Arkansas senator blasts WeWork at hearing: Adam Neumann 'is the reason people in America are open to socialism'
Meghan Morris
The WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann's leadership was under scrutiny at a Senate hearing on Tuesday.

Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas derided the WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann's leadership at a Tuesday hearing. He also blasted law firms and Wall Street, saying they contributed to WeWork's fall.
Cotton asked the Securities and Exchange Commission's chairman, Jay Clayton, whether the agency would investigate WeWork and Neumann and said the SEC should put processes in place to catch similar problems earlier.
The senator said Neumann's poor leadership was an example of why voters were drawn toward socialism.
For more stories on WeWork, click here.
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas spent five minutes at a Senate hearing on Tuesday blasting the WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann's leadership.
At a hearing with the Securities and Exchange Commission's chairman, Jay Clayton, Cotton — who has derided Neumann in the past — questioned how the entrepreneur could legally exert so much control over his company and why the SEC didn't step in sooner.
Clayton said the SEC did not comment on investigations. In November, Bloomberg reported the agency was scrutinizing whether WeWork broke any financial rules.
WeWork declined to comment on Cotton's remarks. A representative for Neumann did not respond to immediate requests for comment. Since Neumann was ousted in late September, WeWork has attempted to distance the company from the controversial cofounder.
'Walk away from the smoking rubble of his company'
Cotton reprimanded Neumann for building a company with so many conflicts of interest and other issues that it could not go public this fall as planned, instead undertaking massive layoffs last month.
"That company just laid off 2,400 workers at Christmas, 20% of its workforce, due almost entirely to the incompetence, greed, and possible fraud and crimes of WeWork's founder, Adam Neumann," he said.
While Cotton said the SEC should be commended for its work catching issues with WeWork's filing to go public, he said there should be processes in place to find "this kind of fraud earlier, before so many workers are injured."
Cotton also said Neumann was "aided and abetted by some of Wall Street's biggest banks and law firms."
Nine banks, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, were underwriters on the initial public offering. The white-shoe firms Simpson Thacher and Skadden worked on the offering. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan declined to comment on the remark.
Cotton blasted WeWork for issues like assuming 100% occupancy of its buildings and pilloried metric community-adjusted EBITDA — "whatever that means," he said.
Because Clayton said he would not talk about any investigations, Cotton gave a thinly veiled hypothetical. The senator asked about a real-estate company, preparing to go public, at which the founder's wife and nephew were employed in positions that sounded like "phony, made-up jobs to me," like wellness officer.
Clayton said "transactions between the principals of companies ... are something where transparency is essential."
Cotton also highlighted a September story in The Wall Street Journal that said Neumann transported marijuana on a private plane, something the senator said should be investigated.
"Today, despite all that, he is a billionaire," Cotton said, noting Neumann received a significant sum "to walk away from the smoking rubble of his company."
"Or as he preferred to call it," the senator continued, "not a company, but a 'state of consciousness.'"
Cotton noted a concern about WeWork's voting structure, which, like other companies, gave its founder significant voting power.
Neumann's supervotes "enabled him to hold his company hostage until the other investors paid him just to go away and stop destroying its value," he said.
Cotton ridiculed Neumann's exit package, saying "it's a scandal for someone who presided over the ruin of his company." He called Neumann's $185 million consulting fee — part of the exit package — helpful "in case they need tips on DJs, or other kinds of tequila."
Cotton, a Republican who's long been a supporter of free markets, also critiqued Neumann's leadership as hurting the ideology of capitalism.
"People like Adam Neumann and what he did to WeWork is the reason people in America are open to socialism," he said.
WeWork has drawn significant political scrutiny from other politicians with opposite political views. In a tweet last month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts criticized Neumann's exit package in light of the massive layoffs.
"This is another example of a rigged and corrupt system," the Democratic presidential contender wrote.
At a congressional hearing in September, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed to WeWork as an example of the dangers of opening up private markets to everyday investors. At that point, WeWork had not yet shelved its IPO or ousted Neumann.
"They had raised on a previous valuation of $47 billion, and now they just decided overnight, 'Just kidding, we're worth $20 billion,'" Ocasio-Cortez said during the hearing. "They've cut it by over half."
If an individual "invested in WeWork thinking that it had a valuation of $47 billion," she continued, "you're getting fleeced."

