.
But "in civilized democracies," Speyer wrote, "the rule of law must prevail over intelligence objectives."
And while Speyer said he found some of Khadr's testimony was unreliable and was not satisfied there was evidence Khadr was tortured in Pakistan, he did believe he was beaten when captured and "subjected to other mistreatment."
"When a U.S. government or any foreign government steps into a Canadian court they have to arrive with clean hands," Edney said outside of court, saying he was "delighted" by the ruling.
"They can't try to use evidence that is derived from the abuse of human beings and the judge saw that was an abuse of process and did the right thing."
Federal government lawyer Howard Piafsky, who argued the Toronto case along with Matthew Sullivan on behalf of the U.S., said it was too early to decide whether they would appeal Speyer's ruling.

The law firm I've been working for made me a partner today. Yesterday, I founded a world-wide towing corporation called "Big Tow." On Tuesday I found out that my current wife is pregnant with sextuplets—all boys—and on Wednesday my ex-wife died in a seventy-five car pile-up on the way to the dentist. On top of that, on Friday I shot an 18 at mini golf on a business trip in Dallas, and on the flight home I impregnated all three flight attendants. It's been a crazy week!


When Leona Reaver was thirty years old, she was senselessly killed in a car accident. Her husband, Horace, flew into a fit of rage, and killed a great many people. It hadn't been his first time, but it was the first time it had had consequences. He had the ability to redo every single day one extra time. Usually, his murders took place during the first round, but her permanent death had destroyed his mind, and his capacity for self-restraint was lost forever. But then their daughter, another time traveler, came back with a proposition. She would send his consciousness back in time to when he was a child so that he could start over. Unfortunately for him, too many things were different. Yes, his beloved was still alive, but they didn't meet when they were supposed to, and she ended up falling in love with the man who had been responsible for her death in the other timeline.
Leona ended up figuring out how to hack into Mateo Matic's temporal pattern, and join him on it. Her alternate husband grew even angrier for this, and made many attempts on Mateo's life, always failing, and eventually being killed himself. She and Mateo continued their adventures, but they were not always together. At one point, he was sent back to the 1940s so that he could witness a now-friend of theirs murder Adolf Hitler. This major alteration in the timestream created a third reality. Mateo himself was never born. Leona's parents both died, causing her to be adopted by a lovely couple; ironically the same parents who had adopted Mateo in the previous timeline. Leona's brother was never born either, she never fell in love with Mateo, and she never became a time traveler. She spent twenty-eight years of her life totally oblivious to all this.
It was only then that she was ripped from her life, and thrown into a world with time manipulators, salmon, and powers that be. Five years later, one of these time manipulators finally caught up with her. Nerakali had the ability to extract memories from an alternate timeline, and implant them in the mind of the version of that person in the current timeline. She called this blending, and it is how Leona was able to remember her old life with Mateo, even though all those events had been erased. This was all common knowledge to her friends and family. What they didn't know about her—what she never breathed a word of—was that Nerakali had also given her the memories of that original timeline. She could remember her time as Horace Reaver's girlfriend, and later wife. This was important, because at the moment, on July 6, 2121, Leona Delaney was alone on a beach with Horace Reaver. It was awkward, but they were going to have to talk eventually.
Earlier that morning, Saga Einarsson stood before everyone, and explained what expiation they were charged with completing. It wasn't really her, though. A time manipulator was taking control of her body, and speaking her orders without having to actually be there with them. Every three days, a new person would go missing, and this time it was a woman named Stendahl. Like with all the other people Arcadia had taken from them, no one could actually remember this woman. It was hard for them to wrap their minds around the possibility that they experienced these deep, personal connections with people, only to have them torn out of time so thoroughly that they didn't even feel loss. Leona and Paige were different, though. They couldn't remember details, but they did feel that someone was no longer with them. Before Téa was taken, she donated her socks to Leona, which provided a sort of psychic connection that could not be completely severed. She did the same to Paige by donating a pair of her pants.
