WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Friday to serve four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The judge allowed Bannon to stay free pending appeal and also imposed a fine of $6,500 as part of the sentence. Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols handed down the sentence after saying the law was clear that contempt of Congress is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least one month behind bars. Bannon's lawyers had argued the judge could've sentenced him to probation instead. Prosecutors had asked for Bannon to be sent to jail for six months.
The House panel had sought Bannon's testimony over his involvement in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Bannon has yet to testify or provide any documents to the committee, prosecutors wrote.
Prosecutors argued Bannon, 68, deserved the longer sentence because he had pursued a "bad faith strategy" and his public statements disparaging the committee itself made it clear he wanted to undermine their effort to get to the bottom of the violent attack and keep anything like it from happening again.
"He chose to hide behind fabricated claims of executive privilege and advice of counsel to thumb his nose at Congress," said prosecutor J.P. Cooney.
"Your honor, the defendant is not above the law and that is exactly what makes this case important," Cooney said. "It must be made clear to the public, to the citizens, that no one is above the law."
The defense, meanwhile, said he wasn't acting in bad faith, but trying to avoid running afoul of executive privilege objections Trump had raised when Bannon was first served with a committee subpoena last year. The onetime presidential adviser said he wanted to a Trump lawyer in the room, but the committee wouldn't allow it.
Many other former White House aides have testified with only their own counsel. Bannon had been fired from the White House in 2017 and was a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president before the riot.
Before the judge handed down the sentence, Bannon's lawyer, David Schoen, gave an impassioned argument railing against the committee and saying Bannon had simply done was his lawyer told him to do under Trump's executive privilege objections.
"Quite frankly, Mr. Bannon should make no apology. No American should make any apology for the manner in which Mr. Bannon proceeded in this case," he said.
Schoen also defended Bannon's public remarks about the committee: "Telling the truth about this committee or speaking one's mind about this committee, it's not only acceptable in this country, it's an obligation if one believes it to be true," Schoen said.
As he walked into court on Friday, Bannon told reporters, "This illegitimate regime, their judgment day is on 8 November when the Biden administration ends." Bannon did not speak during the hearing, saying only, "My lawyers have spoken for me, your honor."
Bannon has also argued that he had offered to testify after Trump waived executive privilege. But that was after the contempt charges were filed, and prosecutors say he would only agree to give the deposition if the case was dropped.
Prosecutors had pushed for the maximum fine, saying Bannon refused to answer routine questions about his income and insisted he could pay whatever the judge imposed.
Bannon is also facing separate money laundering, fraud and conspiracy charges in New York related to the "We Build the Wall" campaign. Bannon has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors say Bannon falsely promised donors that all money would go to constructing a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, but instead was involved with transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to third-party entities and using them to funnel payments to two other people involved in the scheme.

When should your children start snowboarding?
It's long been believed that children shouldn't learn to snowboard until they're at least eight years old.
As to why such a specific age limit was adhered to is really an old wives' tale. Some believed it was because of children's bone and muscle structure. Others thought it was because the runs and snow parks were populated by teenagers and young adults and no place for children.
Nevertheless, this view is beginning to change. Advances in technology are transforming the image, and safety, of the sport. With well known snowboarding brands ploughing money into research and development with the kids market specifically in mind.
Burton has championed the snowboarding movement for young children with their 'if you can stand you can ride' ethos. In addition, they have developed a board that is much more flexible as well as softer boots with velcro straps and nifty ideas like tow ropes all designed to ease children into snowsports.
The number of younger children wanting to take up snowboarding has also been supported and encouraged by ski schools teaching under fives. A child sees a peer on a 'cool' board with new moves and new tricks and soon you'll hear 'mummy can I have a go on one of those?' A good ski school like Club Piou Piou in Morzine will have instructors that will be more than happy to oblige.
The change in attitude can also be attributed to time. The snowboarding trend-setters of the 70s and 80s have grown up and now have children of their own. Their passion has been passed down a generation, and now we're seeing a new wave of young snowboarders.
So how do you get your kids to pick up the boarding bug so to speak? Most importantly, they must want to learn to snowboard. Enjoying the activity, much like adult newbies, is really important.
Safety is also really important, again the same rules would apply to new skiers. Young, enthusiastic and hardy children may think that throwing themselves into the parks and learning the hard way is the only way. But no-one ever starts doing tricks on their board straight away, it takes a bit of time, much like other snow activities. If they are unsure which activity to take up, and if it is safe to, pop them on your board in between your binding so they can get a feel for the movement - there are plenty of starter slopes in Morzine to give this a go. Little tasters may well get them hooked, just like you are!
If one of your children isn't excited by snowboarding, there are still plenty of other child-friendly activities in Morzine including tobogganing, ice rinks and playgrounds to keep them occupied. Morzine has even been awarded the "Family +" certificate as recognition of Morzine's commitment to providing an exceptional family experience.
You can find out more about children's activities in Morzine here.
A final area to consider is whether or not you want to change your insurance cover if your children are learning to snowboard. If they are going to attempt any tricks or jumps whilst on holiday it's important to make sure that they will be covered. Talk directly to your insurance provider before you buy a policy to ensure you have the most comprehensive cover.