-Night time, long exposure shots with base iso(iso 100).
Induro At 313 tripod+Induro BHS2 ballhead Canon 30d camera 560mm lens(Canon 200mm f/2.8+Canon 2x Mk II+ Kenko 1.4dgx) f/13 iso 100 1/3s Normally for this shot needed a shutter speed of 1/560*1.6s=1/900s. I am not sure anyone can make this sharp shot at 1/900s with the 560mm lens handheld, from this distance(25-30m), perhaps at 1/1600s. Let's calculate:1/3s at iso100 means 1/6s at iso 200, 1/12s at iso 400, 1/24s at iso 800, 1/48s at iso 1600, 1/96s at iso 3200, 1/192s at iso 6400, seems this shot is absolutely hopeless without using the tripod. If a non-moving owl (for 1/3s) sitting on the roof, the tripod is perhaps the only chance to make this photo. On the other hand I am not able to make such sharp photo at this focal length at 1/3s with a tripod everytime I try it, but around 1/30s-1/60s I can quite consistently possible to make sharp photos at this focal length. It is still a big gain compare to the handheld 1/1000-1/1600s I would otherwise chose, meaning I can use much lower iso speeds for non-moving subjects.
With tripods there is no limit. You can make sharp shots with any shutter speed, but between 1/30s-1-2s is the most difficult. This is why the tripods has a very good value in photography, because it extends the limits considerably. Without tripods ususally, 1/focal length shutter speed is needed to make sharp shots on a Full frame camera, 1.5/1.6 faster on Aps-C or Dx cameras.
Not everybody like tripods especially tripods are very uncomfortable if you move frequently and makes photos at the same time. In this cases I sometimes use "duopod" setup, which mean fix to legs to a desired level, the third one keep in up position. This setup let me not use the ballhead but framing with tilting the two legs simply. In bright sunlight with big apertures the tripod is not necessary, as well in many other circumstances. If we have enough shutter speed, we don't need the tripod usually, but with long telephoto lenses for distant objects definitely helps.
The Induro At 313 is an excellent Tripod at a very good price. I wanted to have a really sturdy tripod for wildlife photography to use with long lenses. Weight was not on my priority list, because I plan to mostly go with car, and not hiking with the tripod. After some market search my choice narrowed to the Manfrotto 055 XProb and the Induro At 313 tripods. Why this models ? I'm approximately 6″ tall (183cm) and want a very sturdy, strong tripod to minimize camera shake. The Manfrotto is approximately 10-15 percent more expensive than the Induro AT 313 tripod.
I think both tripods are very good in terms of price/performance.
Both Tripods has three leg sections.
-The Manfrotto has an ability to turn the central column in vertical position, the Induro stays as it is.
-It is perhaps strange, but I thought the Manfrotto is not stable enough for my liking, especially with the center column at the highest position(which is needed for my height).
-The Induro is little higher and feels more stable.
-The Manfrotto has clips leg fixing, while the Induro has twist type leg locks. The clips is a better solution according to me, but I can get used to the twist locks as well, one twist one direction, another in another direction. The only problem is to remember the directions.
-The Manfrotto goes more close to the ground.
-The Induro without the central column lifted is at my eye level, the Manfrotto is a little shorter.
-The Induro has spikes in the kit, the Manfrotto seems only plastic end of the legs. I better like the spikes, because I plan to use the tripod almost every time outside.
To sum both tripods has very good value. One can change which likes most. I choose the Induro because of the cheaper price, higher legs, the excellent finish and more stable construction.
I checked in the process the Induro At 213 and the Induro At 413 tripods as well. Obviously the At 413 is even more strong and stable, and higher as well. The At 213 is also very good as well, seems very sturdy with center column in upper position it is also around my eye level, but I prefer the bigger, more stable model, even if it is a little higher than me. I though about it after checking it is also good enough, but I don't want the risk to buy something not stable enough, and after buy a new one again. In size the At 213 would better fit to my height. The joints and the top plate was more reassuring of the At 313.
Basically all tripods has the same screw connection, which means you can use any type of heads on any tripods as you like. Better check before buy though perhaps there are some models which not fit to this pattern. You can use the native Induro or Manfrotto, and all other types you like. I get the native Induro BHS2 ball head, which has a very good price as well.
Seems the Induro At 313 works as expected. The height with all three legs in the extended position is significantly higher than my height(6″ 1.83m). It would even be better if it would be only two sections with little more length. In some situations the extra height is useful. I can use only two sections and lift the center column to my height as well. If I want to fix the lower section, the tripod needs to be little extended. I bought a cheap ballhead as well with the legs which had a problem after a half year, they changed it for free. I asked what was the problem, they say perhaps I tighten with too much power, the second one has no problem, I try to not tighten too strongly. The center column has a closing cup (down part), which is little wider than the rod itself, which can make marks on the foam of the legs if I close the legs to tightly. If I put a heavy camera+lens(2kg+) combo and want to move with the tripod, the added weight is noticable. This tripod is better for relatively static usage. The tripod has three positions, if you don't care enough and try to fix a middle position (there are three engravings in the center part of the tripod (spider) according to three positions, which connects with the legs, where there is a moving joint element the black painting can be scratched from the metal if the element on the legs is not in proper position.
The Induro At 313 tripod is Highly recommended ! This is currently (arguably depend on budget and usage) the best value tripod in the market.

Art Fair on the Horizon
This year marks the 150th year of South Haven and the 61st anniversary of the South Haven Art Fair, June 29 & 30 from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. in Stanley Johnston Park.
The South Haven Art League held the first fine arts fair in 1958 at Stanley Johnston Park, then called Oakland Park. Known as the "Clothesline Exhibit", 50 Michigan artists exhibited over 300 paintings on clotheslines and easels that year. In the last six decades, the art fair has expanded to a two-day juried event and evolved to include more than 120 artists and thousands of works of art.
"Art Fair is a wonderful part of the busy summer season in South Haven and we look forward to visitors coming out to see the work," said South Haven Center for the Arts Executive Director Kerry Hagy. In the last 61 years the event has expanded to include local artists, as well as artists from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Florida and a handful of other states, but in 2019 the fair is moving back to its roots. "This year we are proud to present the work of over 50 Michigan artists, which constitutes over half the work in the fair." said Hagy.
This year's fair features unique fine and functional artwork created by more than 100 talented artists working in acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, drawing, sculpture, photography, metal, glass, wood, clay and jewelry made from
Artist Sheri Dion of Grand Rapids, Mich. demonstrating her unusual technique of "fire painting" at art fair in 1968.
precious and non-precious materials. The SHCA awards a $500 prize for Best in Show. The second-place winner is awarded $250 and third place receives $100.
This year's judges are sculptor Geoffrey Novelli, and watercolorist, mixed-media painter and muralist Anne Farley-Gaines. Novelli is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and composes works in marble, limestone, cast iron, sandstone, copper, glass and rubber. Gaines grew up in South Haven and now lives and works in Chicago. She creates multi-media paintings, and large-scale murals consisting of paint, mosaic and ceramic that adorn many public spaces across the U.S.
New to the art fair this year will be a family art tent featuring arts and crafts for kids of all ages. Guests can also enjoy a variety of food, including wood-fired pizza, BBQ, Italian ice, coffee drinks, smoothies, waffles on a stick and more.

Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase balance confers respiratory-droplet transmissibility of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in ferrets.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2011 Aug 23; 108(34):14264-9.PN
A novel reassortant derived from North American triple-reassortant (TRsw) and Eurasian swine (EAsw) influenza viruses acquired sustained human-to-human transmissibility and caused the 2009 influenza pandemic. To identify molecular determinants that allowed efficient transmission of the pandemic H1N1 virus among humans, we evaluated the direct-contact and respiratory-droplet transmissibility in ferrets of representative swine influenza viruses of different lineages obtained through a 13-y surveillance program in southern China. Whereas all viruses studied were transmitted by direct contact with varying efficiency, respiratory-droplet transmissibility (albeit inefficient) was observed only in the TRsw-like A/swine/Hong Kong/915/04 (sw915) (H1N2) virus. The sw915 virus had acquired the M gene derived from EAsw and differed from the gene constellation of the pandemic H1N1 virus by the neuraminidase (NA) gene alone. Glycan array analysis showed that pandemic H1N1 virus A/HK/415742/09 (HK415742) and sw915 possess similar receptor-binding specificity and affinity for α2,6-linked sialosides. Sw915 titers in differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial cells and in ferret nasal washes were lower than those of HK415742. Introducing the NA from pandemic HK415742 into sw915 did not increase viral replication efficiency but increased respiratory-droplet transmissibility, despite a substantial amino acid difference between the two viruses. The NA of the pandemic HK415742 virus possessed significantly higher enzyme activity than that of sw915 or other swine influenza viruses. Our results suggest that a unique gene constellation and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase balance play a critical role in acquisition of efficient and sustained human-to-human transmissibility.

South Shields manager Jon King admitted his side could have played better at Bishop Auckland on Friday – but was 'over the moon' after they booked their place in the next round of the FA Vase with a 2-1 win.
Ben Riding's header and a late winner by Warren Byrne secured a 14th consecutive victory for the Mariners, in front of a travelling support thought to be in excess of 500.
In the video above, King talks about the 'unbelievable' support, and why he was delighted his team rewarded those who made the journey.
He also discusses the character of the side, and talks about the upcoming challenges.

