It is not just illegal drugs that President Rodrigo Duterte is against, but also gambling.
"I will not allow it. I hate gambling. I do not want it. There will be no casinos outside of what are existing here," Duterte said in a speech during the 117th Police Service Anniversary at Camp Crame in Quezon City.
The President who has become prominent and lauded for his decisive actions against illegal drugs, crime, and corruption is addressing yet one more issue.
This sentiment rose amidst the controversy over Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) where they have a 70-year property lease contract which Duterte found to be "grossly disadvantageous".
"Yesterday I fired the council of Nayong Pilipino, all of them. You do not give gambling licenses or franchise for 75 years," Duterte explained.
"Mean to say that a child is born today and 75 years later, he is that old. There will still be gambling in the city. I will not allow it. I hate gambling. I do not want it," he added.
of new casino licenses in order to keep the gambling hubs of the country at the controllable levels.
"I am not granting anything. Basta gambling ayaw ko. Better look for something more enticing just waging your — to wager a war, a money," the President said.
Dissenters and critics have long hunched that the closure of top tourist destination Boracay was because of a bigtime casino from China will be established on the island to profit from the ambiance, view, and tourist influx.
However, President Duterte has made a stand to curb the gambling scene in the country by simply allowing existing casinos to be the only casino-resort who will continue to operate in the country, and vows that no new ones will set foot on the country.


In running a music studio at home, one which is equipped with a private bathroom, it is important to keep well stocked on basic supplies such as toilet paper, hand soap, facial tissue, and towels. As I have taught each piano student to wash their hands before every piano lesson, helping to not only keep the piano keys clean, but to cut down on germs and illnesses, the studio can go through a large volume of paper towels.
Rather than making several trips to the store throughout the year, using gas, time, and energy, I discussed the ease and benefit of ordering bulk supplies online a long time ago. It is really very simple. The same large office supply stores or discount stores which offer annual back-to-school sales frequently offer free shipping for online orders over a certain cost.

Josh is a sixth year Law and Engineering student who wonders why he hasn't graduated yet. He has taken up permanent residency in the C&S Office and dreams of smuggling in his two cats.
Bahe is a second year Commerce and Law student, majoring in Economics. In his spare time, Bahe enjoys processing club grants, helping club office bearers and sleeping on the couches of the C&S office. Bahe rates basketball, dogs, the combination of coco pops and rice bubbles (it tastes phenomenal), C&S grants and memes. Bahe hates cats.
Priyanka is currently in her third year studying Arts, doing a double major in International Studies and Communication and Media Studies. In her spare time, she's always travelling and exploring everything adventure related.
Alex is a 3rd year Information Technology student who has spent time working in the finance industry on cybersecurity and software development, and has decided to surrender any freedom he had over his unit choices by doing a double major in both.
Alex is also a 2nd term president of the video games club on campus, though his committee will swear to you they've never actually seen him play any games.
In his spare time he likes to read minutes and write regulations. Alex is the chairperson of Australian Collegiate Esports, an Australian not for profit company which works to better the video game and Esports scene within higher education communities around Australia.
When he's not working himself into an early grave, Alex can be found at home watching (low quality) Netflix shows, purchasing (average quality at best) stamps from amazon, or at the shooting range trying to beat his personal best (its highly dubious whether his aim is getting any better).
If you ever see Kevin on campus, he is either procrastinating in class or getting involved in some club activities. As a Mechatronics Engineering / Commerce student, he has the ability to engineer a way out of a tough spot and therefore feel free to consult him on anything that is unrelated to fashion tastes.
Maiher is a fith year Engineering and Commerce student, majoring in Mechatronics and Marketing. He is an avid fan of games, whether it be board, card or tabletop, and is always up for one. He is also happy to help with any questions on grants, applications or general C&S procedures, so feel free to send him an email.
Hadi is in (hopefully) his last year of his long career at Monash studying a Bachelor of Software Engineering. Hadi has been described as a big fan of Cats, Dogs and animals in general, he doesn't believe in propagating hate speech against cats. If you see him in the office, say hello to him, he is always up for a chat, and excited to be distracted from his study.

Oklahoma Sooners Football: The talented Amani Bledsoe could really help OU's defense
By admin on October 2, 2017 in Sooners
After serving a year-long suspension, sophomore defensive lineman Amani Bledsoe makes his return to the gridiron on Saturday after serving a suspension for a failed PED test. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Sooners have aspirations of making a return to the College Football Playoff. With a championship-caliber offense already in place, the addition of a talented pass rusher like Bledsoe could be the key to bolstering the Sooner defense.