Habitats for Heroics
The Impact of Super-Humans on Society
A Blended Universe » The Impact of Super-Humans on Society
Pardon the dust. This site is still under construction.
For the most part, the world at large doesn't much differentiate between mutants, metas, or any other superiorly gifted human being. All the public really knows is that these folks can do things they can't. Weird things. Bizarre things. Down-right frightening things.
But, those in the know are well aware of the subtle differences. Mutants and metas, while both are the result of altered genetic structures, are triggered by different combinations of genes. True, they are more-or-less separate sub-branches of the same trunk, but there is still overlap there. After all, there are only so many ways the human genome can be manipulated and still be both viable and, frankly, human. Stray too far from the base trunk, and DNA ceases to be compatible, after all1.
And, there are other off-shoots as well, such as the Atlanteans. Most surface-worlders know less about the water-dwellers than they do about the mutants and metas in their midst, however. And even scientists are stymied in their research of those proud people, given how (understandably) xenophobic and protectionist they've been.
Beyond that, however, there are scientific marvels like clones and aliens. Aliens? Yes. The general public scoffs at such things. Even those super-humans who openly call themselves such are met with a certain skepticism. After all, why look to the stars for alien life when life here provides enough oddities of its own? And clones? Most people consider that still in the realm of science fiction — unless you're talking about sheep. Again, though, high-level scientists know differently. And they know that, sometimes, there are meta and mutant genes or alien physiology all tied up in that, too.
This doesn't begin to cover other gifted human beings, either — men like Tony Stark, publicly acknowledged as Iron Man, who brings a high-level of unconventional inventiveness to the table, or like Batman, whose real identity is unknown, but who is widely acknowledged to possess little in the way of "super-human" abilities but much in the way of exceedingly-well-trained abilities… so well-trained, in fact, that it takes a super-human to out do him. And, even then, it's a gamble. What is the average citizen to do against all of these remarkable forces? What can the government, or anyone else, do against them?
The United States political climate suffers from uncertainty as it grapples with difficult fundamental issues regarding Superheroes, the Mutant Race, and the protection of its citizens from domestic and international threats. American politics are dominated by two parties: The Progressive Party and the Tomorrow Party, who both have a stronghold in the major institutions of the government. Though more moderate than major political parties of the world, the two never hesitate to bicker, leading to deadlock and frustration both in the bureaucracy and in the public.
Economically, while the United States is still an economic juggernaut, the dollar pales in comparison with other major financial currencies such as the Euro and the Pound. Moreover, the large American governmental debt is owed to bankers from all over the world. This leaves the United States in a precarious position as an economic powerhouse rife with concerns for the future.
The United States has a schizophrenic relationship with its superheroes. Large swaths of the country support heroes as an answer to an increasingly violent and nasty world. Others are mistrustful, calling on the government to either rein the heroes in, try them in a court of law, or at the very least document them and force them to register.
The mutant gene, which has become more prevalent over the years, is another source of ambivalence in the United States. Like many civil rights cases before it, mutants have supporters who believe they should be accepted as members of society, and detractors who would prefer that they be watched. In many parts of America, mutants are still seen as second class citizens and treated poorly depending on the region.
Local Climate
The political climate varies depending on which region and city you are in. Generally speaking, the northeast tends to consider themselves progressive on social issues and have heavier tax burdens, while the American south is more conservative. City to city things can be very different, depending on the inner workings of the politics therein, and the makeup of the mood of the electorate.
Gotham is known, generally, to be a cesspool of politics and the land the American Dream became after a night of heavy drinking and nicotine patches. The economy is in shambles, with widespread unemployment and fiscal insolvency. Financial projections look week, and Gotham suffers from the worst crime rates in the nation.
The Big Apricot is often pointed towards as the gem of American democracy, capitalism, and industry. Politicians from both sides of the aisle seem to have a better working relationship here. Metropolis is a major center for technology firms, the aerospace industry, as well as imports and exports throughout the world. It's crime rate is relatively low, aside from some of the major villains who tend to show up now and again.
New York seems to be the best and worst of both worlds. For every gleaming skyscraper there's a dark alleyway just waiting to swallow an unsuspecting bystander. For every White Knight there's another corrupt politician looking to get rich by selling influence. This duality seems to permeate every facet of society from the balance of law and order versus the criminal underworld to the neon of Times Square and the underbelly of Hell's Kitchen.
International Climate
The climate of the international community depends very much on where you are at the time. Certain places such as western Europe and North America enjoy a relatively stable existence, while other nations seem wrought with war, pestilence, and famine. Dictatorships and democracies vie for power and squabble over borders, money, and influence. Some nations are very hospitable to the mutant kind, while nations keep theirs as second class citizens. The worst nations have plans, public and private, to rid them of mutants altogether.
This article is currently in draft form and unfinished. Sorry. I'm just running out steam, tonight, folks.
Next section of the article will deal with the types of orgs that are out there. Some want to capture and study mutants and metas, perhaps, even, to "cure" them. Others, actually try to support them… after a fashion.
Pi provided the following write-up, specifically tailored to mutants and metas. (Thanks, Pi!) I'm leaving it here for reference, while I adapt it and use it as a spring board to introduce NPC orgs out to make lives miserable for heroes — or to actually try to help the heroes, instead. Generally, because the public don't differentiate between mutants and metas, and since most non-mutant heroes are actually metas, that kinda covers pretty much anyone who's not a clearly technological or purely skills-based hero. This means mutants aren't the lowest of the low. They're just part of the overall whole — which doesn't mean they aren't subject to prejudice. It just means people use the terms mutant and meta interchangeably. And that the pejorative "mutie" might just as well be applied to a disliked meta as to a bonafide mutant.
At the end of the day, the world is more tolerant of self-made heroes, "lab-created" heroes like super-soldiers, or cybernetically enhanced heroes than they are of people they believe to be "genetic freaks". That said, the attitudes even mutants encounter depends more on which city or community they're in and the experiences of those people with super-humans than anything else. As the saying goes, "Haters gonna hate." But, not everyone's a hater.
So use the generally attitude of the cities described on A Blended Universe as a basic guide, for now, and remember: If you want the public to hate your mutant, they will. Just 'cause that's how you play it.
Pi's Guide to Mutants:
Mutants and Metas have been around for quite some time. Thousands of years. As long as homo sapiens have been around, there has been some off-shoot. In the early writings, the first scribbles of humanity on the origin of the world, one can almost glean the existence of those extraordinary people. Angels. Devils. Those with inordinately long lives that do amazing things — miracles, if you will.
Today, mutants and metas are largely recognized for what they are. There aren't many, given the billions of people on the planet, but there are enough that they are //known. Everyone has an opinion even if not everyone has even ever knowingly met one.//
By some groups, they are hated. Vilified. Objectified until they are nothing but things. And once they are 'things', they can be easily destroyed because they're not really 'like us' now, are they? Or experimented on. Or 'cured'. Or locked away for 'their own good'. It's a tactic used throughout the course of history that allows one to apply salve upon the raw emotions. Whole groups of minorities have suffered through it all through history.
By other groups, they're the next step in human evolution and deserve support. They need to be studied, certainly, but in an 'advancement for all' rather than as a 'way to keep them down'. Why, they could have the cure for cancer buried in their genes, or any dread disease! Perhaps they hold the key to longevity. How did the quirk of their genetics trigger such a remarkable change? Can it be repeated?
As a result of such a climate under which they live, there are numerous organizations that have risen in order to support the mutant. Some seek to elevate the status of mutant to superior of that of humans, others simply seek equality, and some act as the buffer between human and mutant-kind, seeking to make sure neither side oversteps their bounds in regards to the other.

Active Organizations of Earth 626
1. In fact, one of the biggest arguments supporting the continued classification of mutants and metas as part of the human race is the fact humans, mutants, and metas interbreed without difficulty — much like different breeds of canines. Woof!

Another thing, if I try to start an HelloWorld example without google maps activity, it does work.

For this one:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'

to depend only on the maps component instead of depending on the whole Play Services library.

Pulse nightclub massacre anniversary elicits somber memorials
Jun 12, 2019 at 11:48 AM Jun 12, 2019 at 7:20 PM
ORLANDO — Three years after a gunman massacred 49 people and wounded many others at a gay nightclub in central Florida, the anniversary was being observed Wednesday with somber memorial gatherings and proclamations, including one that had to be issued twice.
[READ MORE: Family and friends remember Pulse victim Luis Vielma on Deltona soccer fields]
Earlier Wednesday, at 2:02 a.m., dozens of people gathered outside the Pulse nightclub to honor the victims. The time was the moment the first shot rang out on June 12, 2016.
Survivors said the pain of the attack lingers.
"Many of the friends and family are here reporting to the loved ones we've lost and for the survivors too, many of them are still going through surgery, unfortunately," Pulse survivor Orlando Torres said.
The tragedy pulled in people with Volusia County ties. One of the victims, Luis Vielma of Sanford, was well known in Deltona, where he played in an adult soccer league.
Neema Bahrami, a Daytona Beach native, was the Pulse entertainment manager and was near the front door when the shooting started. He has lived to share his story as a motivational speaker.
In a proclamation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered state flags to be lowered to half staff and asked Floridians to pause to remember the victims of the 2016 shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. But he initially made no mention of the gay or Hispanic communities in the proclamation honoring the 49 club-goers who were killed on Latin night in the deadliest attack on gay people in the U.S.
Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani of Orange County criticized the Republican governor for the omission, calling the proclamation, "straight-washed."
DeSantis later tweeted that the state mourns the loss of life from the attack that "targeted the LGBTQ and Hispanic community, and Florida as a whole."
Several hours later, his office issued a "corrected version" of the proclamation that said Florida wouldn't tolerate hate toward the LGBTQ and Hispanic communities.
"Staff made an error in the previous version. The governor has directed that the proclamation be re-issued, including a direct reference to our LGBTQ and Hispanic communities," said Helen Aguirre Ferre, the governor's communications director, in an email accompanying the revised proclamation. "The governor stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ and Hispanic communities who were attacked during this horrific act of violence at Pulse three years ago today."
When asked about the omission at a bill signing in Jacksonville, the governor said he wasn't involved in drafting the original proclamation.
"When someone said that this wasn't in there, I said, 'Well, then put it in there.' So we fixed it," DeSantis said. "Obviously, we flew the flags at half staff and that was the reason we put out the proclamation. Sometimes these things happen and you've just got to correct it."
Later in the day, DeSantis and his wife, Casey, visited Pulse and laid bouquets of flowers outside the nightclub.
In the U.S. Senate, Florida's two Republican U.S. senators introduced a resolution honoring the 49 people killed on Latin night. The resolution, which passed with unanimous consent, noted that the massacre was "an attack on LGBTQ community, the Hispanic community, the city of Orlando, the state of Florida and the United States."
Gunman Omar Mateen was killed after a three-hour standoff by SWAT team members. He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. At the time, the Pulse massacre was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. However, another mass shooting the following year along the Las Vegas Strip became the deadliest when 58 people were killed.
In Orlando, churches were ringing bells 49 times at noon, names of the slain were read at a midday church service in downtown Orlando and a Wednesday night memorial service was planned outside the Pulse nightclub, which has been closed since the shooting in June 2016.
Some survivors and friends gathered at the club shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday to mark the exact time the shooting started.
Pulse owner Barbara Poma has established a nonprofit to open a memorial and museum at the site. About $14 million has been raised for the $50 million project. Six design firms have been selected as finalists and the winner will be chosen in the fall. The permanent memorial and museum are scheduled to open in 2022.

