Kamala Harris Visits NC to Win Black Vote, African-American Leaders Say She Doesn't Stand for Them

By L.A. Williams
Democratic vice-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, visited a historically Black university and a minority-owned barbershop Monday as she swept into North Carolina on a mission to win over the state's nearly 1.5 African-American voters. The U.S. senator from California visited White's Barber and Beauty Shop in Raleigh and spoke at Shaw University, telling her audience that the November presidential race is about "who we are, what we stand for, and who we want to be."
But more than a few African-American leaders across the state have made it clear that Harris does not stand for them.
"I call her 'Miss lock up a brother' for when she was the AG in California, a negro knew, a Black man knew that he was dead in the water … if you appear before her, because she took pride in locking up Black folk. And all of a sudden she's trying to be sister girl," Bishop Patrick Wooden Sr. of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, told his congregation on Aug. 16.
He challenged Harris' record on criminal justice and called out her support for the LGBT agenda, showing his parishioners a video of Harris performing a same-sex wedding.
"Anybody who's trying to turn America into Sodom and Gomorrah is not good for this nation," Wooden said. "I like what Maya Angelou says. She says, 'when people show you who they are, believe them.' That's Kamala."

For members of Conservative Clergy of Color, a recently formed coalition of African-American pastors, Harris has shown herself as someone who has lauded the "brilliance" of Black Lives Matter founders even as the group's protests have led to arson, vandalism and deadly violence.
"It's extremely disheartening to see a U.S. Senator and a candidate for vice president give such high praise to a group that is trying to destroy our country," Bishop Aubrey Shines, CCC co-founder, told The Christian Post.
Sen. Harris told attendees at the NAACP national convention that she prefers to interpret the protests as "an essential component of evolution in our country." And she called Black Lives Matter "the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system."
"Does Sen. Harris not watch the news? Has she not seen the businesses burning, the livelihoods that have been wrecked by this organization?" Shines asked. "People are terrified, but we have to praise the organizers because it's the cool thing to do."
Sen. Harris has also provoked the ire of African-American pro-life leaders.

The Rev. Johnny Hunter, national director of the Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN) and pastor of worship at Cliffdale Community Church in Fayetteville, has long proclaimed that abortion has been used as a tool for Black genocide.
"The time has come for us to realize that we, our people, are no longer being illegally lynched one or two at a time at the end of a dirt road. It's time for us to realize that our people are being womb lynched!" Hunter has preached, pointing out that most abortion businesses are strategically placed in Black neighborhoods.
Harris has benefited from hundreds of thousands of dollars in political donations from Planned Parenthood. Further, as Attorney General, she went out of her way to make pro-life investigator David Daleiden the first and only case of criminal enforcement of California's video recording law.
Daleiden, president of the Center for Medical Progress, told the media on Aug. 20 that Harris has a "radical disrespect and contempt for the First Amendment." After Daleiden captured footage of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby parts, Harris authorized a raid of his apartment to seize the means of publishing the videos.
"Harris is a rabid supporter of abortion rights, a champion of the LGBT agenda and believes the destructive BLM protests are essential," said the Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League. "It's not surprising that, despite the Biden campaign's $280 million in ads aimed at minority voters in swing states such as North Carolina, many Black leaders are not embracing her message."
"Our prayer is that regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or any other factor, voters use Scripture to evaluate candidates before casting their ballots next month. No candidate will satisfy the biblical principles perfectly. Still, even a cursory examination of each candidate's policy positions, as well as those of their political party, will reveal certain matters of fundamental moral and political import that Christians should not, must not, vote to support."

If you're outside on a cool day and suddenly feel a strange warmth, know that your guardian angel is somewhere close. Their presence can not only warm you but make you feel an unwarranted sense of happiness.
Surely you've noticed a pleasant, mysterious fragrance around yourself at least once, the source of which you could never explain. It's highly likely that your guardian angel is the culprit. Angels love attracting the attention of people via unusual smells.
If you find yourself in an urban setting or there's no feathered animals around you of any kind but your eyes still glimpse a white feather, this is definitely an angelic sign. Through it your guardian angel is trying to tell you that they are looking over you and supporting you, no matter what hardships appear in your life.
If you find yourself in a dark room and then a light or shadow suddenly appears, don't worry. It's most likely just your guardian angel being nearby at that very moment, trying to give you some kind of sign. He may also appear because you yourself have summoned him.
If you hear a quiet voice while there's no one around you, there's no need to fear or think that you're going crazy. The words spoken are coming from your guardian angel, who is trying to guide you in some way. Sometimes you may not even hear a voice but simply have a certain thought occur to you unexpectedly, which our guardian angel is sending to help you.
Have you ever happened upon a rainbow at a moment when it would seem least probable? If so, rest assured that this is some kind of angelic intervention. The divine messengers use the colors whenever they wish to impart certain signs to people.

