This Is a Note That Scarface Thinks Lil Wayne is the Best
"He's not one of the best, he's probably THE best," he told HipHopDX last year.

Day 259: "Forgot About Me" feat. Lil Wayne and Bun B – Scarface, Emeritus, 2008
Yesterday, I wrote about a song that featured both Scarface and Lil Wayne, exploring a bit of the love triangle between Rap-A-Lot, No Limit, and Cash Money. Naturally, that led me to look into other songs that Scarface and Wayne might have done together, which led me to an interesting little Google find, via HipHopDX. In a video the site produced last year, they got Scarface on the phone talking about Wayne, and he offered up this quote:
I think that Wayne will go down in history as one of the best. He's not one of the best, he's probably THE best. Wayne, that's a dangerous lil' nigga, man… he'll be the greatest rapper of his time. He's a millennial. He'll be the greatest millennial of all time. Nobody can beat him. You give me a motherfucker that popped out their ass in the 1980s that's THAT good. Shout out to Lil Wayne, man. He's so fucking dope.
Scarface would know because he made this dope-as-hell song with Wayne and Bun B for his 2008 album Emeritus, where Wayne offers up such quotables as, "Just when they thought it was safe / I picked up the phone and called it a day" and "My mind is wandering, I can't find it / but ten times out of ten, my mind on the money." It's also amazing listening to this song back to back with the Willie D one from yesterday. If Wayne in 2000 was a kid with promise, Wayne in 2008 is a swaggering force on a track, an absolutely ferocious presence. Lucky for us, he's matched by 'Face's own ferocity, as well as Bun B's.
But I think the most telling thing, here, to echo Scarface's point, is Wayne's line of, "And it ain't over 'til the fat lady sing / and that bitch got a whole lot more weight to gain." Wayne already has a claim to being the greatest of all time, but I'd argue he's right that there's still plenty of that legacy left to be written. I'm still excited to see what Lil Wayne has up his sleeve, and if that puts me on the same side of history as Scarface, well, that's a good place to be.

and I do not see the RDAP URLs there. Only WHOIS URLs. Does filling out the RDAP URLs require IANA to contact the people who have made registrations, and ask what the proper URL is? Or am I missing something?
I'm a little unclear as to why this document is necessary. It seems like given the use of 30X redirects in -using-http, you could just start with an IANA root server and redirect your way down the tree. It may appear that this bootstrap mechanism saves queries to the root, but you could achieve the same effect or better using 301 redirects with appropriate caching.
10 Suresh Krishnan Request for Last Call review by GENART Completed: Almost Ready. Reviewer: Suresh Krishnan.
The matching is of labels from right to left... You and I know that, but will every reader understand that? With gTLDs upon us, will it always be clear to everyone that a registry entry of "nyc" matches "coffee.nyc", but does not match "nyc.com"? Will everyone understand that a registry entry of "example.com" matches "good.example.com", but does not match "goodexample.com"?
There's also nothing said about what happens if there are multiple matches at the same specificity. What if there are two Entry Arrays that both contain "example.com"? More likely, what if someone makes an error in specifying AS numbers, we get one entry for 10000-12000 and another for 12000-14000... and then we query for 12000?
It might be good to be clearer about exactly what matching is intended, and what doesn't match. Feel free to use my examples above, if that helps.
Now you're putting another requirement on IANA, which I'm not sure has been part of the discussion: they have to present the registries in the right format AND manage the TTL of the queries with the Expires header. Please, please make sure that IANA is very clear about the entire scope of what we're asking, and signs off on it.
according to their own registration policies.
I presume "their" refers to the registries, not to IANA, but that's ambiguous, and should be fixed. The above-mentioned registries do not have RDAP URLs, do they? Whence is IANA meant to get that information, in order to generate these new registries?
If IANA generates these by periodically re-processing the source registries to pick up changes, how current are the RDAP registries expected to be? Is it OK for them to be updated once a week? Once a month? Are we setting up any SLAs for the timeliness and reliability of these registries?
I presume that IANA has agreed to do that. Where will the URIs for those augmented registries be published. That is, how will a bootstrapping application know where to find them for the bootstrapping?
"Start with" implies ordering, but members within JSON objects are explicitly unordered. Do you actually care about the ordering, or should you just change "start with" to "contain" (and similarly change the subsequent "Following that")?
with two elements, each of them being a third-level array.
array are followed by the service URL array.
This is just an editorial comment, but this description seems unnecessarily complicated, and the "no sorting, but certain things have to be in the right order" is just odd.
two elements: in order, an Entry Array and a Service URL Array.
within these two arrays are not sorted in any way.
properties or values should be ignored by implementers.
1. Implementers don't ignore the unrecognized things; implementations do.
2. What does it mean to ignore an unspecified thing? It's not there to be ignored.
3. The "should be" makes people wonder whether it's supposed to be a 2119 key word, and why it's not. I suggest just using "are" -- that's simply the way it is.
You have names for these arrays in Section 3; why don't you use them?
And similarly for other times when you say "first element" or "second element".
I'm also thinking more and more that "longest match" should instead be "most specific match", especially for the IP address numbers.
Doesn't "CIDR format" need a reference?
URL value may be empty.
Nothing up in Section 3 said that a Service URL Array could be empty. If that's legal, that fact should be specified up there.
In the definition of "rdap-bootstrap-registry" you should note that the "description" member is optional, probably by saying, "and an optional MEMBER description and...".
07 Pete Resnick Discussing with WG. Not ready for Last Call.
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) provides "RESTful" web services to retrieve registration metadata from domain name and regional internet registries. This document specifies a method to find which Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) server is authoritative to answer queries for a requested scope, such as domain names, IP addresses or Autonomous System numbers.
Each author has confirmed conformance with BCP 78/79. Authors have reconfirmed there are no IPR issues following WGLC.
The WG spent a good deal of time working on the wording of the IANA section. Attempts were made to clarify the specific data output requirements without providing instruction to IANA on update frequency, policy, etc., since this work has the unusual complication that the registry policies actually will mirror whatever rules ICANN puts in place for updating their name and number registries.
This draft does specify that IANA should implement the required registries in JSON format, rather than specifying only output format requirements. This was previously corrected but has reappeared.
The document contains a normative reference to RFC 4627 which is obsoleted by RFC 7159; these do not currently appear in the downref registry.
This document was discussed at length at recent IETF meetings. Extra consideration was paid by the working group to the IANA Considerations section.

Rosario Dawson joins 'Unstoppable'
Rosario Dawson will star alongside Denzel Washington and Chris Pine in Fox's runaway train drama "Unstoppable," directed by Tony Scott.
Dawson just wrapped Chris Columbus film "Percy Jackson" and is currently shooting "Zookeeper" opposite Kevin James for MGM and Sony. She was last seen in "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith.
Washington formally withdrew from "Unstoppable" in early July, then came to terms two weeks later to put the pic back on track for a fall start. He's playing a veteran engineer who jumps into a locomotive with a young conductor (Pine) to stop an unmanned runaway train loaded with toxic cargo.
Julie Yorn is producing with Scott and Mimi Rogers, and Chris Ciaffa is exec producer. The script, penned by Mark Bomback, is loosely inspired by true events.

