DOJ backs antitrust bill targeting Amazon, Google, Apple
Here are your FOX Business Flash top headlines for March 28.
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department Monday endorsed legislation forbidding large digital platforms such as Amazon and Google from favoring their own products and services over competitors', marking the Biden administration's first full-throated support of the antitrust measure.
"The Department views the rise of dominating platforms as presenting a threat to open markets and competition, with risks for consumers, businesses, innovation, resiliency, global competitiveness, and our democracy," says a letter to bipartisan leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, signed by Peter Hyun, the Justice Department's acting assistant attorney general for legislative affairs.
The letter, obtained by The Wall Street Journal, expresses support for the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, which the Senate's judicial panel approved in January in a bipartisan vote, as well as similar legislation moving through the House.

Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc.'s Google, Apple Inc. and others oppose the proposed legislation, saying it would make it harder to offer popular services. The bills' opponents also say it is fair for e-marketplaces, search engines and app stores to profit off their creations' popularity.

The department's letter throws its weight behind a different view: that the platforms' dominant position gives them unchecked power to influence the fate of other businesses, and that restricting the platforms' conduct would carry significant benefits.

"Discriminatory conduct by dominant platforms can sap the rewards from other innovators and entrepreneurs, reducing the incentives for entrepreneurship and innovation," the letter says. "Even more importantly, the legislation may support the growth of new tech businesses adjacent to the platforms, which may ultimately pose a critically needed competitive check to the covered platforms themselves."
The bills supplement existing antitrust laws by clarifying what kinds of conduct Congress views as anti-competitive and illegal, the letter adds, noting that "doing so would enhance the ability of the DOJ and [the Federal Trade Commission] to challenge that drive."

The Biden administration's support boosts the prospects for passing the legislation, which has cleared key committees in the House and Senate.

But it still hasn't received a vote on the floor of either chamber, and it faces industry resistance as well as skepticism on both sides of the aisle. Some conservatives are wary of expanding the government's power to police digital markets, while some Democrats, particularly from California, say the legislation unfairly targets a handful of large companies.
At the January committee vote, a number of senators who voted "yes" said they still wanted to see changes to the bill before supporting it on the Senate floor. The legislation's backers, including Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) and Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), are in talks with their colleagues to craft a version of the bill that can pass.

Calling Biden: Number Of Arrests Of Illegal Immigrants Reaches Record One-Year-High
By Hank Berrien

The situation at the southern border has deteriorated so badly during the Biden administration that for the first time, over two million immigration arrests were made in eleven months, reaching a new threshold.
Instead of blaming their own lax policies vis-à-vis immigration for the problem, Biden administration officials blamed governments in Latin America, The Washington Post reported.
"Failing communist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba are driving a new wave of migration across the Western Hemisphere, including the recent increase in encounters at the southwest U.S. border," Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus offered as an excuse. "Those fleeing repressive regimes pose significant challenges for processing and removal."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained 203,598 immigrants who entered the United States from Mexico in August; if that rate of immigration continues, over 2.3 million arrests would have been made between the end of September 2021 and September 2022, the Post surmised.
Biden administration officials cite the Trump administration's implementation of the Title 42 emergency public health policy for some of the problem, claiming that repeated attempts by some immigrants to cross the border came after they had been sent back to Mexico after their first attempts.
Compared to the eight years of the Obama presidency, the Biden administration comes off poorly regarding immigration; in the 20 months since Biden was inaugurated, Border Patrol has made 3,484,327 apprehensions of illegal immigrants, while 3,384,816 apprehensions were made in the eight fiscal years of Obama's term, as The Washington Examiner noted.
A September New York Times/Siena poll found that more respondents agreed with the Republican party on illegal immigration than the Democratic party, by a margin of 51%-37%.
"We've never seen anything like this before … the millions of people coming into our country and the women and children going through the abuse that they're going through," Texas GOP Rep. Mayra Flores stated.
"It's really been a perfect storm," echoed Ken Oliver of the Texas Public Policy Foundation's Right on Immigration program in Washington. "There are no real breaks right now. The flow is only getting worse in terms of the numbers of countries involved."
One border agent simply admitted, "We're apprehending people left and right."
Some immigrants were informed by smugglers that Biden's immigration policies were softer regarding immigrants, an idea that was propounded on WhatsApp chats and Facebook posts, thus catalyzing more immigrants to attempt to cross the border into the U.S.