The multimedia foolishness of Keith Pille, for all to see
WHAT IS ALL THIS?
MY COMICS, MUSIC, AND STUFF
MY WRITING AND CLIPS AND SUCH (AND PODCASTS!)
MY RADIANT TWITTER PRESENCE
WE'VE BEEN HAD
Trailer Mama
Disc 1 Track 3
"Trailer Mama" takes a baton handoff from "Gas Girl," almost sounding like it's picking up a beat the latter had dropped. An interesting thing happens with the chords between the two songs, too; "Gas Girl" moves between E, D, and A, while the main riff in "Trailer Mama" is an extremely hepped-up guitar moving through D, F, and A. So, similar enough to almost sound like it's the same song being continued, but different enough to sound kind of wrong if that's the case. Which is a neat trick, because if "Gas Girl" is a fun and lighthearted song about a crush, "Trailer Mama" is an urgent, throbbing song about we-gotta-act-on-this-RIGHT-NOW lust.
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years now, and I still couldn't tell you exactly what settings and parameters Henneman and Parr messed with to get the specific guitar tone of this song's riff; I just know that I can't think of any other song that so successfully uses the mere tone of a goddamned guitar to communicate urgency (one other thing I know: that it was intentional. Henneman's Instagram account is a delight, consisting of maybe 20% pictures of his dog, 20% documentation of the life of a touring musician, and 60% obsessive fussing over guitars, amps, pedals, and combinations thereof in search of specific tones).
The jump from lighthearted crush to urgent, throbbing lust while almost sounding like the same song is jarring. So is the switch in lyrical content. The song's narrator isn't making a goofball out of himself at a gas station; he's urging a woman with a husband and a trailer and a family to fuck him, assuring her that it won't be a crime if they can pass it off as love. The question of whether it's an invented character or Henneman himself talking once again raises its head here (if this and "Gas Girl" are both direct autobiographical statements, this was a weird time in his life). A song with the title "Trailer Mama" seems like a tarpit of class-based sneering, but Henneman's accent and delivery perform a neat trick here; he's calling someone a trailer mama but addressing her as an equal (albeit an equal he desperately wants to bone). This is a thing that'll happen time and again through the Bottle Rockets- the band's specifics and general vibe allow them to investigate the lives of the rural Midwest in a way that sounds sympathetic and also genuinely lived-in, almost unheard of in indie rock, which I guess this technically is.
I keep calling the song "jarring" and "weird" next to "Gas Girl," but I want to make it clear that I just mean the transitional effect, and that I think it's intentional, and that think it rules. To bang on about sequencing once again, this album's first three songs build on each other perfectly, making you feel like you've accepted a ride from a guy who seemed nice at first but has been stomping on the gas steadily since you got in, taking you at increasingly frightening speed off to god knows where.
One last note: the liner notes credit Jeff Tweedy with backup vocals here. They're surprisingly subdued and inobtrusive.

In contrast to the more formal psychodiagnostic assessments usually requested by psychiatrists, lawyers, and child protection agencies, therapeutic assessment is marked by collaboration between the assessor and the client, with the aim of a greater depth of understanding of an individual's worries, moods, and relationship or work problems.
At the outset, the client and the assessor meet together to discuss the client's individual difficulties and to frame specific questions to be addressed in the psychological testing component of the assessment. At the completion of the testing, a further meeting is held to summarize the results and discuss the findings in an interactive way with the client. A letter is subsequently provided to the client summarizing the most salient and pertinent issues that have arisen.
The deeper understanding developed by the assessment typically provides the client with greater insight into his or her difficulties, with the potential to initiate positive change either in a self help way, or with the assistance of a therapist. A follow up meeting approximately three months later allows for a review of the change process so far, and for addressing any questions that may have arisen in the interim.
With children, we encourage the participation of the parents, to the extent of sitting in on the psychological testing component, if appropriate. With teenagers, the balance between a teenager's right to privacy and the parents' wish to be involved is negotiated at the outset. In lieu of a letter, a story or fable is provided to the child as a reference point for further reflection on his or her difficulties.
The cost of a therapeutic assessment ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on the nature of the concerns. Please Contact The Willow Centre with any questions or to book a Therapeutic Assessment.