WHICH LETTER DOES YOUR DESTINATION START WITH?
Take 30 local bands, a crowd dressed for the beach and an unlimited supply of bright blue cocktails and you've got South Africa's best music festival. Amy Rankin gets wet and wild at Up The Creek.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm itching to get on the road. From Cape Town it's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive – three, if there's traffic – and I just want to leave. The car is packed to the brim with doonas, eskies, drums, fishing rods, wine and towels. Being a pedant, I go over my checklist one more time. "Just relax," says my husband Tim. "If we've forgotten something we can always borrow it." He's an ultra-mellow surfer dude, hence my need to overcompensate on the organising front. "We need to stop at Riviersonderend to get ice," I say. It's the last town before the dirt road turn-off to Up The Creek.
This will be my sixth Up The Creek and, for so many reasons, it's my favourite of all the South African music festivals on the calendar. Tickets are limited to about 3000 people, but the quality of music is as good as you'll find anywhere in the country. Anyone who's done their share of multi-day camping festivals will also appreciate that here there are toilets, proper toilets. OK, there are portaloos too, but they can be avoided.
At the entrance, we're welcomed by Christina Rovere. As the chief hands-on admin-organising accommodation-sorting festival helper, she's a woman you want to know. "I see you are glamping this year," she says, spotting the two bands on my arm. A couple of sweaty, dusty men greet us with wheelbarrows ready to carry our gear to the tent that's been set up by Heartbreak Motel – it's only 30 metres away, but we let them. After all, we are camping in style this year. Well, as stylish as mattresses in a large tent with a complimentary bottle of Old Brown Sherry and two tin mugs can be.
One of South Africa's best blues harpists, Dave Ferguson, jams with friends.
Escaping the heat on a tented li-lo.
Not long after setting off to find some friends – first-timers camping in the pleb section – I spy a white-bearded, wild-eyed man sporting a floral hat that looks as though it's been in a dress-up box since the 1980s. It's Anthony Bumstead, one of the organisers of this middle-of-nowhere gathering of licorice allsorts folk. He's shouting orders at the sound guys in preparation for the night's gigs. The first Up The Creek, held in 1990, was really just an awesome birthday party thrown for Bumstead by his pal Ann Sowden. The event grew, he went off to pursue other dreams and passions, but got involved again six years ago and now makes most of the musical decisions.
"The first thing we have to do," I say to the first timers when I finally locate them, "is go look at the river." Water bottles drained of H2O and refilled with gin, tonic and slices of lemon – we are nothing if not civilised – we head down to the water's edge. The daytime River Stage is one of Up The Creek's USPs. The bands play on shore while revellers on li-los, tyre tubes and giant blow-up animals kick back and watch the action. Last year the waterline was so low the stage was set up on a sand bank in the middle of the river, with everyone floating around it. This year is going to be quite different – we've had a lot of unexpected rain and the river is in full flow, meaning the stage has been shifted back to the grassy bank. The sky starts turning pale pink and we decide the river can wait till tomorrow – it's time to hit the bar.
"What's with all the blue drinks?" asks one of the newbies. They're called Titanics and have been the festival cocktail for as many years as anyone can remember. I can't really say what's in one – vodka (or perhaps it's gin), triple sec, blue curaçao and lemonade probably, plus whatever other alcohol is left over by Sunday, all served in half-litre plastic mugs. We order three and head to the post-sunset main stage.
Up The Creek is not really a platform for mainstream pop acts. Rather, you'll discover the best rock bands, shredding blues guitarists, African drummers, skinny-jean punks and a mix of alternative, experimental and folk music. Most are local acts, but those who aren't have some kind of link to South Africa.
Up The Creekers wallow in the Breede River while Beach Party perform on the river stage.
After years of trial and error, we've developed a set of rules for festival survival. Never go too big on the first night. No man gets left behind. Always pack antacids. With this mantra running through my soon-to-meet-iceberg Titanic'd brain, I head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long, hot day, and I want to be ready for it.
There should definitely be a rule about endless queues at coffee stations at 8.30am during a festival. As I hold a spot in one, Tim goes in search of another. Some 20 minutes later he returns with two steaming espressos. At this point I'm so close to the front, I order a second round – the obliging barista taking my BYO soy milk to make a cappuccino.
Even this early things are heating up, so we slather ourselves in sunscreen, don our cossies, blow up the tubes and head to the only place offering relief from the heat – the river. Almost immediately I lose Tim in the crowds of swimmers and blown-up dinosaurs, giraffes and sharks. The Nomadic Orchestra fires up jazzy brass instruments while I test the water's depth. Passers-by offer sips of beer and the MC announces the winners of the best floating bar competition. A couple of hours later – you lose track of time here – I finally locate Tim, who informs me grumpily that he left his fishing tackle behind. I sympathise for a minute, but have other priorities – two more Creek virgins are arriving from Cape Town and they need a proper welcome. I fetch the coldest drink I have – a bottle of tequila that has been buried in ice since our arrival.
"You made it!" I say, jumping with joy and pouring shots down their throats. Wandering aimlessly, we meet guys who've set up a tight rope between two trees and are attempting to walk across. On another stage, local comedians are cracking jokes while sarong-clad girls doze on picnic blankets. As attractive as these distractions seem, we decide to seek shade and replenish drinks before heading back down to the river for an afternoon swim.
Watermelons: first a meal, then a hat.
Cape Town band Grassy Spark plays to the crowd.
As evening draws near, it's time to regroup in front of the main stage. The energy is contagious – everywhere you look people are singing, jumping, laughing and dancing. The lead singer from world-music band Hot Water sets his guitar on fire and the crowd goes wild. School friends I haven't seen in years appear in front of me and we down shots from Coke bottle caps. The rest of the night turns into a blur of hugs, high-fives and drunken conversations. This Titanic is going down.
Sunday morning arrives and something stronger than a coffee is necessary. My aching head will only be saved by one thing: a plunge into the river. Well, that, two aspirin, a bacon-and-egg sandwich and a swig of free sherry. I rally the troops and we head down to the water for a lazy li-lo drift before the Sunday jam session, also known as the Church Service.
Musicians from all the bands get together, swapping in and out like tag teams and jamming some innovative and occasionally downright radical improvisational tunes. This is my favourite part of the festival, but it's also bittersweet – the end is near. I dance in my swimmers with my inflatable tube around my hips as pack-up time edges ever closer. I attempt a game of hide-and-seek with Tim, making excuses for my constant disappearances to say goodbye to one person or the other until he looks at me sympathetically and says, "Baby, there's always next year."

The Family Wealth Transfer Strategy (FWTS) from ivari offers clients an affordable, efficient way to provide an inheritance for their children*(1) while maximizing the value of their financial gift.
By using a Universal Life (UL) insurance policy as the vehicle to transfer non-registered assets, your clients immediately increase the value of their estate by minimizing income taxes and bypassing probate and estate fees.
When meeting with clients, asking them the following questions will help you decide whether or not the Family Wealth Transfer Strategy from ivari is right for them. If any of these goals are a priority, then they should consider this strategy.
Provide financially for the future of their children?
Reduce the tax consequences of giving money to their children?
Maintain control of their assets until their children are ready to receive this gift?
Provide an inheritance for their children that is affordable?
Provide a gift for their children while they are still alive?
Unlike traditional insurance solutions that provide benefits upon death of a parent, or grandparent, the FWTS is built around using a universal life (UL) insurance policy on the life of the child to transfer non-registered assets in a tax efficient manner.
We've put together a list of questions commonly asked by clients, along with answers that you can use to respond. These can be found in the Family Wealth Transfer Strategy Advisor Guide.
For clients who are interested in learning more about this Strategy, you can send them the client-friendly version of the Family Wealth Transfer Strategy. This guide details the benefits of the Strategy in plain language that clients can easily understand.
In the LifeView software, the Family Wealth Transfer Strategy illustration is available under the Individual Sales Concepts menu. The Family Wealth Transfer Strategy illustration shows the benefits of universal life specific to the concept and allows comparisons with alternative investment strategies. LifeView also offers a dynamic PowerPoint presentation that is customized for your clients.

