Sara Ruberg Wins Marie Colvin Fellowship to Report from London
Sara Ruberg '22 will take her next steps in journalism as the recipient of the Marie Colvin Journalism Fellowship.
Ruberg, who has never traveled internationally, will leave for London this summer to be a reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
"It was international reporting that got me into journalism. When I was younger, I remember looking at the reporting coming out of Syria and hearing about Malala Yousafzai; those stories really impacted me and drove me," said Ruberg, who is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. "Now that I get to go abroad and fulfill what started the dream for me, it feels like things have come full circle."
Ruberg is biracial and her Indian roots marked her and her brother as different when they were growing up. Those experiences helped to spark her interest in journalism and her urge to tell stories that often go unseen and unrecognized.
"Too often, international media coverage of South Asian and Middle Eastern people portrays them as either helpless refugees or radical terrorists," Ruberg said. "It's important to cover war and conflict, but mainstream media often fails to give brown people a voice outside of that.
"In the Middle East, activists are fighting for their countries' well-being and looking for solutions," she said. "In the era of a climate crisis and environmental destruction, journalists cannot leave them behind or forget them. They, too, deserve a spotlight."
The Colvin Fellowship is offered through the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting, which honors the life and legacy of Marie Colvin, an acclaimed foreign correspondent who was killed covering the war in Syria. The fellowship is supported by NewsCorp. It is awarded to one outstanding graduating student each year and includes a 10-week reporting assignment in one of the Journal's overseas bureaus. Previous fellows have reported from London, Hong Kong and Mexico City.
"I'm so proud that the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting is able to offer Sara this opportunity to put her talent into action, and I know my sister would be honored," said Cat Colvin, a Colvin Center founder and board member, and Marie's sister. "It's particularly meaningful to have the Marie Colvin Award go to Sara, who exemplifies Marie's dedication to giving voice to the voiceless. I know Sara has a bright future ahead of her."
At Stony Brook, Ruberg worked on the in-depth reporting project that documented the university's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Stony Brook Transformed. She serves on the School of Communication and Journalism's (SoCJ) student advisory board and is the editor-in-chief of The Statesman. The SoCJ has awarded her several scholarships in recognition of her achievements and professional goals.
Outside of Stony Brook, she served as an associate producer on the WSHU podcast Higher Ground, which was featured on National Public Radio's Science Friday. She worked as an associate producer on "Mayor of Maple Avenue," an audio documentary that tells the story of a victim of Jerry Sandusky, the disgraced former Penn State football coach who is serving 60 years in prison for sexual abuse.
"I've been working so, so, so hard all through college. I've been putting everything into this," Ruberg said. "Things got messed up when the pandemic hit because there weren't as many internships around. I continued to work really hard and everything finally feels like it's paying off. This is what I've been working toward.
"I'm really really honored that they selected me to be at The Wall Street Journal. It's such an amazing organization, and this is going to be a really different experience for me. This is something I've been looking forward to and working toward for years."

Man gets 13 stitches after slicing hand on razor blades attached to President Trump sign
Updated: 4:55 PM CDT Oct 9, 2020
By Alec Snyder, CNN
the Secret Service is involved because the letter specifically threatens violence against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Like people in many communities, residents in Frederick show their political preferences through yard signs. But early Sunday morning, at a home with Biden Harris signs in the yard, Ah man walked up to the door and left behind a warning. The beginning of the letter makes UM, general threats about people supporting particular political candidates, the letter warns. If you're a Biden Harris supporter, you'll be targeted. We have a list of homes by your election signs. It reads. We will not comply or give anything up, especially our guns. The writer threatens to shoot and kill former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was shot and wounded in 2011. She's now a gun control advocate. The writer threatens to beat Joe Biden and rape Kamala Harris and execute both on national TV. The letters been sent to the Secret Service. Our concern is we get that information to the authorities, the Secret Service to protect, uh, there's candidates and make sure that they have all the information they need to follow up and investigate. The incident was condemned by both local parties. The entire Frederick County Democratic Central Committee condemns these threats of violence in the strongest possible terms, the Democratic Committee chair said, and sends good wishes to the residents whose piece has been violated in such an unsettling manner. The chair of the Republican Central Committee said, We call on everyone to respect others, private property rights and their First Amendment right to display their support for the candidate of their choice. Police said the targeted homeowners do not recognize the man captured on video. Police said, to this point, no similar incident has been reported. Here in Frederick. I'm Jane Miller, W B A L TV 11 news mhm.
Video above: Secret Service investigates threatening letterA Michigan man's hand was sliced open Wednesday by razor blades found on a "Trump 2020" sign he was trying to remove, officials say.Authorities had asked the man, who works for Commerce Township, to remove the sign because its placement violated a city ordinance, his boss, Township Supervisor David Scott, told CNN.A Commerce Township ordinance requires signs to be 33 feet from the center of the roadway. The signs were located 24 feet from the center of the road clearly within the right of way, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.The 52-year-old man, who was not named by authorities, had to receive 13 stitches, the sheriff's office said.The township routinely removes signs that violate its right-of-way ordinance, when they can impede traffic or the ability to see oncoming cars, Scott said.