Dyslexia Awareness Month
October is in the United States. Let's deepen our understanding of this language-based challenge and try to raise awareness in our community.
Eight-year-old Evan is one of the brightest children in his third-grade class. He has a wonderful vocabulary and knows everything there is to know about baseball—he can even tell you who played in each of the last ten World Series games and who won. But when it comes to reading about baseball—or anything else—Evan has a lot of trouble. It takes him a long time to read each word, and even longer to read whole sentences. He often has to guess at how you say a word—and sometimes his guess is wrong. Reading out loud is especially stressful and embarrassing. His teacher recently told Evan's parents that she thinks he might have dyslexia.
Most people assume that part of being smart is being able to read well. About 100 years ago, though, doctors figured out that some people, even some very smart people who do really well at many other things, have trouble learning to read. This difficulty with reading is called dyslexia.

Harmony Public Schools uniform store restocked with new inventory
Due to high demand, many uniform sizes quickly were sold out shortly after we launched our new online uniform store Thursday.
Stock shortage is not expected to be an ongoing issue. Fortunately, our uniform supplier has informed that they have added new inventory and are continuing to work to provide additional color and size choices as quickly as possible.
Shop now to get your uniforms purchases in time for the first day of school and take advantage of these offers:

Two Ways to Shop Your School's Uniform Store
Click 'Uniforms' under the PARENTS tab of your child's campus website.
Find Your School Website

Search for your campus name and city on the 'Shop By School' page.
Go to 'Shop By School'
The size and color I want are still out of stock – what can I do?
Our partners at French Toast are working hard to get more colors and sizes in stock as soon as possible. To get an automatic update when your uniform preference is ready to purchase, just enter your email in the 'Notify Me' box under the product 'Out of Stock' message.

– is something wrong?
There might be a minor color variation between the preview image on the French Toast website and the images above, but not by much. If the uniform you're selecting doesn't look right, just make sure you have the correct dress code selected from the drop down near the top of your screen.
Why can't I just order uniforms directly at my campus anymore?
Unfortunately, year-round direct sales of school uniforms can be a complicated and time-consuming process for an individual campus. We'd rather put our team's talents to use by serving our students. By partnering with an industry-leading school uniform supply company like French Toast, Harmony is able to keep uniform costs down for families while freeing up school staff (and storage space!) to focus on the other needs of our schools.
No returns or exchanges.
Uniforms will no longer be available for purchase at campuses.

Un-opened negative cans, slides wrapped in small packages, tiny pieces of paper. Part of my family record my mother decided to throw away.
Between silences, secrets and oblivions there are many stories and with them I built and rebuilt my own.