Secretly Taped Audio Reveals Democratic Leadership Pressuring Progressive to Leave Race
In a frank and wide-ranging conversation, Steny Hoyer laid down the law for Levi Tillemann. The decision, Tillemann was told, had been made long ago.
Lee Fang
April 26 2018, 10:00 a.m.
Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House of Representatives, has for years been a prolific campaigner on behalf of current and potential members of Congress. It was no surprise, then, that December found him in Colorado, where the party has hopes of knocking off Republican incumbent Mike Coffman.
Before Donald Trump had even been inaugurated, local resistance groups began deluging Coffman's public appearances, pressing him not to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and putting him back on his political heels. Levi Tillemann, an author, inventor, and former official with the Obama administration's Energy Department, moved back home to make a run against Coffman.
He focused his campaign on clean elections, combatting climate change, "Medicare for All," free community college, and confronting economic inequality and monopoly power. Another candidate for the nomination, Jason Crow, a corporate lawyer at the powerhouse Colorado firm Holland & Hart and an Army veteran, meanwhile, appeared to have the backing of the Democratic establishment, though it wasn't explicit. In November, it became clearer, as Crow was named by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to the party's "Red to Blue" list, which the committee specifies is not an endorsement but does carry symbolic weight.
With Hoyer in Denver, Tillemann met the minority whip at the Hilton Denver Downtown to make the case that the party should stay neutral in the primary and that he had a more plausible path to victory than the same centrism that Coffman had already beaten repeatedly.
Hoyer, however, had his own message he wanted to convey: Tillemann should drop out.
In a frank and wide-ranging conversation, Hoyer laid down the law for Tillemann. The decision, Tillemann was told, had been made long ago. It wasn't personal, Hoyer insisted, and there was nothing uniquely unfair being done to Tillemann, he explained: This is how the party does it everywhere.
Tillemann had heard the argument before from D.C. insiders and local Democratic bigwigs, all of whom had discouraged him from challenging the establishment favorite. The only difference was that for this conversation, the candidate had his phone set to record.
The secretly taped audio recording, released here for the first time, reveals how senior Democratic officials have worked to crush competitive primaries and steer political resources, money, and other support to hand-picked candidates in key races across the country, long before the party publicly announces a preference. The invisible assistance boosts the preferred candidate in fundraising and endorsements, and then that fundraising success and those endorsements are used to justify national party support. Meanwhile, opponents of the party's unspoken pick are driven into paranoia, wondering if they are merely imagining that unseen hands are working against them.
Hoyer bluntly told Tillemann that it wasn't his imagination, and that mobilizing support for one Democratic candidate over another in a primary isn't unusual. Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., chair of the DCCC, has a "policy that early on, we'd try to agree on a candidate who we thought could win the general and give the candidate all the help we could give them," Hoyer told Tillemann matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, I'm for Crow," Hoyer explained. "I am for Crow because a judgment was made very early on. I didn't know Crow. I didn't participate in the decision. But a decision was made early on by the Colorado delegation," he said, referencing the three House Democrats elected from Colorado.
"So your position is, a decision was made very early on before voters had a say, and that's fine because the DCCC knows better than the voters of the 6th Congressional District, and we should line up behind that candidate," asked Tillemann during the conversation.
"That's certainly a consequence of our decision," responded Hoyer.
"Staying out of primaries sounds small-D democratic, very intellectual, and very interesting," said Hoyer. "But if you stay out of primaries, and somebody wins in the primary who can't possibly win in the general," the Maryland representative said, citing the surprise victory of Democrat Doug Jones over Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate election, "I'm not saying you're that person." But staying out of primaries, he argued, is "not very smart strategy."
Before agreeing to provide the audio, Tillemann requested that personal details be withheld. The Intercept selected the newsworthy aspects of the recording for publication.

During the conversation, Hoyer asked Tillemann to leave the race multiple times and make way for Crow. "You keep saying I would like you to get out of the race, and of course that's correct," Hoyer said, adding that he hoped Tillemann would refrain from criticizing the party's chosen candidate if he decided to stay in.
The party, notably, has a poor track record in selecting candidates that can win the general election.
In 2006, the last cycle viewed as a wave midterm election for Democrats, the DCCC famously became heavily involved in Democratic primaries. In that election, just as in 2018, the party attempted to pick moderate, business-friendly veterans, while nudging left-leaning candidates out of the election. But some of the party's chosen primary candidates ended up losing, and several candidates viewed as too progressive to win the general in Republican-held districts — such as John Hall, Carol Shea-Porter, and Jerry McNerney — went on to win that election with little to no DCCC support.
The suggestion that Tillemann might end up being a spoiler like Roy Moore, an extremist with a history of soliciting minors, may seem far-fetched.
Tillemann, while studying for his Ph.D., founded an energy efficient engine design company, and in 2012, was appointed by President Barack Obama to advise the Energy Department. Though he has positioned himself as a grassroots populist aligned with local resistance activist groups, if anything he is simultaneously a legacy of the Democratic establishment, as the grandson of the late Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., on his mother's side and the grandson of former Colorado Lt. Gov. Nancy Dick on his father's side. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood of Denver. He also speaks Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese — an asset, he says, for the rapidly diversifying 6th District.
Crow spoke at the 2012 Democratic National Convention to support the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. He previously served on the Colorado Board of Veterans Affairs and advised both the Obama administration and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on veterans issues. Crow's first television advertisement focuses on Coffman's support from the gun lobby, but conservatives have fired back to note that Crow's law firm lobbies against gun control on behalf of gun manufacturers in Colorado.
Crow's work representing corporations accused of misconduct may become a liability in the campaign. Legal filings list Crow's name on lawsuits defending payday lender Western Sky Financial and fracking firm Slawson Exploration.
In races in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Texas, Nebraska, California, and beyond, progressive candidates are finding that the DCCC has mobilized support for moderate candidates with access to early campaign cash at the expense of progressives. As we've reported, many first-time candidates are told by the DCCC that before they can even be considered, they have to perform the "rolodex" test to show they can raise $250,000 or more from the contact list on their phone.
In February, the DCCC made the unusual move to release opposition research, the term of art for political dirt, against activist Laura Moser, who the party viewed as too liberal to win in the 7th Congressional District of Texas, a Houston-area seat. The strategy, however, appeared to backfire. Moser placed second in the Texas Democratic primary, meaning she'll have a shot at the nomination in the May 22 runoff.
Tillemann says the decision to record the conversation came after months of hints that party officials did not want him as the candidate. Though he notified the party of his intention to run, he had trouble gaining an audience with senior DCCC officials, obtaining polling data promised by the DCCC, or even gaining access to resumes of Democratic campaign staff. The party continued to promise neutrality while inviting only Crow to a candidate training seminar, Tillemann alleges.
In February of last year, Tillemann reached out over email to DCCC officials as he explored a bid and maintained contact with party staff through the launch of his campaign; he says he was continually stonewalled as he sought candidate resources. Nearly six months after the initial contact, with Tillemann's internal complaints growing more forceful, the party committee offered some perfunctory assistance in exchange for access to details about campaign financials and organizing. The offer came after a heated exchange between Tillemann and a DCCC official at a campaign event, in which Tillemann argued that the party was more interested in boosting Crow than beating Coffman.
While the DCCC still promised neutrality, publicly disclosed campaign donations confirmed Tillemann's suspicions. In June 2017, a political action committee controlled by Luján, the DCCC chair, donated $1,000 to Crow. That month, PACs controlled by Hoyer also donated two checks for a combined total of $2,000 to Crow.
"We were put in a situation time and time again where what was communicated to us behind closed doors and what was communicated to the public was at odds," says Tillemann of his decision to tape the conversation with Hoyer. "The breach of personal decorum," Tillemann adds, "was much less important than the fundamental principle at stake in our democracy in 2018."
Mariel Saez, a spokesperson for Hoyer, said that "we do not comment on private meetings. Mr. Hoyer supports Crow and donated to him last year, but he hasn't engaged in the race since then." Crow did not respond to a request for comment, and the DCCC declined to comment.