In October, 2003 I covered one of my walls with photographs I had taken that same year in March. I arranged them horizontally from left to right, in order to follow the action of some characters as in a film sequence shot. The scenario for this action was the Bilbao estuary that I could see from the road that goes along the edge of the sea. If I look through the window to my left, I can see as backdrop an industrial scene almost gone nowadays. If I turn my head one hundred and eighty degrees, I get lost in a fork without a visual curtain. This route ends at Las Arenas and I have to go on to get Barrika. At halfway I will pass by Algorta where I spent the childhood I recall. I can't see the sea until I leave my car, I walk in my house and look through the window at end of the room, the window witch is on the contiguous wall where I sited the photographs of my imaginary route. I see it far, framed between the houses that protect mine from the wind, the cold and the heat. The place where my imaginary route finishes is the place where my look ends. The estuary flows into the sea.
I could never try to get the place from where I look under the protection of my look. The characters that settle my scene are, as owners of the action, the ones who led me here where I am. I don't know their names or their stories. I just know that I tore them out of the environment where I found them, just for a photo collage operation. They come from Venice. They are the outcome of two trips, between December 2001 and April 2003. I walk along the streets, hand held camera. A girl reading a paper that holds in her hands walks along the right side of my viewfinder; two men dock their boat in a canal and they unload bottles of water. I am leading to the Querini Stampalia Foundation. On the shelves I find Tomaso Filippi's work, a photographer who took pictures of the Venetian urban environment between the 19th and 20th centuries. Among his work I find a little girl up on chair from where she looks down on the horizon; two men are rowing in a caorlina (1) like the ones we can still find in Venice; a little boy buries his feet in the Adriatic sea waters while he is dragging a bucket over the water. Along with other elements of street furniture, all these anonymous characters have settled my landscape. So I wonder what the childhood I recall is, because as in a movie that I have not seen yet, it is yet to come.
My photomontage work was giving shape to a story similar to the cinema one: no matter how many times you see a movie, changing the original order of the actions will be out of your possibilities even before you watch it for the first time. This order is out of the temporal flow in which you will be able to read it. You feel the movie, as Barthes says, "as something given, when the truth is that it is just a product" (2). A visual product though. That is exactly why, as spectators, we do not process the movie through a visual way, but we let ourselves be led to an imaginary space (3) shot as in a dream. What feeds us psychologically is what our brain is not able to differentiate. It seems to be proved that it does not distinguish between seeing and remembering (4). The matter is, then, how to delimit such confusion in our own life, a confusion that omits the meaning. In films it is done with the sequence. As Barthes discusses, it is possible to "imagine purely epic, non meaningful scenes" (5), but not purely meaningful since the meaning is always on the margin to the scene object. The meaning is constant along the movie thanks to the direction going through it. The meaning "will be, for example, a profession, a civil state, a character, a nationality, a statute of marriage" (6).It might change but there will always be one. The meaning we leave out of our own life will not be what builds our identity. Neither will the meaning we get back by means of a stressing task we devote ourselves called art. The film in our eyes can only be read in our own lifetime.
That is the way Imagined sequence began. With the intention on gathering enough to leave words out, I mean, getting hold of a view of the world. But without being conscious about what I think over now: my purpose was looking through it. Reaching these words I am writing down through the image speech which has not been spoken yet.
Four years later, I was writing about this purpose because of the possible participation in an exhibition curated by Izaskun Etxebarria. This exhibition would create a speech around the landscape alternating video art and painting (7). My project had been developed as an experimental activity related to the development of a doctoral thesis. It was organized in three levels of representation. Each level was conceived under the premise to examine the human visual process unit in the perceptive experience (8), that is to say, each representation was created by a process that reflected the human visual process. The information that made each representation explicit and therefore, the meaning recovered by it, made possible define the following representation. With the third one it seemed to have reached the top of what my stressing task of artist could give for the object of thesis study (9). This object was the human visual function. This function is usually very clear in irrational animals. For example, different kinds of jumping spiders use their vision in order to discover the difference between food and a potential mate (10). In the case of humans, the variety of activities where we can use our vision makes its function be undefined. It seems that this undefinition let us get much more objective information about the world than the one the jumping spider gets. However, the closure of the association between painting and thesis was about to create in me a paradox: that objectivity humans are able to get, and in my case it would adopt the shape of a pile of papers full of words, would not be the source of food for my brain. My thesis object was not the object of Imagined Sequence.
In my reflection I was considering the landscape as a model of the experience perceived by the sight. That meant that the landscape was the object of Imagined Sequence. It was talking about the meaning as a mental eye, since the meaning is what we build mentally as a product of such experience. Otherwise, the landscape, which is the living part, is what gives room to the language so that it might bloom. Barthes says that films are not a language, but a logos. That is to say, films are a continuous landscape. I say to myself that what characterizes real life must be also a perennial aspect. And that was the fate of my search, of my trip that I had started when I walked in my house. I talked about this fate as if it were a place. The place from where I look, right, but where is it if it is nothing material? As for our personal world experience concern, the information we get back from the world through vision is as subjective as the one any given animal can get. Within this vision the meaning can be lost and returned. So what feeds our brain is such subjectivity. And it was that subjectivity what my brain was claiming before hand. It had not found room for the meaning. Because, how can an eye be brought to life? What about a visual brain sleeping under the protecting sky of our own cranium? And what about all the stories we are able to consume under this sky?
"I was outside, open field, far from all kind of roof, it was autumn and he read in a book the most important words he had read so far. Meanwhile, the sun was going down and soon the real darkness and he was fighting in the air, in the nature, where there was not artificial light in an wide surrounding, but the book was fading away inevitably, it was vanishing in his own hands, it was getting dark. At no time, he was completely sure that the following morning, with the first rays of light, he could continue reading. He felt upset by the inexorable deprivation: blindness –separation – castration. Just the language, said to him, has allowed you so far to bear this terrible loneliness. You have no idea what it would be if this language demanded everything from you and it vanished almost completely until the last of my breaths. You do not know what the real loneliness is until you have perceived that tiny murmur, in any corner, in the edge of you spirit. You have no idea how you will have to wait and cuddle when the words get together and you get out of place without understanding" (11).
Paisajismos. Land_scapes meant finding that book where to read all I need for the analysis of the cerebral event that defines the human visual function from the side of the meaning, from the subjectivity of the human look (12). But this book was written in a visual language, so reading meant that my view of the world, my creation, turned down and got me out of it. That was the end of my stressing artist task. For two more years plus the one I had not been painting; the time I took to finish the belated writing of my thesis. And in a similar way to the character in Botho Strauss' story, during that time I was never sure if I would be able to read again. All though, for me reading has nothing to do with words. However, it will be another writer's character the one coming to help me with the meaning of my life.
"(…) and everything that is alive, it is alive as a river. Without interruptions, or stopping. But being this true, it is also undeniable our memory tendency, which is almost the opposite. The same as a very good witness, memory likes something solid, it likes making its choice. Just to compare it with something, I would say that it acts as an eye. However, it would never act as an accountant specialized in stocks. For example, I can't see now the swans kennel in the park, covered in ivy from bottom to top, dark and even darker on rainy days like it is today; I can see it, but, to be honest, I never see it. Every time I look up, my look slips on the tedious green or on the black leaves, and does not stop until it finds the reddish spot that remains on some corners in the roof. I do not even know what it is. It might be a piece of paper; or a primrose that wants to sprout there; or a gable which ivy has left uncovered. Anyway, my eyes do not care. Leaving darkness, they always try to find that spot of light. (…) This is the way the eye acts –he continued- and, if my idea is right, so does the memory itself. Forget the common days; search, however, the light, those especial days, those intense moments; search, like me, a remote afternoon in my life. But this is enough. It is time to start with the story itself" (13).
Then, what's the meaning of seeing? Because I would say that only what I see is what I can protect with my look, what I can protect from being dragged by the flowing of the time of my life. Well, no doubt Imagined Sequence represents what I see, what I have always seen and what I am not able nor I will never be able to define. However, I have been able to get lost in my view of the world, in my creation. That coloured trace that I have spent the whole year placing on a piece of cloth, it is just a mark which my eyes get held, it is not what I can see. The observer which forces us to be the work of making images is, like the meaning of our life, an ethereal body. If our brain is the machine of our body when we create an image, the observer is just the soul of that machine, and what we see is a dream, but a dream that builds the reality in which we can cope with.
Let's say that the fourth level in Imagined Sequence has let me once and for all get the observer which certainly is me, out of reach of my state of abstinence, or even better, out of reach of my conscious, since I am conscious of the fact of disregarding it while I am creating images. According to Heinz von Foerster, the "crucial test of the memories is in its efficacy to foresee sequence of events; in other words, in order to allow inductive inferences".14 Therefore in our memories it remains the time to be used by our memory, I mean, to be recovered. Every time I start painting, all my Imagined Sequence will be coming by like that mechanic and unconscious aspect in my biological vision which is difficult to recover unless I use my art. As the comments added to the code in order to start to handle it, "it's them, not the code, the ones that give the representation of what the code is doing from the handler point of view" (15). If the visual system is the code, and i am the handler, the painting is the representation of what my visual system is doing from my artist point of view.
Painting is making the sense of the image comes up as it comes up in our biological vision: on every corner and in every moment without losing the thread of our mental story which each of us has. It is different in each individual and it's this thread that makes us understand and don't get lost. reach the painting means being conscious of the fact that every picture will involve the introduction of changes in my pictorial process, at the same time as in my brain habits. That I will not need to visualize anymore my Imagined sequence for the purpose of not losing the thread of my mental story. The story is my life. A painting is just a feeling to be recovered from the flow of my life. But I do not need the painting to read on the book of my own life.
The entryphone rings. It's my father. I open the door before he rings another bell. Few minutes go by until I see my younger brother and ruth in the corridor. The dawn was breaking without clouds in the sky. It is time for the movie to start.
4. During the last years it's been carried out experiments that prove this target. Through the non invasive positron emission tomography technique, it is registered which areas of the brain are lighted when we asked to look at something. However, if we ask that person to imagine that something, it is proved that the same areas of the brain are lighted.
9. Sandra Palhares analyses the idea of an iconic encoded image being restricted to a sequence of typologies that are defined as synthetic image of information. What we do is to cancel our own synthesis. That is to say, it is a sterilization of the synthetic image; it wouldn't give an immediate reading because we create the graphism. Such graphism is not socially conventionalized. So finally the synthesis seems not to be such creation.