(1) The attending physician has secured the informed written consent of the minor and one parent or guardian, and the consenting parent or guardian of the minor has notified any other custodial parent in writing prior to the securing of the informed written consent of the minor and one parent or guardian. For purposes of this subdivision, "custodial parent" shall only mean a parent of a minor who has been awarded joint legal custody or joint physical custody of such minor by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notice shall not be required for any parent:
(a) Who has been found guilty of any offense in violation of chapter 565, relating to offenses against the person; chapter 566, relating to sexual offenses; chapter 567, relating to prostitution; chapter 568, relating to offenses against the family; or chapter 573, related to pornography and related offenses, if a child was a victim;
(b) Who has been found guilty of any offense in any other state or foreign country, or under federal, tribal, or military jurisdiction if a child was a victim, which would be a violation of chapters 565, 566, 567, 568, or 573 if committed in this state;
(c) Who is listed on the sexual offender registry under sections 589.400 to 589.425;
(d) Against whom an order of protection has been issued, including a foreign order of protection given full faith and credit in this state under section 455.067;
(e) Whose custodial, parental, or guardianship rights have been terminated by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(f) Whose whereabouts are unknown after reasonable inquiry, who is a fugitive from justice, who is habitually in an intoxicated or drugged condition, or who has been declared mentally incompetent or incapacitated by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(2) The minor is emancipated and the attending physician has received the informed written consent of the minor;
(3) The minor has been granted the right to self-consent to the abortion by court order pursuant to subsection 2 of this section, and the attending physician has received the informed written consent of the minor; or
(4) The minor has been granted consent to the abortion by court order, and the court has given its informed written consent in accordance with subsection 2 of this section, and the minor is having the abortion willingly, in compliance with subsection 3 of this section.
2. The right of a minor to self-consent to an abortion under subdivision (3) of subsection 1 of this section or court consent under subdivision (4) of subsection 1 of this section may be granted by a court pursuant to the following procedures:
(1) The minor or next friend shall make an application to the juvenile court which shall assist the minor or next friend in preparing the petition and notices required pursuant to this section. The minor or the next friend of the minor shall thereafter file a petition setting forth the initials of the minor; the age of the minor; the names and addresses of each parent, guardian, or, if the minor's parents are deceased and no guardian has been appointed, any other person standing in loco parentis of the minor; that the minor has been fully informed of the risks and consequences of the abortion; that the minor is of sound mind and has sufficient intellectual capacity to consent to the abortion; that, if the court does not grant the minor majority rights for the purpose of consent to the abortion, the court should find that the abortion is in the best interest of the minor and give judicial consent to the abortion; that the court should appoint a guardian ad litem of the child; and if the minor does not have private counsel, that the court should appoint counsel. The petition shall be signed by the minor or the next friend;
(2) A hearing on the merits of the petition, to be held on the record, shall be held as soon as possible within five days of the filing of the petition. If any party is unable to afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel at least twenty-four hours before the time of the hearing. At the hearing, the court shall hear evidence relating to the emotional development, maturity, intellect and understanding of the minor; the nature, possible consequences, and alternatives to the abortion; and any other evidence that the court may find useful in determining whether the minor should be granted majority rights for the purpose of consenting to the abortion or whether the abortion is in the best interests of the minor;
(3) In the decree, the court shall for good cause:
(a) Grant the petition for majority rights for the purpose of consenting to the abortion;
(b) Find the abortion to be in the best interests of the minor and give judicial consent to the abortion, setting forth the grounds for so finding; or
(c) Deny the petition, setting forth the grounds on which the petition is denied;
(4) If the petition is allowed, the informed consent of the minor, pursuant to a court grant of majority rights, or the judicial consent, shall bar an action by the parents or guardian of the minor on the grounds of battery of the minor by those performing or inducing the abortion. The immunity granted shall only extend to the performance or induction of the abortion in accordance herewith and any necessary accompanying services which are performed in a competent manner. The costs of the action shall be borne by the parties;
(5) An appeal from an order issued under the provisions of this section may be taken to the court of appeals of this state by the minor or by a parent or guardian of the minor. The notice of intent to appeal shall be given within twenty-four hours from the date of issuance of the order. The record on appeal shall be completed and the appeal shall be perfected within five days from the filing of notice to appeal. Because time may be of the essence regarding the performance or induction of the abortion, the supreme court of this state shall, by court rule, provide for expedited appellate review of cases appealed under this section.

The map below shows the location of the targets.
Here's how the attack played out: Malicious, macro-enabled documents were delivered as email attachments to target small businesses and users. Each document had a file name that spoofed a legitimate business name and masqueraded as a statement from that business. In total, we saw 21 unique document file names used in this campaign.
The attackers sent these emails to intended victims in the city or general geographic area where the businesses are located. For example, the attachment named Dolan_Care_Statement.doc was sent almost exclusively to targets in Missouri. The document file name spoofs a known establishment in St. Louis. While we do not believe the establishment itself was affected or targeted by this attack, the document purports to be from the said establishment when it's really not.
The intended effect is for recipients to get documents from local, very familiar business or service providers. It's part of the social engineering scheme to increase likelihood that recipients will think the document is legitimate and take the bait, when in reality it is a malicious document.
When recipients open the document, they are shown a message that tricks the person into enabling the macro.
As is typical in social engineering attacks, this is not true. If the recipient does enable the macro, no content is shown. Instead the following process is launched to deobfuscate a PowerShell command.
The PowerShell script connects to any of 12 different URLs that all deliver the payload.
The payload is Ursnif, info-stealing malware. When run, Ursnif steals information about infected devices, as well as sensitive information like passwords. Notably, this infection sequence (i.e., cmd.exe process deobfuscates a PowerShell that in turn downloads the payload) is a common method used by other info-stealing malware like Emotet and Trickbot.
As the malware campaign got under way, four different cloud-based machine learning models gave the verdict that the documents were malicious. These four models are among a diverse set of models that help ensure we catch a wide range of new and emerging threats. Different models have different areas of expertise; they use different algorithms and are trained on their unique set of features.
One of the models that gave the malicious verdict is a generic model designed to detect non-portable executable (PE) threats. We have found that models like this are effective in catching social engineering attacks, which typically use non-PE files like scripts and, as is the case for this campaign, macro-laced documents.
The said non-PE model is a simple averaged perceptron algorithm that uses various features, including expert features, fuzzy hashes of various file sections, and contextual data. The simplicity of the model makes it fast, enabling it to give split-second verdicts before suspicious files could execute. Our analysis into this specific model showed that the expert features and fuzzy hashes had the biggest impact in the model's verdict and the eventual blocking of the attack.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence power Windows Defender Antivirus to detect and stop new and emerging attacks before they can wreak havoc. Every day, we protect customers from millions of distinct, first-seen malware. Our layered approach to intelligent, cloud-based protection employs a diverse set of machine learning models designed to catch the wide range of threats: from massive malware campaigns to small-scale, localized attacks.
The latter is a growing trend, and we continue to watch the threat landscape to keep machine learning effective against attacks. In a recent blog post, we discussed how we continue to harden machine learning defenses.
Windows Defender AV delivers the next-gen protection capabilities in the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Windows Defender ATP). Windows Defender ATP integrates attack surface reduction, next-gen protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), automatic investigation and response, security posture, and advanced hunting capabilities. .
Because of this integration, antivirus detections, such as those related to this campaign, are surfaced in Windows Defender Security Center. Using EDR capabilities, security operations teams can then investigate and respond to the incident. Attack surface reduction rules also block this campaign, and these detections are likewise surfaced in Windows Defender ATP. To test how Windows Defender ATP can help your organization detect, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks, sign up for a free trial.
Across the whole Microsoft 365 threat protection, detections and other security signals are shared among Office 365 ATP, Windows Defender ATP, and Azure ATP. In this Ursnif campaign, the antivirus detection also enables the blocking of related emails in Office 365. This demonstrates how signal sharing and orchestration of remediation across solutions in Microsoft 365 results in better integrated threat protection.

Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, upset winner of the Florida democratic gubernatorial primary, says his Republican opponent, Ron DeSantis is taking a page from President Trump's political playbook.
Liberal Florida Governor elections nominated Andrew Gillum on Wednesday beat his opponent, Ron DeSantis, after the Republicans warned the voters earlier in the day, not to "monkey this" by voting for Gillum in November.
During an appearance on Fox News, anchor Shepard Smith Gillum, who is black, asked if he as DeSantis' comment racist or a figment of speech.
Gillum, Bernie Sanders supports progressive, won the Florida democratic gubernatorial primary in a surprise on Tuesday, the defendants DeSantis "take a page right out of the campaign manual by Donald Trump" and said he believes Florida voters are "sick", from the Department of DeSantis.
DeSantis, who won the Republican nomination for Governor on Tuesday, made the remark during an appearance on Wednesday on Fox News.
During his Fox News interview, Gillum, mayor of Tallahassee, the behavior of the ongoing FBI investigation of corruption in the city he has led since 2014, denying any misconduct.
"I don't expect all my problems away….I welcome to get your inquiry to the end of the corruption that could exist," said Gillum.
According to local news outlets have extensively treated the case – the FBI is investigating possible corruption in connection with land deals in the city. Last year, the FBI subpoenas for documents issued by the city of Tallahassee with respect to the developer.
Gillum in 2016, also in interaction with an undercover FBI agent who is the investment in Tallahassee reports was interested in as a business man because, according to these. He was introduced to the agent-lobbyist Adam Corey, a longtime friend who has since been featured as part of the probe.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, Gillum a meeting with the undercover FBI agent agreed, while on a Costa Rica vacation with Corey in the year 2016.
The Republicans, the gain in the subsequent period, Gillum primary, do everything to draw attention to Gillum's link to the probe and make sure it casts a shadow over his campaign.
"With Andrew Gillum, Florida Democrats, a radical elected, far-left politician who remains in the middle of an FBI anti-corruption investigations," the Republican Governors Association, said Tuesday.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds adding VW campervan for lads on tour
Do Plunk from a land down under?
News by Alice O'Connor Associate Editor
If you had any doubt about the near-fact that Playerunknown's Battlegrounds [official site] is about lads larking around on a weekend jolly which turns deadly, they will now be quashed by the revelation that it's adding a vintage Volkswagen Kombi campervan as a driveable vehicle. Round up the lads, fill a level 3 backpack with tinnies (and a few painkillers, to be safe), hop in the bantwagon, and hit the road blasting Men At Work. No word yet on quite when it will be added but creator Brendan 'Playerunknown' Greene says another two vehicles are in the works and I'll be livid if neither is the bicycle teased earlier this year.
Plunk tweeted this morning:
https://twitter.com/PLAYERUNKNOWN/status/911094272648032258
That's a corker, that. I'm jazzed with the prospect of rumbling and spluttering along desert roads in that rustbucket. (A desert map being one of two currently planned, and the one that's nearer to launch.)
Plunk was asked about bicycles in that Reddit Q&A session he mentions. He responded, "We have the technology (motorbike) so it is definitely possible!"
Bikes with bells please, thank you. He also told that person that Bluehole have prototyped a night time map variant, though they don't know when it might be added "as it will take a lot of work to finish."
Elsewhere in that 'Ask Me Anything' session, Plunk said that they're planning to tweak the blue zone o' death "to make it fairer", that they're still working on optimising performance bit-by-bit, and that they're working on bullet penetration (which should also stop water making people impervious to harm).
The team are also working on rebalancing audio levels so certain sounds are less painful, he said.
He did also comment that he "would love to add a single player campaign to the game" but don't read that to mean that Plunkbat will get one. "Just to confirm, we have no plans for a single player campaign!" he tweeted after some folks got a little over-excited.
Most importantly, Plunk mentioned that he's planning "a little nod" to revered sitcom Father Ted. I would support replacing all dreadful l33t d00d graffiti with Ted gags. Or the Craggy Island Parochial House sitting in a valley.
Anyway, most of this is speculative or vague. The real firm news is: travelling in a fried-out Kombi.

Mountain bikers seek climb and punishment in the Cariboo
September 8, 2020 // by Kelly Sinoski
More than 1,000 riders visited the BC Cariboo's new mountain bike trails around 99 Mile in August, supporting the region's place as a mountain biking mecca.
Trail counters showed 1,659 riders hit the Hustle and Flow trail, 1,006 on Climb and Punishment and 97 on the skills trail or low mobility.
On a recent sunny Wednesday, 15 newcomers also came out to join the Huncity Mountain Bike club on its weekly ride, says Huncity president Steve Law.
"It's pretty awesome. We're over 100 members – that's 10 times what we had in the previous years."
Law credits the rise to various factors, mainly a push to promote 100 Mile's mountain bike assets – including its new jump trail and other recently built trails – online and through social media, as well as mentions of popular trails in Trail Forks. COVID-19 is also credited with increasing interest in the sport as people look for outdoor activities. "Way more people know what's going on here than they did before. All these communities [in the Cariboo] are starting to build bike trails so (visitors) are stopping and riding."
Law, who has been riding the local trails for 20 years, says the trails are full of "all kinds of people who I've never seen before."
The interest is good news to the Huncity Mountain Bike Club, which would like to bring 100 Mile on par with the likes of Williams Lake, which is among the top-five destinations for riders. Law says the group has had significant help from the province, with $130,000 from Red Site and Trails over the past two years and $30,000 from the District of 100 Mile last year to create demonstration forest and low-mobility trails.
The club is also finishing a kids' loop at the site, and the District of 100 Mile has refocused and repurposed trail activity in 99 Mile to allow for dirt bikes as well as accessible trails.
Beth Holden, economic development officer at the Cariboo Regional District, notes that municipalities and regional and provincial governments are also contributing to new trails, while the Western Canada Tourism Association is promoting the sport, with the focus this year on women and families.
While it's hard to quantify the economic benefits, new flow trails are having an effect: an advanced rider can catch big air while a new rider can "flow" down the route.
"We're seeing an increase in the tourism aspect of it," she says. "They're all seeing what a benefit outdoor recreation generally is and they're putting money into it."
Law agrees. Huncity is part of the Ride the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium with Williams Lake and Quesnel, which is working together to promote mountain biking across the region.
"Everyone can see what's going on with mountain biking," he says, noting 20 years ago single track riding didn't really exist in this area. "It's definitely being pushed all over now."

