China may face wider pork bans as African swine fever spreads
by Van Peters	- at September 09, 2018
BEIJING--China reported four cases of African swine fever on September 6, bringing the number of outbreaks to 13 since the virus was discovered in the country just over a month ago.
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has expressed concerns the disease may threaten the Korean peninsula and countries in Southeast Asia if China does not stop the outbreak fast.
China's most recent African swine fever outbreak occurred on Sept 1 in the township of Changqing in north-eastern Heilongjiang province, about 100 km from the border with Russian Federation, where the disease has been spreading for more than a decade. The epidemic has killed a total of 12 pigs and sickened 39 in one local farm, MoARA said.
"By this Friday, we will come up with a framework for the region with priority action plans for each country", said Wantanee Kalpravidh, regional manager of the FAO's Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases, on Wednesday.
The seminar will review recent research studies and technologies and consider lessons from recent and ongoing episodes in Europe, it said. China's agriculture ministry recently announced it would close live hog markets in the affected provinces and would impose a ban on transporting pigs and pork products from the provinces.

The six countries are China, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Moldova and Ukraine, he told reporters after a meeting on ASF risks with stakeholders and pig farmers.
The outbreaks have pushed up pork prices in the country's south and could have an imoact on global trade, with China likely to be forced to import more pork.
Highlighting the challenge though, South Korea had to ramp up quarantine measures at airports after finding a traveler carrying Chinese food infected with the disease.
"It may be very, very hard to control this epidemic in China".
Many countries, including Australia, ban pork and pork-containing products from China because of the risk of introduction of another livestock scourge, foot-and-mouth disease.

In Georgia, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a misdemeanor offense, punishable by no more than a year in jail. There are certain times, however, when a DUI can be a felony and carry the potential for much harsher penalties. It is important to know when your behavior may result in charges of felony DUI rather than a misdemeanor. If you have been arrested for a DUI in Cherokee County, do not hesitate to contact us for immediate assistance.
If you repeatedly drive drunk and demonstrate that you do not understand the risk your actions pose to yourself and others, you may face felony DUI charges. Your first, second, and third DUI offenses will generally be misdemeanors. If you are arrested for a fourth DUI within a 10-year-period of those prior offenses, you will be charged with felony DUI.
A fourth DUI within a 10-year period is punishable by the indefinite suspension of your license, one to five years in prison, and $1,000 to $5,000 in criminal fines. Judges have the authority to suspend the lengthy term of imprisonment. However, even if a judge decides to reduce or suspend your sentence, you will still be required to serve at least 90 days behind bars for a fourth DUI conviction.
cause brain damage resulting in the loss of the use of a body part.
In other words, injuries that result in amputation, paralysis (temporary or permanent), limited mobility, disfigurement, scarring, or have other debilitating effects can be considered serious under the law.
Drivers can face multiple felony counts of DUI With Serious Injury By Vehicle if more than one person is injured in a DUI-related accident. The penalty for DUI with serious injury by vehicle can range from as little as one year in prison to as many as 15 years behind bars. The length of the sentence will depend on the type of injury suffered by the victim(s).
Driving yourself and other adults is dangerous when you are drunk. When children are put in harm's way, the state considers your behavior to be extremely reprehensible. Driving with children in the car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol does not automatically aggravate a DUI to a felony unless it is your third arrest. However, it does warrant an additional criminal charge: DUI Child Endangerment.
You can be charged with DUI child endangerment for each child under the age of 14 that is in the car at the time of your arrest. There are no exceptions for children who are related to you. Charges can be aggravated if your BAC is extremely high or if you are involved in a crash.
Driving minor children while drunk, when charged as a felony, is punishable by 1 to 3 years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.
If you have been arrested for drunk driving in Cherokee County, it is important to fight any criminal charges that you may face. While driving under the influence is generally charged as a misdemeanor, certain circumstances can cause the charges to be aggravated to a felony. Hiring an experienced Cherokee County DUI attorney to defend you will help to limit the consequences you face. Contact us today to set up a free consultation with our experienced Georgia DUI lawyers.

Today I've been working with the first grade team preparing to created their e-portfolios for the kids.
We started off the year talking about how we could organize the photos and movies that would be taken over the year so that when it came to this stage of the process it would be as quick and easy as possible. With 30 days of school left the last thing teachers want is to spend their time learning a new skill.
That's it……cute little e-portfolio for 1st grade students of pictures and videos throughout their year of learning.
It took longer for the videos to render (about 15 minutes) then it did to do the whole rest of the process.
The key to the whole thing is starting in August with a plan of how to keep track and organize the photos and movies.
iPhoto makes this easy. As soon as a teacher connects their camera to the laptop iPhoto pops up and teachers could quickly drag the right photo into each students album.
Just another way of using pictures and media to record learning.
Thanks for the idea, Jeff! I will be passing this along. I was wondering whether or not the e-portfolios are used in any manner for assessment, or if the purpose is strictly to create an archive of student learning.
In 1st grade these are being used strictly for creating an archive of student learning. There are better ways to do this for assessment and actual student involvement. But for what the teachers were after this makes it nice and simple.
Thanks for this. We are interested in e-portfolios for MYP Grades 6 – 10…require reflections and evidence of student work and school like requiring a combination of text, video, images….any suggestions or examples?
Yes for these grades I would suggest a blog where the students are in control of their own content. Tomorrow I'll write a blog post on what we're setting up here and how Shanghai American School is using blogs to do this.
Well, Best example of site for eportfolio will be Glogster.com. You can also create teacher accounts just add /EDU. Students can add pictures,sound and Videos in an interactive way. Just don't create too many Student accounts hard to manage.
We tried used Glogster.com a couple weeks ago and found it very clunky. Would love to see some examples of how you are using it.
Great idea. Would it work even easier with a smart album and faces in iPhoto 09? Something to check out for next year maybe.
I was thinking that you would have to have all the photos on one computer for this to work. Is that what you did?
For kids to have more input into the process they could make a photo book- autoflow for the little kids or kids choose their favourites to insert.
Then either export as a movie or print but as a pdf for parents to view. Kids could have some text to go with it that way.
Looks all professional and hard to do but absolutely dead easy.
I like this idea for our youngest students – we do have a portfolio for our EY students right now but this is entirely created by the assistant in each class with photos and movies. This way it seems much easier! Thanks!
Do you have to work with Mac in order to use iPhoto?
Great idea for all grades.
Yes, iPhoto is only available on a Mac platform.
debbiediaz - RT @jutecht: iPhoto your Portfolio http://tinyurl.com/c3r6ay Love this idea. So easy.