Police officer avoids rape charge, is sentenced to parole
NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) — A New Orleans police officer who lost his job after being accused of raping a woman pleaded guilty to a reduced charge this week and was placed on probation.
Ben Burford, 32, was charged with third-degree rape but pleaded guilty instead to indecent behavior with a juvenile older than 13 as part of a deal with prosecutors in the Jefferson Parish district attorney's office, according to The New Orleans Advocate.
The third-degree rape charge can carry a 25 year prison sentence while the indecent behavior charge can carry a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. The victim in the case was a 20-year-old woman at the time Burford was accused of raping her, according to the Advocate.
Judge Stephen Grefer of the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna sentenced him to four years' probation and 15 years of registering as a sex offender.
The woman who accused the officer of rape told The Advocate she approved of the plea deal because it was the only way she could ensure disciplinary action for Burford without her having to go through enduring a public trial.
"I would have loved to see him go to jail," she told The Advocate. "But I did what I could so that he couldn't do this to someone else."
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.

This is definetly seems a regression. I did a manual bisect on kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline and everytihng works ok up until kernel 3.3.8. Starting from 3.4 and up until 3.8-rc, I can see this bug.
Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory /home/pedro not ours.
To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1094800/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.
Hey Joseph - Indeed, still exists.
Can you confirm the bug did not exist in v3.3 final? v3.4 is not a linear commit to v3.3.8 stable. This test will rule out that the bug was fixed in a v3.3 stable release.
Also, did you test any of the v3.4 release candidates? v3.4-rc1, v3.4-rc2, etc? If not, that should be done to confirm the bug wasn't introduced in one of the release candidates. The best way to test the release candidates is to pick on in the middle, such as v3.4-rc4. If it has the bug, then test v3.4-rc2. If v3.4-rc4 does not have the bug, then test v3.4-rc6.
I'm assuming 3.3 final is 3.3.8 - I do confirm the bug does not exist in 3.3.8 (and as far as my tests went, didn't happen in any previous kernels I tested). Let me know if you want more tests on 3.3 series.
Thanks for all the testing. So it appears the bug was introduced in v3.4-rc2.
I'll start a bisect between v3.4-rc1 and v3.4-rc2.
"I'll start a bisect between v3.4-rc1 and v3.4-rc2."
3.x -> 3.3.8: All working!
Thanks for the update. So you can't confirm if the bug exists in v3.4-rc1 or not because it reboots during resume. That might indicate that the bug for this report may not exists in rc1, since it's at least waking up.
This bug report is about failing to resume from *second* suspension, where I just get with a blank display.
In 3.4-rc1 reboots while trying to resume from *first* suspend.
I started a kernel bisect between v3.4-rc1 and v3.4-rc2. This will require testing about 7 - 10 kernels to identify the commit that introduced this regression.
Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not. I will build the next test kernel based on your test results.
Actually hold of for a bit. The kernel is still building. I'll post a comment when it is published.
Joseph, feels kind'a silly for me to have you building kernels for me to test, so I went ahead and did the bisect myself to save you that time.
Kernel <= 3.3 : System is able to successfully resume multiple times. Everything works.
3.4-RC2 -> 3.8 (current): System recovers from first suspend, never recovers from second suspend.
6742259866d03d5bc19815441ba928e8378343dc is the first commit that exhibits the behavior described on this bug. This is a result of a merge between 2 branches.
Hum, joseph, did you see my last comment? I can absolutely test this one, but is it still relevant? Won't we get to the same results I got?
restore_state to write to KVM_SYSTEM_TIME MSR, forcing an update.
since the later calls CONFIG_LOCK_STAT's lockstat_clock (also for TSC).
Thanks to Igor Mammedov for tracking it down.
6742259866d03d5bc19815441ba928e8378343dc . This merge has a parent ( dba69d1092e291e257fb5673a3ad0e4c87878ebc ) that specifically states that aims to fix an issue cased by "s2ram broke due to this KVM commit: b74f05d61b73 x86: kvmclock: abstract save/restore sched_clock_state"
I can try to analyze the difference between this 2 commits but I think this is now way beyond my knowledge. What's the next steps?
Sorry, I missed your comment in #33 before I posted #34. I'll take a look at the commits you mention in comment #36 and do some research.
I have removed the tag regression-update from this bug report as the tag should be used for a regression which happened when installing a package from the -updates repository. This tag is used by the Stable Release Updates team to watch for regressions in packages from -updates and inappropriate usage of this tag makes it harder to find this category of regression. Thanks for your understanding. To learn more about how we use tags you may want to review http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags.
suspend works fine every time, as do the brightness Fn keys (they stop working after a single suspend in future kernel versions).
What can I do to help eliminate this regression?
The v3.8-rc7 kernel is now available. Can you test this latest mainline kernel and confirm whether the bug still exists or not?
Unfortunately, the problems still occur in this kernel. On closing the lid, the certain Fn keys stop working. Resuming and closing the lid doesn't suspend again. Instead, you have to click on suspend from the menu to try and get it. This causes a black screen but no suspend.
This causes the laptop to freeze and you need to hold the power button and switch off before the laptop will start working again.
I can confirm the same reproducible bug under Mint 14 (kernel 3.5.0-27-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 19:58:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) using a Toshiba Portégé Z930 - 14L (PT235E) and BIOS Version 6.50 (11/26/2012).
I have the very same issue with kernel 3.9.
Toshiba engineers - please solve this!
Adds sleep and wake support for systems with these registers.
Replacing that write with the corresponding code from acpi_hw_legacy_wake_prep while leaving the other acpi_hw_extended_* functions alone gets suspend/resume working consistantly. That isn't quite enough as events don't seem to get re-enabled so acpi buttons and such don't work after resume. Copying the enable power button code from acpi_hw_legacy_wake to acpi_hw_extended_wake at least gets the power button back but lid, brightness, etc remain dead.
At the moment I've hacked these changes into v3.10.0-rc2 along with another hack to fix a video regression and it seems to behave reasonabley well. I'm not sure what the apropriate fix is, maybe a blacklist of devices that provide the new registers but don't implement them properly? I'll also post this to the linux-acpi list to see if anyone there offers advice.
Here is a quick patch to add a module paramter to switch back to the legacy sleep functions, just add acpi.legacy_sleep=1 to the kernel options. Not a great solution but a reasonable hack for folks watching this bug until something better comes along.
The attachment "0001-Add-option-to-favor-legacy-sleep-code-over-ACPI-v5.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.
Turns out this has already been fixed in ACPICA so expect it in a mainline kernel near you soon. The fix is to simply not use the sleep registers unless the related reduced hardware flag is set, even if the sleep registers exist.
Unfortunately, Kernel v3.10-rc4 does not resolve the issue for me.
On mainline kernel 3.8.0-23-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 Ubuntu 13.04 - problem still exists.
Will use temporary kernel module patch from https://code.google.com/p/toshiba-pmfix/ - thanks to Alexander Pevzner https://launchpad.net/~pzz !
Pedro Alves, could you please provide the full computer model (ex. Portege Z930-BT9300)?
Kernel 3.11.0-031100rc4-generic fixed this problem!
Pedro Alves, as per http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK an update is available for your BIOS (6.70). If you update to this, does it change anything?
I have this bug too..
Can you see if this bug is not resolved, Pedro? If it is, please change the status to "Fix Released".
For me, this fixes the "power key doesn't show logout menu... and if I try to suspend a second time I'm unable to recover from suspension (blank screen)" bit, but not the "After resuming from first supend, brightness keys don't work"