Complete Stories (Paperback)
By Dorothy Parker, Colleen Bresse (Editor), Regina Barreca (Introduction by)
1 on hand, as of Jan 17 11:16am
(FICTION)
As this complete collection of her short stories demonstrates, Dorothy Parker's talents extended far beyond brash one-liners and clever rhymes. Her stories not only bring to life the urban milieu that was her bailiwick but lay bare the uncertainties and disappointments of ordinary people living ordinary lives.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Dorothy Parker was born in West End, New Jersey, in 1893 and grew up in New York, attending a Catholic convent school and Miss Dana's School in Morristown, New Jersey. In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue, and was subsequently given an editorial position on the magazine, writing captions for fashion photographs and drawings. She then became drama critic of Vanity Fair and the central figure of the celebrated Algonquin Round Table.
Famous for her spoken wit, she showed the same trenchant commentary in her book reviews for The New Yorker and Esquire and in her poems and sketches. Her collection of poems included Not So Deep as a Well and Enough Rope, which became a bestseller; and her collections of stories included Here Lies. She also collaborated with Elmer Rice on a play, Close Harmony and with Arnaud d'Usseau on the play the Ladies of the Corridor. She herself had two Broadway plays written about her and was portrayed as a character in a third. Her cynicism and the concentration of her judgements were famous and she has been closely associated with modern urbane humour.
Her first husband was Edwin Pond Parker II, and although they were divorced some years later, she continued to use his name, which she much preferred to her own of Rothschild. Her second husband was an actor-writer Alan Campbell. They went to Hollywood as a writing team and went through a tempestuous marriage until his death in 1963, when Dorothy Parker returned to New York. She died in 1967.
Regina Barreca is a professor of English and feminist theory at the University of Connecticut. She is the editor of seven books, including The Penguin Book of Women's Humor, and the author of four others. She writes frequently for the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and the Hartford Courant.

Everything You Need to Know About Ladurée
Catherine Tse | 9/23/2016
Limited-edition Ladurée
At least four times a year, you'll see seasonal window displays and limited-edition collections at Ladurée. The collections are all impossibly delightful and pretty, with the trademark Ladurée aesthetic of pastel colours and whimsical motifs. Vancouver has already had three collections so far and they've all sold out.
Staff are constantly asked if the limited edition boxes can be bought individually or if macarons can be packaged separately to keep the pretty boxes pristine. The answer is no to both questions. No macaron leaves the store without being properly, perfectly packaged. It's the Ladurée way.
The ultimate Ladurée experience includes afternoon tea ($40) in their salon, which comes with cakes (financier and madeleine), three mini macarons, yoghurt, fruit salad, and tea, coffee or hot chocolate. But you could also stop in for a pot of tea (starting at $5) and order off the extensive à la carte menu featuring pages of pastries and a variety of finger sandwiches (starting at $3) and three different Croque-Monsieur ($18).
If you're sticking with sweets, don't overlook the pain perdu (French toast, starting at $15), which is fluffy and heavenly, much more soufflé-like than what we're used to in Canada—this is definitely in the realm of French pastries. And the ice cream, it must be noted, is actually handcrafted by a Ladurée chef, who personally comes throughout the year to source and create this frozen treat. So when a flavour runs out, it's out until he returns.
The cozy salon in the back currently seats about 16, but Krakhmalyova plans on increasing this once she obtains a liquor license. Soon enough, you'll be able to enjoy your afternoon treat (order the cake citron) with a glass of Ladurée champagne (of course they have their own label of champagne.)
The Ladurée tea salon accepts reservations and walk-ins.
The Ladurée way
"The Ladurée way," is the essence of all Ladurée experiences, which is designed to make you feel as if you were on Avenue des Champs Elysees wherever you may be. The floor tiles, the gold gilding, the wall sconces—even the music—have all been carefully curated by Ladurée to be consistent whether you're in Tokyo, Casablanca, Stockholm or any of the other 40+ locations worldwide.
Weeks before opening, Krakhmalyova was under the wing and inspection of Ladurée corporate, who sent a team of six people at various times to assist with the store's final touches. The team included interior designers, international coordinators and, of course, Ladurée International Chef, Mathieu Vienne. All were here to ensure "The Ladurée way" was implemented. And this is why you'll feel the same sense of celadon-tinted elegance in any Ladurée salon anywhere around the world.
Krakhmalyova herself went to Paris several times prior to the opening to work directly with Ladurée and spent an entire month training on just the details of operations. She learned how to handle the delicate macrons, how to package them perfectly in decorative patterns, how to wrap each box perfectly and, most importantly, how to welcome guests into her salon and make them feel special.
Meet the macarons
Ladurée is synonymous with macarons for a good reason. They actually invented the macaron as we know it today. It was the grandson of Louis Ernest Ladurée who, in the 1930s, sandwiched two macaron shells together with some ganache and birthed a new era of French confectionary pastries. Today, Ladurée sells about 15,000 macarons worldwide a day.
Ladurée offers a stable of permanent flavours as well as seasonal, limited edition varieties that pop up throughout the year. Regardless of flavour, they'll always taste fresh and as if you were in Paris. These pastries, along with many other menu items, are made in Europe and flown in to ensure total quality control and consistency with every single pastry. Other menu items, notably the savouries, are made with local ingredients that were sourced and approved by a Ladurée chef.
A few macarons are jam-filled (raspberry and red-fruit), the caramel one features real salted-butter caramel and the chocolate macaron is filled with a dark chocolate ganache. The others are filled with a flavoured Italian buttercream.
Flavours, thankfully, aren't crazily complex. Stick to traditional flavours such as pistachio, licorice and orange blossom. One notable exception to the refined, elegant lineup of flavours is strawberry candy, which is the sweetest and begs to be appreciated by a more playful palate: it's filled with marshmallow and dusted with crushed candy.
The macarons all have that signature crisp, thin outer shell and slightly soft, chewy middle. All, with the obvious exception of the strawberry candy, don't rely on sugar as the main flavour point and remain nicely balanced. Refreshingly, all flavours are easily identifiable upon first bite.
Individual macarons start at $3.15 and are presented in either Ladurée's traditional packaging (free) or in gift boxes (starting at $26 for six).
Learn the Ladurée way
Vancouver's inaugural Ladurée boutique and tea salon is also Canada's first for this luxury French patisserie. Best known for their pastel-pretty, exquisitely delicate macarons, the small storefront on Robson Street routinely saw lineups of several hundred people, waiting upwards of two hours during its opening month of March 2016.
Olesya Krakhmalyova, Vancouver businesswoman and licensee for Ladurée Canada, confided that Ladurée initially tried to convince her to open the first Canadian location in different city. Montreal perhaps ("more European") or Toronto ("it's bigger"), but Krakhmalyova was adamant that it be Vancouver ("It's perfect"). And the Vancouver store opening ultimately proved to be one of Ladurée's most successful worldwide openings ever.