Moss Bluff Middle School to hold SOS Rally

Moss Bluff Middle School students and faculty show their appreciation for civil servants and first responders at last year's annual SOS (Supporting Our Servants) Rally.
Special to the American Press

Moss Bluff Middle School will hold its third annual Supporting Our Servants Rally at 9 a.m. Friday, May 11, in the school gym.

Students will honor local service members and first responders through music and art. Sheriff Tony Mancuso, the main speaker, will talk about his law enforcement experience.

The SOS Club was started by seventh-grade teacher Toni Perry. "I've always felt a really big pull to honor our service people," she said.

The club was started to support deployed servicemen, Perry said, but on learning of the death of state police Trooper Steven Vincent she broadened its scope.

Students throughout the year have been learning about service members and first responders, Perry said. Each month an officer or service member visited the club and shared insights and experiences, she said.

The students asked questions and handled some tools of the trade and afterward wrote letters of thanks to the person, Perry said. The club even raised money to adopt an Army Ranger and sent items of appreciation overseas.

The rally is the club's culminating event, she said. Often, Perry said, "kids don't have any outlet to say thank you."

Additionally, she said, the SOS Club gives students the opportunity to see beyond a uniform and understand that law officers are "real people who are there to help."

Members of service agencies who plan to attend the rally are asked to call 217-4570. Light refreshments will be served before the start of the event.

Q: In Nancyfx how to pass array of Ids I want to see if there is a way to capture an array of Ids  on the backend.
I have this post method.
        $http({
            method: 'POST',
            url: "posting",
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            data: myIds // ["1","2" ... etc ]
        })

and on the back end question is how do I bind the ids to some variable?
        Post["posting"] = p =>
        {
            var data = this.Bind();// here is the problem ????
            var OK = someMethod(data);
            return OK;
        };

I could make it work if I add another model, but do we always need a model?

A: This may help someone else.
this is what i did and it worked:
            string[] s = {};
            s = this.Bind();

now my s contains all the ids.

Nurturing the path to post-capitalism…and some simulation.
Paul Mason's recent book 'Post-Capitalism' has generated a lot of debate amongst those on the left of British politics; most obviously in interminable and reassuringly repetitive Guardiandebates and opinion pieces. It has also inspired an equal amount of derision from those on the right; most predictably in 'common-sensey' reviews from the Telegraph and Spectator. In the book, Mason attempts to explain why he believes the end of capitalism has begun. We can (and do) endlessly debate whether capitalism is in its endgame. What can't be denied is the increasing importance of one of the causes of Mason's belief, that is, the advent of 'commons-based peer production'.
Commons-based peer production is so relevant, and so important, it has its own horrific abbreviation – CBPP – which is almost certainly impossible to actually say. CBPP is simply people coming together to work and collaborate as equals, or peers, to produce something for the common good – i.e., for free. This mode of production has existed for as long as humankind perhaps, but aided by the internet and the ease of communication it enables, appears to be on the rise. CBPP has come up before in this blogwhen Charles Masquelier considered the potential for CBPP to be part of radical social change. In this post, I want to consider how we might nurture CBPP, and in doing so, plug some of our current research!
There are many famous examples of CBPP, such as Wikipedia, Linux, Open Street Map and Mozilla's Firefox. Many of these communities are focused on producing online products, and the best of these projects scale well, and so become well-known around the world. However, there are also many smaller communities and offline communities, that are equally interesting, but are less well-known (there is a list of some here). The last few years has also seen the appearance and rapid growth of commercial peer production, with companies such as Uberand Airbnb.
However, in the UK, my sense is that we have been fairly slow in realising the potential of smaller or offline CBPP communities, and have failed to provide them with as much support as some of our European neighbours. I doubt it is a coincidence that Mason spends much of his journalistic time reporting from southern Europe, mostly Greece and Spain, where communities in my experience, are better supported by local government and more closely integrated with the existing local and activist political landscape. In a recent trip to Madrid, I was struck by the overt presence of CBPP communities (e.g., La Tabacalera, Media Lab Prado), some supported by local government, some a little more illicit-feeling, taking up large amounts of space in the very centre of the city. This seems almost unimaginable in my home city of London, where such communities are only in our awareness to the east of London, where they can be dismissed as 'hipster' nonsense, or simply not noticed by wider society at all.
If, as a society, we are to improve our support of CBPP communities, as Mason suggests is imperative, we must better understand how these communities work, why they are useful and generate value for people, and consider what they need to survive and flourish (beyond simple hand-outs of cash and space). These are the aims of the ongoing European-fundedP2Pvalue project. Led by project coordinator Professor Nigel Gilbert in the Centre for Research in Social Simulation, the project intends to build on and develop existing theory on CBPP communities, develop an archive and directory of CBPP communities and related data sets, and finally, to build a software platform (an app, basically) for communities to use to organise their collaboration and work.
To underpin the development of this software platform (think of an open source mobile version of Google Docs mixed with WhatsApp, using a crowd-funding type approach to prioritise work), project partners from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Università degli Studi di Milano are respectively carrying out ethnographic studies and user-testing with CBPP communities. By taking this user-focused approach, the project intends to produce something that responds to communities' diverse needs and has real value for them. This combination of approaches is also being complimented by the use of agent-based modelling, to simulate the potential impact of the software platform on different types of community. Using the theory and data generated by the project already, the simulation, which I am currently working on, allows us to construct a virtual CBPP community, and see how its structure and lifespan may be affected when it uses different features of the software platform to organise its work. These findings can then further inform the development of the platform.
Coincidentally, one of the other arguments Mason makes in his book (and has made previously), is for government policymakers to make much greater use of exactly this type of simulation modelling. Whilst Mason makes some very optimistic claims about the scale and types of questions this approach can be used to address, I do believe there is unrealised potential for it to inform policy in the public, private and third sectors. It is hugely encouraging to see this being recognised by those outside the fields' immediate advocates and practitioners. For one, I am certainly hoping Mason's dual vision of CBPP being part of the move towards post-capitalism and the increased use of agent-based modelling to inform our decision-making, has more than a whiff of truth to it!