Warren Byrne scored a dramatic late winner as South Shields marched on with a superb 2-1 FA Vase win at Ebac Northern League Division One side Bishop Auckland on Friday.
The Mariners were made to work all the way against a Bishops side which was reduced to 10 men during the first half, and they secured a remarkable 14th consecutive victory thanks to goals from Byrne and Ben Riding.
A tremendous crowd of 844 – well over half of which appeared to be Shields supporters – watched on as the teams battled for supremacy at Heritage Park.
The first half was a somewhat quiet affair in front of goal, but it was anything but quiet off the pitch, where the travelling fans made their presence felt and backed their team to the hilt.
Bishops created an early opportunity which Stuart Thompson chipped over from just outside the box, while Shields goalkeeper Scott Pocklington – formerly of the Two Blues – produced a superb save with his right foot to deny Andrew Johnson, who shot across goal after being found by David Palmer.
The first clear-cut opportunity for the Mariners came when a ball over the top played in Adam Sakr on the inside-right of the box, but home goalkeeper Mark Bell beat it away to keep the scores level.
Shields took a grip of the game from there, and a long throw from Riding almost fell to Daryll Hall before the hosts scrambled it clear.
Riding was denied just after the half-hour when Hall's header across goal was touched by a defender just before he could divert it in, and a crucial moment in the game arrived soon after.
With 36 minutes on the clock, Wayne Phillips nicked the ball in midfield and went on a driving run through the centre before playing Byrne in on goal. Thomas Bott tried to save the hosts with a sliding tackle, but brought down Byrne and was given his marching orders for a professional foul.
Shields were unable to take advantage before half-time, and after the break it remained difficult to break Bishops down.
Michael Turner tried his luck from distance and bounced a shot wide, while at the other end, Pocklington had to tip over a dangerous cross from the left and Thompson curled an effort past the post.
Shields' patience was beginning to be tested, but on 62 minutes, they broke the deadlock.
Smith received the ball just inside the Bishops half and floated a ball into the box which was met by Riding, and his header from 10 yards looped up and over Bell and into the opposite corner.
Supporters rushed to the front of the stand to celebrate with Riding and his jubilant team-mates, but the job was not yet done for the Mariners.
Substitute David Foley almost put a nail in the hosts' coffin with their next attack, though, as he cut inside from the right before drilling a shot not far wide.
Bishops fired a warning to their visitors when the ball was played through to Johnson and he was just beaten to it by Pocklington, who took a kick in the process.
Adam Nicholls also twice fired wide as the Two Blues searched for a leveller, and when Sean Tarling went down in the penalty area with 11 minutes left, they were handed a penalty. Johnson stepped up and drilled it low into the bottom-right corner to draw Bishops back on level terms.
That set up the possibility of extra-time, but just as they had done at Chester-le-Street in midweek in the Durham Challenge Cup, Shields came up with an answer.
Julio Arca had an effort deflected over, and the resulting corner from the former Sunderland and Middlesbrough midfielder dropped for Leepaul Scroggins. He held off the challenge of his defender and played the ball to Turner, whose delicate pass across goal was gratefully received by Byrne and dispatched into the net to spark more scenes of huge celebration.
This time, there was no way back for Bishops, who instead spent much of the closing stages penned inside their own half.
Foley could have made it 3-1 when he latched onto a long pass by Pocklington, but Bell kept out his effort across goal, and Arca had a low free-kick saved.
Shields' players were given a heroes' reception as they returned to the dressing rooms after the final whistle following a 14th consecutive victory.
They march on in the FA Vase, with the draw for the next round set to take place on Monday.
SOUTH SHIELDS: Pocklington, Galpin, Turner, Hall, Riding, Smith, Sakr (Foley 56), Scroggins (c), Byrne (Briggs 88), Arca, Phillips. Subs not used: Young, Bulford, Ramsey.
Goals: Riding (62), Byrne (85).
Attendance: 844.
South Shields are set to have a near-full strength squad to choose from for Friday's FA Vase tie at Bishop Auckland.
Striker Lewis Teasdale is suspended, but Mariners manager Jon King is expected to be able to call upon the rest of his squad for the 7.45pm kick-off at Heritage Park.
Shields will be backed by a large travelling support, with more than 130 fans having signed up for coach travel to the game.
The Mariners will be attempting to bridge a one-division gap, with Bishops currently mid-table in Ebac Northern League Division One, but go into the game in extremely confident mood.
They have won their last 13 games in all competitions, with the most recent victory coming on Tuesday as a last-gasp goal secured a 2-1 Durham Challenge Cup triumph at Chester-le-Street.
Shields manager King said: "Tuesday was a tough game against a good side.
"A few lads hadn't played for a while, so it was always going to take a little bit of time to get back into the swing of it.
"We rested a few players and still come away with a good result against a good side.
"That has set us up for a big occasion against Bishop Auckland. We're possibly going into it as underdogs, like we did against Washington.
"The lads will need to raise their game again. We've watched Bishop Auckland on a few occasions and they've got some very good players, but although it will be tough, if we show anything like we can, we'll get the result we need."
King is expecting the large travelling support to make a big difference for the Mariners.
He added: "Even on Tuesday, we must have had between 150 and 200 there on a cold, October night.
"It's great to have all of those fans travelling down on the buses, and we've also got to remember all of those who will be making their own way there. I'm sure we'll have a massive following.
"Hopefully we'll get a result, and I'm sure we will do if we play anywhere near like we can."
David Foley scored twice in Tuesday's win, and is relishing competing in the FA Vase.
He said: "I think a few of us had our heads on the Friday game on Tuesday. It would be very nice to go far in this competition.
"I didn't know much about the competition until I came here, but it offers a chance to play at Wembley, so that's enough motivation for anyone.
"The fans are going to travel in their numbers and they have been brilliant here from the word go. I'm sure we'll take a lot of supporters down, and they will be a big help."
Kick-off at Heritage Park is at 7.45pm, while the supporters' coaches will depart Mariners Park at 5.30pm. For enquiries, please call 0191 454 7800.

DANNY ROSE was a surprise absentee from Tottenham's squad to play Arsenal - and Jamie Redknapp has a theory why.
Rose featured in Spurs' last match against Crystal Palace.
He played for England during the international break too.
But he wasn't involved against the Gunners and Redknapp thinks the end is nigh for the left-back in north London.
"I don't think it's going to end well from a Spurs point of view," Redknapp said on Sky Sports.
"Earlier this season he was complaining that the club need to go to the next level with the financial situation with players' wages - maybe that hasn't struck well with the manager.
"He's done it before. If players don't perform, he doesn't care.
"He's all about the team and the ones that want to be in the team are with him, and the ones that are not he will push aside.
"That maybe the case for Danny Rose.
He's a fantastic player but if he's not on board he may to go elsewhere.
"I'm sure he's probably been tapped up by other clubs because he's one of the best left-backs around.
Starsport understand Rose is off to Man Utd in the summer.
He's set to head north for around £45m, after snubbing interest from Chelsea.