Maduka Emilio Okoye (Düsseldorf, 28 augustus 1999) is een Nigeriaans-Duits voetballer die speelt als doelman. In januari 2022 verruilde hij Sparta Rotterdam voor Watford. Okoye debuteerde in 2019 in het Nigeriaans voetbalelftal.

Clubcarrière
Okoye speelde in de jeugdopleiding van Bayer Leverkusen en werd in 2017 overgenomen door Fortuna Düsseldorf, de club uit zijn geboorteplaats. Bij deze club zou hij drie seizoenen als doelman van het reserveteam uitkomen in de Regionalliga West. In de zomer van 2020 verliep de verbintenis van Okoye bij Fortuna. Hierop trok hij transfervrij naar Sparta Rotterdam, waar hij zijn handtekening zette onder een verbintenis voor de duur van twee seizoenen met een optie op twee jaar extra. In november 2021 bereikten Sparta en Watford een akkoord over een overgang van de Nigeriaanse doelman in januari 2022, waarna hij nog wel het seizoen op huurbasis zou afmaken in Rotterdam. Er zou circa zeven miljoen euro gemoeid zijn met de transfer, waarmee Okoye de duurste uitgaande transfer van Sparta zou worden.

Clubstatistieken

Bijgewerkt op 30 juni 2022.

Interlandcarrière
Okoye maakte zijn debuut in het Nigeriaans voetbalelftal op 13 oktober 2019, toen een vriendschappelijke wedstrijd tegen Brazilië met 1–1 gelijkgespeeld werd. Okoye moest van bondscoach Gernot Rohr op de reservebank beginnen en viel achttien minuten na rust in voor Francis Uzoho. Op dat moment was de eindstand al bereikt door treffers van Joe Aribo en Casemiro. De andere debutant dit duel was Peter Olayinka (Slavia Praag).

U.S. Fourth Circuit/
Exclusionary Rule Doesn't Block Evidence From GPS Tracking
By William Peacock, Esq. on August 21, 2014 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court held in United States v. Jones that GPS tracking of a suspect's car amounted to a search under the Fourth Amendment. Before that decision, however, the law was unclear at best (and may have even supported the notion that GPS tracking wasn't a search). That's the point of today's Fourth Circuit, Fourth Amendment opinion: The exclusionary rule won't bar evidence obtained through a search that was performed by an officer who was relying on binding precedent.
Binding? Sort of. There was a lot of case law stating that these weren't searches, all of which pointed to a 1983 U.S. Supreme Court case that dealt with beepers -- the predecessor to the modern GPS tracker. Judge Stephanie Thacker, in dissent, argued that the precedent wasn't binding, and that officers shouldn't rush to use emerging technology without first seeking legal guidance.
Majority: See Knotts
In the case before the Fourth Circuit, U.S. v. Stephens, Henry Stephens, a convicted felon, was caught with a firearm by officers who suspected that he was involved in drug and firearm crimes. The gun was discovered after police tracked Stephens' car with a battery-powered GPS tracker.
Jones made it clear that the officers' warrantless search violated the Fourth Amendment. However, the trial court held that the exclusionary rule didn't apply due to the officer's good faith. The Fourth Circuit majority agreed, beginning with the Supreme Court's holding that "searches conducted in objectively reasonable reliance on binding appellate precedent are not subject to the exclusionary rule."
The majority then reviewed the decades of cases dealing with beepers (and later, GPS trackers), almost all of which held that technology-assisted tracking was not a search (and therefore, no warrant was required). In Knotts, the Supreme Court case which formed the basis of most of these opinions, the Court noted:
"The fact that the officers in this case relied not only on visual surveillance, but on the use of the beeper to signal the presence of Petschen's automobile to the police receiver, does not alter the situation. Nothing in the Fourth Amendment prohibited the police from augmenting the sensory faculties bestowed upon them at birth with such enhancement as science and technology afforded them in this case."
And though Knotts was not perfectly on point, according to the majority, it was close enough to support finding of good faith on the officer's part, which means the exclusionary rule doesn't apply:
"After Jones, we know that such an interpretation of Knotts is incorrect. Without the benefit of hindsight, however, and with no contrary guidance from the Supreme Court or this Court, we believe that a reasonably well-trained officer in this Circuit could have relied on Knotts as permitting the type of warrantless GPS usage in this case. "
Dissent: Unsettled Law, No Exigent Circumstances
Judge Thacker disagreed with the majority, arguing that "the exclusionary rule is well-tailored to hold accountable the law enforcement officers in this case who relied on non-binding, non-precedential authority regarding emerging technology -- without first bothering to seek legal guidance -- in order to conduct a warrantless search which spanned a period of nearly two months."
She emphasized the lack of urgency here: The two months of tracking happened because "in the words of one of the officers, 'the investigation was taking too long,' and officers 'were spending too much time dragging it out.'"
And Thacker makes a simple point regarding the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule: the exact words in Davis were "reliance on binding appellate precedent." There was no Fourth Circuit precedent on GPS trackers, and in fact, in the neighboring D.C. Circuit, a panel had just held that GPS tracking was a search (this case was part of the Jones appeal to the Supreme Court). The issue was far from clear, and there certainly wasn't binding precedent backing the officers' actions.