STOKE CITY have completed their fifth signing of the summer with Tom Ince checking in at the bet365 Stadium from Huddersfield Town.
Ince has signed a four-year contract and follows Peter Etebo, Benik Afobe, Adam Federici and James McClean in arriving ahead of the 2018/19 Championship season.
Ince, the son of former England skipper Paul Ince, finds himself reunited with Gary Rowett who he worked under at Derby.
Rowett said: "I've had the fortune to work with Tom before and he's a terrifically talented player. He's very strong technically and can play anywhere across the front three, but he's particularly good from the right-hand side.
Ince, who lists Liverpool, Blackpool and Hull among his former clubs, made 33 Premier League appearances last season for Huddersfield. He scored his first goal for the Terriers against Stoke in a 1-1 draw on Boxing Day.

COVID-19 and the impact to the global private capital market: part one
Thursday, April 30, 2020 | By Kamran Anwar, Head of Private Equity, EMEA
Many private capital firms are looking to learn more about how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting their portfolios and to find out how others in the market are responding. Recently we had virtual conversations with several leading private capital companies, limited partners and industry stakeholders to gather insight into what is happening and what's coming next.
Many of the executives were immersed in two exercises:
They were analyzing the impact on their portfolios by taking a metric-based view from high- risk to low-risk portfolio companies.
They changed the frequency of interaction and dialogue with limited partners. There are more frequent two-way discussions focused on enhanced risk-based analytics with liquidity as a component of the analysis.
Many executives are also examining government policy directives to ensure that private equity portfolio companies can take advantage of the available safety nets. Many executives expressed the need for additional clarity and output from government schemes.
While the exit window is closed and fundraising will be a challenge for specific strategies, other strategies can fare well in any displacement scenario, including the present environment. Past performance shows the private equity industry has been relatively resilient during market downturns. While today's playbook looks quite different, we can assess lessons learned and adapt. For example, the rise in demand for co-investments—as appetite for blind pool risk has declined—is an important outcome of the evolution of this industry.
Despite prior market downturns, the private equity industry has returned 7.5x invested capital in this century alone. This proven track record keeps private equity ahead of other asset classes.
The ability for private equity to bounce back from the current environment is based on its underlying dynamics—i.e., more nuanced economic mark to market implications, and buy-to-hold underlying assets. While valuations will see a downward adjustment in the coming quarters, managers can sustain portfolio companies and help them weather the storm through financial re-engineering, government support and provision of working capital. Also, as we think about the future, there is a dry powder available for acquisitions at attractive valuations.
We also see an increase in Private Equity Investing in Public Equities (PIPE) transactions. With precipitously low valuations, there will be attractive opportunities for private equity firms. There will be chances to take a foothold in public companies without attempting to take any business private. As the market rebounds, so could the controlling stakes in these businesses.
Some firms are calling capital more rapidly than initially planned, and some may draw down capital call facilities to mitigate short-term financing bottlenecks or to fund acquisitions. As managers make decisions with incomplete data in an ever-evolving situation, they need to be mindful of future scrutiny on current choices.
The current environment could lead to a rise in secondary transactions. We spoke to one of the leading players in this space and he noted that an increase did not happen in the 2008 market crash. Instead, LPs held onto their positions rather than off-loading them at below-market prices. There is no textbook on the trajectory or resulting trends from a crisis. Each crisis charts its own path.
The evolving situation and opinion will continue to change based on a variety of factors. There is no doubt banks are better prepared to weather the storm. There are counter-cyclical buffers in place, a decade of stress-testing and the central bank is pumping more liquidity into the market. While this will be a challenging 12-18 months, overall balance sheet strength and better preparedness are cause for longer-term optimism.
In our recent webinar, "SS&C Dialogues: Impact of COVID-19 on Private Capital – A Perspective from the Leads," a panel of private equity fund leaders commented on the situation triggered by the outbreak of COVID-19 and how firms can support their investors during the crisis. Listen to this webinar recording to hear how GPs have been managing their stakeholder engagement efforts while reflecting on best practice overall. Panelists also provide insight into the current shifting market environment and its evolution, efforts around maintaining a stable portfolio and outlook for the future.

Owen A O'Connor, MD, PhD from the Columbia University Medical Center Center for Lymphoid Malignancies, New York, NY, presents the results of the first multicenter, randomized Phase III study (NCT01482962) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), which evaluated alisertib vs the investigator's choice (pralatrexate, romidepsin or gemcitabine). Alisertib is a selective inhibitor of Aurora A kinase but it was not found to be superior to the comparator arm in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). He explains some of the key findings and also talks about data from another study showing a synergy between alisertib and romidepsin.
The results were presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2015 Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL.