There were a few things about Téa Stendahl that Leona knew to be true. Téa was born a man in the eighteenth century. In his twenties, he became a salmon, and started uncontrollably jumping forwards in time. Through this, he eventually met Aura Gardner and Samsonite Bellamy, though they all three had different names. Téa, while going by the name of...oh, what was it? Theodore. Yes, Theodore Bolton. Leona couldn't believe she managed to remember that. Upon Theodore's death by what might have been a car crash, he was sent forwards in time once more, to the year 2018, but it wasn't really him. He was reincarnated into a new family, becoming Theo, Leona's younger brother. At first he knew nothing, because he was just an infant, but over the years, memories started coming back to him. By the time he was an adult, he could recall as much about his literal past life as anyone could of their earlier experiences. He later met up with his old friends from the past, and did his best to maintain a relationship with his now-sister, who was a time traveler herself.
This was all well and good, but then Mateo did that thing where he went back in time and helped change history by killing Hitler earlier than he would have died. Since this changed Leona's upbringing, it meant that the man once known as Ed Bolton could no longer be reborn as her brother. Hell, his mother, and their mutual father, never even had the chance to meet. And so the powers that be, the people controlling all of this, simply chose to place him in some other family. This was when he became a she, and she was named Téa Stendahl. Since Nerakali had blended Leona's brain, she could remember her former brother-slash-now sister. She could remember feeding him baby formula, and teaching him how to walk, and helping him with math homework. She could remember the love she felt for him, the pain of having to leave him behind all year, every year while she hopelessly jumped forwards in time, and the joy of seeing him every moment she could. But Téa never understood any of this. Sure, they could tell her that she was born as Theo in an alternate reality, but that was not something she could truly comprehend. Leona eventually had to face the reality that she no longer had a brother. Reconciling the contradictions between the three lives she remembers living was something she's never really been able to do. It was a work in progress.
Another thing, however, that Leona could remember of Téa Stendahl was that she had a history of letting people down. More importantly, she had a history of making things up to the people she loved. Leona always knew that, no matter what, Téa would do everything she could to make it right, to repair any damage she had caused. And so this was their job for the next three days. They were tasked with working with someone who either they had wronged, or had wronged them. This was why Leona and Horace were sitting on the beach together, forbidden from going far enough away to find one of the other groups. Their special location was their old camp; the one they supposedly used for decades before being assigned the construction of a new camp. Their memories had been altered, which meant they hadn't actually spent all that time there. It was just a falsehood, but it still felt real, which made it that much more sad to see the camp in such poor shape. They hadn't come back in years, and the shelter was falling apart. It was a mess; a suitable symbol for their new lives as island survivors.
When Mateo and his friend went back to 1945 and killed Hitler, life for Horace Reaver was destined to change as well. His salmon time power was different before. He would still go back and relive every single day, but he had no memory of the first time around. He possessed only feelings; a sort of déjà vu on steroids. Everything he did felt familiar. This gave him an advantage—say when betting on a sports competition, or getting into a bar fight—but it was also stressful. Nothing felt exciting, and he could never really do anything spontaneous. Fortunately for him, his luck would change. He met a young man by the name of Serkan Demir. They started battling this evil corporation together, and quickly fell in love. They spent decades as a family, along with Paige, whom they had accidentally brought with them on a trip from 1970s Stonehenge. He was not the twisted killer from the first timeline. He did not murder people for sport, and then rewind the day to absolve himself of all consequences. Nor was he the ruthless business magnate of the second reality, so obsessively focused on reclaiming his love, Leona, that he no longer cared about anything else. He was a new man...a good man.
At some point, though, this new Horace Reaver encountered the brain blender, Nerakali Preston. For reasons known only to her, she blended his brain as well, implanting memories of the first and second realities. Suddenly he could recall all the death and destruction he had purposefully caused. He could remember killing his own mother as a child to prove to himself that he was a time traveler. He could remember killing his own fiancé, in this bizarre ritual sacrifice, before going back in time and marrying her. He could remember going on a killing spree after one of his best friends literally drove her to her the true death. And he could remember being given a second chance, and wasting it by dedicating his life to his former friend's misery. This was likely what Nerakali had in mind when she forced these memories upon him. She wanted Horace to go after Mateo again, to rekindle their hatred of each other in the future. But this did not happen, because not only could he still remember the reality where he was good, but what she didn't know was that he had forgiven Mateo even before the third reality was created. He did not return to his life as an adversary. Instead, he became friends with Mateo and Leona, and that was what he remained, even today. Leona knew this, but it was still awkward between them, because they were two of only a handful of people who had memories of all three alternate realities.