The 4 star hotel Parador de Ronda is housed in the former Casa Consistorial (town hall) of the small town of Ronda in Andalusia, Spain. The Parador has 78 rooms and will win you over with its modern, colorful interior, high standard of comfort and its breathtaking location. In short - an historic hotel which deserves each one of its four stars!
What makes a vacation in Ronda unforgettable is the breathtaking location of this Moorish town in Andalusia. The old town of Ronda is situated on a steeply sloped rocky plateau and is separated from the new town by a deep gorge. The best place to really get the most out of this fascinating scenery, is the Parador de Ronda. This historic 4 star hotel is situated directly next to the famous "Puente Nuevo de Ronda" bridge which dates back to the year 1761 and offers unique views over the 120m deep "Tajo" gorge. Only flying gets you higher!
Measured against the historic facade of the old town hall of Ronda, the interior of this 4 star hotel has been designed in a surprisingly contemporary fashion. In keeping with this style the furnishings too are predominantly youthful, smart and modern and the original colors give the rooms a dynamic atmosphere. The scale ranges from soft violet to dark yellow to strong grassy green. Combined with voluminous sofas and fireside chairs the colors in the communal areas of the Parador de Ronda ensure a lively and at the same time very homely atmosphere. Inside there is a large lobby, a bar, lounge and a restaurant. Outside this historic hotel there is a beautiful terrace in the Arabic-Andalusia style and a small swimming pool with sun loungers and great panoramic views.
Also in the guest rooms of this romantic hotel in Andalusia, pure comfort in trendy colors is prevalent. The rooms are spacious and offer parquet flooring and some very spacious bathrooms. Tip: book a room with views over the Tajo gorge for an unforgettable living experience at the Parador de Ronda. It's worth asking for when you book. Or better still, why not book yourself one of the two-storey maisonette rooms with private panoramic terrace?
In the restaurant of the 4 star hotel Parador de Ronda there is a good range of typical dishes from the region of Andalusia on the menu. In the morning there is a varied breakfast buffet. For conferences, meetings and business trips this conference hotel in Ronda has three modern, well-equipped conference rooms.


Drinkable alcoholic beverages primarily consists of Ethanol.
Ethanol is a transparent uncolored substance that is the result of fermentation of a fruit, grain, or vegetable. Alcoholic drinks are one of the most regularly over used substance in our modern times. Addiction to alcohol reduces someone's life by ten to fifteen years. It also burdens 1 in 3 homes.
Alcohol is a selective Central Nervous System sedative in small dosages. It's a general CNS sedative at strong doses.
Signs that you're misusing liquor is when you begin taking it for self-medication. This can happen when you're troubled or clinically depressed.
How Do Alcoholic Beverages Effect Your Body?
It's presumed that alcohol expends its intended and poisonous impacts through a number of mechanisms. This consists of improving the impacts of the neurotransmitter GABA, generating the discharge of opioids, and adjusting amounts of hormones.
Modern increases in the regular abundance of alcoholic consumption can create significant medical signs of alcoholism. A person misusing alcohol makes drinking a main action of their way of life. This removes well-balanced activity and partnerships, and brings about negative consequences.
Neglected alcoholism might advance to a dependence to alcoholic drinks defined by physical and emotional dependence.
Severe alcohol misuse can induce extensive cardiac, lung, endocrine, metabolic, along with nerve injury.
Sudden termination of alcohol intake in a problem drinker can speed up withdrawal. This is exhibited by excessive sweating, trembling, stress, frustration, and tremors. Alcohol withdrawal is a severe predicament that has to be clinically handled with symptomatic/supportive attention.
Alcohol dependency can trigger permanent harm to vital organs and body systems. Examples are the liver, nervous system, cardiovascular system, abdomen and the head.
Health care of intense alcohol poisoning incorporates helpful care. The administering of hormones along with acids in order to prevent/treat encephalopathy as well as anemia. Incredibly high levels may be dialyzed, however that is hardly ever required.
Disulfiram has gotten a little usage in the client honestly wanting to end booze intake. A trained avoidance reaction is stimulated to ensure that the patient avoids alcohol to avoid the undesirable effects of disulfiram stimulated acetaldehyde buildup.
Naltrexone is a long-acting opioid that can be made use of combined with supporting psychiatric therapy. It's much more accepted than others and doesn't create the aversive response that others do.
Acamprosate: This substance will also be utilized along with supportive psychiatric therapy.