Forget trotting off to the street stalls in New Delhi or off to the exotic food markets in the Middle East. Take a look at these top four recipes, taken from Street Food Revolution for some foodie inspiration.
Bánh Mì 11's Imperial BBQ Pork takes inspiration from the charcoal-grilled pork that is served with rice vermicelli and fresh herbs (bun' cha) on the streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter, but they make it more exciting by adding in the flavours of a marinade. The meat has a sweet taste from being caramelised but there's also a hint of shallots and spring onions.
Serve hot off the barbecue in a lightly toasted baguette, with carrot, mooli, cucumber and fresh coriander, for a sumptuous daytime snack.
Heat up a heavy-bottomed saucepan and ensure there's no water residue in it before you pour in the sugar. Stir the sugar in a circular motion, using a wooden spoon. When the sugar has turned a light brown colour, carefully pour in the hot water and cook on the stove for just 20 seconds. The key is to be swift here and err on the lightly brown side, as the sugar burns quickly and could build up enough smoke in minutes to set off your fire alarm.
In a bowl, combine the pork, shallots, spring onions, lemongrass (if using), garlic, fish sauce, salt and pepper; finally pour in the caramel sauce. Mix well and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
When you are almost ready to cook, thread the pork onto bamboo skewers and put on the barbecue (or under a grill), ideally a charcoal one to give the meat a subtle, smoky aroma. Lightly toast the baguette on the barbecue (or, again, under a grill) and then halve lengthways and spread the lower half with a thin layer of mayonnaise and pâté. Remove the grilled pork from the bamboo skewers onto the baguettes and add cucumber, coriander and some fresh chilli (if you dare). Cover with the top baguette half and you are ready to enjoy your bánh mì!
Key falafel fact: they are cooked by being fried – not boiled and then fried. If you try the latter, they will explode. Not good in a street food situation. Useful equipment here is a food processor; a deep fryer or a large wok; a falafel tool (aala falafel in Arabic) and a fryer thermometer.
Soak the chickpeas and beans for 24 hours in a large bowl of cold water. Next day, drain them and grind them up with the vegetables, herbs, spices and salt in a food processor. You will find you have to keep scraping the sides and returning the paste for successive grinding to get it sufficiently finely chopped.
Heat the oil for deep-frying to 180ºC. Stir the falafel mix in a bowl with the sesame seeds (if using) and the bicarbonate of soda.
This recipe has quite a high proportion of vegetables to beans and chickpeas. This is tasty but creates a risk: the danger is that the mixture will be too wet and need drying out in order to make a falafel ball that will hold together. This can be done by adding chickpea flour. If you start with a higher proportion of pulses – especially the broad beans, which are mushier than the chickpeas – you may well want to add water before frying to get the right consistency. When it's right it is like moderately firm mashed potato, or like saturated sand on a beach near the waterline.
Form walnut-sized balls of falafel in your hands and lower them into the fryer or wok with a slotted spoon.Carry on until the fryer or wok is full of falafel. They will rise to the surface and the bicarbonate of soda will make them puff up. Turn them with the slotted spoon and remove when golden brown; drain on kitchen paper. Eat hot, or at least warm with hummus, baba ghanoush and tabbouleh.
Like a thick portabella mushroom, there's something very substantial about an aubergine. 'It has a meaty, smoky flavour' says Chris, 'and is able to withstand other flavour combinations – without being overpowered'.
Preheat a chargrill pan. Lightly brush the aubergine slices with olive oil. Season, then chargrill for 1–2 minutes on each side. Set to one side.
Meanwhile, fry the onion in the remaining olive oil.Toast the burger bun lightly, then place the aubergine on the base, followed by the fried onion, then the goat's cheese, followed by the sun-blushed tomatoes and tomato relish, tomatoes and rocket leaves. Top with the burger bun lid and enjoy.
"I remember him sending chocolate round by taxi in Prada shoe boxes," says Petra. "I call these truffles hi-energy because these truffles really give you a lift – even without the alcohol. It's to do with the cacao we use and it not having had the life-blood sucked out of it by endless refining. This means more of the earth-bound goodness and transcendental cacao boost."
Petra's addition is whatever good booze she has at the time. Oloroso sherry works really well, as does a nice Martinique rum.
Chop up the chocolate or power-grate in a food processor. Heat the sugar and the cream together until almost boiling; don't allow it to boil. Set aside for a few moments so that it cools from hot to warm. Too hot and the whole lot will split and need to be resuscitated with more cream, which will dilute the power.
Remove the set chocolate slab from the fridge, cut it into 40 cubes and form into shapes (I like to keep these pretty rustic – got a slight horror of rolling into balls). Toss in a bowl of cocoa powder and serve.
Store in the fridge, but eat at room temperature. The truffles are much more yielding and eye-rolling that way.
All four recipes have been taken from Richard Johnson's Street Food Revolution. A book showcasing the 'real food heroes' of Britain – those who work their own street food businesses here, in the UK.

D.C.F.H. Season Underway
By Courtney Tobe
As I took to the field for our first game of our 2010 season this past weekend I could not help thinking about preseason. The 9 days of intensive conditioning, three a day practices (yes that's right … 3 a days), sweltering temperatures on the turf, cold whirl pools, and a soreness that can't fully be comprehended unless you have experienced it. Everyday tasks like getting out of bed, getting dressed, and even sleeping all felt impossible, and yet even while our bodies were in such intense pain, we somehow found a way to make it back out to the field for the next session. Our fans didn't see the hard work that we put in during camp and neither did our opponents, but together we worked, struggled, and survived all to make it to this moment, when the referee blows the whistle and our season begins.
My name is Courtney Tobe, and I am a senior from Louisville, Kentucky, on Davidson College's field hockey team. I have officially survived four D.C.F.H. preseason's (something I never thought I would be able to say), and I have never felt as proud of the work that we put in during preseason as I do right now because we had an amazing opening weekend.
The weekend started out with a seven and a half hour long bus ride to our nation's capital. Seven and a half hours is a long time to be on a bus, but we managed to pass the time pretty easily with an impromptu J.Lo movie marathon, good conversation, and a lot of snacks. Although there were moments when the bus ride felt like it would never end, the trip was definitely worth it. We brought home two wins, a 5-0 win against Bryant on Friday and a 5-0 win against St. Francis on Saturday, and we had an amazing crowd turn out for the games.
One of the great things about D.C.F.H. is the amount of support we get from our fans. We had several parents make the trip to D.C. and two D.C.F.H. '09 alums, Sara Stevens, and Tyler Kirkland came out to show their support. To top things off, Darrel Young, a RB/LB for the Washington Redskins made an appearance at American University to watch our games and cheer for the Davidson Wildcats (all of the Davidson Dad's were extremely excited about this one). The weekend was a great way to kick off our season and has really inspired us to work hard this week in practice.
We have a lot of potential as a team and a lot of goals that we have set for ourselves this season. The next step we have to take toward reaching them comes this weekend with two games. We open up at home on Saturday against Towson at 12 p.m., and play Lafayette at Wake Forest on Sunday. These are two really good match-ups for us and we can't wait to hopefully add two more W's to our record.
Throughout our season, I'll be checking back in with game updates, funny stories, player interviews, and much more. Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. moments and please come out and show your support on Saturday! Go Cats! – Tobe #7