But the dynamics described in the audio tape and by Tillemann resonated with other former candidates in the district.
"The party did not give me the resources that they gave Jason Crow," says David Aarestad, an attorney who had been running for the nomination for the 6th District. Aarestad dropped out of the race in March and endorsed Crow.
"It was the D-trip. I was given extensive promises in March of last year that they would not do anything to favor one candidate over another, that they had learned from the mistakes made during the Bernie-Hillary fallout, and that they would do everything the same for all of the candidates," says Aarestad. "But, they made polling data available to Crow that they did not make available to me. They made other resources available to Crow that they did not make available to me, such as email lists for fundraising purposes."
Gabriel McArthur, another former candidate for the 6th District, says the DCCC never contacted him, even though he was the first candidate to enter the race. He says the party exercises influence not just over candidate selection, but how political money and media coverage operates in the state. McArthur says he had the most detailed policies on his campaign website, but could never gain serious media coverage for his race. While Crow for much of last year had no issues page on his campaign website, McArthur noted that the establishment favorite appeared to easily win endorsement after endorsement from local liberal groups and politicians along with fawning coverage from local media.
"Jason Crow has been hoisted up as the chosen candidate the entire time. The party officers say we need centrists to win against Mike Coffman, that's just the way it is," says McArthur, a former Bernie Sanders delegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Democratic consultants, McArthur says, have told him to focus more on fundraising than publicizing his policy agenda. "The money isn't the real problem — the problem is that the Democrats lack any real agenda," says McArthur.
When the DCCC publicly added Crow to its "Red to Blue" list of front-line candidates in November, the move further embittered local Colorado Democrats who had been assured the party was remaining neutral in the primary. State Party Chair Morgan Carroll, the Democratic nominee in the 6th District in 2016, wrote on Facebook, "The DCCC verbally said they would be neutral and in practice just endorsed one of the candidates in CD6."
The suburban district is being widely watched as one of the most important seats Democrats need to flip to regain the majority. Obama won the district in 2012 by 5 percentage points, and Hillary Clinton won it by 9 percent in 2016. But the incumbent, Coffman, has proved resilient, winning crossover votes by projecting a moderate image. He defeated Democratic challengers in the last two election cycles by a wide margin.
Hoyer has for years been a mainstay of House Democratic leadership, tantalizingly close to the speakership. Soon after being elected to Congress in 1981, he became a protégé of then-Rep. Tony Coelho, D-Calif., a business-friendly lawmaker who had just become chair of the DCCC. Coelho famously transformed the DCCC into the big-money operation it is today, rebuking the Democratic Party's longstanding alliance with labor unions and activists in favor of raising millions of dollars from corporate lobbyists.
Under Coelho, one DCCC brochure assured donors "courteous and direct access to" Democratic lawmakers. The DCCC encouraged candidates to focus on raising cash from corporate PACs and building relationships with business executives as the easiest path to office. Coelho resigned in 1989 following an ethics scandal, but not before giving a boost to Hoyer, his lieutenant who was quickly rising through the ranks of leadership.
Hoyer, exploiting his own role as the caucus point person for K Street, won the election as House Democratic whip in 2002. According to reports in Roll Call and the Washington Post, Hoyer regularly invites corporate lobbyists for weekly lunches with the caucus and helps to headline private donor retreats for the party. During the 2006 midterms, he worked closely with the DCCC to raise prodigious sums of corporate PAC cash for party election efforts, further cementing his role as a power player in the party.
For the 2018 midterm cycle, the party has not only courted moderate Democrats and formed a renewed partnership with the conservative Blue Dog caucus for candidate recruitment, but has discouraged candidates from embracing populist ideas, such as single-payer health care.
For Tillemann, however, the party's closeness with the corporate elite is the very reason why the DCCC continues to lose general elections.
"They squash progressive candidates. They destroy the diversity of ideas in their caucus. They keep ideas like 'Medicare for All,' free community college, or impeaching Donald Trump from having a significant role in the national conversation," says Tillemann. "The issues that resonate most with voters are not the issues that the DCCC is telling candidates to focus on."
Is he worried that even if he is successful in his campaign, that he's already betrayed one of the most powerful Democrats, making him an outsider as soon as he arrives in Washington?
"To a certain extent, people like Elizabeth Warren and people like Bernie Sanders have been ostracized by the party, and they have been marginalized by the establishment to the extent that is possible," says Tillemann. "But the fact of the matter is that the people are crying out for genuine leaders, and the people are crying out for a solution to inequality and systemic injustice, and to the extent that I am fighting for those solutions, then I think there will be a powerful constituency for that."
"I'm proud to be on the side of truth," he added. "I'm proud to be on the right side of democracy, and I'm proud to be on the right side of free and fair elections."

Little Alan's Bill. Keeping drunk drivers away from boats, snowmobiles and ATVs beiginning Aug 1. Photo by Paul Blume / Fox 9.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) - People convicted of driving while intoxicated in Minnesota will lose their driver's license and be stripped of their privilege to operate boats, snowmobiles and ATVs under "Little Alan's Law" which takes effect Aug. 1, 2018.
Before the change in Minnesota's DWI law, people convicted of DWI in a car could legally operate boats, ATVs and snowmobiles. The changes apply to violations that occur on or after Aug. 1. The Minnesota DNR says the change sends the message that drinking and driving – no matter what the vehicle – is unacceptable and carries severe consequences.
DNR Enforcement Division Director Col. Rodmen Smith said the laws will help keep roads, trails and waterways safer.
"People that operate RVs can kill people just as easily as they can in a minivan or a pickup or any other traditional motor vehicle," Smith said.
Mary Beth Lonnee, Alan's grandmother, lived through a nighmare last winter.
"How many people do abusive alcoholics get to kill? How many people do they get to injure?" she asked.
Lonnee described Alan as a loving boy who loved to cuddle.
"My heart aches. I am empty. I cannot imagine the tragic pain my daughter and son-in-law feel on a daily basis," she said. "This bill could've prevented little Alan's death and I know it will save other lives."
Eric Coleman, the suspect in Alan Geisenkoetter's death, is scheduled to go to trial in December on charges of third-degree murder and criminal vehicular homicide.