Pavlic v. Woodrum
169 Wis. 2d 585 (1992)
486 N.W.2d 533
Robert S. PAVLIC, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Timothy P. WOODRUM, Defendant-Appellant.
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.
Submitted on briefs February 26, 1992.
Decided April 22, 1992.
*588 On behalf of the defendant-appellant, the cause was submitted on the briefs of Jeffrey A. Schmeckpeper and John E. Cain of Kasdorf, Lewis & Swietlik, S.C. of Milwaukee.
On behalf of the plaintiff-respondent, the cause was submitted on the brief of Jeffrey J. Ek of Bode, Gross & Carroll, S.C. of Waukesha.
Before Brown, Anderson and Snyder, JJ.
Timothy P. Woodrum appeals from an order denying his motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.[1] Because we conclude that Wisconsin lacks personal jurisdiction over Timothy Woodrum, we reverse.
Timothy Woodrum and Louis Woodrum organized a Florida Sub-S corporation which sold specialty food items. The corporation was located in Florida. Timothy Woodrum was a shareholder and the president of the corporation. Louis Woodrum, Timothy Woodrum's father, was a shareholder and the vice president of the corporation. Both Woodrums are residents of Florida.
Robert S. Pavlic is a resident of Wisconsin. Louis wrote to Pavlic in Wisconsin to solicit Pavlic's investment in the corporation. The corporation offered Pavlic twenty percent of the stock for $15,000. Pavlic wrote a letter to Louis stating that he was interested in purchasing *589 the stock but under certain conditions. Louis responded to Pavlic's conditions. Subsequently, Pavlic purchased 1000 shares of the common stock. Timothy sent the stock certificates by mail to Pavlic's Wisconsin address. After the corporation failed, Timothy sent a letter to Pavlic informing him of the failure.
Pavlic sued Timothy personally in Wisconsin for damages arising from fraudulent misrepresentation and conspiracy. Pavlic also claimed that Timothy was negligent and breached his fiduciary duty to Pavlic in the conduct of the business. Finally, Pavlic claimed that Timothy is personally liable under sec. 551.59, Stats., for offering stock for sale in Wisconsin without registering the stock in Wisconsin.
The trial court found sufficient contacts with Wisconsin to exercise personal jurisdiction over Timothy. The court reasoned that the statutory requirements of personal jurisdiction were met because Louis solicited Pavlic on behalf of Timothy, Timothy gained a financial benefit from the solicitation, and Timothy contacted Pavlic two times through the mail. The court also reasoned that substantial justice and fairness would not be violated because Timothy voluntarily assumed interstate obligations by soliciting and obtaining Pavlic's investment while Pavlic was in Wisconsin. [1] The issue is whether Timothy's contacts in Wisconsin were sufficient for Wisconsin to exercise personal jurisdiction over Timothy. We will adopt the trial court's jurisdictional factual findings unless they are clearly erroneous, although we conduct an independent review of the court's ultimate determination on the sufficiency of the state contacts. M.C.I., Inc. v. Elbin, 146 Wis. 2d 239, 242-43, 430 N.W.2d 366, 368 (Ct. App. 1988).
*590 As a threshold matter, we must determine to what extent Louis' actions expose Timothy to personal jurisdiction in Wisconsin. We conclude that Louis' actions, standing alone, do nothing to expose Timothy to personal jurisdiction. Louis had numerous phone calls with and mailings to Pavlic while Pavlic was in Wisconsin. Louis solicited Pavlic to invest in the corporation and Louis was acting on behalf of the corporation. Assuming arguendo that these contacts satisfy the statute and the minimum contact requirement, Wisconsin courts would have personal jurisdiction over Louis and the corporation. See, e.g., State v. Advance Mktg. Consultants, Inc., 66 Wis. 2d 706, 715-19, 225 N.W.2d 887, 892-94 (1975). However, personal jurisdiction over the corporation cannot be the sole basis for personal jurisdiction over an officer. See Oxmans' Erwin Meat Co. v. Blacketer, 86 Wis. 2d 683, 691, 273 N.W.2d 285, 288 (1979). Therefore, jurisdiction over Louis and the corporation does not extend personal jurisdiction over Timothy.[2]
Section 801.05(4), Stats., sets forth the requirements for personal jurisdiction in this kind of case:
LOCAL INJURY; FOREIGN ACT. In any action claiming injury to person or property within this state arising out of an act or omission outside this state by the defendant, provided in addition that at the time of the injury, either: (a) Solicitation or service activities were carried on within this state by or on behalf of the defendant; or *591 (b) Products, materials or things processed, serviced or manufactured by the defendant were used or consumed within this state in the ordinary course of trade.
The trial court found that Louis was acting on behalf of Timothy, but did not point to the basis for that finding. The only indication of an agency relationship articulated by Pavlic is Louis' use of the words "we," "us," and "our" in the correspondence between Louis and Pavlic on the corporation's letterhead. Pavlic also relies on Timothy's use of "we," "us," and "our" in Timothy's two letters to Pavlic. The first letter was on the corporation's letterhead and the second letter was not.
An agency exists if there has been a manifestation by the principal to the agent that the agent may act on the principal's account. RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF AGENCY sec. 15 (1958). Apparent authority to do an act is created by conduct of the principal which, reasonably interpreted, causes the third person to believe that the principal consents to have the act done on his behalf by the person purporting to act for him. Id. at sec. 27. The record does not contain any evidence or reasonable inferences that would support a manifestation by Timothy to Louis creating Louis as Timothy's personal agent. Nor does the record contain evidence or reasonable inferences which would reasonably cause Pavlic to believe that Timothy consented to Louis acting on his behalf. This conclusion is further supported by the fact that all the letters, except one letter written after the dissolution of the corporation, was written on the corporation's stationery. *592 [6,7] Ordinarily the court of appeals is not authorized to make findings of fact. However, where there is no conflicting evidence or only one reasonable inference can be drawn from the evidence, the drawing of that inference is a question of law. See Bulik v. Arrow Realty, Inc., 154 Wis. 2d 355, 361, 453 N.W.2d 173, 176 (Ct. App. 1990). Because there is no competing evidence or competing reasonable inferences to support a finding of an agency relationship, we conclude as a matter of law that Louis was not acting on behalf of Timothy. Therefore, these actions do not provide a basis to expose Timothy to personal jurisdiction in Wisconsin. [8,9] The only contacts Timothy had with Wisconsin were two contacts through the mail: one mailing of the stock certificates and one mailing of the notice of the corporation's dissolution. These contacts were not solicitation within the meaning of sec. 801.05(4), Stats. The rationale behind the solicitation requirement of sec. 801.05(4) is that when a person solicits, the person anticipates a direct or indirect financial benefit and subjects himself to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state where the solicitation occurs. See Fields v. Playboy Club of Lake Geneva, Inc., 75 Wis. 2d 644, 653, 250 N.W.2d 311, 316 (1977). Timothy's two mailings were not solicitation within the meaning of the statute because it cannot be said that he anticipated a financial benefit when he made the two mailings. Rather, mailing the stock certificates as a corporate agent was a ministerial duty required upon the completion of the contacts between Louis and Pavlic. The letter informing Pavlic of the corporation's dissolution cannot be said to be made in anticipation of a financial benefit. Therefore, we conclude that the statutory requirements for personal jurisdiction *593 are not satisfied.[3]
Pavlic relies on Advance Marketing, and the cases cited therein, to argue that Timothy is subject to personal jurisdiction in Wisconsin. In Advance Marketing, the state of Wisconsin commenced an action against a corporation and an officer personally for fraudulent advertising. Advance Mktg., 66 Wis. 2d at 708-09, 225 N.W.2d at 889. The officer was an Illinois resident. Id. at 708, 225 N.W.2d at 888. The supreme court recognized that acts of a corporation may be imputed to individuals where control is shown. Id. at 714, 225 N.W.2d at 891. The court concluded that the act of placing advertisements in newspapers circulated in Wisconsin, the officer's presentation of a contract in Wisconsin with a person responding to the advertisements, and the officer cosigning the contract were "local acts" by the officer to confer personal jurisdiction over the officer under sec. 801.05(3), Stats. See Advance Mktg., 66 Wis. 2d at 716, 225 N.W.2d at 892-93. The court reasoned that officers who promote a business contract in Wisconsin, sanction the activity, and financially benefit should not be able to claim immunity on the basis of jurisdiction for an action involving fraud or misrepresentation. Id. at 717-18, 225 N.W.2d at 893. Therefore, the supreme court held that jurisdiction existed over the individual officer as well as the corporation. Id. at 718, 225 N.W.2d at 893.
*594 Similarly, in Oxmans' Erwin Meat Co., the supreme court found personal jurisdiction over a corporate officer because the officer was personally served in Wisconsin and he had "minimum contacts" in Wisconsin. See Oxmans' Erwin Meat Co., 86 Wis. 2d at 688, 273 N.W.2d at 287. A suit was brought against an Oklahoma corporation and one of its officers for fraudulent misrepresentation. The court stated that a corporate agent cannot shield himself or herself from personal liability for a tort he or she personally commits or participates in by hiding behind the corporate entity. Id. at 692, 273 N.W.2d at 289. The contacts included the officer meeting with the plaintiff in Wisconsin forty-four times at the defendant's Wisconsin office. Because the alleged fraudulent representation was a tort the officer personally committed during the meetings in Wisconsin, the court found that Wisconsin had personal jurisdiction over the defendant. Id. at 692-93, 273 N.W.2d at 289.
These cases do not stand for the proposition that an officer of a corporation, who allegedly commits the personal tort of fraud or misrepresentation, is always subject to personal jurisdiction in Wisconsin. There must be some act or omission by that officer in Wisconsin to justify personal jurisdiction. In Advance Marketing, advertisements were circulated in Wisconsin by virtue of the officer's control; the officer came to Wisconsin to negotiate the contract; and as a result of that negotiation, the officer was a cosigner of the contract. See Advance Mktg., 66 Wis. 2d at 716, 225 N.W.2d at 892-93. In Oxmans' Erwin Meat Co., the officer came to Wisconsin a number of times over a substantial time period, the misrepresentations allegedly took place while he was physically present in the state, and the cause of action arose from the misrepresentation. Oxmans' Erwin *595 Meat Co., 86 Wis. 2d at 692, 273 N.W.2d at 289. In addition to the rationale that an officer should not be able to avoid liability for his or her personal acts, the officers in each case had acted in Wisconsin during their alleged fraudulent activity. [11] In this case, however, Timothy never acted in Wisconsin. Timothy's only actions were two letters mailed to Pavlic's Wisconsin address. These letters were not acts or omissions in Wisconsin. Therefore, unless Timothy had acted in Wisconsin, Advance Marketing, the cases cited therein, and Oxmans' Erwin Meat Co. are not controlling.
By the Court.Order reversed.
[1] By order of September 12, 1991, this court granted Woodrum's petition for leave to appeal.
[2] Because Louis was acting on behalf of a corporation, this case differs from the case where one partner's actions expose the other partner to personal jurisdiction in a foreign state. See, e.g., Schroeder v. Raich, 89 Wis. 2d 588, 595-96, 278 N.W.2d 871, 874-75 (1979).
[3] Compliance with sec. 801.05, Stats., is prima facie compliance with due process. Because Pavlic has not satisfied the statute, we need not undertake the constitutional minimum contacts analysis used to rebut the presumption that due process was met. See, e.g., Fields v. Playboy Club of Lake Geneva, Inc., 75 Wis. 2d 644, 653-54, 250 N.W.2d 311, 316 (1977). Furthermore, because we conclude that Wisconsin lacks personal jurisdiction, we need not address whether the case should be transferred to Florida.