South Africa Racial Trends and Die-Hard Apartheid
By Laura Oneale on January 7, 2015 2 Comments
The diverse ethnic groups in South Africa continue to sling racial remarks and blame the die-hard apartheid system of setting a new trend. In South Africa, it is the white minority group of people who receives the brunt of criticism and are marked as racist in the new South Africa. After twenty years of democracy, the social divide among the different cultures cause social inequality.
A recent survey revealed that most South African holiday resorts and beaches still demonstrate the racial divide among cultures. During the apartheid years all beaches in South Africa were reserved for white people only. Since the inception of the African National Congress (ANC) governing party, the majority of people have had access to freedom of beaches. Most beaches visited showed a remarkable integration of different cultural groups and people believe South Africans have moved forward.
There are exclusive beaches around South Africa that remain predominantly white. Clifton Beach in Cape Town revealed more white people visited this beach than other ethnic groups. A black visitor to the trendy Clifton Beach in Cape Town said the clean environment and safety was the primary reason for visiting. The local popular beaches appear to be overcrowded, filthy and unsafe.
Different opinions and racist remarks among South Africans reveal that most visitors seek exclusive beaches based on the cleanliness and safety. The Durban beaches are predominately black and visitors find the filth and overcrowding offensive. A few white visitors to this beach commented that safety was a concern. The trendy beaches around the country are often visited by tourists and the wealthier group of people as the racial divide continues to be an ongoing problem.
Spokesperson, Mienke Steytler, of the South African Institute of Race Relations blames the current segregation on apartheid planning. According to Steytler, the ANC government has to deal with the consequences of the apartheid development to separate people. Social Movement Abahlali baseMjondolo spokesperson, Thembani Ngongoma, said the ANC government has failed to address the structural disparity and unite people of all races in the last twenty years.
Over the past twenty years, the ANC government has focused on the poorest people in South Africa and created a middle-class structure for black people. Racial targets by government to promote black officials in all public sector facilities have preceded the measure to promote equality with the broad-based affirmative action plan.
Several racial incidents have attracted attention and social media is leading the trend of racial incidents. The insulting comments from both white and black people continuously spark debate between the die-hard apartheid and the ANC government. A clear indication that social inequality is a major problem in different cultures exists today. Black people continue to blame apartheid for the failing democracy system and remain adamant there are no black racists. White people are perceived as racist toward other cultural groups who illustrate a superiority attitude toward the majority. There is a group of different cultures who believe that not all white and black people are racist and strive to promote human dignity.
The aspiration of a non-racial future for South Africa appears to fail the democracy and constitution for all cultural groups. The ANC government is perceived to have promoted no time to the social inequality among the different cultural groups while focusing on advancing black people.
The bitter divide, past and failure, of the last twenty years needs to be buried to end the racial trend of inequality. The ANC government and President Jacob Zuma, who rules from the Nkandla homestead instead of the Union buildings, has influenced the vast change of leadership. People identify the promotion of incompetent ministers and endless reshuffling of the cabinet as a signal of the failing governance from the ANC party. The ANC has become a party recognized as the freedom from apartheid party and not a democracy party. People are beginning to acknowledge the importance of opposing political parties and the freedom to choose a corrupt free leader.
The latest politician to comment on the racial hurls is Blade Nzimande who said the media allowed public remarks to be published. The media according to Nzimande had no intention of controlling the racial comments. The hate speech, racism and blatant intolerance permitted by media must be curbed according to Nzimande.
Nzimande wants the South African Human Rights Commission to take drastic action against the media for racial remarks published on the Internet. Chairperson of South African National Editor's Forum (SANEF) confirmed that measures are in place to stop undesirable content posted on the Internet and said Nzimande was not aware of SANEF commitment to end racial hatred published online.
Anton Harber, the chairperson of Freedom of Expression Institute, uttered agreement about Nzimande's apprehension over the growing racial hatred and expressed caution against government meddling. Harber believes government regulating or interfering with the internet content would discourage the public's engagement to voice opinions on the internet.
General comments on racial hatred over social media and newspapers are despicable but considered an excellent political tool. The public has raised concern about President Zuma's speeches that always seem to refer to the past and critical references to white people. The Constitution of South Africa is envisaged as a non-racial societal democracy and disheartens cultural groups. The continual blame of whites who benefited from the diehard apartheid system remains the widely fashionable reason for the troubled land. The apartheid dividend has been squandered and the ANC government is beyond repair. Curbing freedom of speech on the Internet is another ploy by the governing party to maintain control of South Africa.

I do not even know the way I ended up here, but I believed this put up used to be great. I do not realize who you're but definitely you're going to a well-known blogger should you aren't already 😉 Cheers!

It will help a lot if all reference to race will be removed from our laws. The ANC government is keeping apartheid alive with BEE and the other laws.