GSC Continues To Support Awareness For Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
by Budiey Sunday, 1 July, 2018, 9:18 pm 18.7k Views
Earlier this April, in commemoration of World Autism Month, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) embarked on a campaign "Autistic People Are Not Broken" to increase public awareness for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and #BreakTheStigma around the condition.
The campaign, which took place from 2nd to 30th April saw GSC's website, social media pages, and electronic screens throughout the country turned blue for the cause. On-ground cinema staff also wore a blue button badge in support of autism awareness throughout the month. Additionally, GSC also screened a special movie called "The Wayang Kids" during the campaign, where customers who purchased tickets to the film were given a button badge as part of the company's effort to raise awareness for ASD amongst the public.
Distributed by GSC Movies, "The Wayang Kids" tells the story of a group of primary school children overcoming cultural and language barriers to represent their school in an international Chinese opera performance. Leading the team is a student with mild autism who has to convince his classmates, teachers, and parents, and ultimately himself that he deserves a role in the performance.
"Awareness is an important first step towards acceptance for those living with autism. We are honoured to do our part in enlightening Malaysians about this condition, as we seek to break the stigma," said Mr Lionel Loh, Senior Marketing Manager, Golden Screen Cinemas.
Following the end of the campaign, GSC has donated RM10,000 to the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM). The donation, which also comprises proceeds from "The Wayang Kids", was presented to NASOM Chairman, Puan Feilina Feisol in a private ceremony that took place at GSC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

For the first time international clinical trial has been evaluating the effect of intense physical exercise on the body to improve survival of men with advanced prostate cancer is underway.
"Typical patients with metastases often become sedentary. It is thought that this affects cancer progression," he said.
Together with Robert Newton, professor at the Edith Cowan University Exercise Medicine Research Institute in Australia, Dr Saad is leading the first international study which aims to demonstrate that exercise literally extends the life of patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
Normally, patients at this stage have a life expectancy of two to three years.
"We want to reduce mortality by at least 22 percent, which represents about six months of longer survival. This is the equivalent benefit of a new drug. Exercise could therefore supplement available treatments, inexpensively," said Dr Saad.
The study has already started in Ireland and Australia. In the coming weeks, some 60 hospitals across the world will begin recruiting patients. In total, nearly 900 men with advanced prostate cancer will participate.
"We will study exercise as if it were a drug added to standard treatments. All patients will be treated within the latest scientific knowledge for this type of cancer," he explained.
The team has designed a specific strength and cardiovascular training programme for patients in the "exercise" group.They will have an hour of aerobic and resistance training three times a week.
An exercise specialist will supervise them for the first 12 months, and then they will continue without direct supervision. They will be evaluated for quality of life, appetite, and treatment tolerance in relation to their improved physical condition.
Overview of the Phase 3 clinical trial will be presented by Dr Saad at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago from June 3-7.
Many scientists have proved that the power of yoga and exercise is much more than that of medicines. So yes people should definitely be taught the benefits of doing a regular exercise, Since it can cure dangerous diseases such as Cancer etc.
Exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like diabetes, cancer and several heart diseases.


American zero tolerance of student alcohol use collided recently with French joie de vivre. In the Denver area's wealthiest school district, prohibition won.
Last month, as a culmination of study of French culture, 14 seventh- and eighth-grade students went to Paris for a one-week ''immersion'' program. On the last evening, between nibbling on escargot and duck at a three-hour dinner, each student was allowed to sip a ''thimbleful'' of wine.
''They tasted wine,'' said Dan Whitnah, a parental adviser to the students' school, the Challenge School, in the suburban Cherry Creek School District.
Back home, Robert Tschirki, the Cherry Creek Superintendent of Schools, announced that his district's zero tolerance of drugs, alcohol and tobacco extended to the City of Light. The Superintendent banished the school principal who chaperoned the students, Shawn Colleary, to a teaching job in another district school.
On one level, the furor seems one more case of strict application of zero-tolerance rules.
In February, a 10-year-old girl was expelled from her Colorado school for accidentally bringing a paring knife in her lunch box. Embarrassed school officials later reinstated the girl.
Last Christmas in Georgia, a 13-year-old boy was suspended for two weeks for giving his French teacher a gift-wrapped bottle of French wine.
But the controversy here also reflects a growing prohibitionist attitude toward alcohol. Cherry Creek's zero-tolerance policy statement opens by referring to ''the harmful effects of the use of tobacco, alcohol and other dangerous drugs.'' In two paragraphs, five references are made to ''tobacco, alcohol and other drug use.
The statement bans the use of any amount of alcohol on a school-sanctioned activity. In the case of the Paris trip, the only person punished was the head chaperon, on the logic that he should have known the rules.
In Europe, where the drinking age is largely 16, wine is served in some high school cafeterias. Studies show that Luxembourg and France have the world's highest per capita consumption of alcohol, but some of the lowest alcohol-related problems.
''It's not how much you drink, it's how you drink -- drinking slowly, drinking with food, drinking in public,'' Professor Heath said.