Winston Churchill charity accused of 'woke attack' on wartime leader after rebrand | UK News
09 Sep Winston Churchill charity accused of 'woke attack' on wartime leader after rebrand | UK News
A charity set up in Winston Churchill's name has been accused of bowing to a "woke" agenda by rebranding itself and removing pictures of the wartime leader.
The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust is now the The Churchill Fellowship and has taken down images of the man voted the greatest Briton in a 2002 BBC poll.
The charity was developed with Churchill's approval in the last years of his life and awards grants for Britons to pursue social and community causes.
A lengthy tribute and biography have also been removed and instead the "Our Story" section briefly mentions his wartime role in defeating the Nazis, while acknowledging "controversy about aspects" of his life.
"Many of his views on race are widely seen as unacceptable today, a view that we share," says the charity's webpage.
Churchill (pictured with President Roosevelt) was voted the greatest-ever Briton in 2002
It adds: "We acknowledge the many issues and complexities involved on all sides, but do not accept racism of any kind."
However, some of its own volunteers have reportedly accused it of "rewriting history".

"It beggars belief that the man who saved this nation in our darkest hour finds himself cancelled in this way," a source told The Sun.
Another volunteer said the organisation was "bandwagon-jumping" by saying Churchill was racist and accused its chief executive of launching a "woke attack instead of celebrating his life and achievements".
Churchill's statue in London's Parliament Square was defaced several times last year during Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion protests.
The plinth beneath the figure was daubed with "is a racist" and in June had to be boarded up for protection.
In a website statement on Thursday, the charity said it wanted to "set the record straight" and featured a quote in support from Churchill's grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames.
It also once again displayed a picture of Churchill.
The charity said it was "proud of his contribution" to fighting fascism "and of our connection to him" but also reiterated its anti-racism message.
Churchill's statue was vandalised during protests last year
The name change was not to "disown" Churchill, it added, but because the old name "was confusing to people and did not explain what we do".
It said: "Today there is international admiration for Sir Winston's wartime leadership in saving Britain and the world from Nazism.
"There is also controversy about his views on race. We acknowledge the many issues and complexities involved on all sides… None of this takes away from Sir Winston's enormous contribution to the world as we know it today."

Búlandshöfði ist ein Kap von 325 m Höhe im Westen von Island. Es liegt im Norden der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes am Ufer des Fjordes Breiðafjörður zwischen den Orten Ólafsvík und Grundarfjörður. Das Kap gehört zum Berg Höfðakúlur, der bis auf 597 m ansteigt. Hinter diesen kleineren Bergen liegt das vulkanische Gebirgsmassiv Helgrindur mit seinem höchsten Berg Kaldnasi (985 m).

Verkehrshindernis Búlandshöfði
Vor dem Bau der Straße 54 zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre stellte das Kap ein beträchtliches Verkehrshindernis dar.

Es gab nur zwei Möglichkeiten, wenn man um das Kap gehen wollte: Ein Weg lag über erodierte Hänge in 111 m Höhe und war an einigen Stellen so schmal, dass zwei Menschen bzw. Pferde nicht aneinander vorbeikommen konnten. Man stieg hier auch grundsätzlich vom Pferd und ließ die Tiere selbst ihren Weg finden. Der andere Weg lag unten zu Füßen der Felsnase und konnte nur zu Fuß bei Ebbe begangen werden, wobei man ähnlich wie beim Enni auf der anderen Seite von Ólafsvík über glitschige Felsen steigen musste.

Sagen bzgl. des Kaps Búlandshöfði
Eine Sage – Teil der Isländersaga Eyrbyggja – berichtet von zwei Sklaven, die versucht hätten nach einem Gefecht über diesen Weg zu entkommen. Sie hielten fälschlicherweise ihre Herren, die ihnen folgten und helfen wollten, für den Feind. Denn diese hatten sich einiger Pferde der Gegenseite bemächtigt. In ihrer Angst sollen sie am Kap abgestürzt sein.

Andererseits berichtet eine andere Geschichte von einer Frau, die hier Schafe gesucht hätte. Sie hätte eines gefunden, es festhalten wollen und wäre mit dem Tier ein Stück abgestürzt. Allerdings wären beide gerade noch vor den eigentlichen 88 m hohen Klippen im Fels hängengeblieben und in letzter Sekunde gerettet worden.

Geologie
Am Kap Búlandshöfði findet man rund eine Million Jahre alte und 30 bis 50 Meter dicke Sedimentschichten in 135 bis 180 Meter Höhe über dem Meer.

Unten befinden sich Tillit und Meeressedimente mit Muschelschalen aus dem Eismeer. Sie stammen aus einer Kälteperiode der letzten Eiszeit.