SEC's Stein Calls for Presidential Working Group on Retirement Security
Retirement Planning > Retirement Investing
by Emily Zulz
News October 17, 2018 at 03:02 PM Share & Print
Commissioner Kara Stein of the Securities and Exchange Commission called on President Donald Trump to issue an executive order to create a working group on retirement security during a recent speech.
"Today, we as a nation face a fast-approaching crisis — an aging population without sufficient resources to fund a secure retirement. This crisis is a collective problem that, unless solved, will cause many individual tragedies," she said during an event hosted by The Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings about retirement security.
Stein notes that the SEC's mandate "only encompasses a small portion of the larger retirement issue" because the regulator deals with individuals who "already have enough resources to save and invest." This is why Stein called for a collaboration with other government agencies and a wide range of people.
"The working group would assemble regulators from the Departments of Labor, Treasury, Commerce, and others," she said. "It would also bring together major market participants, such as asset managers, exchanges, broker-dealers, and others to determine private-sector solutions wherever possible."
According to Stein, the purposes and functions of the group would be to enhance the state of retirement security in the United States by making recommendations regarding legislative, regulatory, or other changes.
"Both the government and the private sector have work to do to prevent a potential crisis that has many causes, but also many possible solutions," she said.
In her speech at Brookings, Stein also outlined several ways that the SEC itself can help with retirement security.
Educating Investors
One way is to help educate investors. Stein said that the SEC should work with other agencies to create a model curriculum for schools.
"We know that much of the education people receive about investing comes once they have enough money to invest," she said. "But if we are truly to make a difference, financial literacy education needs to start much earlier."
Stein suggested that the SEC could sponsor contests — similar to spelling bees — for middle school and high school students about investing in their future. She also suggested creating an app that teaches kids and adults how to invest.
Enhancing Investment Advice
Another way is to enhance investment advice by addressing the differing standards of conduct applicable to investment professionals in a way that protects investors.
In a recent survey conducted by SEC staff, most investors assume that someone who is giving them advice has to put the investor's interests first. However, that is not always the case.
According to a 2015 Council of Economic Advisers report that was used by the Obama administration to justify its now-defunct fiduciary rule, retirement savers lose about $17 billion to conflicted advice each year.
Stein called this "a staggering sum that has real-world consequences for retirees," and she said that the SEC must take action.
"Recognizing that many Americans depend on [investment] professionals for their retirement, the commission must ensure that they are giving their clients unconflicted advice," Stein said.
Stein sees at least two ways going about this: Raise the duty for all investment professionals so that it meets investor expectations, or teach investors to treat the advice that they receive from certain professionals differently.
"My guess is that it would be easier to simply require that all persons actually giving investment advice put their client's interest first," Stein added. "It's simple and straightforward."
Stein notes this may require action from Congress.
Protecting Investors
As retirees rely more and more on their investments, Stein stressed that the SEC must work to ensure that those investments are protected from fraud.
"Sadly, retirees lose billions of dollars every year to fraud and abuse. And after-the-fact enforcement is only so useful," she said. "Often, by the time the SEC arrives, the money is already gone and investors can never be made whole."
According to Stein, deterrence is critical to preventing such losses, and she added that effective deterrence requires meaningful penalties.
"We all know that when it costs more to park in a garage than to pay a parking ticket on the street, the number of illegal parkers goes up," she said. "Penalties cannot be merely the cost of doing business. They must be large enough to deter others from engaging in similar conduct."
However, Stein noted that the SEC's penalties are trending down. In fiscal 2016, the SEC imposed penalties of almost $1.3 billion. In fiscal 2017, the SEC imposed penalties of $832 million, according to the SEC's Division of Enforcement 2017 Annual Report.
She also noted that the SEC is limited to obtaining five years' worth of ill-gotten gain as a result of a recent Supreme Court decision.
"This means that clever wrongdoers are able to retain tens of millions of dollars of investors' money," Stein said. "When crime pays, investors, including retirees, pick up the tab."
According to Stein, the solution to this problem does not lie at the commission.
"This is something that Congress must fix and I urge them to do so," she said.
What the SEC can do, she said, is ensure that known wrongdoers are unable to repeatedly access markets..For instance, Stein pointed out that the SEC can bar lawyers and accountants from practicing before it, bar broker-dealers and investments advisors from the industry, and request officer and director bars. The SEC also can apply certain restrictions on issuers who have engaged in bad conduct.

Jacqueline Avant Fatally Shot; Wife of Music Legend Clarence Avant Was 81
Philanthropist Jacqueline Avant was fatally shot in her California home on Dec. 1 during an apparent robbery. Avant was the longtime wife of music executive Clarence Avant, known as the godfather of Black music.
The couple was married for more than 50 years, and Jacqueline was loved in the world of music and philanthropy. As the investigation into her death continues, her family remains shocked at the tragic murder. Jacqueline was 81 years old.