Ouya, maker of a bite-sized game console that runs Google's Android operating system, wants to take a bite out the video game triumvirate of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. The console is already sold out on Amazon and Target's website, The Associated Press reported.
The console, which went on sale Tuesday for $100, lets players try games for free before buying them, a selling point Ouya (pronounced oo-yah) CEO Julie Uhrman often makes to underscore that gamers who use consoles made by "the big three" can't test games before they spend as much as $60 to purchase them.
So far, Ouya's pitch seems to be working. The underdog console had sold out on Amazon.com and on Target's website by Tuesday afternoon. It is available at other outlets, including Best Buy and GameStop.
There are nearly 180 games available for Ouya, ranging from the likes of "Crazy Cat Lady" to the more established "Final Fantasy III" from Square Enix. The company says more games are on the way. There are also some non-gaming apps, such as online music service TuneIn Radio.
The games are sold through Ouya's storefront, not Google Play, the app store where people buy games for Android tablets and mobile devices. Pricing is left up to individual game developers; many games are in the single digits. "Final Fantasy" is an exception at $16. Ouya takes a 30 percent cut from the game developers.
While you won't find "Grand Theft Auto IV" or the latest "Call of Duty" among the available titles, there are plenty of others from independent developers whose games may never make it onto the dominant consoles, Microsoft's Xbox, Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's Wii.
"I don't think it's ever really going to challenge the big three, but it offers a lot to the more casual gamer," says Anthony Yacullo, a self-described "gadget geek" from Lawrenceville, N.J. Like thousands of other gamers and game developers, Yacullo already has an Ouya. He contributed at least $95 to the company through crowdfunding website, Kickstarter.
"When I'm out on the road for work and come home, I don't want to play `Call of Duty," he says. Rather, Yacullo says he looks for games more like the ones on his phone – except he doesn't want to be staring at his phone.
That's where Ouya comes in. Still, the new console is unlikely to present a serious challenge to high-end consoles coming out from Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. later this year. Ouya lacks recent blockbuster games with high-end graphics. But at a fraction of the price (the Xbox One will cost $500 and the PlayStation 4, $400), it appeals to budget-conscious gamers, gadget geeks and those looking for an alternative to gaming power-trio.
Gartner analyst Brian Blau says the measure of Ouya's success will not be the number of consoles it sells but the amount of money game developers make – and whether there is a steady stream of new games for the device. What's missing now, he adds, is the big-name video game brands such as Activision and Electronic Arts supporting Ouya.
The project to build the Ouya console launched on Kickstarter last July. On Aug. 9, 2012, Ouya's funding period ended with $8.6 million pledged, more than nine times the original $950,000 goal its creators had set. More than 63,000 people donated, with 12 pledging $10,000 or more.
Ouya is not the first independent game console to attempt a challenge to the big three console makers. Four years ago, a startup called OnLive launched, offering games streamed over an Internet connection, similar to the way Netflix offers streamed movies and TV shows. OnLive's small game consoles went on sale for $99 in 2010, but they never gained broad appeal or even made a dent in the traditional console market.
Another early backer, Pedro Amador-Gates, thinks Ouya should "not even go after the consoles," but rather appeal to hobbyists and do-it-yourself folks.
Ouya, maker of a bite-sized game console that runs Google's Android operating system, wants to take a bite out the video game triumvirate of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. The console is already sold out on Amazon and Target's website.

Fair Housing Laws in New Jersey
New Jersey Housing Lawyer for Landlords
At Griffin Alexander, P.C., our understanding of Fair Housing requirements helps protect our clients in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. On the Federal Level, the Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and their regulations are administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but also contain private rights of action. On the State level, New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination largely mirrors the Federal Requirements.
Housing discrimination laws and regulations are intended as a shield, to protect home purchasers and tenants in the exercise of their civil rights, and insure that no person suffers unequal treatment because of their race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual preference, marital or familial status, gender identity, disability or source of income when renting or buying a home, securing a mortgage, or seeking housing assistance. Sometimes, however, these housing protections are used as a sword, to obtain benefits to which residents or tenants are not entitled. Housing complaints, justified and unjustified, are common in New Jersey are common, so it's important that landlords, community associations and others exercise care when confronting a fair housing issue.
In our residential and commercial landlord-tenant law practice, we assist landlords in developing strategies to assure that fair housing issues are given the attention they deserve before discriminatory acts occur, and minimize exposure to liability from fair housing issues. We work to prevent lawsuits when possible, and, when not possible, we defend our clients with competence and zeal. We are relentless advocates, but we are also educators. We have provided continuing education for managers, landlords and community association boards. We consider this an important part of our function.
Most people know not to discriminate against a person based upon race or religion, but many do not know that, for example, a New Jersey landlord cannot reject a tenant applicant because he or she has one or more children under the age of eighteen (18). Many do not know that a landlord cannot reject a tenant applicant because he or she receives government financial assistance. However, these restrictions can take several different, and not necessarily intuitive, forms. Many do not know that discrimination against a person with a disability can occur by failing to make a reasonable accommodation. Some cases involving disability are particularly complicated, for example, when a medical marijuana user lives next door to an asthmatic. It is important that landlords work with a seasoned attorney who can keep them informed of these potential pitfalls.
Landlords are permitted to make decisions regarding certain aspects of tenants' background to determine if they would be ideal tenants. Legally allowable "differentiating factors" on which a landlord can rely include:
negative references,
ability to pay,
bad credit, and
problematic habits (e., routine swearing, fighting, etc.).
So while a tenant cannot be rejected due to their source of income, if he or she has a history of making late rent payments, that might be a sufficient basis for a landlord to deny a housing application. Rejecting an applicant for a drug addiction could be seen as discrimination based on a disability; but if an applicant has a conviction for selling or using drugs, a landlord may be able to reject an application for housing based on criminal activity. It is often important to look at a variety of factors, and have a clear, unambiguous policy in place.
Generally, to avoid liability for housing discrimination a landlord must ensure the reasoning for rejecting a housing applicant is a legally allowable justification and not made on the basis of the applicant's identity as a member of a protected class. We, at Griffin Alexander, P.C., can advise on your particular situation to ensure you are not unintentionally violating the Fair Housing Act and creating a legal standing for a lawsuit.
Contact a New Jersey Housing Lawyer to Request a Consultation
Facing a discrimination claim can have serious legal and financial repercussions. A false discrimination claim can also impact a landlord's reputation.
At Griffin Alexander, P.C., our attorneys are experienced in Fair Housing claims, including disputes claiming the denial of housing to an applicant of a protected class. We understand these legal predicaments are sensitive, nuanced, and complex. We are committed to working closely with landlords to gather the necessary evidence and insight to put forth a winning case.
Whether you are a or a landlord who is unsure of whether you can reject a particular applicant, or a community association board member who has been called upon to accommodate a person with a disability, Griffin Alexander, P.C. can provide the sophisticated Fair Housing representation necessary to ensure that you are protected.
Call us at 973-366-1188 or complete an intake form online to request a consultation with one of our attorneys at Griffin Alexander, P.C. today.
We look forward to speaking with you further.