Oberhalb dieser findet man Meeressedimente mit Muscheln, die bei ähnlichen Temperaturen leben, wie wir sie nun haben (Warmzeit).

Ganz oben findet man Lavaschichten (das Land erhob sich aus dem Meer), die vom Gletscher abgeschliffen sind (eine weitere Kaltzeit).

Die Höhenunterschiede zwischen damaligem und heutigem Meeresspiegel erklären sich nicht nur durch teilweise tatsächlich höheren Meeresspiegel wegen Abschmelzen der Gletscher, sondern auch dadurch, dass sich das Land nach Abschmelzen der Eiszeitgletscher (vor ca. 10000 Jahren in Island) gehoben hat, weil die Last des Gletschers nicht mehr auf ihm lag.

Dieselben Muschelarten fand man übrigens in ähnlicher Höhe auch auf anderen Bergen der Umgebung.

eWeek: Google Apps Turns 3 as It Fends Off Microsoft, IBM in the Cloud
eWeek has a good summary today of the state of the cloud-based messaging and collaboration market...
Google finds itself in a daunting position on Feb. 22, the third birthday of Google Apps Premier Edition. The company is trying to dislodge legacy on-premises installations from Microsoft and IBM while fighting off SAAS solutions from those same companies. It also has to compete with new cloud offerings from Cisco Systems, as well as from a slew of startups such as Zoho, Mindtouch and others. But Google, Microsoft and IBM will be the main protagonists in the battle for pre-eminence in the market for cloud, or Web-based, collaboration software.
There's some interesting posturing from my competitors...
Markezich claimed Microsoft has an advantage over Google because customers who choose to migrate to Google Apps from Microsoft or IBM still can't get the migration "spend out."
Moreover, Markezich claimed three-quarters of Microsoft's cloud customers are coming from Lotus Notes, including pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, McDonald's and Pitney Bowes, he added: "The reason they are coming from Notes is they've always wanted to get off of Notes onto Microsoft, but they didn't want to invest in the hardware and skills in that transition. Microsoft Online gives them an easier, faster path to get to a higher caliber communications and collaboration platform."
Translation -- our software is too expensive, but we can buy the business this way.
Google, too, seems to have a weird view:
eWEEK asked Google's [Enterprise President Dave] Girouard how the company can compete with Microsoft and IBM, the incumbents in the enterprise collaboration market.
Girouard pointed to history for incumbents giving way to newfangled approaches in computing. Just as the evolution from mainframes to the client/server model gave birth to Microsoft, the client/server era is giving way to Google and its cloud, Girouard believes. ...
Girouard argued that all collaboration apps will move to the cloud in the next five years. He said: "Where are the new apps being built? What app that is not a cloud app has been launched in the last five years? There are none. The best non-cloud app I can think of is probably [Apple's] iTunes."
It's an interesting story but I would turn it around and say, what innovation has Google demonstrated in this space at all? We are focused on the future where email isn't the center of the universe, instant messages are a tool and not a wave, and bringing true business value to collaboration -- as we have for the entire history of this market. Girouard's view won't help him sort out what's important in his inbox (I'm quite sure of this based on a single past attempted interaction), what is needed to make decisions, and to do more than drive commodity pressure in the market.
I'm spending a lot more time on LotusLive, specifically LotusLive Notes conversations with customers, but the conversation starter is often the siren song of cloud/SaaS or commodity price pressure. This article sums up how IBM offers a more comprehensive total solution to customers--on-premises, cloud, or hybrid--with the only real offerings focused on a complete collaboration solution.

r u guys going to ban warpack anytime soon?
Warpack isn't a big issue in this game. If you think cheats are really affecting your experience, you're wrong.
What's happening is that you're worse than you think, and you aren't able to accept it. Denial, in one word.
Pretty sure seal clubbers are more detrimental for new player retention.
Yeah they will, just provide a replay/evidence and the dudes will get their accounts ban.
Hacks are low on the priority list of WoT problems. More important things: The 3/5/7 mm template needs some tuning or throw out that template and replace it with 5/5/5 or something different. Balance of premium ammo needs to be addressed as well. Why don't they add over-penetrations to the ammo mechanics so that if your ammo has too much penetration, you do greatly reduced damage (i.e. the shell passed completely through the tank and did minimal damage). This would force players to choose the correct ammo for the situation instead of just spamming gold ammo all the time.
They will never remove hacks from any online games, they would lose too many players. Unicums will also always deny that any such hacks exist.
If you were to ask those plebs how many hackers were in the game, they would basically say "Anyone who is better than me is a hacker"
Server side hacks don't exist, "cheater mods" are not a major problem, the only problem here is when bad inexperienced players fail to realize that just because they are beat by a better player, doesn't make that person a cheater.
Hi guys I farm 4k wn8 at tier 2 and I think my opinion is valued.
They always remove hacks from all online games, most are caught automatically or through player reports. Unicums will also always deny that they are better than 99.90% of the player population.
I think you had a slight grammar mistake, I fixed it for you.
Very succinctly put. OP no need to look for other responses beyond this.
Make Werpek Great Again !!!
Rerolls and seal clubbers are the real cancer.
Over-penetration sounds like a sensible idea. It should improve the game.
How about 3/6/6 for the templates. It'd keep the top tier from overpowering, and lessen the number of times we all are bottom. We'd be bottom less and middle more.
Oh yeah, and it'd lessen the top tier tank's edge somewhat.