Cleveland Police Report on May 30th Provides Faulty Framework for More Police Violence
by Sam Allard
Emanuel Wallace / Scene
According to an internal review of Cleveland Police conduct on May 30th, 2020, local officers understood the precise use of force guidelines by which they are governed. The munitions teams who launched cannisters of tear gas and fired pepper balls, pepper spray, flash grenades, and assorted less-than-lethal bullets into a crowd at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center six months ago "acted within their training and used munitions effectively" as crowd control measures.
"When officers used force," the report asserted, "injuries to citizens were minor or non-existent."
John Sanders, the 24-year-old Sandusky resident who was shot in the eye with a beanbag round while snapping a photograph outside the Justice Center and who later had his eyeball surgically removed, would likely dispute the characterization of his injury as minor or non-existent. (Sanders was shot by a Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Deputy, not a Cleveland Police Officer, for the record, though the distinction is no doubt immaterial to him.)
This what the police do when you're walking alone unarmed in the street in Cleveland Ohio pic.twitter.com/ZkvWqANB8L
— Splenda 👨🏿🎤 (@OGJohnTee) July 16, 2020
The report, released Thursday, was overseen by retired Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Col. Michael Black and was an attempt to document "all aspects" of the civil unrest on the day of the George Floyd demonstrations in Cleveland. It included the compilation and analysis of police reports, body camera footage, local media accounts, social media posts and internal intelligence.
The day's events, which evolved from an afternoon protest into scattered evening riots, have been reconstructed in meticulous, if sometimes suspect, detail. That's in keeping with the report's stated aims: not to ascertain why the demonstration became violent, but to document what happened in order to improve police policies and procedures. The first half is a panoramic, hour-by-hour timeline of the chaos. It conveys well the extent of property damage downtown. The time and location of every broken window and every trash can set ablaze is recorded with precision.
It also confirms what had been previously known: that Cleveland Police were in tactical disarray for much of the afternoon and evening, overwhelmed both by the size of the crowd and the scope of attendees' responses. CPD's initial intelligence, harvested from a Facebook event post, dramatically underestimated the eventual number of protesters. The report describes attendance as "more than 1,000" at both 1:30 and 3 p.m., but based on personal observations I think it may have been closer to 3,000.
At a virtual press conference with the city's top safety personnel Thursday afternoon, Police Chief Calvin Williams described the report's recommendations as largely matters of personnel and equipment. Even if all 1,600 of the city's police officers had been downtown, he said, property damage and looting likely could not have been prevented entirely. But better planning, more officers and more strategic staging of "assets" could have more effectively controlled the crowd and ameliorated some of the damage. "It would have been a better outcome," he said, though he doubted that use of force could have been prevented even with maximal staffing levels.
That view is reflected in many of the report's recommendations. Some of them, including sensible suggestions about interagency coordination and large-scale event preparation, have already been implemented. But many of the others presage the escalating militarization of the department. Indeed, the unchallenged consensus that Cleveland Police were "unprepared" or "ill-equipped" for the demonstrations leads to almost no other outcome.
The report, then, serves a familiar purpose. Just as the erroneous information that Mayor Frank Jackson and Chief Calvin Williams fed the media in the immediate aftermath of the unrest supported a narrative whereby a violent police response was proper and good, the report, which absurdly overplays the "tactics" of protesters, creates a framework for ongoing police violence. The principles of the police response on May 30th are never questioned. It's taken for granted that officers behaved commendably under extraordinary pressure. Their use of force isn't even detailed beyond the mention of 19 complaints registered with the Department of Internal Affairs and the Office of Professional Standards.
In order to prevent another riot, the report concludes, the department simply needs more resources: more officers at more locations, more weapons, bigger and better gear.
In that case, it's worth considering: What would a fully "equipped," "prepared" department have looked like on May 30? And what will it look like next time? Hundreds of officers in full tactical body armor and shields, tear gas bazookas perched on every shoulder, tanks circling every grouping of six or more teenagers waving signs? Are we to shrug and accept that this is simply the appearance of a local law enforcement agency in the 21st century devoted to its citizens' First Amendment rights, as Williams insisted Thursday? Is this what citizens want?
Whether we want it or not, that appears to be where we're headed. More officers have already been trained on the ordnance unit, which is tasked with firing weapons upon crowds. Next up is more launchers to equip them with.
And because these officers will be taking up considerably more space in their bulky tactical gear — to withstand the barrage of fruits and vegetables heaved in their direction — the department now urgently requires much roomier and more protective vehicles, i.e., tanks. (The vehicle described below, which should "protect from projectiles" is no doubt an MRAP, a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle that has become increasingly popular with American police departments of all sizes.)
Not for nothing, but this is the opposite of defunding the police. And, if pursued, these acquisitions would represent enormous outlays of public dollars at a time of nationwide police controversy and fiscal precarity.
But justification for these acquisitions is nevertheless baked into the report itself. Though instances of police use of force are not discussed in detail, protester "tactics" are listed repeatedly and at length. After they are described throughout the timeline, they are synthesized in their own special section, which contains more head-spinning stupidity than the rest of the report combined.