A German folk hero of the 14th century, Till Eulenspiegel was a peasant trickster whose jokes and pranks became the source of many folk tales. The jests and practical jokes, which generally depend on a pun, are broadly farcical, often brutal, and sometimes obscene, but they have a serious theme. In the figure of Eulenspiegel, the individual gets back at society; the stupid yet cunning peasant demonstrates his superiority to the narrow, dishonest, condescending townsman, as well as to the clergy and nobility. Through the centuries his character was featured in many literary and musical works, including a tone poem by Richard Strauss.
The historical Till is said to have been born at Kneitlingen, Brunswick, and to have died in 1350 at Mölln, Schleswig-Holstein, in what is today Germany, where his gravestone has been pointed out since the 16th century. Anecdotes associated with his name were printed in about 1500 in one or more Low German language versions. The earliest extant text is a High German version, Ein kurtzweilig Lesen von Dyl Vlenspiegel (An Amusing Book About Till Eulenspiegel), published in Antwerp in 1515.
The Low German text, or parts of it, was translated into Dutch and English (in about 1520), French (1532), and Latin (1558). A later English version, Here beginneth a merye Jest of a man that was called Howleglas, appeared in about 1560. Eulenspiegel has been the subject of musical and literary works, notably Charles de Coster's novel The Glorious Adventures of Tyl Eulenspiegl (in French; 1867), Richard Strauss's symphonic poem Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (1894–95; Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks), and Gerhart Hauptmann's epic poem Till Eulenspiegel (1928).

Like many cash-strapped brides and grooms, Prince William and Kate Middleton are skimping on the reception food. Instead of a traditional sit-down meal following their Friday nuptials in London, the prince and his new princess have arranged for finger food at their lunchtime wedding reception.
The reason for the toothpick cuisine isn't clear, but it may be more politically correct to forego a lavish feast when so many English commoners are suffering economically. With so many heads of state and other VIPs in attendance, it also may be a way to sidestep sticky diplomatic wickets created when a pecking order-based seating chart comes into play.
Or, it simply may be a matter of logistics. Buckingham Palace doesn't have room for a sit-down dinner for the 650 reception guests, according to Darren McGrady, who worked in the palace kitchen for 11 years before he transferred to Kensington Palace where he was private chef to Princess Diana and her two sons, William and Harry.
In a telephone interview, McGrady said that after Diana died in 1997, he moved to Dallas. He's still there, working as a cooking teacher, event planner and author.
McGrady expects the reception menu to feature hot and cold canapes, which may include palace kitchen classics, such as smoked salmon, herbed crepes, Cornish pasties and English sausage rolls. Protocol requires the nibbles to be presented on trays by uniformed footmen. Champagne, of course, will flow.
The palace has announced that the official wedding cake will be a multilayered fruitcake with white icing and a floral design. The recipe includes raisins, golden raisins, walnuts, cherries, grated oranges and lemons, French brandy and free-range eggs.
But William also has requested a chocolate groom's cake made of cookies ("biscuits" in Brit-speak). It's a no-bake cake that is a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, and one that McGrady often made for her.
"The recipe came from Buckingham Palace. I bet it's been in the family for 40 to 50 years," he said about Chocolate Biscuit Cake.
The chef said afternoon tea at the palace is served at 4 p.m. Besides Earl Grey tea, it often includes fruit tarts, éclairs, scones with clotted cream, sandwiches, sponge or ginger cake and, of course, the Chocolate Biscuit Cake.
When McGrady heard that William got engaged, the chef sent the prince a copy of his book, "Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances from a Palace Kitchen." It includes the recipe for Chocolate Biscuit Cake.
"I got a nice letter back, and not long afterward, I heard he was choosing Chocolate Biscuit Cake as his groom's cake," he said.
McGrady was born in Nottinghampshire, in central England, and spent 20 years in London, including two years working at the highbrow Savoy Hotel.
When Prince Charles and Lady Diana got married in 1981, McGrady camped outside Buckingham Palace the night before so he could have a ringside seat to the festivities.