Freer History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The distinguished surname Freer emerged among the industrious people of Flanders, which was an important trading partner and political ally of Britain during the Middle Ages. As a result of the frequent commercial intercourse between the Flemish and English nations, many Flemish migrants settled in Britain. In early times, people were known by only a single name. However, as the population grew and people traveled further afield, it became increasingly necessary to assume an additional name to differentiate between bearers of the same personal name. Occupational surnames were derived from the common trades of the medieval era. The surname Freer is an occupational name for a friar. The surname Freer is derived from the Old French word frere, which means friar. [1] [2]
Early Origins of the Freer family
The surname Freer was first found in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 which listed: Benedictus le Frere, Cambridgeshire; and John le Frere, Norfolk. [3] Over in Somerset, Cecylia le Frere, was listed there 1 Edward III (during the first year of King Edward III's reign.) [4]
Another source notes that Robert (le) Frere was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire, 1196-1195 and Roger le Frier was listed in the Assize Rolls for Somerset in 1243. [5]
Later the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed: Margota Frere; and Isabella Frere as holding lands there at that time. [3]
"There were gentle families of the name in Great Wigston and Blaby, Leicestershire, during last century. John Freer was rector of Knossington in the reign of Anne. One of the name was mayor of Leicester about a century ago. The name also occurs in Yorkshire. Since Leicestershire, Rutlandshire, and Yorkshire are all of them homes of both the Freers and the Fryers, the two names are probably different forms of the same name." [6]
Early History of the Freer family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Freer research. Another 117 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1296, 1563, 1517, 1521, 1525, 1525, 1571, 1563, 1544, 1548, 1555, 1672, 1563, 1623, 1733, 1671, 1605 and 1598 are included under the topic Early Freer History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Freer Spelling Variations
Flemish surnames are characterized by a large number of spelling variations. One reason for this is that medieval English lacked definite spelling rules. The spellings of surnames were also influenced by the official court languages, which were French and Latin. Names were rarely spelled consistently in medieval times. Scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to specific spelling rules, and people often had their names registered in several different forms throughout their lives. One of the greatest reasons for change is the linguistic uniqueness of the Flemish settlers in England, who spoke a language closely related to Dutch. The pronunciation and spelling of Flemish names were often altered to suit the tastes of English-speaking people. In many cases, the first, final, or middle syllables of surnames were eliminated. The name has been spelled Freer, Fryer, Frier, Frere and others.
Early Notables of the Freer family (pre 1700)
Prominent in the family at this time was John Fryer (d. 1563), English physician, born at Balsham, Cambridgeshire, educated at Eton and elected thence to King's College, Cambridge, in 1517. "He graduated B.A. in 1521 and M.A. in 1525. On 5 Nov. 1525 he was incorporated at Oxford, being one of three masters of arts who had been preferred to Cardinal Wolsey's college in that university." [7] John Fryer ( fl. 1571), the English physician, who has been erroneously described as the son of John Fryer, M.D. (d. 1563) [q. v.], was born at Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire, and educated at Cambridge...

"MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL"
(2019) (Tessa Thompson, Chris Hemsworth) (PG-13)
Sci-Fi/Action: A young woman joins a secret organization that deals with extraterrestrials and must contend with the dangerous behavior and plans of some of those that have newly arrived on Earth.
Ever since she was a little kid who encountered a small extraterrestrial in her bedroom and then saw Men in Black agents wipe her parents' memories of the event clean, Molly (TESSA THOMPSON) has been enamored with all things alien and MiB related. Years after looking for clues, she finally sees them in action, figures out where their headquarters is located, and waltzes into the place dressed in the usual attire and acting like she knows what she's doing.
She's captured but impresses Agent O (EMMA THOMPSON) enough that the MiB leader assigns her to the London bureau where she's to work for High T (LIAM NEESON). There are rumors that something is amiss there, no doubt stirred by Agent C (RAFE SPALL) believing that favored son Agent H (CHRIS HEMSWORTH) is coasting by on nothing more than a past "I saved the world" moment with High T a few years back. Nonetheless, Agent H is assigned to escort an alien royal member, Vungus the Ugly (KAYVAN NOVAK), during his stopover on Earth and Molly, now dubbed Agent M, talks her way into accompanying them.
But other aliens show up and kill Vungus, but not before he gives Agent M a small device that others now want, including intergalactic arms dealer Riza (REBECCA FERGUSON) who once dated Agent H. With the help of another tiny alien, Pawny (voice of KUMAIL NANJIANI), the MiB duo try to keep the device out of the hands of the villains.
If they're fans of any of the previous three "Men in Black" films they might show some interest, as might those who are fans of the leads or anyone else in the cast.
For sci-fi action, some language and suggestive material.