I say without glibness that most of this is just too dumb to comment on. These aren't tactics so much as spontaneous expressions of self-defense. When an actively deploying pepper spray cannister is aimed at your face, you too might use the "tactic" of trying to bat it away. Others are just retroactive attempts by the police to save face. It's not like the size of the crowd, for example, was some big tactical secret. It's not like "those planning bad acts" instructed hundreds of attendees not to respond to the Facebook event to dupe the cops. Protests were happening nationwide. The momentum was organic. The police simply relied on weak intelligence.
The very first "tactic" noted, though, does require comment because it seems designed specifically to anticipate a legal challenge. Cleveland.com's Cory Shaffer reported that police gave no audible dispersal warning, as required by law, before they began firing munitions into the crowd. This was corroborated by a number of eye witness accounts, (and my own, for what it's worth). But now, police can point to this report in their defense. It was the rioters, they can say, who tactically raised their voices to "drown out" the reading of the dispersal order. Absolutely risible.
Careful readers may also notice that throughout the timeline, certain alleged actions by protesters are duplicated or nearly duplicated, raising questions about the narrative's overall accuracy. Some are plausible repeat offenses. The protester with the green laser pointer, for example — referenced in the Rioter Tactics section above — is mentioned no less than four times during the timeline. (One senses this caused particular agitation among the riot police.)
Other examples of duplication are more questionable. They point to imprecision in the timeline's reconstruction, which might mean dishonesty by reporting officers, dishonesty by those producing the report itself or dishonesty by those even higher up the food chain. This could very well be an echo of the same tendency to exaggerate the actions of protesters to justify the police response.
To take one example, there was reportedly a broadcast between 3:30 and 3:44 p.m. of "a male wearing a black mask throwing an object under a black Chevy Impala."
Nothing came of this observation, incidentally, but for whatever reason it merits inclusion in the report. It sure raises suspicion, though, doesn't it? Who was the male? What was the object? Was it a bomb?
In the report, those facts are irrelevant. Likewise the facts associated with an "unknown male" who, the report says, at 4:18 p.m. "placed a black bag under a black car." Is this the same male who threw the object under the black Impala? Is this the same event, accidentally duplicated less than an hour later? If not, what was in this new black bag? Did anyone bother to investigate?
Other examples are even sloppier:
Other than "protesters" magically becoming "rioters" between 3:21 and 4:02 p.m., this is the identical event. Word for word. I happened to witness the event in question, though I couldn't say for sure which time is accurate. I can say that it happened only once. So why does it appear in the report twice? Was this a mistake? If so, by whom? Those reporting the incident or those writing the review?
On a similar note, one of the issues that the review was meant to address was the breakdown in communication which led to Chief Williams getting so many facts wrong in the ensuing days.
Scene wrote at the time that Williams lied to the media, and we suggested a straightforward reason for his doing so: to shape a narrative in which the police were justified in firing upon the crowd. If the riot police were being attacked with rocks and bricks and glass bottles of urine, as Williams claimed erroneously, and if protesters had breached the justice center, as he explosively alleged more than once, then police had every reason to fire back. It was they who needed to defend themselves; what's more, they had to defend the public turf! The report's timeline achieves a similar effect with humdingers like: "There was a constant barrage of hard objects, such as frozen water bottles, frozen eggs, metal wrenches, and frozen vegetables thrown at the officers holding the field force line." (Italics added.)
A constant barrage of metal wrenches.
In any case, after Scene's piece, Williams said that he was not lying. He had no reason to lie! He was merely conveying information that he had at the time. Scene asked at Thursday's press conference, then, how he came by this bad information. Who told him that protesters breached the Justice Center? Where was the communication breakdown? In response, Williams directed us to page 13 of the report — though it had not yet been released to the media — and said it would show clearly the sequence of events which led to his statement.
Well, that explanation holds water from about 5:59 p.m. on May 30 to — in the most generous possible interpretation — maybe 6:04. If this report were taken seriously, officers would have been dispatched inside the Justice Center to collect these stealthy rioters who somehow made it past the police line without police detection. There are two possibilities: Either 1) an officer would have radioed immediately to say that the information provided by the Sheriff's Deputy about the breach was incorrect, or else 2) officers would have radioed a few minutes later, after sprinting to confront the rioters in the Clerk's office, finding none, and reporting a false alarm.
Yet hours later, at a city press conference, as Frank Jackson declared a military-style curfew, Williams had not yet been set straight. On the contrary, he embellished these facts further, saying that protesters had not only breached the Justice Center, but had been starting fires and attempting to free the prisoners, an allegation that even the report dares not countenance. Williams doubled down on these allegations days later, in a private meeting with the editorial board of the Plain Dealer/cleveland.com, even after pressed by editor Chris Quinn.
There is no world in which Williams was deliberately deceived by his officers, who were themselves deceived by a prankster or opportunist from the County Sheriff's office, and that the deception lasted until County Sheriff Dave Schilling testified before county council a month later that no breach of any kind had occurred. The only explanation that makes any sense at all is that Williams was fabricating those facts intentionally — that is, lying.
But look at the way the report attempts to cover all these unpleasant tracks:
It was later determined that a CDP officer relayed this information by request from an unknown Sheriff's Deputy.
What? What do you mean 'later determined'? When? How? Who's the CDP officer? Why is the Sheriff's Deputy not only unnamed but unknown? Did the CDP officer relay false information knowing that it was false? What were the circumstances of the unknown deputy's request? Why aren't the report's authors, and the Cleveland Police brass, bringing the full might of their offices to bear on uncovering the identity of this nefarious deputy who caused such a stir?
In Cleveland, to ask those questions is to answer them.