1. I often play TD's. I have a pretty good idea where to put my tank where I can't been detected due to bushes. My Stug III, for example, starts with a high cammo rating, has a 5 skill crew, each with 100% cammo, I have cammo paint, and cammo netting. You're just not going to see me shoot you.
2. If a tank is moving in a straight line or if it's sitting static, I might sometimes make a guess as to location. There are some common bushes/locations where light tanks or TD's might park. If there's nothing to shoot at, or if a shell comes from the direction of a certain bush, I'll drop a shell or two into the area if only to flush out the tank.
3. I'll play sight range games. There's a delta between view range and detection range where players can play in the open. So if there's a tank spotted by a teammate, I'll keep that tank in view range, but keep out of its spotting range, and shoot with impunity. This is my M.O. with the e25, for example.
In my TD, my entire play style is designed to shoot while unseen.
No, cancer is a disease that kills you.
Re-rolls and seal clubbers only make you stronger.
Will you learn to use complete words spelled correctly?
I'm sure there are a handful of cheaters, there always are in every game. I'm guessing there are a lot more accusers, though. Just as an example, I never use any mods at all (play vanilla) and I get accused of hacking like once per week. Last night some guy swore that I shot him from outside the view or draw range. I have no idea what he was talking about, I think he was within the draw range and didn't realize it. I've also blind-shot people outside the draw range before, so whatever. Anyway... He was a decent player with like 10k-20k battles so he should have known better.
You see people accusing others of hacking all the time... it's usually in error. Either way, I'm pretty sure all illegal mods/hacks are banned and the people that use them get banned pretty quick as well. There's always some that slip through temporarily.

To: President Donald Trump
Declassify all evidence of Russian interference and host intelligence briefing for electors befor...
Justin Krebs
The Electoral College has the right and the duty to see the evidence that the CIA has related to Russia's impact on our elections. Declassify the evidence and brief the electors before they vote on December 19.
Just one week before the Electoral College meets to formally elect our next president, a bipartisan group of electors sent a letter to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper demanding an intelligence briefing related to Russia's impact on our elections in advance of their vote.
CIA analysts have apparently concluded that Russia sought to influence the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, and that Russia got the result it wanted. But the level of that involvement and what it means for our democracy is unclear because the CIA has not made the evidence public, briefed key members of Congress, nor fully updated members of the Electoral College who are being asked to determine the next president this coming Monday.
The electors and the American public deserve to hear the facts. We cannot presume to know what impact Russia had, whether this should negate the election night results, or what it might mean for future elections until we review the evidence. And while it is unlikely to change the election outcome, Americans deserve the confidence in our electoral system that comes with clearly knowing the threats we faced and whether they had impact.
The president has a responsibility, among his final duties in office, to give Americans the truth, and help us establish confidence in our democracy again. He can and must order the CIA to brief the electors and members of Congress in full before December 19, and declassify and disseminate the evidence for the public to consider as quickly as possible.

Trine University is a private non-denominational institution founded as Tri-State Normal College in 1884. It became Tri-State College in 1906 and Tri-State University in 1975. In 2008, Tri-State formally changed its name to Trine University. Alpha Delta Alpha arose in March 1924. Phi Lambda Tau was chartered by the State of Indiana on April 10, 1925. In 1929, the groups combined as Alpha Delta Alpha. On November 8, 1935, the Alpha Delta Alpha Fraternity was chartered as Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi. The chapter house was at 415 W. Gilmore Street. In 1946, the Chapter was re-designated Beta Omicron of Alpha Sigma Phi and at the time it was the largest fraternity on campus with 57 undergraduate members.
Alpha Gamma Upsilon was the third national fraternity to enter Tri-State College. Delta Epsilon chapter of Phi Sigma Chi secured its release from that organization and petitioned for a charter in Alpha Gamma Upsilon. Its petition was granted and Lambda of Alpha Gamma Upsilon was installed on May 8, 1949. The Chapter had the largest house on the Tri-State campus at that time. Sigma Delta Rho had its Iota chapter at Tri-State, from 1934 to 1935, when it disbanded nationally. Sigma Delta Rho's last active chapters joined Alpha Kappa Pi in 1937.
The Chapter had a house in 1947 at 207 S. Superior Street in Angola, Indiana. It relocated shortly thereafter to 113 North Superior Street. On May 22, 1965, the Chapter retired the mortgage on its house. In the late 1960's, the Chapter moved to 314 W. Broad Street. From 1969 to 1971, the Chapter was in a new house at 333 S. Summit Street. In 1973, the Chapter moved to 109 N. Superior Street. In 1974, Beta Omicron completed an addition to the house which increased live-in capacity to 20 men. By 1976, the Chapter had moved to 709 W. Maumee Street. The current chapter house is located at 110 S. Darling Street, Angola, Indiana.
The chapter newsletter is "Seven Points," which won the Chapter Newsletter Award in 1974. The alumni corporation issues "The Alumni Connection," which won the Alumni Newsletter Award for 1990. Beta Omicron Chapter won Tomahawk Awards in 1992, 1966 and 1955.
Matthew J. Hittle, Trine '04, served as an Undergraduate Grand Councilor in 2006-07 and Mark Stone, Trine '73, was an Undergraduate Advisor to the Grand Council in 1977- 78.
Wayne A. Champion, Trine '51, was Grand Chapter Advisor for over 20 years and received the Delta Beta Xi Award in 1967. "Champ's Silver Circle" honors his memory.
Terry Carter, Tine '51, has been a steady leader on the Alumni Corporation and was awarded a Delta Beta Xi key in 1989.
Will Lasher, Trine '01, served on the Fraternity Staff.