LAPD says the robbery appears to have been planned
Jacqueline Avant was shot amid an alleged robbery and home invasion at her and Clarence's Bel-Air home. Sources tell TMZ that Jacqueline was shot in the stomach. Her family is said to be shocked that she did not survive as she was reportedly alert and speaking with paramedics while being transported to the hospital.
A security guard at the home was also reportedly shot and did not return fire. Clarence was reportedly home and not shot. It's unclear how many culprits are involved.
Law enforcement sources say they received a call from the home that someone had been shot around 2:30 in the morning. A photo from the outside of the home shows a shattered sliding glass door, which appears to have been where the attackers entered the home.
How did Clarence Avant and Jacqueline Avant meet?
RELATED: What DMX's Documentary Will Reveal
The couple's love story was a huge part of The Black Godfather, the Netflix documentary on Clarence's contributions to music and politics. Clarence went all out to impress Jacqueline by taking her to meet celebrities like Harry Belafonte and getting into elite places like the Birdland jazz club. He also boasted about the amount of money he made.
"He'd always have a car pick me up. And I thought, 'Who is this guy?'" Jacqueline said in the documentary. "And then one day, I guess he was really trying to win me over. And for some reason he mentioned…how much he had paid the Internal Revenue Service. I guess he was trying to tell me how much [money] he must have made."
"I told you, life begins with a number and it ends with a number," Clarence joked in response. "Life is about numbers."
They eventually wed and moved to LA, two things he promised his friend Quincy Jones he would never do. But he says Jacqueline made it worth it.
Her daughter speaks on Jacqueline Avant's impact
The couple's only daughter Nicole spoke of her mother's legacy in the past. She says Jacqueline was the pillar of their family and credits her for their entry into the world of art and entertainment.
"Well, they've been married for 52 years, and my mom is really the one who brought to my father and our family the love and passion and importance of the arts and culture and entertainment," she told NBC News. "While my father was in it, making all the deals, my mother was the one who gave me, for example, my love of literature, my love of filmmaking, my love of storytelling."
"Her bringing that energy and her passion for the arts kind of kept my dad balanced," she added. "She's the umbrella in his life."

Paula White Just Told Another Lie Out of Hell by Saying Christians Who Don't Vote for Trump Will 'Have to Stand Accountable Before God'
Pastor Paula White delivers the benediction at the close of the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Monday, July 18, 2016. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
We as conservative Bible-believing Christians get it, considering that the people running against President Trump on the Democratic side are led by a homosexual man married to a man, and all of the candidates are supportive of homosexuality and homosexual marriage and abortion, with one saying churches ought to lose their tax exempt status if they stand against the abomination of homosexuality and homosexual marriage. Compared to what the Democratic party has going on, it would be better to vote for the unwise, impetuous President Trump because of his far better track record in protecting religious rights, standing against abortion, and standing with Israel even though he obviously tragically supports homosexuality and homosexual marriage like Obama. But to put God Almighty in Heaven in your push to try to get people to vote for a presidential candidate, it's not only a lie but is sacrilegious, foolish, and unwise. And I find it amusing that a so-called "prophetess" and "pastor" who is living in open adultery can tell people that if they don't vote for a certain candidate they are going to stand accountable before God when she will definitely stand accountable before God. Also, I find it amusing that the chairman of Trump's evangelical advisory board and his other spiritual advisers can tell everybody what Trump wants them to tell everybody but they can't tell Trump anything. Like Gen. Kelly said today, he warned president Trump that he would be impeached if he hired a 'yes man'. Sad to say, it appears to be only 'yes men' and one 'yes woman' on the president's advisory board.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."

Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.
The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.
of cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her.
"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,"
"Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an Employee"


Netflix has been forced to deny rumours that it is cracking down on customers who use virtual private networks (VPNs) to watch shows which aren't licensed for their country reports The Guardian.
Various people outside the United States who hold accounts with the streaming video giant use VPNs to get around the geo-locking and make it appear they are accessing the service from an IP address within the United States. Doing this allows someone with a Netflix account living outside North America to access the same Netflix titles the average U.S. resident sees.
The reason people opt for VPNs with Netflix is usually for reasons of accessibility and pricing – the selection of titles available on both Netflix and other SVOD services in other countries is often only a small fraction of the range of titles available on U.S. Netflix. Using VPNs for such access is not illegal, these users pay for the service like everyone else, however it is a violation of Netflix's terms of service.
This is not an insignificant audience we're talking about either. In Australia alone, it's estimated between 50,000 and 200,000 people (in a country of 23.7 million) have active U.S. Netflix accounts despite the service not being available in that country until this coming March. As Netflix pushes hard into global markets, many have feared that pressure from major studios and distributors may force it to close the loopholes that have allowed people living or traveling outside the United States to access the streaming service's U.S. content.
Reports emerged on TorrentFreak and Variety over the weekend that Netflix is starting to block subscribers who access its service using VPNs and other tools that bypass geolocation restrictions, and is reportedly testing a variety of blocking methods. At least one service has seen some of its clients lose access, and they along with various other providers are fighting back and suggesting workarounds to their customers.
EnGadget got in touch with Netflix who says there has been 'no change' in the way it handles VPNs and that "Netflix simply uses industry standard methods to prevent illegal VPN use".