The difference between Tuesday and Saturday in one word - Chris Martin (sic)

Having been to both games, it was obvious today that the difference between the performances was Chris Martin, rather a Chris Martin playing like a proper centre forward. We had someone challenging their defenders, linking and making runs off the last shoulder. More importantly we had a direct option that we could play past/over their 4 man high press instead of fannying about at the back too much. Do I think he's the best player in the world? No, but he is the type of player we need; tactically we can't do without. Defensively we weren't any better, on the ball we weren't better, but we were a lot more effective with the attacking opportunities we had. I hope he continues in this vein.

I thought Martin had a very good game today. Pity about the scuffed shot at the end as IMHO he deserved a goal.

Martin was outstanding today, his link up p,say, his running and his team contribution was fantastic.
Really enjoyed watching him, his passion when the linesman got decisions wrong showed in someways he does care.

I do not disagree that Chris Martin played well today or that we were better with a no9 on the park but the big difference between last Saturday/ this Saturday and Tuesday night was that Derby punished our defensive frailties whilst Rotherham and Ipswich did not

This is what people don't seem to realise, is that we weren't actually as good as the scoreline showed. Our defense is very weak, and if McGoldrick and Co. had actually rememered how to finish today we would have struggled to get a point.

Bring on the Championship!
Was Martin the reason or a different back four to go against?
Quote from: AlexW132 on April 08, 2017, 11:14:34 PM
I don't disagree, generally I thought Ipswich were generally poor. But being 2-0 up before they had a real chance always helps! Against Derby we could and should have gone ahead before it went wrong - today we were ahead. By no means a perfect performance, especially defensively, but the reason today was better for me was primarily the centre forward.
Quote from: YankeeJim on April 08, 2017, 11:25:13 PM
I think that we were able to play in a different way, with a more direct approach when required and also the running off the last man for me meant it was a very different use of the front line tactically. I thought Ipswich were fairly useless, which helps, but the difference was more marked than just that.
RaySmith
GJ and Jamie were really enthusing about him on the commentary - so he seemed important in our victory.
But, of course, he isn't even a Fulham player, and not likely to become one.
Depressing - like a lot of things about us. A feeling that everything is transitory.
So we have done brilliantly to contend for a play-off place, but we could well just miss out. Our top players could leave in the summer, even our manager, despite his new contract.
Back to square 1?
Sorry, just feeling a bit down. Shame about Wednesday wining yesterday, but a great victory for us yesterday - well done to the team and manager. And we can still make the play-offs!
COYW!

Martin playing like that and he makes a difference he is my MOM .

Spot on. I thought Martin was better, better than any game he has played for us possibly, but he owes us that, at the very least, and, in deference to WW and others, it really wasn't special.
F(f)CUK
When Martin is interested he should be in the team. We need a player of his type for the balance of our team. Hope we get a good one early in the transfer window.
The big difference was we had someone who could hold the ball and bring people into p,at or take the pressure off, we don't have thst if we don't Use him. What people don't realise is that It all contributes to how the team plays
2 differences for me
1) Martin yes was one . Played his best game for months and gave the attack real shape
2) Ipswich's attack and finishing were poor . Poorer than our defence where we still have serious problems .
Quote from: toshes mate on April 09, 2017, 08:29:15 AM
Yes, this too. Nothing special and nothing that many other centre forwards couldn't have done. The point is that tactically, we need that out and out number 9 and having one who did the job pretty well made a massive difference to the team - the difference to the sum of the parts was far greater than the individual performance, if that makes sense.


Apinara is a fantastic recountal of resounding Thai cuisine. We were here this past Sunday and were able to get a seat around 19:00 without reservations. Tucked in Pacific Place, it's a clean, contemporary look for a restaurant.
We got pad thai which is almost a staple for an order, for the child. Red curry and crispy fried tofu for the hubster and I. I tell you, everything tasted profound. Elevated flavours, I'm salivating now as I write this post, re-imagining my meal.
The child got a mango smoothie, and we got their speciality cocktails, that had equally snazzy presentations. Sanctuary of Truth was rum, Pimms, apple and passion fruit juices, with lime and vanilla. Siam Myth was vodka with pineapple juice. The chilli flavour didn't come through and for some reason, it tasted a tad bitter.
A luscious, rich, creamy and supremely flavourful red curry with fried tofu and pumpkins. Crisp to perfection with a nice touch of garlic, chillies and basil, the tofu fry. The textures of those two different styles of tofu were great – the fried ones in the stir fry were clean and CRISP. The fried ones in the curry were soft and tender inside, with a chewy exterior, in a good way. I can't begin to tell how many times the fried tofu is messed up with it becoming a bit less palatable and a lot more chewy (not in a good way).
The pad thai was a win too, simple, chewy, well balanced with the sweet-sour-salt. The usual garnish of sprouts and peanuts on the side.
They have a separate vegetarian menu which means big groups can order galore, and you can try it all. You must. I would've loved to!

Q: Sending Notifications at Pre-defined Time Not Working I read several questions here, and have a similar one as well. Non of the answers on another questions manage to solve the issue unfortunately. I know how to create a notification on Button click, yet I failed to create a notification for a specific time. My goal in the following code snippet was to create a notification at 19:00 every day. Here is the code snippet:
MainActivity:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    Intent alertIntent = new Intent(this, Receiver.class);
    AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, alertIntent, 0);

    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 19);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);

    am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                   24*60*60*1000, pendingIntent);
}

Receiver:
public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.clear_dayicon)
            .setContentTitle(msg)
            .setContentText("msgText")
            .setTicker(msgAlert);

    mBuilder.setContentIntent(pi);
    mBuilder.setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_SOUND);
    mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);

    NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    mNotificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());
    }
}

As potential home buyers, when you are hunting for a new Waterloo Region house you are likely to see a large number of different homes as you search for the right one. And it is hardly surprising that it is easy to get overwhelmed and become so distracted by beautifully staged homes and facts and figures that you might forget to ask some essential questions, questions that if left unasked may end up costing you dearly.
If you see a paint colour you are less than fond of it can be changed in a weekend rather inexpensively. Appliances that you dislike will cost a little more to change but not significantly so if you shop smart. But there are some other issues should really give you pause because they'll require costly repairs, or they may indicate larger, underlying problems that will be very hard, if not impossible, to fix.
What are these? Here are some things to keep in mind and questions you must not forget to ask, especially before even considering making an offer.
How Old is the Home's Roof?
The rooms in a home are very important; square footage, the layout etc, it's all stuff to take notice of. But you also need to be concerned about the 'skeleton' of the house, and that certainly includes the roof.
The typical modern roof has a useful lifespan of between 15-30 years, depending upon the quality of the materials and the quality of the installation work done. The cost of a replacement roof is far from inexpensive, often running into five figures. Therefore it is crucial that you not only ask about the age of the roof but the materials used the last time it was replaced before you even start crunching numbers on an offer.
Once again looking at the skeleton of the house rather than its 'innards', the foundation is certainly a large part of that as well. Superficial blemishes and tiny cracks may not be much of an issue but if you observe wide cracks it may indicate a more serious problem that needs to be professionally explored before a sale is discussed.
Many people are, to be fair, almost completely clueless about their sewer and septic system, especially when it comes to their level of responsibility. Often a homeowner may labour under the belief that it is the town or city's responsibility to cover damages if something goes wrong, but often that is not the case. The condition of a home's sewer lines is also something that is not covered by a home inspection as standard, so if the property owner cannot tell you about the last time the sewer was inspected, or the septic tank pumped then making the investment in a dedicated sewer inspection could prove to be a wise move.
The signs of previous water damage are not always easy to spot. And the simple fact is that a homeowner may not be very forthcoming about water issues that have occurred in the past, especially if they believe they dealt with the problem and it's now a non – issue. Make sure you ask about wet basement issues, outdoor leaks into the indoors and if you spot wet patches or notice a musty smell in the basement it's a good bet that yes, there is trouble and it may be worse than even the seller imagines.
If you are considering an older home there is a good chance that the original wiring is still intact. Many older systems do still technically function (by older we mean pre-mid seventies) but they are often very energy inefficient and can pose a significant safety risk. And some insurance companies may even refuse to issue a policy to you based on an outdated wiring system. If the wiring is older you should get an electrician to verify any seller-provided details about wiring or electrical systems.
Original, older windows can be beautiful but they can also be the cause of skyrocketing utility bills at certain times of the year. Sometimes they can be upgraded to increase their energy efficiency, in other cases, they would need to be replaced. That means that you should consider the cost of replacement windows if and when you decide to make an offer on the home.