TALKERS | February 20, 2013
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment Up 4% in Q4 of 2012; Premiere National Sales Down. The Media and Entertainment division of CC Media Holdings was up 4% in the fourth quarter of 2012 on revenue of $821.5 million. But that figure was helped greatly by the $40 million in political advertising the division realized. Otherwise it would have been down by as much as $9 million. During yesterday's conference call with analysts, CFO Tom Casey also said, "We increased national advertising sales by 17% over last year's fourth quarter, or 3%
excluding political, and local revenues grew 5%. We also saw a nice lift in revenue from digital, with our listening hours up 68% over the fourth quarter of 2011, fueled by increased iHeartRadio usage, which reached 118 million total listening hours in December." But both Premiere Networks and the Total Traffic Network had down fourth quarters and are off to sluggish starts in 2013. The company does not break down specific numbers for these divisions. Casey did say Total Traffic Network is still struggling with the merger of Metro Networks. As for Premiere, he simply said national sales were weak for the division. For the full year of 2012 Casey reported, "Media and Entertainment revenues grew 3% to $3.1 billion. National revenue rose 9%, driven by both our new national advertising efforts and political. Local revenue was up 2% for the year. Our top advertising categories were auto and telecommunications. Political advertising reached $70 million for the year."
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to Remain on WABC, New York – for Now. During yesterday's CC Media Holdings conference call with analysts, chief financial officer Tom Casey did not give specifics when asked about the
much-speculated-upon move of Premiere Networks' Rush Limbaugh from his current and longtime home at Cumulus Media's WABC, New York to Clear Channel's crosstown WOR. But he did say, "No decisions have been made…we're working through our options." Contracts with WABC for both Limbaugh and Sean Hannity run through the end of 2013 and it doesn't appear CC is preparing to exercise the 90-out clause and move the shows to WOR. Still, the option to move them to WOR in January of 2014 after their deals with WABC end must seem like a nice, clean way of doing it – if that is the company's ultimate goal.
Sports Talk in Boston Is "Its Own Breed." That's the sentiment from sports talk personality Mike Salk, who is preparing to return to his native Boston to join Michael Holley for the PM drive shift on Entercom's WEEI in mid-March. He says he can't say enough about the people of Seattle and how much he's enjoyed his time at Bonneville's KIRO-AM co-hosting with Brock Huard. But he also says, "The passion and intensity of Boston sports fans – the frustration when things don't go as they'd like – those things are different in Boston than anywhere else in the country." Salk will fill the void in the afternoon show that opened when
longtime Boston sports personality Glenn Ordway was let go from the station last week. Salk tells TALKERS the fact that Boston is such an intense sports town helps make WEEI "the gold standard for sports radio. It's why people have always talked about it as one of the biggest sports stations, if not the biggest and most important sports station in the country." Salk says the opportunity to work in his hometown at WEEI is one thing, but the goal is to capitalize on it and he's excited about working with Michael Holley. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to talk sports with him every day. Not just talk sports but 'banter.' That's the fun thing about sports radio, it's not always arguing, it's not always angry or fighting; I think of it more as bantering – two guys going back and forth with a smile on their faces. Sometimes it gets heated, sometimes it's just straight fun, but it's banter." Salk is a rabid Boston Bruins fan and he says he's looking forward to getting back to a hockey town. "It's in
my blood. I grew up watching those games." Salk and Huard helped build the midday show at KIRO-AM to the point they hit the #1 mark in men 25-54 last September. He's been a part of the ESPN Radio network since 2007, hosting "SportsCenter Saturday" and serving as a regular fill-in host over the past few years. Prior to going to Seattle in 2009 he worked for ESPN 890 in Boston (WAMG) for four years co-hosting middays with Bob Halloran. Vice president of programming Jason Wolfe says, "Mike Salk has a proven record of success, and I couldn't be more excited to bring him back home to Boston. He's a very skilled broadcaster, a fun personality and a passionate sports fan. I'm really looking forward to the new dynamic that he and Michael Holley will provide on a daily basis."
Emmis Adds FM Translator to Sports WFNI, Indianapolis Brand. The translator W298BB at 107.5 FM is simulcasting part of sister WFNI-AM's programming but is carrying ESPN Radio's midday programming of Colin Cowherd and SVP & Russillo from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. In a statement, Emmis Indianapolis SVP and market manager Charlie Morgan says, "The launch of 'FM 107.5 The Fan' demonstrates Emmis' deep commitment to making 'The Fan' Indy's dominant sports brand. Given that Emmis is credited with creating the first sports talk station in the United States, it only seems fitting that we would deliver the city's first FM sports station to Indy's sports-loving fans."
Illinois Attorney and Radio Host Found Liable in Missing Money Case. Illinois attorney Kathleen Niew, her husband and her law firm were found partially liable in DuPage County Court for the some $2.3 million that a local couple claims Niew misappropriated. Niew hosts a brokered financial advice program on Salem Communications' WIND, Chicago. The couple, Jamal and Leda Khoury, deposited the money in an account controlled by Niew. According to the Chicago Tribune, her former attorney stated in court filings that the Niews are victims of the same crime as a third party is responsible for the missing money.
Odds & Sods. Hubbard Broadcasting's WTOP, Washington reports a big January in the Arbitron PPMs. Vice president of news and programming Jim Farley says the station went up dramatically from January a year ago in the 25-54 demo. He also says, "WTOP is # 1 25-54 full week and both drives, #2 nights and #3 middays and weekends. Note the incredible 11.4 share in persons 25-54 in morning drive and the even more eye-popping 14.4 women 25-54. Full week we're also # 1 with women 25-54 and I give the credit on that to WTOP PD Laurie Cantillo."…..In another note from WTOP, the station announces it is adding Wall Street Journal Network news anchor Joan Jones to its roster of news anchors. Jones has been a network business anchor for Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal Radio Network since 2008, writing and anchoring network broadcasts and customized business updates for major market stations. Prior to joining WSJ, Jones was the morning news anchor at WPHT in Philadelphia and the morning co-host of "Chris and JJ" on Philly's B101. She states, "What an honor to join this legacy radio station and to work alongside the best in the business."…..WFLA, Tampa-based news anchor Martin Giles is retiring from Clear Channel on March 1. In a report from the Tampa Bay Times, the 76-year-old Giles says he's leaving the place he's been for 28 years due to the workload where the company requires them to do news for Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and other markets as well. "It's an overload of work they were handing us. I've had a little trouble with it…I am really worn out when I go home on Friday."…..The Heritage Foundation-produced "Istook Live!" talk show – hosted by former Oklahoma Congressman Ernest Istook – adds C.J. Wheeler as co-host and executive producer. In the additional role of executive producer, Wheeler will oversee the show's content across radio, digital and TV platforms.
Sequestration/Deficit Reduction, Gun Control Issue, Immigration Reform, Soaring Gas Prices, and Oscar Pistorius Case Among Top News/Talk Stories Yesterday (2/19). The Washington battle over who's responsible for the looming sequestration; the ongoing dialog over new gun control measures; the Obama Administration's policy on immigration reform; the fast-rising prices at the pump; and the murder case of Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius were some of the most-talked-about stories on news/talk radio yesterday, according to ongoing research from TALKERS.

CStone announces the clinical data from registrational study of Sugemalimab in stage III non-small cell lung cancer published in The Lancet Oncology
SUZHOU, China, Jan. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — CStone Pharmaceuticals ("CStone", HKEX: 2616), a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on research, development, and commercialization of innovative immuno-oncology therapies and precision medicines, today announced that the registrational clinical data from sugemalimab (the GEMSTONE-301 study) in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were published in the world-leading clinical oncology journal, The Lancet Oncology. Sugemalimab as a consolidation therapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC without disease progression after concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy. After being selected as a late-breaking abstract (LBA) at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2021, this study has been honored on the international academic stage, fully demonstrating its great academic value and clinical potential. The leading principal investigator of GEMSTONE-301 is Professor Yi-Long Wu from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. This randomized, double-blind phase 3 trial was done in 50 hospitals and research centers in China. With an innovative study design, this study enrolled patients with either concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy to better reflect real-world clinical practice and covered a broad NSCLC patient population.
The GEMSTONE-301 study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sugemalimab as consolidation therapy in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC without disease progression after concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy.
GEMSTONE-301 study met its primary endpoint at a pre-planned interim analysis. The findings showed that sugemalimab demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). The BICR-assessed median PFS was 9.0 months vs 5.8 months, stratified HR=0.64 (95% CI:0.48, 0.85), p-value=0.0026. Consistent PFS benefit favoring sugemalimab was observed in patients who received either concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy prior to randomization. The median PFS was 10.5 months vs. 6.4 months in the concurrent radiotherapy group, HR=0.66 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.99), and 8.1 months vs. 4.1 months in the sequential radiotherapy group, HR=0.59 (95% CI: 0.39, 0.91). Sugemalimab had a well-tolerated safety profile with no new safety signals observed.
Professor Yi-Long Wu, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, the corresponding author and leading principal investigator on the GEMSTONE-301 study, said, "The publication of the results from the GEMSTONE-301 study in The Lancet Oncology demonstrates the international medical community has fully affirmed the study's forward-looking design, research quality and clinical value. It also showcases Chinese researchers have taken a broad scientific perspective to explore and conduct high-quality innovative research that fits in with the real clinical needs in China."
Dr. Jason Yang, Chief Medical Officer of CStone, said, "The Lancet Oncology is an international trusted source that is devoted to publishing high-quality research papers to help advance practice in clinical oncology and potentially reshape the landscape of cancer control and prevention. The publication of data from the GEMSTONE-301 study in The Lancet Oncology is powerful proof of CStone's clinical development capabilities and research quality. It also highlights the outstanding clinical value of sugemalimab. The new drug application (NDA) of sugemalimab in patients with stage III NSCLC is under review by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China, and we expect it to benefit more Chinese patients."
The NMPA of China has approved the NDA of sugemalimab (Cejemly®) in combination with chemotherapy for treatment-naïve metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC patients. Based on the positive data in patients with locally advanced (stage III) and metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC, sugemalimab has the potential to become the world's first anti-PD(L)1 monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of all-comer patients from both stage III and stage IV NSCLC.
Currently, the NMPA of China has approved sugemalimab (Cejemly®) in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations; and in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC. Sugemalimab is being investigated in a number of ongoing clinical trials, including one Phase 2 registration study for lymphoma and four Phase 3 registrational studies in stage III NSCLC, stage IV NSCLC, gastric cancer, and esophageal cancer, respectively.
In May 2021, the GEMSTONE-301 study met its primary endpoint at a pre-planned interim analysis reviewed by the iDMC. The findings showed that sugemalimab brought statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the BICR assessed PFS. Investigator-assessed PFS showed consistent results as those of the primary endpoint. Sugemalimab was well-tolerated with no new safety signals. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that sugemalimab was associated with clinical benefit regardless of whether patients received concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy prior to sugemalimab. The data were reported in the late-breaking abstract (LBA) presentation at the 2021 ESMO Annual Meeting.
The GEMSTONE-302 study (clinicaltrials.gov registration number: NCT03789604; drug clinical trial registration number: CTR20181452) is a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 study, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody sugemalimab combined with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment in treatment- naïve patients with stage IV NSCLC vs. placebo combined with chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of the study was investigator-assessed PFS. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, BICR-assessed PFS and safety.
In August 2020, the GEMSTONE-302 study met its primary endpoint of significantly prolonging PFS and reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 50% with sugemalimab combined with chemotherapy compared to placebo combined with chemotherapy, as assessed by iDMC at the planned interim analysis. Specific study data were presented in a Proffered Paper Oral Presentation (Late-Breaking Abstract) at the ESMO Asia 2020.
In July 2021, the final analysis of PFS from the GEMSTONE-302 study showed that sugemalimab in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated continued improvement in PFS and the risk of disease progression or death was reduced by 52%, together with a trend of overall survival benefits. The two-year survival rate was 47.1%. Data were presented as a Mini Oral Presentation (Late-Breaking Abstract) at the IASLC 2021 World Conference on Lung Cancer.