Vickers' Vancouver-based group is proposing a 1,600-mile railroad from Fort McMurray, Alberta, into Alaska. About 240 miles of the rail would be laid in the state. The railroad would primarily transport bitumen from Alberta's tar sands to Delta Junction, where the project's creators hope to tap into TAPS, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
That version of the project would depend on the Alaska Railroad Corporation extending its rail line 80 miles from North Pole to Delta Junction. Vickers thinks it could inject up to a million barrels a day through the pipeline down to Valdez.
Is it too good to be true? Well, there are some major safety concerns when transporting oil by rail that weren't covered in Vickers' presentation to the Senate and House Transportation Committees, although he did say that the rail was being designed using the best technology available.
The project is still awaiting a "pre-feasibility study." Once completed, G7G hopes to be able to raise $40 million to complete a full feasibility study. Vickers said researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the University of Michigan are investigating the potential for the railroad to transport minerals from Yukon mines.
AECOM Canada, a technology company, has already said it wants 10 percent equity in the project, according to Vickers' presentation. First Nations tribes and the six tribes between the border and Delta Junction would hold a 50 percent stake in a so-called Aboriginal Alliance Trust. The trust would disseminate dividends among the tribes. The remaining 50 percent would be held by G7G.
The idea of shipping a million barrels of sticky bitumen a day via a rail line is unprecedented. Jean-Francois Arsenault, of the Ottawa-based infrastructure development firm, told the Edmonton Journal last January that G7G's single-track version of the project would require 10 trains a day, each pulling 200 cars, to transport 1.5 million barrels. Breaking that down even further, he said it would require unloading 200 freight trains every 45 minutes.
But a pipeline from Fort McMurray, ground zero for Alberta's controversial tar sands, to a port or refinery does not exist and plans for one still face intense scrutiny and opposition from environmentalists.
President Barack Obama rejected the application for the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would take tar sands from Alberta and crude oil from the Bakken region down to refineries in Texas. A State Department environmental report released Friday says the pipeline wouldn't have a major impact on carbon emissions, however.
In the meanwhile, Vickers said proposed pipeline projects like Keystone, Enbridge and Kinder Morgan can't do what a railroad can do.
Vickers said "if all those pipelines went ahead, they'd be filled to capacity within 15 years and still need extra." Alberta's Energy Resources Conservation Board predicts tar sands will make up 88 percent of the province's predicted oil production of 3.4 million barrels per day.
There is some oil being transported out of Alberta by rail, but U.S. and Canadian authorities recently warned that the practice is unsafe. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada issued a series of recommendations to address safety risks involved in transporting oil by rail. Crude oil shipments by rail have increased over 400 percent since 2005, according to the Association of American Railroad's Annual Report of Hazardous Materials. Several explosive rail accidents have been reported.
Feige suggested they consider running a rail line directly to Valdez or do some prerefining to get it closer to the consistency of crude oil, which the TAPS could handle.
"Those kind of early discussions have happened, otherwise our plan wouldn't have gotten this far, but I really appreciate the information and that was part of this trip to touch base," Vickers responded.
Despite some of the lesser developed details, the presentation struck a chord with Sen. Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks.

in 1978, seventeen year old punk rockers Peter Bywaters and Del Strangefish decided to form a punk band and PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES are born. After a couple of rehearsals they made their first recording Elvis Is Dead, which appeared on the Vaultage '78 compilation of Brighton new wave bands. Radio 1 DJ John Peel loved the song instantly and offered the band a live session. The success was breathtaking and PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES became one of the hottest unsigned bands in the UK overnight.
Their first single 'Banned From The Pubs' followed fast, and fans and press freaked out in equal measure. From that moment everything went crazy; sold out concert halls in England and Europe and their big success in the media pushed their debut album Pissed And Proud to #1 in the U.K. independent charts.
Directly after that, their 2nd album The Mating Sounds Of South American Frogs was released in 1983 – a must-have for every record collection – and sold more than 100,000 copies, resulting in invitations to perform from far and wide. THE TEST TUBES BABIES have continued to play shows all over the world and cemented their status as one of the most brilliant and funniest live bands in punk rock culture.
A few bass players and drummers have served their time in the band, but the songwriters Peter and Del have always remained the foundation and together they wrote and recorded a long list of classic albums like Soberphobia (1986), and the brilliant Supermodels (1995).
In 2018 PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES signed with Arising Empire Records recruiting Nick Abnett and Sam Fuller on bass and drums respectively resulting in their now critically-acclaimed album »That Shallot« which went on to receive 4 and 5 Star reviews worldwide.
Fast forward to the present day…. Against all odds the band have pulled the rabbit out of the hat and come up trumps again with their best record to date the 14-track »FUCTIFANO« (a phrase you may hear from a Scotsman whilst asking for directions 'F***ed If I Know'). The first single is the high-energy track 'Facebook Loser' – a sad tale of the insane world of a Facebook addict (we all know one). While the second single is accompanied by an amazing video for 'Queen of F***ing Everything' filmed by Mark Richards who directed the 'Crap Californian Punk Band' video, which is currently at 80,000 hits on YouTube.
On the 6th March 2020 punk rock legends PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES are proud to present to you their latest and greatest set of recordings FUCTIFANO released on Arising Empire.

Batula Abdulkadir, a student at Pima Community College's Desert Vista Campus, performs a monologue shaped from an interview transcription of former inhabitants of Tucson's oldest barrios on May 16.