James Bethell: It is not enough to attack the BNP. More people are employed attacking the BNP than by the BNP itself, but the BNP continues to grow
James Bethell: The Centre-Right must take on the BNP – and not let the Left off the hook for its role in Britain's neo-fascist revival
James Bethell is Director of Nothing British.
The BNP's decision to embark on the revocation of the constitutionally-explicit, utterly-revolting, whites-only membership policy marks the beginning of a new chapter in the politics of racism and extremism.
It gives Nick Griffin's modernising wing a "Clause 4" moment that draws a clear line across the BNP's bovver-boots and skinheads past, with all those associations with neo-fascism, Holocaust denial, sociopathic racism, criminality, violence and incompetence. Or at least Nick Griffin, newly flush with EU cash and a boost in the polls, will hope it does.
It opens up an opportunity for the Griffin-Barnes modernising wing to recast the British National Party into a popular nationalist party in the mould of Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front Nationale. In other words, a party that is principally an anti-immigration coalition with patriotic, Anglo-centric bells and whistles including opposition to the war, secession from the EU and lots of flag-waving.
Certainly, this releases the BNP from its electoral cul-de-sac of borderline racists and chippy chavs, and opens up new opportunities in mainstream British political opinion that is virtually untouched by the major parties. For instance, only 12% of the public agree with the BNP's overtly-racist view that non-white British citizens are not as British as white ones. But 68% agree that all further immigration to the UK should be halted, 44% think that the UK should withdraw from the EU and 56% are against local councils allowing immigrants to jump the queue (YouGov – The European Elections – 29th May / 4th June 2009).
The Equality and Human Rights Commission are calling the BNP's decision a "coup". Their critics say they have played into the hands of racists. Both miss the point. The EHRC have waited far too long to confront this nasty piece of racism – the sole remaining example of an overtly racist membership policy anywhere in Britain. It goes to show that, like bullies, racists crumble quickly when confronted. How have the 400 employees of the EHRC spent its £70m per annum budget if not dealing with this affront to British values, which is clearly publicised on the internet?
But it is also wrong to suggest that giving Griffin his moment is somehow a strategic mistake. The truth is that Griffin's move into the mainstream was inevitable so long as the major parties ignored many of the issues that concern voters in the heartland of Britain: the sloppy immigration policies, the wrong-headed multiculturalism, the ill-considered Europhilia and the softly-softly approach to Islamism. It was inevitable once the recession exposed the effects of globalisation on a British workforce that has been left ill-equipped – mentally and skills-wise – to compete with better educated, harder-working workforces in the developing world and at home. And it became inevitable when life becomes little more than a competition with your neighbours for scarce state resources.
What's the answer? Demonising them as fascist thugs clearly doesn't work. This stigma meant little to the 947,000 voters who overcame their misgivings and voted BNP in the European elections. Nor will MTV-style appeals to young voters, egg-throwing, mobilising Labour voters or any of the other traditional anti-BNP tactics. After yesterday's announcement and the inevitable abandonment of the white-only membership policy the BNP could be on track to win many more votes in future elections, if not at next year's landmark General Election then at the next Euro election in 2014. These are patient men and women who feel history is on their side.
The answer lies in a new approach. We need to address the bona fide concerns of Britain's hard-pressed working families. We need to give Britain's pessimist-ariat – that group of mainly male (semi-)skilled working-class voters who are extremely pessimistic about the future and place little or no faith in mainstream parties and institutions – a new sense of hope. By giving them skills. By reviving the sense of enterprise that mobilised previous generations to better themselves. We need to address questions of national identity that leave many confused. We need to shake off the strictures of the liberal elite and listen to the oft-repeated concerns of middle Britain about immigration, sentencing, the allocation of public services and their living environment.
If we don't the consequences of popular nationalism gaining, for the first time in British history, a foothold in our society is worrying. It creates a conveyor belt to violence for wierdos and misfits like David Copeland, the "Soho bomber". Attacks on minorities becomes more acceptable. Racism will return to the playground and workplace. And a confrontational dimension to our politics and society, long-gone since the ideological 1970s and 1980s, will return.

As running enthusiasts in Singapore look forward to the annual Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon this weekend, we thought it would be appropriate for a blog post on running and dental issues.
Marathons are a fun, competitive and increasingly popular activity around the globe. Training for a marathon and being actively involved in sport activities has a large number of health benefits, which one will appreciate in the long run (pun intended).
We have often written about the close connection between oral and overall health but do you know that there is a connection between oral health and sport activities as well? Despite the many benefits it may bring, we should not neglect the possible dental issues that may arise as a result of long hours of sport activities.
One of the common complaints is tooth sensitivity. When one is running, large amount of inhaling takes place and breathing is heavier with the mouth open, thus, exposing the teeth to the wind. Constant breathing in of air can heighten the discomfort of teeth sensitivity.
Other dental issues include jaw pain and tooth pain, especially during some serious training. A person may unknowingly tighten his or her jaws while exercising, causing pressure on the gums and nerves beneath the teeth.
Another area of concern would be the type of fluid intake during a run. Although fluids are essential to prevent dehydration and water is the most suitable drink for most workouts, many would prefer a isotonic beverage. It is advisable to rinse your mouth or drink a glass of water after consumption of a sport beverage. This is to prevent erosion of the tooth enamel and subsequent sensitivity of the tooth.
Just remember that whilst you are on the route to achieving a healthier lifestyle, you may want to take care of your mouth as diligently as how you would to achieve a fit physique.
Have you experienced any dental problems associated with running and/or other exercise? Do share with us. We would love to hear from you.

Of the 102 counties of the state of Illinois, 84 are organized into civil townships, usually referred to as simply "townships" in state law. All told, Illinois has 1,428 such townships, and they are the slight majority of the state's general units of local government.

The legal name of each township is the form "___ Township" or "Town of ".  State law specifies that no two townships in Illinois shall have the same name, and that, if the Illinois Secretary of State compares the township abstracts and finds a duplicate, the county that last adopted the name shall instead adopt a different name at the next county board meeting.  Nonetheless, many township names remain duplicates in Illinois.

History
Local government in the Illinois Territory, and the state of Illinois after 1818 statehood, was predominantly handled by the state's counties, although towns and villages also existed. Chicago was chartered as the state's first city in 1837.

The 1848 Constitution of Illinois granted the voters of counties the ability to divide their county into townships.

Other forms

Cook County is organized into townships except for the city of Chicago: in 1902, voters in Chicago chose to abolish the eight townships in the city.

There are 17 counties with no township government: Alexander, Calhoun, Edwards, Hardin, Johnson, Massac, Menard, Monroe, Morgan, Perry, Pope, Pulaski, Randolph, Scott, Union, Wabash, and Williamson.  Each of those counties is instead divided into precincts. Unlike townships, precincts have no functions in of themselves and all their administrative functions are performed by the county.