…For Republican lawmakers, that means doing more than just curbing benefits. For example, it's counterproductive to solve yesterday's pension problems on the backs of tomorrow's teachers by further cutting benefits. In many states, actual benefit costs are not even all that high and the idea of "gold plated" teacher pensions is mostly a myth. Policymakers should focus on limiting future debt costs, not cutting benefits for teachers.
Democrats, for their part, must summon the political courage to deal with this problem at all. They must do more than ask the state to pony up more funding to pay for pension liabilities. Addressing debts will help improve the solvency in the short term, but it won't do anything to stop the teacher pension system from continuing to dig a massive financial hole.

The role of the vimentin intermediate filaments in rat 3Y1 cells elucidated by immunoelectron microscopy and computer-graphic reconstruction
Biol Cell. 1990;68(2):139-46. doi: 10.1016/0248-4900(90)90299-i.
T Katsumoto 1 , A Mitsushima, T Kurimura

DOI: 10.1016/0248-4900(90)90299-i
The three-dimensional arrangement of vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) was studied in 3Y1, rat fibroblastic cell line, to elucidate its biological role in the cell. While actin filaments were observed exclusively in the superficial part of the cell, vimentin IF were found to be abundantly present in the inside of the cell where microtubules were occasionally discovered. By whole-mount immunoelectron microscopy and computer-graphic reconstruction of serial thin sections, it was observed in more detail that vimentin IF are located very close to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. Vimentin IF were observed to be attached to these organelles laterally or terminally. Thus, we can reasonably assume that vimentin IF are major cytoskeletal structures deep inside the cell and that they play an important role in supporting the location of the organelles. This is the first report which has visualized the three-dimensional relationship between vimentin IF and the organelles of the cell.

We've had a spectacular start to 2016 and are working on some great projects both locally and overseas.
Welcome to the first edition of baCKchat.
We're looking forward to providing you with updates on CKA Group and our projects, as well as sharing information and resources we think you'll find interesting and useful.
Designed by Ivo Krivanek and Vic Huang in association with CKA Group's Shanghai office, the Chengdu Theatre project recently received planning approval from the Sichuan Regional Government.
Construction has commenced and is due for completion early 2019.
Comprising a 250-seat performing arts theatre, four levels of retail, 40-floor hotel and 40-level office building, this is the eighth major project CKA has undertaken in China.
This remarkable $1b US project gave Ivo Krivanek and the team the opportunity to design an apartment tower and luxury townhouses for the Azerbaijani government.
Referred to as the "New Dubai", Baku presents huge opportunities for Australian consultants to be part of the coming construction boom on the Caspian Sea.
The apartment tower under construction.
Planning approval was recently obtained for a four storey luxury apartment building in Toorak Road, Toorak.
The building was designed by Robert Caulfield and Vic Huang to complement the neighbouring heritage building.
Construction is expected to start in August 2016.
Following completion of a large pharmaceutical incubator project in Chengdu, China with Sichuan University, the CKA team has undertaken concept designs for a manufacturing and technology incubator facility in Melbourne.
The client is scientific instrument company, Trajan. Trajan is undergoing spectacular growth with their creative management team.
Trajan's project includes 14 separate incubator buildings.
Trajan's Research & Development area stretches over 6,000 square metres.
A prominent Chinese development company purchased a 5 square kilometre former horse stud and engaged CKA to convert and extend the historic homestead to a resort and club as part of this $50m development.
12 luxury houses to be located on 45 hectare lots with Goulburn River frontage are also to be incorporated into the design for which CKA is producing a range of themed designs.
The design team includes Robert Caulfield, Ivo Krivanek, Laura Miller and Darcy Maginness.
The historic homestead to be converted and extended.
In the early stages of planning, this $80m project comprises 200 serviced apartments, a conference centre, function centre and day spa.
Walking and riding tracks that take advantage of the spectacular site are also being incorporated into the design being produced by Robert Caulfield, Song Yang and Laura Miller.
Lake Bellagio Resort is set to become one of Victoria's premiere tourist resorts.
100 apartments will have lake frontage.
Situated on 18 hectares with a six hectare fish-filled lake.
The CKA team has recently obtained planning approval for townhouse projects in Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Blackburn and Mount Waverley.
Our briefs included design, documentation, marketing plans and perspectives.
The first of these projects, designed by Robert Caulfield, Vic Huang and Frank Basanisi, is starting construction and will be delivered for under $2,000 per square metre.
CKA undertook architectural and interior design services for this project in Mount Waverley.
Donwood are refurbishing their 30-bed nursing home, and adding 25 new beds and an administration facility.
This $9m project presents the challenge of requiring that residents and staff remain in the facility throughout construction.
Construction is well underway with SJ Higgins Constructions, Jeremy Hearn and Dean Connor from CKA undertaking contract administration. Harinat Siriwan is looking after interiors.
Donwood reception designed by Harinat Siriwan.
Precast concrete floor panels allow for fast construction and spans up to 12 metres.
CKA recently obtained a planning permit to construct a 20-bed first floor extension and convert seven existing independent living units to luxury VIP residential suites.
The extension, designed by Robert Caulfield and Vic Huang, will include large lounge and dining areas, new administration facilities and several rooftop gardens.
Like most aged care projects, construction cost was a major factor in the design process for this development. CKA has used a selection of lightweight materials to allow large spans for ease of construction and minimal disruption to staff and residents.
Ten years after Robert Caulfield designed the first major extension to this 1960's building, Deloraine is undergoing its second major upgrade and extension.
Construction will start in May to add 20 new beds, and new dining, lounge, administration and recreational facilities.
Part of the design challenge was to devise a staging program which minimised disruption to residents and staff during construction.
Many aged care clients tell us that it was "not knowing how much it was going to cost" that prevented them from starting their building journey earlier. We wanted to help.
Our free Cost Guides are designed to help you understand what costs are likely to be involved in your project before you start.
They include indicative costs for different project sizes and levels of finish so you can form a realistic budget from the outset.
CKA has new home and renovation projects running in Toorak, Mornington, Mt Martha, Yarraville, Ringwood, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley and Glen Iris.
Check out our next housing edition of baCKchat for more details – coming soon!