Neto's Tucson: Student monologes explore our living history
Ernesto Portillo Jr. Arizona Daily Star
Ernesto Portillo Jr.
Tucson is one of the oldest communities in the country. Heck, people have lived in this desert valley of ours for more than 3,000 years. Probably longer than that.
Bet most Tucsonans don't know this bit of trivia. It's not taught.
Our long history surrounds us. History, the memories of the everyday lives of people who called Tucson their home, is a graveyard-dead subject to many. For others, it remains alive.
Last Saturday was one of those living days.
The day started by celebrating the valley's agricultural past on a patch of the west bank of the Santa Cruz River. The nascent Mission Garden Project, on South Mission Road at the foot of Sentinel Peak, just north of West 22nd Street, is a re-creation of a colonial Spanish garden.
It was here where the first Spanish colonizers made contact with the Pimas who lived in small clusters along the life-giving river. The Spanish established Mission San Agustín at the base of "A" Mountain in the mid-1700s, before the founding of the Tucson presidio in 1775 across the river.
Inside the walled garden, the Friends of Tucson's Birthplace honored our historical past by celebrating St. Isidore, the Catholic patron saint of farmers, whose feast day was May 15. But the Mission Garden is more than recognizing the Spanish and European aspects of our history. The fruit trees, some of which are heritage descendants brought by Jesuit explorer Eusebio Francisco Kino, also reflect our Native American, Chinese, African-American and Chicano heritage.
In a similar multlcultural celebration later that same day, I joined other Tucsonenses at the Sosa-Carrillo-Frémont House Museum on South Granada Avenue, on the grounds of the Tucson Convention Center. We were there to hear the oral histories of people who once lived in the downtown barrios, but whose lives and homes were razed to build the cold, brick complex in the late 1960s.
The stories of the elders were delivered by the voices of nine young students from the Trio Upward Bound Program at Pima Community College's Desert Vista Campus: Idaena Castro, Monica Tan, Karelia Gil, Ruth Ballesteros-Saenz, Diana Vega, Haredo Mohamed, Mana Abdi, Batula Abdulkadir and Amina Shiwoko.
The students, Latinas, Asian and Muslim, recited monologues, shaped from interviews they conducted with the former residents of Viejo and El Hoyo barrios.
"Oral history has power," said Milta Ortiz of Borderlands Theater, who taught the Pima class "Theatricalizing Oral Histories."
While oral history, handed down generation by generation, possesses that power it acquires over time, it is absent from conventional historical conversation, Ortiz said. The oral history of Tucson's ethnic minority communities was ignored, and only in recent years have there been attempts to document those stories.
"The monologues honor that history," Ortiz added.
Much of the beauty of that afternoon in the backyard of the Sosa-Carrillo home, which was built in the 1870s, occupied for generations by Tucson families, and now managed by the Arizona Historical Society, was the diversity of faces of the students who presented the oral histories.
Four students were born in Africa. One student was the daughter of Cambodian refugees, and the four others were Chicanas whose roots extend south.
While their backgrounds varied, the students were united through their exploration of the history of people's lives and their memories of their families, neighbors and businesses that formed la calle, a name some residents give the barrio. This experience piqued the students' interest in exploring their families' histories.
Ortiz said, "They really didn't know each other or anything about Tucson, and this class brought them together, establishing new friends."
These barrio stories did not end at the conclusion of the presentation. The monologues, which hopefully will include the voices of the Chinese and African-American residents who also lived in the barrios, will form the basis of a Borderlands Theater play next year.
That's living and breathing history for Tucsonans to take and share, and to encourage others to discover theirs.

Meghan Valencia, the wife of injured Orlando Police Officer Kevin Valencia, is suing the estate of the man who shot her husband and the owner of the apartment complex where he was injured, saying the incident would not have happened if it followed proper security measures.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Kevin Valencia, seeks damages in excess of $15,000, alleging negligence on the part of the owner of Westbrook Apartments, SPT WAH Westbrook, LLC, and the apartment's managing company, Pinnacle Property Management Services, LLC. The complex and its owner should not have allowed Gary Lindsey, 35, to reside in the building because of his extensive criminal history, the lawsuit says.
In June, Lindsey shot through the front door of Apartment 127 at responding police officers who came to investigate a call that Lindsey battered the mother of his two children. Kevin Valencia was shot in the head, sparking a 21-hour standoff with police as Lindsey retreated into the apartment.
When officers breached the apartment late the next day, they discovered Lindsey had killed himself and four children inside the home.
Kevin Valencia remains in a coma following the encounter, and spent the remainder of the year at a medical center in Atlanta before being transferred to Central Florida in February.
The lawsuit describes Lindsey as a "violent career criminal, with multiple arrests and/or convictions for violent crimes." At the time of the shooting, Lindsey was on probation from a 2008 Volusia County case, where he was accused of domestic battery, arson and fleeing law enforcement. He received a 10-year suspended prison sentence, which was never enforced despite him violating his probation multiple times.
While responding to the domestic violence call in June, the lawsuit alleges a key to the apartment given to Valencia from Lindsey's girlfriend didn't work when he tried opening the door. The woman, Ciara Lopez, told him the lock "often did not work correctly," the complaint states. Previously released records say Valencia thought Lindsey may have been holding the lock shut.
Because of that, "Kevin was forced to attempt to kick in the door," the complaint states, which put him in a position to be struck by Lindsey's bullet.
The suit says the companies were negligent by failing to take proper precautions to protect people on the property "from dangers which were reasonably foreseeable" and should have known Lindsey "constituted an unreasonable and dangerous risk to tenants, tenant's guests, invitees and others" at the apartment complex.
The companies did not run a criminal background check on Lindsey and nor did they provide working locks and keys to apartment, the suit alleges.
The complaint says Lopez, who was not named as a defendant, did not put Lindsey on the lease.
Attorneys for SPT and Pinnacle were not listed Thursday. A call to Pinnacle's administrative office was not immediately returned.