Organization and naming
The operation of townships in Illinois is established primarily by the .  Each county has the option to adopt or discontinue the township form of government.

Each township name is chosen by "in accordance with the express wish of the inhabitants"; but if "there is not a degree of unanimity as to the name", then the name may be chosen by the commissioners that are dividing the county into townships.  In addition, if the county board is petitioned by a majority of the township's voters, the board may change the township's name.

Each township is governed by an elected board, which consists of a "supervisor" plus four "trustees".  There are special provisions for automatic creation of a township in any city or village where township organization has been chosen for the county but some of the municipality's territory does not yet have an organized township; for consolidating the territory of a city across multiple townships into a single township for the city at the voters' request; and for creating an optional "coterminous" township that follow the borders of a city in most circumstances and allows the city council to act as the township board.

Powers
 enumerates general services that townships are allowed to spend money on:
 Public safety (including law enforcement, fire protection, and building code enforcement).
 Environmental protection (including sewage disposal, sanitation, and pollution abatement).
 Public transportation (including transit systems, paratransit systems, and streets and roads).
 Health.
 Recreation.
 Libraries.
 Social services for the poor and aged.
 Development and retention of business, industrial, manufacturing, and tourist facilities within the township.

Other parts of  authorize townships to provide cemeteries,  comfort stations, community buildings, hospitals, monuments, open spaces, parks, facilities for the developmentally disabled, and disposal of brush and leaves.  After approval by a referendum, a township may also provide water and sewer services and general waste collection.

Townships

Coterminous townships
Several townships in Illinois are coterminous, each having boundaries identical to an incorporated municipality.  Also called "townships within a city" or a "coterminous municipality," conterminous townships are governed by the state's Township Code, and granted additional privileges and powers.  Those privileges and powers include the ability to combine township offices and city offices except that of township supervisor whose role then becomes supervisor of general assistance, the ability for the city council to exercise all of the powers of the township board, and the ability to unilaterally annex small portion of adjacent township territory.

Some townships are functionally coterminous, in which a city completely encompasses their boundaries, but also includes additional territory of adjacent townships.  Examples of functionally coterminous municipalities include Granite City Township, Madison County; City of Peoria Township, Peoria County; and Capital Township, Sangamon County.  These townships retain coterminous status as it relates to the function and structure of their local government - for instance, Capital Township's roads are maintained by the Springfield Department of Public Works as opposed to a township highway commission.  However, unlike physically conterminous municipalities, functional coterminous municipalities can not unilaterally annex small portions of adjacent township territory, and must follow the regular annexation process laid out in the Illinois Municipal Code.

, coterminous townships included:
Alton Township, Madison County (Alton, Illinois)
Berwyn Township, Cook County (Berwyn, Illinois)
Champaign City Township, Champaign County (Champaign, Illinois)
Bloomington City Township, McLean County (Bloomington, Illinois)
Cicero Township, Cook County (Cicero, Illinois)
Cunningham Township, Champaign County (Urbana, Illinois)
East St. Louis Township, St. Clair County (East St. Louis, Illinois)
Freeport Township, Stephenson County (Freeport, Illinois)
Galesburg Township, Knox County (Galesburg, Illinois)
Godfrey City Township, Madison County (Godfrey, Illinois)
Macomb City Township, McDonough County (Macomb, Illinois)
Oak Park Township, Cook County (Oak Park, Illinois)
Quincy Township, Adams County (Quincy, Illinois)
River Forest Township, Cook County (River Forest, Illinois)
Warsaw Township, Hancock County (Warsaw, Illinois)
Zion Township, Lake County (Zion, Illinois)

***CHECK OUT THE DEAD ALIVE PODCAST***
Arguably one of the greatest horror- comedies of all time, Dead Alive, aka Braindead, is a marvel, a loving send-up of some of horror's most frequently navigated topography: the hubristic anthropologist messing where he shouldn't be messing, the bloodthirsty natives' unheeded ill portent, the silly jump scares, the nebbish with mommy issues.
It's also more violent than the movies it sends up — no mean feat considering some of the source material.
A Sumatran rat monkey is being hauled through an island jungle by an Indiana Jones type with a hilariously deferential native guide sidekick stereotype. They're set upon by spear-wielding natives (which usually inhabit exploitation films like Cannibal Ferox/Dr. Butcher, MD) and the naturalist hilariously proclaims, "PERMIT! I have a permit!" to the group of pre-literate savages out for blood.
The naturalist fights them off with modern weaponry, to paraphrase the Hillaire Belloc poem:
Whatever happens, we have got
The Sterling gun, and they have not.
However, he is soon bitten by his cargo, his limb amputated via machete to prevent the spread of a rabies-type infection and wouldn't you know it, the monkey ends up in a New Zealand zoo.
Delicious stuff.
Meanwhile, meet Lionel, a local nebbish and the unlikely love interest of Latina shopkeep Paquita, who thinks it's been foretold by her tarot card-reading grandma, that they're meant to be together even if she has her heart set on the delivery man.
With the heavens' blessing, she pursues her man and Lionel and Paquita have a first date at the Wellington New Zealand Zoo, where Lionel's overzealous mother Vera, who's tailing the duo, is bitten by the rat monkey. She quickly recovers and stomps the beast to death with her shoe (and these rat monkeys have an incredible backstory, the product of forced copulation of smaller monkeys by giant rats that came over on a slave ship).
When Vera gets home, her wound festers and her face peels in terrific fashion, right over dinner and in front of the guests. Despite Lionel's best impromptu glue surgery, pieces of Vera start falling into her soup. Soon, mom is a rapacious zombie and Lionel is fending her off with an amulet given to him by his girlfriend's soothsaying grandma.
She won't succumb to her wounds in hospital though, escaping, shambling through town, biting everything in her path, before finally getting hit by a bus and sent flying through the window of the local bodega: "guess she was discharged a little bit early!"
When the undead mommy dearest meets her demise (sort of), she's laid to rest in a set piece that has to be seen to believed. And rushing to Lioniel's aid: a kung-fu fighting minister who "kicks ass for the Lord."
And that's only the first half. What follows once sleazy Uncle Les enters the picture is some of the most unbridled, unhinged, goriest and goofiest splatterific cinema you're ever likely to see. Those that only know director Peter Jackson from his years spent in the Shire and Middle Earth will be (hopefully wonderfully) aghast at what he was up to earlier in his career (for more early PJ brillance, do check out Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles.)
Hallelujah. Bear witness to the wonders of Dead Alive. You'll be glad you did. And did we even mention the lawnmower scene?