Thousands of Leave supporters have protested at Westminster against the delay to Brexit, on the day the UK had been due to leave the EU.
Some demonstrators reacted with cheers, while others shouted "shame on you", as MPs rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's EU withdrawal agreement.
The March to Leave – which began in Sunderland two weeks ago – arrived in Parliament Square on Friday afternoon.
A separate Make Brexit Happen rally, organised by UKIP, was also held.
The rally was backed by English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson, who spoke to crowds, along with UKIP leader Gerard Batten.
Meanwhile, at the March to Leave protest, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage and Tory Brexiteer MP Mark Francois delivered speeches.
A counter-protest by the group Stand Up to Racism also took place in Westminster.
Some Brexit protesters continued to demonstrate into the evening, and lines of police were deployed to keep the crowds under control.
The Metropolitan Police said five arrests had been made at the demonstrations – although that included one man who was wanted in connection with an offence elsewhere.
Two other people were arrested on suspicion of assault, another on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and someone else on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
It comes as MPs on Friday rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's withdrawal deal which she negotiated with the EU, by 58 votes.
The UK had been due to leave the EU on 29 March, but both sides agreed to postpone the date last week after Mrs May had twice been unable to get her Brexit deal through the Commons.
Friday's defeat of the withdrawal agreement led to mixed reactions.
Some in the crowd, who saw Mrs May's deal as too soft, welcomed its rejection, while others feared it could lead to another EU referendum.
Former UKIP leader and Brexiteer Nigel Farage spoke at the March to Leave rally – organised by campaign group Leave Means Leave – and was greeted by loud cheers as he took to the stage.
"It's brave of you to come," he told demonstrators. "Because I sense, being in Westminster, that we are in enemy territory.
Mr Farage told Leave supporters "not to be disheartened", and also signalled that he would be willing to stand again as an MEP if the UK takes part in the European Parliament elections in May.
The UK has a new Brexit deadline of 12 April, by which point it needs to have told the EU what its next steps are.
If the UK wants to delay Brexit further, the EU is expected to insist that it takes part in the elections.
The mood and atmosphere in Parliament Square is very strange for a demonstration.
There is a really significant police presence, yet a lot of quiet but angry, angry people who believe that Parliament has "betrayed" Brexit.
When the news came through that MPs had, yet again, refused to back the PM's draft deal, the reaction was rather muted.
George, from St Albans, told me he was satisfied, because he hoped the UK could now crash out without a deal, as the public demanded.
One man has a coffin as a prop, declaring the death of democracy. "Bring out your dead," goes the prop's recording.
UKIP leader Gerard Batten told the crowd at the Make Brexit Happen protest: "As of now we do not know when we are going to leave the European Union.
Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – also took to the stage, addressing the confusion over the latest defeat of the deal: "So Theresa May has lost her vote. Many people will be asking what does that even mean.
The BBC's Sarah Walton, who was also at the scene, said there were some pro-Remain campaign groups demonstrating in central London.
Some of the protesters wore hi-vis yellow vests, like those worn by the "gilets jaunes" anti-government rioters in Paris.
Former black cab driver Colin Grostate, who was at the demonstration, said they were a "symbol from France", adding: "We support the populism.
Campaign group Stand Up to Racism also held a counter-protest in central London, saying it was there "against the far right who are trying to capitalise on the Brexit crisis".
The Metropolitan Police said it had "appropriate policing plans" in place.


Before: It is already tie dyed!
Cut the sides of the t-shirt. Cut off the arms. The t-shirt will be in a rectangle (well somewhat).
If you're a perfectionist, like me, get out a rotary cutter and straighten the edges.
The shirt I had was only a large-which is able to produce ONE diaper.
and the other side was folded to snap on my baby.
In the future, I plan on using an XL or XXL t-shirt.
Have you upcycled t-shirts into diapers? How did it go?
I never really thought about doing this before, very interesting! I have a ton of old t-shirts.

I want to get the SOAP request sent by client in server side.
Is it possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

A: If you mean you want to see the actual soap-message in xml, you can use the apache tool tcpMon

A: It's possible to set java property either on server side or on client side as specified in documentation. Although handler could be an option if you'd need to do something more than just dump SOAP messages. Depending on your environment tcpdump might be most simple solution - no need to restart server, download software etc. actually I prefer it when there's need for such measures.
One peculiar thing to note is that MTOM optimization occurs after handlers execute, so tcpdump would show actual message sent through the wire.

Telenor Myanmar is launching a mobile banking offering in partnership with Yoma Bank.
Considering that only 6% of Myanmar's population has access to a bank account, the service is aimed at allowing the unbanked access to basic financial transactions.
The Myanmar-based unit of Telenor began offering services in Yangon around a month ago, and claimed to have made one million SIMs available after just one day.
CEO Petter Furberg has stated that in terms of customer value, the operator intends to "start at the bottom of the pyramid and work upwards, serving the segment that will not be served by the banks in general because the cost will be too high." He noted that banks typically focus on higher-value customers as they have guaranteed fixed costs.
Telenor's new service will leverage its expansive network for distribution, as well as capitalising on established loyalty to Yoma's brand. In addition, the banking group has strong knowledge of money transfer services. Furberg has stated that Telenor is launching mobile banking services across its Asian operations.
As the Central Bank of Myanmar has not issued guidelines for operator-led mobile money services, Telenor and Yoma are waiting for clarification on this front. Nonetheless, the two firms have begun deploying infrastructure as well as bringing staff on board. Yoma Bank chair and CEO Serge Pun has expressed his belief that there will be an upper limit of $500 on mobile transactions.
While regulation for operator-led mobile money services is still forthcoming, bank-led mobile services such as Myanmar Mobile Money are already available. Rules have reportedly been established for non-bank-led mobile payment licences, with government officials suggesting that they will be issued shortly.
"To me the essence of it is the ability to cash in and cash out a very small amount at a very low price," says Furberg. His vision for the business model would see a customer generating a code from each purchase which is then used by the money's receiver to cash out using their local participating agent.

Q: MATLAB symbolic state space matrix is too large I am trying to generate a transfer function from the state space matrices that I have.
The problem is that the matrices have variables and not numeric values so I have to use symbolic variables in Matlab.
So I started with:
A =

[  -a0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,   a1]
[    0,  -a2,    0,    0,    0,    0,   a3]
[    0,    0,  -a4,    0,    0,    0,   a5]
[    0,    0,    0,  -a6,    0,    0,   a7]
[    0,    0,    0,    0,  -a8,    0,   a9]
[    0,    0,    0,    0,    0, -a10,  a11]
[  a12,  a13,  a14,  a15,  a16,  a17, -a18]

B =

[ b0, b1]
[  0, b2]
[  0, b3]
[  0, b4]
[  0, b5]
[  0, b6]
[  0,  0]

C =

[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]

D = 0

I then found a method online by using
Phi=inv(s*eye(7)-A)

Where Phi is a transfer matirx. Then using
H = C * Phi * B + D

H is supposed to be the result.
However MATLAB cant handle the 7 by 7 matrix and ends up truncating the results.
Is there a better way I can achieve the Transfer Function I require?

A: Take a look at this Wikipedia article on matrix inversion. When considering matrix (Is-A), it has a very special shape and you can invert it using some of the identities given in that article. All you have to do is to split it into blocks, where A is your diagonal part, B is a vertical vector on the right, C is horizontal vector on the bottom and D is a single element in the lower right corner of your matrix. The only inversions you would have to do this way are inverting A, which is diagonal and very easily invertible, and (D-C*inv(A)*B) which is a single number because your C and B are row and column vectors respectively. This can very manageably be done by hand or with symbolic toolbox.