Andrew Robertson, NHSGGC Chairman, has today (Monday,30 November) retired following more than 20 consecutive years of service to the NHS in the Greater Glasgow area.
After eight years as Chair of the largest health authority in the UK, Andrew has steered NHSGGC through a period of significant change and reform.
Paying tribute to his major contribution to the NHS, Robert Calderwood, NHSGGC Chief Executive, said: "Andrew has made a significant contribution to not only the work of the board, but to public life within the city and beyond over the last 22 years.
"Over the last eight years as the chair of the board Andrew's inclusive style has ensured board members have been able to debate and contribute on all major policy issues.
Andrew said: "During my term as Chair it has been a privilege to lead the board through such a time of modernisation and service redesign. A particular highlight for me has been to see the culmination of the Acute Services Review that was adopted back in 2002 and which set out the blueprint for some of the most far-reaching changes in the delivery of acute services in Scotland.
"To have been able to witness the construction and commissioning of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has really been something special for me.
Andrew cites another highlight during his time as chair as launching NHSGGC's first board-wide staff awards scheme. These awards became known as the Chairman's awards and are now held in high esteem by staff throughout the organisation.
Andrew is succeeded as Chairman by John Brown who takes up post on 1st December 2015 for four years until 30th November 2019.
Mr Brown joined NHSGGC as a Board member a year ago and is now going to lead the health board through a period of major health and social care development and ongoing acute services and psychiatric services modernisation programmes.
He has extensive experience of leading large, customer facing organisations through transformational change and since June 2014 he has been employed as interim Company Secretary of the Student Loans Company.

The Tinder Swindler: Damocles' sword, in the guise of a dating app, hangs over your head
By Shanty Henry
How enthusiastic are you to see a film adaptation of a true story? Today, I'm ecstatic to talk about "The Tinder Swindler," a beautifully depicted true-crime documentary film. Do you want to know how the documentary turned out?
Tinder, a dating app, is one of the evils of technology. Are you a member of it? You can be sure that if you're addicted to a dating app, there's something intriguing lurking beneath the surface that you've overlooked, and you'll have to pay a high price for it.
It's hard to believe Tinder Swindler is a documentary film constructed in such a way that it appears to be a film. It's as near to the truth as fiction can get. Don't do what I did after seeing the documentary and try to find the actors on Google. They are the victims of the Tinder Swindler, the true victims…
An almost 2-hour documentary directed by Felicity Morris relates the experiences of a swindler who pretended to be Simon Leviev, son of Israeli Russian diamond mogul Lev Leviev and robbed them of their hearts and wallets.
If you are a person who loves to watch real stories rather than fiction, then Tinder Swindler is a very good choice for you. And this can also be a good movie to watch for girls who are fans of dating apps. There are more things the documentary wants to convey to you people.
Now let's download the dating crime documentary film Tinder Swindler to know the dirty business of a crooked man.. Installing.. Shhh…
The Tinder Swindler: Plot Overview
It's up to you to swipe right or swipe left to choose your date. The crime documentary film is about a swindler who deceived and exploited women he met on a dating app. The Tinder Swindler is based on the true incident of Shimon Hayut, an Israeli conman who used Tinder to masquerade as the son of Israeli diamond billionaire Lev Leviev. He lavishes his girlfriends with gifts before emotionally enslaving them and stealing their money.
Hayut, posing as Simon Leviev, would first spend lavish amounts on the woman, staying in five-star hotels and flying in private jets. He makes the young ladies believe that they are living their dream. He provides such luxurious comfort, but what is the hidden agenda behind this? Where do these billions of money come from? Does he come from a rich family? Who does he loot all this money from? The tinder Swindler has all the answers stored right now on Netflix.

Felicity Morris
The filmmaker of The Tinder Swindler has done an excellent job of delving deeply into the lives of the victims. The documentary, like a movie, is full of surprising twists and turns. Felicity Morris approaches her work from the perspective of the victims. She doesn't want to be the one to blame for the woman's love for a male. This documentary is a powerful work of art that will undoubtedly benefit the director. Let us all wish her well in gaining more feathers in her cap.

The Tinder Swindler: Review
Tinder Swindler was a very well-crafted piece that had me thinking it was a documentary because it flowed like a movie's rhythm. To fool myself into believing that the actual crime was filmed with actors. And you think I merely looked up the actor's name on the internet? I was aback to discover that these were not actors, but rather victims. A well-written and directed documentary about the art of crime. Following its release on Netflix, the film received a lot of positive feedback from both the general public and the leaders of dating apps. Simon Leviev's Tinder account was deleted, but he is still active on the dating service and involved in the same drama. Is it possible that a crooked criminal, even after being sentenced to prison, may get away with it?
Can he still commit the same crime after being imprisoned in Finland? Is it true? Discover the identity of Simon Leviev.

Simon Levieve or Shimon Hayut
Assuming different identities seems to be an easy job for Shimon Hayut. When he is in danger, like a chameleon, he uses his identity to change. From Shimon to Simon, and from Simon to David, similarly, it goes on his crime journey. Currently, he is living as a free man after being released from jail. He is still active on Instagram, dressed in designer clothing and posing in posh surroundings. He was waiting for the next girl to jump into his trap.

Open to the true crime
The Tinder Swindler is a true crime story; it happened and the victims are still there struggling with the aftermath. He used to send the same messages and images to his girlfriends to make them believe that he was being targeted by enemies, and the only helping hand he had was you. Who? His girlfriend, the poor girl who, despite the drama, tries to help him, later falls into debts that she is unable to repay.