The Learning Management System (LMS) has been constantly evolving over the past twenty years. Originally, the focus was always on features such as user management, reporting, and course capabilities. However, a focus on features fails to address one of the most important aspects of any system: usability.
An organisation uses an LMS to train its learners, and so an LMS is only useful to an organisation if it is used by a significant number of learners. For a significant number of learners to use an online learning platform, you need an easy to use LMS – learners who find it difficult to use will immediately switch off. Learning Light believes that the most immediate and important aspect of usability is the User Interface (UI). The LMS UI is something that, with the new Enable, Virtual College have perfected. It is something that was originally brushed aside in the LMS evolution race, but elearning companies have now realised its importance – and Enable is in first place.
The User Interface of an LMS is how the learner interacts with the system. Icons, buttons, menus, search bars, welcome screens and newsfeeds are just a few examples of the components that make up the user interface of modern systems. For LMS design to provide an effective learning experience, a learner's interaction with the system should be straight forward so that this interaction doesn't become a barrier to the learner's learning activities. A user interface should therefore be simple, attractive and intuitive. The mark of a good LMS UI is the elimination of any superfluous actions which the user must perform in order to interact with the LMS.
Enable's UI is simple because every call to action – such as navigating between pages and performing actions – is featured in the same place on each screen, and is always displayed as an arrow button which is invitingly clickable. This means that once a learner knows how to perform one action, they can perform every action: learner-system interaction made simple.
It is much easier for a learner who is looking for immediate information and learning in their LMS to find it if the screens they are presented with are not cluttered with unnecessary information and graphics. This has historically been a downfall of many LMS, whose pages were poorly laid out and designed. Each page of the Enable LMS design has been specially crafted to present the user with a highly consistent and simple layout. As each page features a similar layout, a learner can quickly and easily digest the new information which is presented to them on each page. The use of colours and metaphors within each page further focuses learner attention, and effectively focuses the learner's attention on learning.
Enable's new user interface is elegant and attractive. This helps draw the user towards desired actions and learning activities, and makes the platform more appealing to use, increasing learner uptake. Its aesthetic elegance echoes the simplicity of its design, forming a cohesion of style and substance which enables learners to immediately begin using, and start learning with, the Enable LMS.
The use of colour within Enable is striking and effective. By using bold, distinct colours and tiles on each screen – and using consistent colouring to highlight areas with similar themes and functions – Virtual College have greatly reduced the time that it takes a learner to understand the layout of their learning management system.
The appearance of Enable is one of its UI's strongest points. A simple and elegant design has eliminated the amount of time a learner must spend getting to grips with the functionality of the LMS, and makes it feel incredibly familiar. This is the mark of a great UI, as the user is able to interact immediately with the LMS, without any graphical interference in this process.
Enable's is also designed with mobile devices in mind. This means that the UI retains all of its features and functionality when resized between different screen sizes. By using a simple and colourful design, Virtual College have managed to maintain an intuitive consistency between devices so that a user who can use Enable on one device can use it on any device.
Enable's UI is intuitive because it uses a familiar and straight-forward menu structure, which is consistent throughout the entire system. This menu is always present on the left-hand side of the screen and allows the learner to easily navigate to any area with a single click. This means that a learner can engage in any activity without the need for time-consuming and confusing page navigation, as well as giving the learner the confidence that they know where every feature is.
This menu is present in both the learner's user interface, and the administrator's user interface. The selection of actions is changes appropriately to the user's privileges, but the menu structure remains the same, making changing between roles seamless.
The thing that makes Enable really intuitive to me is that the bigger the tile, the more relevant it is. For example, when I'm on the dashboard, the actions most relevant to the screen I have selected are the largest – Learning, Audits etc., whilst the menu icons that navigate me away from the page are smaller. When I navigate to the Learning screen, the focal point becomes my available elearning courses. This is a simple but extremely effective point of design, and it means that a user is always drawn to the action they are most likely to require, making learner-LMS interaction intuitive.
Enable's user interface is the best LMS user interface that Learning Light have seen to date. It is immediately eye-catching and inviting, and it is the combination of it being simple, attractive and intuitive that makes learner-LMS interaction so easy. Easy learner-LMS interaction is the holy grail of LMS UI, so it is impressive that Virtual College have achieved this by concentrating on, developing and enhancing Enable's most important interface features.