Statement on Stockpile Destruction, Mine Ban Treaty Fourth Review Conference
Delivered by Mary Wareham, Advocacy Director
Stockpile destruction is undoubtedly one of the great success stories of the Mine Ban Treaty. Under the Mine Ban Treaty, a total of 93 States Parties have collectively destroyed more than 55 million antipersonnel landmines from their stocks, including more than 1.4 million mines during 2018.
Currently, just three States Parties have stockpiled antipersonnel mines to destroy. Sri Lanka has committed to destroy its 78,000 stockpiled mines by the end of 2020, while Greece (with 643,000 mines) and Ukraine (with 3.5 million mines) remain in violation of Article 4 after repeatedly failing to complete stockpile destruction by their respective deadlines.
We appreciate the update provided by Greece today and its transparency, but are concerned to learn about the "temporary pause" in the stockpile destruction process. But we are astonished not to hear from Ukraine today. Where is Ukraine? Why is it not here at the Review Conference to explain what it is doing to destroy its stockpiled antipersonnel mines?
As HRH Prince Mired has reminded us, Landmine Monitor estimates that as many as 30 of the 33 states not party to the Mine Ban Treaty stockpile a collective total of approximately 50 million mines today. This provides added impetus for us all to encourage the states to join the Mine Ban Treaty.
Non-state armed groups do not appear to be able to obtain significant numbers of factory-made antipersonnel mines now that production and transfers have largely halted under the Mine Ban Treaty. However, Landmine Monitor has identified several groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen that possess antipersonnel mines, mostly improvised from locally-available components. Use of these improvised antipersonnel mines in recent years has led to a sharp increase in the number of mine casualties globally.
But it's not all bad news. The Polisario Front in Western Sahara this year completed the destruction of more than 20,000 antipersonnel mines, ending a process that has been underway since 2006.
Lastly, we wish to address an outstanding issue of concern for the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. A total of 71 States Parties have retained antipersonnel mines for training and research in detection and clearance techniques. Leading this list are Bangladesh, Finland, and Sri Lanka, which between them collectively possess nearly 50,000 retained antipersonnel mines.
We commend Botswana, Thailand and Chile for their decisions this year to destroy the stockpiled antipersonnel mines that were originally retained for research and training. They show us how it is not essential to use live mines for these purposes. And thank you to Indonesia for submitting the transparency report for the Mine Ban Treaty, detailing the status of the mines retained for training. We encourage all states with overdue transparency reports to turn them in, especially those who are retaining mines for research and training purposes.
Cyprus, Nigeria, Senegal, and a few other states parties with mines retained under Article 3 have never used any for the permitted purposes and are, in effect, violating the nature of this exception, as they essentially are stockpiling the mines. States Parties should treat this as a compliance issue, including the involvement of the Committee on Cooperative Compliance.