More Affordable Housing Comes Online
HOPE SF's first building Potrero Block X is now complete and features 71 affordable housing units. - Photo Courtesy Bridge Housing
Union Labor Builds Potrero Block X
By Jacob Bourne
HOPE SF, known as "the nation's first large-scale public housing revitalization project," is underway with its first building Potrero Block X now complete utilizing 100 percent union labor. The 109,000 square foot building is located at 110 Connecticut Street and offers 71 housing units. The units are mostly two-bedrooms with one and three-bedroom units as well. The residences are all affordable with 18 for households earning between 40 and 60 percent of the Area Median Income and 53 for existing public housing residents. At full buildout, the Potrero HOPE SF master planned development will have 1,600 units with 50 percent of the units market-rate and 50 percent below-market-rate.
HOPE SF was originally conceived in 2005 as the need to revitalize the City's distressed public housing sites that had been built after World War II was identified. BRIDGE Housing was selected as the developer of Potrero HOPE SF by the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development in 2008, while Mercy Housing and Related Companies were selected to develop Sunnydale HOPE SF, which is underway parallel to the Potrero initiative. Cahill was the general contractor for Potrero Block X and Van Meter Williams Pollack the architect.
Due to concerns about gentrification that can occur with revitalization initiatives, one of the essential features of HOPE SF is the commitment to not displacing any existing public housing residents and to create a thriving community.
"We have long recognized that you can't just build new buildings and expect everything to be perfect," said Lyn Hikida, Vice President of Communications for BRIDGE Housing. "There's a lot of community engagement and community building that's an important part of creating something that's really successful and that feels right for everyone."
Beyond just building the streets and structures of Potrero HOPE SF, BRIDGE Housing is also implementing various types of programming for the residents. From yoga classes to Zumba and gardening, the activities are subject to change depending on the needs of the residents.
"Early on we designed services around the community's needs," said Marie Debor, Vice President and Director of the Potrero development for BRIDGE. "It's going to be vital to connect the community once all the buildings are complete, so a big part of it will be the community center. We're creating programs that serve existing and new residents."
Potrero Block X is a five-story building with 6,320 square feet of community space and 29 off-street parking spaces on a 0.69-acre site. The project features laundry facilities on each floor and washers and dryers in the three-bedroom units. Other amenities include a multi-purpose room, bike room, community room with a kitchen, play area and will be equipped for meetings. There's also an outdoor gathering space with two BBQ areas, play area and outdoor seating with city views. The building will contain a service provider's office, a live-in manager occupying one of the units and security patrol. The project is aiming for LEED Platinum status and has an array of renewable energy sources including roof-top solar panels that will power the common areas of the building.
The next phase of Potrero HOPE SF is across the street from Block X, referred to as Block B, with demolition to occur later this year and completion of construction by 2021. The master planned development is expected to be delivered over the course of the next ten years. The development will offer three to four acres of open space, a community center and 15,000 square feet of retail. A transit plan associated with Potrero HOPE SF will make improvements to the nearby Muni bus lines.

Olive oil is also an antioxidant. It has a very high concentration squalene as compared to the other types of skincare oils. That is what gives olive oil the extra antioxidant boost.


President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC,'s experience during his election campaign rally in Abeokuta today, has been described by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as a direct response by Nigerians to his stewardship in the past three and a half years.
In a statement signed by the party's spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP who described the incidence as "the public pelting and jeering" of the APC, said the development showed that like other states in the country, Ogun is ready to reject the APC-led administration at the polls.
"After the unpalatable encounters in all his rallies, Mr President needs no further signal to show him that the people have completely rejected him, despite his false performance indices. Nigerians are determined to deal him a crushing defeat on February 16 by voting en masse for the people's candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the next President of our country," the statement read in part.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush might not be over just yet.
Three weeks after their split, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was spotted with her ex in New Orleans, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
She was in Louisiana for an appearance at a Dress for Success charity fashion show on Saturday.
"He picked her up from the charity event," the source tells Us.
The reality star, 28, began dating Bush, 24, the running back for the New Orleans Saints, in April 2007. Although her split with the football player — who was in town for NFL training camp — was amicable, her siblings have said they want to see a reunion.

Rainy season is the most romantic, beautiful season. Remember! How eagerly we wait for the first rain. The smell of wet soil, the watery sky, the first raindrop…it feels so awesome. Don't you feel like dancing in that rain? Don't you feel like walking in that rain with your sweetheart? It brings a smile to our face, a joy in our life; it's a very different but beautiful feeling.
Imagine! You are walking on an empty road with your crush. And suddenly it starts raining. You have forgotten to bring your umbrella but she has it. She asks you to share her umbrella. You take it in your hand and she comes close. It rains so heavily that you both get wet and the umbrella fails to do her job. You come closer; put your hand on her shoulder. She hesitates at first but blushes later. A mixed feeling…that awkwardness, that happiness, it's just amazing. No matter how heavily it rains, how much wet you get; you just want to live that moment to the fullest. You love the rain; you will love everything around you. It has been said that love and rain have strong bonding. When we look at rain we miss our loved one. Why? The reason is still unrelieved. Rain has a magic in itself. It makes you feel loved, it makes you feel happy and it can even make you feel cry.
Imagine! Your group has bunked a lecture. Suddenly it starts raining. You have only one/two umbrella and 2/3 people are struggling in one umbrella. You fight, you tease, you get wet still you enjoy that moment. A plate of pakode and a strong tea makes your tummy feel yummy. Those raindrops don't just touch your body but your soul too. That moment is captured in your heart and you will remember it for lifetime. Friends+rain+bunked lecture+pakode+hot tea= a perfect combination.