Fire Fight Australia was a fundraising benefit concert held on Sunday, 16 February 2020, as a means for raising funds for the national bushfire relief following the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, known as the 'Black Summer'. It was held at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia. It ran for 10 hours and was broadcast live on television by the Seven Network and Foxtel. A related album by various artists, Artists Unite for Fire Fight: Concert for National Bushfire Relief  was released by Sony in March.

Funds raised
The event was mainly organised by the Australian music industry spearheaded by Paul Dainty and the TEG Dainty music group. They aimed to keep the overhead costs as low as possible so that as much profit as possible would go the affiliated charities. Almost all of these costs were waived or heavily discounted.

The event raised $9.85 million for bushfire relief.

directed electronics, engine, install, Installation, mazda, miata, motocarr, remote start, starter, tips - September 30, 2015
What is a remote start?
Wikipedia sums it up as a radio controlled device, which is installed in a vehicle by the factory or an aftermarket installer to preheat or cool the vehicle before the owner gets into it. Once activated, by pushing a button on a special keychain remote, it starts the vehicle automatically for a predetermined time. Different models have keyless entry as well. Most newer vehicles need some kind of bypass module to bypass the factory anti-theft system, so the vehicle can be started without the ignition key in the ignition, this is bypassed only to start the vehicle, which after it is running returns to its original state. Having a remote starter installed in a vehicle will usually not void the factory warranty when installed properly. Couldn't have said it better myself :)
What to consider when buying a remote start.
You want to make sure the device you purchase will work for the areas/scenarios you are most frequently in. For what we need, we can use a unit that does not have as much "range" as other units because rarely are our cars parked blocks away from where we are, typically they are always in our line of sight. That being said some of the more basic units that operate in distances of 500-1000ft will be perfectly fine. City dwellers and or people who work in large buildings may need to step up to units that have a few thousand foot range, not necessarily because they will be one mile away, but rather because they need a unit that has a stronger transmitting signal.
With remote starts you definitely get what you pay for! Yes a lot of companies outsource or buy parts from China for remote starts but chances are some of the more well known/established brands in the industry have some R&D behind their products which will definitely put them heads and shoulders above the rest! We are a dealer for Directed's Python and Avital lines of remote starters and security products, but have also had good luck installing other brands such as Viper, Autostart, Clifford, AstroStart, Automate, Compustar, Omega, Voxx, and more.
Time to get geared up for the remote start season! What better way to shake the rust off than on a 1990-1997 NA Mazda Miata. No bypasses/immobilizers needed to get the remote start functioning. However, if you have a manual transmission car a relay will be needed if you don't want to completely bypass the clutch switch to start the car. You will have to toss in a regular single pole double throw(SPDT) relay to simulate this.
Here is the unit we are going to be installing, Ready Remote Remote Start model number 24921 by Directed Electronics. It's a great unit for this particular application because it's essentially just a remote starter with the ability to only unlock doors. It's not a full keyless entry unit like the Avital/Python 4103 which would be the next notch up in their product line. For this install being that our car has manual locks, we are going to skip over that part of the install.
Part 2, Installation

That looks like a neat little kit especially with winter on the way! Do you find you get interference on the range if you are parked up near a communications tower or mast or are they ok?

Q: Can i get a notification, when a new day begins? In Cocoa, is there a notification i can register for, that informs me, when a new day begins - at 00h:00min:01s in the morning?

A: As mentioned by others, in iOS 8 you can use NSCalendarDayChangedNotification. In terms of how to do that, this post gives you more info.
Essentially NSCalendarDayChangedNotification requires that you go to your appDelegate file and insert the below code in app (adapted from guide for Swift 3):
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.dayChangedOperations(notif:)), name:NSNotification.Name.NSCalendarDayChanged, object:nil)

Where "ViewController" is the classname of one of my classes and "dayChangedOperations" is the name of the function that I want to run whenever the day changes.
Count Days Since Last Change
Note that all you get from this is an alert that the day changed. You are not given the number of days since the app last ran. So remember to save the date to a userDefault each time this function runs, so you can use it for comparison later.

A: If it is for iPhone development, you can also listen for a UIApplicationSignificantTimeChangeNotification. It gets posted on more occasions than the arrival of midnight, but when you receive one, you can simply check if you are on or near midnight.
For Mac OS X, you would have to do what Tom Dalling suggests but you should also keep track of changes to the system clock yourself (in order to update your timer) as well as changes to the current time zone.

A: There's no notification that I know of. You can get a timer to fire whenever a new day begins like so:
[[NSTimer alloc] initWithFireDate:midnight
                         interval:60 * 60 * 24 //one day, in seconds
                           target:someObj
                         selector:@selector(someSelector)
                         userInfo:nil
                          repeats:YES];

The trick is getting an NSDate set to midnight. Check the Date and Time Programming Guide for how to do that with date components and the like.
EDIT: see this question for how to get the midnight NSDate.