A: In order to be compatible with the dimension of B, your D matrix should be
D = [0 0];

Maybe the truncation of H is due to this?

'Really great' title winner dismisses Tottenham Hotspur transfer links
Antonio Conte's arrival at Tottenham Hotspur gave rise to a number of rumours about Spurs being interested in Inter Milan players. (Sport Mediaset)
The Italian changed Inter's fortunes when he was there. He helped them win the league last season and one player who was integral to his side's success was Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij.
The 29-year-old played 88 times under Conte during his two seasons there and he was incredible. He was arguably Inter's best defender and with Tottenham now reportedly looking for a new centre-half, de Vrij would be a phenomenal signing.
The Dutchman was directly asked about rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham. Here's what he said…
GIVE VIEIRA THE MAN CITY JOB.
Stefan de Vrij dismisses Tottenham links
The Inter Milan star sat down for an interview with Sport Nieuws ahead of Holland's World Cup qualifier against Montenegro this weekend.
Asked to confirm or deny rumours linking him with a reunion with Conte at Tottenham, he said: "Deny! Because I don't know anything about anything.
"The connection was maybe made a bit quickly because the trainer I have worked with is now working there. But I don't know anything. He (Conte) hasn't approached me about it yet."

TBR View:
De Vrij seems pretty clear that there has been no contact from Tottenham or his ex-boss Conte. However, the January transfer window is over seven weeks away and a lot can still happen by then.
The Dutchman, labelled as a 'really great' defender by Ronald Koeman, knows exactly what Conte demands from his defenders. He is positionally disciplined, is good in the air and can play out from the back.
He would be a fantastic addition for Tottenham in the January transfer window. He'll have just 18 months left on his deal as well, which could make him available for a bargain fee, but Inter will do everything they possibly can to keep hold of him.

» The Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO): From Restructuring to Stakeholder Management, They Can Do It All
/ By	Todd A. Zoha
Tags: Asset Sale, Chapter 11 Plans, Fiduciary Duties / Directors, Professionals - Retention/Compensation/Fees,
An Introduction to the Distressed Company's Superman: The Chief Restructuring Officer
The role of a Chief Restructuring Officer ("CRO") is approximately four decades old. While still a somewhat new role in the 1990s, CROs are now ubiquitous in the restructuring community.
Todd Zywicki, a George Mason law professor who specializes in bankruptcy law, traces the origin of the CRO to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (the "1978 Act").1 The 1978 Act created "a unified reorganization chapter [chapter 11] that is fundamentally grounded in the presumption that pre-bankruptcy management will continue to operate the business following the filing of a petition for relief."2 The bankruptcy process became "more of a business tool as opposed to a disgrace; more of a business strategy as opposed to a confession of abject failure."3
In general, the 1978 Act made it easier for businesses to file for bankruptcy and reorganize. Prior to the 1978 Act, total filings under Chapter X, XI and XII averaged about 1,250 per year between 1940 and 1978.4 In the 30 years following October 1979 (the effective date of the 1978 Act), roughly 14,000 chapter 11 cases have been filed each year.5
Fortunately for aspiring CROs, pre-bankruptcy management teams generally lack the restructuring expertise, resources, or credibility necessary to effectuate a successful reorganization. Thus, the CRO role was born and is now commonplace in the restructuring community's lexicon.
Why Hire a CRO?
CROs are retained for a myriad of reasons, in many different types of situations (out-of-court or in chapter 11), and at various stages of a restructuring. The following is a non-exhaustive list highlighting a few reasons to retain a CRO.
Restructuring Expertise & Experience: A CRO can add restructuring expertise and experience to a senior management team unfamiliar with chapter 11 or navigating an out-of-court restructuring. In times of distress, the company has one chance not to fail. A CRO will provide the confidence and leadership that comes from years of experience managing in the frenetic environment of corporate distress.
Resource Management: A CRO (and their team) can supplement an overburdened management team or a business lacking adequate resources to manage a restructuring or chapter 11 process. Appointment of a CRO focused on managing the balance sheet allows the existing management team to focus on the day-to-day operations of the business.
Credibility: A CRO is typically appointed due to a lack of trust or a breakdown in communication between the senior management team and the company's stakeholders. Retention of a CRO can rekindle strained relationships between management and company stakeholders (including employees, vendors, customers, lenders and equity holders).
Management Malaise: A CRO is oftentimes retained to execute or implement a business decision facing opposition from the incumbent management team, the company's workforce or other stakeholders. A CRO can help drive change by building consensus among stakeholders. A CRO is disposed to act fast.
Independent Oversight: A CRO can provide an objective view of the existing management team. In addition, a CRO can be a watchful eye for stakeholders.
Due to the reasons highlighted above, CROs remain predominantly forced hires by lenders. CROs are called upon when it's crunch time. They are thrown into tumultuous environments, requiring unique skills and attributes to strategically revamp a company in need.
A CRO is a member of the senior management team and typically reports to the CEO or directly to the Board of Directors. Given each out-of-court restructuring or chapter 11 case comes with its own unique set of challenges, a CRO's roles and responsibilities are case specific. They can be broad or narrow and include powers that are extensive or limited. As such, today's CRO needs a diverse, well-rounded skill set. In addition to financial and restructuring expertise, it is important for today's CRO to think strategically (like a CEO), have operational experience (like a COO), and be adept at stakeholder management (consensus building and negotiations).
While a CRO's roles and responsibilities are case specific, below is a summary of a few of those strategic and tactical responsibilities.
Cash Management: What are the company's current cash and liquidity positions? Based on the thirteen-week cash flow forecast, is the company burning cash and liquidity throughout the forecast period? Cash is indeed king.
Cash Enhancement (Profit Improvement) Initiatives: Identify financial and operational opportunities for the distressed company to save cash (mitigate or eliminate the company's monthly cash burn) or improve profit.
Raise Capital: Identify and negotiate with providers of debt and/or equity capital.
Stakeholder Management: Manage communications, information, and negotiations with all stakeholders, including employees, secured lenders, unsecured creditors (vendors, landlords, noteholders, etc.), equity/member interest holders, various official or ad hoc committees, and the U.S. Trustee's office if in chapter 11. Develop a coherent and consistent message for stakeholder communications—that is shared and approved by senior management—adds credibility to the process.
Senior Lenders – Negotiate forbearance agreements and waivers, as well as restructuring support agreements/plans with senior lenders.
Employees/Team Members – Keep them informed of the company's plans to restructure. In times of distress, people react differently. Most people would prefer to hear bad news rather than no news at all.
Vendors – Negotiate with suppliers to assure continued support through the restructuring process.
Landlords – Negotiate with landlords to assure continued support while balancing the need for rent concessions and unexpired lease terminations.
Customers – Keep them informed of the company's plans to restructure.
Equity/Member Interest Holders – Keep them informed of the company's plans to restructure (note that their interests might not be aligned with creditors).
Official or Ad Hoc Committees (Creditor or Equity Holders Committees) – Negotiate with and keep them informed of the company's plans to reorganize as needed throughout the chapter 11 process. Their support will likely be key to confirm a Plan of Reorganization in addition to effectuating a successful restructuring post-emergence from chapter 11.
Plan of Reorganization: Develop a strategy and plan to restructure the company. Develop a set of reasonable and achievable projections as a basis for negotiations with company stakeholders.
Sale of the Business (or Equity): Identify and negotiate with prospective buyers of the business, its assets, or equity.
Bankruptcy Preparation: If bankruptcy is an option, whether to reorganize the business or sell assets through Section 363, help prepare the company for a seamless transition into chapter 11.
While each distressed situation requires a different playbook, the goal of a CRO remains unchanged:
"In the end, the goal of a CRO is to restructure a distressed company's balance sheet and make the difficult determination of defining the company's business within a compressed time frame. An effective CRO insulates the company's officers from the detailed reorganization process by leaving them free to pursue the day-to-day operations of the company and implementation of the new business model."6
The CRO is the Gold Standard Role for Navigating Restructurings and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
While CROs were rookies back in the 1980s, today they are commonly found navigating distressed businesses through the treacherous waters of out-of-court restructurings or chapter 11 filings. CROs are retained for the value they provide stakeholders in times of distress. They supplement a management team's existing skill set by providing restructuring expertise, resources, and credibility at a time when failure is not an option. For company-focused restructuring professionals, a CRO role is today considered the gold standard of assignments.