Deciding which foods to eat or avoid during pregnancy can be very confusing that is why we have created all the information for you. Keep this list on hand so that you know which food is good for you but don't concentrate on the negative aspects of eating during pregnancy. Instead, focus on the foods that will enhance you and your unborn baby's health and safety.
Avoid longer living fishes including swordfish, shark, tilefish and many more because they contain a higher amount of methyl mercury which can be harmful for an unborn baby's undeveloped nervous system.
Avoid Sushi and other Raw fishes. Make sure to only eat freshly cooked fishes. The Raw fish is more oftenly contained harmful bacteria and parasites that could cause serious gastrointestinal distress.
Luncheon meats, deli meats and hot dogs may cause a very dangerous disease that is listeriosis. A pregnant women are 20 times more likely of getting listeriosis which is a food-borne illness. Because this bacteria is transferred to the fetus through the placenta and create problems such as still birth, premature delivery or miscarriage can occur.
Do not Soft Cheeses such as Brie, feta, camembert, Mexican style cheeses and blue-veined cheeses.
Avoid unpasteurized daily products such as milk and cheese. Remember to include items made with unpasteurized dairy as foods to avoid during pregnancy.
Please Avoid Refrigerated Smoked Seafood and meats. Refrigerated smoked seafood include fish labeled as "lox," "smoked" or "jerky." Please check the product and avoid the products contained the above labels on them.
Say a Big NO to Alcohol and Drugs during pregnancy because doing drugs during pregnancy can cause a variety of problems starting from premature birth to birth defects. Excessive amount of alcohol intake during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome and significantly increase the risk of still birth. New research on pregnancy proves that exessive usage of alcohol can have adverse effects on children later in life.
Also Avoid Caffeine during pregnancy. Women health and pregnancy organizations haven't agreed on how much is caffeine is safe but most recommend no more than 200-300mg per day daily of caffeine during pregnancy.
Please Avoid Unpasteurized juice and raw vegetable sprouts like clover, alfalfa, mung bean, radish etc because these items may carry certain kind of bacterias that can lead to food-borne illnesses.
Better to Avoid herbal supplements during pregnancy Because their safety during pregnancy is not known so its best to avoid herbal supplements during pregnancy.
You're probably being very careful about what you're eating and adding in your diet now that you're pregnant. while choosing healthy foods is important, it's what you don't eat that counts, too.

Four Iran-linked militiamen reported killed in overnight Syria strike
27 April 2020, 11:19 am Edit
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights now says that at least four pro-Iranian militiamen were killed in an airstrike attributed to Israel outside Damascus earlier this morning.
A number of Iranian buildings were also destroyed in the attack, according to the Britain-based Syrian war monitor.
It says three civilians were killed by shrapnel, though it's unclear if it came from the missiles or from air defense projectiles during the predawn exchange.

Turkey's Erdogan to visit quake-hit areas as government criticized over response


Below is a blog that is based on my vlog about my brand new mixed media ink on watercolour paper artwork, from my art studio in Wimbledon Art Studios. In the video, I share some of the background of my inspiration for a new series of artworks inspired by textiles entitled "Woven Contemplations", some details on the paper I use, and some details on the techniques that I use to create these artworks. Please note, I've edited this blog from the original video version for clarity and brevity :-) To see the full video go here fore Facebook and here for YouTube.
Hi everyone! Welcome, I'm Vera! I am a London-based, nature-inspired abstract artist. It's so nice to have you here with me today as part of my weekly video series "Dispatches from the Art studio" where I share with you my life as an artist in London, what I'm working on in the art studio, and some behind the scenes peeks of some of my inspiration and my influences.
We're at the end of January now, and it's a bumper week for me because my birthday is coming up very shortly. Because of that, this week, I'm a special birthday treat both to myself and hopefully for you as well, if you're enjoying this video series, and I'm sharing two videos, including this bonus video. This week, I had a chance to see some art exhibitions around town that I've been meaning to see for quite a while that are closing very soon. Yesterday, I went to see the Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican Centre and I posted a video on Facebook and YouTube with my thoughts on that fantastic exhibition. It was amazing! If you have a chance to visit it, this is the final week and you definitely should!
Today, I'm back in the art studio continuing work on my weaving series of mixed media ink on watercolour paper artworks. You might remember that at the end of last year, I created three brand new mixed media artworks that were part of my Woven Contemplation series. This series is inspired by my love of textiles – their history, comfort, their look… and physically the weaving aspect of textiles. In late 2017, I created the first three artworks of that series and they all quickly sold to very happy collectors, so this year, I'm creating a few more. They art part of a direction that I'm going towards – revisiting some of my ink on watercolour paper work.
As you know, I work in a couple of different key media – one is ink on watercolour paper and the other is acrylic and other mixed media on canvas. And you can see maybe a couple of my acrylic on canvas artworks hanging in the studio walls right now.
Today, I wanted to share with you the first part of the process of creating the mixed media ink on watercolour paper weaving artworks. In front of me, you might be able to see that I have the final "raw material", if we can call it that- they are strips of watercolour paper that I have torn to create these deckled edges and I have painted over, and then textured. Once the painted and textured paper strips have dried, I've then applied additional paint in the form of pencil and paint pen to add some more texture and achieve some additional detailed effects. So this [torn, painted, textured, dried, and overpainted watercolour paper strips] is really the raw material that this big roll of plain white paper is going to turn into. And then once I have all the raw materials (i.e. final watercolour paper strips) in the colours that I want to work with, then that's when the weaving process actually starts. As you can imagine, creating these painted and textured watercolour paper strips is quite a labour intensive process. There are a lot of steps to do and they all take their time. But here and now is where I first start out with the watercolour paper and then I literally (this might seem like craft hour when you're back in school) fold it and tear it into strips.
When you create a new piece of artwork that you haven't made before, it takes quite a while to experiment and to figure out all the details of how you actually want the artwork to look. To somebody else, it might seem that some of these experiments are about minor details, but in reality they're not. As the artist, you have a very clear vision of what you want to do… as the artist, you have a very clear idea of when something looks good and when something could look better. And part of the experimentation process when you first start a new series of artworks is to figure out what you want.
So in this case, there were quite a few different experiments that I tried before I committed to doing the three weaving artworks last year. It might sound elementary, but one of those experiments was how to make the paper strips themselves. Initially, I thought that it would be less time consuming to paint one big sheet of paper and then cut that into strips. When you are painting one big sheet of paper, you have all the materials ready, it's a much bigger surface area to work on, and you can be much more free, so it is easier. But then when I did that, I didn't think the final effect is as good as it could have been. If you do the other approach (where you first create the strips and then you paint them individually), everything that happens in those paper strips is self-contained - all the texture and additional detail is self-contained within these strips. So the watercolour paper strips become like mini artworks. On the other hand, if you do the other approach where you start with a big piece of paper, you paint that and then you cut that up, a lot of the detailed and texture lines and curves on the strips would be cut off. And I didn't think that looked as effective as first tearing the strips and them painting them. After all the experimentation, I decided that the way to go is this approach – where I cut the paper first before I paint.
The other aspect that I experimented with (again it might seem like a detail but it's actually not) is how do you actually cut the paper to create strips? Initially tried to cut the big roll of paper with a cardboard cutter, or a craft knife or scissors. But then I realized quite quickly that this creates a very clear and sharp line. Normally, this is good. Normally, it's what you want. But in this case, I thought that these sharp lines and edges don't complement the organic and raw nature of textiles in general and the textile-inspired artwork that I was trying to create. I thought that the edges being so clean cut was too mechanical. Because of those sharp edges, the watercolour paper strips didn't have that handmade textured feel.
So after all that experimentation, I decided that the best way to cut the paper (even though it's more time intensive), is to do it this way where it's a bit like when you were back in school when you're dividing craft paper. It's when you literally fold the paper in half, apply some pressure in some way and then you carefully tear it. And with that approach, you end up with this deckled edge which I think looks much more organic, raw and interesting.
So there we have it! That's really the first stage of the process of creating my mixed media woven series of artworks. This first stage of tearing the big sheet of paper into smaller strips can take quite a while. Sometimes, people have this idea with art that everything you do is super creative and super fun and as the artist, you're in love with every part of the process… I don't think that's true! I think the reality is that it's like anything else – there are elements that are particularly creative and which are less creative. And there are elements, which are actually quite repetitive… like this first stage. Turning all these large rolls of paper into little strips takes a long time and it's not super fun to constantly be tearing, folding, and pressing, and tearing again. But it's a necessary part of the process. It's the first part of the process of creating the artwork. And I think that you find your own rhythm with it. Often times, I listen to music, particularly when I'm doing something repetitive like this and you go off into your own little world.
The other element that I wanted to talk about is the paper that I use. There are so many different watercolour papers out there! First of all, watercolour paper has to be artist quality, acid free, archival watercolour paper. Those are the key words that look for when we talk about paper that you use for a work of art. Those key words mean that the paper won't yellow over time and won't degrade over time. They mean that the paper is a much better product for artwork that you expect to last hundreds of years. There is no comparison with standard craft paper.
But even within the world of artist quality, acid free, archival watercolour paper, there is huge variety. There are lots of different brand names and they all have their advantages. In my case, I tend to use a lot of watercolour paper made by Fabriano. Fabriano is a paper manufacturer based in Italy that has been around for hundreds of years. They create these amazing papers that come in three different textures. You have the really pressed (which is actually quite smooth), the intermediate and the rough. In my case, I use both the smooth and the rough. You can maybe see the different texture of the paper on the two paper strips that I'm holding up [in the video]. I'm not if you can see the difference in the texture of the paper on camera, but in real life there is a big difference. And this texture difference exists even though both papers are classified as the same weight (GSM – grams per square meter). Because they have been manufactured to have different textures, this means that how they interact with the inks is also quite different. And that's part of the fun for me to mix and match and to combine them in the same artwork.
I use a lot of the Fabriano paper, because I love it. Not 100% exclusively, because sometimes I think there's interest in variety but mainly I do. All of the paper rolls that you see behind me are Fabriano. All the watercolour paper strips that you see in front of me are Fabriano. It's a paper that is really high quality and I particularly love.
So that's it from me for this week as part of my weekly video series Dispatches from the Art Studio. I wanted to share with you what I'm working on with my textile inspired artworks. And this is really the initial stage, where I take the raw paper, tear it up into strips, then paint them, texture them and paint them again. I'll share the second and third stages of this process in one of my later videos.
Thank you very much for joining me this week! This week, with the bonus video, I shared two different kinds of videos - the first one being my thoughts on an art exhibition and this one being a behind the scenes peek of what I'm working on in the art studio. Hopefully, they're both interesting for you. Maybe you're working on something or making progress on your own projects, whether they're creative or related to work or life.
And as this is the end of January, I just wanted to say that I know that for many people, January is a difficult month. But don't forget that February is just around the corner so onwards and upwards. Thank you again for joining me for this video series! I really appreciate all the feedback and all the love that you've given me! It's amazing to know that there are people who are interested in what I do and who love to see a bit more about what I do and how I do it and why.
So thanks again! Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope you have a lovely week, and I'll see you next time. In the meantime, if you want to connect with me in real life at the Wimbledon Art Studios, or on social media, my handle is always Vera Vera On The Wall. I hope to see you again next week and thank you so much for joining me! Bye!