Sunday afternoon scouring the passeo for a new restaurant serving barbecue seabass. Sunny but breezy, gently blowing the cobwebs away lovely ! Just beneath Garum in Marbella lies "La ola" suitably busy and the small barbecue boat was already boasting a fine array of sardines and dorada. 5 minutes later toes in sand we choose our lunch. The only sizable lubina is shown to us but its 50 euro. That's on the pricey side even for barbecue on the beach but sensing the disappointment in my partners eyes I give the nod and sit back to watch it being prepared and cooked. 30 minutes later our lunch is delivered to the waiting serving table and the show began. Immediately obvious to everyone apart from the waiter this fish wasn't cooked! Despite his efforts to serve it so the uncooked bits were face down ! We pointed out his wrongdoings and he returned to grill it some more in the kitchen! If we had wanted grilled fish we wouldn't be sat on the beach waiting for a 50 euro bill! We ordered fish on the barbecue. 3 times the fish came and went each time it returned the sauce on the potatoes had turned a different colour too !! Yuk! Wholly disappointing dining experience. Won't be going back there again….

Feature: U.S. rodeo women join men in elite roping competition
Source: Xinhua| 2019-07-29 20:32:04|Editor: Shi Yinglun
by Peter Mertz
CHEYENNE, the United States, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Jimmi Jo Montera's daddy put her on a horse when she was three. By the age of four, the blonde, pony-tailed girl was roping cattle.
This weekend, some 40 years later, Montera was still in the saddle, thrilling a rodeo crowd as one of the top woman calf-ropers in the country.
Montera made history in 2019 -- joining an elite group of 40 women to "calf-rope" professionally for the first time, at the "Daddy of Them All," the annual Frontier Days rodeo in Cheyenne, capital of the U.S. state of Wyoming.
MONEY AND EARNINGS
Women's calf-roping has been a competitive event in U.S. high schools and colleges for more than a decade, but this week in Cheyenne was the first time women have been able to compete in the event professionally since the first professional rodeo of Prescott, Arizona in 1888.
And that means money.
A 2018 Cowboy Lifestyle Network article listed 25 rodeo cowboys who have made more than 2 million U.S. dollars in the sport, led by calf-roper Trevor Brazil with 6,079,528 U.S. dollars in earnings.
In 2013, Forbes called Professional Bull Riding (PBR) "America's fastest growing sport (economically)" and in 2018, PBR had revenues of 70 million dollars.
In 2016, saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell reeled in 1.1 million dollars at The American rodeo, and prize money and earnings are jumping for performers each year as the sport's popularity continues to climb.
With Women's Breakaway Roping, cowgirls now have an opportunity to make money, show their skills, and enhance the popular sport.
LADIES STEPPING UP
"Breakaway Roping is great for the sport," Montera said. "It's another event besides barrel racing that you can see women participating in the professional rodeos."
In an exclusive interview with Xinhua, the Greeley Colorado native explained that prize money offered at the professional level directly affects the ability of many performers to participate.
With the average rodeo performers salary ranging widely from 40,000 to 170,000 U.S. dollars, according to idahopress.com, many competitors struggle to make ends meet.
"Now you can win enough to make it profitable," Montera said, noting that riders must cover considerable expenses to compete in the national rodeo circuit, including costs of trailers and "hauling their horses," and that "now there's much more opportunity to make money."
Cheyenne Frontier Days officials told Xinhua that the 2019 "Ladies Breakaway Roping" competition was the hottest ticket in their 2019 line-up.
"More than 200 women signed up to compete, filling all available slots in less than eight minutes," an official said of the huge interest in the new event.
RODEO RULES
American-style professional rodeos generally comprise tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing. Now there's a new event in town.
"Breakaway is where you rope the calf, and the rope is tied to the horn (on the saddle) with a string, and when you rope the calf your horse stops, the rope breaks, and that's your time," Montera said.
"It's different from what the men do, where they need to get down off the horse and tie their calf -- it's a pretty quick event," she said of the men's "steer wrestling" event.
Women are not new to rodeo. Prairie Rose Henderson debuted at the Cheyenne rodeo in 1901, and, by 1920, women were competing in rough stock events, relay races and trick riding. In 1928, barrel racing became the first professional sport for women on horseback.
In 2019, "Breakaway" became the second. The sport electrified the more than half million who attended the 10-day 123rd annual Cheyenne event.
"Rodeo" defines America's Western culture -- a sporting event involving horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the cowboys and cowgirls.
Although practiced in Australia, New Zealand and many countries in the Americas, rodeo's roots in America are deep -- dating back to scattered competitions with Mexican caballeros in the 1820s.
Rugged pioneers who settled America's West relied on horses for transportation and survival, and cattle became their business and specialty. The tightly-knit rodeo community today has many descendants of these 19th-century settlers.
Today the sport is wildly popular in most U.S. states west of the Mississippi River, with Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Oregon, Montana and California leading the pack.
The historic 2019 Cheyenne Frontier Days, the first-ever pro women's calf roping, was won by South Dakota's Syerra Christensen, a 25-year-old, who made 4,406 U.S. dollars for a 4.01 second run. And soon enough, Montera's name will lead these competitions. It's in her blood.
Montera and her husband invite friends over -- not for dinner -- but for "roping parties." They live on a ranch in northern Colorado, not far from the Wyoming border, and their sons attend the University of Colorado in nearby Boulder.
Unlike bull riding and bronc riding, where competitors are mostly young men in their early twenties, men's calf-roping champions are usually older -- in their 30s and 40s -- and the highest paid performers in the business.
Women's calf-roping is no different. Experience prevails, and Montera is a name to be seen soon and often in calf-roping competitions.
In Cheyenne, Montera finished out of the money in seventh place, the "luck of the draw," as insiders say.
But Montera had a unique place.
Few competitors have taken a break from the sport to have two sons -- now both 6-5 inch basketball players -- and Montera only recently switched to calf-roping from women's team roping.
"It's probably been 20 years since I practiced really hard for Breakaway -- but there's so much more to it now -- it's a good opportunity," she said.
Montera sent a personal message to women who might consider calf-roping as a sport.
"Don't limit yourself -- whatever your passion is over there, whether it be roping or another sport -- go for it," she said with a smile.