Q: Magento 2.3.1 Cloud EE configure multiple websites on one installation I'm following the official Magento wiki regarding the configuration of multiple websites in Magento 2.3.1 EE cloud but I really cannot understand what I'm doing wrong in my local configuration.
What I want to achieve is something like:
domain1/it
domain1/de
domain2/it
domain2/de
So multiple websites with one store each and each store have two store views.
As you can see I need the same store code for both the websites but creating both from the admin gives an error because the variable is unique.
So I created the store views with codes like domain1_it, domain2_it.
I then specified on the admin panel both the URLs I specified above for the store views. I even un-set the Auto-redirect to Base URL value because it kept redirecting me while I browsed my second domain.
my host's file is the following right now: 127.0.0.1 domain1 domain2
I can access the domain2 right now but when I switch to my store domain2/it I get an error 404. Do I need even more configuration?
For now, I am pretty unsure about this configuration and I'm worried about what I'll have to do for my integration deployment too.
Thanks in advance!

Preview: "No Security: San Jose '99" - Rolling Stones
May 10, 2018 -Preview-, Preview, Rolling Stones
Artist: Rolling Stones
Title: No Security: San Jose '99
Label: Eagle Rock Entertainment
Format(s):
DVD / 2-CDs
3-Vinyl LPs
On July 13, 2018, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release From The Vault: No Security - San Jose 1999, the latest in the acclaimed and collectable From The Vault series. Mining the previously unreleased treasures of the band's archive, this is a simultaneous release on DVD, Blu-ray, DVD + 2CD, 3LP and digital.
No Security captures a stand-out Stones show, with the band in searing form during the closing leg of their American tour in San Jose. Celebrating their return to the city that originally hosted them in 1965, the Stones played to 33,000 people over two nights - intimate by their current day standards. The band opened with "Jumpin Jack Flash", hitting the stage with no security, no inflatables, no bells or whistles - just undeniable on-stage camaraderie - a tight-as-hell band delivering the ultimate rock show to their adoring fans. Treating the crowd to an up-close and personal experience on the B stage and leaving a frenzy in their wake, with Jagger pausing to take photographs of the crowd and high-fiving fans - it felt like a special night for both the Stones and the audience, "We're here to have a good time" said Mick Jagger, and San Jose was excited to join the party.
The set list spans from the mid-sixties hit singles to the Bridges to BABYLON album, including a bluesy, dramatic version of "Midnight Rambler", a dark and swaggering "Out of Control", and the rarely performed live, "Some Girls" and "Saint of Me". The show was an electrifying, anthem-packed, cross generational hot ticket, concluding yet another chapter from the band that wrote the book on rock 'n' roll.< The No Security tour was a mostly arena-sized continuation of the Bridges To BABYLON tour, which had grossed in excess of $274 million. No Security saw the Stones adopt a more STRIPPED back approach, concentrating on the music and playing smaller venues, using fewer special effects and providing an unforgettable fan experience.

Q: Sign in Azure AD users through Azure B2C I am building custom B2C policy to set up sign in of Azure AD users through Azure B2C. This is the link that I am following - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/identity-provider-azure-ad-single-tenant?pivots=b2c-custom-policy
I am unclear on these

*

*Which starter pack should be used when Azure AD is identity provider? I am using socialandlocalaccounts pack - is that correct?

*after I follow instructions in MS link above, I get a Azure AD screen to log in. I enter AD credentials, log in is successful, I can see that a user entry is created in Azure B2C Tenant->Users. So user info from Azure AD is now being created as a local user in B2C. Is this expected? I cannot find any documentation that describes this behavior.

Any suggestions? Thanks

A: In custom policies, social = federation which is what you are doing with Azure AD.
Yes, federated users are created in Azure AD as "shadow accounts". They are not local users. These users cannot log in to B2C directly.
You will see in the User blade that they are a "different" type of user.
If you look at the user attributes:
"identities": [
  {
    "signInType": "userName",
    "issuer": "contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
    "issuerAssignedId": "johnsmith"
  },
  {
    "signInType": "emailAddress",
    "issuer": "contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
    "issuerAssignedId": "jsmith@yahoo.com"
  },
  {
    "signInType": "federated",
    "issuer": "facebook.com",
    "issuerAssignedId": "5eecb0cd"
  }

Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel speaks at the Republican National Convention.
Peter Thiel could have a new title to add to his resume if Donald Trump wins the presidency: Supreme Court justice.
According to a new report from Huffington Post's Ben Walsh, Trump has told Thiel that he will nominate the billionaire tech investor to the Supreme Court if he becomes president.
Huffington Post cites a person close to Thiel as the source of this report, but Thiel's spokesman Jeremiah Hall denied the rumor, telling Business Insider: "Peter hasn't had any conversations about a Supreme Court nomination and has no interest in the job."
Trump's press secretary, Hope Hicks, told Business Insider that there's "no truth to this whatsoever."
Thiel, who cofounded PayPal and venture capital firm Founders Fund, has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump during this election season and spoke at the Republican National Convention this year. Thiel has so far been the biggest name in Silicon Valley to support Trump and is also a delegate for California's 12th Congressional district.
There is currently one vacancy on the Supreme Court after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and Stephen Breyer are also approaching or are over the age of 80 and are likely to leave the court before the next presidential term is up.