used my Scan 'n Cut to cut out the oval shape. I added some distressing around the oval and splattered some black ink allover. The banner for the sentiment was cut freehand.

Beautiful card. Your coloring is out of this world. I love the white on white. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.
This is so beautiful. Love your image which is coloured so nicley. Love your design too. Looks great. Nice work. Thank you for sharing with us here today at World Wide Open Design Team Challenge and best of luck with your entry.
A lovely card. The focal image is so beautiful. I love your decision to add the splatters. Thanks for joining us at STAMPlorations CAS.


For a long time I've been thinking how useful it would be to give PURLS to people as a key part for managing evolving social networks. And now that the new purl work we're doing at Zepheira (which is downright scary-good due to in part a rock solid engineering team and the use of NetKernel as a key underlying technology) will include support for identification of non-document resources, this will soon be possible.
This exercise has also inspired me to make some progress on my goal to create some good tools to lower the bar to FOAF usage. I am going to leverage the PURLS work that we are doing for the OCLC. This will allow us to create permanent, resolvable names for ourselves that transcend where we currently hang our hats*. This will allow the networks to be more resilient. As many links as I am finding, there have been a ton of broken links (presumably people who have moved on) that would have enriched the result set even further!


My husband and I wanted to take a short trip for a few days with our two sons who came home for the holidays and decided to take a drive to Key West, we hadn't been there in about 15 yrs so we were looking forward to exploring Key West, but also spend some down time in a hotel that would feel like home. Well, the Chelsea House Hotel was definitely the right choice, right in the Historic District, the hotel had a wonderful set up, we loved the breakfast served by the pool, the porches set up with awesome and comfortable patio furniture, and the eating area with very comfortable setting.
We loved the variety served for breakfast, and the service 'mat all times.
The staff was great, very respectful and always willing to help.
We had a great time and plan to return in a few months.
Thanks for making our short vacation a wonderful one!