Social media v/s social media
In this crime documentary, Tinder Swindler, both positive and negative aspects of social media are depicted. He sends accurate copies of all messages to his girlfriends. Everyone got the same texts, photos, videos, and voice messages, and the girls utilized this as an opportunity to catch him off guard. The true villain is social media, which disguised itself as a dating app to trap people. On the other hand, social media was assisting the girls in their fight against Simon Leviev and assisting them in handcuffing him. Do you want to experience true drama? Right now, on Netflix, you can watch "Tinder Swindler."

Super real heroines, are they?
They are still the victims of the conman who took away the money and put them in the darkness of debt. The debt, which they are unable to repay, has prompted them to turn to social media for assistance in raising funds. But there is a mixed response to that case. The people are blaming the ladies for taking such a huge risk to help a person whom they don't know personally. Only the photos of luxury life impressed them, so they were mesmerized by the lifestyle of Simon Leviev. They blindly trusted him for every word he said. There was no question of doubt arising unless and until their debt-money didn't come back. At that point, they doubted that the blank check and the branded wristwatch were all a damn trick of Simon…
Trap of Shimon
Cecilie Fjellhoy, Pernilla Sjoholm, and Ayleen Charlotte are the superheroines who came forward and acted wisely to trap Shimon Hayut. They should be applauded for coming forward without hiding the truth to inform others that this type of fraud is occurring and that they should be aware of it. They are not able to clear the debts Simon caused for them, but they don't want another victim to be in the same situation.
One of the heroines who got some intelligence is Ms. Ayleen Charlotte. When she suddenly realized that she was also a victim, she planned the same drama as Hayut does. She managed to collect all of his designer valuables and convince him that she would sell them and give him money; in any case, she was a woman outside the box who only got some money back because of her intelligence and timely decision-making. I appreciate her being direct in keeping my attention.
Are they real heroines? They are, but still, have to set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to compensate for their debts. The Tinder Swindler is a dangerous guy. Beware of him, girls.

Like a spider, Hayut has woven the web
He lavishes thousands of dollars on each girlfriend, all of which is paid for with money he swindled from the prior one. He understands how to catch his prey. Is he under the impression that every girl is the same? He is the type of man who spins such a web that the prey has trouble finding a way out. If you're stuck, you're still trapped, that's how his love game works. If you're on a date, you should watch Tinder Swindler to ensure a safe journey for your date; it will help you to avoid risk zones in some way.

What happenened to Hayut?
Shimon was sentenced to 15 months in prison but has since been freed to help with the covid outbreak. He is now a free guy who is active on social media, has a new girlfriend, and travels in a private jet, living the high life. And that begs the question: where does he get his money? The Tinder Swindler continues to live his life as if all of his crimes were nothing more than rumors and lies.

Would the documentary become a movie?
Netflix has a 101 percent possibility of making a film as a result of the huge response. There are more stories to be discovered by delving deeper into Shimon Hayut's life. People are eager to learn more about Shimon Hayut. When you look deeper, you can find a real villain or the swindler's true colors. Are you prepared to wait for Tinder Swindler's next deadly love trap adventure? Your feedback will help the creators create even another marvel…
Let us hope that Swindler Hayut's life will take more twists and turns in the near future…
Take pleasure in the criminal documentary film. It will keep you entrapped the entire time.

I feel like posting the sprite sheet I made for my AIM alias, LethargyMan.
Here is a sprite I've been making, I'll make a full sheet soon. Right now I just need someone to make the background transparent, I havent figured out how to do that in Elements.
After many frustrations with custom-sprite attempts, I decided to just say "to hell with it" and go with this.
Didn't stop me from putting my full effort into it, though.
Now to make the sheets for the remainder of my characters, and then I can go back into comic-making! Go me!
[EDIT]: And now there's the sprite sheet for my dark side.

Arcada Theatre
Arcada Building carries
$1 million price tag
By GG WEBER Assistant Business editor
ST. CHARLES — A St. Charles landmark will soon be in the hands of a new owner.
The Arcada Building, constructed in 1926 at 105 E. Main St., is for sale. Bobbie King, managing broker of The Prudential Preferred Properties in St. Charles, listed the building on Aug. 28.
"We have some people (who) have expressed serious interest in it," King said.
The 26,320-square-foot building — owned by Ruby Frank, founder of Frank's Employment, and two partners — is highly marketable, King said. "It is in excellent condition. It has been superbly maintained, and it is fully rented."
The asking price for the stricture  is $1 million, and the potential buyer probably will be a group of investors, King said, but an individual buyer could just as easily step forward. "We would market it to either."
Other than a change in ownership, she expects business to continue as usual in the building. "Anything is possible with a new owner, but most investors want to keep a building rented," she said.
"We're not planning on going anywhere," said Craig Frank of Frank's Employment, which Ruby Frank founded 36 years ago, and which has been in the Arcada building for 17 years. "We have a long-term lease, and we expect to stay," he added.
Other tenants in the building include: Associates in Psychotherapy; Byers & Murphy Arts Management; Illinois Chamber Symphony Orchestra; Design Direct Inc.; St. Charles Art & Music Festival; David L. Ford Insurance; Flexible Financial
Marketing Inc.; Gregory Claricoates, attorney; Nicole's Bridal Boutique; Spectrum Glass Products; Plitt Theater; The Scotland Yard; and Universal Sports Inc.
Ruby Frank, who became managing partner of the building in 1980, said the owners, in their autumn years, are adjusting their priorities. "They just thought they'd like to get their money," she said.
The owners are in the process of adapting the building to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires public buildings- to be accessible to disabled people. They began this process before they decided to sell, Frank said. "We had an expert come in and tell us what we needed to do to comply," she said.
In addition to the women's and men's bathrooms in the theater, they are installing a unisex bathroom designed to be accesible to disabled people. Prior to the ADA, they removed a few seats in the theater to allow space for show-goers in wheelchairs, Frank said.
The three-story building also has provisions for an elevator shaft. The businesses currently use an intercom system to inform second- and third-floor firms when their services are needed on the ground floor, Craig Frank said.
"We've been trying to accommodate the handicapped for some time now," he added.
The front door is wide enough that. no major changes are needed there, and the west-side entrance is ground-level, so no ramp is needed, he said.
"It's a lot of little things," which could amount to "a goodly amount of money," Ruby Frank said.
Having the building disabled-accessible may help sell it. "Any new purchaser would take that into consideration," King said.
"It's a well-built, quality building, and it's a landmark in St. Charles," she added.
"It used to be the cultural center of the town," said Cathe Squires, executive director of the Illinois Chamber Symphony Orchestra, which has had its office in the Arcada building for 10 years.
"It was a big vaudeville center in the '20s and '30s," she explained. "We (orchestra members) have a dream of performing in the theater here. ... It's 'a beautiful theater." However, the movie theater has first dibs on prime show times.
Squires hopes the change in ownership won't affect the office's ability to stay put. "We certainly don't want to move. We just love the building and the location," she said. "We hope that whoever buys the building is culturally minded and allows us all to stay."	•
King considers the building a hot commodity in downtown St. Charles. "It's an exciting building. It's one I think the city of St. Charles is proud to have on

Q: How to set timeout on InputStreamReader? So I have this currently to do a HTTP request in Java:
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) apiURL.openConnection();

connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
writer.write(payload);
writer.close();

JSONObject json = (JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
connection.disconnect();

I've seen lots of mention of sockets, but I'm not sure how it applies here. How would I set a timeout on this HTTP request to say 1 second?

A: You can set timeout on HTTP connection like:-
 connection.setConnectTimeout(5000); // 5 seconds connectTimeout
 connection.setReadTimeout(5000 ); // 5 seconds socketTimeout