A: As of iOS8, you can also directly listen to NSCalendarDayChangedNotification.


Physiotherapists, sports massage specialists and osteopaths often take people complaining about their problem areas as their cue to hand out their card! These simple silhouette standard Business Cards highlight all the main ones in bright red, reassuring patients that you can not only pinpoint the problem, but fix it too.
Patsy Stone might like to party too much but she has a most definite – and defiant – style. These cards are the kind of design I would imagine she would give out at a professional meeting. They are simple yet elegant with a lot of attention to typographic detail.

Q: Unity2D: Объект игнорирует коллайдеры при MoveTowards Программируя в Unity мне стало необходимо сделать перемещение объекта по точкам. Для этого я использовал MoveTowards. Таких объектов на сцене несколько, все они подразумеваются, как люди. Но вот незадача: этот объект напрочь игнорирует другие такие же объекты, хотя на каждом висит и Collider, и RigidBody. Эти объекты, то есть люди, даже игнорируют другие объекты, созданные мной в качестве препятствий с помощью стандартных ассетов Unity, например, квадрат. Все объекты находятся на одном значении Z.
В чем я допускаю ошибку?
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class TestMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Transform[] _waypoints;
    [SerializeField] int _speed;

    private int _currentWaypointIndex;

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (_waypoints != null)
        {
            if (_currentWaypointIndex == _waypoints.Length)
            {
                _waypoints = null;
                return;
            }

            Transform target = _waypoints[_currentWaypointIndex];

            if (transform.position == target.position)
            {
                _currentWaypointIndex++;
            }

            transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, _speed * Time.deltaTime);

        }
    }
}

A: Суть проблемы заключалась в неправильном подходе к перемещению объекта, о чем мне сказал человек в комментарии. Я также нашел хороший ответ, который не сразу понял, в котором хорошо объясняются азы перемещения объекта: https://ru.stackoverflow.com/questions/936026/Правильная-реализация-передвижения-персонажа


Another high school record at 1500 meters.
Mary Cain took more than six seconds off her U.S. high school 1500-meter record on Friday night at the USATF Oxy High Performance meet in California, clocking 4:04.62 and achieving an "A" qualifying standard for this summer's world championships in Moscow. She demolished her own scholastic record of 4:10.77. She's now the fastest high school "metric miler" in history by nearly ten seconds. And if Cain could somehow be allowed to run the 1500 at the NCAA Championships this spring, against the cream of the collegians, she'd be a solid favorite to win.
She's surpassing expectations with each race. It may seem repetitive for us to keep reporting that Mary Cain steals the spotlight from professional runners at one major track meet after another, but we'll have to write it until it stops occurring. On Friday at Occidental College, she came from seventh place just before the top of the stretch and passed runner after runner until finishing just short of victory, taking the runner-up spot, just 2/100ths of a second behind winner Katie Mackey.
The opportunity to run so fast almost got lost in traffic. "I was thinking, 'I gotta get around,'" Cain told Flotrack. With about 300 meters remaining, "people were swinging wide and I kept getting boxed in." Finally, space opened up on the track with 100 meters remaining. That suggests, with clearer sailing, she could run even faster, doesn't it?
Her coach, Alberto Salazar, thinks so. In a post-race interview, he mentioned 4:02 as a possible season-ending time for Cain. But on Friday night at Oxy, he said, "I thought it was going to be won somewhere around 4:07." He'd told Cain "that she was capable of running 4:05," but he didn't anticipate a 4:05 race.
Salazar says Cain's races "are still way beyond her workouts," that the training sessions don't indicate the kind of race times she produces, but that they are improving.
Taking little credit for himself, Salazar seems happy and feels privileged just to be present at the manifestation of an amazing middle-distance runner (Cain turned 17 on May 3).
Cain will run a 1500 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon on June 1, and the august company there could surely pull her to an even swifter time. Salazar believes "she's got a shot at making a team," and mentions both the "senior" world championships, where she might keep a 2012 Olympian off the U.S. squad, and the junior world championships, where she'd be a solid medal contender.
In any case, she'll race in Europe this summer. "She'll have fun," Salazar promises. And she'll have memories quite rare for a 17-year-old.


Still … working on trip logistics.
Still … over 30° in the shade.
Still … waiting to pick up our trailer – we're having a few renovations done.
Still … challenging the 'oomins to play 'spot-the-difference.
Still … not … oh, he moved!
'Boof' is another neighbourhood cat, like Coco, who has decided to make sure we don't lose our 'staffpersons' certification. It appears he has the summer season and Coco does the winter shift.
Hugs on the stillness of the heat.
Poor Boof will be so discommoded when you leave on your trip!
I know. His sacrifice humbles us.
Good for Bouf and Coco. Gotta keep you on your cat-loving toes.
We're taking a notebook computer with google maps as well – we're great believers in multiple redundancies.
Gotta have those multiple redundancies. 🙂 Safe and fun journey to you and the Missus.
So cute and so hot.