Physiological and Psychological Impacts of Using Face Masks in the COVID-19 Pandemic
by eBusiness UK Ltd on May 20, 2021
The World Health Organization, shortened as WHO, declared the Novel CoronaVirus a global health pandemic on the 11th of March 2020. At this point, the new infection cases of the virus were on the increase at an alarming rate. Countries were in panic mode including the whole of the UK. Citizens were advised to work from home, save for those who were providing essential services that required their presence. The examples of groups that could go to work included:
Providers of healthcare services
Clerks at grocery stores
People providing essential delivery services
Many people worked from home due to the extended lockdowns. The logic behind this was that it was and it is still important to keep a social and physical distance of at least one meter. It is because this disease spreads through contaminated body fluids and it's easy for people to contract it when they are in close proximity.
With the severity of the pandemic on the increase across the UK and other parts of the world, it became apparent that citizens should put on face masks whenever in public places. People found it hard to wear these masks given the discomfort they came with. The general perception was that wearing these masks for a long time could be dangerous. Compliance with this directive became a challenge in some areas.
What Are the Specific Face Mask Types Available for Use?
A wide variety of face masks exist at the moment. They have different designs depending on the purpose they serve and the people who wear them. N95 and surgical/medical face masks are worn to protect people from contaminated particles in the air, droplets, and other dangerous fluids from human bodies which may cause Covid-19. They are mostly worn by frontline medical personnel.
The N95 medical face masks are more effective in protecting one against Covid-19 compared to the surgical ones. It is because they allow lesser penetration of filters. They are also more likely to prevent one from spreading the virus to other people as they allow fewer leaks.
Some people, and especially medics prefer to use face shields together with the masks. The shields help in protecting other parts of the human face including the eyes from contaminated droplets from respiration. However, know that it is not appropriate to use a face shield alone in place of a face mask.
Non-medical face masks are manufactured using a mixture of materials including cotton and silk. They are meant to control the spread of contaminated respiratory droplets from one person to another. The droplets are usually released when one is talking, breathing, or coughing.
The Physiological Importance and Impact of Face Masks
Whether one is wearing a medical mask or a cloth mask, their chances of contracting Covid-19 reduce. Moreover, wearing these masks also prevents people from transmitting the virus to other people. You can always use FFP2 face masks in the UK.
Does the respiration process change when one is wearing a face mask? To answer this question, you should know that humans experience two respiration types; external and internal. The internal type takes place in the body when cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. External respiration is the uptake of oxygen from the air into the body and the release of carbon dioxide from the body into the air.
According to research, there is no change in the breathing pattern of a person wearing an N95 face mask when they are involved in physical activity of low intensity. Such activities include the light walking that medical professionals are expected to engage in as they carry on with their day-to-day work commitments.
However, in the cases of mild and vigorous physical activities, the rate of inhalation and exhalation increase by 3%. It is because of the exhaled moisture which acts as resistance to breathing. The change in respiration is minimal and doesn't have a notable influence on the respiratory muscles. The cloth masks, including FFP2 Face masks in the UK, have an even smaller impact as they aren't as tight-fitting as the medical masks.
Do Face Masks Affect the Oxygen Volume That Reaches the Cells?
It is hemoglobin that carries 98% of the oxygen in the bloodstream. The increased resistance in inhalation and exhalation as a result of wearing a mask doesn't impact the volume of oxygen that is carried by the hemoglobin. It is the effectiveness of the body in maintaining the oxygen concentration that makes this phenomenon possible. Therefore, you shouldn't be worried about using FFP2 face masks in the UK.
However, prolonged wearing of the N95 face masks may reduce the oxygen concentration in the blood from 98% to 96%. Besides, the heart rate may also increase from 85 bpm to 90 bpm. In this case, bpm stands for beats per minute. The variations in oxygen saturation are statistically significant but are not important in the clinical sense.
Face Masks and Carbon dioxide Concentration in the Blood
In cases where the concentration of carbon dioxide increases in the blood as a result of wearing a face mask, the body has physiological processes that help to regulate it. For instance, the level of ventilation increases in the lungs which enhances the rate of gaseous exchange.
Prolonged Wearing of Face Masks and Discomfort
When one wears a mask for long, they may report cases of light-headedness, mild headaches, and discomfort when breathing. That mainly happens when one wears a mask for 4 hours or more. The design of the mask also contributes to the discomfort. For instance, one is more likely to experience a headache when wearing a mask with a tight strap. Therefore, you should always assess the FFP3 mask in stock before you purchase it.
Apart from headaches, people experience other forms of discomforts when they wear masks for a long time. They include:
The appearance of acne on the face
Scarring on the nasal bridge
Itching on the face
Mild irritation on the face
An increase in facial temperature
How do you reduce discomfort when wearing face masks? Instead of strapping the mask on your ears, tie them at the back of your head. Additionally, you can adjust the straps in cases where it is possible. Besides, ensure the FFP3 Masks in stock is a good fit before you buy it.
The Psychological Impact of Wearing Face Masks
Humans like doing things out of their free will. You are likely to respond negatively in a case where you are forced to do something. Most people weren't happy because they felt they were being forced to wear face masks. The final results were several cases of non-compliance.
Wearing face masks was a public health recommendation. Therefore, people felt they weren't in control of whether to wear them or not. Later, people began wearing masks as a form of conformity and not to control the spread of the virus.
Among males, there is always a tendency to want to appear to be strong. Therefore, wearing masks makes them feel weak. It is for this reason that the compliance rate is always lower among males as lower compared to females.
However, people should know that wearing masks is a practice that may continue for a long time. It is important to adjust to the new normal. Check the FFP3 mask in stock and choose what suits you. Besides, ensure you wear your mask properly.


Today I would like to focus on communication with your partner at the time of the menopause. We know from our recent survey of over 1100 women that more than two thirds find it really difficult to broach the subject with their partner and it's something that obviously needs to be communicated due to the damage it can cause relationships if you don't get some help. So without further ado - Let's Talk About Menopause: Communicating With Your Partner.
I also learned from a survey we conducted last year regarding men and their relationships with their partners during menopause, that the men often feel rejected, frustrated and bewildered about what's happening to their significant other. But that isn't surprising when in fact, the women really don't understand themselves!
That's why it's terribly important to make sure that you are ready to have your conversation about menopause and that you've also got a bit of knowledge about how to manage your symptoms, so that you are able to get through this time together. There is a lot of research out there that will help you get through this transition. We know from dealing with men as well, that if they are educated and informed they can learn how to best support their partner through menopause. In fact, I currently have a private men's group on Facebook that does just that called Men-o-pause.
Our survey results indicate that a large number of women fear that their partner would leave them for someone else due to the changes that occur during the menopause. In reality, the majority of men really do want to help. They also want to get back the girl they fell in love with which includes feeling loved and nurtured in the way they were before the menopause. And you must understand that at times they don't recognise the person they're living with any more than you know yourself. If you're feeling grouchy and snappy or you're so tired or you can't face being intimate, it's going to have a negative impact on your relationship.
Very often our partners want to help but have no idea on what to do or where to begin. Before you can start that conversation, you need to get your head around what's going on with you. What are your fears and anxieties? What's your plan to get through menopause so that you reclaim your wellbeing? What do you think is going to be the outcome of the conversation? You need to have a list of suggestions of what you want your partner to do?
Organise a time, maybe make like a date night and have your mind around what you're going to communicate. Be willing to be vulnerable and tell your partner that you've been afraid to have this talk in the past. Now that you know there is a solution, you feel a little bit better about talking about it. Remember to emphasise that you want to go through this journey together and I'm sure you'll find you do get support.
You might want to do a bit of forward planning about how your partner can help you. For example, with your diet, if he goes shopping and brings in the things you're not supposed to be eating or drinking, like caffeine or lots of chocolate, gently remind him that these types of foods or beverages will make you feel worse and prevent you from alleviating your symptoms. The same with alcohol or products with gluten which can leave you feeling bloated. Once you know what your diet should be according to your symptom set, you can get him on side to help for the next few months.
One of the best aspects of the natural menopause approach is that many of the changes especially, dietary adjustments are temporary and not a life sentence. That's really important when it comes to treatment options, you might want to then consider them together.
List the things you are considering when choosing the natural menopause approach.
Where's the best place to get help?
On my website, you can learn the different aspects of my programme that can help you learn how to alleviate your symptoms and feel better than you have in the past.
First you may want to see where you are in terms of your menopausal stage. Are you early menopause, perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause? Sometimes just knowing what stage you are in can shed some light on why you are feeling the way you do.
We also have a section of the most common menopause symptoms women experience. Under each symptom we include a basic definition and the cause of the symptom, plus a case study. Below is a list of the symptoms we currently have addressed, with more to come in the future.
If you would like to stay informed on topics relating to menopause, check out my Menopause Weekly Wisdoms. While there, sign up for my Hot Flash newsletter which provides the latest information, science and technology being used to help alleviate your menopause symptoms.
In addition, I offer a managed self-help programme, the 14 Day Menopause Empowerment Programme and my highly successful guided instruction programme, the 6 Week Cruising Through The Menopause Boot Camp. You can attend my free virtual classes to learn about what's happening in your body which includes tips and advice on how to overcome the most common symptoms. Bottom line, there are a variety of things that you can do and your husband or partner can be involved with that as well.
treat yourselves to a dinner out or an intimate dinner at home. Allow yourselves the pleasure of a cuddle or massage on a regular basis, be attentive to each other's needs and set time aside to really be with each other. Remember this is a journey you can do together because you'll come out stronger for it at the end of the day.
In this week's Hot Flash newsletter, I am focusing on night sweats. I have three supplements that do a very good job of reducing this rather annoying symptom.
A great first aid measure for a instant cool down during a flush.

Thread: Is there any app that supports downloading streams from this site?
I tested Media Catcher with the videos on this site and it worked great.
I didn't have to play with the settings at all. Remember that the secret to using Replay Media Catcher is that you need to open the program AND click "start recording" BEFORE even going to the website that you want to record from. let me know if it works for you!
Some FLV streams of ARD Mediathek site can't be recorded.