It is important to be aware of sweepstake scams, but there are some that are afraid to replay to real win notices because of normal sweepstake practices. Here is a look at things that aren't signs of sweepstakes scams.
You do need to be careful about giving your ID number or social security number out, but it is normal for sponsors to request this in order to verify their winners.
There is a misconception that sponsors may only ask for affidavits for prizes that are worth a lot, but they can ask for affidavits for smaller prizes as well.
Winners are usually notified of their wins via telephone or post, but receiving an e-mail win notification is also a legitimate way to notify winners.
If the winning email you receive doesn't even have your name then that is a red flag. A misspelling in your name isn't a great sign, but it could also mean that you made a typo when you filled out the entry form or the sponsor made a typo when they typed your notification. These things do happen so it is not a sure way to say if it is a scam.
Generally when you are asked to pay taxes to a sweepstake sponsor instead of to the tax authority then it is a sign that it's a scam, but the exception is some taxes on vacation prizes.
You need to be alert of sweepstake scams, but you also should let your wins pass you by because you think some things are a little strange even though they are normal and form part of the win notification process.
If you are unsure, verify your wins before you respond and if you have any questions then ask.
I received a sms stating that I won a VW Polo. When I contacted the nr given for claiming the car I was informed that I have to deposit R1988.00 into a bank account to cover the delivery and insurance. Is this correct?

Q: Presto substr operations: Split and return the first 3 element I have one column ip(which is string) which looks like this
a.b.c.d

I would like to substrate the first 3 elements(after being split by '.') of this ip and the result should be:
a.b.c

I tried to use the method in this post:Split and return all but first element in Presto, but found out that position('.' in ip) only returns the first element that meets the condition.

A: *

*Split the ip into an array with split

*Take the last item off the array with trim_array

*Put it back together again with array_join
array_join(trim_array(split(col, '.'), 1), '.')

See Array Functions and Operators and String Functions

Using pure string functions, we can use your linked answer by reversing everything and then un-reversing:
reverse(substr(reverse(col), position('.' in reverse(col)) + 1))

Harriet Dyer steals the show in Stan's The Other Guy
Brodie Fogg
Posted: 1 August 2017 12:45 pm
Stan's latest original TV series is off to a promising start.
At Stan's 2017 Showcase event, we were treated to a few neat surprises, including the announcement of a Romper Stomper TV series and Stan's first international "Original" Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. However, what we all really went for was the premiere screening of Stan's upcoming comedy The Other Guy.
Stan already proved it could throw together a good comedy series with the impressively improvised No Activity, but The Other Guy is the first traditionally structured drama-comedy series for the streaming service.
If you ever had any concern that The Other Guy would be just another formulaic, family-friendly rom-com that Aussie screens are already plastered with, you'll be happy to know that it's anything but, thanks in a huge part to Matt Okine, Becky Lucas and Greg Waters' shared writing duties and Harriet Dyer's solid comedy chops.
The Other Guy kicks off in one of the most heartbreaking situations imaginable: Matt Okine's down and out bachelor, AJ Amon, is daisy-chaining sleazy hookups and late night benders after discovering his girlfriend of 10 years, played by Valene Kane (Lyra Erso in Rogue One), cheated on him with his best friend and roommate.
Need more TV? We've got you covered.
This situation is never really played up or dramatised for tears (at least in the first two episodes). In fact, it almost floats by at the start. Okine's character is obviously devastated but he's not angry or emotional, he's really just a bit of a husk.
Okine does a fine performance as AJ, and while he does manage to muster a few smiles, the nature of his melancholic leading role means he often takes a backseat to shelling out the laughs. That job is primarily handled by three characters in The Other Guy: AJ's dentist dad, Daddy Mack (Michael-Anthony Taylor), Christiaan Van Vuuren's straight-talking dealer Dezzy, and Harriet Dyer's (No Activity) scene-stealing turn as AJ's uninvited roommate, Stevie.
Christiaan Van Vuuren's Dezzy is a nice guy dealer. The kind of guy who spins indecipherable yarns riddled with Australian slang and swearing. While he only gets limited screen time, he absolutely kills it with the little he has. Van Vuuren's performances often revolve around a staggeringly accurate satire of everyday Australians and this is no different.
However, it was Harriet Dyer who really blew the audience away. She honestly steals the laughs in every scene she's present in, which is a lot. Harriet Dyer is only second to Okine in terms of screen time and The Other Guy is better for it.
Whether she's evoking the very worst hangover you could imagine, lamenting her on-and-off relationship with Dezzy, or being brutally honest about her own personality and a non-existent thyroid problem, the whole audience absolutely cacked themselves whenever she opened her mouth.
We're looking forward to seeing from The Other Guy and Dyer's side-splitting on-screen banter when the show officially premieres 17 August.
In the meantime, why not check out what else Stan is slinging.