Indian, Chinese militaries to talk on de-escalation in eastern Ladakh
by India Post Newspaper
NEW DELHI: Top Indian and Chinese military representatives will meet on Monday to discuss de-escalation at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh as winter sets in. It would be seventh round of deliberations between both the countries at the Corps Commander level.
From the Indian side, Lt Gen Harinder Singh, who is ending his tenure as 14 Corps commander, and his successor, Lt Gen P.G.K. Menon, would lead the discussions. Joint Secretary from the Ministry of External Affairs, Navin Srivastava will also attend.
There was no escalation last month but also no easing of tensions, sources said. Temperatures at critical mountain peaks and passes along the disputed India-China border have dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius, throwing up a fresh challenge to the thousands of troops amassed by both sides in the region.
On August 30, India had occupied critical mountain heights like Rechin La, Rezang La, Mukpari, and Tabletop, that were all unmanned till now, on the southern bank of the Pangong Lake. India has also made some deployments near Blacktop also. The movement was carried out after the Chinese tried to make a provocative military move.
Now, dominance at these 13 peaks allows India to dominate the Spangur Gap under Chinese control and also the Moldo garrison on the Chinese side. During the previous Corps Commander level talks, China insisted that India vacate these strategic heights. It told India that it will not discuss disengagement in eastern Ladakh, where the build-up by both sides has triggered a war-like situation over the last four months, till the time India vacates these strategic positions.
Senior Indian and Chinese commanders had held the 6th round of Military Commander-Level Meeting on September 21. China's PLA is adamant that the situation on the southern bank where the Indian troops are in position of strength tactically be resolved first but India strongly wants a roadmap for de-escalation all across Ladakh to be drawn up.
India and China are engaged in a six-month-long standoff at the LAC. Despite several levels of dialogue, there has not been any breakthrough and the deadlock continues.

Romeo Weems' quadruple double helps New Haven notch 51st straight win
Chris Allen
Special to the Free Press
New Haven's Romeo Weems proved that he can fill up any (and almost every) stat column in Wednesday's regional semifinal victory over Detroit Country Day.
The junior forward recorded an eye-popping quadruple double, stuffing the statsheet with 21 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists, 10 steals and seven blocks, nearly cinching an ultra-rare quintuple double.
"He can do everything, he rebounds, he steals, he defends." Coach Tedaro France said about the star forward.
"People just see that he's a great player, but they don't see how hard he works," said France. "He's a great teammate, he gets better everyday, but the thing about him is that he's a great leader."

"One thinghe does is make his teammates better. Four guys are averaging double figures this whole year. Kids love playing with him because he shares the ball and creates shots."
Weems was joined in double-figures scoring by three teammates. Ronald Jefferey led New Haven with 22 points. Tavares Oliver scored 19 points, and Ashton Sherrell added a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Coach France commended Weems' unselfish style of play as a key factor in New Haven's success.
"How he plays, he gets them involved and they feed off his energy."
"It's a blessing to coach a player of that caliber, and still be so humble, and have such great character."
The victory over Detroit Country Day marks New Haven's 51st consecutive victory, dating back to last season.
"Fifty-one consecutive games, we prepped each day the same way. We prepared for this game the same way we would prepare against the last place team in our league."
"Win the day," France said. "That's our team motto. We want to win each day, and we want to get better."
Despite Country Day's Julian Roper leading all scorers with 25 points, New Haven came out on top, crowned regional champs for the fourth year in a row.
"I'm so proud of our team and their hard work. They're unselfish, great teammates, and it's an honor to coach such great young men, and to have the opportunity to teach life lessons through the game of basketball."
The Rockets will go for 52 straight wins in the state quarterfinals on Tuesday at Corunna against Bridgeport (24-1) at 7 p.m.