The Redoned were an ancient tribe of Gaul. Their capital was Condate (modern Rennes).
After the bloody fight on the Sambre (57 BCE) Julius Caesar sent Publius Licinius Crassus with a single legion into the country of the Veneti, Riedones, and other Celtic tribes between the Seine River and the Loire, all of whom submitted.
Caesar enumerates the Riedones among the maritime states whose territory extends to the Atlantic Ocean.

Denmark's Volbeat are an enigma. Blending rockabilly, country and metal, they have created a sound that is simply their own and incredibly unique. Early on in their career you couldn't even purchase their albums stateside and now their releases are consistently rising towards the top of the charts. It has been three years since their last release and they are back with their swagger intact with their sixth full-length release, Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie.
Crooner Michael Poulsen possesses an instantly identifiable voice that sets him apart from all of his counterparts. More than ever, Poulsen has mastered his songwriting craft, as his material is catchier than ever. Throughout their new release Volbeat blend Metallica inspired riffing with melodies that are instantly unforgettable.
Where their last release Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies was harder hitting and focused more on driving riffs, this time around the focus is on Poulsen's melodies being larger than life. The album kicks off with the first single "The Devil's Bleeding Crown," which contains a mid tempo heavy riff that starts the record off with one of the heavier moments.
They continue to show their heavier side with tracks like album closer "The Loa's Crossroad," the Middle Eastern flavored "The Gates Of Babylon" and the crushing title track, which also features a stellar solo by guitarist Rob Caggiano. Volbeat are known for adding covers to their records and their latest is no different.
The Teenage Bottlerocket track "Rebound" is a perfect blend of '50s rock sensibilities infused with punk. It is the perfect amalgamation of The Misfits and The Ramones. The other cover is a faithful rendition of The Georgia Satellites "Battleship Chains" that fits Volbeat's sound flawlessly.
The highlight of the record is the gospel inspired "Goodbye Forever." Utilizing the Harlem Gospel Choir, it finds them taking a bold chance, which is a huge success. Amazing melodies abound with some poignant, touching lyrics. "Black Rose" featuring Danko Jones and second single "The Bliss" also find Volbeat firing on all cylinders.
Volbeat continue to grow but have never lost sight of their original sound. In this day and age of bands being uninspired and unoriginal, it is refreshing to see a band of Volbeat's originality and passion to be one of today's most successful hard rock/metal bands. Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie is incredibly strong front to back, is the most consistent of their career, and is one of my favorite releases of 2016.

Marvin Isley (August 18, 1953 – June 6, 2010)[1] was the youngest member of the family music group the Isley Brothers and its bass guitarist.
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Isley and his family moved to a home in Englewood, New Jersey in the summer of 1959. Isley eventually graduated from Englewood's Dwight Morrow High School in 1972.[2] In 1976, he graduated from C.W. Post College with a degree in music.[3]
Marvin began playing bass guitar while in high school and by the end of the decade was being tutored and mentored by his elder brothers alongside elder brother Ernie and their friend, Chris Jasper, who was an in-law. By 1971, Marvin began performing bass guitar on The Isley Brothers' album, Givin' It Back. Within two years, he became an official member of the group. In addition to playing bass, he also provided percussion and also wrote or co-wrote some of the group's hits including "Fight the Power", "The Pride" and "Between the Sheets". Breaking away from the Isleys in 1984, he, Ernie and Chris formed the trio, Isley-Jasper-Isley, who had a hit in 1985 with "Caravan of Love". The group broke up in 1988 after Ernie Isley signed a solo recording deal. Three years later, Marvin and Ernie reunited with Ron Isley to reform the Isley Brothers. Marvin remained a member until complications from his longtime battle with diabetes forced him into retirement in 1997. Having been diagnosed with diabetes in his early 20s, Isley's condition worsened to the point where he had to have both legs amputated. Isley was inducted as a member of the Isley Brothers to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.[1]
Marvin Isley died on June 6, 2010, from complications of diabetes at the Seasons Hospice within Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, at age 56.[4][5] Besides his three brothers Ronald, Ernie and Rudolph, Isley was survived by his wife Sheila Felton, a son Corey, and two daughters, Sidney and Jalen.[3]
